Tiven. the great moiling Athabasen River had softened its voice.. When. it first broke theice-ribbed - barriers of winter it had howled, and groaned and ‘roared with release of pent-up power, ernishing ‘and pounding at the shudder- ing ice flocs. But now, the initial bat- tle over with, it had lowered its voice to a crooning. lisping, murmur, ts coppery flood sliding swiftly away to the northward, where, thousands of miles distant, those waters would fin- ally hold endezyous with silent Arctic Sea.

Surging im the j depths of his great chest was a wild ; | haunting happiness, which always ;came to him when the far, dim trails were open and beckoning. His face. ‘bent eagerly to his work, was Jean and hrown, with brow, nose, lips and chin .tleanly and strongly carven. His big flanne? shirt clung. to wide, sloping shonlders und opened nat the front to “disclose a bronzed, pillar-like throat. i Tis hands, weaying cunningly at the “hemp,- were big, strong” and nimble. The tremendnons. virility of the mau .Svened to glow from him like some {strange and powerful current. - Ellen Mackay, standing there on the crest of a sloaping bank,- distinctly sensed the current, It almost fright- ened her, yet it seemed also to awaken 4 nameless, responsive thrill which speeded the beat of her heart and set her pulses. throbbing. _And where she had approached in the first place with i. surety. that verged almost on the ar- romance, she now hesitated, swayed by, u curious timidity. The man was unconscious of her proximity. The song of the river had covered her light-footed approach, His bare head was bent over his work, He yond him, about the remains of a noon fire, sprawled the sleeping forms of his men, while still farther on five great loaded freight scows tugged at. twanging mooring ropes and: shifted to and fro; as if they. also knew the call of spring and were eager to storm -[the far leagues of the lonely lauds, Ellen Mnekay coughed and was sud- denly furious. with herself to find that it had been a most apologetic enngh.
