oner-pennoed up In a desolate
room in the heart of wilderness.
And he, Jack Rowland, a man who
had always taken pride in his
physical prowess, had allowed one
man to place him there.
His blood began to boi, as he
thought Of it. Now, as he had time
and silence in which to look back
on what had happened, he was en-
ragged at the pictures that flashed
one after another before him. He
had allowed himself to be used as
nothing more than pawn in a
strange and mysterious game. II
was not through his efforts alone
that he had been saved in the fight
on the Saskatchewan trail. Blindly
he had walked into the trap at the
coyote. Still more blindly he had
allowed himself to be led into the
ambush at the Wekusko camp. Ant

had submitted himself to Jear

Again the door was closed and
bolted and the sound of Croisset's
footsteps quickly died away beyond
the log walls. Many minutes passed
before Rowland thought of his pipe,
or fire. Then, shiveringly, he
went to seek the fuel which Jean
had told him was behind the stove.
The old bay stove was soon roar
ing with the fire which he built,
and as the soothing fumes of his
pipe impregnated the damp air of
the room he experienced a sensa-
ton of comfort which was In
strange contrast to the exciting
happenings of the past few days.
At last he was alone, with moth
ing to do for a week but eat, sleep
and smoke. He had plenty of to-
bacco and an inspection of the pack
showed that Croisset had left him
well stocked with food. Tilted back
in a chair. with his feet on the
