Dennjr accepts old McQuestion’s offer to pilot his boat "The Astrid** to Ft Benton. CHAPTER FIVE FROM his agreement to.*t a k e McQuestion’s packet up the river, the conversation concerned ttMlf mostly with business, leaving Rawls opportunity for only aii oc:asional word with Astrid. Indeed, while McQuestion talked to him, Whirter talked to her, so that much of the time she seemed to forget Denny’s existence. Rawls was conscipus of a growing feeling of jealousy and dislike for tiisi fel-iow-captain. Didn’t Whirter know that they were engaged, ali|nost their first time together since then, In fact? Astrid, atleast, should remember. In the back of his mindj he mulled over what he knew concerning Mark Whirter. It was a name famous on the tower river, as Denny's was on the upper Missouri. Whirter was known, as “Lucky Mark." He was supposed to be a captain in the Army of the United States, but tonight he was not in uniform. During the course of the meal, Whirter dropped a remark that seemed to explain his present stat* us. Apparently he was serving as some Sort of special agent for| the All that Rawls wanted of Whirter was less of him. But he was given no chance to see j Astrid alone. Though making 'no direct promise, she hinted that tomorrow might be different 1 ■ Hiding his disappointment, Rawls accompanied, the McQuestipns to their carriage. It was still raining, a blustering wind making the night doubly disagreeable. As soon as the carriage was out of. sight Whirter said a curt goodbye,and disappeared. He had ,taken only a few Steps when Taber and Sherwood accosted him. Whirter was In no pleasant mood. He purveyed them caustically. | ' "Well, what do you want nojw?" he demanded. I I ' \ ' Wow about our pay?" Sherwood asked. "We was to be paid—”l “If you made a fool out of him!" Whirter snapped. “But it was the other way around. He made fools of the pair of you. Go to the devil!" (“But we got a pair of headaches—" . "Serves you right! Too bad he didn’t crack your thick skulls for you. I don’t pay for bungling."

She smiled and shook her head reprovingly at Narcissus, who, black face abeam, was bringing a tastefully arranged tray to her bedside. **What’s the t meaning of this, Narcissus?" she demanded, "Breakfast in bed!
