The Captive Bride
j SYNOPSIS I
According tc the terms of her
father's will, Denise Keith, a young
San Francisco socialite, must visit
bis hunting lodge. River House,
oa the Stikine River, in Tarnigan,
Canada before disposing of it Lar
ry Keith, ar outfitter for big game
hunters, loved the place and bad
lived there alone for years because
his selfish, pampered wife, Sylvia,
refused to spend even one month a
year there. When he would not give
it up, she divorced him and remar
ried. Aboard CaptainRevelry
Bourne's Stikine Maid enroute to
Tarnigan, Denny meets a varied lot
of individuals enroute to River
House for the hunting season.
Among them are Dr. Pool Van
Clove, who is suffering from a nerv
ous breakdown ; Rio Carew, weal thy
divorcee; Derek Haskell, Larry's
half-breed guide, with whom Rio is
enamoured, and Harp MacParlane,
foreman of River House. The
beauty of the surrounding country
appeals to Denny and she wonders
why her mother hated it so remem
bering her words: "Tb Stikine
irt m witeb tivet. Dangerous.
Cruel. It pots a spell oa yon. It
won your father from me." Soon
Denny would know for .herself
Harp had spoken about the treach
ery of the Stikine. praising Bourne's
skill as a navigator, saying he waa
swift to see and lightning to act,
Although Harp s praise had preiu
diced Denny against Bourne, there
' was something about the blond cap
tain which attracted her, even
though she preferred dark men like
her fiance, Murray Hart . Denny
bad a glimpse ox Bourne s charac
ter when his dog, Tongass, would
have killed Rio's police dog in a
fight had not Revelry intervened
and knocked his own pet senseless.
plot every man has the courage to
be a brute to the thing he loves,
Harp remarked to Denny.
j CHAPTER VII
Later, when the West was bril
liant with sunset, the Maid crossed
the boundary between Alaska and
Canada. ' ;
When the lonely yellow Custom
house flying- the Union Jack came
into view, some one commented,
"We more from the Land of the
Eagle
into the Land of the Maple
Leaf.l
Denny, watching with the eyes of
the South the eyes of another ha
tion, said to herself, "The country
. of my father; the flag of my father."
. Dusk deepened. Poplars turned
to black-velvet vagueness on the
banks! between which the river
flowed like glinting ink.
The pilothouse ' was dark, but
Denny could make out the dim figure
of Captain Bourne at the wheel.

heard that word applied to the Sti

Northerners loved the river. From
the galley now came the voices of
Ted and Boom and Harp, singing
a river song. The chorded harmony
of the chorus drifted out on the
dusk.

She had retorted that he might go
but he need never come back to her
until he was ready to live perma
nently in California.
Denny knew now that these must
have been foolish words spoken in
the heat of anger, with no intention
of fulfillment; but when Keith
failed to come home that winter,
Sylvia, in a high-handed effort to
bring him to his senses, as she put
it, had promptly divorced him. The
move failed. After six months'
silence on both sides, she had mar
ried easy-going Paul Loftus.
As long as Larry Keith lived, he
forwarded a monthly sum to Den
ny; a sum which Sylvia regarded
as pin money for her own use. , Dur-
Murray was eager that Denny should know his Bohemian friends . . .
and so she met Madonna one night at a sculptor's studio.
ing the first years he had also sent
packages of raw furs to his daueh
ter ermine, beaver, silver fox and
white. Sylvia had these fashioned
into magnificent wraps for herself,
excepting only the beaver, which
she left for Denny's little coats be
cause she fancied the fur was un
becoming to her. . ' .
But there was one gift which Syl
via could not use. It had arrived on
Denny's tenth birthday a small,
fringed and beaded buckskin suit,
snow-white and soft as velvet "A
barbarous outfit l"-: was Sylvia's
laughing comment Up in her room
Denny had tried it on.' The tang

and the dark-haired, green-eyed

gravely back at bar smoothing down
the jacket with both hands.
; In the pocket she had found a
snapshot of a tall, bareheaded man
in riding breeches and flannel shirt
He stood beside a horse that was
drinking from a river shallow. One
arm was opflung in a hailing Res
tore; the wind was blowing his thick
hair back from his laughing face;
and there were poplars in the back
ground. 5
Denny, whose ideas of her father
had already been molded by Sylvia's
careless remarks, studied the pic
ture in pleased surprise. Here was
no uncouth trapper. He looked like
a polo player. "And he's young I

she felt the allure and vitality of
that pictured face. It was almost
as if he were calling, beckoning to
her. And she knew that must be

during all those years he had waited
for word from Sylvia. And how,
when she had at last called to him,
it had kept him from answering by
taking him to itself forever.
She went swiftly over the events
that had led up to the tragedy of
his drowning six weeks ago.
A year ago Denny had met Mur
ray Hart, dark, good-looking, two
years her senior, and the most care
lessly delightful companion any girl
could wish. Murray was the matri
monial catch of her particular set
If at times he drank too much,
there were many in Denny's young
crowd who did likewise, and Murray
was always affable in his cups. He
was a driver of swift, foreign-made
cars, a seeker for all that was new
and lively; and Denny, thanks to
Sylvia's training, was always ready
for any diversion he proposed.
: Murray fancied himself in the
role of patron of the arts. Not that
he cared a hoot for art, but he did
enjoy the whole-hearted way in
which the younger intelligentsia of
San Francisco abandoned them
selves to. pleasure when they did
plsy; and the originality they
brought to their gaiety. He was
eager that Denny should know his
bohemian friends.
' Chief among' these was Madonna
Baggs. . . .., r , ,.
Murray was no end amused by
Madonna, who was several years
his senior. "RVia'a th darafeat

at the studio of a aenlntor on Tl,
graph Hill. The evening was mem
orable, not because of the meeting,
but because she and Murray had
left the studio to join their own
crowd at a yacht-club dance, and
there they had realized that they
were in love with each other.
