CHAPTER XXXVIII Half-past tw0.... She was ready! “Good-by," she whispered with a I farewell look about her little suite. Ten minutes later, in the nebulous gloom that precedes Hie northern dawn, she was sitting in Goldfang Stebbins’ sled, wrapped in a lynx robe. The icy air bit at her cheeks and stung refreshingly in her nostrils. Behind her on the runners ' stood the trapper, cracking his long whip over the backs of his huskies. Ahead of her the string of dim, wolflike shapes went racing southward along the frozen Stikine trail. Denny relaxed in her warm fur robes, secure now in the certainty of escape. For a while she was aware of 1 the vague, bundled form of Lizzie facing her from the front of the sled; of the dim, waving tails of the huskies; the crack of the whip; the squeak of sled runners over snow. But soon the soothing monotony of steady movement through the darkness made her drowsy and she dozed. She woke to find the sun raying up behind the eastern peaks, filling every hollow of the rango with heart-warming rose. The.pure beauty of the winter dawn was entrancing. The trail kept to the river for the most part, swinging to avoid hummocks and rough ice. Occasionally a deep drift forced Stebbins to turn his team aside and climb the embankment to get around the obstruction. It was on such a detour that the wheel dog, struggling in his shafts against the heavy side pull of the sled, missed his footing, and Stebbins suddenly shattered the beauty of the morning by shouting an obscene epithet that made Denny cringe. It was so at variance with his hitherto guarded words of direction that she thought for a moment she had been tricked by some grotesque mis-hearing. But immediately he ripped out another foul phrase which sent her mittened hands up over her ears. She was shocked and indignant but at the same time a vague uneasiness kept her from speaking her mind. At the beginning of the journey it had been too dark to see the trapper clearly, and she had . caught no glimpse of him since, because he was always at the back of the sled. Now she had an impulse to look at the man. Not wishing to be obvious at this, she leaned forward, under the pretext of rearranging her robes, and ! peered at him from under her bent arm. What she saw gave her a sick pang in the pit of her stomach. Stebbins was holding a halfI empty quart bottle of rum to his mouth’in a prolonged pull. When I he lowered his congested face to put | it back into his mackinaw pocket, the saw that his eyes were bloodshot and oddly smoldering under .heir bushy gray brows. It was evident that this was not the first time 3e had taken a drink this morning. Her uneasiness increased to alarm. Now that it was too late, she regretted, with all her heart, that she had not found out more about the man before trusting herself to him on the long, lonely journey to the coast. Her only consolation lay in the fact that Lizzie was with her. She flashed an appealing glance at the Indian woman huddled on the front of the sled. Lizzie sat stony, impassive, seemingly unaware that there was anything alarming in Stebbins’ early drinking on the trail. Her attitude calmed Denny into thinking that it might be the custom of men like Stebbins to refresh themselves from the bottle on a hard trek such as this. They had been traveling for several hours before Stebbins addressed a word to his wife; and then he spoke in her native tongue, which Denny did not understand. Lizzie jerked her head up with a startled look; then her black eyes grew angry and she broke into a flood of gutterals which suggested heated protest. Stebbins answered with a loud guffaw. But when she continued to expostulate, he suddenly snarled a command which reduced her to eowed silence. Not long after that he halted the team at a point where a frozen

Denny <~>s glad to , climb out of her narrow seat When . Lizzie sullenly handed her a sandt wich she ate it and at the same time i eased her cramped muscles by walk- . ing a short distance along an alg most obliterated snowshoe trail , leading off up the creek. . Stebbins finished his food and in , sudden good humor took another - long drink from his bottle. . “All aboard, Mrs. Bourne!” he r sang out cheerfully. r She hurried back to the sled and i climbed in, but forebore to tuck the 1 robes about her until Lizzie, waitt ing nearby, should also be seated, i Stebbins was busy thrusting arti- ) cles into a knapsack. When he fini ished, he tossed the bag to his wife f with a harsh, Thaltan command, t She picked it up, together with a ■ small hatchet and, without a word, began plodding off along the dim , snowshoe trail. '■ Denny, unable to fathom this J move, was gazing at her in perplexity when Stebbins’ abrupt shout • and the wackos his whip sent the huskies leaping forward at a scrami bling run. “Your wife!” cried Denny, twisting to look back at him. “You’ve , left your wife behind!” He gestured with his free hand, flashing a gold-toothed smile. They had rounded a point now that shut off all sight of the creek. “That's all right, Mrs. Bourne. Her brother’s trapping back there a ways. The old woman’s going to visit him until I get back.” For a moment Denny was stunned by th4 unexpected turn of events. Then her mind became a turmoil of ; indecision and alarm. She was just about to leap up and demand that he go back at once to Tamigan when i his voice came casually, reassur- [ ingly from back of her. “Don’t worry about Lizzie, Mrs. Bourne. ; She’ll be all right And with her . weight off the sled, you see, I can . make,much better time, and we’ll . have to spend only two nights on , the