Ainley was really anxious to avoid answering your questions, it does not seem to me so inherently improbable as you appear to think." "What convinces you of that, Miss Yardely?" "Well," she replied quickly, "you say the Indian told you that it was an order. I ask myself whose order? There were very few people at Fort Malsun to give orders. I think of them in turn. The factor?
No doubt a little way down the lake he will camp till the storm is over, then make a bee line for Fort Malsun we'll get him as easy as eating toast." "And when we've got him?" "Duty's duty!" answered Anderton with a shrug. "I can't enumerate all the charges offhand; but there's enough to kill Mr. Ainley's goose twice over. Lor', what a whirligig life is. I never thought Hallo! Who's this?
"Better wait a little longer," he said, quietly. "No," she said, "I feel better." She lifted herself into a sitting posture, and he thoughtfully rolled a small sack of beans to support her back, then she looked at him with a quick questioning gaze. "I have seen you before, have I not? You are the man who was at Fort Malsun, aren't you the man whom Mr. Ainley used to know?"
I have no fears on that score; but it will depend on their possession of dogs whether we have to camp here all winter or not; for we could not possibly make Fort Malsun without them, particularly as I do not know the overland trail.
"Well," he explained, "it will be some weeks at least before I can face the trail, and that means that autumn will be on us before we can move. And you have had a little experience of what trailing and packing one's goods in this country means. Even when we are able to start we shall not be able to travel fast, and the nearest point of civilization is Fort Malsun."
Then, acting on impulse, he started to walk towards the watcher, his unmittened hand on the butt of the pistol at his hip. The watching woman made no attempt to escape, but somewhat to Stane's surprise, awaited his coming. As he drew nearer he was again startled to find that it was the girl whom he had talked with at Fort Malsun. "Miskodeed," he cried in surprise. "You! What are you doing here?"
"You were saved from the river, somehow, by that fellow Stane, who was up at Fort Malsun, were you not?" "Yes! How did you know?" "I got his description from a half-breed who had met and hailed you going up the river in a canoe towards Old Fort Winagog." "But we met no half-breed," said Helen quickly, her distrust awakening in full force. "You met no half-breed?"
"No?" he answered sharply. "No!" "Then what does she in thy lodge?" "That is due to an accident. She drifted down to the great river, and I saved her from the water, and started to take her back to Fort Malsun.
On the night after you arrived at Fort Malsun, I was waiting at my tent door for er a man whom I expected a visit from, when I was knocked on the head by an Indian, and when I came to, I found I was a prisoner, under sentence of deportation.
"And if I get to Fort Malsun, do you think I shall escape the winter?" "No, but you will have company." "I have company now," she retorted smilingly, "and believe me I do not feel at all lonely." "I was thinking you would have the factor's wife for " "Pooh!" was the challenging reply. "Do you think a woman cannot live without women?"
