BEGIN HERE TODAY Hubert Stane, dischargee convict, saves the life of Helen Yardely as her canoe trave's toward a dangerous waterfall. Gerald Ainley, one-lime friend of Stane. is in love with Helen, who Is the niece of a governor of the Hudson Bay Company. The governor and Helen are visiting at a northern post of the company. Stane and Helen start to walk the trail to the governor's camp, while ’ searches for Helen. Gera’d meet.- a half-breed, who tells him that he has seen Helen and Stane. He aecuses Ainley of shooting at Helen as her canoe passes along the river. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY EATING himself upon a fallen tree he scribbled a hasty, note to Sir James Yardely. telling him that he had news of Helen and that he hoped very shortly to return to camp with her, and having addressed it gave it to the half-breed. "There is no need for haste,” he said. "I will reward you now, and the great man whose niece the girl Is, will reward you further wheft you take the news of her that is in the letter. But you will remember not to talk. I should say nothing about what you saw up the river a few days back. Sir James is a suspicious man and he might think that you fired those shots yourself—in which case—” He shrugged his shoulders, then taking out a ten-dollar note, handed it to the half-breed, whose eyes gleamed as he took It. “Now,” he continued, “shoulder your canoe and come along to thd river. I should like to see you start. 11l carry your gun, and that sack of yours.”

WITH THE ROUGH SPLINTS SHE MADE SHIFT TO SET THE BROKHN LEG. He took the half-breed's gun, picked up the beans, and in single file they marched through the wood back to where the Indian sat patiently waiting. On their appearance he looked round, and as his eyes fell on the half-breed's face a momentary flash came Into them, and then as It passed he continued to look at the new-comer curiously. Ainley rapidly explained the situation and the Indian listened without

