BEGrX HERE TODAY Hubert Stine U a discharged convict He rescue® Helen Yardely when her canoe drifts into dangerous waters. Helen is staving near a northern post of the Hudson Bay Company with her iinele, a governor of the company. Stane and Helen start to walk the trail to the governor s camp. When a forest fire overtakes them they flee on a raft from the flames. They find a deserted cabin and take possession. Trooper Anderton of the N. W. M. P. comes to the cabin on his way to visit an Indian camp. An arrow shot in an attack on the cabin misses Stane. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY <fj~l | WILL, lie down,” she said ! I I a UtU® laugh, ‘‘but I am ‘ * afraid sleep will be another matter. My mind is in a ferment.” Stane lit his pipe, and seated himself near the stove. He had. as he had previously told the girl, little fear of any attack developing that night, and this anticipation proved to be the correct one. The still, dead hours passed in quietness, and when the gray dawn broke, he cautiously opened the cabin door and looked out. Nothing stirred anywhere, either in the forest or lakewards. He turned and looked at bis companion who hal just emerged from her sleeping place. "I think we have our little world to ourselves again.” When breakfast was finished and the necessary morning tasks finished, Stane, who had been in and out of the hut frequently and had kept a careful watch on the wood and lake, looked at Helen. “Do you feel .equal to facing the possible danger. Miss Yardely?*’ “I am not afraid,” answered Helen quickly, “and if I were I wouldn’t own It—or show It, I hope.” “I don’t believe you would.” replied Stane with a smile. “We will go out,

first on the lake where we can Survey the shore; and then along- the path in the woods where we saw that man yesterday.” They walked forward for perhaps half a mile and halted at a point whence they got a wide view of the shore. Stane looked up and down the lake. In due time they reached the cabin without mishap. They had found no sign of the enemy of the previous night. If he still lurked in the wood he kept himself hidden and Stane hoped that he had withdrawn for good. But he determined to take no chances, and busied himself in the next few hours with cutting a good store of wood which he stacked in the cabin. He also chopped a considerable amount of ice which he stored as far away from the stove as possible. Some cached moose meat, which was frozen solid as a board, he hung on the rafters of the cabin, IP Say “Bayer”-Genuine!

which themselves were white with I frost. The short day had almost ended when he had completed these tasks, and he was about to enter the cabin, when through the dusk he caught sight of a figure, standing among the trees openly watching him. The garb proclaimed the figure to be that of a woman, and for a moment he was utterly startled. Then, acting on Impulse, he started to walk towards the watcher, his unmlttened hand on the butt of the pistol at his hip. CHAPTER XVII The Attack The watching wa(man made noj attempt to escape, but somewhat to Stane’s surprise, awaited his coming. As he drew nearer he was again startled to find that it was the girl whom he had talked with at Ft. Malsun. “Miskodeed,” he cried in surprise. “You! What are you doing here?” ”1 come to warn thee,” said the girl in he 1 - own dialect. “Once before I did that, and I w'as too late. But now I am in time.” “To warn me?’’ he echoed, still too surprised to say more. “Yes,” answered Miskodeed. ‘There are those who wall seek to kill thee tonight.” “Who it is?” asked Stane in sudden curiosity. “It is the sen of Chief George’s sister—the man for whom the officer came to the encampment yesterday.” “Then he is at the camp, after all?” “He was there when the officer came. The story which Chief George told about his departure to the Great Barrens was a He.” “But why should he seek to kill me?” x "I do not know fully. But he promises big things if thou are slain; rifles and the water that burn and makes men sing, and tea and molasses, and blankets for the women.” “But,” protested Stane. “I have but one rifle and little spirit and tea. I am not worth plundering, and Chief George must know that the law will take account of his doings, and that the grip of the law reaches right up to the Frozen Sea.” “He knows.” answered the girl quietly, “but Chigmok—that is his sister’s son—has filled him with a lying tale that the law will take no account of thee, and he believes, as Chigmok himself believes.” "But—” began Stane, and broke off as the girl lifted her hand. “Chief George has seen the rifles, and the burning water, the box of tea and the bale of blankets, and his soul is hungry for them. He would kill more than thee to win them.” "And the—the man who is with me?” “I know that man Is the brightfaced woman who came to Ft. Maslun. Tell me, is she thy squaw?” “No?” he answered sharply. “No!” “Then what does she in thy lodge?” “That Is due to an accident. She drifted down to Urn great river, and I saved her from the water, and started to take her back to Ft. Malsun. Our canoe was stolen in the night,, and when we took the landtrail my leg was broken and we were delayed, and by the time I was fit for travel, winter was upon us. sc. we sought the cabin to wait for help. That is the explanation, and now tell me, Miskodeed, is the woman to die?”

