Stupefied with horror, Rowland
strained his ears to catch the rest
of the cold-blooded scheme which
he was overhearing. but the voices
grew lower and he understood no

into the trail and laid him length

dog. "Get up there, you wolf

AS the sledge started, with Crois-
set running close to the leader,
Rowland heard the low swapping
of a whip behind him and another
voice urging on other dogs. With
an effort that almost dislocated his
neck he twisted himself so he could
look back of him. A hundred
yards away he discerned a second
team following in his trail; he saw
shadowy figure running at the
head Of the dogs, but what there
was on the sledge. or what it
meant, he could not see or sur
mise. Mile after mile the two
sledges continued without stop.
Croisset did not turn his head; no
word fell from his lips, except an
occasional signal to the dogs. The
trail had turned now straight into
the north, and soon Rowland could
make no sign of it, but knew only
that they were twisting through
the most open places in the for
ests, and that the play of the Polar
lights was never over his left
shoulder or his right, bu. always
in his face.

at that signal Howland's arms were
seized from behind, and in another
instant he was struggling feebly in
the grip of powerful arms which
had fastened themselves about
him like wire cable, and the cry
that rose to his lips was throttled
by a hand over his mouth. For an
instant he caught a glimpse OF the
girls white face as she stood in
the trail; then strong arms pulled
him back, while others bound his
wrists and still others held his
legs. Everything had passed. In

Yoices that came family to him

could understand nothing that they
