BEGIN HERE TODAY Hubert Stane. discharged convict, rescue? Helen Yardeiy when her canoe drifts into dangerous waters. They start to walk the trail to the camp where Helen is staying with her uncle, a governor of the Hudson Bay Company. They flee on a raft from a torest fire and take possession of a deserted cabin. Indians attack the c-ibin. Helen is abducted and Stane. seemingly dead, is found by the trapper Benard. Miskodeed, an Indian girl in lows with, Stane. is kill 3d while trying to meld him. Be.iard lores Xiskodeed and is heartbroken. Stane and Benard start m pursuit of Helen's abductors. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Hi AT ees not to be told. Zee l ) men in zee wilderness are many." As he finished speaking a grist of wind drove suddenly in their faces, bringing with it a few particles of snow, and he looked up into the leaden sky. “Presently,” he said, “it weel snow, m’sieu. Let us go and eat, then eef Chigmok has not appeared we weel go meet dat man out dere. He may has zee news.” Reluctantly Stane turned with him. and went back to the camp. He had no desire for food, but he forced himself to eat, and when the meal was finished he assisted his companion to load the sledge. Then Benard spoke again. “We weel tak’ one look more, m’sieu, before we harness zee dogs.” They went up to the outlook together. The lake once more showed its white expanse unbroken; the little blot of moving dots having withdrawn.

SHE WAS TRIPPED UP AND FELL IN THE SNOW. Stane stared on the waste, with an expression of blank dismay upon his face, then he turned to his companion. “Zee man, he camp,” explained Benard. “He not pushed for time, an' he know it snow b’fore long. We find heem. m'sieu' an' den—by gar! Look dere!” As he gave vent to the exclamation. he pointed excitedly up the lake, two miles beyond the island, the neigh borhoed of which tfrtane had gazed at so often and hopelessly during the last three hours. A dog-train had broken from the wood, and taken to the surface of the lake, three men accompanying it. “Chigmok! Behold, m'sieu!” On a mutual impulse they turned and running back to the camp, began hurriedly to harness the dogs to the sledge. A few minutes later they were on the move, and turning the corner of the cliff began the descent toward the lak. As thev did so both ACID STOMACH!!

j glanced at the direction of the sled | they were pursuing. It was moving ; straight ahead, fairly close in shore, : having evidently sought the level surface of the lake for easier traveling. Benard looked anxiously up Into the | sky. y. “By-an’-hy it snow like anythin’, m'sieu. We must race to catch Chigmok bfore it come.” Without another word he stepped ahead, and began to make the trail for the dogs, whilst Stane took the gee-pole to guide the sledgh* Benard bent to his task and made a rattling pace, traveling in a bee-line for thenquarry, since the lake’s surface offered absolutely no obstructions, j Stane at the gee-pole wondered how long he could keep it up, and from time to time glanced at the sled ahead, which, seen from the same level, now was half-hidden in a mist of snow. Presently the trapper stopped to rest, and Stane himself moved ahead. “I will take a turn at trail-break-ing,” he said, "and do you run behind. Jean.” It was a different matter going ahead of the dogs on the unbroken snow. In a little time his muscles tegan to ache intolerably. It seemed as if the ligaments of the groin were being pulled by pincers, and the very bone of the leg that he had broken, seemed to bum with pain. Half an hour passed, and though the wind was rising steadily, blowing straight in their teeth and adding greatly to their labors, the snow kept off. They were still gaining slowly, creeping forward yard by ; yard, the men with the train ahead | apparently unaware of their pursuit. Then they struck the trail made by j their quarry and the work became less arduous and the pace quickened. A mile and three-quarters now separated the two teams, and as they followed In the trail that the others had to make, their confidence seemed justified. But nature and man alike were to take a hand and npset their calculations. In the wind once more there came a smother of snow. It

