BEGIN’ HERE TODAY Hubert Stane. discbarg-cd eon ict, rl?it a northern post of the Hudson Bay Company He meets an old-time friend. Gerald Ainley. who promises to call at Stane's camp at midnitrht. Stane becomes acquainted with an Indian firl mimed Miskodeed. At midnight Stane is attached and carried away by Indians in a canoe. He awaken* to find himself in strange surroundings. Ainley ie In love with Helen Yardely. niece of a governor ol the company. Helen disappears from her uncle’s catnp and Gerald goes in search of her. Stane rescues Helen from the river as her canoe travels toward a dangerous waterfoll. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY l_l but walked to the little fly- * *1 tent, and three or four minutes later emerged puffing a pipe. He waved towards the tent, and turning away began to walk rapidly up river. Helen Yardely sat where she was for a moment looking after him. There was a very thoughtful expression on her face. She walked to the tent, and with amused eyes looked at the articles of attire obviously arranged for her inspection. A gray flannel shirt, a leather belt, a pair of Bedford cord breeches, a pair of moccasins, miles too large for her, and a mackinaw jacket a little the worse for wear. CHAPTER VI A Mysterious Shot Twenty minutes later, as Hubert Stane returned along the river bank, he saw the girl emerge from the tent, and begin to arrange her own sodden attire where the heat of the fire would dry it. The girl completed her task

“WELL?” SHE ASKED. CHALLENGING HIS GAZE. just as he arrived at the camp, and stood upright, the rich blood running in her fa-' s. Then a flash of laughter came in her gray eyes. “Well”’ she asked, challenging his gaze. ■’You -take a very proper man,” he answei and, laughing. Without further delay he began to prepare a meal, heating an already roasted partridge on a spit and making coffee, which, with biscuit, he set before her. MOTHER!

How to Make Pine Cough Syrup at Home Bu no rqoal for prompt rronlt*. Take* but a moment to prepare, and aavea yon about $2,

Pine is used In neerly all prescriptions and remedies for coughs. The reason is that pine contains several elements In soothing and healing the membranes of the throat and chest. Pine congb syrups are combinatk ns of pine and syrup. The •‘syrup” part is usually plain sugar syrup. To make the best pine cough remedy that money can buy. put 2><j ounces of Pinex in a pint bottle, and till up with home-made sugar syrup. Or you can use clarified molasses, honey, or corn symp, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, you make a full pint—more than you can buy ready-made for three times the money. It is pare, good and tastes very pleasant. You can feel this take hold of a cough or cold In a way that means business. The cough may be dry, hoarse and tight, or may be persistently loose from the formation of phlegm. The cause is the same—inflamed membranes—and this Pinex and Syrup combination will stop it —usually In 24 hours or less. Splendid, too, for hoarseness, or any ordinary throat ailment. Pinex Is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, and Is famous the world over for its prompt effect upon coughs Beware of substitutes. Ask <■**- gist for "2H ounces of Pinex- rv.tST directions, and don’t accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction or money refunded. The Pinex Cos., Ft. Wayne, ind.—Advertisement.

Stane once more left the camp, taking with him a hatches, and presently returned dragging with him branches of young spruce with which he formed a bed a little way from the fire. On this he threw a blanket, and his preparation for the night completed, turned to the girl once more. “I never enjoyed a meal so much lr- my life,” she declared, as she lifted the tin plate from her lap. “And this coffee is delicious. Won t you have some, Mr. Stane?” “Thank you, Miss a—Miss—” “Yardely is my name,” she said cuickly, “Helen Yardely.” He took the coffee as she handed it to him ir. an enameled mug, then he said: “How did you come to be adrift. Miss Yardely?” As he asked the question a thoughtful look came on the girl’s beautiful face. “I was making a little trip by myself,” she said slowly, “to see a beaver dam in a creek a little below our encampment, and someone shot at me!” “Shot at you!” Stane stared at her in amazement as he gave the exclamation. “Yes, twice! The second shot broke my paddle, and as I had no spare one, and as I cannot swim, I could do nothing but drift with the current.” “It was a very forunate thing you struck those rocks,” said Stane meditatively. “Fortunate, Mr. Stane? Why?” “Because in all probability I should not have seen you if you had not; and a few miles below here, there are some bad rapids, and below' them the river makes a leap downwards of nearly a hundred feet.” “A fall?” cried the girl, her face blanching a little, as she flashed a glance down-stream. “Oh, that would have been terrible! It was fortunate that you were here.”

