ONE: day I saw a strange Indian sitting on my porch. In the short time at its disposal the Atlantic has been fortunate in serializing approximately half of this novel, which is being published by Coward-McCann and is the March selection of the Literary Guild. Jonathan and another Indian, Cardinal, were having a deadly feud over trap-robbing. She came to depend upon Mamanowatum (Oh-Be-Joyful), an attractive Cree maiden whom she had taken into the household despite the warning that the girl was in love with a wild young trapper. When Kathy’s first child, Mary Aroon, was born, the young mother turned to the Indian women for help. White girls were scarce in that untamed country, but Kathy had eyes only for Sergeant Mike Flannigan, a handsome red-coated Mountie, and soon she was traveling into the North with him as Mrs. Kathy at sixteen had weak lungs and the doctor had prescribed a cold, dry climate. In the spring of 1907, Katherine Mary O’Fallon of Boston was shipped out to her uncle’s cattle ranch in Alberta.