comment. He waited until the halfbreed was actually afloat and out of earshot, and then he spoke. "Bad man!” he said. “No good. Heem liar. I have seen heem b’fore.” “Maybe,” answered Ainley lightly. “So much the better —for one thing! But there’s no reason why he should lie about this matter, and I think he was telling the truth about that meeting up the other river. We’ll follow the trail anyway, and we will start at once. Will the portage or the river be the better way?” "Portage,” said the Indian, follow- | ing the half-breed with his eyes. “Then we had better get going, j We’ve no time to lose, and you needn’t j worry yourself about that fellow. | He’ll do what I’ve asked him, for the i sake of himself. He can have no reaj son for doing otherwise.” But in that, as in his statement I that the half-breed could have no ! reason for lying, Ainley was mistaken. , The stolen canoe was a very ample ! reason, and so little Inclined was the | thief to seek the presence of Sir James Yardely. that when he reached a creek three miles or so up the river, he deliberately turned aside, and at his first camp he used Ainley’s ' note to light his pipe, tossing what i \v ; s left of it into the fire without the i !cp compunction. Then, as he and. a look of malice came on ! . .‘ace. a
CHAPTER IX Under the Greenwood Tree j Slowly, and with pungent taste of raw brandy In his mouth. Hubert Stane came to himself. The first | thing he saw was Helen Yardely’s ; white face bending over him. and the 1 first sound he heard was a cry of ! sobbing gladness. j "Oh!” cried the girl. “You must ;be still, Mr. Stane. I am afraid you ; are rather badly hurt. Indeed, I I thought you were killed. lam going i to do what I can for you, now that , I know that you are not. Your leg j is broken, I think, and you have other , injuries, but that is most serious, and I must manage to set it, somehow.” "To set it—” he began, and broke I off. “Yes! I am afraid I shall not prove \ a very efficient surgeon; but I will do my best. I hold the St. John's Ambular.ce medal, so you might be worse | c>ff.” she said with a wan smile. Without more ado she departed, taking with her an ax. and presently through the stillness of the forest ] there reached him the sound of chop- | ping. Lying as he was on the flat of his back, he couldn't see the leg, and 1 desiring to do so he made a great j | effort and sat up. As he did so, he ' groaned heavily, and incontinently fainted. He was still unconscious when the i girl returned, and after one quick look of alarm she nodded to herself. ' “A faint.” she whispered. “Perhaps it is just as well.” With a knife she ripped the i jbrecefces lesr right up the seam, then with the aid of moss and a blanket, together with the rough splints she had cut, she made a shift to set the ! broken leg. At last she gave a sob of relief and stood up to survey her handiwork. The splicing and the binding looked terribly rough, but she was confident that the fractured ends of bon-* were In position, and in any case she had done her best. ; After that she busied herself with I building a fire, and af*er heating water, washed the wound on Stane'? | forehead, and carefully examined him for other injuries. Cutting a quantity of young spruce boughs she fashioned them into a bed close beside where he lay. and filled all the interstices with springy moss, laying over all a bftmket. That done, she turned once more to Stane, to find him with eyes wide open, watching her. The ordeal of getting Stane to bed was certainly a painful one, but by no means so difficult as the girl had anticipated. Making a sling out of the pack ropes, Helen held the injured leg clear of the ground, whilst ; Stane. using his arms and his other ! leg. managed to lift himself hack- i ward on to his improvised couch. Stane was too done up to eat much, j but he swallowed a fair quantity of coffee, whilst the girl foreed herself to eat. having already realized that the welfare of both of them for the time being depended upon her and upon her strength. When the meal was ended, she found his pipe, charged it for Mm. and procured him a light, and with a mupnur of thanks, Stane began to smoke. • "I thought I was done for,” he said as hr looted toward the tangled
trunks. “I slipped and plunged right Into a sort of crevasse, didn’t I?” “Yes,” answered Helen quietly. “It was a little time before I could find you. There was a kind of den made by crossed trunks, and you had slipped between them. Into it.” “How did you manage to get me out?” he asked, his eyes on the amazing jumble of trunks and branches. “■Well,” was the reply, given with a little laugh, “as I told you this morning. I am fairly strong. But It. was a hard task for all that. I had to cut away qui*e a number of interlacing branches, and hoist you out of the crevasse with the pack ropes, then slide you down the deadfall as best I could. When I got you to the ground, I went through your pack and found the brandy wfcich I saw you place there this morning. The rest you know.” Stane looked at her with eyes that glowed with admiration. “You make It a little thing,”- he said gratefully, “but I know what it means. You have saved my life. Miss Yardely." The girl flushed crimson, and then laughed a little to hide her embarrassment. “Oh, as to that—we are quits, Mr. Stane.” He looked at her and noticed for the first time that her blouse was badly torn. Half of one sleeve was ripped away, and there was a long tear through which he caught the gleam of a white shoulder. Her skirt he saw was in no better case. She caught his glance and laughed. / “I’m a perfect Cinderella! It will take me hours to sew up these rents.” “D<f you think it Is worth while?” he asked with a faint gmile. “I’m not much yf a tailoring ysglf, and I should

“But what else can I do?” she demanded. "I can’t get in a taxi and run down to Bond St., on a shopping expedition.” "No,” he answered slowly, "but you might look in the pack you carried today. There’s a habit there that is better suited to the woods than tfie one you have.” Divining that his advice would be accepted he turned to a fresh subject. “Where are you going to sleep? You ought not to have given me the tent.” She waved a hand airly. “Outside. There isn’t much room here. Dike R. L. S. sleeping out with his donkey I shall discover anew pleasure for myself.” ”1 am afraid you will it an exaggerated pleasure. Miss Yardely.” “Then It will be strictly for one night only,” she said. "Tomorrow I shall build a shack of boughs and bark like one I watched an Indian building, down on the Peace River.” The girl went outside, and after sitting for quite a long time looking in the fire, retired to the couch of spruce which she had prepared for herself, and almost instantly fell asleep. Four hours afterwards she awakened suddenly and looked around hnr. A rosy glpw -through the trees BPOclalned the dawn. The forest was wonderfully still, and there seemed no reason whatever for the sudden awakening. Then a stream of meaningless babble came through the canvas wall of the te*-t. She sat up Instantly, and listened. Plainly,

Three minutes later she was inside the tent, her brow puckered with anxiety. Stane lay there with flushed face, wide-open eyes that glittered with a feverish light. For the moment he was quiet, but whilst she still stood wondering what she should do, the delirium broke out again, a mere babble of words without meaning, some English, some Indian, in which she found only two that for her had any significance. One was Gerald Alnley’s name, and the other the name of the beautiful Indian girl whom she had k?.en talking with the 3lck man down fit Ft. Malsun—Mlskodeed. i • v ?
