"And this search party found noth ing r Nt Cinge lifted ehoul- “Nothing " iters and hands In eloquent gesture "Men. fur. canoe; gone, wiped ent. aw si towed up!" “But there must thing washed up el«>ng«hore." vehe mently protected Nteele.

To Nteele this was Incredible—this mysterious tragedy of the fur rwnoe He wished he had hn«wn what had happened on the Walling but a few weeks before, when he and David fought day by day Its stiff current on the way to the poet. “It's simply unbelievable, colonel." he vigorously objected "A swamped can««*, broken up In a hlg rapid. Is bound to throw something on the beach below. We noticed nothing, but we were not on the lookout." That thawe wae more to thia story Nteele waa convinced; tut what per son a I bearing could It have ón I’enlaa Nt. Onge? "Tet those sre the facia. monst.-nr. and our people are mad with fear Thank Heaven I Michel had a had ankle and waa not with the boat, He tells the Indiana that the canoe and bodies are held In the big eddy. bo I doubt It." Nteele stared at the factor, unable to accept the sole Inference to be drawn from his host's remark Nt Onge ran surely facetious. "That leaves us the Windigo the ory. colonel." he laughed, but to hla surprise hla pleasantry waa met by so grave a face that for an Instant Nteele wae In doubt of the mental balance of the Frenchman, harassed by the mis fortunes of the summer. The dark eyes of Denise Nt Onge, filed on th« window, were cryptic. Then the fac tor smiled Inscrutably aa be raid: "Monsieur. 1 am a furtrader on a river iteHeved to be haunted, ft would to a policy moat ruinous for me to ad mit a belief in the «u|wmatur*l-~in is it not so? thie Indian tradition But, and the s|<ea»e« glanced at his daughter, "so. well believe It the Windigo; what other solution Is leit? Men and canoe disappear - like that I" and be «napped bls fingers. It waa dear that Nt. trag* was dis sembllng for some reason be w s 'oath to give his guest the whole story. But why? What waa there la this tragedy of fear and death that a stranger should not know? Why. «taro Nt. trage had so frankly revealed the ■rials lie foc*d at Walling l< I ver—the threaten*- I«»«* of the trade and abandonment of the post, due to the superstition of the Indians—did he withhold his own solution Of the rid die? Certainly there was more, much more. In Ibla strange situation which Nteele had accidentally stumbled upon. than the lo*a of the fur canoe The furtive glan.-ea of fstbrr and de ugh ter at Ntroles reference to Laflamme, the freetrader; her evident embar rassment al the mention of Lascetli-«. Inspector at Albany; and above all. her m«x»d of despair ut the rapid*, voiced so poignantly by her vtolln; these could bear uo relation to the tragedy of the fur canoe- to the panic of the Indians at the 111 starred poet. “Were your mm trustworthy?” he suddenly asked. “Absolutely. They could not de sert and hope to dispose of the fur. We and the Hudson's Bay people have an agreement, lh> the Albany at that time they would surely have run Into t he Fort Hope York bouts and the Martin's Falls and Henley House brigade* Betides, two of them left young wives liere " "Nt 111, I'm sure »II rhe I la wrong ah« ut the eddy," ventured Nt eeie. hoping to draw mt the fartor. The Illg 1‘ellcen whirlpool, below Lac Neul. the worst I've ever seen, always throws out the stuff sucked into It In the course of a few hour*“ Nt. Onge lifted hla heavy eyebrows In a nod of assent, “Oh. Michel Is in doult about It also, but that la what he tells the Indiana. A man of parta Is Michel, monsieur He la more than my right hand here "Yea. he looks like a good man. IMil you notice I »avid. colonel?" Bteele's face lighted ae he mentioned bls swarthy comrade.

Colonel Nt Onge.“ The factor waa palpably Interested.

I see! It Is right, then, that you do not tell Hut I waa curions monsieur, for today * hen he reached berr, he asked at once how many days' travel It wae to Ogoke lake " That Nt. Onge should be vitally In terested In th« man. who. by the u«e of whisky, was winning the fur trade of the whole headwater country of the Walling, was natural, but the observ ant Steele sensed more to the story than mere trade rivalry. In the atti tude of tha fartor However, be dropped the subject and returned to the loot canoe. "It's by far the strange4 case 1 have heard of- four men tn a loaded canoe, wiped out without leaving a scrap of birchbark or a silver of sprue* ae a clue, and a wonderful opportunity for the study of thia Windigo superstition at first hand.” "Eighteen thousand dollars In fur!" sighed the factor, whose face waa drawn and old aa they left the table. CHAPTER II "Will you come with me tn the trade house. monsieur? For s time my daughter will be busy with the dishes. Then we shall have some music, lio nise’“ "If you wish.“ and addressing Nteele she added suggestively: “It will be gay music tonight, monsieur, 1 prom Ise you—In honor of your arrival at the 'Houae of the Windigo.'
