He went to bed that night and
dreamed of things that were to happen.
A second day, a third night, and a third
day came. With each hour grew his
anxiety for Jeans return. At times he
was almost feverish to have the affair
over with. He was confident of the
outcome, and yet he did not fail to
take the Frenchman's true measure
ment. He knew that Jean was like live
wire and steel, as agile as a cat, more
han a match with himself in open
fight, despite his own superior weight
and size. He devised a dozen schemes
for leans undoing. One was to leap on
him while he a eating; another to
spring on him and choke him into par
tial insensibility as he knelt beside his
pack OF fed the fire; a third to strike
a blow from behind that would render
him powerless. But there was some
thing in this last that was repugnant
to him. He remembered that Jean had
saved his life, that in no instance had
he given him physical pain. He would
watch for an opportunity, take advant-
age of the Frenchman. as Croisset had
taken advantage Of him, but he would
not hurt him seriously. It should be as
Ialr q as Jean nau OIereo MIN,
and with the handicap in his, favor the
best man would win.
On the morning of the fourth day
Rowland was awakened by a sound
that came through the aperture in the
wall. It was the sharp yelping bark of
a dog. followed an instant later by the
sharp crack of a whip. and a familiar
voice.
Jean Croisset had returned!
With a single leap he was out of his
bunk. Half dressed he darted to the
door, and crouched there, the muscle
of his arms Tightening, his body tense
with the gathering forces within him.
The spur of the moment had driven
him to quick decision. His opportunity
would come when Jean Croisset passed
through that door,

CHAPTER XII.

DEYOND the door Rowland heard
n Jean pause. There followed a few
moments silence. as though the
ether were listening for sound within.
Then there came a fumbling at the
bar and the DOR swung Inward.
bon jour, M'seur," called Jeans
cheerful voice as he stepped inside. SIS
1t possible you are not up, with all
this dog-barking and"
His eyes had gone to the empty bunk.
Despite his cheerful greeting Rowland
saw that the Frenchman's face was
haggard and pale as he turned quickly
toward him. He observed no further
than that. but flung his whole weight
on the unprepared Croisset. and to-
gether they crashed to the floor.
There was scare a struggle and
Jean lay still. He was fiat
on his back, his arms pinioned
to his sides, and bringing himself
astride the Frenchman's body so that
each knee imprisoned an arm Rowland
coolly began looping the babeesh thongs
that he had snatched from the table
as he sprang TO the door. Behind
Howland's back Jeans legs shot sud
denly upward. In a quick, choking
clutch of steel-like muscle they gripped
about his neck like powerful arms and
in another instant he was twisted
backward with a force that sent him
half neck broker to the opposite wall.
He staggered to his feet, dazed for a
moment, and lean Croisset stood IN the
middle of the floor, his caribou skin
coat thrown off. his hands c~lenched, his
yes darkening with a dangerous fire.
AS quickly as IT had come the fire died
away, and as he advanced slowly his
shoulders hunched over. his white teeth
CLEANED in a smile. Rowland smiled
back and advanced to meet him. There
was no humor. no friendliness in the
smiles. Both had seen that flash of
teeth and deadly scintillation of eyes
at other times; both knew what It
meant.
81 believe hat I will kill you. M'seur."
said Jean, softly. There was no ex-
citement. no tremble of passion In his
voice. 81 have been thinking that 1
ought to kill you. l had almost made
up my mind TO kill you when l came
back. to this Maison de Mort Rouge.
1t Is the justice of God that 1 kill you'll"
The two men circled, like beasts in a
pit, Rowland in the attitude of a boxer,
Jean with his shoulders bent, his arms
slightly curved at his side. the toes of
his moccasined feet bearing his weight.
Suddenly he launched himself at the

SHAKER STOCKINGS.

Where have all the old aunts gone
Who used to come together,
With their blue-checked aprons on,
In the summer weather. =
Round some neighbor's living room
Quite contented sitting,
Almost every afternoon,
And always with their knitting.
Turn the heel, narrow the toe,
Creaking chairs a-rocking,
Waggling heads as white as snow.
Gossiping and talking,
That's the YER way, you know,
To knit a Shaker stocking.
Old Aunt Kitty, old Aunt Poll,
Old Aunt Sally Walker,
Aunt Ann, in her Paisley shawl,
Fresh from scented locker:
Aunt Lucretia with her cane,
Aunt Dorindy Sprocket,
And best Of all. my old Aunt Jane
With sweetftag in her pocket.
Turn the heel, narrow the toe,
Set the chairs ~a-rocking;
How the golden moments go
When you're busy talking!
IT'S an easy thing, you know,
To knit a Shaker stocking.
Seems to me that nowadays
There is something lacking,
People have such different ways.
Good times must be Stacking;
Same old robins on the bough
Chirp Of summer weather,
But where are all the old aunts nov
That used to knit together?
Bind the heel. finish the toe,
Chairs go on a-rocking,
But the quick years come and go,
Many m~ilestones mock'ng,
Till there's no one left, YOU know,
To knit a Shaker stocking. :

A Way to Remove Ink.
Dear Margery Doom:

Dear Marg6ry DoOh
Can you tell me how l could possibly
remove ink spots from the age of "a
upset ink on a borrowed book. By SO
doing you will oblige, yours,
GRATEFUL.
The ink spots may be removed by
applying spirits of salts diluted with
five or six times their bulk of water
and washed off in two or three minutes
with clear water. A solution Of oxalic,
citric o tartaric acid will answer the
same purpose, as neither OF them will
injure the printing.
