AThe Captive Bride
SYNOPSIS
Denis Keith, lovely San Fran
cisco socialite, is enrontt ' to
Tarnigan, Canada, aboard Revelry
Bourno'a Stikiae - Maid to spend
a hunting season at her late father's
lodge, ."River House." There was
a proviso in Larry Keith's will that
his daughter must do this before
selling the property. Eighteen
years ago, when Denny was only
six. her selfish mother. Sylvia, had
divorced Larry because he would!
not sell his hunters outfitting bus
iness on the Stikine River and live
In San Francisco. Although Sylvia
remarried, Larry never stopped
loving ber. Among the passengers
aboard the Mud are Rio Carewe,
wealthy divorcee; Derek Haskell,
Larry's college-bred, half-breed
guide, with whom Rio is enam
oured; Dr. Pool Van Cleve, a sur
geon suffering from a nervous
breakdown and very bitter towards
all women; and Harp MacFarlane,
Larry's ' veteran foreman. Just
across the Canadian border, the
boat anchors for the night and
everyone goes ashore to dance in
' the grove. Alone .with Bourne on
the bank, the romantic surround
ings cast a spell over Denny and
she kisses him, completely forget
ting her fiance, Murray Hart. When
Bourn responds ..she :: becomes
frightened and pulls away. Revelry
apologises but warns: "In this
country no girl dares do what you
did tonight unless- ... Humili
atedj Denny flees to her stateroom,
owing to avoid him, but the next
day . he appears to hava. entirely
forgotten the incident. She decides
to ' adopt the . gam ..attitude, but
. plans to ..retaliate . for, the offense
.'when they reach Tarnigan. ' One
method-, would be to sell . River
House to jack Page, captain of the
' Tain IFini : and Bourne's ' rival.
- Page'- has decided " to disregard a
gentlemen's agreement between his
late father and Bourne's that the
Pares would stay away from the
Stikine as there - was . business
enough for only on outfit The
Jfaid nears the Big Canyon and

to '-watch the boat - go through.

a tobacco offering to the river gods
for h saf passage. Denny is thrill-,
ing to the spectacle of thousands j
of tons of unleashed water, leaping I
over boulder after boulder, when
suddenly someone grabs her arm,'
gasping "What'a that?".
", " . 'CHAPTER XIII ;
' Denny looked, and her , heart
leaped to her throat. "
' Wallowing heavilj down upon
them came the lower section of a
- huge spruce tree with but one long
branch left high on the trunk. It
stood upright, grotesque and human,
as It staggered along the crest of
the rapids, its single mighty arm
beating the air with the aimless vi
eionsness of a drunken, giant. A
blow from the trunk would stave In
the hull; a swipe of the threshing
' arm would rake the wheelhouse
overside. It was headed straight
or the 3itd and there seemed no
room to swing aside
Denny saw Bourne's hand's shift,
. aaw "him strain at the wheel until
tb "muscles sprang out on his
' tweatered shoulders. Yet the Maid
stayed fast in the path ef disaster.
Something was wrong, v . t,

The Indian leaped from the pilot
house r but even as he sped stern
ward Denny knew he must be too
late." -:-;-Jy':z-y: ,
Bourne j erked the bellpull that set
bells clanging in the engine room.
The drone of Diesels ceased with a
suddenness that was like a drop in
. apace. The rush of waters surged
up into the . silence. The Maid
stopped, then began to slip back,
stern first, down the Canyon. -.
The lurching tree trunk pursued
her, gaining inch by inch, until the
long branch was flaying the air
above the bow.
Denny dragged her terrified gate
back to the man who stood at the
useless wheel. His hand waa on the
bellpull, conveying orders to his en
gineer. Gongs beat out a brazen de
mand foi hast. The advancing
branch was but twenty feet ia front
ef the pilothouse when the Maid
shivered b the shock of her port en-

