If Papineau is home from his trapping he will help me out. But I'll feel all right soon. This is bound to pass off. If I get too tired when I reach Carcajou, Stefan will put me up for the night. It it seems a pity that girl will have to go." He trudged along behind the toboggan.
Ovide camped the second night at a bend of the river, a mile below the foot of the lake. Between him and Dan Scott there was a hill covered with a dense thicket of spruce. By what magic did Carcajou know that Pichou, his old enemy, was so near him in that vast wilderness of white death?
For the trail from Catharines-town is stopped by a Siwanois Sagamore and a Mohican warrior! It is closed by an Oneida Sachem who stand watching. When the Ghost Bear and the Were-Wolf watch, then the whole forest watches with them Loup, Blue Wolf, and Bear. Where, then, can the Forest Cats slink out? Where can the filthy Carcajou escape?" "Mayaro has spoken.
Not that the weather rendered it at all necessary for Pompo so our horse was called to sleep under a roof; but we were fearful lest some beast of prey, prowling about by night, should fancy him as the carcajou had fancied our poor ox. "The stable was only a two days' job as we built it out of logs already cut, and roofed it with the refuse of our clap-boards.
"When we had gone about a mile up-stream, we saw that the trees grew thinner as we advanced, and then opened into small glades, or spaces covered with herbage and flowers, usually called `openings. This, surely, was the very place to find deer much more likely than in the thick woods, where these animals are in more danger from the cougar and carcajou, that occasionally drop upon them from the trees.
The detective will compare this handwriting with that of every man, woman and child in Carcajou and the neighborhood, and while it is certainly disguised, there's so much of it that they will certainly find out who sent them. It it's going to prove devilish tough for somebody, you may be sure.
She turned about, hastily, and nodded to big Stefan. Then she peered at Madge again, with a sidelong look, and left the waiting-room. As so often happens she had imagined this woman who was coming as something entirely different from the reality. She had evolved vague ideas of some sort of adventuress, such as she had read of in a few cheap novels that had found their way to Carcajou.
She must have been rather staggered by his appearance, for she drew back, staring at him and shaking her head in decided disapproval. "'Ow many mile you call heem to de depot at Carcajou," she asked him, with hands on her hips and a severe look on her face. "Why, it's twelve miles to my shack and one more to this place," he answered, dully.
He was himself, Gulo, the wolverine, alias glutton, alias carcajou, alias quick-hatch, alias fjeldfras in the vernacular, or, officially, Gulo luscus. But, by whatever name you called him, he did not smell sweet; and his character, too, was of a bad odor. A great man once said that he was like a bear cub with a superadded tail; but that great man cannot have seen his face.
Get modder quick." She started, her little legs flying over the snow, and Madge closed the door again. She put a little more wood in the stove and sat down by the bunk. The man's eyes were closed again. It was strange that he had heard her so distinctly, and that he had gathered the impression that she wanted to get to Carcajou on her own account. And and he had said he would take her himself.
