She felt full of optimism. Her disappointment at not seeing Bill was assuaged by knowing he was being taken care of. No one more reliable than a Mounty. she’d heard.

Everything would be all right. Cleve, too, would recover and they would push on together to Fort St John.

Bert Stringer stood in the door- way. Penny couldn’t. speak. Her throat went dry. She moistened “her lips. He moved forward, watery eyes, blinking. “Surprised to see | me? “Of—of course.” “Or,” he said, “would ‘shocked’ express it better? “Possibly.” HE put his big hands on the table and leaned across it, thin lips laughing crookedly. “You know,” he said, “strikes me your gentleman friend isa mite careless with his girl friends. Letting them roam around the wilderness alone like this.” “I_I'm not alone.” “Practically.” It came to Penny chillingly that this was so.

Behind Penny, the tea boiled over, hiss- ing, on the stove. “Careful there,” said Bert Stringer. “TI like my breakfast done just so.” “You'll get no breakfast here,” retorted Penny. Leisurely, he drew up a chair and sat down across the table, stretching his legs out. “I reckon you're forgetting you owe me a meal, Miss Vance. Re- member? You two came wander- ing in to my camp like a couple of starving scarecrows that night. And did I turn you away?” “You treated us with great consideration,” said Penny bit- terly. “Mr. Rockwell is stil, cher- ishing what you gave hi “Now, Miss Vance,” Stringer, with a show of regret *T’'m sorry about that, Honestly.

But when everything was feady, still Marie had not come. “Ta better go call my—com- panion,” said Penny finally. “I wouldn't bother,” said Bert | Stringer casually. He reached for several strips of bacon, helped himself to some baked beans. Something in his manner filled Pe:xny with apprehension. She darted past him to the door. “Marie—Marie!” she called. Bert Stringer got up to slide in front of her, one muscular arm barring the exit. “No use to holler,” he said. “She’s gone.” Penny swallowed. “You’: re lying!” “NOE. Not at the moment, sweetheart.
