When we were alone, Todd having departed to make some necessary repairs lo (lie canoe, I asked Joe what be meant by laughing at his elders. "I suppose a boy's foot ain't a man's anyways." remarked Joe innocently, and more he would not say. The BUM was showing over the tree tops when I drew rein by the door of the shack, and at the same moment tame in view of the slim but power ful figure of a young man who was busy rolling some gear into a pack He raised himself and. just as I was about to speak, drawled out: "My! Mr. Quarilch, y»u! Who'd a' thought it?" The young woodsman en me forward with a lazy stride and gave me wel come with a curious gentleness that was one of his characteristics, but which left me in doubt as to its geni ality. I feel that I shall never he able to describe November. Suffice it to say that tbe loose knit bo.r T remembered had developed Into oue of the finest specimens of manhood that, ever grew up among the balsam trees; near six feet tall, lithe and powerful, with t iie>'lt like a column ar.d a straight fea lured face, the sheer good loi>ks of this soil of the woods were disturbing. He was elearl.r nlsti not 'inly the product but the master t>f his environment. "Weil, well, Mr 'juariteb, many's the time I've been thinking of the dr.ys we had with old Tom way up on the Koustik." "They were good days, .lne, weren't they?" "Sure, sure, they were!" "1 hope we shall have some more together." "If it's hunting you waut, I'm glad I you're here, Mr. Quarftch. There's a fine buck using; around by Widdene.v j pond. Maybe we will get a look at 1 him come sunset, for he most always i moves out of the thick bush about: dark.'' Then humor lit a spark in his splendid gray eyes as he looked up at me. "But we'll have a cup o\ tea first." November Joe's (by the way, I ought to mention that bis birth in the month of November had given him his iiurne), as I say, November .loo's weakness for tea had in tbe old days been a target upou which I had oftcu exer cised my faculty for irony and banter The weakness was evidently still alive "I bad hoped to have a hunt with you. November." said I. "Indeed, that is what I came for. and there's nothing I'd like better than to try for your red deer buck tonight, but while I was at Harding's there was a riugup. on the phone, and the provincial police sent through a message for ygn. It appears that a man named Henry Lyon has been shot in his camp at Big Tree portage A lumberman found him and phoned the news Into Quebec. The chief of police wants yon to rake on the case. He told me to say that suc cess would mean SSO "That's too bad.'' said Joe. "I'd sooner hunt a deer than a man any day. Makes a fellow feel less badlike when he comes up with him. Well, Mr. Quarltch. I must be getting off. but. you'll be wanting another guide. There's Charley Paul, down to St. Amlel." "look here. November. I don't want Charley Paul or any other guide but you. The fact of the matter is that Sir Andrew McTyerrick. the ereat dor tor who was out with yon last fall, has told me that I have been overdoing it and must come into the woods for rest. I've three months to put In, and from all I hear of you you won't take three months finding out who murdered I^yon." Joe looked grave. "1 may take more than that." said he. "for maybe T'l! never And out at all. But I'm right pleased, Mr. Quaritch, to hear you can stay so long. There's plenty of grub In my shack, and 1 dare say that 1 shan't be many days gone." "How far Is It to Big Tree portage?" "Five miles to the rirer and eight up It" • "I'd like to go with you."' He gave me one of his quick smiles. "Then I guess you'll have to wait for your breakfast till we are in the canoe. Turn the mare loose. She'll make Harding's by afternoon." .Toe entered the shack and came out again with one or two articles. In Ave minutes he had put together a tent, my sleeping things, food, ammu nition and all necessaries. The whole bundle he secured with his packing strap, lifted It and set out through the woods. CHAPTER 11. The Crime at Big Tree Portage. IHAVfe sometimes wondered wheth er he was not irked at the pros pect of my proffered companion ship nntl whether he did not at first intend to shake me off by obvious aud primitive methods. I had my work, and more than my work, cut out for tue in keeping up with November, who. al though he was carrying a pack while I was unloaded, traveled through the woods at an astonishing pace. He moved from the thighs, bending a 'lttle forward. However thick the un derbrush and the trees, he never once halted or even wavered, but passed on ward with neither check nor pause. Meanwhile'. I blundered in his tracks ontl! at list, when we came out on the !>nnk of a strong and swiftJy flowing river. I was fairly clone and felt that !iad the Journey continued much longer I must have been forced tc give in. A'ovembpr threw down his pack and signed lo me t«> remain beside it, while he walked off downstream, only to re appear with a canoe. The rustle of the water as it hissed against our stem anil the wind In the birches aud junipers on the banks soon lulled me. 1 was only awakened by the canoe touching the bank at Big Tree. Big Tree portage is a recognized camping place situated between the great main lumber camp of Briston and Harpur and the settlement of St. Amiel, and it lies about equidistant from both. A small shelter of boughs stood beneath the spreading branches or a large flr: the ground all about was strewn with tin* and debris. On a bare space In front of the shelter, beside the charred logs of a camp fire, a patch of blue caught my eye. Tills, as my sight grew accustomed to the light, resolved itself into the shape of a huge man. He lay upon his face, and the wind flut tered the blue blouse which he was wearing. It came tipou me with a ihock