BEGIN HERE TODAY Hubert Stane. discharged convict, saves the life of He m Yardely as her canoe travels toward a dangerous waterfall. Helen is the niece of a gov- ■■ ■ r o th Hudson Bay Company. They are visiting at a northern post 01 the company. VVhi:e wa king the trai to return Helen to her uncle's camp. Stane is severely in ured in a fa . He.en decides to remain and care for him. Gerald Ainley. one-time friend of Stane, is in love with Helen. He goes in search of the missing girl and meets a half-breed who says he has seen Helen and Siane together. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XI A Forest Fire IR YARDELY sat in the shelrer of his tent looking: anxiously at Gerald Ainley. ‘‘Then you have not found my niece, Ainley?” ‘‘No, Sir James! But I have news of her, and I am assured she Is alive.” Ainley thereupon described the search he had made, and produced the swastika brooch, explaining the circumstances under which he had found it, and then gave an account of the meeting with the half-breed and of the latter's declaration that he had seen Helen going up the malt) river In a canoe with a white man. Sir James stared through the tentdoor at the wild landscape before him. His face showed a lightening of his anxiety, though it was clear that the turn of events puzzled him. “This unfortunate affair has upset me. It has quite disarranged my

I have decided to cut out the visits to the posts north of this, and to work across to the Peace river, and so southward. “You are going back?" criejl Ainley in some consternation. “You are going to leave Miss Yardely—” “No, my dear fellow',” Interrupted Sir James, anticipating the conclusion of his subordinate’s sentence. "I am not going to leave her to her fate. lam going to leave you to find her. I Live thought the matter out very carefully. I shall leave four

The function 1 of the kidneys <is to filter the blood. In twenty-four hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active. Drink lots of good water—you can’t drink too much: also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning 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 heip clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so"they are no longer a source of Irrigation. thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not injure: makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink, which every one should take now and then to heip keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this; also keep up the water drinking, and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache. By all means bave your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.—Advertisement.

Indians with you, and shall establish a camp at this point, so that in the event of Helen returning here you will not miss her by any chance. I shall send a messenger to Rodwell, at Fort Malsun, Instructing him to send you down an outfit that will last the winter if necessary, and you will have blanche to follow your own plans. Yes, Sir James! I shall spare no effort to that end, and I may say that, if possible. I am even more anxious about her than you.” A haif-smlle came on the great man's face, as he nodded: “I understand, Ainley; I am not blind. It was for that reason I decided that you should have charge of the searchparty. seeing that you have —er — extra inducements. Find my niece, bring her back to me, and then we can talk over the matter.” At the very time when Ainley w r as congratulating himself on the opportunity opening out before him, Helen Yardely was seated on a log by the side of the man whom he hated. There w r as a high color in her face and she was laughing a little nervously as she looked at the astonished face of the sick man who had been her rescuer and was now her patient. “Miss Yardely,” cried Stane, “do vou really mean w'hat you say?” “Os course I do,” replied the girl lightly. “And Gerald Ainley with another man camped within two of here two nights ago?” "I should say the distance to the lake Is even less than that,” replied Helen with a little laugh. Stane looked at her incredulously. Here was something that was beyond him. “Why—why did you let them go?” he cried sharply. “You forget my pride as amateur surgeon and nurse,” she retorted. “I like to see the end of things that I begin, and if I had brought Mr. Ainley up here he would have wanted to take me away, and leave you with the Indian.” She broke off. and looked at him with a gay smile. “Perhaps you would have preferred-*-*’ "No! &o!” he interrupted protestingly. “And there is another reason —quite as selfish as the last. You see, Mr. Stane. I have been delicately reared: boarding schooj, Newham —the usual round you know! London in the season. Scotland in the autumn, and the shires for the hunting months. It is an inane sort of life, as I have always telt pleasant enough at first, but Inane for all that, and aftej a time rather a bore. Can you understand that?” She broke off. and gave a little laugh, then continued: “Now’ I havo my chance to prove I’m something better than a do’l, and I'm not going to be robbed of It by Gerald Ainley. rhy uncle, or any one else! This camp depends on me for a time at least, and I'm going to make good: and prove myself for my own satisfaction. Do you understand?” ’ “Yes,” answered Stane, his eyes shining with admiration. And there was no question that Helen Yardely was happy. She radiated gladness as she made her way toward the lake carrying an express rifle in the crook of her arm. As she reached the lake side, however, she looked round sniffing the air thoughtfully. There %vas a fire somewhere, for there w r as the smell of burning spruce in the atmosphere. There was nothing In her snares, but as she approached a large natch of water-reeds a fl ock of wild geese rose into the air, "honking” In alarm. Instantly the rifle was at her shoulder, and as she fired, a gander jerked In the air. and then fell like a s'one back into the re°ds. It tool: her some time to retrieve it, and when she had done so. she looked round again. Putz’ed, she returned to the camp, looked at her own fire which was hu-nine low and which ennid not pos]>>ly he the exnlanaMon of that which was perplexing her, and without saying anything to her companion about It, turned in for the night.

