BEGIN HERE TODAY Hubert Stane rescues Helen Yardely when her canoe travels toward dangerous waters. Together they start to walk the trail to the camp where Helen is staying with her uncle, a governor of the Hudson Bay Company. ' The camp la near a northern post of the company. Stane is a discharged convict. A forest fire overtakes them and they flee from the flames. They settle In a cabin they find on the trail. Trooper Anderton of the N. W. M. P. comes to the -ahin and Stane shows him a paper found by him in a book loaned to a former friend. Gerald Ainlcy. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY mfiE njeal was finished without any further reference to the past, and after a smoke. Anderton threw on his furs and went outside. Presently he returned and announce! his intention of going up the lake to the Indian encampment. Stane looked at Helen, then he said: "We will accompany you, Anderton.” When Anderton had harnessed his dogs they started off. making directly up the lake, and within two hours sighted about half a score of winter tepees pitched near the shore and with sheltering woods on three sides of

Lord, what a Use this is!" He laughed as he spoke, and both ihose who heard him knew that he found tlie life a good one. and was without regret for the choice he had made. As they drew nearer the camp, two or three men and perhaps a dozen women, with twice that number of children came from the teptfes :o look at them, and When the dogs came to a halt one of the men stepped forward. He was an old man. and withered-looking, but with a light of cunning in his bleared eyes. “What want,” he asked. “Me, Chief George?” The policeman looked at the bent ‘ Ture clothed in manev-looking furs. aspirin Beware of Imitations! 3AVERL. uenuine "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin” have been proved safe by millions and prescribed by physicians over twentythree years.

with a dirty capote over all, and then gave a swift glance at his companions, the eyelid nearest to them fluttering down in a slow wink. A second later he was addressing the chief in his own tongue. "I come, he said, “from the Great White Chief, to take away one who is a slayer of women. It is said that he has refuge in thy lodges." The Indkn’s dirty face gave no sign of any resentment.. “There is no such man in my lodges.” "But I have heard there Is a man who is the son of thy sister, with a white father.” The old Indian looked as if considi ering the matter for a moment, then he said slowly, “My sister's son was here, but he departed four days ago.” “Whither went he?” The Indian waved his hand northward. "Towards the Great Barrens. He took with him all our dogs.” "Done!” said the policeman with a quick glance at Stane. “It Is certain there are no dogs here, or we should have heard or seen them.” He turned to the Indian again, whilst Stane looked at Helen. “You heard that, Miss Yardely? Our exile is not yet over.” “Apparently not,” agreed Helen smilingly. Stane again gave his attention to the conversation between his friend and the Indian, but half a minute later, happening to glance at the girl, he surprised a look of Intense Interest on her face. She was looking toward a tepee that stood a little apart from the rest, and wondering what it was that Interested her. Stane asked, “What Is It, Miss Yardely? You seem to have found something very interesting.” Helen laughed a little confusedly. “It was only a girl's face at a tent door. I was wondering whether the curiosity of my sex would bring her into the open or not.” Stane himself glanced at the tepee in question, the moose-hide flap of which was down. Apparently the girl inside had overcome her curiosity, and preferred the warmth of the tepee to the external cold. He grew absorlted in the conversation again, but Helen still watched the tepee; for the face she had seen was that of Miskodeed, and 6he knew that the thought she had entertained its to the identity of the woman of mystery. who had tied from the neighborhood of the cabin, was the right one. Presently a mlttened hand drew aside the tent-flap ever so small a wav: and Helen smiled to herself. Not till Stane addressed her did she take her eyes from the tepee. “Anderton'S through,” he said. “His man has gone northward; and as you heard, there are no dogs here. We shall have to go back to the cabin. Anderton tried to persuade the chief to send a couple of hA veung men with u message down to Ft. Malsun, but the fellow says It Is impossible in this weather to make the journey without dogs, which I dare say Is true enough.” “Then." said the girl with a gay laugh, "we have a further respite.” “Respite?" he said wondcrlngly. f e—from civilization. I am not absolutely yearning for it yet.” * &he laughed again as she spoke, and Stane laughed with her, though he did not notice the glance site flashed at the closed tepee. Then nderton turned abruptly from Chief 1 ! r -orge.' f in sorry. ’ he said. "I have done • ' I could for you two. hut this ’ ’ red man either won't or can't v uj. i shall have to push on, but the first chance I get I'll send word on to Factor Rodwell. If only 1 could turn back ” ' Please don’t worry' about us. Mr. \ nderton.” interrupted Helen cheerfully. "We shall be all right.” “ ’Pbn my word, I believe you Bill. Miss Yardely,” answered the policeman in admiration. He looked down he lake and then added: “No use my toing back. It will only be time wasted. I will say goodby here. Keep ' heerful, old man.” he said to Stane. “You'll work clear of that rotten business at Oxford yet. I feel it in my bones.” Helen moved a little away and the policeman lowered his voice, “Lucky beggar! You'll ask me to be best man. won’t you?”

