BEGIN HKUK TODAY Hubert Stace serves a term in prison tor forgery. Upon being_ released he visits a northern post of the Hudson Bay Company. Tht-re he meets an okl-timu friend. Gerald Ainley. who promises 1 9 call at Stanes camp at midnight. Ainley fails to appear. Stane visits an Indian camp and while conversing with an Indian girl named Miskodeed. sees Ainley approaching with one of Ahe governors of the company and a beautiful English girl. Again Ainley promises to call on Stain. At midnight Stane is attacked >■ >! when he regains consciousness V • a canoe with three Indians. NOW GO ON WITH THK STORY “IVVT ia t * le meaning of this?* 1 yy The Indian stared at him like a graven image but vouchsafed no reply. “What are you going to do witn me?” he inquired after an interval. “Nothing." replied the Indian. "At •!* end of five days thou wilt be set free, and the canoe follows behind.” “But why—” ‘lt is an ‘order,” said the Indian gravely, and beyond that Stane could learn nothing, though he tried repeatedly In the rive days that followed. ■ IN' COMPANY WITH AINLEY SHE WALKED TOWARD THE TIMBER. At the end of the fifth day they pitched camp as usual, at the evening meal, and lay down to sleep, Stane tied band and foot with buckskin thongs. In the morning, wnen he awoke, he was alone and his limbs were free. Scarce believing the facts he sat up and looked around him. Unquestionably his captors had gone, taking the Peterboro' with them, but leaving his own canoe hauled up on the bank. Still overcome with astonishment he rose to his feet and inspected the couients of the canoe. All the stores that he had purchased at the Post were intact, with his rifle, his little tent and camp utensils, so far as he could tell, not a single article was missing. \ CHAPTER 111 A Lost Girl Mr. Gerald Ainley standing in the ■ meadow outside the Post, looked toward the river bank with smiling eyes. Where Hubert Stane’s

