CHAPTER VII
— 12—
In the gray dawn the canoe nosed
out of the river through the blanket
of mist masking the still surface of
Namegami, the OJibwa's Lake of the
Sturgeon. Here, living largely on
their sturgeon setlines and white-fish
nets, many hunters came with their
families to pass the swift weeks of
summer before they returned to the
far valleys and muskegs of their trap­
ping country. Here, the Pipestone In­
dians had told Jim and Omar. Jingwak
made his home, and from here. In De­
cember and June, he led the Stunters
south to the trade at I.eltlond's.
Before the rising sun cleared the
smoking surface of the lake. Jim and
Omar went ashore und, hiding their
canoe In the brush, ate and slept.
From now on. the prlce*of their safety
would be eternal vigilance. Their es­
cape to the south would mean that
henceforth Paradis would he a wanted
man—an outlaw. For hltn the dog-
teams of the police would comb a
thousand miles of forest. From Ru­
pert House to Fort Severn his ap­
pearance at a post would mean arrest.
The very existence of the North-West
company would hang on their repudia­
tion of his deeds in their behalf. I-e-
Blond might have secretly sent him
to hide on the Sturgeon, but If Stuart
returned south, the master of Bonne
Chance must forever wash hls hands
of Paradis. And this, Paradis, him­
self, only too well knew. So In the
search to learn the fate of old Esau
the men from Sunset House must use
the caution of the hunted creatures
of the forest.
But the lake was a large one. with
many Islands. Other connecting lakes
lay beyond. And Ihe sole means of
learning whether Esau hud avoided
Paradis and reached the Sturgeon was
by talking to the OJibwas who might
have seen or met him. In time some
of these Indians would carry the news
of Jim's presence to Paradis. But It
could not be avoided.
They were
here, now. to save old Esau. If alive,
then. If possible, get out of the coun­
try, The expedition against the sor­
cerer, Jingwak, had come to this— a
bare fight for life. And neither Jim
nor Omar thought they could win.
After dark the peterboro started
down the lake with muffled paddles.
On the shore. In the distance, a fire
twinkled, like a star, for the nights
were growing cool.
“Shall we make a stab and see what
they know?" suggested Jim. “By day­
light Esau would have passed In sight
of this camp.”
“Ah-hah. dese peep' are alone here.
Eet might be long tarn before dey see
oders an’ tell dem about us”
So they landed at the camp. Jim
approached the small fire with the
customary "bo'-Jo's” while Omar
squatted In the gloom at the bow of the
canoe. Hls right hand, which rested
Inside the gunwale, gripped a cocked
rifle.
“Bo'-Jo' I" The old Indian at the
fire rose at Jim’s approach. Stuart's
roving eyes saw that he was alone.
The fire glow fell upon a tipi of cari­
bou hide, the door flops of which were
closed.
The bright, mlnk-like eyes of the
old hunter measured the tall figure
of the white man from felt hat to
moccasins, but hls weather cured face,
seamed by the years, evidenced
neither excitement nor curiosity as
he said In OJIbwa: “You come far.”
“Yes,” Jim answered In the same
tongue, “we come far to talk with the
people of the Sturgeon country.”
“ What have yon to tell them? That
Jingwak, the shaman, grows fat on
the flour and sugar of the trader,
Paradis?”
Jim searched the shrewd eyes of the
Indian for signs of the derision which
the speech Implied, but found none.
Still, the OJIbwa had used the Identi­
cal words employed by Stuart at the
Pipestone lakes. This was interest­
ing. He would draw the old man out
and learn about Esau. Handing the
OJIbwa a plug of tobacco, he filled hls
own pipe.
“ I have much to tell them,” Jim an­
swered. “It may be that you have
much to toll nw. Are you alone?
Where Is your family?"
The Indian gestured toward the
tlpl. “She is sick.”
"Your wife?" Here was a stroke of I
luck. Stuart carried a small medi­ I
cine case. It might be that the woman
