("The Captive-Bride" I X Z, y BARRETT WILLOUGHBY

SYNOPSIS Larry Keith had stipulated in his will that his daughter, Denise, a young San Francisco society girl, should. visit his hunting lodge, "River House,” in Tarnigan, Canada, before disposing of the property. There he had lived alone for eighteen years because his wife, Sylvia, had refused to spend even one month a year in the north he loved. Larry, an outfitter for big game hunters, met the pampered Sylvia when she accompanied her father on a hunting expedition and, after a whirlwind courtship, married her. When he refused to give up his free river life, she divorced him and remarried. In accordance with her father’s wishes, Denise boards the Stikine Maid, owned by Captain Revelry Bourne, at Wrangell, Alaska. The natives speculated as to whether she had come among them with her mother’s scorn or like her father, whose passing everyone mourned. Unconscious of all this, Denny watches the passengers come aboard. First came Dr. Pool Van Cleve, tall, dark, distinguished and morose looking. Then followed Rio Carew, wealthy divorcee, with Larry’s best college-bred, half-breed Indian guide, Derek Haskell; Harp MacFarlane; and Boom McGee, cook on the Stikine Maid; and lastly, two nurses.*Shortly after, Revelry Bourne,the skipper, arrived. Though he gave no impression of bigness, there was about him something unhurried, sure and powerful. Denny preferred dark men like her fiance, Murray Hart, but, nevertheless, the blond river captain attracted her. The journey Marts and as they sped along on the current, Denny’s eyes swept the beauty of the surrounding country and she wondered why her mother hated it so. Sylvia's words came back to her: “The Stikine—it’s a witch river. Dangerous. Cruel. It puts a spell on you. It won your father from me.” CHAPTER 111 Something of Larry Keithfs feeling for the Stikine had coma down to Denny through her Irish nurse, dead now a dozen years. The old woman’s idioms had impressed themselves on the girl’s memory. “He’d be holdin’ you on his knees, acushla, and you no bigger than the length of me arm. The two eyes of him were green and filled wid light, like your own. And, oh, the elegint language of himl ‘Denny, darlin’ he’d be sayin’, ’l’ll take you home to the river some day—a river that rises in a man’s dream and flows straight through his heart. Jade-white she is born of glaciers and wid silver poplars laughin’ on her banks. There’s never a stream | in all the world so beautiful and beguiling.’ ” “Which river am I going to find?” Denny asked herself now. “Sylvia’s —or Larry Keith's?” At first Denny had no idea of parting with her heritage; but Sylvia needed money, more money than her present husband could give her just now. It was she who had insisted that Denny fulfill at once the obligation of the will and then sell the place at the earliest possible moment The Maid rounded a wooded point and Denny was literally jolted into keen attention. Before her lay a wide green bay split down the center by a lane of jade-white water. Instinctively she knew—the Stikine I A river so swift, so opaque with the silt of half a thousand glaciers that here, three miles from its mouth, it arrogantly maintained its identity as it flowed through the deep, salt seal She drew a deep breath. Her blood quickened as her eyes turned inland toward the heart of the north whence came this stream that had proved to be a flowing road of desll ny for her mother. She had a dawning sense of the river as a powerful, mystic personality. Hostile? Benign? She could not tell. Hut in her something prophetic 1 awakened. She had a flash of emotion incongruously compounded of trepidation, anticipation, and happiness. It passed, leaving her with

a feeling of being a stranger to her- . self and to the life she had always . known. I In sudden, contrite loyalty to the ,’ past, she turned her back on the ’ Stikine Valley and stood looking yearningly toward the south. There lay everything she held dear, everything she wanted—her home, her n mother, and Murray, who loved her B devotedly. The Maid was breasting the rej sistance of the river now. Denny, r moving about, was aware of the increasing vibration and the muted * pounding of water against the hull. . The effect was oddly pleasant. It j gave her a feeling of inevitability, ■

• of being carried forward without 1 her volition, yet in away that left ' her serene and careless as to the 1 outcome. 5 Denny was drawing a deep, in- • vigorating breath when she heard ! a drawling voice beside her. “It 1 sure makes the ‘Alps look like a 1 billiard table, eh, Miss Keith?” She swur. g about to face the sturdy 1 piper whose bibulous boarding of 1 the Maid brd so amused her. He 1 was sober. But he had that purity 1 of expression the male takes on after being tubbed and manipulated ’ into sobriety. i “My name's Harper I. MacFarlane, hut most folks call me Harp,” ’ he went on easily, at the same time • bowing to extend a huge bouquet i of sweet peas he had filched, in • passing, from the dining room. • “You don’t know me, but I’ve been • hearing about you ever since you I was knee-high to a clam. I’ve been running Larry Keith’s outfit for nearly twenty years—time out for t the War, of course.” Then he con- > tinned with a wild grin, “Just my luck to have you show up when I ’ was bottled as a hoot owl I Boom : and me were giving our devils a run ) last night. Why didn’t you let me > know you was heading up this I way?” , Denny thought, “So this is my ■ father’s trusted foreman!” It was i impossible to connect the bacchanalian piper with that businesslike communication he had written to inI form her of her father’s death. I Could such a man be really efficient? i Trustworthy? I She found her answer in Harp’s • hazel-gray eyes that were intensely i alive under circumflex brows; eyes i with a straight-gazing quality that ■ compelled confidence. She smiled . with sudden radiance and put her : slim hand in his calloused paw. “I ■ did write you a week ago, telling I you I was coming," she said. “A week! That explains it.

I’m mighty glad to see you.” He released her hand and stood looking her over. For a moment there was only the rush of the river against his silence. Then softly, as if speaking to himself, he said, »W-e-l-l . . . w-e-1-1. Larry’s little kid come home at last.” “Home? Oh, no!" Denny felt an invading disquiet, as if something that had been biding its time were now reaching out to claim her. “My father—he never thought —never expected me to come to Tar-

t nigan, did he?” Unconsciously her t voice echoed her mother’s antipathy • for the place. Harp considered her for an in- . stant. "All of us in Tarnigan sort 1 of figured you’d come some day. ; You would have been glad to know ! Larry. Best chap that ever threw boot over saddle. You know, Miss r Denise, when I heard you was aboard ( this morning, I didn’t believe I was . going to take to you much. Thought , you’d be one of these hoity-toity i dames. But—you’ve got the look of | him in your face—his green eyes and his come-along way of smiling . with ’em.” > Something in his speech touched , Denny and made her say, “I hope, ; when you know me better, you’ll i like me as much as you did him.” Harp looked at her as she re | garded him over the sweet peas, her , eyes grown a little wistful, her , mouth very sweet. “Hell,” he said . shyly, glancing swiftly away, “I . think you’re swell right now.” He cleared his throat and resumed , in his usual drawling manner, “But —I didn’t come here to get senti- ! mental, Miss Denise. Now that you own the business, I thought I’d , give you a line on the parties com- , ing in for the Fall Hunt. There’s Mrs. Carew; and this Doctor Van , Cleve; and a colonel from Ireland; and three young Austrians from . Vienna. Now—” “That's all right, Harp. You attend to iL I’ll be selling the place as soon as the hunting season is ; over, you know.” “What?” he exploded. “Sell River , House?” | She nodded. “You wrote me there 1 was a buyer for it, don’t you re- . member? Who is he. Harp? And 1 j why do you suppose my father put i , that clause in his will, making it necessary for me to come all the 1 , way up here before I could dispose I of the property?” (To be continued) Cimrrleht bj SarrHt WlUmuhbT.
