She thought of Bert Stringer and her fingers curled angrily in her palms. “Cleve,” she said brokenly, “you—you—what were we think- ing of last night? We could have asked those Cree to help us. Now it’s too late.” “They did help us wtih food.” “TI don’t mean that.” “What do you mean exactly?” Penny spread out her hands ap- pealingly to him. “Let’s not pre- tend any more. You can’t go on, Cleve. It’s impossible.” “Then what can I do? Stay here and rot?” “Cleve,” she said, “if we can persuade those Indians to take you in and look after you, I can go for help.” “Where?” : “To the river. Some boat will be sure to come along.” “What about Bill?” Penny’s brow puckered. “He'll have to wait, I guess.” af @Nvietad heavens, Penny, do you know what you're saying? For all we know, a delay might prove fatal to Bill.” There was no ariswer to that. Penny felt desperately lonely and inadequate. She was faced with two emergencies, and no way of knowing which was the greater. If only there were some means of finding out which one needed her the most—Cleve or Bill. But there wasn’t. Penny went over to Cleve and put her head dgainst his. “Oh, Cleve,” she said, in an agony of uncertainty, “I’m think- ing of Bill, He’s never out of my mind. But I’ve got you to con- sider now, too.” “No need to.” His hand groped up to her cheek. “Cleve—Cleve.” she whispered.
