CHAPTER XXX Denny turned in her bed to look at the door between her room and the one that had been her father’s. It was locked, with the key on her side. The first night after their return’to River House, Bourne had brought her to the door of her little sitting room and handed her the key. “This is for your peace of mind, Denny,” he said smiling. “I’m going to occupy Larry’s room.” She was grateful for all his thoughtfulness; but she was also puzzled. For deep down underneath it she was conscious of a faint contempt for him, —a growing contempt because he had been so easily deceived. “I’m as inconsistent as Sylvia!" she thought, suddenly impatient with herself. And flinging aside the bedclothes, she slipped into a padded silk robe, thrust her feet into silver mules, and crossed to the window to look out at the new day. Below, the white frosted roofs of Tarnigan glittered under the rays of a copper sun that hung low over the eastern range. There was a new presence abroad this morning—the potent, dominating presence of Winter, sensed rather than seen. Yet, for all that, Denny was aware that some familiar thing was missing in the landscape. She dropped her glance again to the river front and started incredulously. The Maid, which was not to leave until to-morrow morning, was no longer at the dock! She pressed her face against the pane to command a greater sweep of the stream. There was no sign of the river boat! With a faint dread of—she knew not what—she hastily began to drees. Ten minutes later she burst into the kitchen where Honey-jo was placidly humming, as she shifted pots on the glowing range. "Honey-jo! Do you know that the Maid is gone from her wharf?” The housekeeper turned a mildly surprised face toward her. “Why, yes, child. Cap’n Rev took her down river about daybreak. Didn't you know when he got up?” “Nolo That is, I didn’t know he intended going so early.” She must not betray her ignorance of her husband’s plans, she reminded herself. “I wonder how soon he will be back?” She tried to make her question sound casual but there was an emptiness about her heart. Was it possible that Bourne had gone down to Wrangell and left her? “He didn’t say, Miss Denise." Honey-jo went about the business of poaching an egg. “But it isn’t far down to Lonewater.” All the while Denny was eating her breakfast, she kept wondering why Bourne had taken the Maid down to Lonewater. When the meal was over and still there was no sign of the Maid’t return, she had Holiday saddled and set forth for a ride toward Lonewater. As she came out of the woods into the clearing, she felt a warming sense of relief at the sight of the Maid, still there. But an instant later she jerked Holiday to a standstill and, leaning forward in her saddle, stared at the boat like one in a dream who beholds the preposterous, the incredible. The Maid was not floating in the river I The Maid was resting high and dry on the old, discarded Lonewater ways! Denny’s first impulse was to gallop down and demand the reason for this amazing situation. Then she saw that the crew was still at work. Bourne was not in sight; but a short distance away hi* horse, Coonishma. with dropped hsrt, impatiently stamping the frozen ground. By an effort of will she cat her mount quietly and tried te £alm herself by recalling E/ulTie’s statement made weeks before. “1 always winter my boats In Wrangell. The Lonewater ways are not large enough to take her.”

Yet—there she was. And it was evident, even from this distance, that the ways had been widened and straightened by the addition of many logs and rough-hewn timbers. Little as she knew of these things, she was sure that all this must have required the labor of the crew for several days. And no word of it had been dropped in her bearing. Still, she tried to reassure herself, Bourne might have hauled the Maid out to make some repairs before leaving for Wrangell. At any rate, she must not let him or his men suspect how perturbed she was. And so, with every nerve screaming for haste, she rode forward, holding Holiday to a leisurely walk. When she drew rein at the Maid, every man in the crew turned to greet her. She managed a smile and a careless wave of her riding crop. A moment later Bourne came out of his cabin on the river boat with the ship’s log and a sheaf of papers under his arm. After locking the door, he turned and smiled down at Denny. “Why, hello ... darling!” There was the barest hesitation between the last two words. “What a grand surprise! I’ll be with you in a moment.” He ran down the ladder that stood against the Maid't hull and, after inspecting the shores and braces, nodded his satisfaction and addressed the crew. “Okay, boys. You’ve done a good job. This will hold her nicely until spring. Better step on it now and get back to town before it’s too late.” It was not until the men had gone that Bourne turned his back on the Maid and came toward Denny. The confident swing of his shoulders, the bland look on his face, filled her with sudden hot rage. She sprang from her horse and confronted him. “What does this mean, Captain Bourne?” “Can’t you see, my dear? I’m wintering the Maid in Tarnigan.” Denny bit her lip. Surely, she told herself, this did not mean what she feared. He must have some other way of reaching Wrangell. She tried to steady her voice as she asked, “You—you—But how are we going to get to Wrangell to catch our steamer for the south?” “We’re not going to Wrangell, Denise. Nor to California. We’re staying in Tarnigan for the winter." She stared at him, speechless for a moment at the enormity of the statement that confirmed all her fears. Then she cried, “We? Perhaps you are, Captain Bourne. But most certainly I am not.” “You can do nothing else, Denise." She choked back a furious protest. She must keep calm if she would deal successfully with this cool, quiet devil looking down at her. “Your promises—” she began. “Is this all they are worth? You told me—” “I made you no promises. If I implied that I would accompany you home I have done so. A wife’s home is with her husband. Our home, for the present, at least, is River House." She thought, ‘So this is why he has been so attentive to me, lulling me to a sense of security while he schemed to pen me here in his Godforsaken wilderness.” Then her anger suddenly got the better of her self-control. “I’m not your wife!” She stepped toward him, her green eyes blazing. “I’d rather be dead than be the wife of a bully like you! Do you think I asked you to marry me because I cared anything for you? I did not! I asked you because you happened to be the only man available and I had to have" She broke off, arrested by the unmistakable expression of delight on his face. “White water!” he exclaimed. “I always did like white water." Don’t try to change the subject, you—you insufferable backwoods gambler 1 I married you because—” “I wasn’t trying to change the subject. I was referring to you, Mrs. Bourne. And you don’t have to tell me why you married me. I

