This is a tale Of Alaska, q
bleak land where men and WON
en- fight each other and the re-
i~entless elements for the precious
gold that turks beneath the icy
soil Here is told a story of
wild ambition, of uncontrolled
passion, of men who Know no
law other than that of their own
making a story of a girl whose
beauty and purity plunge her in
to deepest peril; a story of Dig
men, big events, big thoughts
and big hopes. Read of Necia,
The fascinating heroine, who loves
and is loved; of Gale, the nan
of mystery; of Stark, the killer
of men, of Runnion, prince of
scoundrels; of No Creek" Lee,
who ome into his own at last;
of simple souled, big hearted
Poleon .Doret; of Lieutenant
BurreH, the gallant Kentuckion
who carries law and Justice into

perate men to recognise him as

She furrowed her brow in a scowl-

recounted her temperance talk till the

Their faces were set toward the

Gale turned his eyes downstream to
the barracks and noted that the long
Flagstaff had at last been erected.
Even as he looked he saw a bundle
mounting toward its tip and then be-
held the stars and stripes flutter out
in the air, while the men below cheer
ed noisily. 1t was some time before
he answered.

from a grizzled corporal in whom was
the hunger to talk. She had learned
of a family of Burrells whose name
was known throughout the south and
that Meade Burrell came from the
Frankfort branch, the branch that had
raised the soldiers. His father had
fought with Lee, and an uncle was
now in the service at Washington. On
the mothers side the strain was equal
ly militant, but the Meades had sought
the sea. The old soldier had told her
much more, of which she understood
httle-told her Of the young mans Sis
ter, who had come all the way from
Kentucky to see her brother off when
he sailed from San Francisco; told her
Of the l%ieutenant's many friends in
Washington and of his family name
and honor. The old soldier, further
more, had looked at her keenly and
added that the Burrells were known as
'divils among the weemen."
Resting thus on the steps of Old
Man Gales store, the two talked on
till they were disturbed by the sound

the man looked up. Coming down the
trail from the town were q squaw and
two children. AT sight of Necia the
little ones shouted gleefully and a

half grown puppies. They were boy
and girl, both brown as Siwashes, with

glance Burreil knew them for breeds"
and evidently the darker half was
closer to the surface now, for they
choked, gurgled, suffered and cough
ed in their Indian tongue, while Necia
answered them likewise. At a word
from her they turned and saw him,
then, abashed at the strange splendor
close to her. The squaw also seemed
to resent his presence, for after a low
ering glance she drew the shawl closer
about her head and. leaving the trail,

Of the store.

He nodded in the direction of the In
dian woman's disappearance.
She looked at him quickly.
"Well, what difference would that

contempt.

D bit r~estlessly, and the trader con
tinued: 1T amt mans work; it's
loafing. If he tries to boss us he'll gel
quite a surprise"
HE won't try to boss you. He has
been sent here to build a military post
and to protect the miners in their own
self government. He won't take any
part in their affairs as long as they
are conducted peaceably."
The old man grunted again, with
added contempt, while his daughter
continued:
''This rush to the upper country has
brought in all sorts of people, good.

been sent to prevent trouble and to

Lieutenant Burrell told me-" she re-
piled, at which her father regarded
her keenly. She could not see the
curious look in his eyes, nor did she
turn when, a moment later, he re-
sumed in an altered tone:

something pretty from Dawson, eh?"
He has never failed to bring me

from. Dear old Poleon!' She smiled

funny old Poleon! He loves me like a
brother"
The man opened his lips, then closed
them, as If on second thought, and
rose TO his feet, for, coming toward
them up the trail from the barracks,
he beheld a trim, blue coated figure.
He peered at the approaching officer a
moment, set his jaw more firmly and
disappeared into the store.
"Well, we have raised our flagstaff"
said the lieutenant as he took a seat
below Necia. Its like getting set
tied to keep house."
"Are you lazy?" inquired the girl.

own investigation.
"No. Not as long as they behave. In
