BEGIN HER TODAY Hubert Stane. a discharged convict, while visiting a northern post of the Hudson Bay Company, meets an old friend. Gerald Ain ey, who promises to call at Stands camp at midnight. Stane becomes acquainted with Miskodeed, beautiful Indian girl. At midnight Stane is attacked and carried off by Indians. He asfaker.s to find himself in strange surroundings. Ainley, traveling with a governor of the tompany. falls in love with Helen Yardely. the governor’s niece. Helen disappears from her uncie’s camp and Gerald goes in search of her. Stane rescues Helen from the river when her canoe travels toward a dangerous waterfall. NOW GO ON WITH THE STOItY >l ES! That is the name. I J | remember my uncle mentionI ing it yesterday.” “Then you came down the main stream for a certainty, for the old fort stands on a lake that finds an outlet into this river, though It is rather a long way from here. We will keep straight on. No doubt we shall strike either your unale's camp or some search party presently." As it happened the conclusion he reached was based on a miscalculation. The only waterway to old Fort Winagog that he knew was from the main river and up the stream that formed the outlet for the lake. But there was another that was reached by a short portage through the woods from the subsidiary 7 stream from which he turned aside, a waterway which fed

HE WAS A HALF-BREED OF EVIL COUNTENANCE the lake, and which cut off at least a hundred and twenty miles. Knowing nothing of this shorter route he naturally concluded that Helen Yardely’s canoe had come down the main stream and took the wrong course In the perfect assurance that It was the right one. So hugging the left bank they passed the junction of the rivers, and a little further on crossed to the other side to seek shelter from a rising wind, un der the high bank. And less than an hour later the canoe, carrying Gerald Ainley and his Indian, swept out of the tributary stream into the broader current, and they drove downstream, unconscious that every stroke of the paddle was taking them farther from the girl whom they sought.

WHEN KIDNEYS HURT DRINK MORE WATER The American men and women must guard constantly against kidney trouble because we often eat too much rich food. Our blood is filled with acids which the kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken from overwork, become slursish, the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline In health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead, your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or if you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, begin drinking lots of good soft water and get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts. Take a tablespoonful 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 grapee and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of irritation, thus often relieving bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot injure, makes a delightful effervescent lithla-water drink and belongs In every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys *. Ib&st twice a year.-—Advertisement.

CHAPTER VII Stranded It was high noon when Hubert Stane directed the nose of the canoe toward a landing place in the lee of a sand-bar, on the upper side of which was a pile of dry driftwood suitable for tiring. He lit a fire, prepared a wilderness meal of bacon and beans (the latter already li i If-cook t. ib ana biscuit and coffee, and as they consumed it, he watched the river, a long stretch of which was visible. The long day drew to its close and the camp they sought had not appeared; nor had any search-party materialized. As they pitched camp for the night, the doubt which all day had been in Stane’s mind became a certainty. “I am afraid we have made a mis take. Miss Yardely. You must have come down the other river.” “I am sory to give you all this trouble,” said the girl contritely. “Please—please!” he answered in quick protest. ‘’Believe me it is a pleasure to serve you, and with me a few days do not matter. 1 shall have enough of my own company before long.” “You live alone?” asked Helen. "I have an old Indian for compan-

ion.” “And what do you do, if you will permit me to be so curious?” “Oh,” he laughed. "I hunt, pursue the elpsive nugget, and I experiment with vegetables. And this winter I am going to start a trapping line.” “But you are rich!” she cried, “you have no need to live in exile.” "Yes.” he answered with sudden bitterness. “I am rich. I suppose Ainley' told you that. But exile the only thing for me. You see a sojourn In Dartmoor spoils one for county society.” v “Oh.” she cried, protestingly, “I can not believe that you—that > r ou ” “Thank you,” he said as the girl broke off in confusion. “I can not believe it myself. But twelve good men and true believed it; an expert in handwriting was most convincing, ar<l if you had heard the judge—“ “But you did not do it, Mr. Stane, I am sure of that.” "No" he answered. “I did not do the thing for which I suffered. But to prove my innocence is another matter.” "You have not given up the endeavor, I hope.” "No! I have a man at work in England, and I myself make small endeavors Only the other day I thought that I—” Apparently he remembered something, for he broke off sharply. "But why 7 discuss the affair? It is only one of the world’s smajl injustices which shows that the law, usually right, may go wrong occasionally.” “I suppose that the other night when you were waiting for Mr. Ainley. it was on this particular matter that you wished to see him?" Stane made no reply, but sat looking in the fire, and the girl watching him. drew her own conclusions from his silence, a conclusion that was far from favorable to Gerald Ainley 7 . She wondered what were the questions Stane had wished to ask her uncle’s secretary; and which, as she was convinced, he had been at such pains to avoid. Was it possible that her rescuer believed that his one-time friend had It in his power to prove his innocence of the crime

