CHAPTER L. HE midnight cun had set, but In a crotch between two snow-peaks it had kindled a vast caldron from which rose a mist of jewels, gar- net and turquoise, topaz and amethyst and opal, all swimming in a sea of molten gold. The glow ofit still clung to the face of the road Yukon, as a flush does to the soft, wrinkled cheek of a girl just roused from deep sicep. ‘Oxcept for a taint murkiness in the air if was still day.

He wondered who she could be. His work had taken him to frontier camps before but he could not place her as a type. The best he could do was to guess that she might be the daughter of some territorial official on her way in to join him. A short thick-set man who had ridden down on the stage with Elliot to Pierre's Portage drifted along the deck toward him.
