The Honor
(Continued.)
"Jan Tuoieuu." whispered Jean soft
ly, "hare you forgotten that it was 1
-who killed the missioner for yon, and
that through all of these years Jean
de Gravois has never questioned you
about thefiht on t the. rnountain top.?
In therein Ythlnjr .leaj vde Gravois
can do?" .r ..
He sat down opposite Jan. his thin,
eager face propped in his hands, and'
watched silently until the other lifted
his head. Their eyes met, steady, un
flinching, and in that look there were
the oath and the seal of all that the
honor of the big snows held for those
two, '. '
Still without words Jan reached with
in his breast and drew forth the little
foil which be had taken from his vio
lin. One by one he handed the pages
orer to Jean de Gravoie. '
"My God!" said Jean, when he had
finished reading. He spoke no other
words. "White fsced.- the two men
stared, Jan's throat twitching, Gravois'
brown fingers crushing, the rolls he
held " ' ''
"That was why I tried to kill the
missioner." said Jnn at last. "And
that thafc4s why it could not signify
that Melisse has done up her hair."
He gathered up the papers so that they
shot back into the little cylinder shaped
roll again.
'."I understand.'' replied" jean in a low
voice. "I understand and I praise the
blessed. Virgin that -it- was' Jean de
Grarois .wbo killed the missioner out
upon the ice of Lac Bain!"
"But the other.'VperiHst&iJan. "the
other, which says that ;
"Stop cried -Jean sharply. He came
around "the. table arid rszeS Jan's
hands in , the iron, grjp of his lithe,
brown fingers. -'That is something for
you to forget. It means nothings noth
ing at aB. Jan Thorean!. Does any one
know but you and me?" -
"No one. . I intended that some day
.Melisse and her father, should know,
but I waited too long. I" waited until I
was afraid', until the horror. of telling
her frightened me. I made myself for
get, burying It deeper eachyear; until
today on: the mountain"-- ' "
"And today-'ln Xthjs ca Wn ' you will
forget again, .and you will bury1 it so
deep that It will, never come back. I
am proud of yon," Jan Thorean..:;, I love
you, and It is the first. time that Jean
de Gravois has . ever .said this to a
man.' Alt', I hear them coming!" .
With an absurd bow1 in the direction
of the laughing voices which they now
heard, the melodramatic little French
man pulled Jan to the door. Halfway,
across the open were - Melisse and
Iowaka carrying a large Indian - bas
ket between, them and ..making rherry
over the-'taflk. "- WJienTthgy "saw Gra
vois and Jan they set down their bur
den and waved an invitation' for the
two men to come to their assistance. -
"You should be the second happiest
man in the' world, Jan Thorean," ex
claimed Jean. 'The first. is Jean de
Gravois!,", . ' .-. .
He setoffHke aboirfrom a spring
gun in the ..direction of .The two who
were waiting for them. He had hoi st-
ed the basket upon his shoulder by 'the
time Jan arrived., .; .. v
"Are you growing old, too, Jan 7"
bantered Melisse as she dropped a few
steps behind Jean and his wife. "You
.come so slowly!"
,"I think I'm twenty-nine." :
He looked at her steadily, the grief
which he "was fighting to keep back
tightening the muscles ' about his
mouth. . . v
Like the quick passing- of sunshine
the fun swept from her face,' leaving
her blue eyes staring up at him. filled
with a pain .which be had never seen
In them before, in a moment he knew
f that she had understood him, and he
could have cut out his tongue Her
hand reached his arm, and she stopped
him, her face lifted pleadingly, the
tears slowly gathering. in her eyes.
"Forgive me!" she whispered, her
voice breaking into a sob. "Dear,
dear .Tan forgive me!" Today Is your
birthday. Jan yours ahd mine, mine
and yours and we will always have it
that way. always, won't we. Jan?"
Jan was glad ;when the evening
came and was gone. "Not until Jean
and Iowaka had said good night with
Croiset and his-wife .and. both Cum
mins and Melisse had gone to their
rooms did he find himself relieved of
the tension under which he had strug
gled during' all of his playing and that
night's merrymaking in the cabin.
