BEGIN HEBE TODAY Hubert Stane. who has been in prison, visits a northern post of the Hudson Bay Company. He meets an old-time friend. Gerald Ainley, wno is about to leave on a trip with a governor of the company Ajnley is in love with Helen Yardley, niece of the governor. Stane becomes acquainted with a beautiful Indian girl named Mlskodeed Ainley promises to call at Stane s camp at midnight but fails to appear. Stane is attacked and. when he regains consciousness, he is in a canoe with Indians. Helen disappears from her uncle's camp and Gerald roes in search of her. NOW GO ON WITH THE StOKY mS LAND after Island they in spected and hailed: meanwhile keeping a sharp lookout on either side ol the river, but in vain. They were hoarse with shout ing when the last of the islands was reached, and on Alniey’s face alook of anxiety manifested itself. Landing at the tail of the island the Indian hunted around until he found a dry branch, and this he threw into the water and stood to watch its course as it went down the river. The drift of it seemed to be toward a bar on the eastern bank, and toward that, distant perhaps a couple of miles, the course of their canoe was directed. When they reached It, aggjr ttje Indian landed, and began m*pect the flotsam on the edge of the bank closely. Ainley watched him with apprehension. Presently the T-trtian stooped, and after two or three -tempts Ashed something from the water. He looked at It keenly for a moment, then he gave a shout, and began to walk along the bar toward the canoe. As he came nearer the man saw that the object he carried was the spconcnd of i paddle. When close

THE INDIAN JOINED THE SEARCH. at hand the Indian held It out for his inspection. “Him broke,” he said in English. “And the break quite freeh.” There was no question as to that, j Notwithstanding that the paddle had l been in the water, the clean wood of the fracture showed quite plainly, and whilst Ainley was looking at It the j Indian stretched a finger and to a semi-circular groove which ran across the broken end. "Him shot:” he announced quite calmly. As they started down river again. Alnley’s face took on a settled look •f anxiety. It was now close on mid night, but very light, and on either fmm SICK.

bank everything could be dearly seen. They kept a sharp lookout, but found no further trace of the missing canoe, and the early dawn found them In a Quickening current, racing for the point where the tributary river joined the main stream. Ainley looked ahead. Downstream the river narrowed and the low broad banks about them gradually rose, until they were like high ramparts on either hand. The Indian pointed toward the three-crowned cliffs. “No good there,” he said. “We land here, and make grub: walk 'own and see what the water like.” A few minutes later they were afloat again, and after a little time here was no need to paddle. The current caught them and flung them towards the limestone gateway at express speed. In an amazingly short time they had passed through the gorge, and were watching the hanks open out on either side of them. There was no sfgn of life anywhere, no indication that any one had passed that way since time began. As they sped onward a peculiar throb and rumble * began to make Itself heard. It increased as they neared the range of hills towards which they were making, and as the banks began to grow rocky, and the water ahead broken by boulders, the Indian looked for a good place to land. He found It on the lee side of a bluff where an eddy had scooped a little bay in the steep bank, and trrnlng the canoe inside it. they stepped ashore. Making the canoe rocure they climbed to the top of the bank and began to push their way down stream. The river but a few feet below them, bordered by shelving terraces of rock, suddenly disappeared. Rolling glassily for perhaps fifty yards, with scarce a ripple on its surface, the water seemed to gather itself together, and leap into a gorge, the bottom of which was ninety feet below. Ainley stood looking at the long cascade for a full minute, a wild light in his eyes, then He looked long •tnd steadily at the gorge through which the river ran after Its great ’tap. His face was white and grim, and his mouth was quivering painfully.

