Yet . . . She thought of her father, broken and discouraged, and by his own words brought to such a state by the evil machinations of this—^this “half- breed.” And now Ellen had taken her stand by her father’s side. His battle was to be her battle; his hate was her hate. It was long before she finally slept and when she did there was the moistness of tears upon her cheeks. . In the week that followed, Ellen Mackay learned the reason for her father’s despair and broken pride. Long hours she spent over the books of the post. A hundred lengthy talii,es she drew up, studied and de stroyed. Her tboughte were driven to an inevitable conclusion. The fur trade at Fort Edson was no longer paying. Where the trade had onc^ been thousands of, lynx, bear, beaver, otter, marten and other skins, the present return was'but a few scanty hundreds. The shelves of the storehouse were piled high with trade goods that had ^ not been moved for over three years. was 8uiipl<9 to see the season when the decline had a’a^ted. 'T^ree years ago it was. Ellen probed further. Three years before had been the peak of the seven year cycle of the rabbits, and all old 'records showed that when the rabbit tide was at its height, that was the rich year in returns on lynx. Yet the lynx tally three years ago was far below normal. : Ellen went to the fur store room. Ruthlessly ' she - ripped open several bales, and from old experience graded the furs di^losed. They were all far below par, not a prime ricin in the whole lot. Her lips .trembled and tears qame again to her eyes. How dqep the shame of it must cut her in the past Fort Edsoh had been the boast of the company. EVom there had come the richest retnm, the fin- munications. .'The mes.sage did not mince words. It Contained less than a dozen lines. Yet the words of it seem ed to toll like a funeral bell. In effect it stated that unless Angus Mackay could, by the following spring, bring back the production of Fort Edson to something approximating its old-time volume, he would have to be replaced. Sudden, hot anger gripped Ellen. A year—they gave him—one short year to fight back and recuperate. One year! To thk man wh^ had given them a lifetime of faithful, treasure- reasoned Ellen, was very strange, for j which ensued. her father was plainly overjjoyed atj the presence of Deteroux, and she knew that , both Moosac and Gitchie were very faithful to her father. For herself, Ellen found it hard to define just how Deteroux affected her. There was an undeniable magne tism about the man. His very size, his rippling strength. And the lithe, easy swiftness of his movements and the gleam of his white teeth were attrac tive. And he was not unhandsome. Yet' his eyes were repelling, and whenever Ellen felt them upon her.

As she went she became aware of ehouts down upon* the beach. From the <k)or- way of the cabin she surveyed the scene be^ow. Several scows and a York boat or two were grounded on the shingle. A crowd of Indians and rivermen were grouped on the shore. Ellen saw her father talking to one of them ,a big burly figure who tow- j er^ jsbove the rest like a giant among'^pigmies. Ellen knew immediately what Dete roux meant. Someway, doubtless through.the channels of gossip, or be cause Angus Mackay had confided in him, this gigantic riverman knew of the threat which bung over the. old factor. Though she would not ac knowledge it, Ellen realized that the task of rehabilitation to which she had set herself loomed as well nigh impossible.
