Chapter II
GERMAINE TREMBLAY
THE captain. Captain Ralnville,
bad Introduced her to him the
acond day out. "Mademolsella Oer-
malna Tremblay ' tha captain bad
lingered over the name affectionate'
iy. "You have only to be down here
but a very little while, Mr. Howard,
to know what tha name of Trem
blay meana on the coast."
She bad flushed prettily. "Captain
Ralnville la always Ilka that!" she
bad protested. "Don't you believe a
word be aays. He la a great tease.
But Captain RainTllle, who bad him
aelt been born on the coast and
knew everybody, bad been even con
servative In what be had said.
Those ot the coast who were aboard
tad treated her with the utmost del-
rence; and Colin beard much about
the tame ol the Tremblaya and their
connection with the north shore.
Tbey bad been amongst the earli
est settlers, the first Tremblay com'
lng originally from France. Several
generations. Prospering. Open-hand'
ed. Respected. In short, the story
ot the Tremblaya was the story ot
the north shore and vice versa.
Colin frowned over bis packing.
iHer father was Dr. Louis Tremblay
of Cap a l'Orage, the present head
of the family. He bad married an
English girl. A romance begun In
bis college days In Montreal. But his
wife was now dead. There was only
daughter and a son left. The son,
following In his father's footsteps,
tad graduated In medicine in Mont-
real, and was now taking a apecial
course In New York. Germalne
Mademoiselle Tremblay was re
turning from a visit to some friends
In Quebec.
Marvelous hair like burnished
ajold where.tbe sun glinted on It. She
Inherited that from her mother, too,
probably. Someone had said she
could drive a dog team with the best
of them and yet sbe was scarcely
up to bis shoulder.
Colin went up on deck. Her chair
waa still unoccupied. He flung him
self Into bis own chair and tugged
a book out ot bis pooket. For soma
unaccountable reason he did not
feel like talking to anybody not
even to Francois Jollecoeur, the old
timber cruiser over there, who told
entrancing tales of the coast and
his own adventures alas, not al
ways true! A priceless old liar! A
great character for a book written
round these parts! A book? What
book? Would he, Colin, ever write
another? He had his own skin now,
to put it bluntly, to think ot first.
Somewhere a winch suddenly
(puttered and clanked noisily, dis
cordantly. They were getting cargo
up on deck. A sure sign that another
port was near at band. Cap a l'Orage.
He looked up. '
She had Just emerged from the
captain's room up there off the lower
bridge, the captain following her
through the doorway. Colin heard
her Uugh ring out as she gayly
spurned the captain's offer ot as
clstance, and came llthely down tho
ladder.
How would he describe her If be
were Introducing ber as a heroine
to bis readers? He wasn't much
good when It came to his "girl" stuff
never had been. Always afraid of
It But he wasn't describing her now
in a lame and groping paragraph aa
be rose from bis cbalr to meet her
and they automatically drifted over
to the rati together ha was Just
looking at ber.
THH blue eye smiled at blm
frankly out of a face whose only
cosmetics were the sun and the
out-of-doors.
"I thought you'd gone down to
pack," he said.
"Oh, no," she laughed, "I did that
before lunch, except, ot oourse, Just
thjs few .finishing tonohes. And you?"
"All set," he answered.
"Captain Ralnville chased me
way." She waved her hand shore
ward. "We'll be In shortly. That's
Cap a. l'Orage over there. See that
bald old mountain sticking out Into
tha water with a lighthouse on top
of It? The town Is Just this side ot it

In that little bay. You ean begin to
see the houses now."
"I see." Ha nodded. "Storm Cape.
I've always meant to ask bow It
came by its name."
Studying ber, be saw the amlla
fade from her eyes aa sba shook ber
head gravely.
"I am afraid It has earned It," ahe
said seriously. "I can't explain It
Ot course, the Gulf la very wide
here, like the open sea, and you
can't see the other shore; but then
that's true In lots of other places.
But the storms do seem to center
bere and at times are very violent
"Besides, though the Gulf Is fa
mous for Its fogs, we seem to get
more than our share of those too
and so often tbey coma upon as al
most without any warning at all.
Tha storms are really very treach
erous, and there is scarcely "year
goes by that one of our men Is never
heard ot again. And another's sor
row In a little place like ours, yos
know, Is one's own too."
He nodded his head.
"I can well appreciate that" he
said quietly. "And so that's how It
came by Its name, is it?"
She nodded ber bead in turn; and
then her mood changed swiftly and
she was smiling at him again halt
teasingly, and yet half in earnest,
too. It seemed.
"rvO you know," ahe said, "that
a-' I've really been worrying a lot
about you ever alnce I know you
were getting off at Cap a l'Orage?"
He fell in with ber mood.
"How awful!" be exclaimed trag
ically. "No, really!" she returned quick
ly. "Madame Frenler does the best
she can with her so-called 'hotel,'
but it la far from being a modern
hostelry and far, I am afraid, from
wbat you will expect It's mostly
post office and general store. You
know, we are supposed to be hospi
table here on the coast and I am
sure father would take you com
pletely under his wing, only" her
face clouded suddenly ''I don't
think he's very well. .
"That's what has brought me back
little sooner than I bad expected.
But in any case, I promise you that
you won't be utterly deserted ... It
you like an occasional tramp through
the woods . . . and I've got a rather
Jolly little motorboat not terribly
swanky, but a brave little craft Just
the same."
"Glorious!" he exclaimed enthusi
astically. "As for the rest, I am sure
that Madame Frenler and I will get
along famously. And besides"
He studied her for a moment His
thoughts raced suddenly. Why not?
He conldn't go around everywhere
asking for Joe Laiarret This was
the' obvious, the natural, the least
suspicious nvove to make. He didn't
like that with herl But what could
he do?
"And besides," be went on, "I'm
not sure that I am going to be whol
ly stranger In a straLge land. A
friend of a friend of mine!" He
laughed a little. "You know! I be
lieve he'a down here at Cap a
l'Orage. His name Is Lazarre. Joe
short for Joseph, ot course."
"Lazarre!" she repeated, and
shook her head. "It's not an uncom
mon name by any means, hut I am
sure I know everyone In Cap a
rurage, and there Is no one by that
name In the village."
Colin dug for a cigarette and
lighted It Lazarre wasn't the man'a
real name, of course. Everybody In
the whole business soemed to In
dulge In fictitious names himself
Included! But Reddy had said that
it was aa Lazarre the man was
known here. Not so easy, apparent
ly, from what she hsd Just said, to
pick up the trail! And yet he had
scarcely expected to And the man a
resident of Cap a l'Orage. Reddy's
uncertainty as to Latarre's exact
whereabouts had suggested a decid
ed uuestlon mark in that regard.
But someone In Cap a l'Orage must
have seen or heard of Joe Laiarre.
Oh. well," he said lightly, "It
really doesn't mstter."
"Walt!" she cried out impulsive
ly.
He waited. He liked the dainty
way In which her brow waa sud
denly profoundly puckered.
Of course!" she said. "I hadn't
thought of that! If he's a friend of
a friend ot yours, and moving In ex
alted social circles" she was a lit
tle witch she made him a staid
bow "perbapa he's one of the men
who coma down every year to the
club."
'The club?" be echoed. "Then
there is a club at Cap a lOrage?"
