1 listened to No ember making this
iis!.uilii:iir statement. nv.il I hoped I
showed in surprise. What n earth
was the game that he was playing?
Hurry up. Iv.ys. and send f,-r the
! Hce or there mav ! trouble. Who's
going?"
"I don't mind if 1 go." offered Oris
"I'll start right now. The snorcr we
get Mr.-C!.ic safe in jail T lit- bettor."
Wo all suv Chris off. and then the
n on took ii hack into the bunk house,
where they talked ri7'l argued for nn
li-'tir. November ha I relapsed into
his uu:i! taciturnity. Cut when at
length he spoke again Iiis words n ioii
like a bomb-hcil.
"Say. boys." h- said, and the ea
l'':i' f f Li-; :!T-iit vu very maiked.
"it's about time v.e lt the boss out."
Every Lead b.ked round in his !i
r-ti-.'U. "Lit him out?" shouted a
dozen volt's. "Before the police
come?"
"l; st so." replied November in his
gentle manner. "Yn'.i set', it wn n't liiiu
held yon up. boys."
"Who was it ile-n:"
November l up.
"'"i!ii av.l I'M show you."
Finally fi:r of us l..;ml-il the lis
caiioo ar.d set off.
I lost all sor.se of direction in the
darkness until we came out on the
banks of til." brook near Tides, .u
bridge. We crossed, and sill four of us
crouched in the shadow of a big rk
l t twenty yi.rds fr..ni the hut. We
had heen forewarned l.y Nowmber to
keep very quh t at:d to waf-h the hut.
The p.ale- f -relights of dawn v.-ere
already in the air when I felt Novem
ber more slightly, and a moment late:
I heard a siict break, then footfalls on
the bridge. A 1 ui.-li shadow came
eautiou-ly down tie- hank, hesitating
at every ste:. tut always a; -proa, bit.g
the but. until at I.i-t it j'af.-ed within
it. Then n mat-h flared inside. 1
saw it pass the hroken window. Then-
nas a pause. Th" r .'-reakeJ faint
ly and the Centre H"!o out again.
I put out r.'y hands toward Novem
berhe was g.n".
Meantime the figure frm the hut
was moving i:; the path to the road
and a second figure was gaming ou
hiv.i. I re'-ecnized No
veu.her'.s niisrhtv
or:tI:iies as he fo-'oved with arms out
Mietehed. Then the arms fell, and
there was p. . ry. aln-.-t a shriek.
When we ran uy Novemher wn hold
ing liris strurelatu' on the ground.
"Search liiiu. hoys." said Novemher.
"lie's p.t tle stuT on him."
Thonipsoti's hiir hand dived int- the
lireast of Chris" shirt and when it
oiiffi" out apain it hold a hiindie cf
liofes.
"Von Kmart cuss!" said Chris to No
vember ,Trve.
A few l.usy hoai' followed, and it
was the next .".Iteruoou hefore I found
myself aain at November's shanty
and a-l ed for iho explanations "which
had been pro:nis"d n:e.
"The mon:er.t I heard Thompson's

CHAPTER VI h
The "Pink rJecker."
OH eat in silence for some ten
minutes after he hnd poi.e; then
he rose and hean to lead awaj
poutheast.
"Evar.s 'ill hear Yal Clack's the
owner of the pink necker at Layette
village. It's an otter's to a musk
rat's pelt tiiat then he'll head straiebt
for Val's. We've pot to be there afore
him."
Tbe nftrrnoon was yet youue when
we arrived at Vn! I'daek'a. Vnl was
toot at hone. but -loe entered the hus
aud searched It thoroughly. I askcu
him what he was seekins.
-Those skins of Sally's."
Then you tbink Black"
"I tbink nothing yet. And here's the
ronn himself, anyway"
He turned to tbe door as Yal Clack
came swinging np tbe trail. lie was
of middle height, strongly built, with ,
quick eyes and dark hair which, j
though cropped close, still betrayed its I
tendency to curl, fie greeted Nov em- j
ber warmly. November was, I thought, j
even more slow spoken than usual.
