But the vole, which bad defiled th« night was bushed. From th« clearing cum« th« whimpering of awed huskies, th« wolf chullengc smothered In liirlr throats. Among th« dim shat»«» of th* Indian shack» beyond th« trsdehouse not a light flickered. They w«r« as the houses of th« deatl. Th« post people lay In their blankets, stiff with fear I.Ike a shroud, panic had fallen on Wailing River. Throwing on his’clothe«, the man swung from the window and dropped to the gruss below. The house, also, was dark -St. Onge doubtless drugged with cognac, but «he? Did she lie numb with fright, or was she gallant ly struggling with the mystery? As he approached Michel's dark shack. Steele was puzzled Had the Iroquois and David also weakened? But two silent aha|»es, carrying some thing in their bands, met hfm at the door. “You heard It. MichelT" demanded Steele searching the swart face of the half breed, as they left th« shack, for truces of excitement. The features of Michel were set like stone aa he said: “De Windigo get de fur cano'; now he get de pos'." "What d'you meanY* «nick fy, de manded Steele, fearing that the Indian tn the head man bad at last tri umphed over his Intelligence—that he. too. had succumbed to th« general terror. “Michel mean." ««plained David, "that d« Indian will leave de pos" after tonight." The white man waa relieved. These two. at least, had not been stampeded by the nameleaa thing on the ridge. And then, as they reached th« shore. It began again. From the crest of th« rldg« ram« an unspeakable mewing, now strange ly rat Ilk«, now unearthly; followed by the moaning of s mangled thing In torture. It reused The white man heard the rough breathing of the men beside him Slowly the dick of steel on steel marked th« cocking of two rifle* Then upon the heavy silence bmk« the prolonged walling of an Ojlbway woman for her dead. Rigid, th« three men listened The walling cllmaied In maniacal shriek* Again the night was soundless. Turning to Steele. Michel muttered' “Tete-Boule ecu right; dat res veC tad t ing to hear." "What la It. DavIdY' Steele demand ed of bls hard beaded friend. "Eef David waa on dat ridge, he tell you," waa the dry response “There’s nothing on four feet In this country that could do that There may be something In this Windigo story, after all. la It beast, bird, or devil. Michelr “Ket may be erase« wolverine; eet may I* dwell: net may be Windigo— but eet feenlah dees pos* all de same" Aa th« half breed sadly shook hla head, the caterwauling began anew. With heads thrust forward the three men on tbe ahore strove to pierce Its mystery. Hut this time, ss the vole* rose to s cilmss. flam« shot from '.he muzzles of two rifles and tbe shrieks were smothered In th« report of the guns echoing from tbe rldg«. Again silence blanketed the valley. Thus did David and Michel fling back their challenge of lead to the ¡•owera of darkness which menaced th* fur fort. "Th« Wiqdigo knows now that ■ there's some fighting blood left tn Wailing Rlv«r," chuckled steel«. <ah«n he heard approaching foot Stupa.

"Who ran sayT" replied the French- ( man, with a sb nig "It may be some crazed beast... wolverine or lyni or Iwar And then." he looked hard Into Steele's eyes. “It may be—ths Win ill go.“ At th« words, David, who had heen i listening, turned to Michel tn surprise. | Hut the face of the head man was wooden The «»Jib way's narrow eyes shifted to those of Steele, and for a ! space white man and red held each ! other's gate. Was the Frenchman, after all. au- \ perstltlous? Steele wondered. Had his : tirrv« softened. after what he bad now i heard with bls own ears; or waa be I playing a game! .ncl St onge," said th« kmerl I can after a space, "this thing has got I to be followed up—run down— ■ tebed !

As Steel« again strelched himself on hla cot. he wondered If there would be sleep that night for the girt down stairs- what thoughts were hers as she lay facing th« problem of tier future; a problem of which the sole solution seemed st that moment to rest with Monsieur la»«elle» at Fort Albany. ««««««« There waa no one In the living room when Steele entered early the follow ing morning, hut from tbe direction of the kitchen came the sound of women's voices. He waa examining the shelves of French and English classics when he heard th« light footfall of motca- Uns behind him.

