CHAPTER XXXVI Denny got up ai.J dressed, and went downstairs. The entire household, assembled in the living room and obviously waiting for her, greeted her entrance with a barrage of “Merry Christmas I” A tall screen stood at an angle beside the fireplace; above the top of it appeared a large tinsel star affixed to the tip of a Christmas tree. Along the mantel hung a row of bulging stockings and socks—one for every individual present, together with a huge one of pink mosquito netting labeled “Tongass.” The pine-scented room was alive with that unmistakable air which comes from expectancy and the self-rewarding pleasure of giving. Denny seated herself, half-pleased, yet half-dreading what was to come. Revelry Bourne made an easy and humorous master of ceremonies as he handed out stockings that were filled with all manner of adolescent delights—candy and gilded nuts; polished apples; popcorn and droll tin toys. Tongass, with his big, net stocking dangling from his mouth, looked the assemblage over, and then came to Denny and laid it on her lap. He looked up into her face, emitting a polite, questioning “Woof?” "Can you beat it!” exclaimed the admiring Rio, sitting down on the couch beside Denny. “He’s asking you to open it’ • Denny untied the string and the dog poked his nose into the stocking and brought out a large tin of chicken; then a package of dog biscuits. Rio read the labels aloud for him, pointing out the letters with her finger. Denny was watching the older woman’s unrestrained enjoyment of the stockings with surprise and a faint pity, when Rio leaned over to her and said, in a lowered voice, “I suppose you think I’m acting like a nut, Denny. But this is the fir* honest-to-God Christmas I’ve ever had." Bourns had now removed the eereen from before the lighted tree and Denny's heart sank at the sight of the mound of packages beneath it. She was only half aware of Bourne’s lively comments as he handed out the presents beginning with Pinecone and Alderbloom. She sat with a fixed smile when Harp, bestowing on Boom his most valued possession, • wicked-looking knife, kept impressing his friend with the rareness of the gift. She grew increasingly conscious that every one in the house had remembered her and Van Cleve with gifts; and she had given nothing. Her packages were piling up on the couch beside her and though she did not fee! tike opening them, she was forced to do so by the eager donors, who waited to see her pleasure. What surprised and touched Denny most of ali was that even Rio, in the seclusion of her own quarters, had managed to knit a muffler for every one present, from yarn she had purchased at the Hudson's Bay store. They were uneven and full of knots, but Denny knew that many hours of work had gone into them. The last package at the foot of the tree was a small, white-wrapped box tied with silver ribbon and a sprig of pine. Bourns placed it in Denny’s lap. She made no move to open it, but sat, constrained and unhappy, wishing with all her heart that she might live the last month over, so that she covid show these eheerful. generous people that she was not really indifferent to them. “How selfish they must think me," she thought Yet, as she looked about her, she felt only the warm affection of friends trying to make a loved alien feel at home during the holiday season. For some reason, this increased her sense of isolation. Presently, when everyone else had left the room. Bourne cane and sat beside her on the couch. She could feel the air between them current with unspoken thoughts. She wanted to cry; actually wanted to cling to the mascabne figure beside

her, pressing her forehead against his shoulder as she sobbed out her regrets. Not because he was Revelry Bourne, she told herself hastily; but because, after all, she bore his name, and he was strong and master of himself and of this land in which she was exiled. “Aren’t you going to open my present, Denny?” There was a boyish eagerness in Bourne’s eyes as he indicated the white package in her lap. “Yes, yes. Os course.” Hastily she began to remove the wrapper. It was a carved ivory box, yellow with age. Inside, on a lining of faded violet, lay an ivory miniature; small but executed with the delicate dash and brilliancy that had made the name of Richard Cosway famous. There was something familiar about the lean, audacious young face, blue-eyed and faintly smiling under a powdered wig. But the clothes were those of a French elegant of the court of Louis XV. The whole was encircled by an ova] frame of finely wrought gold, smooth with the friction of over a century and a half. She took it up wonderingly and turned it over. On the back, under thin glass, fastened to a ground of time-yellowed white satin, were two locks of hair. One was dark brown; the other beneath it was a curl of soft red-gold. “Reval Thebain, my ancestor on the distaff side," Bourne explained. “It was painted before he left France for Montreal in 1776. He disregarded the Vicomte before his name, doffed his velvets and lace for buckskin, and became the most famous river man of his time—‘Whitewater" Thebain. The blond curl came from the pretty head of Katheleen O’Day, whom he married. She was the daughter of Roderick O’Day of the Hudson’s Bay Company. This miniature was my mother'* dearest treasure.” “And you ara giving it to me?” "Os course.” Denny held the lovely thing in ner hand, sincerely