"Yah" he said, after some ta'k.
"hsvc you stiil got tbnt pink necker
Sally knitted for youi"
"Yes. I've cot her."
J "Wlfere?
I! "Iii-ht h
here," nr.3 Black pulled the
muClcr out of tiis pocket.
Hah!" said .loe.
There was a si'enep. rather a strain
ed silence. tetween the two.
Then November continued. "Where
was you last night?"
Ya! looked narrowly at Joe. Joe re
turned his stare.
"Say, November Joe, are you search
ing for trouble?" asked I'iack In an
ominously quiet voice.
"Seems as if trouble wns searching
for me." replied November.
There was another silence Then
Val Jerked out. "I call your hand."
"I show it." said Joe. "Youre sus
pected of rohbinz Sally's traps this
month back. And you're suspected of
entering Sally's house last evening
and stealing pelts."
With a shout of rage Yal made at
Joe.
November stood quite still under the
grip of the other's furious hands.
"You act innocent, don't you. you old
coyottel" he grinned ironically. "1
never said I suspected you."
Clack drew off. looking a little fool
ish, but he Cared up again.
"Who i it suspects me?"
"Just Eva is. And he's got good evi
dence. Where was you between 0 and
7 last night?"
"In the woods. I come back and
slop here."
"Was you alone?"
"Yes.""
"Then you can't prove no alibi." Joe
paused.
It was at this moment that Evans,
accompanied by two other forest ran
gcrs. appeared upon the scene. Quick
as lightning he covered Ciack with bis
shotenn.
"Up with your hands." he cried, "or
I'll put this load of birdshot into your
face."
I'.iack scowled, but his hands went
up. He stood pa.ntins At a sin one
of the rnncers sidled up. and the click
of haudeu.Ts followed.
"What am I charged with';" cried
Ciack.
"Hobbery."
'You'll pay me for this. Sbuon Ev
an:"
"It won't be for awl.i'e not till they
lot you out u'.ain." retorted the war
den easily. "Take him oil up the trail.
r.iii:"
Tlie ranzers walked away with their
prisoner, ai d Evans turned to Joe.
"Cuoss 1 have the laugh of you, No
vember." he said.
"Looks that way. Where you takin
him?"
"To Lnvette. I've sent word to Mrs
Hone to come there tomorrow. And
now." continued Evans, "I'ru going to
search Clack's shack."
"What for?"
"The stolen pelts."
"Got a warrant';''
"I'm u warden don't need one."
"You'd not search without It," said
November, movimr in front of the door.
"Who'll top me';' Evans' chin shot
out docgod'y.
"I inicht." said Joe la his rnost gen
tle manner. "I'm iu the right, for it'3
agin the law, anl you know it, Mr
Evans."
Evuns hesitated- "Have it your way.
but I'll be back with my warrant be
fore sunup tomorrow, and I'm war
den, and maybe you'll lind it's better
to have me for a friend than"
"Huh! Sr.y, Mr. Quaritch. have yon
a tiil of that light baccy o' yours? 1
want soothiii'."
As se en as Evans was out of sight.
Joe beckoned me to a thick piece of
scrub not far from the hut.
Stay rii.ht here tiil I come back.
Everything depends on that, he whis
per ed.
1 lav down at my case In a sheltered
spot, and then
sue an-
lso took the rond
for Lnvette. Everything appeared tu
be against Clack the cartridge which
tilted his rilie, the? strands of the tell
tale neckerchief, the man's own fu
rious behavior, his manifest passion
for Mrs. Cone, and the suggested nio
live f r the thefts all these things
jointed, conclusively it seemed to me.
In one direction. And yet I knew that
almost from the beginning of the in
quiry November had decided that Clack
was innocent.