Then without a word he turned and bcran to hurry along the line of the gorge. The Indian strode after him “Where go to?” he asked. “The end of the gorge.” was the brief reply. An hour’s wild walking brought them to the end of the gorge, and looking down the rather steep face of the hill, to the widening river, the white man carefully surveyed the banks. After a time he found what he was looking for—a pile of debris heaped against a bHiff. whoe hard rock resisted the action of the water It was about a quarter of a mile away and on the same bank of the river as himself Still In silence he began to drop down the face of the hill, and sometimes climbing over moss-grown rocks, sometimes wading waist-high In the river itself he made his way to the heap of debris. It was the drift pile made by the river, which at this point cast out from its bosom logs and trees and all manner of debris brought over the falls and down the goroe. a groat heap piled ir. Inextricable confusion as high as a tall fir tree, and as broad as a church Feverishly. Gerald Ainley began to wade round its wide base: and the Indian also joined n the search, poking among the drift-logs and occasionally tumbling one aside. Then thf Indian gave a sharp grunt, and out of the pile dragged a piece of wreckage that was obviously part of the side and bow of a canoe. The Indian put a brown finger on a sym bol painted on the bows, with the letters H. B. C. beneath. Both of them recognized the piece of wreckage as belonging to the canoe in which Helen Yardely had left the camp. tup Indian cooked a meal, of which Ainley partook with but little care for what he was eating, his eyes fixed on the ochre-colored water as it swept by. his face the index of unfathomable thoughts. After the meal they began to track their canoe up-stream, until they reached water where it would be possible to paddle, one of them towing with a line, and the other working hard with the paddle to keep the canoe’s nose from the bank. A little way before they reached the limestone ramparts through which they had swept at such speed a few -hours before, the Indian, who was at the towline, stopped and indicated that they must make a portage over the gorge, since the configuration of the cliffs made it impossible to tow the canoe through. In this task, a very hard one, necessitating two journeys," one with the canoe and one with the stores, they were occupied the remainder of the day. and when they pitched camp again and had eaten the evening meal, the Indian promptly fell asleep. But there was no sleep for Gerald Ainley. He sat there starting at the water rushing by, reflecting the crimson flare of the Northern night. And it was not crimson that he saw it, but : ochre-colored as he had seen it earlier in the day, hurrying toward the rapids below, and to that ninety-foot leap into the gorge. Rising to his feet, he stumbled out of the camp, and began to walk restlessly along the bank of the river. He was body-tired, but his mind was active with an activity that was almost feverish. Try as he would he could not shut out the visions which haunted him, and as fast as he dismissed one, anew one was conjured up. He walked far without knowing it, driven by the secret agonies within, and all the time conscious that he could not escape from them. Then that befell which put a term to these agonizing imaginings. As he walked he came suddenly on the ashes of a camp fire. For a moment he stared at it uncomprehendingly. Then his Interest quickened, as the state of the ashes showed someone had camped at this place quite recently. He began to look about him carefmly, walking down the shelving bank to the edgy of the river. At that point there was a stratum of soft clay, \ which

took and preserved the Impression of eve, y tiling of weight which rested upon it; and instantly he perceived a number of footmarks about a spot where a canoe had been beached twice. Stooping he examined the footmarks minutely. There was quite a jumble of them, mostly,made by s long and broad moccasined foot, which was certainly that of a man; but n the jumble he found the print of smaller feet, which must have been made by a youth or girl. A quick hooe kindled In his heart as he began to trace these prints among the others. Then suddenly the hoye bacame a certainty, for in the rough grass he saw something gleam, and stooping to recover it, found that it was a small enameled Swastiki brooch similar to one which he had seen three days before at Miss Yardely’s throat. Excitedly he broke on the slumbers of his Indian companion, and after showing him the brooch, bade him accompany him to the place where he had found it, and there pointed to the footmarks on the river bank. “We must get back to the camp at once, Joe. We must find out If Miss Yardely has returned. We know now that she Is alive, and at all costa we must find her. We will start at once for there is no time to lose.” CHAPTER V A Brave Rescue When • Hubert Stane took stock of his position, after his captors had left him, he found himself Ip a country which was strange to him, and spent

Studying the disi >sition of the country carefully, he cached the conclusion that by a oundabout Journey he had been orought to the river on the uppei reaches of which he had his permanent camp; and as the conviction grew upon him, he made his way back to the canoe, and began to work his way up-stream. \ (Continued in Our Next Issue) •