admiring, deeply interested. And then suspicion crept into her mind. Was this just another gesture in his role of husband? It must be, yet what could she say now without appearing gauche and ungracious? Why must this man always do things that put her at a disadvantage? When she remained silent, Bourne went on, “But if you don’t care for old miniatures, there is something more modern for you in the box." He reached in and withdraw a small etched gold case. A pressure of his thumb released the lid and revealed the most beautiful sapphire ring Denny had ever seen. “It’s an Alaska gem—green like your eyes, Denny. They are rather rare. My father got this one from an Indian years ago. The gold in the ring is some I washed out myself when I was a little boy. Mother kept both in the safe-deposit box at Wrangell, so I was able to send them off as soon as we were married to have the ring made for you.” "You had this made—for me?” He nodded. “My mother always thought such a lot of her engagement ring, I knew how a girl must feel about such things. But the devil of it it, in this country we have to plan a long time ahead if we wish to make a gift And you see our engagement was so—shall I say unpremeditated, so very brief that...” Denny didn’t hear the end of his statement By this time she was so miserably conscious of the contrast between her own seeming selfishness and the generosity of hdr companions at River House that she was prone to take offense at anything Bourne might say. In her sensitive state, the words “unpremeditated” and “brief” carried a covert taunt A dozen unreasoning accusations rushed into her mind It seemed to her that the m n was slyly twitting her with the fact that she had hurried him into a marriage before he had time to provide the customary ring. And this brought back, full force, all the anger and resentment

against him that had been building up in her during these long weeks. Because he had her trapped and helpless here, he thought it jafe to vent his spite in thinly veiled jibea And now he was showing her how magnificently he could do the conventional thing. He was pressing these costly gifts upon her to emphasize the fact that she had given him nothing. And, crowning effrontry, he had taken the ring from its case and was holding it invitingly so that she might thrust her finger through it. Abruptly, lest her suppressed anger slip its leash, she placed the ivory box and the miniature on the couch beside him, and came to her feet. “You are kind, Captain Bourne,” she said, in an unsteady voice. “Much too kind. Bat you must understand that I have no interest in any ancestor of yours. As for the ring—there is no need for any love pledge between you and me. Keep it for some one who will engage herself to you less impulsively. The miniature—keep that also for one who may become a permanent member of your family.” She turned and started blindly foz the hall, nearly colliding with Van Cleve, who was just entering the living room. She hoped he had not heard her outburst But as she mounted the stairs, her heated afterthought was, “What matter if he did hear. In a day or two I’ll be gone and every one in the house will know the true state of affairs between me and Revelry Bourne.” • • e The next day Bourne played into Denny’s hands by going out to shoot ptarmigan. After making sure of his absence, she slipped down to the native quarter and finding Stebbins, completed her arrangements for he* flight. We leave early in the morning—about four,” he told her. “Your wife is going with us, of course.” "Sure. Unless—you’d rather she didn’t." Denny thought there was a suggestion of familiarity in his tone, but she couldn’t be sure. Under her straight look he instantly became subservient and added hastily, “Lizzie—that’s the wife—bought your sleeping bag this morning. And that reminds me. This trip is going to be harder than I thought. I’ll have to break trail a lot of the way, so I’ll have to raise the ante on you, Mrs. Bourne, say twe hundred and fifty more.” Denny didn't like that. Seven hundred and fifty dollars seemed a big price, since the man was going to the coast anyway. But on second thought she realized that she was buying his silence. The more she paid him, the surer she was of reaching Wrangell. She consented, making it clear that he could not be paid until she reached the bank in the tide-water town where her money was on deposit. “I don’t wish you to corny to the house for me in the morning,” she instructed him. “I shall meet you at four in front of the church.” He flashed her a gold-toothed grin. “I get you, missus." She walked back to River House and, finding the lower floor deserted except for Honey-jo busy in the kitchen, went into the card room to complete her half-finished map of the route Stebbins was to take. She had just marked in “Taylor’s Number Two Cabin” the first-night camp they would make on the way down, when she was startled by a terrific commotion on the stairs—thumps and a series of yells. She had the presence of mind to roll the large map and thrust it hack into its tube, and turn her sketch face down on the table before she ran out into the hall She found it was only Alderbloom. who had fallen downstairs with a hamper of soiled linen. Honey-jo was already extracting her from a tangle of sheets and pillow cases. (To be continued) Owlfhl k, Barrau Wllloofbbr OllUlbulad oj XU< Faauiraa iradicata. tna.
