The Huron Expositor, 1950-09-01, Page 7-CHAPTER IX Synopsis Will MacLeod unjustly ac- cused of murder fled to White Rock with his sitter. Their Uhcle Alexander had Dick Bryne deliver a message to Nipegosis at White Rock. On the way he was • seriously wounded by Kinoceti. Bill and Marion found Dick almost dead and took him to their cottage. Learning that the Mounty would soon be there Bill left to hide In a cave. The allounty mistook the uncon- scious Dick for Bill, and de- cided to stay and guard him. Kinoceti and his friends saw Bill headed for the cave, left a guard and set out for White Rock. He might even aspire to the late bride of Sigonay, might get from alipegosis the secret of the lost lode. Kinoceti led his three hench- men into White Rock in late after - You Have a Lucky Number, Too If you're a little skeptical about there being suck things as lucky numbers, here's your proof.

He had been strongly tempt- ed to steal Will MacLeod's sled and dogs, but he fought off the impulse. He requoted .sop's fable to .himself. "Do not trade the sha- dow for the substance." So the white men had taught him, and it was sage advice. On the way they stopped at one of his caches of caribou. Kinoceti liked it, but it was his "medicine." He knew how to use it. His three helpers were befuddled when they got to White Rock. He himself was merely chargedwith deviltry. - He saw, as O'Rourke had seen, the evidence of dogs lately fed - and gone. He knew where, too. He looked through the window of the cabin and saw Marion Mac- Leod, in a gingham dress that, unlike the raiment the squaw wore, set off her lithe loveliness. She was dusting the room. Kinoceti motioned back his trio. They had brought meat with them, and they sought shelter and ate it, relapsing to somnolence. Kino- ceti tried the front door, It open- ed, and he went .into the inner room. The girl started back at the sight of him, and Kinoceti grin- ned, the lifted lip puckering to the scar, so that his dog teeth showed. He summoned his best memories of school: This was to be an occasion. "Here there is nothing for you to sell, Miss Marion," he said, and cursed silently at his use of the "Miss." "Things are different here, at White Rock, where your brother runs from the police and leaves you all alone -for me to take." The look in her eyes cowed him for a moment, but the caribou spurred him. "You dog!" she said. "You low - bred. curl How dare you?" He grinned again. "Dog! Low - bred cur! How dare I? I'll show you, you . . , ' It was then she screamed. as ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY TRIP UNMARRED BY TIRE TROUBLE Take a really carefree holiday trip.

As O'Rourke charged into the room Kinoceti whirled, the girl still in his arms, struggling, strik- ing at him, kicking, clawing until the blood streamed from his face, ran over his mouth. He licked his lips and laughed. "You'll pay for that, too," he told her, then saw the scarlet tun - is of the authority he feared and hated. His face, anticipating tri- umph, changed to the snarl of a treed puma. He did not know O'Rourke, but saw the badge of rank on the sergeant sleeve. His own action as informer had brought this man. But the reward money was not now in Kinoceti's mind. It had left it. One glimpse at O'Rourke and he knew what was coming to him, and prepared to meet it. He flung Marion aside, and she ran to the door that led into the kitchen, panting. She had hated O'Rourke- She still did, because of Will; but now he was her cham- pion, and she thrilled to it. "This," said O'Rourke, as he saw the breed -not knowing who nor what lie was -crouch and pre- pare to fight, "is not official. It's going lo be purely a personal mat- ter -011d a pleasant one." The girls saw his eyes light up with a glow of sheer delight, the glory of a natural fighting man in a righteous cause. She .clung to the lintel of the door. O'Rourke, watching Kinoceti, knowing his kind, stripped off his scarlet tunic, set his holstered gun aside, His arms were still engaged in the sleeves when a knife flash- ed- The breed had flung it. O'Rourke ducked and the blade stuck quivering in the wall. The sergeant tossed his crimson coat aside and oharged in low. Kin- oceti, cursing the miss of his steel, awaited him, confident of his own strength and capacity, not reckon- ing that he had sapped' it with "caribou" and ill -chosen food, not realizing that O'Rourke was in