The very Mr-t th.in my eye lit upon eritisod I!'V to (.TV i ;.: ill t e;t lilel.t. for side l y side were tv.o l. :i of bal sam branches that had evide:,t!y been i'la-ed under the shelter tf tLv same tout cover. Noveivber, th-ui. was ripl.t, Lyon had camped v. ith st.io cue on the iii-rht before le- d.ed. I ca'l- d out to him. TV." quiet pn-tieic-e and an attitud" as if rather de tached from events fell away from him like a cloak, and with almost uncanny swiftness he was makinp hi examina tion of the crimp. Hut I was destined to disappointment, for, as fur rs 1 could see. Joe discovered neither clew nor anything nr. usual. To becrin with, he took up and sifted throucli the layers cf balsam boutrbs which bad composed the beds, but ap parently made no find. From tm ho turned quick! v to kneel down by thr rshy remains ef the fire nr.d to ex amine the charred b'tr-s one by one. After that he followed a well marked trrdl that led away from the lake to a small ninrsh in the farther part of which masts of dead timber were standing in preat profusion. Nearer t hand a number of stumps showed where the campers had chopped the wood for their lire. After looking closely at these stumps November went swiftly back to tho camp and spent the next ten minutes in following the tracks which led in all directions. Then once more he came back to the fire and methodically hftld off one charred stick after an other. At the time I could not imagine why be did this, but when I under stood it the reason was tdmplc and ob vious as was that of Lis every action when once it was explained. Uefore.inen Jeave camp tbry seem Instinctively to throw Mich triCes as they do not "require or wish to cany or w ith them in the lire, which is general ly expiring, for n first axiom of the true camper in the woods is never to l"ave Ids' tire sL'crht behind 1dm in case of a chance ember starting a forest conflagration. In..this case November Lad takejnog bifiipsketfi F i. ' r-V.i-- hi "Why did rot the murderer sink Lyon's bedy in the water?" nearly every bit of wood before I heard him u:?er a smothered exclama tion a- he h.-ld up a piece of stick. I took it into my own bands and l ol.e! it over. It was charred, but I srw that on" end had been split and the other end sharpened. "What in the world i it'" I asked. piiru'.led. Novom'ier smiled. ".Tiis-t evidence," he answered. I was glad ho had at last found si acthintr to go upot;. fo-, so far. the eau-.p had appt a rod t produce parsi ni'.in i;s!y little that was suggestive. Nevertheless. I did rot see how this lut'e bit of spruce, crudely fashioned a 'id split as it w as. would lead us very far. :..ic':,ber s; en: another few min ;: ; i x It: look!' -t e ery;hii.:r over a sec ond tin;", then he to.,1. up his ax and spiit a couple of h-j and lit the tire. t ivcr it h" htn.g his inevitable kettle and ! Med up the leaves of our morn ing b v- with a liberal handful fresh ly adhd. "VYc;;." I sj.jd. as ho touched the end of a burning ember to his pipe, "has this camp helped you'" '.some," said November. "And you?'' II put the question quite seriously. ;! e,::gh I suspect not without some in v. aid ir.u.y. "I can so., tha tv men slept tinker p at cover, that Ihey cut the wood fer their tiro j:i that marsh we visited and that they were here for a day. orhaps two." : o was here fer throe days, the orhor o;:e night." corrected November. "II .w can you tell that':" November p. .?:! to the ground at the far si le of tho tire. "To bet; in with. N. j Jiad Ms camp pit led ov.-r there." said he: then, see ing my look of perplexity, he added pityingly : "H'.'ve a westerly wind these hist two days, but before that the wind was east, and he camped the first night with his back to it. And in the now camp one bod o" boughs is fresher than tho other." The thing pconied so absurdly ob vious that 1 was io tiled. "I suppose there are other indications 1 Lav. -n't noticed." 1 said. "There might be some you haven't mentioned." lie answered, warily. "YVnat are they?" "That the man who killed Lyou is thi-.-N. set and verv str.cig; that he Las I ecu a good while in the woods with out ha' hig gone- to a settlement; that he owns a blunt hateiiei sie-b as we . o'id chaps call ttuua lia wk " No. o;' that ho kiiied a i::' -': last week; that he cm read: that he spent the night before the murder in gteat trouble of mind and that, likely Le was a religious kind v" chap." As November reeled off these detsil3 in Lis quiet, low keyed voice I stared at Lim in amazement. "T.ut Low can )ou have, found out all that?" I said at hist. "If it's correct it's wonderful I" I "II toll you. if you want to bear, when I've got my mau if I ever do get him. One thing nio'e is sure, be is a chap w ho knew Lyou well Tk rest tf the job lies in tho settlement of St. Ainii'!. where Lyon lived." W'c walked back to lbg Tree portage and from there ran down in the canoe to St. Amiel. arriving the following evening. About half a mile short of tin settlement Novenuor landed and set up our camp. Afterward we went on. I had never before visited the place, and I found it t le a little col ony of scattered Louses straggling be side the river. It possessed two stores and one of ihe smallest churches I Lave ever seen. "Hu can help me Lore if you will," said November s, we paused before the larger of the stores. "Of course I will. How?" "Uy letting 'cm think you've engaged nie as your guide, and we've come in to St. Amiel to Miy some grub and gear we've rim short of." "All right." And -with this arrange nier.t we entered the More. I will not make any attempt to de scribe by what roundabout courses of talk November learned all the news of desolate little St. Amiel and of the surrounding countryside. The provin cial police had evidently found means to close Uie mouth of the lumberjack for iiie June ut ieust, t.s do Jiint of 1 jr f 1 ft, 1 J. 4 fe& fW I Ljous death bad jet drifted back to i Lis native place. ) Little by little it came out that onlv j five men were absent from the settle ; ment. Two of tlie.se. I'itz and Baxter i Gurd. were brothers who had Roue on an extended trapping esjeditiou. The other absentees were Ilighainaou. Lyon's father-indaw; Thomas Miller, a professional puide and hunter, and. lastly. Henry Lyou himself, who had gone up river to visit his traps, start ing on the previous Friday. The other men Lad all been away three weeks or more, and all had started in canoes, except Lyou. who. having sold his. went on foot. Next, by imperceptible degrees, the talk slid round to the subject of Lyon's wife. They had been married four years and had no child. She had been the belle of St. Auiiel. and there had been no small competition for her hand. Of the absent men both Miller and Fitz Curd had been her suitors, and the former and Lyon had never been on Rood terms since the marriage The younger Gurd was a wiid fellow, and only his brother's influence kept him straight.
