CHAPTER VIII.
Renunoiation.
T was on the girl's fifteenth birth
day. They bad come np to the top
of the ridge on which be bad
fouKbt the mlMtlonary, to gather
red sprlirs of the bskneesn for the fes
tival that they were to have In the
cabin that nliibt High up on the face
of a Jawed rock Jan saw a bit of the
crimson vine thrusting' Itself out Into
the sun. and, with Melius laughing
and enconraiHiig him from below, be
climbed up until be bad secured It
lie tossed It down to ber.
"It's the last one." abe cried, seeing
his disadvantage, "and I'm going borne.
You can't catch me."
Jan slackened bla steps. It waa a
Joy to see Mellsse springing from rock
to rock and darting across the tbtn
openings close ahead of blm. ber hair
loosening and sweeping out In the sua.

ness of the pale sun shadows that ran
up and down the mountain.
lie would not bave overtaken ber of
bis own choosing, but at the foot of
the ridge Mellsse gave up. Never bad
be seen ber so beautiful, still daring
blm wltb her laugh, quivering and
panting, flinging bark ber bnlr. Half
reaching out bis anna, he cried:
"Mellsse. you are beautiful yon are
almost a woman! If you did your hair
np like the picture we have In the
books you would be a woman," be an
swered softly. "You are more beauti
ful than the plot n rear
"Ton say tbnt I am pretty and that
I am almost a woman." abe pouted.
"and yet" She sbrugged her shoul
ders at him In mock disdain. "Jan
Thorean. this Is the third time In the
last week that yon hare not played
the game right 1 won't play wltb
you any more"
In a flash be was nt her side, her
fare between his two hands, and.
bending down, be kissed her upon ths
mnntu.
"There." she said aa be released her.
"Isn't that the way we bave played it
tver since I can remember? Whenever
you catch me you may have that"
I am afraid, Mellase." be said se
riously. "You are growing so tall and
to pretty that 1 am afraid."
Afraid: My brother afraid to klsa
me! And what will you do when 1
get to be a woman, Jan, which will be
very soon, you say 5"
"1 don't kuow, Mellsse."
She turned ber back to him and
flung out ber balr, and Jan. who had
done this same thing for ber a hun
dred tlmea before, divided tbe silken
mass Into three strands aud plaited
them Into a braid.
I don't believe that you care for me
aa much as you used to, Jan. 1 wish
were a woman, so that I might
know If you are going to forget me
eutlrely."
Her shoulders trembled, and when
be bud tlulsbed his task he found that
she waa Inugulug and that her eyes
were swimming with a new mischief
which she was trying to bide from
him. In that laugh there was some
thing which was not like Mellsse.
Slight as tbe change was he noticed It;
but Instead of displeasing him, It set
a vague sensatlou of pleasure trilling
like a new aong within him.
When they reached tbe post Mellsse
went to the cabin wltb her bakoeesb
and Jan to the company's store, where
be met Jean de Gravois.
"Blessed saints, man, but Is she not
growing more beautiful every day I"
said Jean.
"Yes," said Jan. "She will soon be a
woman."
"A woman!" shouted Jean, who, not
having bis caribou whip, jumped up
and down to emphasise his words.
"She will soon be a woman, did you
sny, Jan Thoreau? And If she is not a
woman at thirty with two children
God fend others like them! when will
she be, I ask your
"1 meant Mellsse," laughed Jan.
"And I meant lowaka," said Jean.
Be bopped out like a cricket overbur
dened with life, calling loudly to bis
wife, who came to meet him, and say
ing to Jan:
"Hurry to the cabin, Jan, and see
what sort of n birthday gift Mellsse
bus got for you." iv ,'

'The big room wss empty when Jan

Ue stopped to listen and caught
faint laugh from tbe other room and
then another, and to give warning of
bis presence he coughed loudly snd
scraped chair along the floor. A mo
ment's silence followed. The farther
door opened a little, and then It opened
wide, and Mellsse came out

Yon are prettier than I bave ever

"If I am prettier and you like me

She finished Wltb a sweet, upturned
pouting of ber mouth, and with a and

his arms and kissed the lips she beld
op to blm. It waa but an Instant and

bis brown cheeks.
My dear brother!" she laughed at
blm, gathering up tbe bakneesb oo tbe
table. "I love to have you kiss me,

Father kisses me every morning when
he voes to the store. I remember when
yon used to kiss me every time you
came borne, but now you forget to do
it at all. Do brothers love tbelr sisters
less as they grow older?"
"Sometimes they love the sister less
and the other girl more. Mellsse," came
quick voice from the door, and Jean
de Gravois bounded In like a playful
cat scraping and bowing before Jie-
llsse until bla bend nearly touched the
floor. "Lovely . sulnts, Jan Tboreau,
but she a a woman. Just as my Iowa'
ka told me!"
"You're terribly In love. Jean." cried
Mellsse, laughing until her eyes were
wet; "just like some of the teople In
the books which Jan and I read."
"And I always shall be. my dear."
Mellsse flung tbe red shawl over her
bead, stilt laughing.
"1 will go to see .her, Jeon."
"Well," said Grnvols, looking search
Ingly at Jan when she hnd.left "shall
I give yon my best wishes, Jan Too

"Slgnlfy-what?"
The little Frenchman's eyes snapped.
"Why, when our pretty Cree maiden
becomes engaged she puts up her hair
for the first time; that la all, my dear
Jan."
He stopped suddenly, startled Into
silence by the strange look that bad
come Into tbe other's face. For a full
minute Jan stood as If the power of
movement bad gone from him.
"No: It means nothing." he said
Anally, speaking as If the words were
forced from him one by one. lie drop
ped into a chuir beside tbe table like
one whose senses hud been dulled by
an unexpected blow.
"Jan Thoreau." whispered Jean soft
ly, "have you forgotten that It was I
who killed the mlssloner for you. snd
that through all of these years Jean
de Gin vols hits never questioned you
about the light on. the mountain top?
Is there anything Jean de Gravois
can do?"
He sat down opposite Jan. bis thin,
eager fare propped in bis bands, and
watched silently until the other lifted
bis head.' Their eyes met, steady, mi

"I understand." replied Jean In low
voice. "I understand and I praise tbe
Mnwed Virgin that It waa Jean de
ilravols who killed tbe nihwlouer out
upon ihe he of Ijic Bain!"
"Hut tbe other." persisted Jan, "the
other, which says that 1"
"Stop!" cried Jean sharply. He ram
around tbe table and seized Jan's
hands In tbe Iron grip of his III be,
brown fingers. "That Is something for
you to forget It means nothing noth
ing at all. Jan Tboreau! Does any one
know but you and me?"
"No one. I Intended that some day
Mellsse and her father should know,
but I waited too long. I waited nntll I
was afraid, nntll tbe horror of telling
ber frightened me. I made myself fur

"And today in this cabin yon will

you. and It Is tbe first time that Jesn