The fine eyes of th« girl wer« heavy with shadows, but to bls relief, wer« not unfriendly. She has not slept, thought Steele The Windigo has gut her. too. "Good morning, mademoiselle I We turned In a voice without «pint. and there waa no Ilf« In the ctdorles« fac« as ah« went on: "Yea. w« ar« still here, as you say ; but after last night I trust you realize what my father faces In this terrible valley." “It la moat mysterious,** lie said, "but you must not allow It to get your nerve. You ar« an educated woman, mademoiselle; you must bold your mental grip. Nerve-racking? Of course It Is. hut there la a solution—mad wolf or wolverine probably." Aa he epok«. he strove to pierce the reserve of her dark eyes to th« thoughts they masked. "But It waa hoeribl«- ghastly !" ahe replied, "la It to be wondered at that the Indians are In a panic -and these poor women whose husbands were with the fur can»»«; they are Imltecllea from terror I found them thia morning In a cabin, too frightened to cook tl>« breakfast of the children." "So you cooked It for them," he has nrded with a smile. Surely, Ma demol selle St. Onge had not lost her nerve, if ahe could think of th« children." Tb« girl flushed. "One could not have them suffer, monsieur." Then with a flash of white teeth, went on. "But we all feel better, now that tbe sun Is out." "Has your father told you that I am staying here, with hla permission, to follow up thia Windigo?" She glanced up In surprise. For an instant her eyes fell, the dark brows ■ ontrsctlng In thought; then she met hla quiaalcal look. "You ar« going—to fight—the Win digo?

"W« shall have a week, mademoi selle. hefor« David and Michel re turn. to make our plans." added Steele In del'etiae of hla host; but throughout the simple breakfast of I trout, toast and cuffv«, hla active brain was busy with the strange at- | tltude of St onge and Its cause At the trade house the factor an<1 hla guest learned from the still shaky 1'ete Houle that Michel ami Dasld had packed a canoe and provisions Over the |M»rtage at daylight.

Through the following day* wbllo he Impatiently waited f<»r the return of I hold. Steel« occupied hla time with the study of two Interesting sub- )r«’t» - Tele Boul« and llenlse St. Onge. And he found In rarh much to stimulate hla curiosity. The In dian. one« a twist of nigger head to bacco and th« gift of a sklnulng knife bad established friendly relation* waa led to repeat the talcs of hug« tracks In th» mnak«g and night wail ing which he had brought to the post ■luring th« summer To Hti-ele, familiar with shamanism and th» peartie« of sorcery among the ojihways and freea, thia Mjuat red man. with his high cheek ^»oaea and cloaeaet eye«, waa something of a puzzle. Steel« aoon learned that Tete Boul*— who owed his name to the likeness of hla broad face to th« TetwdeBoul« I'reea wns (HMiaesseti of mor« than ordinary Intelllgrnr» "Tete Boule" demanded Steel« In one <>f their conversation« on th« river sh»>r«. “why ahould thia Windigo wish to harm thia poet; the people, hers, ha»« never done him an injury?" Th« mluk-llke eye« of th« Indian widened with fear at the mention of the dread name, which waa taboo. “Dia ees bee« count re« l»>ng tam ago. tie cum here on dis rivlar«." th« Indian muttered, evidently III at ease. "Waa It th« Windigo who drowned the men with th« fur cano«?“ Fur a spar« th« Ojlbway smoked In silence, then s|»at far Into tb« wa ter hefor« h« answered. "Da ersw or de fur-cano' not drown'—eat up!” And he opened hla wide mouth and anapped hie Jaw* '“Will he com« again by night to th« post here?" Th« Indian slowly nodded. Further than repeating to Steele ' that In August he had aeen hug« tracks In th« muskeg and heard cries at night similar to those which had wakened th« post. TeteBoul« could not be led to talk. But what Inter- , rated the American especially was to 1 hear, later, from Denis« Kt. < >nge, | that th« «quat post hunter was be wailing with the already stampeded 1 Indians the fat« which mrnar«<l them. | "Thia Tete Boule ought to b« «op pressed." he suggested to St. Ong* "Your daughter telle me that he keep« tbe Indiana In a ferment with hla wild tales of demons and Windigo«*" "I've told him to atop It.