From the first he .knew that his
nerves were ' strung by some strange
and indefinable sensation that was
growing within him something which
he could hardly have explained at first,
but which swiftly" took form and mean
ing and Oppressed ' him more as the
hours flew by. .:
After the others had gone Cummins
sat up to smoke a pipe. When he had
finished he.;went"Jto.' his .room. Jan
was now i steeping in' a; room at the
company's store and after a time he
rose silently to take down his cap and
coat. He opened, the outer door, quiet
ly so as not to arouse Melisse. who
had gone to bed half an hour befor. '
As he was about to ..go out there
came a sound, a low, gentle, whisper
ed word:
"Jan!" . ' . ,
He turned. Melisse stood in her
door. She had not undressed, and her
hair was still done up in its soft coils,
with the crirhsori bakneesh shining In
it. She came to him hesitatingly un
til she stood with her two hands upon
his arm. gazing ; Into his tense face
with that "same question in her eyes.
"Jan, you were not. pleased, with me
tonight," " she whispered. "Tell me
"I wes pleased with, you.-!Meisse,"
he replied."
He took one .of her. hands , that was
clinging to his arm . and . turned his
face to the open night. Countless stars
gleamed in the sky. as they bad shone
another" night fifteen j-ears ago.
"of" the
jCopuright, 1911, bu the Bobbs
V Merrill Co.
Suddenly there leaped up Trom jan
Thoreau's breast a breath that burst
from his lips in a low cry:
"Melisse! Melisse! It was just fif
teen years ago that I came in through,
that forest out there, starved and dy
ing. ; and plajred my violin when your
.mother died. You were a little baby
then, and since that night you have
never pleased me more than now!" -
He dropped her hand and turned
squarely to the door to hide what he
knew had come into his f ace He
heard a soft, heartbroken little sob be
hind Mm. " v
"Jan, dear Jan!" :
'She laughed, happy and trembling;
her lips, held up to him. '
, "I didn't please you today"," she whte-
pered. "I will never do up my hair
again!"' . -
- He kissed her, and his arms dropped;
from her shoulders.
"Never, never again until you have
forgotten to love me," she repeated.
"Goodnight, Brother Jan!"
Across' the open,' through the thinned
edge of the black spruce, deeper and
deeper into the cold, unqutvering.;lifei
tessness of the forest,' Jan went from
the door that closed between him and
Melisse, her last words still whisper'
uag. in hl ears, the warm touch of her
hair on' his cheeks, and the knowledge
9f what this day , had meant for him
. iwlftly surging, jipon ..him, bringing
with it a torment which racked him to
' the "soul, rj v-.? - -j. I, -v-v
" He went on until he came to where
the '. beaten trail swept up and' away
from a swamp. He plunged into it,
picking his tangled way until he stood
upon a giant ridge, from which . he
looked out through the white night into
the limitless barrens to the north. ;
She was no longer the little Melisse,
his sister, he thought. And yet
' He was almost saying her last words
aloud:
"Good night, Brother Jan!"
She had come to him that day to let
him kiss her as she had come to him a
thousand times before, but he had not
kissed her iu the old way. It was a
'different love that his lips had given,
and even now the hot blood surged
again into his face as he thought of
what he had done;. : In that which had
stirred, his blood? thrilling him with
itrange Joy as he held her in his arms,
he saw more than the shadow of sin
sacrilege against a thing which was
more precious to him than life. ; .
CHAPTER IX.
The New Agent and Hie Sari.
J AN thrust a hand inside his coat
. and.clutched at the papers that
Jean de Gravois had read. Then
he drew them forth slowly and
held them crumpled in his fingers,
while for many minutes he stared
straight out into the gray gloom of the
treeless plain.
His eyes shifted. They went from
rock to rock-and from tree to tree un
til at last they rested upon ; a giant
6pruce which hung out over the pre
cipitous wall of the ridge, its thicktop
beckoning and sighing to the black
rocks that shot up out of the snow 500
feetv below. Mukee had told Jan its
story. In the first autumn of the wo-
H Thrust In the - Papers, - Crowded
Them Down and Filled the Hole With
Chunks of Bark.
THE
Big Snows
i
man's life at Lac Bain he and Per-ee
had climbed the old spruce, lopping off
Its branches until only the black cap
remained, and after that it was known
far and wide as the "lobstick" of Cum
mins' wife. It was a voiceless ceno
taph which signified that all the honor
and love known to the wilderness peo
ple had been given to her. '
,.. To, it went Jan, the papers still held
In his hand. ""He had seen a pair "of
whisky jacks storing food in the butt
of the tree two or three summers be
fore, and now his fingers groped for
the hole. When he found It he thrust
in the papers, crowded them down
and filled the hole with chunks of bark.
"Always my sister, and never any
thing more to Jan Thoreau," he said
gently In French as if he were speak
ing to a spirit in the old tree. "That
is the honor of these snows; it Is what
the great God means us to be. I swear
that Jan Thoreau will never do wrong
to the little Melisse!" With a face
white and set in its determination he
turned slowly away from the tree.
