But we ought to take a nearer view of these wonderful conditions. A convenient point of approach will be just east of Banff, Alberta, near Kananaskis Station, where the Fairholme Mountain has been described by R.G. McConnell of the Canadian Survey.
Then Cameron narrated to Jerry the story of his recent interview with Crowfoot. "So I don't think," he concluded, "any Blackfeet will come. Copperhead and Running Stream are going to be sold this time. Besides that the Police are on their way to Kananaskis following our trail. They will reach Kananaskis to-night and start for Ghost River to-morrow.
MacDavid re-lit his pipe and puffed thoughtfully awhile. "Eyah," he remarked reminiscently, "feller does run up against some swift propositions now an' again. I mind one time I was headin' home from Kananaskis, an' a bear jumped me from behind a fallen log. The lever of me rifle jammed so, all I could do was to beat it in a hurry an' I sure did hit th' high spots, you bet!
We ought to get Copperhead between us somewhere on the Ghost River trail and we must get him to-day. Where will he be now?" Jerry considered the matter, then, pointing straight eastward, he replied: "On trail Kananaskis not far from Ghost Reever." "Will he be that far?" inquired Cameron. "He would have to sleep and eat, Jerry." "Non! No sleep hit sam' tam' he run."
"Cache grub many place sometam come good." "Great head, Jerry. Now, where is the cache?" "Halfway Kananaskis to Ghost Reever." "Then, Jerry, we must make that Ghost River trail and make it quick if we are to intercept Copperhead." "Bon! We mus' mak' beeg speed for sure." And "make big speed" they did, with the result that by midday they struck the trail not far from Jerry's cache.
Where is it?" "Nord from Bow Reever by Kananaskis half day to Ghost Reever bad trail small leetle reever ver' stony ver' cold beeg tree wit' long beard." "Long beard?" "Yes long, long gray moss lak' beard ver' strange place dat from Ghost Reever west one half day to beeg Manitou Rock no trail.
Good-by, old man." A day's ride brought Cameron to Kananaskis, where the Sun Dance Trail ends on one side of the Bow River and the Ghost River Trail begins on the other. There he found signs to indicate that Jerry was before him on his way to the Manitou Rock.
Beeg medicine-dance dere see heem once long tam' 'go leetle boy me beeg medicine Indian debbil stay dere Indian much scare' only go when mak' beeg tam' beeg medicine." "Let me see if I get you, Jerry. A bad trail leads half a day north from the Bow at Kananaskis to Ghost River, eh?" Jerry nodded. "Then up the Ghost River westward through the bearded trees half a day to the Manitou Rock?
Working carefully and painfully for half an hour, and avoiding the trail by the Ghost River, they made their way out of hearing of the camp and then set off at such speed as their path allowed, Jerry in the lead and Cameron following. "Where are you going, Jerry?" inquired Cameron as the little half-breed, without halt or hesitation, went slipping through the forest. "Kananaskis," said Jerry.
