AS stealthily as their master they trailed
behind him to the edge of the forest, and
close under the old spruce that guarded
the grave Jan stopped. and silently he
stretched out his arms to the little cabin.
The dogs watched him. Kazan, the one

spruce tops, and from JAMS throat there

He turned into the trail upon which
Jean de Gravois had fought the English
man. led his dogs and sledge in twisting
path through the caribou swamp, and
stood at last beside the lob-stick tree that
leaned out over the edge of the white
barrens. With his knife he dug out the
papers which he had concealed in that
whisky-jack hole.
1t was near dawn when he recovered the
rifle which he had abandoned on the
mountain top. A little later it began to

his trail.

cursing and the woman was laughing at
him-laughing as Jan had never heard a
woman laugh before, and he held his
breath as he listened to the haunting
mockery in it. Others followed the first
man and the first woman. Some passed
quietly. A woman, escorted between two
men, screamed with merriment as she

from his own lips that awakened him
again to a consciousness of the present.
He jerked himself erect and found ka-

had risen. He was standing close to him,
leaning down, staring at him in the dim
lamplight, and as Jan lifted his own eyes
he knew that in the pale, eager face OF
the man above him there was written
grief which might have been a reflection
of his own. For full breath or two
they looked, neither speaking. and the
hair along Kazan's spine stood stiff.

found a new pack. a few articles of food

Cannot Be Elected.

Another gripping installment of THE
Great Came" which is rounding out
into one of the most interesting of
present-day detective stories. appears
in our next Sunday Magazine, and then
an illuminating article on THE Speak
err of the national House of Repre-
sentatives. by Foxcroft Davis.
Mr.. Davis discusses the probabilities
of a Speaker becoming President. "It
has been proved something like fifty
times" he says, that the Speaker, no
matter how splendid his abilities, how
tremendous his hold upon the popular
imagination. no matter how fitted to
be President, no matter how enthusi-
astically nominated and supported, can
not be elected President There is but
one exception to this extraordinary
course of events. James X. Polk was
Speaker for single term and Presi-
dent for one term All of which has
an interesting bearing on this season
of politics.
And then, to round out the issue,
Carolyn Wells supplies a seasonable
monologue. "The Night Before Christ
mas" 1t is done with Miss Wells
customary skill

turned his head little so that the light
did not shine in his face. The grip OF his
fingers frightened about JAMS hand.