had some slight ailment that he could
aid. He had often dressed wounds
for the Indians and knew the use of
simple medical remedies.
“Yes, she cut her hand and her arm
Is large, with much pain"
“Infected.” thought Jim.
“I f It
hasn’t gone too far I can clean It up.
That means gratitude— the friendship
of these people. They inay be useful.
And there’s no time to waste."
“You have no son to help you on
your trap lines this winter?" Jim
asked.
The old man gnxed grimly Into the
fire as he shook hls head. “I am alone.
I had a son. but he Is a son no more.
He left me to follow the trader Para­
dis. and the long snows I have seen
fall, and melt to swell the rivers, are
many.”
Here was luck! “Omar, come up
here!” Jim called In English to the
sentinel at the canoe.
"Go Into the tlpl and look at the
sick squaw," came the guttural de­
mand from the gloom beyond the fire­
light
The wily half-breed was not to be
drawn Into a possible trap.
With
cocked rifle, he waited for proof of the
OJIhwn's story. Invisible, be com­
manded the tlpl and the fire,
“I have medicine and have cured
many Indians at the I.ake of the Sand
Beaches," Jim said. “Your wife has
poisoned her hand. The poison moves
fast up the arm. It will reach her
neck—then her heart. I f you would
have her live. I must see her at once."
For a space the Indian scrutinized
Jim's frank countenance, lit by the
fire glow. Then he entered the tlpl.
from which directly Issued a muffled
conversation broken by low moans.
That there was no treachery here,
Jim was satisfied.
The Indian emerged from the tent
and said: “She Is very sick. I f the
medicine of Ihe white man will help
her, she Is willing to see him.”
Lighting a torch of rolled birch-
bark, the OJIbwa led the way Into the
tlpl. As Jim followed, a crouched. In­
visible figure held a rifle lined on the
lodge. Omar was taking no chances.
On a pile of skins Jim found a
squaw writhing In pain, the hand, cut
while cleaning fish, was red and
swollen, the inflammation reaching to
the glands of the forearm. And her
head was hot with fever.
As he had guessed. It was a bad
case of Infection, hut there was a
chance of checking It as it had not
progressed to the shoulder. Return­
ing to his canoe, he took hls medicine
case from a hag. and had the old man
heat a kettle of water. Then he said:
“This will give her pain. The wound
is full of pus—of poison. It must be
cleaned out and washed with medicine.
Does she understand It will hurt her?"
The old man smiled grimly. “Has
she not been In pain for two sleeps?
She says the little knife can be no
worse.”
So, In the flickering light of the
blrch-bark, Stuart opened the Inflamed
hand, cleaned out the wound, sterilized
it with bichloride of mercury, and
bound It up, while the drawn, gray
face of the old squaw wet with the
sweat of her agony, held to Its stoic
Immobility.
They went outside to the fire, and
the stiff features of the OJIbwa soft­
ened as he said: “The white man's
medicine is strong. She will be well
again.”
“I do not know," replied Jim, con­
sidering the situation. He might pull
the old woman out of her Infection If
he stayed and dressed the arm. But
that meant the risk of showing them­
selves to camps In the vicinity. And
time was precious If they were to
help Esau. Omar would never agree
to It. But then, there was the brave
old soul In the dpi who had not so
much as whimpered as he opened the
wound, helpless without him. How
could he leave her?
Out of the murk Omar suddenly ap­
peared at the fire.
“This Is Omar, my friend," said Jim,
as the two men exchanged •‘bo'-Jo's"
and the customnry handshakes. "You
have not told me your name.”
The old man's seamed face expand­
ed In a chuckle. “My name Is Jlnaw.”
It was OJIbwa for rattlesnake, and

To some It may seem foolish for

recording the pecularltlee of speech
of an aged Indian who recalls a lan­
guage which will vanish completely

guage Is completely outworn.
