BEGIN HERE TODAY Hubert Stane rescues Helen Tardely from a canoe traveling toward a dangerous waterfall. Startle la a discharged convict . He volunteers to return Helen to fcer uncle s camp. Helen s uncle is a governor of the Hudson Bay Company. They ars camping near a northern post of the company. Gerald Alnley is in love with Helen. Stane and the girl flee on a raft from a forest fire and settle in a deserted cabin they find on the trail. They hear someone prowling outside the cabin at night. In the morning they follow the marks of moccasined feet in the snow. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY SS she cried the words she j pointed over its snow-laden surface, and Stane, looking in the direction indicated, saw that which made his heart leap. A dog-team was j coming up the lake, with a man on ! snow-shoes packing the trail In frcnt. j “Who can it be?" asked the girl j in some excitement. “The owner of the cabin —for acer- i tainty!” answered Stane, conscious of a sudden relief from the anxiety which the morning had brought. “Then,” answered the girl quietly, “you wait to welcome him, whilst I go and prepare a meal.” She passed Into the cabin, whilst j Stane walked down to the shore of ••he lake. The traveler whoever he 1 was. was making directly for the! cabin, and watching, Stane saw that j he walked wearily as if he had come i far, or was suffering from some weakness. It was quite an appreciable time before he saw Stane standing to welcome him, and when he did so, he gave a Joyous shout. Stane answered the hall, and a few min- - | V DOG-TEAM WAS COMING UP K LAKE. i 9s later when the man halted his • ■;s he saw that he was mistaken . t concluding the new-comer was the --.vnei of the cabin, for he was garbed n the winter dress of the Nor-west I VI *ur.ted Police. “Cheero,” said the policeman In greeting. “Where's Jean Benard?” j Stane ,shook his head. “Don’t | know Is Jean Benard the owner of .he cabin?” At this question the policeman : g'rfnc at him sharply. "Don't you know that? Who in I ‘bunder —Stane! By Christopher!’’ j \s he made the recognition the new- 1 • omef held out his mittened hand. Well, this is a pleasure. Don't you know me, old man?” Stane looked at him as he shook his hand. “I think I do,” he said. “You’re Dandy Anderton, aren’t you?” “Used to be,” laughed the other.

