Guess you're right" Old Cy assert
ed tersely, and after one more look at
the inch-wide crack out of which the
smoke rose, he led the way to their
canoe.
'Thar's a cave thar, sure's a gum"
he muttered, as they skirted the bold
shore once more. IAN that smokes
comm out ont. I wish 1 dared stay
here little longer n hunt fer it,"
Old Cy was right, there was a cave
there beneath the slate ledge-in fact
two caves; and in one, safe and Sc
cure, as its owner the notorious Nc
Guire believed were concealed the
savings of his lifetime.
More than that, SO near do we often
come to an important discovery and
miss it, Old Cy had twice leaned
against slab of slate closing the en-
trance to this cave and access to
fortune, the heritage of Chip Mcclure.
Rays fear. while well founded, were
needless, however. McGuire-for it
was this outlaw whom they had am
pie reason to avoid-was many miles
away. And yet so potent was the
sense of danger that neither Old Cy
nor Ray thought of food, or ceased
padding one moment, until they had
crossed the vast swamp and once more
pulled their canoe out at the point
where they had entered it the day
before.
Here a brief halt for food and rest
was taken; then they shouldered their
light craft and started for Birch Camp.
In the meantime another canoe was
ascending this winding stream, and
long before nightfall, Pete BOlduc,
sure that he was on the trail of Nc
CURE, entered the ledge-bordered
lake.

find Shis lal<elet. But for all that, he
was watchful. Some exploring lum-
herman or some pioneer trapper might
cross this vast swamp anu find this
lake during his absence.
A brief scrutiny assured him that he
was still safe from human eyes, and
he crossed the lake.
From the bare cliff a single keen
and vengeful eye watched him.
AS usual, also, Mcclure made his
landing at a convenient point, some so
rods from his cave, and carried his
canoe up and turned it over, back of a
low-jutting ridge of slate. He skinned
the half-dozen prizes his traps had Sc
cured that day and followed shallow
defile to his lair. Here his pelts were
stretched, a slab of slate was lifted
from it's position in deep, wide Gre
vase between two of these lodges,
and Mcclure crawled into his den.
Most of these movements were OBJ
served by the half-breed, who, watch
ing ever while he plotted and planned
how best to catch his enemy unawares,
saw him emerge from amid the lodges
again, go down to the lake, return
with a pail of water, and vanish once
more.
All this was a curious proceeding,
for he, like Old Cy, had expected to
find Mcclure occupying some bark
shelter, and even now he supposed
there was one among this confusion of
bare rocks.
Another surprise soon came to this
distant watcher, for he now saw thin
column of smoke rise from a ledge and
continue in varying volumne until hid
den by twilight.
And now, secure in his cave and
quite unconscious of the watcher with
murderous intent who had observed
himself. He had built little slate
fireplace within his cave. A funnel of
the same easily fitted material car
ried the smoke up to long. inch-wide
assure in the roof. He had table Of
slate to eat from, handy by bed filled
with moss and dry grass, also pine
knots for needed light.
Opening into this small cave was
lesser one, always cool and dry, for no
rain nor melting snow could enter it,
and here was McGuire's pantry and
here also half-dozen tin cans, safely
hidden under a slab of slate, stuffed
with gold and banknotes.
TO still further protect this inner
to entirely fill its entrance.
When the last vestige of sunset had
vanished and twinkling stars were re-
fected from the placid lake, the half
breed descended from his lookout
point, and, launching his canoe, fol-

SMART SUIT FOR WALKING.
Designed with Skirt and Coat and SIX
Blouse.

Walking suits are charming and
come in a number of smart guises.
A French homespun is artistically de-
signed with skirt and coat, and shown
with a charming blouse of silk Toscos.
The front of the skirt is made with
a panel which extends in a loose fold
around the bottom, and there is an
extra trimming Of fiat bands of braid
above the fold of homespun.
The coat is trimmed with panne vel
vet, which forms the revers, coli. IS
and cuffs. 1t fastens at the front with
vest Of white leather of the softest,
finest quality. There is a wide tuck Oh
either side of the back and front, the
tucks ending above the waist line in
front under bands of the cloth, which
are cut in one with the coat The
bands are ornamented with a row of
velvet buttons. At the back of the skirt
part of the coat Is tucked from under
the panel, while the shoulder extends
over the upper part of the sleeve, the
sleeve being attached to the armhole
with tuck. The buttons Of the sleeves
are finished with cuffs of velvet, as
previously mentioned. The cuffs, IN
turn, are ornamented with crochet but
tons and simulated buttOn-holes.

