They mid a deserted cabin and take poMMatefe Stane means to return Helen to the camp of her uncle, who Is % goi -mor of the Hudson Bay Company. Trooper Anderton of the Northwestern mounted police visits the cabin. After he leaves, an attack is made by Indians on the cabin ;ind Miskodeed. an India;' girl, is killed while trying to shield Stan*. Helen is abducted. Stane, seemingly dead, is revived by Benard, a trapper. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY H r—-lUI! m’sieu! We must her M bury; ma petite Miskodeed." “I will help you, Jean. And then you will help me." “Non.” m'sieu. Help I do not need. I weel myself do zee las’ duty for ma pauvre Miskodeed. You. m'sieu, shall say zee prayer, for I has not zee religion, but— *’ “Cal! me when you are ready!” Interrupted Stane, and turned away, finding the situation intolerably poignant. He went to the hut, and busied himself with the meal which the J HE WALKED WITH TILL} TRAPPER’S PISTOL IN THE SMALL OF HIS BACK. trapper had been preparing, and presently Jean Benard called him. The man had swathed' the dead girl In a blanket and had bent the tops of a couple of small spruce, growing - vlose together, almost to the ground, holding them in position with a sled thong. To the trees he had lashed the corpse, and he was standing by with a knife in his hand. “Zee ground.” he said in a steady voice, “ees too frozen to dig. We bury Miskodeed in zee air; an’ when zee spring winds blow an’ the ground grow soft again, I dig a grave. Now eef m’sieu ees ready we will has zee words of religion.’’ Stane, almost choked at the poignant irony of -the thing, then shaped

A THREE DAYS’ COUGH iS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL Chronic coughs and persistent colda lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion Is anew medical dlscov- j ery 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 j 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 blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and destroys the germs that lead to serious 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 00., Atlanta, Ga.—Advertisement.

bis lips to the great words that would have been strange if not unmeaning to the dea<3L girl. “I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in Me thougn he were dead yet shall he live. . .’’ For the comfort of the man, who stood by knife in hand, he recited every word that hescould remember, and when he reached the words, “We therefore commit her body to the grave,’’ the keen knife severed the moose-hide thong, and the trees, released, bent back, carrying the girl’s body to its windy sepulchre, amid a shower cf snow that scattered from the neighboring trees. Stane pronounced the benediction, waited a few moments, then again he put a hand on the other’s shoulder. "Bernard, we have done what we can for the dead; now we must think of the living.” “Oui, m’sieu!” “You must eat! I have prepared a meal. And when you have eaten and the dogs are ready we must start on the trail of Miss Yardely.” “We weel go to zee encampment. We weel mak’ Chief George tell zee truth.” An hour afterwards they started, following the trail up the lake left by the fugitives, a broadly marked trail, which revealed that a sledge had been used, for there were the marks of the runners both coming and going. As they started, the trapper pointed this out. In silence theyAraveled up the Jake, and after a time reached the place where the moose-hide tepees lifted their shadowy forms against the background of snow and trees. The camp was dark and silent as a place of the dead. "Do you stay here with zee dogs, m’sieu, whilst I go drag out Chief George. Have zee rifle ready; an’ eef dere is trouble, be prompt at zee shootin’. Vous comprenez?” Stane stood with the rifle ready, watching Benard’s progress across the snow. He saw him reach the chief's tepee, and throw' open the moose-hide flap, then disappear inside. He waited for what seemed an intolerable time, and once heard a rustle from the nearest tepee, and divined that in spite of the stillness of the camp, quick eyes were watch ing the doings of his companion and himsejf. Then he caught a coughing grunt, and out of th tepee which the trapper had entered, emerged two forms, the first bent and shambling, the other that of Jean Benard. They picked their way. walking close together, between the moosehlde tents, and as they drew near the sledges. Stane saw that the shambling fbrm was that of Chief George, and that he w-alked with the muzzle of the trappers pistol in the small of his back. They marched up the lake 500 yards or more, the camp behind them maintaining the silence of the dead, then Benard halted.

