He pronounced the wound probably fatal. The young girl is named Christina Jansen; she sings under the stage-name of Christina Carlson, and is the daughter of Carl Jansen, living at the place named. Inquiry at the theater showed her to be a girl of good character, very much esteemed by her acquaintances, and greatly admired as a very brilliant singer.
"It's a race between Conchs and Yankees," said Jan Jansen to Mark. "What are Conchs?" asked the boy. "Why, those fellows in the other boats. Most of them come from the Bahama Islands, and all Bahamians are called 'Conchs, because they eat so many of the shell-fish of that name." "Well, I'll bet on the Yankees!" cried Mark. "So will I," said the Swede.
Every man except one had given up hope that he might win her; and though he had been gone from Jansen for two years, and had loved her since the days before the Playmates came and went, he never gave up hope, and was now to return and say again what he had mutely said for years what she understood, and he knew she understood. Tim Denton had been a wild sort in his brief day.
Whether he knew of the existence of this spring, or whether he chanced upon it, he did not say; but while he held Jansen in the palm of his hand, in the feverish days that followed, there were many who attached mysterious significance to it, who claimed for it supernatural origin.

"One up and t'other down, I'll take them all," observed Jemmy, expanding his chest. "Yes, but they'll all be down upon you at once, Jemmy."
Some woman's instinct drove straight to the centre of a disconcerting possibility, and in consternation she told her husband; and Jansen husbands had a freemasonry of gossip. An hour, and all Jansen knew, or thought they knew; and the "saved" rejoiced; and the rest of the population, represented by Nicolle Terasse at one end and Flood Rawley at the other, flew to arms.
Meydon, Father Bourassa, and Finden stood in the little waiting-room of the hospital at Jansen, one at each window, and watched the wild thunderstorm which had broken over the prairie.
When we entered she looked for an instant at the miserable, dejected little creature, and I saw a shudder run through her frame, and then she closed her eyes. "'Miss Jansen, said the chief of police, 'be kind enough to say whether or not this is the man who tried to kill you. "I handed her the tablet and pencil. She wrote a few words. I handed it to the chief.
Claremont a straggling village of no moment; further on the road crosses the Roeloff Jansen Kill over a bridge that looks as though it must have heard the rumble of many a stage coach.
