But all at once Francois Breault sprang back to the door, and he cried: 'Jan Thoreau, I am mad mad! Great God, what have I done? Yes, he said that, m'sieu, those very words and then he was gone." "And that same day a little later Jan went away from the cabin, and was gone a long time," whispered Blake. "Was it not so, Marie?" "Yes; he went to his trap-line, m'sieu."
"What do you think my cabin is, Breault a Rest for Homeless Outlaws?" Breault grinned. It was an odd sort of grin, and Jolly Roger caught it over his shoulder. When he returned from dumping his load, Breault said: "You see, we know this Jolly Roger fellow is spending the winter somewhere up here. And Cassidy says there is a girl down south " Jolly Roger's face was hidden in the tunnel.
The delicious odor of it demoralized his senses and his caution. For a few seconds he resisted, then thrust himself out toward it an inch at a time, made a sudden grab, and swallowed it at one gulp. Breault laughed outright, and with the first of the sun striking into his face he did not look like an enemy to Peter.
" who would like to see him," finished Breault. When McKay turned toward him the Ferret was carelessly lighting his pipe. "I remember Cassidy told me about this girl," said Jolly Roger. "He said some day he would trap this this man through the girl. So if I happen to meet Jolly Roger McKay, and send him back to the girl, it will help out the law. Is that it, Breault?
The Leaf Bud saw him pass like a shot out into the night, but as he went she made no effort to call him back, for her ears were wide open as Breault repeated his question, "Where is McKay, Father?" Peter heard the man-hunter's voice from the darkness outside. For barely an instant he paused, picking up the fresh scent of Nada and Jolly Roger.
And yet, even in this hour of supreme happiness that held him half mute, there was always lurking in the back of his brain a thought of Breault, the Ferret. In the star dusk of evening the time came when he spoke his fears to Father John.
He knew that Pierre Breault was a brave man, or he would not have perched himself alone out in the heart of the Barren to catch the white foxes; and he was not superstitious, like most of his kind, or the sobbing cries and strife of the everlasting night-winds would have driven him away. "I swear it!" repeated Pierre. Something that was almost eagerness was burning now in Philip's face.
Yet Breault, even as he coughed the red stain from his lips, was not afraid. Many times he had found himself in the presence of death, and long ago it had ceased to frighten him. Some day he had expected to come under the black shadow of it himself not in a quiet and peaceful way, but all at once, with a shock. And the time had come. He knew that he was dying; and he was calm.
Her eyes were shining when he had finished, and her red lips were a-tremble with the quickness of her breathing. "Some day you'll take me there," she whispered. "Oh, I'm so proud of you, my Roger. And I love Yellow Bird. And Sun Cloud. Some day we'll go!" He nodded, happiness overshadowing the fear of Breault that had grown in his heart. "Yes, we'll go.
"It means, precious little wife, that Father John is hurrying to the post to get news of Breault if he can. It means that deep in his heart he wants us to follow Yellow Bird's advice to the end.