was severe whilst it lasted, and blot ted out all vision of the team ahead. As it cleared, the two pursuers saw that their quarry had turned inshore, ' moving obliquely towards a tree- | crowned bluff that jutted out into the lake. Jean Benard marked the move, land spoke almost gleefully. “Dey fear zee snow, an’ go to make | vamp. By zee mass, we get dem like i a wolf in zee trap!” The sledge they pursued drew nearer the bluff, then suddenly Jean Benand threw back his head in a listening ; attitude. "Hark!" he cried; “what was dat?” "I heard nothing.” answered Stane. I “What did you fancy you—” The sentence was never finished, for borne to him on the wind came two or three sharp sounds like the i cracks of distant rifles. He looked |at his companion. “The detonation of bursting trees j far in the wood,” he began, only to 'be interrupted. "Non. non! not see trees, but rifles: look dere. m'sieu. someting- ees hap--1 pening.” It certainly seemed so. The sled i which had almost reached the bluff, ; had swung from It again, and had turned towards the open lake. But now. instead of three figures, they j could see only one: and even whilst , they watched, again came the dis- ; tant crack of a rifle —a faint far-away i round, something felt by sensitive | nerves rather than anything heard— I and the solitary man left with the j sledge and making for the sanctuary ‘of the open lake, plunged suddenly forward, disappearing from sight in , the snow. Another fusillade, and the I sled halted, just as the two men I broke from the cover of the bluff and began to run across the snow in the j direction of it. "Bv gar! By gar!" cried .Jean Bei card in great excitement. “Tings dey i happen. Dere are Oder men who want ' chigmok, an’ dey get heem. too." Then with a clamoring wind came I Mio snow, blotting out all further ! vision of the tragedy ahead. It hurtled i about them in fury, and they could see scarcely a yard in front of them. ! Dogs and men bowed to the storm, and after two minutes of lost endeavor in attempting to face it, the course was altered and they raced f<> th shore and the friendly shelter *he trees. When they reached it. 'Mess and gasping, they stood a -moment, whilst the storm shrieked among the tree-tops and drove its icy hail like small shot against the trunks. In the shejter of, one of them. Stane, as his breath came back to him. swung his rifle off his shoulder, and began to strip from it the deer-hide covering. Jean Benard saw r him, and in order to make himself heard shouted to him. “What you do, m’sieu?” “I shall work my way in the cover of the trees tili I reach the bluff. If the storm abates you will follow, but do not pass the bluff. There will be shelter In the lee of it, and I will wait your coming there.” CHAPTER 3CX A Prisoner When Hubert Stane left the burning cabin Helen did not obey his | injunctions to the letter. A full minute she was to wait in the shadow of the door before emerging, but she disregarded the command altogether in her anxiety to know what fate was to befall him. As the yell greeted his emergence, she caught the sound of the rifle shot, and not knowing that it had been fired by Stane himself, in an agony of fear for him, stepped recklessly to the door. She saw him running toward the trees, saw him grappled by the Indian, who barred the way, and beheld the second figure rise like a shadow by the side of the struggling men. The raised knife gleamed In the firelight, and with a sharp cry of warning_ that never leached Stane. “he started to run toward hirn. The next moment something thick and heavy enveloped her head and shoulders, she was tripped up and fell heavily in the snow, and iwo seconds later was conscious of two

pairs of hands binding her with thongs. Then there came a sound that made her heart leap with hope—a sound that was the unmistakable crack of a rifle. Again the rifle spoke, three times in rapid succession, and from the sounds she conjectured that the fight was not yet over, and felt a surge of gladness In her heart. Then she was lifted from the ground, suddenly hurried forward, and quite roughly dropped on what she guessed was a sledge. Again hands were busy about her, and she knew that she was being lashed to the chariot of the North. There was a clamor of excited voices, again the crack of the rifle, then she felt a quick jerk, and found the sled was In motion. She was quite ■warm, and except for the thongs about ner, comfortable, and presently her eyes closed, at first against the rather oppressive dark ness resulting from the covering blanket, then remained closed without any conscious volition, and she slept heavily and dreamlessly. She was awakened by the sled coming to a standstill; and then followed the sounds of men pitching camp; the crackle of a fire, the growling and yelping of dogs quarreling over their food. She did not know how 'long she had slept; but after awakening, it seemed a very long time before any one came near her. Then she caught :he sound of steps crunching the fro zen snow. The steps halted by the sledge anil hands busied themselves with the fastening. A minute later she felt that her limbs were free: and as the blanket was jerked from her head, she looked round.
