'JTIKUE came an interruption. It
wan the snapping of a dry stick.
Through the forest Pierrot had come
with the stealth of a cat. and when
they looked up he stood at the edge
of the open. Itaree knew that it was
not Hush McTaggart. Rut it was a
man-beast! Instantly his body stif
fened under the Willow's hand. He
drew back slowly and cautiously from
her lap. and as Pierrot advanced.
HarM snarled. The next instant Xe
peese had risen and had run to Pier
rot. The look in her father's face
alarmed her.
;"What has happened, inon pere?"
she cried.
Pierrot shrugged his shoulders.
''Nothing, ma Nepeese except that
you have roused a thousand devils
in the heart of the Factor from Lac
Ha in, and that '
He stopped as he saw Raree, and
pointed to him.
"Last night when M'sieti the Fac
tor caught him in a snare, he bit
M'sieu's hand. M'sieu's hand is swol
len twice its sixe, and I can nee his
blood turning black. It is pechipoo.-
"Peehipoo!" gasped Xepeese.
She looked Into Pierrot's eyes.
They were dark, and filled with a
sinister gleam a flash of exultation.

"Yes. it In the blofHl-noison." said'"1 IMn 'n the tree-top the Inst of!
Pierrot. A gleam of cunning shot
into his eyes as he looked over his
shoulder, and nodded. "I have bid
den the medicine and told him there
J is no time to lose in getting back
to I.ac Main. And he is afraid that
devil! He is waiting. With that
blackened hand, he is afraid to start
back alone and so 1 go with him.
And listen, ma Xeneese. We will
be away by sundown, and there is
something you must know before 1
go."
itaree saw them there, close to-
I gether in the shadows thrown by the
mil sprue trees, lie beard the low
J murmur of their voices chiefly of
j Pierrot's, and at last he saw Xe
peese put her two arms up around
i the man-beaxt's neck, and then Pier-
rot went away again into the forest, i
ror a long time after Pierrot left

me ay rnai rouseil ner from the fear
of the things Pierrot had told her.
W hen the looked up, black clouds i
were massing slowly oTer the open
space above the spruce-top. 1 ark
ness was falling. In the whiper of
the -Aiml and the dead stillness of
the thickening gloom there was the
sullen brewini of storm.
Xepeee shivered and rose to her
feet. For the first time Haree got '
up. anil he stood close at her side.
Above them a lightning-flash cut the
ciouds like a knife of fire, followed
in an instant by a terrific crash of
thunder. Haree shrank back as if
strurk a blow. He would have slunk
into the eheltrr of the bruh wall of
the wigwam. b'it there w a something
about the Willow as he looked at her
whirh gave him confidence The
thunder crashed again. Hut h re
treated no farther. His eyes were
fixed on epeee.
On that night, it may be. the Spir
it of Storm was born in Xepeese.
She loved to face it. as he was fac
ing it now. It made ber forget all
thing but the -apfendtd m ht of na
ture; her half-wild soul thrilled to the
erah and fire of it; often she bad
res. -bed up ber bare arm and laughed

nt tbe lightning-fluNliPs. Cndi-r her
hand Xepeese felt the stiffening of
his body, and in a moment of un
canny Ktillncnn she heard the sharp,
uneasy click of bis teeth. Then the
rain fell.
It was not like other rains Rnree
had known. It was an inundation
sweeping down out of the blackness
of the skies. Within five minute
the interior of the balsam shelter was
a (thower-bath half an hour of that
torrential downpour, and Xepeese was
soaked to the skin. "The water ran in
little rirulcts down her back and
bn-axt: It trickled in tiny streams!
from her drein-hd-braids and drop-1
ped from her Ihng lashen, and the I
blanket under her was wet as a
mop. To Knree it was almost as bad!
as his near-drowning in the NtreHm'

and he anursled closer and oU.
under the sheltering arm of the Wil
low. It seemed an intrrminable time
before tbe thunder rolled far to tfte
east, and the lightning died away into
distant ami intermittent flashings

other hour. Then it mopped as sud

we must have a fire!"
A fire! Any one but Pierrot might
have said that she was craxy. Not a
stem or twig in the forest that was
not dripping! They could hear tbe
trickle of running water all about