"Now I’m Trooper Richard Alland Anderton of the R. N. W. M. P„ and no more a dandy. But I’m mortal glad to see you, Stane, particularly as I’m a little knocked. I hurt my shoulder this morning, as—” He broke off suddenly as the sound of movement came from the cabin, and askejd quickly. “You’ve got a mare?” “Yes,” answered Stane, with a short laugh, “as good a mate as a man could have, a mate that happens to be : a lady!” “A lady!” Anderton whistled. "Up here! By Jove! you’ve both got j pluck.” / “Well, you see, Anderton, it’s not I exactly a matter of choice We were : stranded together, and this cabin hapj pened to offer itself. But loose your j dogs, and come and be Introduced!” “Right-o!” replied the policeman. ! "I’ll be with you in two jiffs.” Stane entered the cabin to prepare Helen. As he did so the girl looked up from the stove. “Is he the owner of our palace?” “No; he is an old Oxford acquaintance of mine, who is now in the Mounted Police.” At that moment a whip-stock hammered it the cabin-door, and a seci ond later Trooper Anderton entered. ! Uor a moment he was a little taken ! aback by the girl's appearance, then j Stane made the introduction. “Miss Yardely; Mr. Anderton!” “Miss Yardely!” the policeman cried. “Are you Sir James Yardely’s niece, who was lost a few months ago?” “The very same," answered Helen smilingly. “There's a reward out for your discovery—five thousand dollars, no less.” She laughed and turned again to the stove. Both men watched her admiringly for a moment, and then Anderton asked; “Been up here long, Stane?” Stane gave him an approximate date and explained the situation by recounting his accident. The other nodded sympathetically. “You were lucky to have Miss Yardely with you. I had a narrow shave myself this morning. Just as I was starting from my last camp, a tree that two minutes before looked as stable as a pyramid, collapsed. It caught me on the shoulder and knocked me flying. Ducky thing I fell clear; but it gjive me a nasty jar, and my left arm is a little out of action, with the soreness, I oughtn’t to have taken the trail this morning, and wouldn't, only i I’m in a tremendous hurry—a runj ning quarry, you know." “Who is it?” asked St,ane. “A breed, wanted for murder. He's been running for months, making this way and there's an Idea that he's sought sanctuary with his mother's trib6 at the top end of this lake.” “Ah, then there is an encampment \ up here?” "Yes. Didn’t you know?” Stane then gave an account of the ; mysterious visit of the previous night j and of the stranger they had seen In • the wood that morning and the policei man listened carefully. “The girl's a puzzler,” he said, "but ; the stranger may be my man. He : knows his life Is forfeit, and he's ripe for any sort of crime. I guess I’ll move on after him when I’ve had ja rest.” "We’ll go with you,” answered Stane thoughtfully, “we may be able to get dogs from the camp.”
"It’s just possible,” agreed Anderton, "If the Indians will sell. If not, then I’ll carry the news of you back to Ft. Malsun, and the factor there will send for you like a shot.” He was 6llent for a moment, watching Helen as she laid the table; then he said hesitatingly. "By the by. Stane, did you ever get to the bottom of that unfortunate affair of yours In England?” “No," was the reply, given with some bitterness, “but the jury did." “Oh rot!” exclaimed the other. "Xc.body who knew you really behoves that.” "I have met one man up here who apparently does!” “Who is that?” “Alnley! you remember—” “Ainley! Why, man, he —” He broke off suddenly, with a look at the girl. "Yes?” said Stane, “you need not mind Miss Yardely. She knows I have been In prison.” “Yes!” answered Helen quickly, ' and I am very sure he ought not to have been.” “It was a damnable shame!” broke out the policeman. “But the facts were against you at the time, Stane. The hand-writing experts—” “Oh the likenesses were there, right enough,” interrupted Stane, “and I certainly had been in Harcroft’s rooms, alone, and I suppose in company with his check book. Also I had lost rather a pot of money on the boat-race, and I nm bound to admit all the other incriminating circumstances.” “Yes, but you don’t know everything. Long after you—er-went down, Jarlock, who was in our set, told me something about Ainley." “What was tnat?” asked Stane quickly. “Well, it was that just at that time, Ainley was broke and borrowing money, right and left, and that he had forged Jarlock’s name to a bill. Jarlock became aware of the fact through the bill being presented to him for payment, and he tackled Ainley about the business. Ainley owned up. and Jarlock let the thing go. for old acquaintance's sake. But just about the time of your trouble he left the 'Varsity and went on a trip to the Cape, and it was a full year after before he even heard what had befallen you. It made him think of his own affair with Ainley, and when he met me months afterwards he took me into his confidence. We talked the matter over carefully# and knowing you as we both did, we reached the conclusion that you were innocent and that Ainley was the guilty man.” Stane laughed a Uifle bitterly. He gave a brief account of his meeting with Ainjey, told how he had waited for him on two successive nights, and how on the second night he had been kidnaped without any apparent reason. The policeman listened carefully an 4at the end nodded his head.

“Looks fishy!” he commented. “The fellow was afraid of you.” Then after \ a moment he asked, "Your question? ! The question you wanted to ask Ainley, I mean. What was it?" "It was about a sheet of paper with some writing on it. You shall see it.” He felt in his hip pocket, and producing a small letter-case, took out a thin packet wrapped in oiled silk. Opening it he unfolded a sheet of foolscap and handed it to the other. It was covered with writing, and as Anderton looked at it, he saw that the writing was made up of two names, written over and over again, the names being those of Hubert Stane and Eric Harcroft. At first the character of the handwriting of the two names was widely different, but presently the separate characteristics were blended with ,& distinct leaning towards those of Harcroft, though some of the characteristics of the earlier waiting of Stane's name still survived, though at the bottom of the sheet only Harcroft's name was written, and that a dozen times. The policeman whistled as he studied it. "Where did you get this, Stane?” "I found it In a copy of Plato which Ainley had borrowed from me. It was returned before the forgery turned up, and that paper slipped out when I was going through my possessions after my release from Dartmoor. What do you make of it?" “It is perfectly plain what the meaning of it is,” answered Anderton with conviction. "Whoever did this was blending two handwritings for some purpose or other, and the purpose is not difficult to guess.” (Continued in Our Next Issue)

will purchase 1,250 meals for Bible land orphans. Albert S. Miller, rural route J, Indianapolis, In handing a check for SSO remarked that it was a little thank offering in advance of Golden Rule Sunday, Dec. 2. Near East relief workers who have been overseas made a little mathematical calculation and found the SSO would, If it could be got to the Nejar East by Sunday, more than feed a regiment of orphans. The average cost of an orphan meal—over there — Is said to be about 4 cents. Jerome Lyons, of L. Strauss A Ot>.. forwarded a check for himself and Mrs. Lyon and for Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Block, representing the cost of their dinner next Sunday. “I’ll divide my dinner any time with a hungry orphan,” wrote Mr. Lyon.
