Mr., Smoot was present at the time OF

earnest. He has been resident OF
Salt Lake City for siXty-thrce years
hence he knew what be was talking
about. He denied the story told thai
when the pioneers came to the Salt
Lake valley that it was covered with
sagebrush, but declared that the val
ley was covered with luxurious
growth of bunch grass that was about
waist high. and that he had never seen
sagebrush within the corporate limits
of Salt Lake. and as he had helped to
survey the town, was confident that he

said Rowland aloud. Didn't see
any houses and heard nothing but
wolves. Is that where we're GO
ing?"
Her white teeth cleaned at him
and he was conscious of warm
pressure against his arm as the
girl signified that they were to
cross. His perplexity ncreased.i
On the farther shore the forest
came down to the rivers edge in
a black wall Of spruce and balsam.
Beyond that edge Of the wilderness
he knew that no part of Prince AL
bert intruded. 1t was possible
that across from them was a squat
ter's cabin; and yet If this were so,
and the girl was geinS to it. why
had she told him that she was a
stranger in the town? And why
had she come to him for the as
sistance she promised to request of
him instead of seeking it of those
whom she knew?

CHAPTER III.
The Mysterious Attack,

Rowland was glad that for a
time there was an excuse for his
silence. 1t began to dawn on him
that this was an extraordinary ad-
venture for man on whose Shout
ders rested the responsibilities of
one of the greatest engineering
tasks on the continent, and who
was due to take train for the seat
of his operations at o'clock in the
morning. Inwardly he was expert
encing some strange emotions;
outwardly he smiled as he thought
of what Van Horn would say If he
knew the circumstances. He looked
down at his companion, saw the
sheen OF her hair as 1t rippled out
from under her fur turban, studied
chin, without himself being OBJ

served, and noted. incidentally, that
the top OF the bewitching head be-
side him came just about to a level
with his cigar which he was smok-
ing. He wondered II he were max
ing fool of himself. If so, he as
sured himself that there was at
least one compensation. This
night In Prince Albert would not
be so uninteresting as 1t had prom
ised to be earlier in the evening.
Where the river ferry was half
drawn up or the shore, its stern
frozen in the ice, he paused and
looked dowa at the girl In quiet sur
prise. She nodded, smiling. and