The evening turned raw. and the thin
snow was softening, and though I was
weary of my watch I was still dream
ing when I started under a hand that
touched my shoulder. Joe was crouch
ing at my side. lie warned me to cau
tion, but I could not refrain from a
question as to where he had been.
"Down to the store at Iivette." he
whispered. "I was talking about that
search warrant pretty hich handed I
said it was, and the boys agreed to
that."
After awhile Joe touched me to wake
fulness, and 1 saw something moving
on the trail below us. A second or two
of mo. n'ight gave me a glimpse of tbe
approaching hgure of a man. a hump
ed figure that moved swiftly. A whis
tle. No answer. And its hand went
to the late'i. 1 heard Joe sigh as be
covered the man with his rifle. Then
en-re bis voi'-Li jn p;S q-jjet tones.
"Cues? the game's off. Sylvester
ron't turn! Hands up!"
The lean stood still as we came be
hind L'.li. At a word he faced round.
I saw the high check boi-.es and gloam
ing eyes of an Indian. His savage face
was contracted with animosity.
"Now. Mr. Quaritch," said Novem- !
!or suggestively. j
I tiatter myself I rcada a neat job
of tying up our prisoner. J
"Thank you. What's in that bundle ,
on his buck?"
J opened it. Several skins dropped '
out. Joe examined them. "All got
Sally's mark on." he said. "Say. Mr. :
(Jus ritch. let me Introduce you to a
pretty mean thief."
I noticed that Joe took our prisoner
along it a tood puce toward Lavette.
?rter hTnTTe or two. "however, "he asked
me to go ahead and If 1 met with Mrs.
Cone to make ber wait his arrival, but
he added in an aside. "Tell her noth
ing about Sylvester."
1 reached the village soon after
dawn, but already the people were
gathered at the store, where every
one was discussing the case.
As I heard nothing of Mrs. Rene, I
set out toward her house. When I
met her I noticed that her gentle face
wore a changed expression. I deliv
ered my message.
"I'll never speak to November again
as long as I liveT' she said with deep
vindictiveness. "November's played
double with me. I'll show him!"
1 walked beside her in silence, and
jut before we came In sight of the
houses we met with Joe alone. He
had evidently, left Sylvester in safe
custody. Joe glanced from Sally to
me. I read understanding in his eyes.
We've got him trapped safe. Sally.
Not a hole for him to slip out by."
Sally's rage broke from her eontroL
"You're just too cute. November Joe."
she blazed, "with your tracking and
finding out things and putting Yal in
jail! What do you say to It that I've
been fooling you all the time? I never
lost no pelts! I only said it to get the
h.ugh against ye. Ye was beginning
to believe ye could bear the muskrata
sneezing!"
"Is that so?" Inquired Joe gently.
"Yes. and I'm going Into Lavette
this ininute to tell them!"'
Joe stepped in front of her. "Just
as you like. Sally. Cut how'Il ye ex
plain these?" He Cung open the bun
dle of skin he carried.
Mrs. Cone turned color. "Where dlJ
ye tind them?" she gasped-
"On his back."
She hesitated a moment, then. "1
gave Yal that lot." she said carelessly.
"That's queer, now," said Joe. "cos
it was on Injin Sylvester 1 found
them."
Sallv stared at Joe, then laughed
"Guess the game's off. Don't turn!
Hands up!"
suddenly, excitedly. "Ou. Joe. you're
sure tbe cutest man ever made In this
world.'" And with that she flung her
arms round his neck and kissed him.
"I'd best pass that on to Yal Black!"
said Joe calmly.
And Sally's blushes were prettier
than you could believe.
There is no need for me to tell bow
Clack wa.s liberated from the bands
of the crestfallen Evans, who was as
nonplussed as I myself had been at
the breakdown of the case, which up
to the last moment had on the face of
it seemed Indestructible.