“Very,” he agreed earnestly, “and I am beginning to think that it was providential: though all day I have been cursing my luck that I should have been in this neighborhood at all. I have no business here.” “Then why—” she began, and stopped as if a little afraid that her question was too frankly curious. “You need not mind asking, Miss Yardely: because the truth is that my presence in this neighborhood is due to a mystery that is almost as insoluble as the one that brought you drifting down-stream. On the night after you arrived at Ft. Malsun, I was waiting at my tent door for—er—a man whom I expected a visit front, when I was knocked on the head by an Indian, and when I to. I found I was a prisoner under sentence of deportation. We traveled some days, rather a round-about journey, as I have since guessed, and one morning I awoke to find my captors had disappeared, leaving me with my canoe and stores and arms absolutely untouched.” “You say you were waiting for a man when you were seized, Mr. Stane. tell me. was the man Gerald Ainley?’’ The young man was a little startled by her question, as his manner showed, hut he answered frankly: "Yes! But how did you guess that?” Helen Yardelv smiled. “Oh. that was quite easy. You were the topic of conversation at the dinner table on the very night that you disappeared, and I gathered that to the factor you were something of a mystery, whilst no one except Mr. Ainley knew any'hing whatever about you. As you and he were old acquaintances, what more natural than that you should be waiting for him? I suppose he did not come?” “If he did. I never saw' him —and I waited for him two nights!” “Two!” cried Helen. “Then he could not have wanted to come.” “ I rather fancy he did not," replied Stane with a bitter laugh. “You wished to see him very much?” asked the girl quickly "It was important that you should?” "I wished *o question him upon a matter that was important to me.” “Ah!” said the girl in a tone that was full of significance. Stane looked at her sharply, and then asked a question: “What are you thinking, Miss ■*Y;rd;}yT ■’ “Oh. I wts just thinking that I had guessed one of your wildly possible reasons. Mr. Stane: and to tell the truth, if Mr. Aliyev was rqally anxious t-s avoid answering your questions, it does not seem to me so inherently improbable as you appear to think.” “What convinces you of that, Miss Yardely?” “Well.” she replied quickly, “you say the Indian told you that It was an order. I ask myself—whose order? There were very few people at Ft. Malsun to give orders. I think of them In turn. The factor? You were a stranger to him! My uncle? He never heard of you except in gossip over the dinnert-ahle the night you were deported. Gerald Ainley? He knew' you! He had made appointments with you that he twice failed to keep—which, quite evidently, he had no intention of keeping. He had —may I guess?—some strong reason for avoiding you: and he is a man of some authority In the company and moving to still greater. He would ; not know the Indians who actually carried you away; but Factor Rodwell would, and factors are only human. and sooner or later Gerald Ain--1 ley will be able to considerably influence Mr. Rodwell’s future. Therefore —well. Q E. D.! Do you not agree with me?” “I find your argument convincing,” I answered Stane, grimly. Then he lapsed into thoughtful silence, whilst i the girl watched him. wondering what j was in his mind. Presently she knew, | Tor moat unexpectedly the young mair gave vent to a short laugh. “What a fool the man is!” he declared. “He must know that we shall meet again sometime! . . . But, Miss Yardely, I am keeping you from your rest! We must start betimes in the morning if I am to take you back to your uncle." “If ycu take me back ?” “There Is no question of that,” he dream of leaving you here." “I was about to say you would very likely meet Gerald Ainley. He has joined my uncle’s party.” "it much the better," cried Stane. “I shall certainly go." At the first hint of dawn, Stane

rose from his seat, gathered up the girl’s now dry raiment, and put it in a heap at the tent door, then procuring a canvas bucket of water he set that beside the clothes and busied himself with preparing breakfast. After a little time Helen emerged from tho tent. "Good morning, Mr. Stane,” she said in gay salutation, "you are the early bird. I hope you slept well." "May I reciprocato the hope, Miss Yardely?" "Never better, thank you. I think hunger and adventure must be healthful 1 slept like tho Seven Sleepers rolled into one; X feel as fresh as the morning, and as hungry as—well, you will see," she ended with a laugh. "Then fall to,” he said, joining in the laughter. “The sooner the breakfast is over the sooner we shall start.” “I warn you I am in no hurry,” she retorted gaily. "I quite like this. It is the real thing; whilst my uncle’s camps are just civilization imposing itself on the wilderness.” Breakfast finished, they struck camp, launched the canoe and began to piddle up-stream. The current was strong, and their progress slow, but after some threo hours they ar rived at the junction of the two rip*rs. Then Stane asked a question- " Which way did you come, Miss Yardely? Dbwn tho main stream or the other one?” The girl looked towards the meeting of the waters doubtfully. "I do not know,” she said. "I certainly do
