I"The Captjve*Bride ,; l I 1 by BAR&ETT WILLOUGHBY

CHAPTER XXV Later Denny was in the kitchen, watching Van Cleve as he sat at the table trying to eat with his left hand. He was shaved and dressed in his gray flannel suit, the right sleeve of which hung empty. The back door of the kitchen suddenly opened and Revelry Bourne came in from the radio station. His gay buckskin costume accentuated the gravity of his face; his eyes were almost black with some suppressed emotion. He strode directly I toward Van Cleve, who came questioningly to his feet But after one i look at the river captain’s face, the i doctor sank again into his chair and dropped his dark head on the up- , turned palm of his uninjured hand. “I know,” he said in a muffled tone. “No plane available.” “That’s not the trouble, Van. • There’s a hell of a gale roaring along the coast—we don’t feel it , here because the coast range protects us—and no plane, either in Ketchikan or Juneau can take off until it’s over. Dodson, of Ketchikan, tried it when he got my message. He smashed a wing.” Bourne placed a hand on the doctor’s bowed shoulder. “Looks as if well have to go down to Wrangell on the Maid, old man.” “Not much good, Rev.” Van Cleve shook his bowed head. “We can’t start till daylight, and it will be too late to do what’s necessary to give me a chance, when we get there.” “Well start at once.” “Start now?” Van Cleve looked up in amazement. “Why, man! It’s dark! You can’t run white water at night.” “My crew is willing to take a chance with me. It’s the only way to get you down there in time.” “No, old fellow. I appreciate your courage, but I can’t Jet you take such chances for me.” Nevertheless Van Cleve slowly stood up, hope dawning in his dark eyes. Bourne spoke calmly: “I’ve been taking chances on the river ever since I was old enough to handle a steering wheel, Van.” He spoke quietly. “I'll take you down tonight Will you go?” For a moment Van Cleve considered the lean, blond face on * level with his own. “By God, Rev,” he answered hoarsely, “I believe you can make it I’ll go.” The two men went into the living room to announce their departure. Denny followed and made herself inconspicuous against the window hangings. The party of hilarious hunters broke off to greet the doctor and were noisily demanding his “bear story” when the outer door opened. Harp and Boom came in, their tanned faces set and serious. Harp reported, "Ship’s ready, Captain. Crew’s standing by.” "What’s this? What’s this?” demanded the Colonel. "Not letvfng to-night, are you, Captain? I understood —” “Sorry, gentlemen. Van Cleve’s injury makes it necessary for him to reach a doctor to-night. I want you all to make yourselves at home here for a few days. I’ll either be back myself to get you, or—l’ll have another boat come up.” The Colonel came forward, protesting. “But I say, Captain! We want to go now! Nothing to hold us, you know. We’ll take our hats, the jolly old boiler, our departure, and continue the party on the boat. What?” Bourne smiled but his eyes remained grave. He shook his head. “Running the Stikine at night is a risky business, Colonel.” He tried to explain just how risky, but the hunters promptly shouted him dawn. Finally he said sternly.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, JULY 30, 193/.

I pied the camp and many had to be turned away, The camp is located Just across the street from the east gate of ' the fairgrounds. Facilities are off- ! ered free to those who bring their I own camping paraphernalia and to I those who do not, a nominal fee of 75 centa per person, per night is charged for a waterproof tent, cot, clean bedding and other conveniences. A deep driven well supplies the camp with water, and a market is | located nearby where supplies of i all nature can be obtained. Sever- ' al recreation features have been ! provided and free parking space will be supplied registered camper's automobiles. . Pass out checks will be Issued at the registration gate enabling the campers to go and come from the fairgounds at will. For any further information write Lyndes | L. Lattimer, Warsaw, Ind., R. R. 5 I who will again be in charge of the camp grounds. ______

