BEGIN HERE TODAY Hubert Stane, discharged convict, rescues Helen Yardely from the river when her canoe drifts toward a dangerous waterfall. He promises to return Helen to her uncle's camp near a northern post of the Hudson Bay Company. Together they flee from a foreet fire. They find a deserted cabin and take possession. Indians attach the cabin Helen is abducted and Stane is left for dead. Bernard, a trapper, revives Stane and they start in pursuit of Helen’s abductors. Gerald Ainley, in love with Helen, shoots her captors and recues the girl. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY H f " IE came to a sudden descent in the trail that he was following. It was made by a small stream that in spring flooded down to the lake, but which now was frozen solid. In the blinding snow-wrack he never even saw it, and stepping on air, he hurtled dowit the bank, and rolled in a confused heap in the deep snow at the bottom. For a full minute he lay there, out of the wind and biting snow hail, feeling like a man who has stumbled out of bitter cold to a soft couch in a warm room. His mind asserted itself again, his purpose dominated his wavering faculties, and ho staggered to his feet. “Helen!” he muttered. “Helen!’ He faced the bank of the stream

on the other side from that which had caused his "Uownfall. Then he lumped. There was something—t\"nty seconds passed before he re membered. His rifle! It was somewhere in the snow, he must find it, for he might yet have need of it. He groped about, and presently recovered it: then after considering for a moment, instead of ascending to the level, he began to walk downstream, shel tered by the high banks. The banks of the stream lowered and opened suddenly. The withering force of the blast struck him. the snow buffeted him. and for a moment lie stood held in his tracks, then the wind momentarily slackened, and dimly through the driving snow h“ caught sight of something that loomed shadowlike before him. It was the bluff that he was seeking, and as he moved toward it, the wind, broken, grew boisterous, though a steady stream of fine hard snow swept down upon him from Its height. The snow blanketed everything, and he could see nothing: then he heard a dog yelp and stumbled forward in the direction of the sound. A minute later, in the

shelter of some high rocks, he saw a camp-fire, beside which a team of dogs in harness huddled in the snow anchored there by the sled turned on Its side, and by the fire a man crouched and stared into the snowwrack. As he visioned them, Stane slipped the rifle from the hollow of his arm, and staggered forward liao a drunken man. The man by the fii’e becoming aware of him leaped suddenly to his feet. In a twinkling his rifle was at liis shoulder, and through the wild canorous note of the wind, Stane caught his hail. “Hands up! You murderer!” Something in the voice struck reminiscently on his ears, and this, as he recognized instantly, was not the hail of a man who had just committed a terrible crime. He dropped his rifle and put up his hands. The man changed his rifle swiftly for a pistol, and began to advance. Two yards away he stopped. “Stane! by—!” Then Stane recognized. It was Dandy Anderton, the mounted policeman, and in the relief of the moment he laughed suddenly. “You, Dandy?" “Yes! What in heaven's name is the meaning of it all? Did you see anything? Hear the firing? Thete are two dead men out there in the snow.” He jerked his head toward th“ lake. “And there was a dog-team, but I lost It in the storm. Do you know .anything about it, Stane? I hope that you had no hand in this kiliing?” “No, I had no hand in that killing. I don’t understand it at all, but that sledge, we must find It, for to the best of my belief. Miss Yardely Is on it.” The policeman stretched a hand toward a heap of smoldering ashes, where reposed a pan, and pouring some boiling coffee into a tin cup, handed it to Stane. ' Stane continued his narrative, and when he had finished. Andcrtcn spoke again. “That solitary man with the team whom you saw coming down the lake, must have been me. I turned into the wood a mile or two on the other side of this bluff to camp out of the snow which I saw was coming. Then it struck me that I should do better on this side, and I worked towards it. I was just on the other side when the shooting began, and I hurried forward, but the snow came and wiped out everything, though I had an impression of u second dog-team waiting by the shore as I came round. When I looked for it I couldn’t find it: and then I tumbled on this camp, and as there was nothing else to be done until the snow slackened I unharnessed.” r