far better condition, hard as culcaniz- ed rubber of body, with sinews of steel. O'Rourke straightened him with a right and left, flung short and hard from the hip as they closed. The blows bloodied his nose and swelled the Indian's lips. He leap- ed like a panther, clinging, goug- ing, trying for fouls, and found O'Rourke tying him up, battering his kidneys, flinging him off. This devil of a Mountie knew the tricks, fair and foul. Kinoceti came in again, took a swing on the jaw and fell to his knees, his hands about the sergeant's legs, feigning weakness, though he was really hurt from the smash, striv- ing to trip O'Rourke, to throw him. O'Rourke had forgotten the .girl, had thought she had left the room. But she stood with eyes shining and parted lips, watching the com- bat, with never a doubt of the out- come. She was as savage, as primitive, for the time, as were the two slogging, hard -breathing men seeking to down each other. Kinoceti's attack upon her had been terrifying in its sudden vic- ious onslaught, in her feeling of helplessness as she tried to fight him off. Now she wanted to see him punished -and she was get- ting ber wish. They were well matched for a while as they fought, panting, slid- ing, leaping and side-stepping,' grunting as a blow got home with a thud. O'Rourke had a fair amount of science, largely discounted by the tact that all rules were off- Kino- ceti would try to disable him by teeth and claws if necessary. He had already bitten the sergeant's shoulder and his head rested there in a clinch. That had cost the breed a bad battering as O'Rourke telt the smart when he tore his flesh loose froth Kinoceti's clamp- ing jaws. He was bleeding there now, the stain coming slowly through his shirt. Kinoceti's dark face was blotch- ed with. bruises, his lips were a blob and one eye was closing. But he fought with the ferocity of a bayed wild beast. Even if he got out 'of this -unless he killed the sergeant, got rid of the girl --he figured he would be a hunted man A breed whoattempted assault on a white girl was an outlaw whose shooting never would oe charged against the man who did it. The record of his crimes surged above him like a wave. He knew that even if O'Rourke knew his accredited record it would not con- tain a tenth of them- And Kino- ceti did not trust the gesture of the flung off tunic, the laid -aside P.M 3.00 3.46 4.40 A.M 10,46 11,36 12.20 PM 9.86 :10•,81, it.d THE McKILLOP MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO'Y. holater, the assurance, that tho eu* i9puater was: personal. Tl a sw geamt was boring #lt and: the breed's wind was going. .Elis arms began to feel heavy, his legs had lost their spring. He made .a rusth in a burst of fury, head down, slogging at O'Rourke's groin, try- ing to knee him, and got the at, tack broken byi ripping uppercuts. "Trying to rough it, are you?" •O'Rourke panted. "Two can play at that game, if you insist on it." There was piston power behind the Mountie's stiff blows and Kino- ceti was getting desperate. He was half blind, his wind, broken by a debauch, was 'almost gone. He could not get his lungs refilled be- cause of O'Rourke's relentless bat- tering; pain shot through his side like a knife thrust. If only he had not missed that knife fling. If he could get the gup out of its holster! He knew he could never manage the latter -the flap was buttoned; O'Rourke would be on him before he could open it. But -the knife . . ! It was still in the woodwork. Kinoceti surged in, sidestepping, dodging, trying to reach the weap- on. He took a jolt on the side of th•e head to leap for it and missed as the girl cried out a warning and O'Rourke, who had never forgot- ten the knife was there, hit him so hard over the heart and in the stomach that the blows sounded like the beats of a drum. The braed doubled up, clung in a feeble clinch. . Marion MacLeod jerked the blade loose and stood by the door again, holding the knife, her eyes blazing. "Good for you!" O'Rourke threw at her. "It's all over. Watch this," He was in a cold fury at • the second attempt to use steel. He tore loose the breed's failing clutch, measured him as he held him up for a moment on has' sag- ging legs. Then he sent home a right and left, smacking to the point of either side the jaw. Kinoceti's eyes glazed, his knees sagged Band he tell like a length of heavy chain, lying on his face, arms asprawl, one