“Have some sense, boys. Van is obliged to take this chance, but you—” “Chance!” The Colonel seized on the word joyously. “Splendid! Sporting way to end our holiday! Charge of the Light Brigade and all that sort of thing. We’ll stand by, sir! We insist on going with you!” Bourne’s further protests were lost in the chanting of the capering hunters. In the end he threw up both hands. "All right, you darned fools. Come along. But it’s at your own risk. It’s nearly eleven. I cast off in half an hour.” The men stampeded upstairs to get their belongings together. Denny stood alone in the living room. She had been so certain of leaving River House in the morning that now, contemplating the week that must elapse before the Maid, or same other boat, returned, she was beset by a sense of let-down. Already she felt the loneliness of those who are left behind. As she swung the door wide and stepped out onto the terrace for a breath of fresh air, the sharp reports of starting engines came up through the darkness. The sound was like a summons to adventure. As Denny stood there, the whisper of the Stikine came seeping into her consciousness through every channel of sense and nerve; weaving again that spell which seemed te have in it a sort of guidance. “Time is passing. Life is passing. Live intensely while you may.” To-night, she thought, every soul aboard the Maid would live intensely on that wild journey to the eoast. And she would be lost in sleep at River House. . . . She felt a stir of envy; an irreparable sense of loss. Once away from this land, she would never know another night like this. Never another river. Her gaze went back to the Stikine’s mesmerizing flow; and after a moment she had another of those unaccountable blank spaces of mind when the stream of her identity seemed to merge and mingle with the fast, smooth current of that other stream sweeping dimly through the dark. When the moment ended, she knew she had surrendered to some mysterious sense of direction. She knew she was going to run the Stikine to-night with Captain Revelry Bourne. She turned to run back into the house just as the captain came out on to the terrace, dressed in his ordinary clothes. “Whoa, there!" he said, laughing and advancing with wide-strotched arms. “At least whoa long enough for me to tell you goodby." His words were light but she remembered he had never before sought her to say good-by. “It isn’t necessary, Captain!" she answered gaily. "I'm going with you. Harp will get my things aboard quickly and—” “Nothing doing, young lady! You don’t set foot on the Maid to-night. This is strictly mi emergency trip and—well, It’s just out of bounds for little girls!” "But not for this particular little girl!" she insisted. Then, realizing that he had it in his power to make her stay behind, she grew a little incoherent in her earnestness. “Oh, you must take me with you 1” She stopped, at a loss for words to make him understand what she herself did not understand. He placed a hand on each of her shoulders, holding her at arms’ length and considering her, as he had done after that scene in the grove the first night she knew him. But now she divined in his silent appraisal not disapproval, but a certain understanding. “So,” he said at last, “you do have

something of Larry Keith's spirit in you, after all.” She was aware of the electric tension of his body flowing like a current through his hands on her shoulders. “You realize the risk, Denny?" She nodded. “And still you’re willing to take a chance with me?” “Os course." With an effort at lightness she added, “I’m like the Colonel. I think it a sporting way to end my Northern holiday. Besides,” she added shyly, “I—l’d never be afraid when you are at the wheel of the Maid." She felt a single pressure of his hands before he released her. “All right,” he agreed. “Oh!” She drew a deep breath. "I feel—wonderful! On the edge of tremendous things about to happen. I feel—that this is our lucky night, Captain!” He laughed. “Little dark child, any night's a lucky night when you and I run the Stikine—together." She did not answer because Honey-jo was calling from the living room door that the hunters wero waiting to bid her good-by. • • • Aboard the Maid, Denny was counting her bags piled on the floor of Bourne’s cabin back of the pilothouse. He had insisted that she occupy his quarters; and she suspected that it was because he wished to have her near him in case of an emergency. • Rising now and then above the murmured speculation of the crowd came predictions of disaster. Loudest and most pessimistic in his comments was one “Goldfang” Stebbins, a tall, wolfish trapper in buckskins, whom Denny finally located leaning against a mooring piling. “Bourne’s a fool to think he can run the Canyon in the dark!” The fellow’s upper lip curled back, exposing a mouthful of startling teeth, every one of which was capped with gold. "It can’t be done, that's all.” “Shakespeare” George, ancient eccentric of creeks and mountains, roared a contradiction. “ ’And when the thing that couldn’t has occurred,’ ’’ he quoted. "Say, I’ll lay ten to one that the skipper makes it without losing a sliver off—” “A good bet, Shakespeare!" Bourne, making his way through the crowd, spoke laughingly at the old man’s shoulder. “This is one time when, like the hunter with but one cartridge, I can’t afford to miss. , I’ll be docked in Wrangell before daylight.” , The captain crossed the gangplank and ran up the companionway to the upper deck. He encountered Shan in the shadow of the pilothouse, fumbling with the drawi string of his tobacco pouch. The old Indian pointed dramatically to the , river rushing by, vaguely'marked by surface whorls that dimpled ; fleetingly in the starlight “No-o-o good! B-a-d! De-La-t-s bad!" And he tossed in a pinch of tobacco. Bourne put an arm across the pilot’s shoulders. “Oh, no, Shan, i See!” He pointed toward the northern sky, alive with pulsing i lights. "Happy spirits dance to- - night Good luck, old-timer. Well i run her wide open and be in Wran- : gell before you know it.” Shan muttered something unin- ’ telligible. 1 Bourne stepped inside to the wheel and pulled on his cap. Ho patted Tongass, already sitting ; erect on his seat; then jingled stand by” to the engine room. A • moment later, with his head out > the open window, he was calling. • “All clear aft? ... Cast off the bow- • line! Take in your spring!” (To be continued) ! Dtatrlbuted by King keaturM Sjrvdieatn. Tm,
