aew
aew-a0001.wav
Author of the danger trail, Philip Steels, etc.
aew
aew-a0002.wav
Not at this particular case, Tom, apologized Whittemore.
aew
aew-a0003.wav
For the twentieth time that evening the two men shook hands.
aew
aew-a0004.wav
Lord, but I'm glad to see you again, Phil.
aew
aew-a0005.wav
Will we ever forget it.
aew
aew-a0006.wav
God bless 'em, I hope I'll go on seeing them forever.
aew
aew-a0007.wav
And you always want to see it in the superlative degree.
aew
aew-a0008.wav
Gad, your letter came just in time.
aew
aew-a0009.wav
He turned sharply, and faced Gregson across the table.
aew
aew-a0010.wav
I'm playing a single hand in what looks like a losing game.
aew
aew-a0011.wav
If I ever needed a fighter in my life I need one now.
aew
aew-a0012.wav
Gregson shoved back his chair and rose to his feet.
aew
aew-a0013.wav
He was a head shorter than his companion, of almost delicate physique.
aew
aew-a0014.wav
Now you're coming down to business, Phil, he exclaimed.
aew
aew-a0015.wav
It's the aurora borealis.
aew
aew-a0016.wav
There's Fort Churchill, a rifle-shot beyond the ridge, asleep.
aew
aew-a0017.wav
From that moment his friendship for Belize turns to hatred and jealousy.
aew
aew-a0018.wav
There was a change now.
aew
aew-a0019.wav
I followed the line of the proposed railroad, looking for chances.
aew
aew-a0020.wav
Clubs and balls and cities grew to be only memories.
aew
aew-a0021.wav
It fairly clubbed me into recognizing it.
aew
aew-a0022.wav
Hardly were our plans made public before we were met by powerful opposition.
aew
aew-a0023.wav
A combination of Canadian capital quickly organized and petitioned for the same privileges.
aew
aew-a0024.wav
It was my reports from the north which chiefly induced people to buy.
aew
aew-a0025.wav
I was about to do this when cooler judgment prevailed.
aew
aew-a0026.wav
It occurred to me that there would have to be an accounting.
aew
aew-a0027.wav
To my surprise he began to show actual enthusiasm in my favor.
aew
aew-a0028.wav
Robbery, bribery, fraud,
aew
aew-a0029.wav
Their forces were already moving into the north country.
aew
aew-a0030.wav
I had faith in them.
aew
aew-a0031.wav
They were three hundred yards apart.
aew
aew-a0032.wav
Since then some mysterious force has been fighting us at every step.
aew
aew-a0033.wav
He unfolded a long typewritten letter, and handed it to Gregson.
aew
aew-a0034.wav
Men of Selden's stamp don't stop at women and children.
aew
aew-a0035.wav
He stopped, and Philip nodded at the horrified question in his eyes.
aew
aew-a0036.wav
She turned in at the hotel.
aew
aew-a0037.wav
I was the only one who remained sitting.
aew
aew-a0038.wav
We'll have to watch our chances.
aew
aew-a0039.wav
The ship should be in within a week or ten days.
aew
aew-a0040.wav
I suppose you wonder why she is coming up here.
aew
aew-a0041.wav
Meanwhile I'll go out to breathe a spell.
aew
aew-a0042.wav
How could he explain his possession of the sketch.
aew
aew-a0043.wav
It seemed nearer to him since he had seen and talked with Gregson.
aew
aew-a0044.wav
Her own betrayal of herself was like tonic to Philip.
aew
aew-a0045.wav
He moved away as quietly as he had come.
aew
aew-a0046.wav
The girl faced him, her eyes shining with sudden fear.
aew
aew-a0047.wav
Close beside him gleamed the white fangs of the wolf-dog.
aew
aew-a0048.wav
He looked at the handkerchief more, closely.
aew
aew-a0049.wav
Gregson was asleep when he re-entered the cabin.
aew
aew-a0050.wav
In spite of their absurdity the words affected Philip curiously.
aew
aew-a0051.wav
The lace was of a delicate ivory color, faintly tinted with yellow.
aew
aew-a0052.wav
It was a curious coincidence.
aew
aew-a0053.wav
Suddenly his fingers closed tightly over the handkerchief.
aew
aew-a0054.wav
There was nothing on the rock.
aew
aew-a0055.wav
Philip stood undecided, his ears strained to catch the slightest sound.
aew
aew-a0056.wav
Pearce's little eyes were fixed on him shrewdly.
aew
aew-a0057.wav
I have no idea, replied Philip.
aew
aew-a0058.wav
I came for information more out of curiosity than anything else.
aew
aew-a0059.wav
His immaculate appearance was gone.
aew
aew-a0060.wav
Anyway, no one saw her like that.
aew
aew-a0061.wav
Philip snatched at the letter which Gregson held out to him.
aew
aew-a0062.wav
The men stared into each other's face.
aew
aew-a0063.wav
Yes, it was a man who asked, a stranger.
aew
aew-a0064.wav
The fourth and fifth days passed without any developments.
aew
aew-a0065.wav
They closed now until his fingers were like cords of steel.
aew
aew-a0066.wav
He saw Jeanne falter for a moment.
aew
aew-a0067.wav
Surely I will excuse you, she cried.
aew
aew-a0068.wav
In a flash Philip followed its direction.
aew
aew-a0069.wav
It was his intention to return to Eileen and her father.
aew
aew-a0070.wav
He would first hunt up Gregson and begin his work there.
aew
aew-a0071.wav
What was the object of your little sensation.
aew
aew-a0072.wav
But who was Eileen's double.
aew
aew-a0073.wav
The promoter's eyes were heavy, with little puffy bags under them.
aew
aew-a0074.wav
And now, down there, Eileen was waiting for him.
aew
aew-a0075.wav
There has been a change, she interrupted him.
aew
aew-a0076.wav
The gray eyes faltered; the flush deepened.
aew
aew-a0077.wav
It is the fire, partly, she said.
aew
aew-a0078.wav
Then, and at supper, he tried to fathom her.
aew
aew-a0079.wav
It was a large canoe.
aew
aew-a0080.wav
What if Jeanne failed him.
aew
aew-a0081.wav
What if she did not come to the rock.
aew
aew-a0082.wav
His face was streaming with blood.
aew
aew-a0083.wav
A shadow was creeping over Pierre's eyes.
aew
aew-a0084.wav
Scarcely had he uttered the name when Pierre's closing eyes shot open.
aew
aew-a0085.wav
A trickle of fresh blood ran over his face.
aew
aew-a0086.wav
Death had come with terrible suddenness.
aew
aew-a0087.wav
Philip bent lower, and stared into the face of the dead man.
aew
aew-a0088.wav
He made sure that the magazine was loaded, and resumed his paddling.
aew
aew-a0089.wav
The nightglow was treacherous to shoot by.
aew
aew-a0090.wav
The singing voice approached rapidly.
aew
aew-a0091.wav
His blood grew hot with rage at the thought.
aew
aew-a0092.wav
He went down in midstream, searching the shadows of both shores.
aew
aew-a0093.wav
For a full minute he crouched and listened.
aew
aew-a0094.wav
He had barely entered this when he saw the glow of a fire.
aew
aew-a0095.wav
A big canvas tent was the first thing to come within his vision.
aew
aew-a0096.wav
Perhaps she had already met her fate a little deeper in the forest.
aew
aew-a0097.wav
Then you can arrange yourself comfortably among these robes in the bow.
aew
aew-a0098.wav
Shall I carry you.
aew
aew-a0099.wav
A maddening joy pounded in his brain.
aew
aew-a0100.wav
You must sleep, he urged.
