BEGIN HERE TODAY Hubert Stane serves a term In prison for forgery. He visits a northern post of the Hudson Bay Company, where he meets a one-time friend. Gerald Ainley, who promises to visit Stane's camp at midnight. Stane becomes acquainted with a beautiful Indian girl named Miskodeed. At midnight Stane is attacked and taken to a strange part of the country where he is released. Ainley takes a trip With Sir. James Yardely a governor of the company and falls in love with Helen Yardely his niece. Helen disappears from her uncle's camp and Gerald with an Indian guide goes fii search of her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY HAT evening Stane camped at the foot of a fall, whlqji he had heard of, but never before seen, and spent the whole of the next day in portaging his belongings to navigable water, and on the following evening well beyond the rocky ramparts, where the river ran so swiftly, made his camp, happily conscious that now the river presented no barrier for 200 miles. As he sat smoking outside his little tent, an absent, thoughtful look upon his face, his eyes fixed dreamily on the river, his mind re verted once more to the problem of recent happenings, and as he considered it, there came to him the picture of Miskodeed as he had seen her running towards him between

She had cried to him to put him on his guard, and the apprehension in her face as he remembered it told him that she knew of the 111 that was to befall him. He recalled the directness of her speech in their first convei „ation and smiled at the naivete of her estimate of himself. Then the smile died, leaving the ah= sent, thoughtful look more pronounced, and in the same moment the vision of Miskodeed was obliterated by the visior of Helen Yardely. Again, as he recalled the steady, scrutinizing glance of her gray eyes, he felt the blood rioting in his heart, and for a moment his eyes were alight with dreams. Then he laughed in sudden bitterness. "What a confounded fool I am!” he said. "A discharged convict —"

The moment "Pape’s Dlapepsin” reaches the stomach all distress from acid stomach or indigestion ends. Immediate relief from flatulence, gases, heartburn, palpitation, fullness or stomach pressure. Correct your digestion for a few cents. Millions keep It handy. Drug gists recommend it. —Advertisement. DRINK WATER WHEN KIDNEYS HURT YOU When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it may mean you have been eating foods which create acids, says a wellknown authority. An excess of such acids overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you receive your bowels, removing all the body’s urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take % tablespoonfu! in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize adds in the system, so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, can not injure and makes a delightful, effervesoent Uthia-water drink. Drink lots 1 es soft water. By all means have your ■physician examine your kidneys at wart twice a year.—Advertisement.