trail instead of three.” There was something so matter- . of-fact, so reasonable in his tones, 1 that Denny was able to put up an , outward show of poise while she considered her situation. She might order him to return, but instinct ' warned her that his relations with I Revelry Bourne were such that he ; would refuse to do this—after he had accepted Mrs. Revelry Bourne as a passenger obviously fleeing from her husband. Even if he did take her back, the thought of returning to that roof from which she had departed so pridefully connoted a lack of courage on her part, besides being in the nature of an anticlimax too ridiculous to be borne. Plainly the only thing to do was to go with the fellow. As the afternoon passed, much of her apprehension wore away. Perhaps because she was now facing him, Stebbins refrained from drinking any more. He whistled cheerfully, making no attempt to engage her in conversation save for an occasional inquiry as to her comfort. But as he rode, balancing easily on the runners, he amused himself for long periods by keeping the sinuous length of his dog whip floating in the air. She was watching the almost imperceptible twitching of the wrist that produced this effect when suddenly his guarded glance moved toward the side of the trail. His shoulders sagged forward to the right; there was a peculiar stiffening of his body that sent her eye following his gaze. A snowshoe rabbit had leaped out beside the trail, and just as she looked, the end of Stebbins’ lash caught the creature across the neck, half cutting off its head. It fell backward with a tiny, pitiful sound; and the sled sped past its small form reddening the snow. Stebbins resumed his upright stance. His gold teeth were gleaming between slightly parted lips; his eyes were half-closed in dreamy contemplation of his lash, hissing out again over the backs of his dogs. Denny was sick at what she had seen. Then a new thought sent a shiver through her. From a dis-

tance Stebbins could lay the tip of f that whip across the eyes of a man, . a woman, maiming and blinding as t surely as if he had slashed with a J knife. 1 A little after three the Bun went • down in a blaze of crimson behind 9 a pearl-blue range. “Well, Mrs. Bourne," Stebbins • announced cheerily, “we’ll make 1 Taylor’s Number Two cabin—-our first camp—just in time.” i A hundred yards or so from the r river they came into a small clearing in which a log cabin loomed > dimly in the fading light. Stebbins halted his team before I it and Denny got out of the sled, s She had known the place was de- ■ serted but she was not prepared . for the depressing atmosphere that ■ hung about it. She turned from her survey of > the doubtful shelter to see Stebbins . standing very still in the twilight, i He was sniffing the air with nostrils , that widened and twitched, while i his wary eyes moved swiftly, making a narrow inspection of the evei ning sky above the encircling wall of frozen trees. There was some- ; thing mysterious and frightening i in his attitude that sent a prickle along Denny’s spine. “What is it?” she whispered. “Thought I caught a whiff of wood smoke. Do you smell at»> thing?” Relieved by his casual question, she shook her head. To her there seemed nothing to indicate that any human being, other than themselves, had been within miles of the place for years. Stebbins, after kicking away the snow, thrust his moccasined foot against the door and forced its creaking hinges. It swung back, one corner scraping the earthen floor. A smell of mildew came out Stebbins did not enter at once but, bending his head cautiously forward, played his flashlight about the dark interior. “Could be worse,” he commented; and stepped inside. To Denny the place was incredibly horrible. But Stebbins was at home immediately, tapping soot out of the dilapidated stove-pipe; kindling a fire with the seasoned shavings he found on top of the stove, and shoving a few sticks of wood into the rusty firebox. When the flames were roaring up the pipe, his eyes swept the room until they encountered a six-foot length of two-by-four timber, which leaned against the wall by the door. He hesitated a moment, flicking Denny with a sly glance, then laid hold of the length of wood and, drawing out his belt ax, began to chop it into short pieces. “Keep the fire going with these," he directed, gathering up the chunks and dumping them beside the stove. “I’ll feed the dogs and get some water.” When he returned to the cabin with a pail of water, Denny had a good fire going. He brought in several armfuls of wood, kicked the old papers out of doors, and then began with the deftness of long practice to prepare a meal. In an unbelievably short time supper was on the slab tablemoose steaks, canned beans, bannock and a pot of tea. They had been eating only a few minutes when Denny noted with surprise that Stebbins neither gulped his food nor swooped his tea. More astonishing yet, he removed his spoon from his tin cup before he drank, and placed his knife and fork across the edge of his granite plate instead of propping them up on each side, with the handles resting on the table. Was this an evidence of table manners so imbedded in youth that they lingered on in the man, despite his later years of crude and careless wilderness life? Had he known a gentle upbringing and degenerated into the renegade white he was today? And had she, or had she not, noticed that his English was at times singularly good? As these questions ran through her mind, they brought her, instead of comfort, a new sense of unease and alarm; though she didn’t know why.