I have never looked forward to any
explanation more than that which
November gave to Mrs. Kone, Clack
and myself tbe same evening.
"It was the carcass of Eizpab give
me the first start." said Joe. "As soon
as I saw that I knew it weren't Yal."
"Why?" asked Sally.
"You remember it was hacked np?
Now bore was the case ud to that: A
thief bad robbed Sally, and all tbe
sign he left behind was a few threads
of his necker and an English made
cartridge. Tbe thief goes out. and old
Rir.pah attacks him. lie shoots ber.
Then he cuts her body nigh to pieces.
Why?" YVe all shook our heads.
"Cecause be wants to get his bullet
out of her. And why does he want to
get his bullet? Only one possible rea
son. Cecause it's different to the bul
let ho dropped on purpose in tbe
house."
'I'.v Jove!" I cried.
"From that it all fits in It seems
funny th?;t the thief should drop a
cartridge, funnier still that he should
not notice he'd left a bit of his necker
stuck to the nails on the door. Still.
I'd allow them two things infght hap
pen. Cut when it came to his having
more bits of his necker torn off by
the spruces where Evans found them,
it looked like as if the thief was a
uagmy poor wooasman. nicu ue
wasn't He hid his tracks good anl
cunning. After that I guessed I was
on tbe right scent, but 1 wasn't plumb
sure till I come np to the place where
he killed tbe partridge. While he was
snaring it he rested his rifle ag'iu a
tree. I saw the mark of tbe butt on
the ground nml tbe scratch from tbe
foresight upon the bark. Then 1 knew
he didn't carry nj English riCe."

""IJow did you know";" asked Sally.
"I could measure its length agin the

Val's fist came down on the table.
"Dully for you. Joe!"
"Well. now. there was one more
thing. Cesides that black fox. S :i!y

Cone impatiently.
"When Mr. Quaritch and I came to
Val's shack we searched it- Nothing
there. Why? Cos Yal had been home
r.ll night and Sylvester couldn't get In
without wakiu' him."
"Cut." said L. "wasn't there a good
case against Clack without that?"
"Yes. there was a ease, but his con
vtcti'on wasn't an absolute cinch. On
the other hand. If the stolen skins
was found hid in his shack That's
wliy you bad to lie in tlmt brush so
ioug. Mr. (juariteh, while 1 wer.t in to
Lavette and spread it around that tbe
shack hadn't been searched by Evans.
Sylvester was at tbe store, nnd be fell
into the trap right enough. We wait
ed for him. and we got him."
"O course." continued Joe. "revenge
cn Yal weren't Sylvester's only game.
He meant robbin" Sally, too. and had
his plan Inid. He must V gone to
Val's and stole a cartridge and the bits
of necker before he robbed Sally's
house. Last night he started out to
leave a few cheap pelts at Val's, but
he had the black fox skin separate in
his pack with a bit o" tea and flour
aud tobacco, so if we hadn't took him
he'd have lit out iuto Maine an' sold
the black fox pelt there."
"Cut why should Sylvester have
such a down ou Val?"
Joe laughed. "Ask Yal!"
"Ten years ago." said Yal, '"when
we wa.s both rising twenty year, I
gave Sylvester a thrashing he'd likely
remember. He had a dog what weren't
no use, and he decided to shoot it So
be did. but he didn't kill it. He shot
it far back and left it in the woods,
and 1 come along"
"Tbe brute!" exclaimed Sally.
"lie's a dangerous Injin." said No
vember, "and he's of a breed that
uevcr forgets."
"When he gets out of prison you'll
have to keep awake. Joe." said Val.
"When be gets out I'll have tbe snow
in my hair ail right and you and Sally
will be old married lolks." retorted
Joe. "You'IJ sure be tired of each other
by then."
Sally looked at Val, and Joe caught
the look.
"Leastways." he added, "you'll pre
tend you are botter'n you do now."
We all laughed.
