either case he would possess an
overwhelming advantage.
With the same calculating atten-
ton to detail that he would have
shown in the arrangement of plans
for the building of a tunnel or a
bridge, he drew a mental map OF
his scheme and its possibilities.
There would be at least two men
with the sledge, and possibly three.
If they surrendered at the point of
his rifle without fight he would
compel Jean to tie them up with
dog-traces, while he held them I'M
der cover. If they made a move to
offer resistance he would shoot.
With the automatic he could kill or
wound the three before they could
reach their rifles, which would I'M
doubtedly be on the sledge. The
situation had now reached a point
where he no longer took into con-
sideration what these men might
be to Meleese.
AS they continued into the north
west Rowland noted that the thick
err forest was gradually clearing
into wide areas Of small banskian
pine, and that the rock ridges and
dense swamps which had impeded
their progress were becoming less
numerous. An hour before noon,
after a tedious climb to the top OF
a frozen ridge, Croisset pointed
down into a vast level plain lying
between them and other great
ridges far to the north.
That is a bit of the Barren
Lands that creeps down between
those mountains off there, M'seur,"
he said. do you see that black
forest that looks like charred log
in the snow to the south and west
of the mountains? That is the

and let me put a bullet through
you, M'seur."
He went to the head of the dogs,
guiding them down the rough side
of the ridge, while Rowland stead
led the toboggan from behind. For
three-quarters of an hour they trav-
ersed the low bush of the plain in
silence. From every rising snow
hummock Jean scanned the white
dissolution about them, and each
time, as nothing that was human
came within his vision, he turned
toward the engineer with a sinister
shrug of his shoulders. Once three
moving caribou, mile or more
away brought a quick cry to his
lips adm Rowland noticed that a
sudden flush of excitement came
into his face, replaced in the next
instant by look of disappoint-
ment. After this he maintained a
more careful guard over the
Frenchman. They had covered less
than half of the distance to the
caribou trail when in small open
space free of bush Croisset's voice
rose sharply and the team stopped.

to his occasional questions. Dog
gedly he swung on ahead to the
right and a little behind the team
leader, and Rowland could see that
for some reason Croisset was as
anxious as himself to make the
best time possible. His own impa-
tience increased as the morning
heightened. Jeans assurance that
the mysterious enemies who had
twice attempted his life were only
a short distance behind them, or a
short distance ahead, set a new and
desperate idea at work In his
brain. He was confident that these
men from Wekusko were his chief
menace, and that with them once
out of the way, and with the
Frenchman in his power, the fight
which he was carrying into the
enemy's country would be half
won. There would then be no one
to recognize him but Meleese.
His heart leaped with joyous
hope, and he leaned forward onNthe
