They would be married in the quaint, old town of Bradleyburg, in the shadow of the spruce. They would return, these two. The North had claimed them but had not mastered them and they would come back to see again the caribou feeding in the forest, the whirling snows, and the spruce trees lifting their tall heads to the winter stars.
And his heart leaped with indescribable relief when he saw that neither of the two men that were squatted in the lean-to mouth was the stranger that had passed his camp six years before. Bill had old acquaintance with the type of man that confronted him now. One of them was Joe Robinson, an Indian who had wintered in Bradleyburg a few years before.
Beyond it, however, lay only wintry mountains, covered to a depth of five feet or more with soft and impassable snow; and until the snow crusted, the journey to Bradleyburg was as impossible as if they had been cast away on another sphere. Even the rapids of the river had begun to freeze.
The message was singularly terse: My Dear Mr. Bronson: I am informed, by the head of your provincial game commission, that you can be employed to guide for hunting parties wishing to hunt in the Clearwater, north of Bradleyburg. I do not wish to hunt game, but I do wish to penetrate that country in search of my fiance, Mr.
They had worked for months at their mine, in secret, and then Rutheford had come with pack horses into Bradleyburg, ostensibly for supplies. He had been a guest at the Bronson cabin and had reported that all was well with his generous partner. And the next night he had disappeared. Weeks were to pass before the truth was known.
Of course, I'd expect you to think of that first you who loved Beatrice so dearly!" Neilson's face was white with disdain. "It'll be recorded in our names, by then likely Chan is already in Bradleyburg and Darby himself is the only man on earth we have to fear." He paused, putting his faith in desperate craft.
Who that letter was to was an official in Bradleyburg an old friend of Hiram's and in it was a description of the claim. This letter Morris got was a notice that his claim was all properly filed in his Hiram's name. Whatever formalities was necessary was cut out because the old man had been too sick to make the trip the recorder got special permission from Victoria.
It was better that he should be, for Virginia's happiness. Her happiness this had been the motive and the theme of Bill's work clear through: it was his one consolation now. In a few days the snow crust would be firm enough to trust, and hand in hand they would go down toward Bradleyburg. He would see the joy in their faces, the old luster of which he himself had dreamed in Virginia's eyes.
But it would not flow out to him. The holy miracle would not raise him from the dead. He would serve her to the last, and when at length they saw the roofs and tottering chimneys of Bradleyburg she would go out of his work and out of his life, never to return. In their native city Harold Lounsbury would take his old place. He's have his uncle's fortune to aid him in is struggle for success.
To be plain, I didn't file the claim because it's already filed, and I didn't want to show myself up as a claim-jumper quite as bad as that." "It's all over town about the claim?" "Sure, but there won't be a rush. There's quite a movement over Bradleyburg way for one thing; for another, this is a pocket country, once and for always."
