Frona waved her hand to Andy and swung out on the trail. Fastened tightly to her back were her camera and a small travelling satchel1. In addition, she carried for alpenstock the willow2 pole of Neepoosa. Her dress was of the mountaineering sort, short-skirted and scant3, allowing the greatest play with the least material, and withal gray of color and modest.

True, he hated the water, and it was mainly a water journey; but he was not afraid of it. He was afraid of nothing. Further, he would fight for her at the drop of the hat. As for pay, when they got to Dawson, a good word from her to Jacob Welse, and a year's outfit would be his. No, no; no grub-stake about it, no strings10 on him! He would pay for the outfit later on when his sack was dusted. What did she think about it, anyway? And Frona did think about it, for ere she had finished breakfast he was out hustling11 the packers together.
She found herself making better speed than the majority of her fellows, who were heavily
