"What d'you mean by spoiling a
nice afternoon nap, you old—say,
who tore your shirt?" demanded
Malone. "Where'd you pick up all
that dirt on that handsome face of
yours? What you been trying to do
while we were asleep?"
Blaise gazed benignly down on his
startled friends.
"You wake up
quick w'en you hear.”
Flame was nuzzling at Garry’s
neck when the blinking eyes of the
latter suddenly widened. "What in

You're cut and what’s that damned
smell on you? I've got it! Beaver
castor! Red, smell of that dog! He’s
smeared with it! And what happened
to his head, Blaise? He’s been struck
with a club." Solicitously Garry ex
amined the scratch of the knife and
the swollen head of his dog.
When Blaise had told his story of
the missing dog, the log dead fall set
in the clearing and the fight, the
three friends ate and prepared to
leave the island in the early dusK.
There was no doubt that their camp
had been discovered.

"We put cano’ in and have a

At their camp they found Moise I

story. Then the Peterboro, followed
by the birchbark, passed through a
patch of moonlit water before en

the bow Finlay pointed to something
floating ahead of them. "What’s l

The canoe slid up to the drifting I

"They'll be moving soon, if they're
over there,” Finlay whispered.
Suddenly the dog stiffened, the
hair along his neck and back lifting
as he sniffed. Finlay’s hands closed
on Flame’s nose and throat. "Wind
something? Steady, boy!”
Then from the murk drifted a
faint sound like a splash of water.
"Ah, I hear it! They're coming!”
muttered Finlay.
Again Finlay strained his ears,
with caught breath, for a repetition
of the sound. At last he heard
what resembled the wash of rip
ples; as if something was swimming
slowly across the strait. What could
that mean? He cut the gag and
lease and the airedale tore through
the alders up the shore.
"It must be a swimming otter or
beaver he’s winded,” muttered the
surprised Finlay. "He'd roar at a
canoe.”
Shortly from the gloom rose
snarls, the thrashing of creatures
battling in the water, then muffled
gurgles. Rigid, Finlay listened,
praying for the dog he loved.
"Flame!" groaned the man on the
shore. "What’s happened to you,
boy? Wbat did you meet out there?”
Had he lost his dog? Had Flame
gone out there in the blackness to
his death? It was no canoe. But
what was it? Garry waited in sus
pense, ears still straining. Then
something moved swiftly through

CHAPTER XVI
The police party were hidden near
the head of the lake waiting for the
return of Moise with news from his
father. The following night, in the
round of the moon, it had been ru
mored through the fishing camps
that the spirit voices would speak to
the Montagnais. During the day ca
noes had passed within a half mile
of the camp. It was evident that
Tete-Blanche had guessed that the
men he sought were at the head of
the lake und that his scouts were
hunting the shores for them. "Moise
should be showing up if we're going
to move to that hide-out tonight,"
■aid Finlay.
"Moise will follow de dark of de
shore," grunted Blaise. "De moon is
so bright it bodder him. Dey got
plenty men w itchin'."
"We'll need those shore shadows,
too, Garry," said Red. "When the
moon slides toward those ridges it'll
be safer traveling."
"Look!” muttered Blaise, point
ing.
Hardly a mile distant the black
shape of a birchbark cut across the
shimmering ribbon of light banding
the lake.
"There’s another!"
exclaimed
Red. "And another!"
"What do you make of it, Blaise?"
asked Finlay. "Think they’ve got a
hunch that we’re in these islands?"
Brassaid scratched his iron chin.
"Hard to tell!"
"This island's not a hundred yards
long." said Red. "If they land here
we’ve got a tough fight on our hands.
It'll be a case of wolf cat wolf ”
"That’s die trouble," regretted
Finlay. "We want no trouble to
night. It'll kill Wabistan's plans—
spoil the whole show."
"T'ree cano'l" grunted Blaise.

shook itself and bounded to his side.
"Flame, you old water rat, what
did you strike out there?” Finlay
hugged his dripping dog. "Are you
hurt, boy?"
A rapid search of the dog's head
and shoulders with groping fingers
seemed to reveal no wounds. Garry
threw a loop of a thong around
Flame's jaw and waited with arm
crooked about him.
Presently the silence was split by
a demoniacal wail which lifted like
an eagle's screaming whistle to die
in thin air. The startled Finlay

Shortly the night was tainted by
the bellow of some tortured brute
voicing his agony. It was followed
by mad roars of rage which echoed
back and forth between the forest
walls of the strait.
Holding his struggling dog Finlay
knelt on the shore as the mystery
was solved in his active brain.
Shortly he heard the thud of wood

He released Flame who

It was the first week ot August.
For days the heat, like river mist

windless forests of the Nottaway

Lise.

Lise stiffened in her hammock.
Had Tete-Blanche got them al
ready? "What could he have meant,
Corinne”’ she asked with seeming
artlessness, wondering just how
much the other knew

"I arr, too. Y’ou saw the Indians

"Yes. he's made money Money's
