CHAPTER XXXIX Stebbins finished his meal before Denny did and she was actually relieved when he rose and uncouthly wiped his palm across his mouth, mumbling through it, “Well, I got ; to be getting at the chores.” She tried not to be obvious in her watching of him as he busied himself making her camp comfortable for the night, but from under lowered lids she followed his every move. He cleared the bunk of its accumulation of dried boughs, and with a broom of cedar branches swept the earthen floor to a semblance of neatness. After spreading several wolf skins in the bunk, he placed her sleeping bag on top of them. He unrolled it slowly and then ran his hand down the length of it, giving her a sly, calculating look that made her heart contract But a few minutes later she chided herself for her foolish fears when Stebbins, placing himself respectfully before her, announced, “Your bed’s fixed now, Mrs. Bourne. You can hit the hay any time. I’ll bunk down outside as soon as I clean up the dishes." “Oh, never mind the dishes, Stebbins. I’ll wash them. Thank you for arranging my bed so nicely. And—good night.” “Okay by me,” he answered goodnaturedly. \ After Denny finished the dishes, she opened the door and stood looking out into the darkness. The outlines of the trees walling the clearing were almost merged into the gloom of the night. Stebbins’ campfire flamed up, crimsoning the stretch of snow between it and the cabin. In front of it, the man had unrolled his blankets on top of the sled; back of it he had erected a framework of poles, over which he was now draping a tarpaulin to act as a windbreak and a reflector of heat. His shadow moved against the canvas and beyond across the snow—a thing of long arms, reaching, weaving, like a monstrous spider busy in its web. • Denny turned quickly and shut the door. Her rude shelter had suddenly become a stronghold, almost a home. She took up the candle and, holding it high in one hand, went over to the bunk and inspected her sleeping arrangements. She was startled by the sound of the door opening behind her. She wheeled to see Stebbins stepping boldly into the cabin. In the candlelight the ear flaps on his cap stood out like the ears of a beast, and his gaunt face wore a goldtoothed smile. “Stebbins!” she spoke sharply. ‘You will please knock before entering!" Her heart was fluttering with alarm, but she held herself very straight and fixed him with a cool stare that tviped the smile from his mouth. “What do you want?” He tugg a 1 his cap off apologetically. “Oh nothing—nothing at all, Mrs. Bourne. I just came to ask if everything is ail right.” He ran his hand through his long, dank hair. Denny’s alarm was now giving way to indignation at the familiarity of the man’s actions. Then she told herself he meant well. He had acted so merely through ignorance. “Everything is very satisfactory, thank you, Stebbins. If I need anything further I shall call you. Good night.” He shuffled his feet but made no move to go. She caught the smell of rum. Suddenly pulling a bottle of rum from his mackinaw pocket, he said, “I figgered, being as we got along so well together today, that you and i me might have a little drink before | we turned in. What do you say?” He held the bottle toward her with a I lip-lifting smile. Outrage, anger, and fear produced in Denny an instant’s panic but she gained control of herself immediately and in a steady voice replied, “I never drink rum,” she said eoldly. “And I’m much too tired to talk any more to-night. We shall be pushing on at daybreak and I must get some sleep.” “Well, now, I’m in no particular jhurry, Mrs. ’ Bourne,” he declared, watching ler covertly. “We can sleep as late as you like in the I morning.” It was the inflection rather than ;

the words that was offensive. Denny stiffened, and bending her stern gaze on the fellow, said, with painstaking distinctness, “Listen, Stebbins. I’m paying you to get ine to Wrangell at the earliest possible moment I’m paying you seven hundred and fifty dollars—the hour we land there. I insist that we get under way at daybreak. Now, good night." “Oh, sure, sure, Mrs. Bourne. I wasn’t meaning no offense.” He hastily thrust the bottle back into his pocket “And I reckon you are pretty tired—not being used to this sort of traveling. Good night" With an awkward gesture of salute, he shambled out of the door and closed it behind him. Denny darted to it and leaned with her back against the rough slabs. She was shaken, yet there was a warm, reassuring glow in her blood. Stebbins, no doubt, had meant only to be friendly ... at any rate, she felt she had nothing to fear from a man whom she could so easily put in his place with a word and a look. She would lock the door now to prevent any more surprise visits and then go to bed. When she turned to do this she discovered, to her dismay, that there was neither lock nor any other means of fastening. Heavy stirrups of wood affixed to the logs on either side of the door indicated that a long bar had at some time been used to secure it on the inside; but she could find no bar. Then she remembered the timber Stebbins had chopped up for firewood. Had he realized what it was when he put the ax to it? She recalled his slanting glance; his hesitation before he demolished it, and her new-found confidence began to ebb. After putting down the candle, she searched among the sticks of firewood until she found one which was long enough to wedge into the stirrup opposite the swinging edge of the door. It projected only about a foot on either side and did not fit any too well; but the slight protection it afforded brought her a partial sense of security, even though she knew a violent shake or two might dislodge it. Her preparations for bed