BEGIN HERE TODAY Hubert Stane serves a term in prison for forgery. He goes Jto the rescue of Helen Yarddy when her canoe drifts into dangerous waters. Together they start to walk the trail to the camp of Helen s uncle, a governor of the Hudson Bay Company. They flee on a raft from a forest fire and settle in a deserted cabin. Indians attack the cabin Helen Is abducted and 3tane is seemingly dead. Benard a trapper, finds Stane and revives him. Together they go to trail Helen's abductors. Gerald Ainley, in love with Helen evoked the opporunity to appear a hero in her sight.

"Vait min'te,” he said, “zee seeknese et veel pass.” It passed quicker than the man knew, and as the man had moved, bringing his face to the light, Helen used the opportunity to survey the man behind the mittened hand which she had lifted to her head. He was. she saw, a half-breed of evil, pockmarked countenance, with cruel eyes. Who he was she had not the slightest notion, but curiosity was strong within her, and as'she lowered her hand, she waited for him to speak again. “Ve vait here, leetle taimeune hour, Eeux, maybe tree.

both Indians, smoked stolidly, without bestowing upon her a single glance, whilst she ate. When she had finished she pushed the tin plate from her and looked at the half-breeT who had seated himself a yard or so away from her. “Who are you?" she asked. “Ah not tell you dat!” said the man with a grin. "Then tell me what are you going to do with me?” "You fin’ dat out for yourself in a vaire leetle taime," was the answer. Helen looked at the evil, cunning face, and knew that It was no use pursuing inquiries in that direction. She waited a full minute, then she began to ask another question, to her of even vaster moment: “That man who was with me in the cabin, he—” “Sacree!” cried the half-breed in a sudden burst of fury. “Dat man he ees dead, Par Dieu! an’ eef he was rot, I roast heem alive!” “Dead!” As the exclamation broke from her, the girl looked at the halfbreed with eyes in which gleamed a sudden fear. Then hope came to her as she remembered the shots that she had heard. “But,” she protested, “he was firing on you as you left. It cannot be that he—” “Non!” broke In the -half-breed. “Dat man was with you he fire onlee once, den he die. Dose shots dey come from zee wood, an’ I not know who fire dem. Eet was strange, I not know eef there be one man or more, so I run aways wit' yop.” Great sobs shook her shoulders, and scalding tears welled in her eyes. Her lover had indeed gone to his death after all, had given his life for hers as at the very beginning of their acquaintance he had risked it to the same end by saving her! The callous half-breed was disturbed by the utter abandon of her grief. "No need to weep Ilk’ zee rain in spring, mees! What ees one man when men are as zee leaves of zee forest? Dis man dead! True —but eet ees a pmall ting—zee death of a man. An’ I tak’ you to anodder man—” “You will what?” Helen looked up sharply as she asked the question. There was a light of wrath struggling wi‘b, the grief in her eyes and the half-w*d was startled by it. "I tak' you to anodder man who weel lov’ you as white squaws desire. He—” “Who is this man?” she asked, suddenly interrupting him. But the half-breed developed a sudden wariness. “Non!” he said. "I not tell you dat, for why, zee surprise it veel be more pleasant!” “This man whom you promise me? He pays you to bring me to him?” “Oui! He pays a great price!" Time passed, and she still marched to and fro. The half-breed was nodding over the fire, and his two companions were sound asleep. Under her fur parko she felt the butt of the pistol which Stane had given her, when the attack on the cabin had commenced. She looked at the three men, and with her hand on the pistol butt the thought came to her mind that it would be a simple thing to kill them In their sleep, and take the dogs and so effect her escape. They were murdered, they deserved to die, and she felt that she could kill them without compunction. But her eyes swept the dark circle of trees, and for a moment she stared into the darkness with fixed gaze, then her hand ! slipped from the pistol, and she put from her the thought that had come to her. When the haif-breed rose, and or- •'< red her to resume her place on the '-ledge, she did so without demur, making herself as comfortable as possible. She was bound to the sledge again, though, when they resumed the journey, she was less like a mere bale than she had been, and was free to lift the blanket which now was thrown over her head for protection from the extreme cold more than for any other reason. But only once before the dawn did she avail herself of this privilege to look about her. and that was when the second halt was made. She lifted the blanket to learn the cause of the delay: and made the discovery’ that the dog-harness having become entangled in the branch of a fallen tree, had broken and the halt was necessary for repairs. She dropped her head-eoverir.g again and lay there in the darkness, wild thoughts mingling with her grief. The sullen dawn of the northern winter had broken when she lifted j tlje blanket again. They were still in the forest, having lost the trail i in the darkness, and presently a fresh halt was necessary, and whilst two of the men prepared a meal, her chief captor went off through the woods as she guessed to discover their whereabouts. He returned in the course of half an hour and said something to his companion which Helen did not understand: and after a rather leisurely meal they' harnessed up once more. After a time the forest began to open out. They struck a frozen river and descending the bank and taking to its smooth surface, their speed accelerated. The banks of the river widened, and in a little time they swept clear of them on to the open plain of what she easily guessed was a frozen lake. They turned sharply to the right, and a few minutes afterward a whirl of snow caused her to cover her face. Some considerable time passed before she looked forth again. They were traveling at a great rate. The snow was flying from the shoes of the man who : broke the trail. The half-breed who S was acting as driver was urging the I dogs with both whip and voice and | occasionally he cast an anxious look ever his shoulder. Wondering why ihe should do so Helen also looked back. Then her heart gave a great leap. Behind them was another dogteam with two men. Was it possible that after all the half-breed was mis taken, or that he had told her a lying tale? She did not know, she could not tell, she could only hope, and her hope was fed by her captor’s evident anxiety. He whipped the dogs cruelly, and his glances back became more frequent. Helen also looked back and saw that the sled behind was gaining on them. Was it Indeed her lover in pursuA .or were these men who htti witnessed the attack on the cabin, oi.*l

had fired the shots which had com polled the attackers to take flight. Anything now seemed possible and as the half-breed’s anxiety grew move pronounced, her own excited hopes mounted higher.

ward, and gave a grunt of satisfaction. The girl ajso looked forward. They were ap_ loathing a tree-crowned bluff, which was apparently their goal. Then suddenly, bewildering in its unexpectedness. came the flash and crack of a rifle from the bushes In shore. "Cacree!” cried the half-breed, and the next moment three rifles spoke, and he pitched over in the snow, whilst the man at the gee-pole also fell. The man breaking the trail in front, swerved from the bluff, and the dogs swerved after him, almost upsetting the sledge. Again a rifle, and the remaining man went down. The dogs, in excitement or fear, still moved forward, and Helen strove to free herself, but a moment later the sledge halted abruptly as two of the dogs fell, shot In their traces. She had a momentary vision of two rnen running toward her from the shore, then the snow came down lti a thick veil. Dimly she caught the outline of one of the men by her sled, and the next moment a voice she remembered broke on her ears through the .clamor of the wind. “Thank God, Helen! I am in time.” And she looked up incredulously to find Gerald Ainley looking down at her.
