"Jean, I don't want to hurt your feelings," he said, seating himself on the sledge, "but I've got to get a few things out of my system. I believe this Meleese of yours is a bad woman." Like a flash Croisset struck at the bait which Howland threw out to him. He leaned a little forward, a hand quivering on his knife, his eyes flashing fire.
The younger Howland wished to remain, but would not desert his brother. O. G. Howland was determined to leave the river, and Dunn was with him. I have never met any of the men of this party except Powell and his brother Walter, so I have no other account of the affair than the one just stated, which is from Powell's Report, and is the same that he gave me orally before that Report was printed.
He caught her hands again, startled by the look in her eyes. Quickly she pulled herself away. A dozen feet behind her, in the thick shadows of the forest trees, something took shape and movement. In a flash Howland saw a huge form leap from the gloom and caught the gleam of an uplifted knife.
"We will see you into safety, sir," said Duff, swinging round upon Brand, "either to the Hudson's Bay Company's post, where you can get Indians, or back to Edmonton, but not one step further on this expedition do I go." "Nor I," said Knight. "Nor I," said Fielding. "Nor I," said Barry. "Nor I," said Harry Hobbs. "You are quite right, sir," said Mr. Howland, turning to Barry.
Close to her child she bent, and with a hand laid gently on his clammy forehead, she spoke to him words of comfort and encouragement, while the physician proceeded in the work of bandaging his broken and injured limbs. As for Mr. Howland, he walked the floor with compressed and silent lips, until the physician's work was done.
"I will do my best, sir," replied Howland with a smile that showed his short, strong teeth and made his blue eyes twinkle pleasantly; then returning to the hatchway he called down, "Ho, Alden! You're wanted, man, and so is Gilbert Winslow."
I always inclined to a mysterious murder. But of course you know more of him than you say." She began to cut her peach, but paused above a lifted bit to ask, with a renewal of animation in her expressive eyes: "By the way, had you heard that Howland Wade has been gradually getting farther and farther away from Pellerinism?
But the iron hand was never relaxed, and there was no room beneath it for the crushed heart of the boy to swell with better impulses. At supper time, on that evening, the boy was absent. He should have been at home nearly two hours before. "Where is Andrew?" asked Mr. Howland, as they gathered at the table. "I'm sure I don't know," replied Mrs.
"I'm sorry things have gone badly," replied Howland. He leaned forward until his face was close to his companion's. "Thorne, is there a man up here named Croisset or a girl called Meleese?" He watched the senior engineer closely. Nothing to confirm his suspicions came into Thorne's face. Thorne looked up, a little surprised at the tone of the other's voice. "Not that I know of, Jack.
"I can hear you very well, but I, unfortunately, am a mute." He could not repress the low ejaculation of astonishment that came to his lips, and as his companion lifted her cup he saw in her face again the look that had stirred him so strangely when he stood in the window of the Hotel Windsor. Howland was not a man educated in the trivialities of chance flirtations.
