As he met I»rnlae at the door of
the factor's quarters. Nteele said
quietly; ’T.eCa not talk of tha bear
trail tonight, mademolaelle." And tha
grateful look she gave him was ample
reward for his tact.
“As 1 feared, monsieur, the men
found nothing down river,“ said 8!
Onge as they sat down to the simple
meal.
Not knowing whether Michel had as
yet confided In the factor. Steele
didn't mention the strange trail.
“It la certainly a pnisle. Colonel."
“Tea. a riddle which will be solved
In only one way, monsieur—by time.
Nome day when we have left the
Walling Illver we tuay hear of the
fate of my men.'*
“Then you have no faith In the
Windigo theory of their disappear
anceF Steele tvotdiy challenged, with
a curl of the lip.
The tired eyes of Nt. Onge twinkled.
“No far as our Indiana are concerned,
monsieur, the Windigo will drive us
out of the valley. Hut I am not pre­
pared to say that the Windigo have
my fur."
Hrent Steele was narrowly on the
point of demanding that hla host put
his cards on the table face up. Nt.
Onge's failure to take his guest hilly
Into hla confidence was Irritating to a
degree.
As he ate In silence, the
American promised himself that there
should shortly t*e a showing of hands
or be would go south at once. Then
the brooding eyes of f ten Ise Nt. Onge
met bls and ho realised what it would
mean to leave Walling Itlver io Its
fate—what memories he should tears
behind when be started south for the
N epl goo.
That evening, three men, heads to­
gether, smoked on the beach. Slowly
■nd In detail Michel and I>avid told
Steele of their search and discovery
of the strange footprints.
“What were they like, Michel F
"Dey were long lak* de bear, but

“Queer t'lng de bear w'at mak* de

“Just like tha ones I'll show you In
the
morning!"
exclaimed
Steele.
“And you found no trail of the men
with the canoe?”
“No sign but 'round do camp—no
trail In muskeg."
“Well. Michel, what do you think?
Could the brute that made the track
you saw, howl like the one on the
ridge here?"
The Iroquois' small eyes narrowed
to silts lie puffed hard for a space
before answering. “De howl on de
ridge was no bear— bear on lee yell
w'rn he get hurt. Michel not know
w'at howl on dr ridge but ha On' out
before de long snow melt."
“What do you think made the trail,
David F Steele grinned Into the set
face of hla friend.
I »avid shook his head “1 nevalre see
So t-rrg bear track ”
Then Steele told of his search of
ths ridge for signs of the night waller,
and of the tracks be had seen that
afternoon
Hut ewdgui their brains as
they would, the three men were at a
total Ions for a solution of the riddle
jf their origin.
The night shut down but the three
men on the river shore still sat smok­
ing. hard at their council of war. In
the middle of a sentence, David sud­
denly stopps-l. raising bls bead as
though listening.
Then, silently ria-
Ing. he plunged Into a dump of alders
close by! A low curse--the sound of
a scuffle.

! grated Nteele. and they crept for­
ward.
Within a hundred yards they made
out a small, round skin tipi from
which the sing song emanated
"Naske »»tu. Windigo!" moaned
the voice Inside. “Ahuah I shush !"
"He tell de Wlndlg*» to go away,"
whl«perr*l David to Nteele.
Then Michel woruied his way to
some small balsam near the tent, i
while the others watched.
Presently a low mewing from the
Iroquota stopped short the nailing In
the tent. Then from the balsam rose
the caterwauling of a lym in the mat
Ing season.
The drumming started furiously, ar
rompanled by voclfrrtms shouting. The
•cream of the lyns rose to a maniacal
shriek.
The drumming cease*I. and
the maudlin cries of ■ creature

eutly the flap was thrust aside, and
■ grey faced Indian scrambled out and
fled like a deer tn the direction of
the post, leaving behind him a white
man and an Ojibway doubled with
laughter, and beside them. Ids face
set like st<>ue. a tall half-breed deep
In thought.
"Why did you do that Michel? He
will only make things worse at the
post.'*
"I try eef he scare ov do Windigo,
beeeeif.”
"Well, are you aatlsfled?"
"Yee
Eet era ver’ at range he ees
so scare " And the bead man shook
his head doubtfully. "He talk to de
Windigo, an' w'en he cum, he run." i
Back at the |>*>st Nteele related to
Nt <>ngr the events of the morning
"Thia Tete-Boule. Colonel. Is only a
source of trouble here He Is tilling
the minds of the Indians with thr .
Windigo, and then make« medicine to
drive him away, doubtless for a coo- -
■I deration."
Nt Onge shrugged with Indifference j
“Il will uot matter. I am «xpertlng ■ ,
packet from Albany any day ordering
me to abandon the post.“
Nteele stare<| at his host In surprise j
Where was the old fighting blood In
this veteran? What hidden cause had
paralysed his nerve? And Ids love
for bis daughter- that at least should
drive him to fight through to the bit­
ter end.
They were on the river shore and
• lone, so Nteele grasped the opportuni
ty for which he had walled. The mat­
ter between them had to be cleared up
If he were to give hla beet efforts and |
those of David In the days to come I
"Colonel Nt. Onge." he began. “I am ;
deeply interested In your situation '
here.
I have offered the services of '
I»avld and myself. In an attempt to 1
eld yon In your trouble : but ! must :
■ay, candidly, that you are not meet- !

take me Into your confidence, I shall
be compelled to thank you for your
hospitality and bld you gix^lby. deep- !
ly as I shall regret It."
Nt. Onge listened patiently, as the
■peaker thought,hopelessly, to the
ultimatum.
“I.et us sit down end talk It over
monsieur." be replied.
The two men moved to a rock an*,
lights«! their ftlpes.
"Monsieur Nteele." began Nt. Onge. .
"I am In a net from which I see no
escape. You camo here a stranger,
claiming to be a scientist. Interrated j
In the study of Indian customs and
folk lore. That Is all I knew about |
■ will tear de devil out ov your front.“
And with a wrench he sent Trie Houle
■prowling on the beach
••(¡tn-»s he won't eaveudrop again In
a hurry 1“ laughed Nteele. as the
cowed Indian dUxppeared In the
shadows
But
Michel
seemed so
strangely silent that the American
asked :

"What’s the matter. Ml* bet, *l*>n't

Th« Iroquois made no reply.
"Wake up. Michel, and tell us what

"dal de long snows will he red In dees
valley."
“What, you don't think that fool
Tote lloule will make trouble?**
“Tetr Houle ees no fool.“ He would
say no more.
The house was silent when Nteele.

thoughts were busy with the hours

with memories of her flushed response

clear the situation which her father
seemingly feared to reveal to Nteele.

they would take up that trail and fol­
low It, but when they lost It In the
dry going, what nest? Well, they had

If he refused, there was
nothing to do but get on to Nrplgon.

At daylight three men were bending
over tracks which ran through a wet

Michel took up the trail forward
while l>avld end Nteele followed It
back only to lose It shortly In the
dry birch leaves.
On their return
they found Michel waiting.
“She d*»n' run far." he announced
“1 don' followed ret far in de dry

Then the three made a wide circle,
but failed to pick up the elusive
tracks
iMsappolnted. they were re­
turning to the post by another route
than the trail to the ridge overlook­
ing the “Vale of Tempe," when Michel,
who was leading suddenly stopped In
his tracks, raising bls hand In warn­
ing.
Stiff as the spruce around them,
the three stood listening. Faiatly to
their straining ears came a low chant­
ing. accompanied by the rhythmic
twating of what sounded like a drum
Nteele turned a questioning face to
David, who grinned broadly, nodding
his bead In time to the far drum beats
