?li *;
Under a sky flushed with the rose of
the northern twilight, Joan Quarrier
and her brother stood on the high
shore of the Elkwan, whose fiat sur-
face caught and held the warm tones
of the heavens. On guard before the
factor's house, inside the stoekeele,
lay the great Airedale, satisfied, since
his introduction, that these People
were at Elkwan with the consent of
his master, but nursing, nevertheless,
a deep dislike of the man with the
hairy face, who had dared attempt
to rub the ears of the former mascot
of the First battalion, Royal Moil-
reals,
"So there's a dying Indian woman
at the house?" Quarrier was saying.
"Yes, He asked me to see her. She
has a frightful pulse and temperature,

think."
"Matter • of squaw -man, also,"
sniffed Quarrier,

Anne, the Cree cook, found her sick
in a tipi, when the Indians *were here

humanity they took care of her,"
"You believe that story?" scoffed
the man of science.
The eyes of the girl hardened,
"Well, Mr. Grundy, it's none of your
business or, mile, is it?"
"I should distinctly say it was my
business—to have my sister, without •

tested Quarrier in tones of outraged
dignity.
