BEGIN HERE TODAY Hubert Stane. dishcarped convict, saves the ilfe of Helen Yardely as her canoe travels toward a dangerous waterfall. Helen ana her uncle, a governor of the Hudson Bay Company, are camping near a northern post' of the company. Helen and Stane start to walk the trail to the governor's camp. Stane is tnj red in a fall and Helen nurses him. A forest fire breaks out and Helen starts to built a raft. Get aid Ainley former friend of Stane is in love with Helen. While searching for the missing girl Gerald meets a half-breed who has seen Helen and Stane together. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY •ni HILST waiting for her to reW cover Stane had noted numerous sun-dried poles scattered about the beach, and those he pointed to. “Get about seven of those. Miss Yardely, as near equal length as you can. Gather them as close to the water’s edge as possible, and then get some saplings for cross pieces. Lash the poles well together with the tent and pack-ropes, and put a little spruce on the top to help us keep dry.” The girl looked round and pointed to a little creek where the water was very stilL “I could build it afloat there. There’s a gravelly bottom and it’s not deep.” “Yes!” he said quickly. “That wculd be better!” For an hpur he sat there watching her work, And marketing the swift progress of the fire. He had begun to think that after all her endeavors had been In vain, when she approached him, sweat running down her flushed face, and drenched well above the knees. "You will have to set your teeth," she said. *T shall have to carry you out to the raft.” It was no easy task to get him on to it, but she had pushed the raft well

“IT IS SOME TRAPPER’S HUT.” in the reeds so that it could not give, and though it was a painful operation for him, he was presently lying on a pile made of the tent canvas and blankets. Ten minutes later when he opened his eyes, they were afloat, and she was poling the raft into deeper water. She looked at him as his eyes opened. ‘‘You will have to pole us out, as far as you can, and then we must drift." "It is the only way,” she agreed “Fortunately this lake seems very shallow.”^. Ten minutes later the pole failed to touch bottom, and a current of water setting across the lake began to drift them well from the shore. As he saw that, Stane gave a sigh of relief. Helen glanced towards the shore, and gave an involuntary' shudder. The

A THREE DAYS’ COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion. an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is anew medical discovery with twofold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and kills the germ. Os all known drugs, creosote is recognized by the medical fraternity as the greatest healing agency for the treatment of chronic coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the Wood, attacks the seat of the trouble and destroys the germs that lead to aerlous complications. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of chronic coughs and colds, catarrhal bronchitis and other forms of throat diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or the flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long standing, is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist. Creomulsion Cos., Atlanta, Ga.—Advertisement.

| fire was running through the forest like a wild beast. The raft drifted slowly along, borne by a current towards the northern end of the lake and crossing it obliquely, and the girl crouched in her place apparently absorbed in the spectacle the Are afforded. ,An hour passed, and then glancing at her Stane saw that she had fallen asleep. She slept for quite a long time, and when she opened, her eyes, she looked round in surprise. The fire | still roared on its way through the ■ woods on. the distant shore, over \ which hung a huge pall of smoke, j but the raft was now a long way from the zone of destruction and drifting slowly but surely towards the northern end of the lake. She measured with her eyes the distance they had drifted, and looked towards the shore which they were steadily approaching, then she spoke. “There is some cold bacon somewhere, left over from yesterday, and that small box of biscuits. I will And them. We must eat. Fortunately, we're not likely to be short of water.” She laughed a little as she spoke, then rising, began to look for food, which, when she had found it, she divided between them She herself ate the simple meal with a relish that surprised herself, and then looked around once more. They had drifted nearer the shore, and locking overside, she could see the bottom of the lake At that she clapped her hands. “The water is shadowing.” she cried “I believe I can resume my uunting.” She took up her pole and finding that she could touch bottom, began to pole the raft Inshore, and in twenty minutes she was looking for a place to land. She found It in a quiet little bay beyond a tree-crowned bluff, and in a little time she had beached the clumsy craft, and jumped ashore.

