CHAPTER XXXIV .
Denny hurried down the road to
ward the river level, and made her
way to the farthest cabin, where she
saw Stebbins huskies tethered on
the bank. In answer to her knock
the door was opened by the trap
per's wife.
"I'm Mrs. Bourne," Denny intro
duced herself. "Might I come in
end speak with Mr. Stebbins?-
"What for your wanting him?"
The native eyed her with- sudden
hostility.
Denny drew herself np a little
haughtily. "I have business with
him. I wish to employ him.
Uhl Yon pay?"
"Certainly I shall pay I Now
please let me In." She sent an ap
prehensive glance up the slope to
ward River House, fearing that
Bourne and the Commander might
be in sight.
The woman stepped aside. "Ton
go in. I fetch Stebbins."
When -he arrived he greeted
Denny guardedly.
"I heard you are going down to
Wrangell, Mr. Stebbins," Denny be
gan. "I'd like to take passage with
you.". -
"Since when does Rev Bourne's
wife come to me with the offer of a
Job?" he asked, with an oblique
glance of appraisal. "
"My request is clear enough, I'm
sure. Do you, or dont you wish to
earn a good fee by taking me do n
to the coastr" :T
"I'm no fool, missus." He shuf
fled his feet uneasily. "I know
there's a catch in this somewhere.
Rev Bourne would never throw a
job like this my way."
Denny shrank from taking the
man farther into her confidence, but
she bad no choice in the matter. "It
Is L not Captain Bourne, who en
gage you," she responded coldly.
"And it is I who win pay you when
the trip is over. Captain Bourne
knows nothing about this ; and and
I do not wish him to know. Nor any
ene else: you understand."
"Oh, hoi" The man's pale eyes
narrowed ta a look of cunning com
prehension. "Well, that's a horse
of another color." After a mo
ment's calculation, he went on.
"Sore, 111 take you down. Five
hundred dollars for the trip, and
so questions asked."
"Good. I wish to start at once."
"No, lady. Cant do that. You
aee, I came to town to do a little
celebrating. If you want to ro with
me, youll have to wait until after
Christmas."
Denny hesitated. Her instincts
warned her against having anything
to do with the man. She wasn't
afraid of him her class conscious
ness prevented that but he affected
her unpleasantly. Then she re
minded herself that he waa her only
hope of escape. He would have his
wife with him on the trip, and he
owned the finest team of dogs she
had seen in the country.- What
more could she ask? "AH rhrhL1
she decided TU see too the daw
after Christmas and fix the exact
- date ox departure. And remember.
I'm paying for your silence as well
as for your service."
"Dont worry about that, Mrs.
Bourne. I never blah, even when
I'm drunk. Ton leave ererything
tome. tew are you nxeo xer warm
ciotnesT Got a aleesir barf"
"No. Ton may buy what I need
and m pay you later."
"Suite me. I can get a sleeping
bag at the Hudson's Bay store." He
slouched along by her aide as she
moved toward the door and, with
. unexpected, incongruous courtesy.

were Inside the vestibule, appar
ently inspecting the decorating that

She hastened on up the road, tor
mented by doubt. Had he seen her
coming from Stebbins cabin?
When she reached River House,
she ran into the kitchen and asked
Honey-jo when Bourne , and ' the

Denny went slowly upstairs.
racked by uncertainty.
When she reached her own quar
ters she moved about, trying to se
lect the number of articles she could
take with her in the single bag al-
owed for her trip. But her mental
turmoil brought on a headache. She
finally gave Alderbloom instructions
that she was not to be disturbed on
any account, and then lay down on
the couch in her sitting room. Her
last thought before she fell into a
deep sleep was that she would have
a bona fide excuse for staying home
from the Christmas Eve festival at
the church.
It was dark when she awakened.
The first thing she heard was the
voice of Boney-io coming from
Harp's room across the halL "For
Pete s sake, Harp I Stop fussing
with those whiskers: and hold still
till I get this pillow stuffed in your
front!"
"Doggone my wild nature, I cant!

