That she had made no effort to free
him did not at first strike him as sig
nificant. He still felt the sweet, warm
touch Of her lips, the pressure OF her
arms, the ~smothering softness Of her
hair. It was not until he again heard
approaching sounds that he returned
once more to a full consciousness of
the mysterious thing that had hap
pened. He heard, first Of all, the
creaking of a toboggan on the hard
crust, then the ~pattering of dogs feet,
n after that the voices of men. The
sounds stopped on the trail a dozen feet
away from him.
With a strange thrill he recognized
Croisset's voice.
You must be sure that you make no
mistake" he heard the half-breed say.

body-and they will send down fora

M'seur."
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 more that was
said until Croisset, coming nearer,
called out:
Help me with the M'seur before you
go, Jackpine. He is a dead weight with
all those rawhides about him."
AS coolly as though he were not
more than a chunk of stovewood, Crois-
set and the Indian came through the
bushes, seized him by the head and
feet, carried him out into the trail and
laid him lengthwise on the sledge.

and shoulders and covering him with
heavy furs. I'VE should have been
back sooner, but it was impossible.
Hoo-la, Woonga!" he called softly to
his lead dog. Get up there, you wolf

As the sledge started, with Croisset
running close to the leader, Rowland
heard the low swapping of a whip be-
hind him and another voice urging on
other dogs. With al effort that al
most dislocated his neck he twisted
himself so he could look back of aim.
A hundred yards away he discerned
a second team following in his trail;
he saw a 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 surmise. Mile after
mile the two sledges continued with
out a stop. Croisset did not turn his
head; no word fell from his lips. ex-
cept an occasional signal to the dogs.
The trail had turned now straight
into the North, and soon Rowland
could make out no sign of 1t, but knew
only that they were twisting through
the most open places in the forests.

was never over his left shoulder or his

Would you please let me know
through your paper how to remove a
butter stain from a light tan serge
dress, without using a liquid? Also,
could you tell me how to reduce the
size of one of my hips, it being much
larger than the other?- Thanking you,
I am, yours truly, AUGUSTA.
To remove the grease spot from your
dress put a piece of blotting paper owe
the spot and place a hot iron on the
blotting paper. The heat will draw the
grease into the blotting paper. There
is no way to reduce the size of one of
your hips. Very few persons hips
measur exactly alike.