“Now." he said, "we weel talk!" Pointing his piste! at the Indian and speaking in the patois of the tribe, he addressed him: * “What means the attack upon my cabin?” “I know nothing." mumbled the Indian, shaking with fear and cold. "It was Chigmok—my sister’s son —who led the young men away." “So! But thou hast seen the rifles and the burning water, the blankets, the tea and the molasses which are the price to be paid. I know that thou hast seen them." At the words the Chief started a little, then he made a mumbling admission: *Yes, I have seen them. They are a great price." "But, who pays?" "I know not. A white man, that is all I know. The rest 13- known to Chigmok alone.” "Whither has the white maiden been carried?” Chief George waved his hand to the East. “Through the woods to the lake of Little Moose, there to meet the man who pays the price." Benard looked at Stane. “Dere ees nothing more dat he can tel]. I am sure of dat. an’ we waste time.” “Yes! Let him go.” The trapper nodded and then addressed the Indian once more. “Thou wilt go back to thy lodge now, but this Is not the end. For the evil that hath been done the price will j have to be paid.” Chief George waited for- no sedond bidding, but began to shamble off across the snow toward his encampment. The two men watched him go, in silence for a little time, and then Stane spoke: “This lake of the Little Moose, where Is It?" “About sixteen miles to zee East. It ees known to me. A leetle lak’ desolate as hell, in zee midst of hills. We weel go there’ an’ find dls white man an’ Mees Yardely.” i Under the light of the stars, and helped by the occasional flashing light of the aurora, they traveled up the lake for some distance, then leaving its surface they turned abruptly eastward, following an unbroken trail through a country which begjan rapidly to alter in character. The great j woods thinned out and the way they I followed took an upward swing, whilst j a steady wind with the knife-edge • cold i of the North began to blow In theli | faces. The trail was not an easy one, and the dogs whined as they bent to the collars, but Jean Benard, with a frame of iron and with muscles like steel--1 springs marched steadily on, for what to Stane seemed hours, then In the shelter of a cliff crowned with trees he called a halt. “We nest there,” he said, “an* wall sot zee daylight. Den we look down on zee lak’ of zee Leetle Moose. We | mak’ fire behind zee rock.” CHAPTER XIX A Hot Trail The cold Northland dawn had broken. Stane ate his breakfast quickly, and wher Had finished, accompanied Dkhiard a little way up the trail, which running along the base c£ the cliff by which they had camped, made a sudden turn between the rocks and unexpectedly opened out on a wide view. “Dev has not yet arrive," said Benard, answering St&ne’s unspoken "Dey camp in zee woods fc| zee night.” jhinutes*passed slowly, and to

too tired to follow heem. It ees better dat we watch in turn.” Stane admitted the wisdom of this, (ynd since he felt it was Impossible for himself to sit still, and suspected that his companion was sadly in need of rest, he elected to keep the first watch. He mad up the fire, prepared bacon and moose meat for cooking, set some coffee to boil. It would be as well to have a meai in case the necessity for a start should arise. These things done he went once more to the outlook, and surveyed the snow-covered landscape. The wind was still for the moment, and there were no wandering disps of snow. His first glance was towards the creek opposite the island. There was nothing there to arrest attention. His eyes traveled further without any light of expectation in them. Creek by creek, bay by bay, he followed the sho£e line, then, in a second, his gaze grew fixed. The lake was no longer devoid of life. Far-off, at least ten miles, as he swiftly calculated, a blur of black dots showed on the surface of the snow. Instantly he knew it for what it was—a team of sled dogs. His heart leaped at the sight, and the next moment he was running towards the camp. “Jean! Jean!’ 'he cried. “Jean Benard!” Thee sleeping man passed from slumber to full wakefulness with the completeness that characterizes a healthy child. “Ah, m’sieu,” he said, standing upright. “Dey has arrive?" "I do not know. But there is a dog-train a long way up the lake.” With bent brows the trapper stared
