Here at last she had a ' clear, damning trace to follow. The secret of John Benhum’'s exploitation of the Fort Edson territory was plain. Her mode of attack was simple and ‘direct. law. And she must act now, while the trading season was at its height. ° Immediately a’ lond seemed shifted ly at last, for ahead lay action. Wrue, there was some strange, crushing weight in her breast which made her curtfously cold and” unfeeling. The John Benham she had known had seemed so clean and fine, yet she was now possessor of knowledge that made him that meanest: and lowest of all] _taortals: a man who traded upon the wenkness of the ‘ignorant and primi- tive. And he was a half-breed. . Feverishly she began her prepara- tions. Her father objected strenuous- ly to what she had in mind,: but she over-rode his objections with firm ‘de- termination. And that evening when the hush of the short night settled down over the river and forest, Ellen Mackny was crouched in the bow of a slender hirch-bark canoe, her face to the north.

Unable to understand the brutishness of their elders, the Jook in their ttle eyes begging mutely for food, their plight was pitiful in the ex- treme, And if they were starving now in the midst of spring and . plenty, what would their future be when the cold, “merciless hand: Of winter. shut down again, © A quick survey and a question or bw urto. which she.vegelved hardly more Than’ A grunt. in. answer, showed Ellen that their. winter's, eateh: of furs was +EORG "These... furs. shad. gone. to pur- chase jfirewater, : When . .they should have heen. traded for food and. blank- ets,’ clothes; ammunition. and other sup- plies .to, carry. the camp “through anoth- er winter. . .