know. I’ve known from the moment you—er —auggested the union. My perceptions and my eyesight have been highly trained in the ; -suit of my occupation, you know. » ><rfl the headline of that clipp-Jg yc-u dropped on the floor the night we ran the Canyon.” Denny’s anger was momentarily submerged in the shock of this discovery. “You knew? From the first? Then why—why—” “You asked me if 1 was willing to take a chance, Denny, and I was. Just now you called me a gambler. A good gambler never calls a bet. He either raises or lays down his hand. You opened this play, and I raised. Now it’s up to you. Bui don’t forget—you asked for chips in this game.” "Asked for chips?” repeated Denny. Then the significance of the term struck her. The brute was twitting her because she had proposed to him. The shame of it, the damnable truth of it, enraged her until she scarcely knew what she was doing. She raised her riding crop to strike him across the face. He neither moved nor flinched, yet her menacing arm stopped in mid-air, held there by the look in his narrowed eyes. “Strike, White Water—if you think it worth the price,” he said quietly. “But consider this: your blow would leave a mark, distinctive mark which might cause comment among the villagers and among our house guests. The pride that forced you into this game should continue to make you play it without tipping your hand to the bystanders.” Her arm dropped He was right, the mocking devil. He was always right. A flood of impotent tears threatened her; but she fought them back, determined not to give him the satisfaction of seeing her weaken. When she had gained control of her voice, she demanded, “Do you call this fair? Taking advantage of me—cheating me in this —this game you force me to play?” “Listen, Denise. The last time we stood here at the ways, you questioned my game with Page. I told you I conceded to an opponent the right to choose his weapons and make his own rules, reserving tL right to match them with my own. The some holds good with you. * “You had no scruples about deceiving me. You planned to maka me a puppet to exhibit before your California friends, to save your pride. When I came into your room in Wrangell, I hoped with all my heart that you'd take me into your confidence—play square with me. You didn’t do it. You went right on with your bluff. A bluff is all right—until you’re caught. When you’re caught, you lose. You are caught now, Denise. I’m dealing this hand and you’ll have to play the cards as they fall to you.” “Stop using that odious gamblers' jargon when you talk to me,” she cried. “And understand this—you can’t hold me here against my will. You don’t dare! I’ll wire for help. I’ll find some one to take me down to Wrangell if I have to go in an Indian dugout!”

He shook his head. “I’m afraid not. This is my country. I make it my business to know everything that goes on in it. Ali these people are my friends. Most of them are indebted to me in one may or another. Any message you try to send will first be reported to me. As for going down-river—it’s too late. Look at it. Even though you’ve never seen a freeze-up, you must recognize it.”

Denny’* eyes followed his gesture and her heart sank. The river —she stared at it, unbelieving. The powerful, the invincible, the swiftflowing Stikine, her only means of reaching the coast, was dying. Within the last half-hour much ice had frozen solid a! ng both banks, forming still, gray borders which each moment widened toward the middle of the stream. Between them the water was barely moving • sluggish flow of slush. (To be continued) Ce»yrUhl 6j RarrMl W'.llm,rbb,. DUUibuUd by King iaaluret Syndicate, hx
