ferries and romances of the Alas

Boyd Emerson and his superhu-
man efforts to win a fortune for
the Woman he loved; Cherry

geffc young woman who combat
ed desperate men on the battle

Mildred Wayland, the inperious
beauty and society faporite,
whose hond was sought by bitter
rtpats who did not stop at mur.-

like the roar of giant waves on a

whose quaint hunaor alone pre-
vented him from going to Jail,
where he really belonged, and
Willis Marsh, unprinctpled in
friguer and betrayer of men

IVt She's Miss Malotte, and she's
~ certainly some considerable
lady" answered the crook.
Yes. but who is she? What does
this mean?" Emerson pointed to the
provisions and fittings about Them
What is she doing here aloneY'
Maybe you'd better ask her your
self" said Fraser.
For the first time in their brief ac-
quaintance Emerson detected strange
note in the rogue's voice.
The Indian girl summoned them, ana
they followed her through the long
passageway into the other mousse
where, to their utter establishment,
they seemed to step out of the frontier
and into the heart of civilization. They
found a tiny dining room perfectly ap-
pointed, in the center of which, Won
der of wonders, was round table
cleaning like deep mahogany pool,
gauzy hand worked napery, glinting
silver and sparkling crystal, the uark
polish of the wood rejecting the light
from shaded candles. 1t held deli
cately figured service of blue and gold,
while the selection of thin stemmed
glasses all in rows indicated the char
acter of the entertainment that await
ed them. The mems eyes were too
busy with the unaccustomed sight to
note details carefully, but they felt soft
carpet beneath their feet and observed
that the walls were smooth and har-
moniously papered
''This is m-marvelous," murmured
Emerson. I'm afraid we're not in
keeping"
Indeed you are" said the girl, land
am delighted to have somebody to
talk to. Its very lonesome here"

I"tHE trail to Kalvik leads down
from the northward mountains
over the tundra which TANKS
- the tide fats. then creeps out
upon the salt ice of the river and
across to the village.
A Greek church, a Russian school
with cassocked priest presiding and
about hundred houses beside the can
merry buildings make up the village.
Early one December afternoon there
entered upon this trail from the tim
berless hills far away to the northward
a weary team of six dogs. driven by
two men.
The travellers had been plodding sui
lenly hour after hour, dispirited by the
weight of the storm.
"Fingerless" ERASER broke trail. and
Boyd Emerson drove.
Another day like this and we'd both
be snow blind" observed Emerson
grimly as he bent to his task. But
it can't be far to the river now"
An hour later they dropped from
the plain down through a gutterlike
gully to the river. where they found
TRAIL glass hard beneath its downy
covering. A cold breath sucked up
from the sea. Ahead they saw the
ragged ice upended by the tide, One
branch led to the village. which they
knew lay somewhere on the farther
side. hidden by a mile or more or sift-
ing, snow.
The going here was so rough, that
both men leaped from their seats and