leg drawn up. O'Rourke stood over him a mo- ment, breathing heavily, watchful, Blood dripped from the knuckles of his right hand where he had torn it against the breed's teeth and left two of the latter broken. Then he stooped, dragged Kino- ceti's limp body to the door into the passage. The girl followed, her face adorifig, mesmerized by the sheer physical glory of the fight, none the less so since it had been for her. She opened the outer door and O'Rourke heaved the breed out with a final effort, gripping him by his belt and the cloth between his shoulders, lifting him clear of the ground, handling him like a stevedore loading sacked wheat. "That's that," he said as he closed the door. "The snow'll be good for him. 1 don't think he'll try it over again." He was not too certain of the truth of his statement. This breed would be resentful. The beating would not lessen his desire to get even. He might stay shy of O'Rourke, but the girl was still in peril. It might have been better not to have made it a personal matter, to have made an arrest in- stead. But to do that would have brought Marion MacLeod's name into it. Also O'Rourke was out on a one-man trail. "You were wonderful," Marion said. "I had been hating you," she added frankly. "I'm ashamed of myself. When Kinoceti . The sergeant had a puffed lip, but he 'achieved a whistle. "Kinoceti?" he repeated. "Well, he got more reward than he ex- pected. So, that' Was Kinoceti?" The girl's wits were sharp. She caught his half -spoken meaning. It was Kinoceti who had betrayed ber brother, who ewpected to col- lect the thousand dollars for it. "I wish you had killed him," she cried, "Kinoceti is the mac' my brother really believes killed Reg- nier. We came up here so that Will would not be arrested, so that we would have a chance to try to pin proof on Kinoceti The Indians always come here in the spring. They talk sometimes when they are drunk. And there was Nipegosis." She checked herself, realizing that she was talking almost con- fidentially with the man who re- presented the law, who had come to arrest her brother. He was looking at her curiously. (Continued Next Week) sae Little Elsie: "Mummy, what be- comes of an automobile when it gets too old to run any more?'

He emphasized the point that in the United States prices generally are set to a great extent in the public stockyards and that the live- stock are sold by highly qualified sales .agencies. The spirit of co- operation was found to be much in evidence throughout the industry and while all connected with it be- lieved strongly in advertising, they fully realized the importance of having. what they advertised. Dairy Industry Vital To Canada Dairying is more widely distri- buted than any other type of farm- ing in Canada and more individual farmers derive an important part of their revenue from dairying than from any other type of farm- ing, according to L. W. Pearsall, Director of Marketing Service, in the Department of Agriculture, Ot- tawa. Speaking at the Ontario Poultry and Livestock Conference 'held re- cently at Guelph, Mr. Pearsall said Out the, Cash icePeke 'from >L?he ea,S .., of dairyproducts WAS greater than; , the revenua from any other agl' cultural pr..Adlipt with" the excep- tion of wheat. ' If the return: from the sale of dairy cattle for export and slaughter was !minded, he said that the cash income Weed- ed that of wheat and approximat- ed 25 per cent of The total cash income from farming. The importance of dairying var- ies in different areas and provinc- es throughout Canada, with On- tario and Quebec producing about 66 per cent of the total milk out- put utput which last year was more than 161/2 billionpounds, or four per cent above the pre-war level In Quebec the revenue from dairy products represents 35 per cent of the total cash income, which would approximate 50 per cent if the sale of dairy cattle was included. By comparison, the cash income from dairying -in the three Prairie Provinces is less than sev- en per cent of the total and the milk produotion is slightly more than one-quarter of the total for Canada. Toothbrush Tips Decay in teeth is, in part at least, caused by clinging particles of food which need frequent brush- ing away. The 'toothbrush should be moved up and down, not only across the teeth, and inside sur- faces should not be forgotten: Cleaning should be done as soon after eating as .possible.