The utterance was suddenly checked; and an interested look came on his face. There was something coming down the river. He rose quickly to his feet in order to get a better view of the object which had suddenly floated into his line of vision. It was a canoe. It appeared to be empty, and thinking it was a derelict drifting from some camp up river, he threw himself down again, for even if he salved it, it could be of no possible use to him. He wondered whether the current would swing it clear; and now watched it with interest since he had once heard a river-man declare that anything that surrendered itself completely to a current would clear obstructions. He had not believed the theory at the time, and now before his eyes it was disproved; for the derelict swung straight towards the rocks, then twisted half-way round was caught by some swirl, and struck a sharp piece of rock broadside on. Then happened a totally unexpected thing. As the canoe struck, a girl who had been lying at the bottom, raised herself suddenly, and stared at the water overside. 6n? nand clutching the gunwale. A srrond later the canoe drifted against another rock and suddenly tilted, throwing the girl Into the broken water. By this time, taken by surprise though he was, Stane was on his feet, and running down the bank. He did not stop to launch his canoe but just as he was flung himself into the water, and started to swim across the river, drifting a little with the current, striving to reach a point where he could intercept the girl as she drifted down. It was no light task he had set himse" for the current was strong, and i-ried him further than he intended r ‘> go. but he was in front of the piece of human flotsam which the river was claiming for its prey, and as it came nearer he stretched a hand and grasped at it. He caught a handful of chestnut hair ! that floated like long weed in the liver’s side and the next moment turned the girl over on her back She was unconscious, but as he glimpsed at her face, his heart leaped, for it was the face of that fair English girl of whom but a few minutes tefore he had been dreaming. He looked for something else to hold by, and finding nothing, twisted the long strand of hair he had gripped into a rope, and held it with his teeth Then he glanced round. The current had carried him further had realized, fend now quickened for its rush between the rocky ramparts, so that there was some danger of their ; being caught and swept through. As ! he realized that, he began to exert j al’ his strength, striking across the i current for the nearest bank, which j was the one farthest from his camp. A hundred yards down-stream a huge tree, by some collapse of the bank, had been flung from the post tion where it had grown for perhaps a hundred years, and now lay with Its crown and three-quarters of Its trunk in the river. Its roots, heavily) laden with earth, still clung to the j bank and fought with the river for j its prey. In a moment, as it seemed, they had reached it, and now holding the girl’s ha.r firmly In one hand, with the other he clutched at one of the branches. He caught it, and the next moment was unexpectedly ducked overhead in the icy water. He came up gapping, and then understood. The tree was what in the voyager’s nomenclature is known as a "sweeper." Still held by its roots it bobbed up and down with the current, and the extra stra nos his weight and the girl’s had sunk it deeper in the water. It still moved up and down and he had not finished spluttering when a new danger asserted itself. The suck of the current under the tree was tremendous. In a second, as it Beemed, the tree leaped like a horse and the water swept him and the girl under the trunk. Scarcely were they under when his free arm shot out and flung itself round a fresh bough which floated level with the water. Immediately the bough bobbed under, tut he was prepared for that, and after a brief rest, he set the girl’s hair between his teeth once more, and with both hands free began to work from bough to bough. One that he clutched gave an ominous crack. It began to sag in a dangerous way, and at the fork where it joined a larger branch a white slit appeared and began to grow wider. He watched it growing, his eyes quite steady, his mind alert for the emergency that it seemed must arrive, but the branch held for the space of time that he needed it; and it was with heartfelt relief that he grasped a larger bough, and the next moment touched bottom with his feet. At that he shifted his hold on the girl, towing her by a portion of her dress, and two minutes later lifted her beyond the water-line on the high shelving bank. The next moment he had her in his arms and was scrambling up the bank. Gasping he stood looking at her until he had recovered his breath, the girl unconscious of his gaze; then when he felt equal to the task, he plunged again into the river and swam to his own camp. A few minutes later he returned in his canoe, carrying with him a field water bottle filled with medical brandy. The girl lay as he had left her, and his first action was to pour a few drops of brandy between her parted lips, and that done he waited, chafing her hands. A minute later the longlashed eyelids fluttered and opened, and the gray eyes looked wildly round without seeing him. then closed again and a long sigh came from her as she lapsed into unconsclousnes anew. At that he wasted no more time. Lifting her. he carried her down to the car. 09. and paddling across the river, bore her up to his own camp, and laid her down where the heat of the Are would reach her, then he administered further brandy- and once more waited. Again the eyelids fluttered and opened, and the girl looked round with wild, uncomprehending gaze, then her eyes grew steady, and a moiAnt later fixed themselves upon Sta.k He waited, saw wonder light them, then in a voice that shook,

the girl asked; "How did —I—come here?” "That you know best yourself,” answered the young man. cheerfully. "I Ashed you out of the river, that is all I know." The girl made as if to reply; but Stane prevented her. "No, don’t try to talk for a little while. Wait! Take a little more of this brandy.” She lifted herself into a sitting posture, and he thoughtfully rolled a sack of beans to support her back, then she looked at him with a quick questioning gaze. "I have seen you before, have I not? You are the man who was at Fort Malsun, aren’t you—the man whom Mr. Ainley used to know?” "Yes,” he answered with a sudden bitterness, T am theVian whom Ainley used to know. My name Is Hubert Stane, and I am a discharged convict, as I daresay he told you.” "You—fished me out,” she said, her eyes on the rocks across the river. "Was it there the cfinoe overturned?” "Yes," he answered, "you struck the rocks." “Then you swam for me?” persisted the girl. “Had to,” he answered, carelessly. "Couldn't let you drown before my eyes—even if I am a convict!” "Tell me where you got me. I remember nothing about it.” He looked down the river. “As near as I can tell you, it was by that clump of firs there; though I was not able to land for quite a long distance beyond. You were unconscious, and I carried you along the opposite bank: then swam across for my canoe and ferried you over.
