BEGIN HERE TODAY Hubert Stane serves a term in prison for forgery. Geraid Ainley, in love with Helen Yardely. is guilty of the crime for which Stane is imprisoned. Stane rescues Helen from the river when her canoe drifts into dangerous waters. They start to walk to the camp of Helen's uncle, near a northern post of the Hudson Bay Company. They take possession of a deserted cabin. The cabin is attacked by Indians. Helen is abducted and her abductors are shot by Ainley. Stane. left for dead, is revived by Beaard. a trapper. They are joined by Ar.derton of *.he N W. M. P„ and overtake Ainley. They learn he had planned Helen s abduction. Eviden ;g they produce convicts Ainley of the crime for which Stane had gone to prison. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY I p | TAXE paused in his walk and liJ I l°°ked back toward the fire t ■ I where Ainley sat writing, with Chigmok glowering at him across the fire, whilst Anderton sat staring abstracted! / into the glowing logs. Then a stealthy movement of tha halfbreeai's Arrested bis attention. The man had thrust his hand into his rurs, and as it was withdrawn Stane caught sight of something that gleamed in the firelight, fn a flash he saw what was about to happen, and shou-ed a hurried warning. “Look >*ut. Ainley!” in tile same second, the half-breed, standing swiftly upright, launched himself across the fire at Ainley. knife In hand. The white man who had looked up at Stane’s sudden warning IN THAT SECOND ANDERTON ALSO HAD LEAPED. - was bowled ever in the snow with the half-breed on the top of him. The knife was Jifted, but never struck, for in that second Anderton also had leaped, and gripping the half-breed's wrist he twisted the knife from his grasp, and flinging it away, dragged the attacker from his victim. Helen sought the tent, whilst Stane. after a word or two with Anderton and Jean Benard, rolled himself in his sleeping furs, though with little hope of sleep. He lay awake some time and frequently opened his eyes to see Ainley still bent over his pocketbook, but presently drowsiness came

Famous Old Recipe for Cough Syrup EaaUr tai cheaply made at home, bat tt beats them all for quick reaulta.

Thousands of boasewives hare found that they can save two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough preparations by using this well-known old recipe for making cough syrup. It is simple and cheap, but it has no equal for prompt results. It takes right hold of a cough and glve6 immediate relief, usually stopping an ordinary cough In 34 hours or less. Get Z 4 ounces of Pinex from any d-uggist. pour it into a pint bottle, and ald plain granulated sugar syrup to make a full pint. If you prefer,- use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way. it tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts a family a long time. It’s truly astonishing how quickly it acts, penetrating through every air passage of the throat and lungs—loosens and raises the phlegm, soothes and heals the membranes, and gradually but surely the annoying throat, tickle and dreaded ■ough disappear entirely. Nothing better for bronchitis, spasmodic croup or hoarseness. ' Pinex is a special and highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine extract known the world over for its healing effect on membranes. Avoid disappointment by asking your druggist for “2Vs ounces of .-Pinex” with full directions and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction or money promptly refunded.

