I'm not quite the tailor's mannikin that I wa= A the old days at the ’Varsity. Got a man’s job now, you see. And that reminds me, I’m here on duty. I happened to be up the Little Moose when that shooting took place this morning. There’s a couple of dead Indians up there, and as I guess you had something to do with their sudden deaths I shall have to call on you for an explanation you know.” Ainley looked at the policeman without fear. He waved a hand toward the fire. “May as well make ourselves comfortable. it’s rather a long story I have to tell. Where are your dogs?” ’’Back in the wood —anchored. I’ll slip back and fetch them.” “No,” said Stane, “I will go back for them.” He turned, and Helen turned with him. “You don’t mind,” she whispered. "Mind!” She walked by his side, a hand on his arm. y)nce whyi they were well In the shadows ox the .wood they stopped, and with his arm about her he kissed her.

Then after a moment she asked. “How did you escape? How did you find me?” “It is too long a story to tell you the whole of it just now. But right in the nick of time, when I was expecting to die. the owner of our cabin Jean Benard came back. He saved

ray life; but as he knew nothing about you, the attackers got away with you, but as soon as he heard my story he got ready to pursue, and having found out that your kidnapers were making for the Little Moose we took a short cut and waited for you. We were at your heels when the rifles from the shore —’’ , “Then you were with that second sledge?” “Yes, I and Jean Benard!” They moved forward together, found the dogs, and having righted the sledge by whicli they had been anchored, they returned to the camp. Ainley* pipe in hand,* apparently quite cooL was talking. “Hating got the news, 1 made straight for the cabin, and had the ill-luck to arrive there half an hour too late. One of the men found a dead man, who, from the description, I mistook for Stane there, and we also found a wounded Indian, who, with a little persuasion, told us what he knew, which was that a lialfbreed, of the name of Chiglnok, inflamed with love for Miss Yardley, had carried her off. designing to make her his squaw. I understand this Chigmok is what the Indians call a bad man—ybut perhaps you know him?" He broke oK and looked directly at Anderton as he spoke, and waited for a reply. The mounted policeman nodded, and as casually as he could replied; “Yes, I have met him. He is-—no good.” “Then, by all accounts, you have met a regular rogue, Anderton! But to resume, the—lridian told us that Chigmok had carried off Miss Yardely. Lender pressure he told also the place for which the half breed was making, a desolate district, little traveled —the Lake of'the Little Moose. Know it?” “Yes. I was there this morning: Stane and I have just come from there.” “Ah! you also followed Chigmok’s trail, I suppose. But I was there first. I followed a shorter rotite and I was at his camp waiting for him when he showed up. I saw Miss Yardely on the sledge, and as for the moment we were three against three, I felt that it was not an occasion when chances should he taken, so we fired from the bushes on the three kidnapers and shot them down. Then jas there was another sledge coming on behind. I removed Miss Yardely to my own sledge, and to escape further trouble we pushed the dogs hard till we got here. . And that’s about all, I think.” _ He fell silent for a moiftbnt, and sat there watching the two white men and the whte girl who had heard the conclusion of his narrative. After a little time Anderton spoke. “Seems a long tinte since we three men foregathered at Oxford.” “Yes,” agreed Ainley. apparently relieved at the change of subject. “A good bit of water has gone down the Isis since then.” “And all the circumstances considered it is rather a coincidence that we three should meet like this” in the wilderness.” “It certainly is dramatic.” admitted Ainley. “Quite a Ljrury Lane drama.” “More so than you know. Ainley,” answered Anderton quickly. “Stane. let Ainley have a look at That piece of paper you carry about with you.” A moment later Stane had opened the oilskin and was unfolding the sheet of note-papen*. Ainley watched him in amazement, arid then as Stane held the paper toward him. and he bent over it, a look of consternation came on his face, and a quick oath broke from his lips. “Where did you find that paper. Stane?” said the policeman brusquelj . “In a copy of Jowett’s Plato which Ainley had borrowed from me, and which he returned to my scout after I was arrested.” “It’s a barefaced lie! A plot!” cried Ainley. “I’m surprised at you. Anderton —a representative of the law j too —lending yourself to such an ab- ! surd charge. You ought to know 1 better.” “I know more than you think, Ain- ; ley. You remember Jarlock' who was i in our set —?” “Jarlock!” The name broke from ! Ainley in a of consternation. “Y’es, Jarlock! A good fellow, Jarlock. A friend who could forgive a friend his faults, who indeed could on occasion overlook a crime when he thought it was the crime of a nard pressed man.” “What in thunder are you gassing about?” cried Ainley blusteringly. “About Jarlock and a certain promissory note which he paid, a nota which bore your name and his. You r ! signature was quite genuine. Jar ! lock denied it, and you owned that i you—”

“He told?’’ said Ainley. “The cur j told?” “Yes, he told me in confidence, after he had heard of Stane's denial of the charge for which he was imprisoned. You see he believed in Stane, as I did myself—” "And you would make me the scapegoat for Stane’s crime?” Ainley laughed harshly. “I will see you hung first," he cried. “I—” He broke off abruptly’ as a soun i of yelping dogs sounded from th : wood, and stared into the darknes;. Anderton rose from his seat. “I expect that will be Jean Benard,” |he said quietly. . “Jean Benard? "Who is Jean Eenard?” cried Ainley. “He is the man who Stane and l Pest to bring Chigmok along.” “Chigmok.” “Yes, you see, Ainley, Chigmok was j not dead, as you meant him to be. Ho ! >vas only winged, and he was able to ! tell his story which was a much more 1 interesting story than yours, and as l ; beg leave to think, a much more truthful one.” ————— capteA XXIV The Trail to Paradise When Ainley lifted a white, tortured face, it was to find the man whom he had used as a tool, and whom, having used, he had tried to kill, seated by the fire, staring at him with his evil eyes full of hate. For a moment there was silence, then Anderton spoke. “Would you like to hear Chigmok’s story, Ainley?”

"There is no need that I should.” answered Ainley with a bitter, hopeless laugh. “I can guess it fairly well.” He unbuttoned his furs and taking out a pocketbook and pencil began to write.