for which he .had suffered? All the indications seemed to point that way; and as she looked at the grave, thoughtful face, and the graying hair of the man who had saved her from death, she resolved that on the morrow, when she reached her uncle’s camp she would herself question Gerald Ainley upon the matter. But, as events befell, the opportunity that the morrow was to bring was not given. For that night, whilst she slept in the little tent, and Stane. wrapped In a b.’anket. elumbered on a bed of spruce boughs, perhaps half a dozen yards away, a man crept cautiously between the trees in the rear of the encampment, and stood looking at it with covetous eyes. He was a half-breed of evil countenance, and he carried an old trade gun. which he held ready for action whilst he surveyed the silent camp. His dark eves fell on Stane sleeping In the open, ar.d then locked toward the tent with a question In them. Evidently Re was wondering how many travelers there were: and found the thought a deterrent one; for though once he lifted Ills gun and pointed It to the sleeping man. he lowered It again, his eyes turning to the tent anew. After a period of indecision, the Intruder left the shadow of the trees, and crept quietly down to the camp. Us gun still at the ready, and with fcis eyes fixed on the unconscious Stane. Moving very autiously he reached the place where the canoe was beached, and looked down Into it. A gleam of satisfaction came into nls dark eyes as he saw a small sack of beans reposing in the stern, then again a covetous look came Into them as their gaze shifted to the stores about the camp. But these were very near the sleeping man. and as the latter stirred In his sleep, the half-breed relinquished any thought of acquiring them. Stealthily he conveyed the canoe down to the water’s edge, launched it. and then with a grin on his evil face as he gave a last look at tlie man in the blanket, he paddled away A full three-quarters of an hour later Stane awoke, and kicking aside the blankets, replenished the fire, and then went a little way up-stream to bathe. At the end of half an hour he returned. His first glance was towards the tent, the fly of which was btill closed, then he looked round the camp and a puzzle look came on his face. There was something a little unfamiliar. something not present which- - “Great Scott! The canoe!’ At a run he covered the space between him and the camp, and as he looked round and saw that most of the stores reposed where he had placed them the previous night, relief purged in his heart. “Thank heaven!” “Mr Stan-', what the matter?

You look as if something had startled you.” He swung round instantly. Helen Yardely was standing at the tent door with a smile on her face. “The matter is serious enough,” he explained quickly. “Someone nas stolen the canoe In the night.” “Then we are stranded?” asked the girl quickly. “In a way—yes,” he agreed. “But we are not In a desperate case.

replied Helen with a little laugh. "I’ve had my full of drifting like a fly caught in an eddy.” She said no more, but taking the kettle, walked down to the river, humming to herself a gay little chanson. He watched her go, with a soft light gleaming In his hard blue eyes, then he turned and began to busy himself with preparations for breakfast. When the meal was finished, he went through the stores and hts personal possessions. “We can’t take them all,” he explained. “I know my limit, and sixty pounds is as much as I can carry along If I am ' -ii-ol steadily, without too many rests. We shall have to cache a goodlsh bit.” “You are forgetting me, aren’t you?” asked the girl, quietly. “I’m fairly strong, you know.” “But—” “I think I must Insist.” she interrupted with a smile. / "You are doing all this for me; and quite apart from that I shall be glad to know what the trail Is like under real conditions.” Stane argued further, but In vain, and In the end the girl had her way, and took the trail with a pack of perhaps five and twenty pounds, partly made up of -the clothes she had changed Into after her rescue.
