Lax- ,ry Keith, an outfitter for big game hunters, loved the place and had 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 np, she divorced hint and remar ried. Aboard Captain Revelry Bourne's Stikint Mid enroots to Tarnigan, Denny meets a varied lot of individuals enroute to River House for . the , hunting . season. Among them are Dr. Pool Van Cleve, who is suffering from a nerv ous breakdown; Rio Carew, wealthy divorcee; Derek Haskell, Larry's half-breed guide, with whom Rio is enamoured, and Harp MacFarlane, foreman of River House. Harp had spoken about the treachery of the Stikine, praising' Bourne's skill as a navigator, saying he was swift to see' and lightning to act, Shortly after passing the Canadian border, the laud tics op on the bank tor the night, All on board go ashore 'to . dance. ! From her stateroom door, Denny overhears Bourne talking with Jack Page, owner of the Tain Wind, -anchored a short distance away. Page had broken an agree ment,, between his ' father and Bourne's to stay away from the Stikine River as - there was only business . enough for one boat ' Bourne offers to boy Page out or gamble for the rights on the river, but Page refuses. "It s war then?' asks Bourne. "Business that's all,1 ' Page replies. Denny was expecting aome excitement, hut Bourne placed his hand on Page's shoulder, saying, Let her ride as she looks, Come along and join our party." Denny felt contempt for Bourne for submitting to Page and indig nation against the latter. Site went ashore so intent on the situation that she did not see Van Cleve and collided with him. Without a word he gathers her in his arms, kisses - her and stalks off. : Denny is out- i raged but calms down shortly, a' ! tributing his strange behavior to his illness. At the party. Page im mediately attaches r himself to Denny and he too kisses her. She is furious. Shortly after. Bourne approaches Denny and speaks to her for the first time. When she chides him for his apparent neglect, he responds that he was aware of her every moment but was busy studying the river. To her ironical question, "Did yea acquire any new ideas from your study?" he an swers, "X merely confirmed what previous observations have indi cated that unless a man's dealing with obvious shallows, . he never can tell from a smooth surface . what he may find ia the depths.1 ' ;' CHAPTER X V "Depths? s- Aquequs or femi nine?' Denny asked.! Bourne laughed. "Fm going to like you," he said irrelevantly. "But to ' get back to your question I'd say women and rivers are alike in their uncertainty. Which is, of course; the secret ox tbeir fascination." - "What a time you must have de voted to each to speak with such authority,. Captain I" "Not necessarily. The mere pass ' ing of time brings a certain nega tive wisdom," he continued, in his mood of gentle raillery. "Now, if you had asked me about either , women or rivers when I was say twenty, I'd have been positive in my conclusions. I knew practically veryimng a. inat age." ' "Indeed 7" -"Oh, yes, Indeed! i At that time I had divided women and rivers each Into two or three categories. I knew, of course, how to handle them alL . But now,' with thirty behind me, well" he lifted his brows and made gesture with his hands to indicate abysmal ignorance. Then he grinned at her in a way that made fun of himself and of all serious subjects under the sun.

"Boom's surpassing him self and for your benefit. Hiss Keith. He learned that waits from our latest phonograph record.1 He held out his arms. Denny, going into them, experi enced a sensation of surrender. To her surprise this lounging riverman was astonishingly light on his feet. They danced together, with that buoyant ease which darkness lends to activities out of doors. The Incongruity of sensuous, so phisticated waits music breathing through the wilderness dark added a peculiar poignancy to her moccasin-footed lightness. As all sense of reality gave way before the magic of the night, she knew an exquisite emotion of wood land happiness; a clean, faunlike kinship with Nature and with the blond man who held her so deftly, so impersonally in, his firm arms. She closed her eyes and gave herself up wholly to his guidance. But as they danced on silently among the dim trees, there came to her an awareness of the man's physical, proximity, and of the strange pagan touch in him, and the lean,. muscular grace of his body moving with hers. It was a sensa tion, new to her and, after a while, disturbing. 1,1 . .. She opened her eyes to find that he had led her across the 'grove al most to the outer curve of the starlit river, gleaming indistinctly between th cottonwoods . ahead. As they reached the bank the music ceased and he let his arms drop from her. They stood slightly apart, regarding each other a slim, dark girl in yel low; a tall, blond man in a soft- collared ahlrt and white trousers. He said casually. "I knew you'd dance like this when I watched you this azternoon walking the deck. You're rather wonderful, Denise Kelt: Denny was sot auite pleased bv the almost paternal ease with which he addressed her: but she answered ti&rv "You. too. are far from ggainly. Captain Revelry ourm "You know. I've been hearine about you practically all my life, irom your rather. Let's sit down here for a few minutes and ret ac quainted." While he was speaking, ne oroke on branches; and spread tnem on the sand at the foot of a tree. "You knew my father well. Can- tain?" - - - "Almost as well as I did my own. And I'm your customer, also. - If you ever want to sell River House and the rest of your legacy. I'd like to take it over. I love the place, coin tor its own sake and because of your father, i But it's only fair to tell you. Miss Keith, that it's to your advantage to keep it It's the best income property in the coun try. When they were both seated he went on, "I wish you had known Larry Keith. He was a prince. He taught me to ride and to shoot When my family lived at Tarnigan before I went off to schoolhe gave me the run of River House, especially the library.- "Library? At River House t" This coincided i with none of the ideas Denny had formed from her mothers descriptions. "Larry was one of the best-read men I've ever known." -Jenny wanted him to tell her more about her father and his Sti kine home but he. like Ham. vHaH further questioning. "I'm soine to let you discover River House for yourseir.- be said. The crowd about the camnfire was quiet now and the only sound was the murmuring of water flowing among the tree roots along the oanic .-: : " The silence was invaded by the liquid notes of Harp's bagpipes flut ing through the trees.

Denny, with out turning her head, watched first with curiosity, then with fascina tion, tne silhouette they made against the glinting of the stream.

And now Revelrv Bourne had. an. parently, forgotten her very pres- -t . . a am . ence. one go. tne oaa idea that he was sinein to the river flowing past, His attitude piqued her. fche was about to say something that would force his attention when the wolf -husky, Tongass, came around from the far side of his master and, placing himself flat be tween Denny and the captain, put his paw on her knee. This voluntary A . . m m a . a gesture oi inenouness on the part of the dog she had seen so terrible in battle, pleased and touched her. She forgot her vexation at his mas ter's detachment and slid her arm over Tongass warm silky neck. Bourne's song ended and again the sounds of the wSderness became audible ... A low. round had come sailing out from be hind the shoulder of a mountain downstream, its growing brightness paiing tne stars and gilding the sweep of the river directly beneath it. She said, "I wonder what men think of on niehts like this, h-ra in your lonely country?" "That depends on the man. Per haps you'd like to hear what your own father thought on a night like uus, jusi aoout a year ago. It was the last time time Larry Keith ever made a trio with me.

For twenty-five years, when ever I've gone up and down the otiiune, rve longed for a night like this with my tent pitched on the bank under a trea anrf ineist- . bed of hemlock boughs where I nugnt lie witn my wife, the woman I love, and look out thmnk et. open end, watching the river flow uuuer uie moon.

Yet, something in Sylvia's daugh terwas capable of sympathizing with the simple, romantic desire that had lived in her Irish father's heart for years. "My wife the woman I love," he had said, after a separation of nearly two decades.
