CHAPTER XI. Phedre Pointarre. T was still early afternoon when I we arrived in Lendeville. a few scattered farms and a single gen- eral store. Outside one of the farmhouses Joe paused. “I know the ctiap that lives in here,” he‘ said. “He’s a pretty mean kind 01 a man. Mr. Quaritch. I may find a way to make'mm talk, though it he thought I wanted information he’d not part with it.” “Say, McAndrew.” began Joe, “what’s your price for hiring two strong horses and a good buckboard to take us and our outfit on from here to the Burnt Lands by Sandy pond?” “Twenty dollars.” “Huh!" said Joe. “we don’t want t6 buy the old horses!” The Scotchman’s shaven lips (he wore a chin beard and whiskers) ope!» ed. “It would na’ pay to do it to: less)’ “Then there‘s othe’rs as will.” “And what might their names be?” inquired McAndrew ironically. "Them as took up Bank Clerk At- terson when he was here six weeks back.” “Weel, you’re wrang!” cried McAn- drew, “for Bank Clerk Atterson juist walked in with young Simon Pointam and lived with the family at theil new mill. So the price is twenty or I’ll nae hearness a horse for ye.” “Then I’ll have to go on to Simon Pointarre. I’ve heard him well spoken of.” h“Have ye now? That’s queer. to: e"- “Maybe. then, it was his brother.” said Joe quickly. “Which?” “The other one that was with An derson at Red river.” “There was nae one, only the old man. Simon and the two girrls.” “Well, anyway. I’ll ask. the Poin- tarre’s price before I close with yours.” _ , > ' “1’11 make :1 reduce to $17 if ye agree here and now.” November said something further 01 Atterson’s high regard for Simon Poin- tame, which goaded old McAndrew to: “And I suppose it was love of Simon that made him employ that family," he snarled. “Oh, yes. that’s comic. ’Twas Simon and no that grinning las- sie they call Phedre! Atterson’.’ Tush' I tell ye, it ever a man made a fule o‘ himself”â€" But here. despite McAndrew’s pro tests, Joe left the farm. At the store which was next visited we learned the position at the Pain. tarre steading and the fact that old Pointan‘e, the daughters, Phedre and home. The door was opened by a girl 01 about twenty years of age. Her brighl brown eyes and hair made her very good looking. Joe gave her a quick man to see Phedre.” “What’s your bushes?" growled I Pointarre will know when 1 the he! “Why sent you?” “ ’1; tell that. but! guess “I came to see your sister,” said he. “Simon.” called the 81:1. “here's I “Wellnppmyon’dMnenhet. and one son, Simon, were at xou'u nna uer below were m we meadow.” Joe thanked him and we set off. A twig broke under my foot~ and the girl swung round at the noise. “What do you want?” SUQ asked. She was tall and really gloriously handsome. “I‘ve come from Atterson. I’ve just seen him." said November. ”There are mnnv people who see him every day. What of that?” “Huh! Don't they read the newspa- per in Lendeville? There’s something about him going round. 1 came think- ing you'd sure want to hear,” said No vcmher.

I’bedre turned away as if “What interest have 1 in this? nuies me to listen." “\Ynit!" replied November. “Witt the police I went and soon struck At tel-son’s trail on the old colonial p031 road and in time come up with Attet- son himself nigh Red river.

And I thought the same till”--November’i gaze never left her faceâ€"“till I see his eyes. The pupils were like pin point: in his head.” He paused and added- “I got the bottle of whisky that was in his pack. It‘ll go in as evidence." “Of what?" she cried impatiently. “That Atterson was drugged and tin bank property stole from him. You see.” continued Joe. ‘this robbery wasn’t altogether Atterson’s own idea." “No, I guess he had the first notion of it when he was on his vacation six weeks back. He was in 1093 with a wonderful handsome girl. Blue eyes she had and black hair, and her teeth was as good as yours. She pretended to be in love with him. but all along she was in love withâ€"well, I can‘t say who she was in love withâ€"herself likely. Anyway, I expect she used all her influence to make Atterson rob the bank and then light out for the woods with the stuff. He does all she wants. On his way to the woods she meets him with a pack of food and neces- saries. In that pack was a bottle of drugged whisky. She asks him where he’s going to camp that night. he sus- pects nothing and tells her, and off she goes in a canoe up Red river till she comes to opposite where he’s lying drugged. She lands and robs him. but she don't want him to know who done that, so she plays an old game to con- ceal her tracks. She’s a rare active young woman. so she carries out her 1 plan. gets back to her canoe and home ito Lendeville. Need I tell any more {about her?” During J oe’s story Phedre’s color had slowly died aWay. “You are very clever!" she said bit- terly. “But why should you tell me all this?” “Because I’m going to advise you to hand over the $100,000 you took from Atterson. I’m in this case for the bank.” “There is one point you have missed for all your cleverness.” she said. “Suppose what you have said is true, .may it not be that the girl who robbed Atterson took the money just to return .1: to the bank ?" , “1?” she exclaimed violently. “Do you dare to say that I had anything whatever to do with this robbery, that I have the $100,000? Bah! I know nothing about it. How should I?" “Ah!” J 09 shrugged his shoulders. “Then I beg your pardon. Miss Pointarre, and I say good bye. I'must go and make my report to the police and let them act their own way.” He turned. but before he had gone more than a step or two she called to him. “Don’t seem to be-that way, for she has just denied all knowledge of the property and denied she had it before two witnesses. Besides, when Atter. son comes to know that he’s been made a catspaw of he’ll be liable to turn king’s evldence.

Well, I reckon she thought the trick good enough to blind Atterson. If he'd found a woman's tracks after being robbed he’d have suspected.” “But you said before we left Atter- son’s camp that whoever robbed him was middle height, a light weight and had black hair.” “Well. hadn’t she? Light Weight be cause the logs wasn’t much drove into the ground. not tall since the marks of them was so close together.” “But the black iair?" Joe laughed. “That was the surest thing of the lot and put me wise to it and Phedre at the start.

Joe and 1 were sitting by E our campfire near one of the fiords of western Alaska. where we had gone on a hunting expedition after the great moose of the west. I was talking when suddenly Joe touched me. “Shsh!” he whispered. “There's some feller moving down by the creek.” We waited, and I was soon aware of a figure advancing through the night. Then a voice said, “Fine night, mates.” and a sinewy, long armed fel. low With a bushy red heard stepped into the circle of light. w'v ‘__ “The 3016 makes you keep yogr hands in your pockets. don’t it?” sand Joe gently. “It does me.” 0 w-.. “VA“A vâ€"v c'___, I then noticed that both men were covering each other with revolvers through their pockets.