little tent had been the willows now showed an unbroken line, and he found that fact a source of satisfaction. Then between the willows he caught sigljt of a moving figure, and after one glance at it, began, to hurry forw*ard. A moment the figure emerged from the willows,and stood on the edge of the meadow, revealing its identity as that of- the Engligh girl with whom he had walked in the previous day. “Good morning. Miss Yardely. You are astir early.” ' Helen Yardely laughed lightly. “It is impossible to do anything else in this country, where it is daylight all the time, and birds are crying half the night. Besides we are to make a start after breakfast.” “Yes, I know; I’m going with you.” “l'ou are going with us, Mr. AinIcy!” There was a little note of surprise in the girl’s tones. "My uncle has not mentioned it!” “No! It was only finally decided last night; though from the beginning of the excursion it has been contemplated. Sir James is making notes of his journey which I am to supplement. I believe he has an idea ofTringing out a book describing the journey!” “Which you are to write, I suppose?” laughed the girl. She paused as if waiting for an answer, then as her companion continued silent, abruptly changed the topic. “By the by, I see tha. your acquaintance of other days removed himself!” • x “Yes,” answered Ainley, "I noted that." They had now arrived at the tepees and as they halted, the Hap of one was thrown aside, and Miskodeed emerged. She did not see them ,s the moment she stepped into 1 open air her eyes turned tovai e willows where Stanes cam, ad been. A look of sadness a the wild beauty of her face, and there was a poignant light in tier eyes. “Ah!” whispered Helen Y'ardely. ‘She knows that he has gone.” The notes of a bugle, clear and silvery in the still air. floaied across ;he meadow at that moment, and Gerald Ainley laughed. “The breakfast bell! We must hurry, Miss Yardely. It will scarcely Jo to keep your uncle waiting.” At the end of that day her ur.cle •rdered the camp to be pitched on t little meadow backed by a somber forest of spruce. And after the eveaing meal, in company with Gerald Ainley, she walked toward the timber where an owl was hooting dismally. “I like the wild,” Helen said Sudenly, breaking the sjltnce that had ~,een between them. Ainley laughed. “Y’ou see it in the glamor of romance,” he said. “Weil!” replied the girl quickly. "What would life be without romance?” "A dull thing,” answered Ainley, promptly, with a sudden flash of he eyes. “I am with you there. Miss ■ ardely, but romance does not lie .n mere barbarism, for most men it : is incarnated in a woman.” “Possibly! I suppose the mating instinct U the one elemental thing left in the modern wofld.” “It is the one dominant thing,” answered Ainley, with such emphasis of convietion that the girl looked at him in quick surprise. “Why, Mr. Ainley, one would think that you—that you—” she hesitated, stumbled in her speech, and did not finish the sentence. Her companion had risen suddenly to his feet. The monocle had fallen from its place, and he was looking down at her with eyes that had a strange glitter. “Y'es,” he cried, answering her unfinished utterance. “Y’es! I do know. That is what you would say, is it not? I have known since the day Sir James sent me to the station at Ottawa to meet you. The knowledge was born In me as I saw you stepping from the car. The one woman —my heart whispered it in that moment, and has shouted it ever since. Helen, I did not mean to speak yet, but —well you see how it Is with me! Tell me it is not altogether hopeless! You know what my position is; you know that in two years—” Helen Y'ardely rose swiftly to her feet. Her beautiful face had paled a little. “Well,” she flushed a little, and her tongue stumbled among the words, “you are not quite the man—that I—- ! that I have thought of—for—for —(" | She broke off again, laughed a little at borself and then blurted confused ly: ou see all my life, from being little girl 1 have worshiped heroes. ” “And I am not a hero?” said AinI ley with a harsh laugh. “No: * im just the ordinary man doing t. or dinary things, and my one clam, to notice is that I love you! But suppose the occasion came? Suppose I—.” He broke off and stood looking at her for a moment. Then he asked "Would that make no difference?” "It might,” replied the girl, the shrinking from 'the Infliction of too severe a hlow. * Then I live for that occasion!” cried Ainley. “And who knows? In this wild land it may come any houp^’ Asa matter of fact the occasion offered itself six days later—a Sunlay, when Sir James Yardely had insisted on a day’s rest. The various members of the party were employing their leisure according to their nclinations, and Ainley had gone if ter birds for the pot, whilst Helen Yardely,' taking a small canoe, had paddled down stream to explore a •reek where, according to one of the Indians, a colony of beavers had established itself. When Ain}ey returned with a coude of brace of wood partridges it was to find that the girl was still absent from the camp. The day wore on toward evening and still ; the girl had not returned, and her upble be■ame anxious, as did others of the party. ' Gerald Ainley called one of the . ndians, to him, and ordered him to put thrfee days’ supply of food into the canoe, blankets and a small fold-, ,ing tent, and was just preparing to’ depart when Sir James drew near.

and stared with evident surprise at the load in the canoe. “Why, Gerald,” he said, "you seem to have made preparations for a long search.” “That is only wise. Sir James. The river runs for sixty miles before it falls into the main river, , and sixty miles will take a good deal of searching. If the search is a short one, and the food not needed, the burden of it will matter little; on the other l*and ” “In God’s name go, boy—and bring Helen back!” The Indian in the bow of the canoe, after; a little time, set the course slantingly across the current, making for the other side, and Ainley asked a sharp question. The Indian replied over his shoulder. “The white Klootchman go to see the beaver! Betrver there!’* He Jerked his head toward a creek now opening- out oh the further shore, and a look of Impatience came on Ainley’s face. He said nothing, however, though to any one observing him closely it must have been abundantly clear that he had no expectation of finding the missing girl at the place which the Indian indicated. Asa matter of fact they did not. Turning into the creek they presently caught sounds that were new to Ainley, and he asked a question. *‘gt is the beavers. They smite the water with their tails!” Two minutes later they came in sight of the dam and in the same moment the Indian turned the canoe toward a soft bar of sand. A few seconds later, having landed, h* pointed

A canoe had been beached there, and plain as the footprints which startled Crusoe, were the marks of moccaslned feet going from and returning to the sand bar. “White Klootchman boen here!” said the Indian. “She go away. No good going to the beaver.” He turned to the canoe again and Gerald Alnley turned with him, without a word in reply.