She awoke early to find o wind humming in the tre®-tons and immediately there impinged upon her ros'rils the odor of burning wood. T T p the lake-side the shore was hidden under rolling clouds of smoke, the dark g-een of the woods was shrouded by the same bluish veil, and ‘hr air seemed full of distant crackling. Out of the veil or smoke as she watched broke a long leaping tongue of yellow fiame. and the air blowing toward her seemed hot as a furnace. Her face paled before the terror in front. Her first thought was for the sick man who was in her care. The ‘•amp was dhertly in the line of fire, and, if the wind kept up. must inevitnh'y burn, ghe wnnld have to get him away. But how? Stane was awake, lifted up on one elbow, an anxious look upon his face. As his eyes saw her pallor, he knew that a fear which in the last few moments had come to him was not groundless. “Ah!” he cried. “ the timber is on fire! I thought I could smell it.” ‘‘Yes,’’ she answered, “and the wind is driving the fire this way.” “You will have to go. Miss Yardely,” he answered quickly. “The fire travels quickly in such timber a? this. You must not mind me—” “You want me to run away and leave you to die,” cried the girl. “I shall do nothing of the kind. I would sooner die myself! I could never respect myself again. There must be some way out of this difficulty, only I don’t know it. But you are used to the ways of this wilderness. You must tell me what to do, and quickly, and I will do it. Oh—if we only had a canoe!” “We haven’t,” he answered thoughtfully “but the next best thing, we | rr.uld make, and ” "What is that?” “A raft!” “A raft?” she echoed, hope lighting her face 1 “Yes If by any means you could ' get me down to the lakeside. I could 1 instruct you In the construction. But hmy you are going to do that ” "I Shall carry you,“ interrupted the

girl. “It will be very painful for you. but there is no other way.” “But how—?” “On my back! I am strong, thank Heaven! And as we have no time to waste I will make arrangements at once. I’ll take our things down to the shore, and then come back for you.” CHAPTER XII The Raft Never in her life had Helen Yardely worked so hard as she worked in the next two hours. She made two journeys to the lake with their possessions and on the way back the second time she arranged several resting places in preparation for the hardest task of all —the carrying of her injured compan ion down to the shore. She did what she could with an improvised sling and helped him to stand on his uninjured leg. She was afraid that he was about to faint, but he recovered himself and three-quar-ters of a minute later she was carry ing him pick-a-back to the lake side. Twice she heard a groan tom from him, but she set her teeth and pointed to the first resting place, where, as gently as she could, she set him on the trunk of a fallen tree which, supported by its under branches, lay waist-high. Instantly she felt for his service water bottle which she had previously filled with brandy and water, and pouring out some' of the liquid, she held it toward him. "Drink,” she said, ball of it.” He did so, and when they had rested five minutes, they started again and and after halting twice more, reached the shore, where she set L..m down on a convenient rock, fceloar wiilcfr she

had piled bl.ankets to support his Injured leg. It was a little time before either of them could speak, and it was the man who did so first. “Miss Yardely, take a little brandy. I impiore you!” Helen looked up, nodded without speaking, and with shaking hands poured out a little of the spirits for herself. After a time her breath came back, and she rose to her fe^t.