When he came into the cabin for
breakfast next morning Jan's face
showed signs of the struggle through
which he had gone.- Cummins had al
ready finished, and he found Melisse
alone. Her hair; was brushed back in
its old, smooth way, and when ' she
heard him she flung her long braid
over her shoulder, so that 'it fell down
la front of her. He saw thevmove
ment, and smiled his thanks without
speaking. ' " ''''
"You don't look well, Jan," she said
anxiously. "You are pale,' aud your
eyes are bloodshot."
"I am not feeling right," he admit
ted, trying to appear cheerful, "hut this
coffee will, .make a new,, man ,of , jne.
You make the best coffee in the world,
Melisse'
"What are you going to do today,
Brother Jan?" she asked. .
"Drive, out on the Churchill traiL
Ledoq wants supplies, ; and he's too
tmsy with his trap lines. to come in."
'fWill you take me?" '
'I'm ..' afraid . not, Melisee. It's a
" twelve mile run and a heavy load."
"Very! well. I'll get ready imme
diately." - - ; .
She jumped up from the table, dart
ing fun at him with her. eyes, and ran
to her room.
"It's too far, Melisse," he called aft
er her. , "It's too far, and I've a heavy
load" '
' "Didn't I take that twenty mile run
with you over to Oh, dear! Jan,
have you seen my new lynx skin cap?"
' "It's out here, : tanging -on-tKe wall,"
replied Jan,, falling into her humor de
spite himself. "BiitX say, MeUsse"
- fAre the dogs ready?"- she called.
"If they're not I'll - be dressed before
you can harness them. Jan." , t
"They'll be here' within fifteen . min
ntes," he replied, surrendering to her.
Her merry face, laughing triumph at
him through the partly open door, de
stroyed .the last vestige of. his opposi
tion, and he left her with something
of his old cheeriness of manner, whis
tling a gay forest tune as he hurried
toward the store.
When he returned with the teanyMe
lisse was waiting for him, a gray 'thing
of silvery lynx fur, with her cheeks,
lips and eyes aglow, her trim little feet
clad in soft caribou boots that came
to her knes, and with a bunch. of the
brilliant bakneesh fastened jauntily in
hercap. .....'..' . ;
"I've made room-for you," he said
in greeting, pointing to the sledge.
"Which I'm not going to fill for five
miles at least,"- declared Melisse.
"Isn't it a glorious morning, Jan? I
feel as if I can run from .here to
Ledoq's!" '
With a crack of his whip and. a
shout, Jan swung the dogs across the
open, with Melisse running lightly at
his side. From their cabin Jean and
Iowaka called out shrill adieus: j
"The day is not far off when they
two will be as you' and I, my Iowaka,"
said Jean in his poetic Cree. "I wager
you that 4t , will be before her next
birthday!"
And Melisse was saying:
"I wonder if there are many people
as happy as Jean and Iowaka!" .
She caught her breath, and Jan crack
ed on the dogs in a. spurt, that left her
pantlnga full dozen rods behind him.
With a wild halloo he stopped the
team and waited.
"That's unfair, Janl . You'll have to
put me on the sledge."
He tucked her in among the furs,
and the dogs strained at. their traces,
'with Jan's whip curling and snapping
over their backs, until they were leap
ing swiftly and with unbroken' rhythm
of "motion over the smooth trail. Then
Jan gathered in his whip and ran close
to the leader,, his moccasined feet tak
ing the short, quick, light steps of the
trainee forest runner, his chest thrown
a little out, his eyes upon the twist
ing trail ahead. -. ; ' ? :
Mile after mile slipped behind, and
not until they reached the mountain
on which he. had fought the mission
ary did Jan bring his dogs to a walkl
Melisse jumped from the sledge and
ran quickly to his side.. ...
"I can beat you to the top now!"
she cried. "If you catch me" There
was the old witching challenge in her
eyes. '
She sped up the side of the ridge.
Panting and breathless. Jan pursued
with the dogs. Her advantage was
too great for him to overcome this
time, and she stood laughing down at
him when he came to the top of the
ridge. .
"You're -as '-pretty as a. fnjry. Me
Hsse!" he exrlfiimed. .his oyes'shinut
with admira!on. "Prettier than the
fairy in the book!"
"Thank you. brother mine! -1 be
lieve you do still love me a little."
"More than ever in my life,' replied
Jan quickly, though he tried to hold
his tongue. .