consisted only of removing her moccasins. Fully dressed, she crawled into the sleeping bag and lay listening with painful intensity. In the darkness the cracks in the door slowly took form—long slits of light from the moonlit snow outside. The stillness was profound. Yet a feeling grew upon her that a presence lurked in the silence; a danger crouched in the shadows outside. At last, unable to endure the uncertainty, she got up and peered through a crack in the door. She saw Stebbins, a black silhouette before the campfire. He was sitting on his sled, his head thrown back and a bottle held against his mouth. She crawled back into her sleeping bag keenly alive to the fact that Stebbins drunk might not be as easy to handle as Stebbins sober. Though weary to the point of exhaustion, she must somehow keep awake; keep every sense alert for the slightest sound outside. She never knew just when her tired body overruled her will; but presently her ehin dropped to her ehest and sleep, like a soft, smothering hand, laid hold of her and dragged her down to oblivion. She woke with a start, every hair on her head prickling, and sat rigid in the darkness, listening for some noise that had penetrated her sleep, but had now ceased. There was only stillness and the thumping of her own heart. She had almost convinced herself that she had been dreaming when it came again—a furtive fumbling on the outside of the door. Without knowing how she got there, she found herself standing with her body pressed against the barrier. She could feel it gently springing inward. The stick in the wooden stirrup was moving. She gripped it with both hands to hold it in place and called in a frightened voice, “Stebbins! Is it you?” Complete stillness answered. After a moment the door again began springing inward. Fear invaded her. It couldn’t be Stebbins or he wvuld have spoken.

■ Some mysterious wilderness thing 1 must be trying to get in. She was about to scream to the • trapper for assistance when, > through the openings between the 1 slabs, she caught the reek of rum. 1 She pressed her face to a crack and • saw Stebbins standing outside in the t moonlight, one palm flat against the I door. He gave a slow, cautious push, and paused, inclining his head to 1 listen. Then pushed again. ! In his silence, his horrible, mild > persistency, was a fearsome quality > that froze Denny’s blood. Like one 1 in a nightmare she clung to the ’ wobbling length of wood, keeping it , locked in its stirrup. “This isn’t 1 real,” she thought. “This can’t be real.” I Suddenly all movement ceased. 1 Snow crumbled under shifting feet, s But before Denny could catch her • breath,ethe door shook to a sudden 1 terrific impact. She smothered a : scream and her heart nearly choked : her with its beating, as she realized I that Stebbins’ patience had vanished i and he was hurling his body against 1 the barrier. The stick and hinges ■ held, but in the ensuing stillness she heard a loosened screw drop with a 1 soft plop to the earthen floor. That tiny sound in the darkness ■ told her that any moment now the 1 man's battering shoulder might ’ burst the door from its fastenings; but with the courage of despair she prepared to fight to the end to keep it upright between herself and the drunken creature rapidly rousing to madness. The next blow harried the breath from her body. The wood in her hand squirmed like a live thing. The top hinge fell. She tried desperately to stiffen her knees and keep herself braced firmly against the weakening barrier, but such a wave of terror and hopelessness swept her that her body was no longer responsive to her will. Despite her struggles, she sagged, half-swooning, against the - door just as Stebbins hurled himself upon it for the third time. Wood splintered. Hinges flew, j The wooden bar leaped clear of its 1 stirrup. The door had broken free! 1 This time the terrified scream that rose in her throat went echoing through the vastness of the Stikine night. Then the darkness began to rock and swell and whirl about her and with her mind gone blank she sank in a sea of horror. Denny was not aware that she had screamed, nor that the name she called was “Reval.” After what seemed an age of oblivion, but was in reality only a few seconds, she came back to a realization that she was still backed against the door and that the door ! had stopped moving. Outside, si- I lence had fallen, —a silence so complete that it held the ominous quality of suspended action. Wondering wildly what new, fearsome thing Stebbins could be planning, she twisted about and peered through the widest crack. She saw him in the moonlight, half-turned, half-crouched, staring rigidly at something invisible to her, his fingers warily feeling for the belt ax and the revolver he had left beside his campfire. Finding himself without His weapons, he began to ease backward, one hand fumbling along the front wall of the cabin; his gaze still held by something—Denny could hear it now—something that was advancing with a faint, measured crunching across the snow. She turned her face, shifting her field of vision toward the side'of the eabin; and her breath caught in her throat. A huge, wolflike beast, doubled by its shadows, was creeping forward, chest lowered to the snow, head outthrust, phosporescent eyes fixed on Stebbins. As the animal drew nearer, she could see the ivory fangs bared by the back-turned lip; the bristling ruff, oddly banded—she started incredulously—banded by a collar studded with brass ornaments! “Tongass!” she gasped, in amazed recognition. Simultaneously, Stebbins' harsh voice rang out with sudden confidence, “Come on, you devil 1 I’m ready for you now!” (To be continued) c«prrl<h< 6. wlllnitMr by King Fmigfm Svndica’e Tn*