CHAPTER XVI An Arrow Out of the Night The short Northland day was drawing to a close, when Stane and Helen reached the cabin again. For the first time since he had known It, the man felt that the place had a desolate look; and the feeling was accentuated by the somber woods that formed the background of the cabin. Things were just as they had left them on their departure, and he drew a little breath of relief. Why he should do s ohe could not have explained. A few minutes passed, and soon the stove was roaring, filling the cabin with a cheerful glow. Then whilst the girl busied herself with j preparations for supper, he went outj side to bring in more wood. On the return journey, as he kicked open the cabin door, for a second his slightly stooping form was outlined against the light and in that second he caught sounds which caused him to drop the logs and to jump forward, suddenly. He chrew the door to hurriedly and j as hurriedly dropped the bar In place. Helen looked round in surprise, j ““What is it?” she asked quickly. “There Is someone about,” he an- ! swered. “I heard the twang of a bowstring and the swish of an arrow over my head. Someone aimed—Ah, there j it is!” He pointed to the wall of the cabin, i where an arrow had struck, and still quivered. Going to the wall he dragged It out, and looked at it. It was ivory tipped, and must have been sent with great force. The girl looked at It with eyes that betrayed no alarm, though her face had grown pale. Calmly, as if hostile Indians were part of the dally program, she continued the preparations for supper, whilst Stane fixed a blanket over the parchment window, which was the one vulnerable point in the cabin. This he wedged with the top of a packing case, which the owner of the cabin had improvised for a shelf, and by the' had finished, supper was

themselves at the table, the girl laughed suddenly. *'l suppose we are In a state of siege?” “I don’t know, but I should not be surprised. It is very likely.” He considered a moment, then he said: “We must keep watch and watch through the night. Not that I think there will be any attack. These northern Indians are wonderfully patient. They will play a waiting game, and in the end make a surprise attack. They will know that now we are on the alert, and I should not be surprised if for the present they have withdrawn altogether.” "You really believe that?” “Honestly and truly!” "Then for a moment we are safe.” “Yes! I think so. and you ca'n go to rest with a quiet mind.” “RestV’ laughed the girfc “Do you think I can rest with my heart jumping with excitement? I shall keep the first watch, perhaps after that I shall be sufficiently tired —and bored --to go to sleep.” Stane smiled at her words and admiration of her courage glowed In his eyes, out she suggested fitted in well enougn with his own desires, and he let her have her own way. and himself lay down on his couch of spruce-boughs, and after a little time pretended to sleep From where he he could see the girl’s face as she sat in the glowing light of the stove. Helen was thinking of the face of Miskodeed as she had seen it over her shoulder, when they were departing from the encampment up the lake. She had read there a love for the ruan who was her own companion,

and in the dark, wildly beautiful eyes she had seen the jealousy of an undisciplined nature. A sound of movement interrupted her reverie, and she half-turned as Stane rose from his spruce-couch. “You have heard nothing?” he asked. “Nothing!” she replied. “I will take the watch now, Miss Yardely, and do you lie down and rest.” (Continued in Our Next Issue)
