We travelled some days, rather a roundabout journey, as I have since guessed, and one morning I awoke to find my captors had disappeared, leaving me with my canoe and stores and arms absolutely untouched." "That was a strange adventure, Mr. Stane." "So I think," answered Stane with conviction. "What do you think was the reason for your deportation?" "I do not know," answered Stane thoughtfully.
His assistant being also busy for the moment, Stane turned towards the Indian girl whose liquid eyes were regarding him shyly, and addressed her in her native dialect. "Little sister, why did you run from me yesterday?" The girl was covered with confusion at the directness of his question, and to help her over her embarrassment the young man laughed.
'I believe that's very true, said the postilion. 'So, sir, she grippit him, and clodded him like a stane from the sling ower the craigs of Warroch Head, where he was found that evening; but what became of the babe, frankly I cannot say. But he that was minister here then, that's now in a better place, had an opinion that the bairn was only conveyed to fairy-land for a season.
So in Scotland witches used to raise the wind by dipping a rag in water and beating it thrice on a stone, saying: "I knok this rag upone this stane To raise the wind in the divellis name, It sall not lye till I please againe." In Greenland a woman in child-bed and for some time after delivery is supposed to possess the power of laying a storm.
Ainley watched him in amazement, and then as Stane held the paper towards him, and he bent over it, a look of consternation came on his face, and a quick oath broke from his lips. "God in heaven!" "You had better put that paper in safety, again, Stane," said the policeman quickly. "Ainley recognized it first glance." "It's a lie," cried Ainley. "I've never seen the thing in my life before!"
Crippled Tammy Barr called out in shrill excitement, "Ailie! O-o-oh, Ailie Lindsey, there's the wee doggie!" "Whaur?" The lassie's elfin face looked out from a low, rear window of the Candlemakers' Guildhall at the top of the Row. "On the stane by the kirk wa'." "I see 'im noo. Isna he bonny? I wish Bobby could bide i' the kirkyaird, but they wadna let 'im.
"My camp is just outside the post here." "Then I will come to you tonight, Stane. I shall be late midnight as like as not." "I shall wait for you," answered Stane, and stepped aside. Ainley made a hurried exit, and the man whom he had left, moving to the door, watched him running towards the wharf, where a large Peterboro' canoe had just swung alongside.
"I am not afraid of your whispering it to any one," replied Stane, with a poor attempt at laughter. "Then why not tell me?" she urged. "Because " began the man, and then stopped. The temptation surged up anew within him, the stress of it almost broke down his resolution. Then he cried, almost violently, "No! I cannot tell you now." "Now!" she said, in tremulous laughter. "Now!
If only I could turn back " "Please don't worry about us, Mr. Anderton," interrupted Helen cheerfully. "We shall be all right." "'Pon my word, I believe you will, Miss Yardely," answered the policeman in admiration. He looked down the lake, and then added: "No use my going back. It will only be time wasted. I will say good-bye here. Keep cheerful, old man," he said to Stane.
The space of the window suddenly grew plainer, outlined by a glow outside, and the next moment three blazing armfuls of combustible material were heaved in at the window. Stane fired twice during the operation, but whether he hit or not he did not know. One of the burning bundles fell in the bunk, which was soon ablaze, and the cabin began to fill with smoke.