CHAPTER XVIII A Dead Girl “Ah! Dat better! By gar, but I think it was New Jerusalem for you ; dis time!” The words penetrated Stane's conI sciousness as he opened his eyes, and were followed by others which he obeyed instinctively. "Tak’ anoder drink. Zee whisky veel vake you proper.” He gulped from the tin pannikin which was held to his lips, and coughed as the ray, potent spirit j burned his throat. Then he sp.t up ; and looked at thp man who was bej friending him. “Who . . . who are you?” he asked weakly. “I am Jean Benard. I come up zee j lak’ an’ hear shots an’ I see my cabin like hell. I tink somethin’ ver’ f badly wrong an' I turn to zee woods. Den I see you rush out an’ I hear i you shoot as you run. I see dat big man struggle with you, I see him | keeled by anoder who go down, aussi, | and when zee man with zee ax mak' | for you I begin to shoot. I am In ; zee wood, an’ zee divils they do not 1 see me, an’ I pick off un, deux, trois! Dey are dere still, after dey others grow afraid an' run like caribou with zee wolves at dere heels. It ees fine sport, an’ I shoot as dey run, an’ presently I am left alone. I shovel snow wit’ a snowshoe on my burning cabin, for I love dat petite cabin like a child, an’ den I tink I take a look at you. You not dead, so I pour hot whisky in your mouth an’ you return from zee happy-huntin’ grounds. Dere you have zee whole narrative.” “But Helen?” cried Stane, looking round. “Where —” Jean looked at Stane, as If he doubted his sanity and Stane reassured him. "Oh I have not gone mad, Benard. There was a white girl with me in your cabin, Miss Yardely. You must have heard—” “Mees Yardely! She ees here?” cried the trapper in sudden excitement. "She was here!” corrected Stane. “I think she has been carried off. We must follow!” “Oni, I understand, m’sieu. Dis girl she ees mooch to you?” - “She is all the world to me.” “Den we go, m’sieu. But first we feed an’ rest zee dogs. We travel queeck, after, vous comprenez? I will a meal make, an’ your head it will recover, den we trayel lik’ zee wind.” \ The trapper made his way into the smoldering hut, and began to busy himself with preparations, whilst Stane looked round again. The darkness. and the figures lying in the snow gave the scene an indescribable air of desolation, and for a moment he stood without moving; then, as something occurred to him, he began to walk toward the place where be had been struck down. Three figured lay there huddled in the snow,

the man who would have slain him. The third one was his savior. He looked again, and as he noted the dress a cold fear gripped his heart, for it was the dress of a woman. He fell on his knees and turned the body over, then he bent over the face. As he did so, he started back, and a sharp cry came from his lips. The cry brought Jean Benard from the hut at a run. ‘What ees it, m’sieu?" he asked as he reached Stane who knelt there ;ts if turned to stone. ‘ “It is a dead girl,” answered Stane, brokenly—“a girl who gave her life for mine.” The trapper bent over the prostrate form, then he also cried out. “Miskodeed!” “Yes! Miskodeed. I did not know it was she! She killed one of them with her knife, and she was slain by the other.” “Whom 1 keel with the bullet!” For a moment Jean Benard said no more, but when he spoke again there was a choking sound in his voice. “I am glad I keel dat man! eef I has not done so, I folio wheem across zee world till it was done.” Something like a sob checked his utterance. “Ah, m’sieu, I love dat girl. I say to myself all zee way from Good Hope dat I weel her marry, an’ I has the price I pay her fader on zee sledge.’ He dropped suddenly in the snow, and bent over the face In its frozen beauty, sobbing as only a strong man can. He bent lower and kissed the ice-cold lips, whilst Stane staggered to his feet, and moved away. He began to walk to and fro, in-