over him. The last time his eyes alighted on Ainley the latter had ceased to write, and was sitting Staring into the fire with somber eyes. Then sleep overtook him completely. He awoke in the gray dawn with Anderton's voice in his ears, and with a powdery snow driving into his ejses. “Ainley's gone. I left one of the Indians to watch —not that I thought' there was any very real need—but the beggar slept, and Ainley evidently took the opportunity to bolt.” ‘Has he taken dogs?” asked Stane quickly. ‘‘No. nor anything else that I can see. He has even left his pocketbook behind with some pages bent over and addressed to you. Here it is! Out of the wood it must be snowing like the very devil, and he can’t go far. I'm going after him with Jean Bedard, and I want you to look after Chigmok and these Indians of .Ainley's.” “All right, Anderton! But you won't catch Ainley, you know.” "Why not?” v "Because,” was the reply, given with quiet significance, "I'm afraid that Ainley has gone very far indeed." A light of comprehension came into tlie policeman's eyes, and he whstled thoughtfully. “l’ou think —” he began and stopped. "I An quite sure that Ainley has started on the longest trail of all. Why didn’t he take dogs? How long can he last in this wilderness without? And as you say outside the wood it must be snowing heavily—which way has he gone?” "To the open country—and in a blizzard. Anderton. old man. let him go. You must guess what he is about—" "Maybe I do.” answered Anderton quietly. “And you II only be wasting your strength for nothing.” "I hope to God you’re right!'' broke out the policeman vehemently. But all the same I’ve got to follow him—duty's duty—but you don't suppose I'm keen on taking an old pal to be hanged at Regina. I'm glad Ainley had the sense and grit to take the long trail on his own. But I m !>ound to try and stop him; though I thank heaven that he has an he ur s start. Now I must go. Keep your eye on Chigmok. he stands for toy honor and credit much more than Ainley. because of his original crime. So long!” He turned away and disappeared into the forest on the backwAd trail with Jean Benard. and half an hour afterward Helen emerged from her tent to find him bent over Ainlev s pocketbook with a troubled look in his eyes. "What is it?" she asked looking round. “Where is Mr. Ainley 'tml where are—" "Ainley went away In the night. ! The others have gone after hjm. They will not catch him —at least I pray not.” "You think he will get-away?" "He has taken a trail where they are not likely to follow.” "Oh!" cried Helen with a sob. "You that he —that he —?" He has left a long note In his pocketbook and a confession which clears me of that affair at Oxford. There is a note also for you—perhaps you would like to take the book and read the note to me as well.” He handed her the pocketbook and watched her as she returned to the little tent, then began to busy himself .with preparations for breakfast. Half an hour later Helen emerged again. Her eyes were red with weeping. “I have torn my note out,” she said, "there it is.” She held a crumpled hall of paper in her hand. "It is the saddet thing I ever read.” She moved her hand slightly and the crumpled hall rolled into the blaze of the fire. She watched the flickering flame leiap up, and die down, then she turned to her lover with streaming eyes. . . . They waited an hour, two hours, saying little, neither trying to hide from the other the anxiety each felt, and then through the mist of snow between the trees came Arderton and Jean Benard. Stane flashed a question at the policeman, who shook his head. "Thank God!" said Stane. whilst Jean Benard looked at Helen. "Zee deaths -n zee snow, eet ees nodings’ I know. I has seen a man die so. Eet ees as gentle as a woman's hand.” And as he finished speaking Helen turned and went to the little tent to pray for the repose of the man who had sinned, but had made the iast complete reparation. ***** Two days later, when the storm had blown itself out. all of them took the trail to Ft. Malsun, and at the end of the first day reached a small river that was unknown to Stane. “Where does this go to?" he asked over the camp fire at night, pointing, to the frozen water-way. “It makes a big bend and falls into the river above Ft. Malsun,” said Anderton. “And the other way? Where does it come from?” “Don’t know!” answered Anderton. “Never traveled It!” "But I has.” said Jean Benard. “I has been up eet fifteen miles. Two days’ trail from here ees an Engleesh Mission, hrere a married priest preach zee Gospel to zee Indians. He ees vaire good man, who laugh like an ar.gel!” A musing lock came on Stane's face, \ and he sat for 6ome time in thought, then when the opportunity came he walked with Helen on the edge of the wood, conversing earnestly. When Stane and Helen returned to the fire, the former, whilst Anderton was busy elsewhere, spent some time in conversation with Jean Benard, who. after a few moments, cried enthusiastically. “By gar' Dat ees a great plan, m'eieu! Zee dogs an’ zee stores I would giv’ dem you eef if vos not so poor a man’s! But you can buy dem —wid pleasure!” “Very well! But not a word to Ahderton till morning.” “Right, m’sieu. I understand. You an* your mees you giv’ zee p’licem&ns one beg surprise! Ees not dat sc?” “That is it,” laughed Stane.

And Anderton’s surprise was complete. Whilst it was yet dark and the stars were twinkling frostily, the three dog teams were harnessed on the rival trail. Then the policeman 1 made the discovery that Jean Benard’s team was headed up-stream. “Hallo, Jean,” he cried, “are you going to leave us?” “Not I, M’sieu Anderton,” said

It's the tip'top thing to do, to marry before you go out of the wilderness.” "That missionary,” laughed Stane, ‘ls a God-send.
