rse, my senses in some measure returned to me, and I realised only one thing: it had been inside his tent! I dashed out, reached the door in half a dozen strides, and looked in. The Canadian, thank God! lay upon his bed of branches. His arm was stretched outside, across the blankets, the fist tightly clenched, and the body had an appearance of unusual rigidity that was alarming. On his face there was an expression of effort, almost of painful effort, so far as the uncertain light permitted me to see, and his sleep seemed to be very profound. He looked, I thought, so stiff, so unnaturally stiff, and in some indefinable way, too, he looked smaller—shrunken. I called to him to wake, but called many times in vain. Then I decided to shake him, and had already moved forward to do so vigorously when there came a sound of footsteps padding softly behind me, and I felt a stream of hot breath burn my neck as I stooped. I turned sharply. The tent door was darkened and something silently swept in. NE INTO THE DARKNESS THEN OF COURSE MY SENSES IN SOME MEASURE RETURNED TO ME AND I REALIZED ONLY ONE THING IT HAD BEEN INSIDE HIS TENT I DASHED OUT REACHED THE DOOR IN HALF A DOZEN STRIDES AND LOOKED IN THE CANADIAN THANK GOD LAY UPON HIS BED OF BRANCHES HIS ARM WAS STRETCHED OUTSIDE ACROSS THE BLANKETS THE FIST TIGHTLY CLENCHED AND THE BODY HAD AN APPEARANCE OF UNUSUAL RIGIDITY THAT WAS ALARMING ON HIS FACE THERE WAS AN EXPRESSION OF EFFORT ALMOST OF PAINFUL EFFORT AS FAR AS THE UNCERTAIN LIGHT PERMITTED ME TO SEE AND HIS SLEEP SEEMED TO BE VERY PROFOUND HE LOOKED I THOUGHT SO STIFF SO UNNATURALLY STIFF AND IN SOME INDEFINABLE WAY TOO HE LOOKED SMALLER SHRUNKEN I CALLED TO HIM TO WAKE BUT CALLED MANY TIMES IN VAIN THEN I DECIDED TO SHAKE HIM AND HAD ALREADY MOVED FORWARD TO DO SO VIGOROUSLY WHEN THERE CAME A SOUND OF FOOTSTEPS PADDING SOFTLY BEHIND ME AND I FELT A STREAM OF HOT BREATH BURN MY NECK AS I STOOPED I TURNED SHARPLY THE TENT DOOR WAS DARKENED AND SOMETHING SILENTLY SWEPT IN