eine roaring into "full ahead" while
its mate coughed into "reverse." The
boat's bow began to swing. Another
gong sent both engines full ahead
and by a margin of inches the
windows cleared the lashing, arm
that trailed its tip along the sun
"All clear the rudder, sir I" Shan's
voice came from aft' Denny realized
vaguely, wonderingly, that by the
skillful manipulation of his engines
alone, the Maxd't master had swung
his rudderless ship and saved it
from disaster.
The Maid forged on, guided by the
firm hands and split-second deci
sions of the man at the wheel. Denny
watched him swaying there. She
felt a deep admiration for him ; for
his coolness, for the perfect coordi
nation of eye, hand, and brain that
enabled him to cope successfully
Denny saw Bourne straining at the
- rodder jammed and the
with the eyer-changiny hazards of
the canyon. For the first time in her
life she had a fleeting; consciousness
of that conquering bit of God which
dwells in the soul of man that sab
lime, audacious spark which gives
him dominion over the mindless im
mensities of Nature.
When she looked ahead again,
waterfall, perhaps three feet high,
seemed to bar the channel from wall
to wall Smooth as glass it rounded
down to the Canyon floor She felt
the Maid eer leap forward and
could hare almost sworn that Bourne
had sent it climbing , to the upper
level. Then she discovered that the
high walls no longer hemmed them
in. The Maid had in reality slid off
to one side, made a half-circle round
the fall, and was now in the eddy
above it .: '",
"We're through!" cried Miss
Hale, with a shaky laugh.
Bourne was patting the wheel of
the Maid, "Good work, baby!" he
said to it, before turning it over to
Shan. -
"Well, well, we made It again!"
he exclaimed exuberantly, grinning
at the girls. "Ladies, at a moment
like this, I'm as clay in the hands of
the potter. Ask me anything, and I
cant refuse yool" ;
-"111 take yon np on that, Cap
tain," drawled Rio, "Make it cham
pagne when we get to Tarnigan."
"Okay," Bourne agreed shortly.
Then he turned to Denny. She was
looking np at him with eyes that
were fun of radiant, green light.
"And you?" said his eloquent
glance and silent tongue. "Is there
nothing I can do for yout" But be
fore he could voice the question,
Harp thrust hi head in at the door.
"Holy Andrew, skipper 1" he cried.
"That maneuver with the tree was
the prettiest piec of river work I
ever aawj"

He's a wonder. I'm going to hop
down to the engine room to give him
a cheer. You take the girls in to my

Denny followed her companions
into the captain's quarters and
glanced curiously about. He had
done himself rather well, for a
Northerner, she thought. Hangings
and thick rugs in smoky green; here
and there touches of wood brown,
orange, a trace of black. Two soft
club chairs. The berth, into which
Rio sank immediately, was made up
like a couch, with cushions in vary
ing shades of green, brown, and
burnt orange. The lower half of the
walls was lined with books.
Denny picked up a tiny shagreen
case with a gold sphinx-head clasp.
wheel of the Stikine Maid when the
boat seemed doomed. . . . -.
"What
asked.'
"Give it a look," suggested Harp.
"The skipper won't mind. Prince
As Is, or As Wuz, or some such
Egyptian name, slipped it to him a
couple of years ago when ha was
hunting up here." - f -
"An Egyptian prince? Up here??
exclaimed Denny in surprise. I ,
"Sure I We get hunters from all'
over the world, Miss Denise." -.
Denny opened the case and an
exquisite pair of dice rolled into her
palm cubes of "moonlight", jade
with rubies for spots. i . !
4 She stood gazing at them, think
ing of last night in the grove, when
Bourne had said to Page, "How
about a little game to settle this
my right against what yon claim is
yours on the Stikine?? 1 ,
Aloud she said, "I can't under
stand how men have the nerve to
stake ao much on the throw of these
little cubes. Has- Captain Page, by
any chance, this same gambling
Wood?"
Harp answered with evident re
luctance, "Well yes and no. He'a
erasy to play ; give him the edge and
hell stick till the cows come home.
But he's what we call a winning
gambler." .
- Denny, unaware that a "winning
gambler" waa one who t couldnt
"stick" to play out a losing hand,
was turning over in her mind what
she knew of Revelry Bourn and
Jack Page. Both gamblers and
master white-water navigators.
Their coming contest on the Stikine
promised to be a gam worth watch
ing. She felt a faint regret that ah
would not be here to witness it; and
at the same time, a thrill that earn
from knowing aha controlled what
would prove to be an ace in the game
they were to play. , -.... i

NEW YORK, July J7-()-With
the exception of merchandising

little more than drift In today's
market.
The news was as mixed as prices
and most traders were content to
retain their seats In neutral
ground. - -
A restraining influence was seen
in a new outbreak of violence In
the Republic Steel strike and in a
more serious turn of affairs, in the
Sino-Japanese war flare-up.
Inside Hstlessne8s also, brokers
said, was the desire of speculative
forces to await results of the U.S.
steel directors' meeting after the
close.
"Big steel's" directors conform

the regular 1.75 payment and