Another favorite trimming for the

soft silk, showing fringed edges. The

Individuality In STYLES.

The questions of individuality of
style and suitability Of color are very
important factors Of dress.
How often does one see woman of
the athletic type, who looks very
smart in tailor-mades, ruin her appear

She arrives in a flimsy confection

trapper's presence in the swamp, he
knew, after he crossed it and reached
this lake, that somewhere on its
shores his enemy, Mcclure, had his
lair.
He paused at the outlet, as did Old
Cy, to scan every rod of its rocky
shores, not once, but dozen times.
No thought of the blessed harmony
of lake, sky, and forest, or the Sc
Questered beauty of this spot, came
TO the half-breed Revenge and muir
der--twin demons of his nature-were
in his heart, and the Indian cunning
that made him hide while he watched
for signs of his enemy. The bare peak
overlooking the lake soon impressed
him as vantage point, and after a
half-hour of watchful listening he laid
his rifle across the thwart, handy e.
grasp on the instant, and. Selling his
paddle once more, crossed the lake to
the foot of the peak.
To hide his canoe here, ascend this
with pack and rifle, was the next move
of this human panther, and here in a
sheltering crevasse he lay and watched
for his enemy
Two hours later, and just at sunset,
Mcclure returned to the lake.
AS usual, he, too, paused at the out
let to scan its shores. He believed
himself utterly secure here, and
thought no human being was likely to

CHAPTER XVI.

For two months life at Birch Camp
much resembled that of a woodchuck
or a squirrel. Now and then o day
came when the crusted snow permitted
a gathering trip into the forest,
or a few midday hours at ice fishing;
and never were the first signs of
spring more welcome than to those
winter-bound prisoners. The wise
counsel and patient example of Old Cy
had not been lost upon Ray, either;
and that winters experience had
changed him to an almost marvellous
degree. He was no longer a moody and
selfish boy, thinking only Of his own
privations, but more of a man, who
realized that he had duties and obliga-
lions toward others, as well as him
self.
With the returning sun and vanish
ing snow, animal life was once more
astir, and a short season OF trapping
was again entered upon, and mingled
with that q few days more of gum
gathering. 1t was brief and at disad-
vantage, for ice still covered the lake,
and until that disappeared no use of
the canoes could be made.
Once well under way, however,
spring returned with speed, the brooks
began to overflow, the lake to rise, and
one morning, instead of white ex-
panse CT watery ice, it was blue and
rippled lake once more.
And now plans for Rays return to
Greenvale were in order, and the sole
topic of discussion. He was as eager
as boy anxious for the close of
school, and for double reason, which
is self-evident.
1t was agreed that Old Cy and him
self should make the trip out together
in two canoes, and convey their stores
of gum and frs. At the settlement
these were to be packed, to await later
sale and shipment Old Cy would then
return to camp, and Ray would go on
to Greenvale.
A change in this plan came in an
unexpected manner, however, for a
few days before the one set for de-
parture, Old Cy, always on watch, saw
canoe enter the lake. and who should
appear but Levi, Martins old guide.
I've been cookin' up at a lumber
camp on the Moosehorn," he ex-
planned. after greetings had been ex-
changed AN I thought would make
trip up here an call on We fore

lowed close to the Swallowed shore
and landed just above where Mcclure
disembarked. Indian that he was, he
chose the hours of night and darkness
to crawl up to the bark shelter which
he expected to find, his intention being
to thrust a rife muzzle close to his
enemys head and then pull the trig-
ger.
But to do this required long wait
and extreme caution. His enemy sure
ly had a campfire behind a ledge, and
shelter as well. The smoke had seemed
to rise out of ledge, but certainly
could not, and so-still unaware of
McGuire's position, yet sure that he
was amid these lodges, and near a
shelter-Pete grasped his rifle and
crept ashore.
1t was too early to surprise his
enemy--time to fall asleep must be
allowed. Yet so eager was the half
breed to deal death to him, that he
must needs come here to wait. No
chances must be taken when he did
crawl up to his victim, for a false step
or the rattle of loose stone, or his
form outlined against the starlit sky
as he crawled over a ledge, might mean
death to him instead of Mcclure. And
so, crouching safely in a dark nook
above the landing, Pete waited,
watched and listened.
One hour passed-it seemed two
