• CHAPTER VI
Synopsis:
Sgt. Michael O'Hara, the
Mounted, is struck with the
beauty of a young woman at a
dance hall. Her expression be-
trays grave ' trouble. While
Studying her features, O'Hara
receives a summons to appear
before his chief, inspector 'Mac-
donald. "Got a case for your
O'Hara," says the chief,
•"Looks like double murder."
Macdonald outlines _to O'Hara
the known details of the crime
and gives him two mink tails

O'Hara breaks in and comes
face to face with the young
woman he had 'seen at the
dance hall, Laure Gharian,
widow of the slain man. She
has been burning some papers.
He finds Nicky Creuse locked
in another room and liberates
him. Nicky accuses Laure of
the murder of his sister and
Gharian. O'Hara finds two
guns on Nicky and places him
under arrest. Creuse and
O'Hara spend the nigh at the
cabin.
Then she lifted her white face
and her beautiful tear drenched
eyes and looked 'at them both for
one. long moment; she rose to her
feet and faced them„ quivering
from head to foot. ;'You're both
my enemies!" she whispered,
white -lipped, "but the good God is
my judge!" And she turned, went
quickly into the little inner room
and shut the door.
Nicky laughed bitterly, mirth-
lessly. "You see, m'sieur.? She's
guilty."
"Sit down," O'Hara commanded
sternly, "you gain nothing by accus-
ing her. It's an old trick, Creuse,

for a guilty man caught Witl> " the
goods to try to fasten hie crime on
another. I've been down over the
trail. Why' did you take to the Ica
in the creek and'then leave tracks
in the show beyond? A' bad bit' of
evidence against you, that!"
The young roan stared at hits,
his face whitening suddenly.
"You're trumping up a charge
against me, O'Hara, and it's false,
false as hell! I did go down on
the creek, but I went today, be-
fore snow fell, and I tried t� track
the prints there, her footprints! I
was too late to see the dog team
that fetched her here; it. was going
back beyond the creek."
O'Hara's involuntary start made
Creuse turn sharply on him. "You
know there was a team there,
must have •been! No one could
cross that wilderness on foot. It
took her here the day of the mur-
der; you find that team 'and the
man who drove it,.and you'll see!"
The sergeant smiled cruelly.
"You shouldn't admit that you
went down that creek, Nicky, and
had a dog team waiting!"
Young Creuse swore below his
breath. "You'll hang me yet to
save her!" he cried bitterly, "I've
nothing more to say."
Nor would he speak again; he
flung himself upon a bench in the
farthest corner, hid his face �n
his arms and feigned sleep, though
the fury of the wind made sleep
well nigh impossible.
O'Hara took what ease he could
in a big ohair by the fire. He had
fallen into a revery, his busy mind
threshing over the queer angles
of the case, when he was startled
by the abrupt opening of the inner
door. It was fairly flung open and
Laure stood. a moment leaning
against it, white and haggard.
Then, meeting his eyes, she came
unsteadily forward and stretched
her shaking hands out to the fire.
"I'm so cold," she whispered to
O'Hara with shaking lips. "I -I'm
going to stay here, m'sieur!"
The sergeant long ago had ex-
tinguished the lamp and the flame
light lifted her face out of the
semi -gloom and gave it an almost
unearthly beauty.
He rose. "Isn't there a stove in
there? Let me make you a fire,
and bring in those furs from the
wall." He pointed at some skins
that Gharian, must have cured for
the fur trade.
But she recoiled, shuddering.
"No, no! II can't stay in there!"
He said no more, thinking he
understood. He made her sit down
in the chair he just had vacated,
spread one of the skins over her
knees and made a pillow of • a
smaller one, aware that Nicky
watched thein furiously from un-
der the arm he flung across his
face. He was waiting eagerly for
a word, a sign, that would show
an understanding between these
two;. and 6l.•Hara . knew it. -It
filled him with a cold fury toward
the younger man. He had no need
to fear self-betrayal' from her..
She did not speak again. As silent
as Creuse himself, she sat there,
staring at the fire, and only once
did her tremulous lips utter some-
thing like a groan. That was when
a sudden abating of the wind
made 'O'Hara stir the fire and the
leaping flames reflected on a little
faded photograph in the corner,
the likeness of a tiny child. He
glanced at her and saw her eyes
fixed on it; but she made no other
sound, and as the strange night
dragged. to its close, another gray
Arctic day came to them.
Again she cooked for him, and
again Creuse refused to eat her
food, choking down his hardtack
with a dry throat. The meal was
more difficult than supper,' though
she was calm, but once when
O'Hara accidentally touched her
hand she flushed and her eyes
fell.
Although the storm had spent
itself in the night it was noon be-
fore O'Hara Cree came with the
dogs. Then he ordered Nicky
Creuse to ride on the sled, while
he stooped to gather up his own
pack and make ready to accom-
pany them.
The Cree and the prisoner were
almost fifty yeards away when he
went back to the cabin door and
called to the woman.
"You can't . mean to stay here
alone? When are your friends
coming for you, madaute?"
She was' standing by the table,
her face in the. shadow that was
made deeper by the snow glare
outside. At his words she looked

figure of the Cree loomed ghostly,
as he mushed along, urging his
team. They had ascended a little
rise and were disappearing over its
edge. O'Hara had no time to lose
if he meant to overtake them, yet
he scarcely had taken a dozen
steps when he heard her voice be-
hind him and suddenly felt her
hand on his sleeve.
"You're taking him -to •prison?
she choked, her eyes following the
track of the sled runners in the
8n0*.
O'Hara stood still, looking down
at her. Even in that Arctic light
her beauty was radiant, she was
so near he could feel her warm
breath on his cheek. Suddenly she
lifted her eyes to this with a new
and pitiful appeal, "The evidence
you have against him, m'sieuz•; it
-it's circumstantial?"
"Entirely! Must be in a case like
this, Mrs. Gharian. It is sufficient,
though."
"Oh, mon Dieu," she cried catch-
ing at his sleeve, "don't do it,
don't let him suffer on that! He
might -might be innocent!"
O'Hara' smiled grimly. "He'll
have a chance to prove that at
the trial.
Her hand fell from his arm and
she shrank back, dumb. If she
had a secret she meant to keep
it. O'Hara drew a glove from his
breast and held it out to her.
"Yours,?" he asked quietly.
She took it and the color leaped
into her '`face. "You -you found
this, m'sieur?"
"At French Pete's, where you
dropped it under the table the
other night."
She was startled. She flushed,
staring at the glove, then sudden-
ly, she hid her face upon it, and
breaking down in sudden and vio-
lent weeping, fled from him into
the cabin.
So you've brought in Creuse as
the only suspect, and you've cov-
ered the ground up there thorough-
ly; that's the long and short of
your report, thenr O'Hara?"
"The whole of it so far, In-
spector."
Macdonald turned around in his.
chair and eyed the sergeant sharp-
ly. "What ails the bunch of you?"
he asked tersely. "What the dev-
il's got into this case? You're like
Johnson, now; you're holding
something back!"
O'Hara's face crimsoned. "I'm
asking leave to check up on it
further, Inspector. If I can clear
up one or two points I'll lay it all
before you. If I don't," he drew a
letter from his pocket, "I'll re-
sign. I'd like to Ieave this with
you, sir. If I don't report in six
days, open it!"
His chief took the sealed en-
velope and looked at it ogriously,
then he glanced up at his subor-
dinate's set face. Something had
happened to O'Hara. He looked
older, more worn; there was even
a sag in his ordinarily erect, con-
fident bearing.
