PThe Captive'Bride? I 1 Zy
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 but morose looking. Then followed Rio Carew, wealthy divorcee, with Larry’s best collegebred, 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. Denny preferred dark men like her fiance, Murray Hart, but, nevertheless, the blond river captain attracted her. The journey starts 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." Harp MacFarlane, Larry’s foreman, tells Denny she may not want to get rid of River House once she sees it. The conversation swings to Bourne and Harp praises the river captain’s skill on the treacherous Stikine, saying he is swift to see and lightning to act. Harp goes on to say that Revelry radiates “class” like Dr. Van Cleve. The latter, Denny learns, is a surgeon from Philadelphia, suffering from a nervous breakdown. Although Harp’s eulogy of Bourne does not move Denny, Rev’s affectionate attitude towards his dog, Tongass, appealed to her. Shortly after witnessing a chummy scene between master and dog, she is startled to hear Bourne shout, “Tongass I” Turning around, Denny sees Tongass and Brussels, Rio’s dog. slowly approaching each other, fangs bared. CHAPTER VI “Tongassl Te heel!” Bourne sprang toward the dogs. But before he could reach them, they had hurled themselves together in an explosion of canine rage, and had gone down interlocked, gyrating, a tangle of raking claws and slashing fangs. Bourne, stepping in and out like a boxer, vainly grasped first at one collar, then at the other. He hadn’t a chance. In that first impact Tongass had clamped his vicelike jaws low on Brussels’ throat, and he never broke to drive in for a better hold. He clung. Brussels, with powerful strokes of his hind legs, strove to rip the soft skin of the husky’s belly. He succeeded in scraping the hair from Tongass’ sides; but the wolf dog defeated each murderous slash at his vitals by flinging his body clear. At the same time, he inched his grip toward Brussels’ jugular vein, deaf to his master’s shouts, lost to everything but his intent to kill. Forgetting her languors and her assumed accent, Rio rushed into the arena on the heels of Bourne. Red hair flying, white trousers flapping, she danced about the fighting pair, punching the air with her fists and screaming encouragement to her dog. “Kill him, Brusselsl Kill him!” Brussels’ cries had suddenly taken on a ghastly, strangling sound. Rio, for the first time sensing disaster for her thoroughbred, jerked herself to a standstill; then leaped on Bourne, “Take your wolf off!” she shrieked. “Take him away! Don’t let him kill Brussels!” Her clutching fingers impeded the

captain’s movements so that Brussels’ raking hind claw tore across his left hand. He shook the blood from it and without ceremony set Rio to one side, his eyes at the same time sweeping the deck as if in search of a weapon. So swiftly that no one had time to wonder at his action, he darted to Denny Keith, slipped a steadying arm about her, snatched the leather pump from her foot and, with it in his hand, leaped back to the fight. Tongass had pinned Brussels to the deck and was standing over him, inexorably tightening down on the police dog’s throat. Brussels’ eyes were starting from his head;
Captain Bourne, with Rio Carew at his heels, sprang towards the dogs now bursting into an explosion of canine rage.
his hind legs twitched feebly; his cries were stilled. Bourne drew back his arm and with the Cuban heel of the pump struck his own dog a sure, sharp blow between the eyes. Tongass went limp on the deck. Brussels staggered to his feet and, indomitable still, lunged weakly toward the unconscious husky. When Bourne yanked him aside, Rio, swearing and murmuring endearments, threw herself on her knees beside her pet, clasping him to her. “See if her dog’s hurt,” Bourne snapped to the purser, just arriving on the scene. He turned to his motionless husky, gathered the dog up in his arms, and held the limp form against his breast. “Tongass . . .” he said quietly. “Tong, old man.” The dog lay as if dead. Bourne’s face was sphinxlike, but Denny caught a glimpse of his eyes. They held a look so arresting that she never forgot it—a poignant blue light that made her heart contract. He called his husky’s name once more. When there was no response, he swiftly carried his burden into his own cabin and closed the door with his foot. After Rio found that Brussels had sustained no serious injury, she rose and started to tow him toward the companionway; but Harp blocked her path. “Now see the row your purp raised,” he began disgustedly. “I warned you—” "My pup!” the woman cut in. “You’re crazy! It’s Captain Bourne himself who is responsible! Only a brute could have done what he did—and to his own dog too!” With a flash of contempt, she moved off, supporting her wavering pet by the shreds of his green collar. Harp turned to Denny. “Can you feature that? • A brute! She calls him a brute because he knocks his dog cold to save the life of hers! . . . Humph! A lot of things that jane don’t know. One of ’em is that

it ain’t every man has the courage to be a brute to the thing he loves when he knows it’s necessary. "Courage—to be a brute —to the thing he loves,” Denny repeated wonderingly, as she went below to her stateroom. The words stirred and baffled her. By dinner time peace and harmony once more reigned aboard the Stikine Maid. The captain’s hand had been dressed by the doctor and the injury was not serious enough to keep him from taking his trick at the wheel. Tongass, restored to consciousness, was asleep in his master’s cabin. Rio Carew, had ceased railing against Tongass’ "attack” on Brussels.
When Denny, a little late in answering the dinner gong, reached the dining room she found the meal under way; but the captain was absent. Harp escorted her to her place and sat down beside her, proclaiming to all that he had an appetite like two horses. Harp presented all those whom Denny had not yet met—among them Boom. The cook eyed her a moment and then, as if he. like Harp, had been expecting tier a long time, added, “It’s sure good to have you with us at last. Miss Keith.” Later Boom produced his accordion and with it some lively music. Toward the end of dinner, couples were fox-trotting between the tables. Rio Carew eyed them over her teacup; but when the man next to her asked her to danee, she refused; having first assured herself by a glance at Denny that the girl was still seated and was not, apparently, going to enter into the informal gaiety of these Northerners. Denny was seated because no one had asked her to dance. Singularly enough she wanted to. Instinctively her eyes sought Doctor Van Cleve. He sat abstractedly eating his dinner. She felt vaguely disappointed and found It necessary to remind herself that she, after all, was no part of this river life. Yet she watched, with increasing interest, the spontaneous, wholehearted enjoyment of those about her. Harp’s drawl broka in on her abstraction. “Doggone my wild nature, Miss Denise. That pie-box of Boom’s has got my feet to tapping.” He looked at her, hesitating a moment as if unsure of her response. Then he finished, almost shyly, “You wouldn't mind having a twirl with a rough fellow like me. would you?” Smiling, she came to her feet. (To be continued) CoprrtjM b, Barrett WUlouchbr.
