BKGIN HEKE TOQAY Hubert Stane. just out of prison, where he served a term for forgery, visits a northern post of tne Hudson Bay Company. Stane meets Gerald Ainley, friend of brighter days, and a midnight meeting is agreed ui>on between the two mdi. Stane goes to his little canvas tent to await the coming of his one-time friend.

He laughed bitterly, and rising, ’.icked the fire together, threw on fresh fuel, and after one look toward he still sleeping Post, returned to the t“nt, wrapped himself in a blanket id shortly after fell asleep. Three hours later he was awakened a clatter of voices and the clamor f barking dogs passing from sleep to ull wakness like a healthy child. Kicking the blanket from him he slipped on his moccasins and stepped utsi4 where the source of the clamor at once manifested itself. A party < ’ Indians had just beached their ;• noes. and were exchaanging greet:gs with another party, evidently ‘hat whose tepees stood on the meadawn outside the fort, for among the women he saw the Indian girl who had fled through the willows after encountering him. He watched the

house accompanied by a girl, who laughed heartily at >ome remark of her companion. Stane halted in his I .racks looked at the pair who were perhaps a dozen yards or so away. The monocled Ainley could not but be aware of his presence, yet except that he kept his gaze resolutely averted, he gave no sign of being so. But the girl looked at him frankly, and as # she did so, Hubert Stane looked hack, and caught his breath, as he had reason to. * Her gray eyes met Stane's quite frankly, without falling, then turned nonchalantly to her companion, and Stane, watching, saw her speak, and as Ainley flashed a swift glance In his direction, and then replied with a shrug of his shoulders, he easily •divined that the girl had asked a question about himself. They passed him at half a dozen yards distance. Ainley with his face set like a flint, the girl with a scrutinizing sidelong glance that set the blood rioting in i Stane’s heart. He stood and watched them until they reached the w’harf, saw them step into a canoe, and then, j both of them paddling, they thrust out to the broad bosom of the river. Not till then did he avert his gaze, and turn again to the store. The great man of the company was still talking to the half-breed, and the other half-breed had risen from his seat and was staring into the store. He ipoked round as Stane approached him. ‘‘By gar,” he said enthusiastically, “dat one very fine squaw-girl dere.” Stane looked forward through the open doorway, and standing near the long counter, watching a tall Indian bartering with the factor, saw the beautiful Indian girl from the neighi boring camp. He nodded an affirmative. and seeing an opportunity to obtain information turned and spoke to the man. “Yes. hut that girl there with Mr. | Ainley—” “Oui, m’sieu. But she no squaw- ! girl. She grand person who make' ze tour with ze governor.” “And Mr. Ainley. what is he doing at Fort Malsun?” “Ah, M'sieu Ainley! He also is ze great man. He is to be among the governors—one day. He also visits ze posts and will no doubt travel with ze Governor, whose protege he is.” Stane made no vocal reply to this. He nodded carelessly and passed into! the store. Factor Rodwell looked j round as he entered, and surveyed him j with a measuring eye, as if taking j stock of anew acquaintance, then gave him a curt nod and resumed his barter with the Indian. His assistant ! being also busy for the moment, Stane turned towards the Indian girl whose liquid eyes were regarding him shyly, j and addressed her in her native dialect. i “Little sister, why did you run from j me yesterday?” “I had never seen such a man be-1 fore.*’ “Never seen a white man before!” j he cried in mock amazement. I did not say that I had never seen i a white man before. I have seen many. The priest up at Fort of God. the doctor priest at the Last Hope, the factor there, and M'sieu Ainley who* came to our camp yesterday. And there is also this fat marl they call the governor—a great chief, it is said; ! though he does not look as such a great one should look. Yes. I have 1 seen many white men, but none like ! thee before.”

Hubert Stane was routed once more by the girl's directness, but strove to recover himself by a return of compliments. “Well,” he laughed, "for that mat- ! ter. there are none so many like thyself in the world. I wonder what thy name is?” The girl flushed with pleasure at the compliment, and answered his question without reserve. “I am Miskodeed.” “The Beauty of the Spring! Then thou art well named, Jittle sister!” The girl flushed with pleasure. The flame that had lept in hor dark eyes at their first meeting burned once more, and Where, but for an interruption, the conversation would have drifted can only be conjectured. But at that precise moment the tail Indian called to her. “Miskodeed.” The girl moved swiftly to him and with a gesture that was almost royal the Indian pointed to a pile of trade goods heaped upon the long counter, i he girl gathered as much as was possible in her arms, and staggered with her load from the store, and as Factor Rodwell nodded to him, Hubert Stane moved up the counter and began to give his order. It was quite late in the afternoon when the opportunity he sought was given to him. Impelled by the merest curiosity he had strolled over to the Indian tepees and had there encountered Miskodeed teaching a puppy dog tricks. He had stopped to. speak to her, and was still engaged in a rather one-sided conversation, when the sound of English voices caused him to turn round. The governor’s party, accompanied by the factor, was moving toward the tepees. The party drew nearer. Stane Vas conscious of its attention, and T the blood in Miskodeed's face camp and went in a manner that was almost painful. Anyone looking at them and noting the apparent absorption of the man and the certain embarrassment of the girl, must have utterly miscomprehended the situation, and that was what happened, for a moment later, the sound ol feminine voice reached him. “Behold an idyll of the land!” He looked up with an angry light in his blue eyes. The party was just passing, and nearly every pair of eyes was regarding him curiously. And one pair, the gray eyes of the girl who had been with Ainley, met his in level glace, and in them he saw a flicker of contempt. That glance sent the blood to his face, and increased the anger which had surged within him at the laughing remark he had overheard. Ainley was among fhese people, and come what might be would have speech with him before them all. He stepped forward determinedly; but Ainley, who had been him closely, anticipated his

I couldn’t come la3t night, but tonight at the same time I will not fall.” He turned and moved on again before Stane could reply, and as he joined tbo English girl, the latter inquired in a surprised voice, “You know that gentleman, Mr. Ainley?” Stane caught the question, but the answer he did not hear, though he could guess its purport and found no pleasure at the thought of what i> would be. Again the midnight sun found him sitting behind his smoke-smudge, listening. All the songs and cries of the wild faded into silence and still Ainley had not come. Then he caught the sound of light feet running, and looking up he saw Miskodeed hurrying toward him between the willows. Wondering what had brought her forth at this hour he ! started to his feet and in that instant he saw a swift look of apprehension and agony leap to her face. “Beware, my brother —” He heard no more. A man rose like a shadow by his side, with lifted hand holding an ax-shaft. Before he could move or cry out the shaft descended on his uncovered head and he dropped like a man suddenly stricken dead. When he came to himself the rosy Northland night had given place to rosier dawn and he found that he was lying, bound hand and foot, at the bottom of a Peterboro’ canoe. There were three Indians in the canoe, one of whom he recognized for Miakodeed’s father, and after lying for a few mln-