Boom's got the dog team loaded with
your pack at the kitchen door, all
ready for you to drive down to the
church. Be sure you dont forget
your speech now. . . Come along.
Denny lay, warm and drowsy on
her couch, listening. Thumps, ad
monitions, and recriminations indi
cated the progress of the pair down
the steps. Other sounds, oddly home
like and pleasant, came to her:
Bourne in his room, dressing for the
evening at the church, humming "A
la Claire Fontaine." Alderbloom and
Pineeone la the halL talking and
laughing in low. happy tones. The
pad of Tongasr feet, as ha waited
outside his masters door. ,
la a vague way she was glad that
Bourne was keeping up the tradi
tions established by her father. Tat
all this fuse over the entertainment
of a handful of Indian youngsters
appeared somewhat ch-dish te her.
Why should every one wear that air
of happiness and subdued excite
ment here where it was impossible
to buy a single Christmas present
Even Rio seemed to have forgot

The doctor answered acridly, "I'm
sufficiently bored with my own so
ciety tonight without seeking an as
sociation with even more vacuous
minds."
"Oh. come. Van! The Comman
der's just about hardened his ar
teries getting Us show ready. It
wouldn t be sporting to leave him
playinz only to the raHery. Look
at me I've put on my best evening
gown here's hoping it doesn't oust
out at tha seams before I get back.
Why not doll up a little yourself
and well give the town a treat?
Denny cant come on account of a
headache, so San Francisco wont be
represented. But Philadelphia and
New York in the dress circle will
make up in class for what we lack
in numbers."
Apparently. Van Cleve disdained
an audible answer to this, for Denny
heard Rio go alone downstairs.
Presently Bourne s laugh came up
from below as he marshaled his
household out through the front
door. The cheerful, noisy sounds of
departure died away and the bouse
grew still; so still that Denny could
hear the occasional cracking of frost
in the walls. Loneliness, tinged witb
a sense of grievance, began to in
vade her. Forgetting her own strict
order that she was not to be dis
turbed, she began to think, forlornly,
that no one eared whether she went
to the Christmas tree or not. None
of these people were in sympathy
with her. Least of all. Revelry
Bourne, who had been going about
all day; like a big male Pollyana, she
thought scornfully, making other
people happy. ,
She had been his wife for over two
months and she knew no more about
him now than she did that night she
had met him in the grove by the
river. She was actually better ac
quainted with Van Cleve thanshe
was with her own husband! " .
The realization was a little star
tling. Her mind went back over their
association during the past weeks.
The doctor's helplessness, his silent
-offering, bad brought out in her an
unexpected capacity for personal,
sympathetic service.
Who would take care of him when
she was gone? Tbe thought sad
dened her for a moment Then she
got up from the couch and in shak
ing back her hair, found that he
headache had vanished.
It's Christmas Eve." she re
minded herself. "I suppose I should
dress up a little." She put on her
coral dinner gown. "My wedding
dress!" She made a grimace at the
girl who looked at her from the mir
ror. "What a rosh-awful color te
be married In!"
As she slipped her feet Into her
silver slippers, it occurred te her
that it might be welt, since every
one was out of the house, to go down
to the card room and look over a
map of the SUkina ae that ahe might
have some Idea of the route she waa .
to travel when she set forth with
Stebbins.'
When she was bending over the
map on the card-room table ahe
remembered how. as a little rirL aha
had traced in her school geography
that same wavering Mack Una that
represented her father's river. Tha
thought seemed to bring Larry .
Keith very close te her. She got out
his dividers and parallel rules, and
though she had never before handled
such instruments, began to naake a
miniature map ef the route to take
with heri one which gave tha loca
tion of cabins along the way and tha
distances between them.
As she worked, she marveled that
she should so readily understand
hew to go about this. She tbought,
with prid "Perhaps it's the Keith
spirit in me that knows these
things.1 The fancy pleased her and
gave her confidence that ahe would
prove a good traveler "on the traiL"

Before the corn market flurry

Rye and oats gave way with