that I was looking at the body •if Henry Lyon, the murdered man. November, standing up in the canoe, a wood picture in bis buckskin shirt and jeans, surveyed the scene In si lence. then pushed off again anil pad dled up and down, staring at the bank. After a bit lie put in and waded ashore. lu obedience to a sign I stayed in the canoe, from which I watched the movements of my companion. First be went to the body aud examined It with minute care; next he disappeared within the shelter, came out and stood for a minute staring toward the riv er: Anally he called to me to come ashore. I had seen November turn the body over, and as I came up I was aware of a great ginger bearded face, horri bly pale, confronting the sky. It was easy to see how the man had died, for the bullet had torn a hole at the bnse of the neck. The ground beside him was torn up as if by some small sharp instruments. The Idea occurred to me that I would try my hand at detection. I went Into the shelter. There 1 found a blanket, two freshly flayed bearskins and a pack, which lay open. I came ont again and carefully examined the ground In all directions. Suddenly looking up. I saw November Joe watching me with a kind of grim aud covert amusement. "What are you looking for?" said he. "The tracks of the murderer." "He didn't make none." I pointed out the spot where the ground was torn. "The lumberman that found him— spiked boots." said November. "How do you know bo was not the murderer?" "He didn't get here till Lyon had been dead for hours. Compare his tracks with Lyon"#—much fresher. No, Mr. Sport, that cock won't fight. Lyon reached here In the afternoon of the day before yesterday. He'd been visit ing his traps upstream. He hadn't been here niore'n a few minutes aud was lighting his pipe In the shelter there wheu he hears 8 voice hail him. He comes out and sees a man iu a canoe shoved Into the bank. That man shot him dead and cleared off—without leaving a trace." "How can you be sure of all this?" "Because 1 found a pipe of tobacco not rightly lit, but just charred on top, beside Lyon's body, and a newly used match In this shack. The man that killed him come downstream and sur prised him." "How can yon tell he came down stream?" "Because. If he'd come upstream Lyon would 'a' seen him from the shack." said November with admirable patience. "You say the shot was Bred from a canoe?" "The river's too wide to shoot across, and, anyway, there's the mark of where the canoe rested again the bank. No, this is the work of H right smart woodsman, and he's uot left me one clew as to who be Is. But I'm not through with him, mister. Such men as be needs catching—let's boll the kettle." We laid tbs dead man Inside the aback, and sat down beside a fire which we built among tbe atones on the bank of the river. Here November made tea in true woods fashion, draw ing all the strength and bitterness from the leaves by boiling them. I was wondering what he would do next, for it appeared that our chance of catch ing the murderer was infinitesimal, since he had left no clew save the mark on the bank where his canoe had rested among the reeds while he fired bis deadly bullet. 1 put my thoughts into words. "You're right," said November. "When a chap who's used to the woods life takes to crime, he's tinnier to lay hands on than a lynx In a nlder patch." "Wb.v did not the murderer sink Lyon's body In tbe water? It would have been well hidden there." "He couldn't trust her: the current's sharp and would put the dead man ashore as like as not," he replied "And If he'd landed to carry it down to his canoe, he'd have left tracks. And raore'n that, Lyon might 'a' laid in that clearing till he was a 1 skeleton, but for tbe chance of that lumberjack hap pening along. There's one fact you haven't given much weight to. This shooting was premeditated. The inur derer knew that Lyon would camp here. The chances are a hundred to one against their having met by ac cident. The chap that killed hltn fol lowed him downstream. Now. suppose ) con find Lyon's last camp, I may learn something more. Tt. can't be very far off, for be had a tidy sized pack to carry, besides those green skins, which loaded him n bit And. anyway, it's my only chance." So we set out upon our walk. No vember soon picked up Lyon's trail. leadUig from Big Tree portage to a disused fote roid, which again led us due west between the aisles of the for est From midday on through the whole of the afternoon we traveled un til Joe found the deserted camp. The very first thing my eye lit upon caused me to cry out in excitement, for side by side were two beds of bal sam branches that had evidently been placed under the shelter of the same tent cover. November, then, was right, Lyon bad camped with some one on the night before he died. I called ont to him. His qnlet pa tience and an attitude as If rather de tached from events fpll away from him like a cloak, and with almost uncanny swiftness he was maTcing his examina tion of the camp. But I was destined to disappointment, for, as far as I could .«ee, Joe discovered neither clew nor anything unusual. To Be Continued. Foley's Honey and Tar Compound for Croup Croup scares you.

Mr. Owen Davis in writing "What Happened to Mary" embodied in the play a re markable combination of humor and heart interest. In the sense that the play teaches a lesson in human bigness, it may be classed above the so-called problem dramas and yet it's problem is submerged to a great extent in the naturalness that pervades the action. The men and women in the play are of the every day type and the incidents in | the course of the action are happenings! that occur often in real life. This is j one of the plays that can be enjoyed by every member of tlje family, as there is a convincing moral -that all can profit | by.
