He breathed easier H when, dear of the pass, he b begun the descent to the vid- Jj ley below. Three thousand ;• miles is a long distance to ;>

I travel for the purpose of killing a ” i 1 man, but Danny did not consider •; it a hardship, for the man lie was . tracking so mercilessly had killed Dan- -s ■ ny’s brother, Jim, up in the Forty Mile I Diggings. True, according to the tes- jj . timony of eye-wlfticsscs, Jim Donovan j; had been the aggressor, and in killing o him, Lelionne, the big Canadian, had H acted only in self-defense. But Dan- > ny cared not for thrtt. In his blind ti

, u rage at the news that his brother had :i been stricken down, bis one thought;!! was for a tilting retaliation, in which jB , a sense of right and justice figured not at all, p Lebonne had been acquitted at once||i ; and had departed two months before;:; . tlie news of tbe affair bad reached ,* Danny’s ears, consequently the trncl- v lug of him had bc m no easy matter. Ig 1 At a little' distance from the cabin - Danny Jialfed his team and fed a it frozen fish to each of his dogs t > in-';* sure quiet on their part. Then lie left; § them end approached the cabin nione. He crept stealthily to tbe uncart; ined j;; r window and peered within. A icaii'T: sat beside a table. He was lau. hlng [♦ l_ and talking with someone at the otheT side of the room. Ihmny scrutinized - him carefully to avoir! making an error. But there was no mistaking him; he I answered to the description perfectly. I

Danny drew bis revolver from its:: holster and cocked it, keeping well ’ . hack that the light streaming from the , window would not betray him. Then |: he took careful aim at tile 1 road, (breast of the man within. Impelled by curiosity, Danny; stepped across the bar of light to the I other side of the window. A sight: met bis gaze that drew forth a mur-1 mur of surprise. In a corner of the > room stood a Christmas tree, glitter-' ing with crude, homemade ornaments I .. of tinsel, and aligh- with liny candles. Before it, in attitudes of awe-struck

•i admiration, three children stnpd and ; .. marvelled. They evidently had just ; b been admitted from another room, jj , Beaming on them with maternal pride, I; “ stood a woman with rosy cheeks and I? coal black hair, telling them, no J y doubt, of the wonderful things thati; d would grow on that tree over night, if It was Christmas eve; Danny had ro'j thought of that before. And tomor-lt: row would be the day of “Peace o« :: earth, good will toward men.” Am! R here was he, Danny Donovan. withjU , black murder in his heart. A feeling «j ’ of deep shame came over him and he Jj lowered the hammer of his revolver, and returned it to its holster. U: ‘‘By the saints!” he muttered intolji his beard; “an’ I kern near to puttin’ ;? an end to a bit of fun like that!’’ Anti now’the children were i;ent‘!l away to bed. and the task of hanging ~ the presents on the magic tree began, h .Unmindful of the biting wind ami ;j snow. Danny watched, and slowly a !t feeling of loneliness crept over him, ,5 and with it longing hope that perhaps, f.j some day, he, too, in his own home--- sj And why not? Over in the Fort Me- jj Kenzie settlement was a fair Rose 3 whose eyes hud always been lowered <• before the look in his own. )|j With a last lingering look inside the j; cabin, Danny made his way to his team. There a new thought came to him and ho paused to ponder it. Did ;; lie not owe these people something? u lie had come with a heart black as ;; sin, and he was leaving with a heart :: light as air. H He fumbled beneath his pack, in the bottom of the sled, and drew out a :: deerskin bag. It was dirty and greasy, but it was filled witii yellow D nuggets and dust. Danny lind sev- tj on,! more like it in the sled, for luck had been witii him in the North. He ?♦ made a loop in the string that fastened ;• the bag, ami plodded back to.the door ?. of the cabin. He felt cautiously about ;? until in' found the latch, then hung H his offering upon it nnd went back to i. his team. With subdued shouts he » roused the, dogs, then turned ids sled h around anil made for the pass, the « bttz’.ird 'it bi< back and a Joyous :: lightness tu fii& step, <