Stane looked round. “This would be the place where the man, who , was to have paid the kidnapers i their price, waited for them.” “And paid them in lead, no doubt | with the idea of covering his owll tracks completely.” “That seems likely,” agreed Stane. “But who—” Anderton broke off suddenly and leaped to his feet. \ “Great Christopher! Hook there!” Stane looked swiftly in the direction i indicated, and as the veil of snow I broke for a moment, caught sight of ; a huddled form crawling in the I snow. “What —” he began. “It’s a man. I saw him distinctly," Interrupted the policeman, and as the snow swept down again , ran from the shelter of the cameA minute and a half later he stag gcred back, dragging a man with him. He dropped the man by the fire, poured some coffee into a pannikin, and as the new-comer, with a groan, half-raised himself to look round, he held the coffee towards him. “Here, drink this, it’ll do you—” he interrupted himself sharply, then | in a tone of exultation he cried: “Chigmok!" “Oui!” answered the man. "I am Chigmok! And thou?” “I am the man of the law,” answered Anderton, “who has been at your heels for weeks.” “So!” answered the half-breed in j native speech, with a hopeless gesture. “It had been better to have died the s.iow-death. but I shall die j before they hang me. for I am hurt.” They washed and dressed the wound, made the half-breed as comi £rtable as they could: then as he I reposed by the fire, Anderton found the man’s pipe, filled it, held a burning stick whilst he lit it, and when it was drawing nicely, spoke: "Now, Chigmok, you owe me something for all this, you know. Just tell us the meaning of the game you were playing.” “Then I tell you.” His dark eyes turned to Stane. "You not know me?” “No,” answered Stane. “I never saw you in my life before.” "But I has seen you. Oui! I steal your canoe'when you sleep!” “You know who was in the tent?” asked Stane sharply. "I fin’ dat out zee ver’ next morning, when I meet a man who ask i for zee white girl. Ah, I has seen dat man b’fore. I see heem shoot zee paddle from zee girl’s hand—” "Who was this man?” asked Stane grimly, as the half-breed paused. "I not know; but he is zee ver’ same man dat was to has paid zee price of guns an’ blankets for zee girl dot vos In zee cabin.” “And who said I was to die?” “Oui! He order dat! But dat man he ees one devil. He fix for me bring zee glrl_ here, where zee price veel be paid; den when I come he begin to shoot, becos he veel not zee price pay.” "What sort of a man was he? What did he look like, Chigmok?” “He dark an’ what you call han’some. He has sometimes one glass to hees eye. an—”, "Ainley, by Heaven!” cried Stane in extreme amazement. “Lor, what a whirligig life is. I never thought—Hallo! Who’s this? Jean Benard, or I’m a sinner?” Jean Benard it was. and his face lighted with pleasure as he staggered into the camp. “I fear for you. m'sieu,” he said to Stgjjte ip simple explanation, “there 1 fore I come Ro'jour, M’sieu Ander-

They turned from the storm-ridden lake to the shelter of the great woods. Except, for forced halts to unravel the harness when it caught in the bushes. They did not stop for two hours, but pressed on until they reached an open space in the woods, which they crossed in a smother of blinding snow. On the other side of this break they came to a fresh spur of forest, and when they had penetrated to the shelter of the trees once more, the first voluntary halt was made. “Os whom are you afraid??" asked Helen. “Indians!" We were forced to shoot three of your captors; and those of their friends who were following on behind may be impelled to try and avenge their deaths.” “Oh!” said the girl; a note of such evident disappointment In her tone that Ainley looked at her quickly. "I have an idea,” he aaid, “and I will explain when we camp. Just now I must have a word with my men. Coffee will be ready in a few minutes; and there will be bacon and biscuit, which If not exactly appetizing, will be sustaining.” "I shall not mind bacon ajid biscuit,” answered Helen, and as Ainley walked away a look of deep thought came on the girl’s faoe.
