"Of course, sorrow, pain and rage

"Why do they cry? For a new

Twice he shouted for Croisset,
but there came no response save
the hollow echoing of his own voice
in the subterranean chambers. Az

sanely. If Meleese was a prisoner
in hr room 1t was probable that
CrOisset, who was now fully recog-
nized as a traitor at the post, could

not understood was clear to him
now. He understood why Meleese
had not revealed the names OF. his
assailants at Prince Albert and We
kusk0; he understood why she had
fled from him after his abduction,
and why jean had SO faithfully
kept secrecy for her sake. She had
fought to save him, and In these
last minutes of his life he would
liked to have had Croisset with
him that he might have taken his
hand and thanked him for what he
had done. And because he had
fought for him and Meleese the
Frenchman's. fate was to be almost
as terrible as his own. 1t was he
who would fire the fatal shot at 6
o'clock. Not the brothers, but
Jean Croisset, would be his exeou-
toner and murderer.
The minutes passed swiftly, and
as they went Rowland was aston
ished to find how coolly he await
ed the end. He even began to de-
bate with himself as to through
which hole the fatal shot would be
fired. No matter where he stood

or shadowy corner in which for .
few moments he might elude his
executioner. He even smiled whom

was possibl to extinguish the light
and crawl under the table, thus
gaining a momentary delay. But
what would that delay avail him!
He was anxious for the fatal min

CHAPTER XVII.
Meleese.

For many minutes Rowland
stood waiting as If life had left
him. His eyes were on the door,
but unseeing. He made no sound,
no movement again toward the
aperture in the wall. Fate had
realt him the final blow, and when
at last he reused himself from its
first terrible effect there remained
no glimmering of hope in his
breast, no thought of the battle
he had been making for freedom
a short time before. The note flut
tered from his fingers and he drew
his watch from his pocket and
placed it on the table. 1t was a
quarter after five There still re-
manned as minutes.
Three-quarters of an hour and
then-death! There was no doubt
in his mind this time. Even in
the coyote, with eternity staring
him in the face, he had hoped and
fought for life. But here there was
no hope, there was to be no fight
ing. Through one of the black
holes in the wall he was to be shot
down, with no chance to defend
himself, to prove himself innocent.
And Meleese-did she, too, believe
him guilty of that crime?
He groaned aloud and picked up
the note again. Softly he repeated
her last words to him: III God
fails to answer my prayers / will
still do as | have promised, and
follow you" Tsose words seemed
to cry aloud his doom. Even Me-
leese had given up hope. And yet,
was there not deeper significance
in her words? He started as II
SOM one had struck him, his eyes
agleam.
81 will follow you"
He almost sobbed the words this
time. His hands trembled and he
dropped the upper again on the ia
BILE and turned his eyes In staring
horror toward the door. What did
she mean? Would Meleese kill
herself If he was murdered by her
brothers? He could see no other

(Contjnued.)

ION this day there came to our
post, from the Churchill way, John
Rowland and his SON.
With a sharp cry he sprang to
his feet, overturning the stool, fac
ing Croisset, his hands clenched,
his body bent as IL about to spring.
Jean stood calmly, his white teeth
agleam. Then slowly, he stretched
out a hand.
"M'seur John Rowland, will you
read what happened to the father
and mother of the little Meleese
sixteen years ago? Will you read,
and understand why your life was
sought on the Great North Trail,
why you were placed on a case OF
dynamite in the WekuskO coyote,
and why, with the coming of the
mornings dawn--at six"
He paused, shivering. Rowland
seemed not to notice the tremen-
dous effort Croisset was making
to control himself. With the dazed
speechlessness of one recovering
from a sudden blow he turned to
the table and bent over the papers
that the Frenchman had laid out
before him. Five minutes later he
raised his head. His face was as
white as chalk. Deep lines had
settled about his mouth. AS a
sick man might, he lifted his hand
and passed it over his face and
through his hair. But his eyes
were afire. Involuntarily Jena's
body gathered itself as If to meet
attack.
81 have read it," he said huskily,
as though the speaking of the
words caused him a great effort.
81 understand now. My name Is
John Rowland. And my fathers
name was John Rowland. l under

There was silence, in which the
eyes of the two men met.

gineer, advancing step. AND

He stopped, waiting for Jean to
comprehend, to speak.
"M'seur, it make no difference
what L believe now. have but
one other thing to tell you here
and one thing to. give to YOU" re-
piled Jean. "Those who have tried
to kill you are the three brothers.
Meleese is their sister. Ours is
strange country, Mseur, gov
erned since the beginning of our
time by laws which we have made
ourselves. To those who are wait
ing above no torture is too great
for you. They have condemned
you to death. This morning, ex-
actly as the minute hand of your
watch counts off the hour of six,
you will be shot to death through
one of these holes in the dungeon
walls. And this-this note from
Meleese--is the last thing I have
to give you"
He dropped a folded bit Of paper
ON the table. Mechanically How
land reached for it. Stunned and
speechless, cold with the horror Of
his death sentence. he smoothet
out the note. There were only 9
few words, apparently written ir
great haste.
81 have been praying for you al
night. If God fails to answer my
prayers l will still do as l have
promisedand follow you.
"MELEESE."
He heard a movement and lifted
his eyes. Jean was gone. The
door was winging slowly inward
He heard the wooden bolt slip into
place, and after that there was not
even the sound of moccasined
foot stealing through the outer
darkness.
