Steele sensed s swift change In Denise St. Onge His curious ryes caught a faint color In the girl’s tem ples as she avoided his glance. In a moment she had control of herself bat he wondered If this then was the cause of her heartache. "My position Is most difficult, you tee." continued 8t. Onge. "Ijtllsmine controls the upper country with hi; whisky.

Monrieur. our people are panic- stricken." 8L tinge gravely shook his head. “ And now. as you say In Kng- llsh. the climax Is capped." Steele leaned toward his host, keen ly curious of what was coming, as St. Onge finished dramatically: “ Our fur canoe, which left here early In July, with four men, neTer reached—Albany!" “ Never reached— Albany?" repeated the astonished listener. "They sent you word, by canoe?" "Yes. they sent a relief party op- river to find my men who were long overdue. They feared they had lost their boat In the Albany rapids and were following the shore." "And this search party found noth ing T' “ Nothing!" St. Onge lifted shoul ders and hands In eloquent gestnre. "Men, fur, canoe; gone, wiped out, swallowed up!" “ But there must have been some thing washed up alongshore." vehe mently protested Steele, “ the shell o f the canoe— small stuff— and a paddle alwa ys comes ashore.” “ Nothing!", repeated the factor. “ They searched the A lt any and then the lower Walling, for they had to pole and track most o f the w-ay as you know. Above the Devil's mile they found the first camp of our peo ple. but below, not a body, or paddle, or scrap of canoe— nothing!" T o Steele this was Incredible— this mysterious tragedy of the fur canoe. He wished he had known whnt had happened on the Wailing but a* few weeks before, when he and David fought day by day Its stiff current on the way to the post. " It’s simply unbelievable, colonel." he vigorously objected. “ A swamped canoe, broken up In a big rapid. Is bound to throw something on the heach below. W e notlo-d nothing, but we were not on (he lookout." That there was more to this story Steele was convinced; hut »h a t per sonal bearing could it have on Denise St. Onge? “ Yet those are the facts, monsieur, and our people are mad with fear. Thank H eaven! Michel had a bad ankle and wns not with the boat. He telle the Indians that the canoe and bodies are held In the big eddy, but I doubt It." Steele stared at the factor, unable lo accept Ihe sole Inference to be drawn from his host's remark. St. Onge was surely facetious. “That leaves us Ihe Windlgo the ory, colonel," he laughed, but to his surprise his pleasantry was met by so grave a face lhat for an Instant Steele was In doubt of Die menial butanes of the Frenchman, harassed by Ihe mis fortunes of Ihe summer. The dark eyes of Denise St. Onge. fixed on the window, were cryptic. Then the fac tor smiled Inscrutably as he said: “ Monsieur, I am a furtrader on a rlrer believed to be haunted. It would t e a policy most ruinous for me to ad mit a belief In the supernatural— lb this Indian tradition. Is It not so? Rut," and the speaker glanced at Ills daughter, "as well believe It the Windlgo; whnt other solution Is left? Men and canoe dlsapiiear -lik e th at!" and he snapped Ills fingers. It was d ear that St. Onge was dis sembling— for some reason he a n loath to give his guest the whole stsry. But why? What was there In this tragedy of fear and death lhat a stranger should not know? Why, since St. Or.ge had so frankly revealed tbe " T o « r r t at J , * T r a i l " " T h e V, h « lix o f the W o l f " (C o »rrisk ! fey Ih* Pana P«t>1l*blng C * ) (W- N. U. Service. 1 crisis be fa ceil at Walling River—tbe threatened loss of the trade and abandonment of tbe post, due to the superstition of Ihe Indians—did he withhold his own solution of the rid dle? Certain!; there was more, much more. In this strange situation which Steele had accidentally stumbled upon, than the lo »« of the far canoe. The furtive glances of father and daugh ter at Steele's reference lo Lsnamme, the free-trader: her evident embar rassment at Ihe mention of lascelles. Inspector at Albany; and shove all, her mood o f despair at the rapids, voiced so poignantly by h r violin; these could hear no relation to Ihe tragedy of the fur canoe— lo the panic of (be Indians at Ihe Ill-starred post. "\Vere your men trust worthy?" be suddenly asked. "Absolutely. They could not de sert and hope to dispose o f Ihe fur. We and (be Hudson’s Bay people have an agreement. On the Albany at that time they would surely havs run Into the Fort Hope York boats and the Martin's Falls and Henley House brigades. Besides, tws of them left young wives here." “ Still, I’m sure Michel Is wrong about Ihe eddy," ventured 9teele, hoping to draw out tbe factor. "The Big I ’ellcan whirlpool, below Lac Seal. Ihe worst I've ever seen, always throws out the stuff sucked Into It In the coarse o f s few hours." SL Onge lifted his heavy eyebrows In a nod of assent. "Oh. Mlehel Is In doubt about It also, but ilutl is what he tells the Indians. A man of parts Is Michel, monsieur. He Is more than my right hand here." “ Yes, he looks like a good man. Did yoa notice David, colonel?" Steele's face lighted as he mentioned his swarthy comrade. "H e seemed most Intelligent," re plied St. Onge, “ and looks as If he could pack four hundred over a port age. If he wished. "H e can. colonel." Then Steele gam bled with bis host s curiosity. “ What worries me la how to keep him from wringing Laflamme's neck when we reach < igoke— and. aside from getting supplies, we wish lo stop at Ogoke. Colonel SL Onge." The factor was palpably interested. HU narrowed eyes seemed to search those o f his guest In au endeavor to read his thoughts. Then, leaning for ward, elbows on table, be asked tensely: “ Why?” " I am sorry, but that U David's se c re t" “ Oh, I see! It Is right, then, that yon do not tell. But I » a s curious, monsieur, for today when lie reached here, he asked at once how ra&iiy days’ travel It was to Ogoke lake." That St. Onge should be vitally In terested In the man, who, by