He was glad when It came tlmo for cigars, and Eileen excused i herself. Ho opened tho door for her, "-and told her that he probably would not seo her again until morning, as ho had an important cngugement for tho evening. She gave him nor hand, and for a moment he lelt tlio clinging of her fingers about his own. "Good night," she wnlspercd. "Good night." She drew her hand half away, and .then, suddenly, raised her eyes ' straight to his own. they were calm, quiet, beautiful, nnd yet thcro camo a quick little catch in her throat as he leaned so close to him that she "' touched his breast, and said: "It will be best best for eveiy thing everybody If you can IniUence -father to stay at Fort Churchill." Sho did not wait lor him to reply, but hurried tow.ud her room. For a 'moment I'hllip stared alter her In Amazement. Then ho too.t u step as if to follow her, to call her back, the impulse left him as quickly as It came, and ho rejoined Uriaw and the factor. He looked at his watch. It was jeven o'clock. At half-past seven he flfi-Vhook hands with the two men, lighted P fresh cigar, and passed out Into the "night. It was early for his meeting with Pierre and Jeanne, but ho went down to the shore and walked slowiy In the direction of the cliff. He was till an hour early when he arrived at the great rock, and sat down, wltn his face turned to the sea. It was a white, radiant night, such as ho had seen In the tropics. Only .here, in the north, his vision reachcrt "to greater distances. Churchill lay JIfeless in its pool of Heir, the ship hung like a black silhouette In the dis tance with a cloud of Jet-black smoke rising straight up from its funnels, an 1 spreading out high up against the sky, a huge, ebon monster that cast its shadow for half a mt'e over the bay.

Below him the shadow was broken into a pool of rlpnllng star light. He heard the faint dip nf pad dies and buddenly a canoe shot from tho shadow out into the clear light of the moon and stars. ; It was a Urge canoe. In it he could make out four figures. Three of them were paddling; tho fourth sat motion less In the bow. They passed under Mm swiftly, guiding their canoe so ihat It was soon hidden in the shelter of tho cliff. By the faint reflections cast by tho disturbed water. Philip saw that tho occupants of the canoe iad made an effort to conceU thenr pelves oy rouow.ng mo ,M u, . dense shadow. Only tho chanco sound had led him to observe them. Under ordinary circumstances th ; passing of a strango canoa at night would have had no significance, for! Jtlm.

Jeanne . fand Plerro would surely come from that direction, it was impossioie io 'imlss them. He walked without sound In his moccasins, keeping close to tha i Jcllff so that ho could look out over tho j 'bay. Two or three, hundred yards 'beyond tho bis rock the Eoa-nall swung in sharply, disclosing tho open water, llko a still, silvery sheet, for a 5 mile or more. Philip scanned it for . the canoe, but as far as ho could see theye was not a shadow. j7 For a quarter of a mile he walked "'over the rocks, then returned. It was o'clock. Tho moment had arrived for tho appearance of Jeanno and i rlerTe. Ho resumed his patrol of tho I J cliff, and with each moment his ncrv-' S ousness increased. What if Jeanno p - faiied him? What If she did not come 1 to tho rock? Tho mero thought mado his heart sink with a suddon painful ' 5 throb. Until now the fear that Jeanne mtfrht disappoint him, that she might inoUKeep tho tryst, had not entered his head.
