A second time the deadly-looking little gun was pointed straight at Pelly's heart. The half-smile was gone from the girl's lips now. Her eyes blazed a deeper fire. She was breathing quickly, and she leaned a little toward Pelly, repeating her command. The words were partly drowned in a sudden crash of thunder. But Pelly understood. He saw her lips form the words, and half heard,
He was alone until the first cold, gray break of dawn. Then he stopped, gave each of the dogs a frozen fish, and with the fuel on the sledge built a small fire. He scraped up snow for tea, and hung the pail over the fire. He was frying bacon and toasting hard bannock biscuits when Pelliter aroused himself and sat up. Billy did not see him until he faced about. "Good morning, Pelly," he grinned.
He placed Little Mystery on one of the bunks and faced the other with a puzzled loko in his eyes. "I wish you hadn't been in a fever on that day of the fight, Pelly," he said. "He must have said something something that would give us a clue." "Mebbe he did, Billy," replied Pelliter, looking with a shiver at the few things MacVeigh had placed on the cabin table.
It was an hour later when he returned, just in time to see Kent's door open again. Doctor Cardigan and Father Layonne reappeared first, followed in turn by the blonde stenographer, the magistrate, and Constables Pelly and Brant. Then the door closed.
On the Riviere aux Liards the Hudson's Bay Company have several posts as Forts Simpson, Liard, and Halkett the last-mentioned being far up among the mountains. Westward again, upon the Pacific side, they have other trading stations the most important of which is that of Pellyss Banks, situated at the junction of Lewis and Pelly rivers.
But the thing did eventually become plain to me, so plain indeed that it would have caused me to give up my French window and writing-table and migrate once more, but for certain considerations outside my own personal comfort. That Mrs. Pelly consumed far more gin than was good for her became apparent to me during my first week, if not my first day, in Howard Street.
And then, without turning from the window, his hand found Fingers' and clasped it tight. "It may be that mine, like yours, will never come true. But they're fine to think about, Fingers. Funny, isn't it, that their names should be so strangely alike Mary and Marette? I say, Fingers " Heavy footsteps sounded in the hall. Both turned from the window as Constable Pelly came to the door of the cell.
"There's no use of feeling your pulse any more, Pelly. The fever's got you. You're sure out of your head." He spoke cheerfully, trying to bring a smile to the other's pale face. Pelliter dropped back with a sigh. "No there isn't any use feeling my pulse," he repeated. "It isn't sickness, Bill not sickness of the ordinary sort. It's in my brain that's where it is.
The Yukon, like many other great rivers of the world, comes into being a lusty, vigorous infant, the junction of the Lewis and Pelly making it a stream of considerable proportions from the moment it takes its name. Other gold-hunters were seen from time to time, and there were pleasant exchanges and greetings with most of them.