the use o f whisky, was winning Ihe fur trade o f the whole headwater country of the Wailing, was natural, but the observ ant Steele sensed more to the story than mere trade rivalry. In the atti tude o f the factor. However, he dropped the subject and returned to the lost canoe. "It’s by far the strangest case I have heard of— four men In a loaded canoe, wiped out without leaving a scrap of blrchbark or a silver of spruce as a clue, and a wonderful opportunity for the study o f this Windlgo superstition at drat hand." "Eighteen thousand dollars In fur!" sighed the factor, whose face was drawn and old. as they left the table. CHAPTER II "W ill you come with me to the trade-house, monsieur? For a time my daughter will be busy with the dishes. Then we shall have some music, De nise?” " I f you wish," and addressing Steele she added suggestively: “ It will be gay music tonight, monsieur, I prom ise you— Ih honor o f your arrival at the 'Uouse o f the Windlgo.’ " "But I like your sad music, made- molselle," he said, “ and I am clever at washing dishes. If I could be of service." There was challenge In her black eyes as she countered: “ Ah. monsieur, but you are more clever. I fear, at con cealing your thoughts." As he walked with the factor to the trade-house he wondered precisely to what she had alluded. St. Onge was writing a lengthy re port o f the situation at Wailing River to his chief at Albany, three hundred miles downstream, so Steele joined David sml Michel seated beside the post canoes on the heac.i, smoking af ter-supper pipes. In front o f the In dian shacks, a group of shawled wom en talked In hushed voices. Near them, three men, squatted on their heels, Indian fashion, conversed, heads to gether. No shrill shouts broke the quiet. Even the play o f the dusky children seemed suppressed. Truly, thought Steele. St. Onge had not ex- ... aggerated. The air hung heavy with f fear. nar T h e I m l u n it unru Its in o The Indians were In a a m panic. Dread o f the fabled Windlgo had wrought Its spell. At this rale It would not be long before the foxes would bark In the clearing of the abandoned post—before padded feet would roam at will In what wns now a home. And the girl up there— «b a t would become o f her? "W ell, David, has Michel (old yon o f Ihe fur canoe?” demanded Steele. Dai Id’s broad face w rinkled In a grin. Taking his pipe from his mouth, he spat deliberately before he an swered with another question. "H ow long we stop here?" “ I don't know. Why?" Steele was Interested. “ Win). Michel an’ Daveed lak to drop down to de beeg strong water. We strike back In seven-eight sleep, may be.” "W hat’s your Idea? It's not Just to make a mg her search on a mere chance of finding something. There's something else cooking under that black hat o f yours." But David was noncommittal. "W e Ink a look at de las' camp fur canoe made, an' shore below, for little piece." Steele was secretly delighted at the excuse this expedition of David's wonld give him for prolonging Indefi nitely his stay at Wailing River. As a student of Indian mythology and worship o f the supernatural, the prob ing o f this mystery— the study o f Its effect on the post Indians— demanded his best efforts. It was s rare oppor tunity for an ethnologist, a student of folklore, to gather data at first hand. But over and beyond that was tbe rid dle o f this girl whose hands of an ar tist were now busy with the dishes up there In the factor's house. "But what do yon expect to find. Mlcbel? There have been two canoes over the ground. The Windlgo have swallowed canoe, fur and men." The small eyes o f the Indian snapped. “ Daveed and Michel nevalre see M’sleu Windlgo. We lak to hav" look at heern. Tete-Boule," with a ges tnre toward the three men grouped In front of the shacks, "he hear Windlgo one. two, many tam. He fin' track een muskeg—veri beeg. Bnt he hav’ rear to tak Michel to de track. Maybe down nn de beeg rapids, Daveed an' Michel shake han’ wld de Windlgo. Maybe we fin’ he Is hongree— den we feed heem— some lead.’ And the smile faded, while the swart features of tbe Indian set stiff with hate. “ Ah. h a !" thought Steele. “Theee two old foxes have got something In their heads." But knowing his people, he did not press them for sn explanation. I-ater, alone with David, he would be told. So he filled his pipe and sat down. “ Michel," he asked, "why did the RevUlon Frerea build this place at the head o f these rapids instead of up at Ogoke lake where they could buck La- flamme. face to face, for the trade of the whole country?" For a space Michel smoked. Ignor ing the question; then he grunted through the stem o f his pipe; "You see M'sieu *.a scelles at Al- banee?" “ No. I stopped with the Hudson'* Bay people. Why?" “ Wal, eef you see M’slen Lascelles maybe you know why,” was the reply. “ Where were you before you came here?" asked Steele. “ A t Albanee." "You know him, then. But he can’t be a good fur man to build here— In the bad-lands, at these Spirit rapids o f the Ojlbways.” “ De man who build dees pos' die. Me'sleu Lascelles ees no fo o l; he not keep eet for fur—he keep eet— for 'noder reason.” A fter which startling statement Michel became a sphinx to Steele's further questioning. More than ever mystified by what he had heard, he left the men on the river shore, and rejoined his host. In the warm candle light of the fac tor's quarters Steele soon lost himself In the playing o f I*enlse 8t. Onge. There was no trace of the troubled eyes, o f the reserve of the girl who had sat mute through the evening meal, listening to the talk of the men. In the gay creature who now conjured with her violin mail dances of the Pol ish and Hungarian peasants, love songs o f Italy, French and German opera. Here was rare temperament, technique, training— all wasted In this wilderness. It was monstrous—Inex plicable ! What could have brought them here?” “ It Is superb, mademoiselle—your playing." he cried Impulsively, "you j have appeared professionally, of j course. In France?"
