CHAPTER XXXII Denny wormed her way through the crowd of white men and Indians that surrounded the newly landed plane.. Bourne, though he was just about to shake hands with the furred and helmeted pilot, saw her and smiled. As he dropped the young man’s hand Denny, with a now-or-never feeling, started to call ont her intention of departing with the flyer. But her first panting word was lost in the sound of Bourne’s slightly raised voice. -I’ll be hopping off with you, Cliff. Emergency trip. Old Shakespeare George hasn’t come in from the Tansilla—his first failure to spend Thanksgiving in town for ten years. The old boy’s either had an accident or is sick. You can set me down on that little lake a couple of miles from his cabin.” Denny did not hear the pilot’s answer. She was sick with disappointment. She had to clench her hands Inside her mittens to keep from bursting into tears. Had Bourne guessed her intent and taken this means to circumvent her? It seemed too ironic that fate should block her by using precisely the method she had intended to employ against Bourne. And now it was she who was debarred by pride from making any display of her feelings. No matter what it cost her, she must let CJ one suspect the blow that had just been dealt her. To that end she lifted her chin and, a small unconsciously gallant figure, went quickly to Bourne’s side. Tucking a hand over his arm, she managed to look up at him with a shaky little laugh. “Oh, Revell The first mail of the winter! Isn’t it wonderful?” He glanced down at her lifted face under the homemade ermine cap; a face, could she have but known it, like that of a brave child trying not to cry. His lips twitched almost as if her words had hurt him, and into his eyes came the poignant blue light that had once before baffled her. Then he smiled at her and without a word pressed bis fingers over tlie mittened hand she had curved up over his arm. Involuntarily she warmed to the tenderness of the gesture. And to the disarming lack of triumph in his manner. “No,” she thought. “He did not change the landing field to checkmate me. Obviously this is the more convenient place in which to unload the mail.” But immediately it occurred to her that even if he had planned to outwit her, he was clever enough to hide his elation at his success. And —how could she have forgotten it? —he was now only playing his role of loving bridegroom for the benefit of the bystanders. Her face flushed as she remembered how genuine had been her response to his feigned tenderness. Chagrined, she withdrew her hand from his arm. As soon as she could manage it, she slipped awsy from the crowd on the ice and walked slowly back to River House. In the sanctuary of her own room, the realization of all which that accidental change of landing place meant to her swept over her afresh. She threw herself on her couch, crushed by her defeat. No other plane was due this winter. Her only hope now lay in getting away by dog team. And how was she going to accomplish such a flight when every man in the country was a friend to Revelry Bourne? As she lay there too disheartened to change from her outdoor clothes, tome one rapped on the door. In answer to her weary “Come in”, Honey-jo entered, carrying a large package labeled “First Class" and plastered with stamps. She brushed by into the bedroom, where she placed it on the bed and began cutting strings. “Come and see what I’ve brought you. Miss Denise!" Denny rose and complied without interest Honey-io was diving into the box and bringing out jars of eold cream, boxes of powder, bottles of toilet water end perfume—every aecee-

sity and luxury a fastidious woman: might want. All were duplicates of those Denny had used. “I call that sweet of Cap’n Rev!” The housekeeper was sweeping empty containers from the dresser top and replacing them with the new arrivals. “He asked me last month to make out a list of your favorite kinds, so he could wire for them and surprise you. Don’t know of another man in the world who would have had sense enough to think of that. Yuml Yuml” She sniffed rapturously at the black-and-gold leather case that housed a bottle of Denny’s favorite perfume. “I can almost smell it through this elegant box.” Denny looked on with feelings too mixed to permit of a verbal response. Her first delight in these things which she so needed vanished when Honey-jo said Bourne had wired for them a month ago. He had been so sure of his ability to keep her here for the winter that he had sent for them perhaps the very day the Haul was drawn out on the ways 1 Honey-jo went about her work, her tongue wagging happily, until Denny’s silence at last drew her gaze to her young mistress. It was a somewhat hostile stare which instantly changed to a look of concern. “Why, what’s wrong, Miss Denise?” She billowed forward, her plump hands outstretched. “Sakes alive child! Your eyes are a burning green and you’re pale as a ghost!” Denny, suddenly aware that she was betraying herself, jerked herself together and contrived a smile as she patted the housekeeper’s arm, “Nothing’s wrong, Honey-jo. Only I ran all the way down from the hilltop to the new landing field on the river, and so lost most of my breath. And now, this delightful surprise took away the little I had left- The things are lovely—perfectly lovely I It was very kind and thoughtful of you and—and Captain Bourne to send