Baree, the wolf-dog, had left the ca- bin of Pierrot, the trapper, to join the wolf pack. But the wolves would not have him--he was only half-wolf, and back to the cabin he went, to be the guardian and pet of Nepsese, the trap- per's daughter, henceforth. Ons day Pierrgt received word from McTag- | gart, the factor, asking him to go to | Lac Bain and help in the general store | for a few days, while McTaggart was away. "It was a strange request and caused Pierrot to wonder. CHAPTER XIX--Continued. "And--Nepeese?"' said Pierrot. "M'sieu expects me to bring her?" From the stove the Willow bent her head to listen, and her heart leaped free again at DeBar's answer. "He said nothing about that. But surely--it will be a great change for li'le m'setle." .

After DeBar had gone, he said to Nepeese: "And you shall remain here, ma che- rie. I will not take you to Lac Bain. I have had a dream that M'sieu will not go on a journey, but that he has lied, and that he will be sick when I arrive at the post. And yet, if jt should hap- pen that you care to go---"" "Was staring as if stunned for a space of what he saw." Nepeese straightened suddenly, like a reed that has been caught by the wind. "Non!" she cried, so fiercely that Pierrot laughed, and rubbed his hands. So it happened that on the second day after the fox-hunter's visit Pierrot left for Lac Bain, with Nepeese in the door waving him good-bye until he was out of sight. , : On the morning of this same day Bush McTaggart rose from his bed while it was still dark. The time had come. He had hesitated at murder--at the killing of Pierrot; and in his hesi- tation he had found a better way. There could be no escape for Nepeese. He ate his breakfast before dawn, and was on the trail before it was yet light. Purposely he struck due east, so that in coming up from the south and west Pierrot would not sledge tracks. For he had made up his mind now that Pierrot must never know and must never have a suspic- ion, even though it cost him so many more miles to travel that he would not reach the Gray Loon until the second day. It was better to be a "day late, af- tel all, as it was possible that some- thing might have delayed Pierrot, So he made no effort to travel fast. There was a vast amount of briftal satisfaction to McTaggart in arfticipat- ing what was about to happen, and he revelled in it to the full. There was no chance for disappointment. He was positive that Nepeese would not ac- company her father to Lac Bain. She would be at the cabin on the Gray Loon--alone.® _ This aloneness was to Nepeese bur- dened with no thought of danger. There were times, now, when the thought of being alone was pleasant to her, when she wanted to dream by herself, when sfie visioned things into the mysteries of which she would not admit even Pierrot. She was growing into womanhood--just the sweet, clos- ed bud of womanhood as yet--still a girl with the soft velvet of girlhood in her eyes, yet with the mystery of wo- 'man stirring gently in her soul, as if the Great Hand were hesitating be- tween awakening her and letting her sleep a little longer. At these times, when the opportunity came to steal hours by herself she would put on the a year from Nelson House. On the second day of Pierrot's ab. A LOVE EPIC OF THE FAR NORTH strike *his | onds she did not turn. Her first thought was of Pierrot--for some rea- son he had returned. But even as this thought came to her, she heard in Ba- ree's throat a snarl that brought her suddenly to her feet, facing the door. McTaggart had not entered unpre- ful dress and flowing hair--he was staring as if stunned for a space at what he saw. Fate, or dccident, was playing against the Willow now. It was riot a long interval in which their eyes met in that terrible silence --terrible to the girl. Words wefe un- necessary. At last she understood--un- derstood what her peril had been that day at the edge of the chasm and in the forest, when fearlessly she had played her now. A breath that was like a sob broke from her lips. I "M'sieul" she tried to say. But it was only a gasp--an effort. She seem- ed choking. Only a single step McTaggart ad- vanced. On the floor Baree had re- mained like a carven thing. He had not moved. He had not made a sound but that one warning snarl--until Mc- Taggart took the step. And then, like a flash, he was up and in front of Ne- peese, every hair of his body on end; and at the fury in his growl McTag- gart lunged back against the barred door. A word from Nepeese in that pared. He had left his pack, his gun, | and his heavy coat outside. He was | stariding with this back against the | door--and at Nepeese--in her wonder- | with the menace that was confronting | moment, and it would have been over. But an instant was lost--an instant before her cry came. In that moment | man's hand and brain worked togeth- | er swifter than brute understanding; | and as Baree launched himself at the | Factor's throat, there came a flash and | a deafening explosion almost in the | Willow's eyes. It was a chance shot, a shot from | the hip with McTaggart's automatic. | Baree fell short. He struck the 'floor with a thud and rolled against the log | wall. There was not a kick or a quiver | left in his body. McTaggart laughed nervously as he shoved his pistol back in its holster. He knew that only a brain shot could have done that. With her back against the farther wall, Nepeese was waiting. McTaggart could hear her panting breath. He ad- vanced halfway to her. "Nepeese, I have come to make you my wife," he said. She did not answer. He could see that her breath was choking her, She raised her hand to her throat. He took two more steps, and stopped. He had never seen such eyes. "I have come to make you my wife, Nepeese. Tomorrow you will go on to Nelson House with me, and then back to Lac Bain--forever," He added the last word as an afterthought. "For- ever," he repeated. He did not mince words. His cour- age and his determination rose as he saw her body droop a little against the wall. She was powerless. There was no escape. Pierrot was gone. Baree was dead. He had thought that no living crea- ture could move us swiftly as the Wil- low when his arms reached out for her. She made no sound as she darted un- der one of his outstretched arms. He made a lunge, a brutal grab, and his Mingers caught a bit of her hair. He heard the snap of it as she tore her- self free and flew to the door. She had thrown back the bolt when he caught her and his arms closed about her. He dragged her back and now she cried out--cried out in despair for Pierrot, for Baree, for some miracle of God that might save her.