Her first action was to gather kindling wood for a fire, and to set the kettle over It. and that done, once more she pitched the tent and made a bed for her patient: then with great trouble and some pain for him. she got him from the raft to the spruce couch: after which she examined the rough splints and bandages. They were in place and hoping that the leg had suffered no harm through the enforced removal, she prepared hot tea and such a meal as their resources allowed. ”T shall have to build anew house lor myself, tomorrow," she laughed as she sipped the tea “And I shall Insure it against fire. 1 shall be quite an expert architect and builder by the time I reach civilization." “Well.” Stane explained, "it will he some weeks at least before A can face the trail, and that means that autumn will be on us before we can move.” No more was said upon the matter until next day. when whilst she was engaged In building anew tepee for herself she hurried into the camp, and picked up the rifle. “What is it?” he asked. “Meat.” she whispered laughingly, "on four legs and with horns. I don't know the precise name of it. but T think it is a woodland caribou. It has come down to the water just the other side of the bluff. I am going to stalk it.” A few minutes later, when Helen leturned. there was a gleeful look upon her face. “Got it!” she criel “We'll have a change of diet todav” “You have sfill plenty of work before you.” said Stane. after con gratulating her. "The beast ~111 need skinning and—” •Tghi” she interrupted with a little grimace. “I know, and that will be messy work for me. since I kr.ow nothing at all about, it.” As well as he could he gave her instructions, and armed with his long hunting knife, she presently de parted. If was two hours before she returned, carrying with her a Junk of meat wrapped in a portion of ti e skin. CHAPTER XIII A F/odge in the Wilderness It was six weeks later. The dawn came less early, and nightfall perceptibly sooner. There was anew crispness in the air, and the leaves on the trees were losing their greenness and taking on every possible shade, from pale yellow to old gold, and from that to duskv red. Both Stane and Helen Yardely noticed the signs. Autumn was upon them and they were still in their camp by the lake, though now Stane was able to hobble about with a pair of crutches made from a couple of forked sticks, padded with moss at the forks for his arms, and covered with caribou skin. Helen herself was busy from dawn to sunset. Fish were caught and dried, rahbits and hares snared, not merely for meat, but for their skins, which when a sufficient number had been accumulated were fashioned into parkas and blankets against the Arctic cold which was surely marching on them. One afternoon the girl returned from a hunting expedition with excitement shining in her gray eyes. “T have found something.” she announced abruptly. “What is it?” “There is a cabin up the lake, about three miles away.” “A cabin?”

OUCH! IMAGO PAIN! RUB BACKACHE AWAY Kidneys cause backache? No! Listen! Your backache is caused by lum bago, sciatica, or a strain, and the quickest relief is soothing, penetrating St. Jacobs Oil. Rub it right on your painful back, and instantly the sorenees, stiffness and lameness disappears. Don’t stay crippled! Get a small trial bottle of St. Jacobs Oil from your druggist and limber up.

“Yes, and a very nice one, logs with a stone chimney and a parchment window. There was no one about, and the ’ door was only held by a hasp and a wooden peg, so I ventured to look in. It has a stove, a rough table, a bunk and a couple of logs plainly meant for chairs. Stane considered her news for a moment and then gave an obvious explanation. “It is some trapper’s hut. He is away, and will probably return for the trapping season." “Yes,” she answered with a nod. “I thought that was the explanation. But there is nothing to prevent us taking possession until the owner returns, if he ever does, is there?" “No," he answered slowly. “Then tomorrow I will raft you up to our new abode,” she answered cheerfully. "There is no wind, and has been none for days. It will be easy to pole the raft along the shore.’’ Having announced this decision she began to busy herself about the camp, singing softly to herself; and Stane watched her with appreciative eyes. She was now the strong mate-woman, quick in judgment, resourceful in action, and of swift courage In danger. His eyes glowed as he watched her, and a soft look came on his face. As it happened Helen turned and saw it. “What is it?” she asked quickly, a look of expectancy in her eyes. He hesitated. That look challenged him. He knew that if he said all that he felt she would respond. But the unfairness of such action prevented him from doing so, and though he was strongly tempted he turned, aside. J

“Nothing that I can tell you,” he said in answer to her question. “Oh!” she retorted, “you are a most tantalizing person. Why can not you teli me? If the ma.tter is secret you have no cause to be afraid. To whom could I whisper it in this wilderness?" “I am not afraid of your whispering it to any one,” replied Stane, with a poor attempt at laughter. "Then why not tell me?” she urged.