for them.” “Um-m-m,” the housekeeper mumbled noncommittally. Just then Rio, coming down the hall, stopped to poke her head inside the open door. “Come along downstairs. I’m anxious to get my mail. I’ve been gone from New York four whole months and I haven’t had a word from any of the old bunch back there, so I’m sure of getting a letter or two today.” As Denny and Rio were entering the living room, the roar of the plane's motor ripped up from the river. “They’re warming up for the take-off,” commented Rio. “Alderbloom told me Revelry’s going to light out for Shakespeare George’s. Too bad he’ll be gone for Thanksgiving. They tell me he’s got a lot of old birds parked out in the brush, prospecting and trapping and whatnot, and that he watches over them all like a mother does her offspring.” Denny said nothing but her spirits rose a little with the certainty that, for a few days at least, Bourne would be absent from River House. But her relief was brief for the outer living-room door opened and Bourne came in. Denny turned to him with an exclamation of astonishment. “Oh, You didn’t go with the plane!” The next moment she could have slapped herself for the inanity of her words. “No,” responded Bourne mildly, “I’m still here.” He was smiling with veiled amusement “I got to talking to Pete Hale just before the plane left He stopped at Shakespeare’s on the way in from his trapline. He says the old boy’s all right, but the marten are running well, so he won’t be in until Christmas. So I didn’t go.” His voice was pleasantly casual but Denny thought she detected a gleam in his eyes—a gleam that spelled “Checkmate!” She was convinced now that he had changed the landing field at the last minute and had trumped up the story about Shakespeare George just to keep her from Uying get away on the plane.

Anger, frustration, and a maddening sense of impotency mingled produce a devastating emotion that made her long to leap at his throat. It was only her pride that kept her from making a spectacle of herself. No one should suspect the true state of affairs between herself and this blond devil until she held the upper hand. ~ . She made her stiff lips smile and walked toward him. “Oh, Reval!, she cried. “I’m so glad you didn t have to go! Thanksgiving wouldn t seem like Thanksgiving if you were not here with us!” But a few minutes later as she was mounting the stairs to her own quarters, she gritted her teeth and stormed within herself, “The cheat! The big bully! I’ll get away from him if I have to steal a dog team and drive it to the coast myself 1” The day before Christmas came in conspicuously still after the raging of a three-day blizzard. “Look at it,” Rio remarked, with sarcastic disgust, “Tarnigan’s Great White Way!” Her arm went out toward the winter landscape. “What a place!” “The merry, merry Yuletide!” she jeered. “Christmas in Tarnigan! Can you beat it?” Denny did not trust herself to speak. During the past month it had been hard enough to keep up her own hope of escape without having to listen to Rio’s incessant railing at the fate that had imprisoned her in Tarnigan. And it irritated her almost beyond endurance that Rio, now that she was tired of Derek, should disclaim all responsibility for her winter sojourn in the village. Then she became aware that Rio was standing in front of her, but she had lost her belligerent attitude. “Say, I’m a hot one—unloading my troubles on you!” she said contritely. “Even though you’re on your honeymoon, I bet this is no bed of roses for you either, you poor kid!” She drew her brows together consideringly. "As for me—l don't know as I’d be any better off, so far as friends are concerned, if I wera out in the States." At the same time Van Cleve, who had been playing solitaire in the card room, appeared in the doorway. “What’s the matteix Mrs. Carew?” he addressed the restless Rio with quiet mockery. “Still chafing at the burial? One should not enter the tomb expecting to find a temple of joy, you know. For me Tarnigan is proving a most desirable mausoleum, and, like the dead, I never fret about the hopelessness of escape.” “Says you!" Rio’s old spirit flared up to meet his challenge. "But you can’t kid me, Van. You’re just about as content in this hole as 1 am.” Her shoulders rose and fell in a long sigh. “Boy! Think of New York at this season!” she exclaimed wistfully. “True. But Tarnigan has its compensations. Here, at least, we are free from the pernicious custom of buying Christmas presents for our friends. There’s nothing to buy. Consequently no one expects anything.” Rio admitted that but was not to be turned from her subject. She was elaborating upon the gaiety of her old environment when the door to the kitchen opened and Honey-jo poked her head in. “Derek sent word that he’s just finished mounting your moose head, Mrs. Carew,” she announced. “He wants to know if you would like to come down to the warehouse to look it over.” “That pest again!” Rio made a grimace. “Tell him to go chop a hole in the ice and jump into it with the moose head. Tell him to— Oh, well, never mind,” she finished, as Honey-jo continued to regard her with bland eyes. “I suppose a moose head is better than no excitement at all. Tell him I’ll dress and come right down, Honey-jo." She turned listlessly to go upstairs. The doctor went back into the card room. (To be continued) Opp/right M Barrett Willoughby.
