CHAPTER III—Continued Two day» later, with Smoke running the shore, Jim and Omar were poling the peter boro np a wild reach of the swift Woman river, Jim's thoughts alternated between the coming year which would decide his future with the company, and the two women, far apart as the poles in nature and tem perament, who had come into his life. As for Aurore LeBlond, she would soon be but a memory. In a month she was going ••out"— back to Winnipeg. There was no chance of even seeing her again, as he was to start with Omar and Esau at once for the Pipe stone country. The canoe was entering a stretch of ••strong water" demanding the utmost efforts of the crew to force her up stream when, suddenly, a rifle ex ploded In the willows of the near shore and a ballet splintered the spruce pole in Omar's hands. Off balance, the bowman lunged into the river, but twisted as he fell and caught and hong to the gunwale of the boat while Jim threw his weight against the roll of the swinging craft. •"Lie down ! Let her dreef!” called the half-breed as a rifle again cracked In the willows and a splinter from the gunwale flicked Jim's desperate face with blood. Flattening ont tn the canoe, he groped for his gun lying amidships as tha drag of the man in the water headed the bow down river. Again a rifle exploded and a ballet passed through the wooden wall of the craft close to Jim's bead. What could it mean? Who would ambush them here on the Woman river? As the boat drifted out of easy range of the willows, Jim reached and cocked his gnn, rose boldly to his knees and rapidly emptied the maga zine at the telltale wisp of smoke against the green of the scrub. Then over the bow rose a dripping face warped with rage aa the thick arms of Omar lifted hia body from the water. With a lunge the half-hreed was in the rolling canoe and hia rifle firing at the fast receding shore. 8hortly a bend masked the willows from the sight of the dancing craft and the men swung the canoe in to the beach. “Well, what's this m eant’ demanded Jim. •Taradees, for sure!" snapped the bowman as they landed. “Come on, we hunt for dem 1” And Omar plunged ahead Into the bush. They had traveled less than a hun dred yards when a fam iliar yelp, from somewhere upstream, sounded above the fret of the river. “Smoke! He'll find their t r a il!” muttered Jim. Then fear for the safety of the dog he loved led him to push rapidly on up the river shore while Omar cut back Inland behind the scene of the ambush. Suddenly, deep in the forest, a rifle was fired and Jim's heart sank, as he heard the husky’s yelp. “He's shot Smoke!” Furious with the thought of his gal lant dog gasping ont his life from a bullet wound, Jim plunged ahead in the direction of the rifle shot Shortly he saw a dark patch through the spruce and threw hit rifle to his shoul der. As he lined his sights, the dark face of Omar appeared, head tilted as I f listening. Jim reached hia friend’s side. “Did you Are that shot? Where's Smoke?” he demanded. “I thought he was hurt." “I shoot at dat feller I Smoke’s after him now—In dose cedar. It eea so t'ick you see nodi ng.” “You saw him?" “Ah hah!” Separating, the two men started circling the dense cedar growth. Jim had not traveled a hundred yards when he heard Smoke's roar, followed by a shot, then the sounds of a strug gle. I ’lnnging through the thick un dergrowth, mad with anxiety for the safety of his dog, he saw a running figure turn and swing with clubbed rifle at the black-and-white bulk of the pursuing Smoke. With a muffled roar the hurt dog again lunged at the Indian ; again the clubbed rifle crashed as the husky leaped. Knocked back to his haunches, with a shake of the head the great dog closed with the Indian, who was desperately trying to load as he ran. The tusks of Smoke ■napped aa hia one hundred and forty pounds bore his quarry to the earth. Throwing himself on the enraged dog, Jim balked the lunge which would have torn the throat of the help less man on the ground, then dragged the battle-mad Smoko from hia prey. “Throw that knife away or I’ll let him have you!” Jim commanded, hold ing the straining husky as the Ojibwa. rolling away from the snapping fangs, reached for the sheath on his sash. “Now lie where you are! I f that shot hit him. I ’ll put him on you. anyway," But there was no sign of blood on Smoke's trembling body. Then Omar, drawn by the shot, reached them. “Ah-hah! So Paradees sen’ you? Wal, I t'lnk we camp here tonight W ile you tell w'at you know 'bout M'slen* Paradees, ah-hab!” W ith the Indian walking ahead. prodded by Omar's gun. they returned to the canoe and made camp. Supper over, Omar began the Inqui sition of the sullen Ojibwa who had remained dumb to all attempts to make him talk. Lighting his pipe, the half-breed freshened the Ore, then squatted beside the prisoner, whose feet were pinioned with raw hide, and said quietly In O jibwa: “You have woman and children?” The mink-like eyes of the Indian shot a furtive glance at the lined visage of the man who squinted into the tire. Jim watched with curiosity the drama the wily Omar was staging. Then he mumbled a faint, “Enhenh! yes.” “I f you wish to see the Lake of the Sand Beaches again, you speak with a single tongue," went on the in quisitor in Ojibwa, as if talking to himself, his eyes still fixed on the fire. “Y’ou lie to me, now !" Omar sud denly stormed, turning a face distort ed with passion on hia man. as his Iron fingers gripped the Indian's throat, “and I'll feed your heart to the ravens!” The cowed prisoner flinched from the steel point of Omar's knife which pricked hia chest “You speak with a split tongue an? the wolves w ill pick your bones!" Omar’s left hand closed on the In dian’s throat till the terror-haunted eyes of the gasping man protruded from his gray face. Then the half- breed abruptly released him, replaced his skinning knife In its sheath, and resumed his silent contemplation of the fire. Fascinated by the drama, Jim watched the two across the fire from behind a screen of tobacco smoke. “You lak’ to gee de sun rise once more?” The stiff lips of Omar scarce ly moved as he rasped out the ques tion In English. But the prisoner was silent Again the Impassive Omar, gazing into the burning birch, was trans formed Into a fury as he suddenly tamed with a snarl on the Ojibwa. “What did Paradees pay you?" Flinching from the knotted visage of hia tormentor, the prisoner never theless stoically held his silence. After a period of motionless con templation of the fire, the half-breed rose and. taking his ax, stripped a neighboring spruce sapling of its branches. Then be gathered an arm ful of dry aprnce sticks and birchbark and dropped the kindling at the foot of the tree. Jim glanced at the OJlbwa. Horror filled the Indian's eyes aa he watched the deliberate preparations for the last act of the drama. Going to his pack, Omar produced some rawhide thonga, then picking np the visibly shaking prisoner as If he were a child, carried him to the spruce and, binding his arms, lashed him to the tree, and calmly pushed the spruce kindlings aronnd his feet. But gray as waa the face of Omar's victim, on which stood out great beads of sweat, his stiff lips emitted no sound as hia hopeless eyes watched “Poor Richard" would find his the half-breed lift a red coal between words, evpn In these talkative times, two birch sticks and calmly approach In good standing for dally use and the tree. counsel.
