You'll. do nothing of the sort" Boyd
cried, savagely.
Clyde rose hastily, and his voice was
mered:
See here, Boyd, you're to blame for
this trouble, and now you either get
US out OF it or buy my stock"
you know that 1 can't buy your
stock"
Then I'll sell wherever L can. I've
been stung, and I want my money.
Only remember, I offered the stock to
you first"
You've got a swell chance to make
a turn IN Kalvik,p said Fraser. Why
don't you take 1t to Marsh"
Il Wilt" declared Alton.
you wouldn't do a trick like that?'
Emerson Questioned, quickly.
why not? You won't listen to my
advice. You're playing with other
peoples money, and 1t doesn't matter
to you whether you win or lose. If
this enterprise fails, I suppose you can
promote another.
Get OUT" Boyd ordered, in such a
tone that the speaker obeyed with
ludicrous haste.
"~Fingerless' Fraser broke the silence
that fell upon the young mans exit.
Hes a nice little felleri l never
knew one of those narrow-chested,
5-o'clock-tea-drinkers that was on the

Only casual"
"Where?"
"Nome-the year of the big rush"
During the mining troubles, eh?"
Sure"
What was she doing?"
Winding her business. She's good
at that" Fraser's eyes had become
green and fshy. as usual.
What do you know about herr"
We'll. I know that a lot of fellows
would go through for her at the drop
of a hat. She could nave most any
thing they've got, l guess. Most any
of them miners at Nome would sive

little thing like hat if she asked it"
What else?r
We'll, she was always considered a
right good-looldng party"
Yes. yes, of course, but what do
you know about the girl herself? Who
is she? What is her history
Now, sir. I'm an awful poor detec-
tive confessed "Fingerless" Fraser,
i've often noticed that about my
self. If I was the kind that goes

Despite this indirect rebuke Boyd
might have continued his questioning

sounded outside. A moment later the
big fellow entered.
What did you find at the traps?'
asked Emerson eagerly.
Nothing" George spoke shortly
THE fish struck in this morning, but
our trap is corked.'' He wrenched of
his rubber boots and flung them saw
sgely under a bench.
What luck with the hoats?"
Not much. Marsh's men are trying
to surround our gill-netters. and We
amt got enough boats to protect our
selves" He looked up meaningly from
under his heavy brcws. and inquired
How much longer are we going tc
stand for this?"
What do you mean? rye got mer

He's got US right enough, and it's
