She knew him now; his action in
discovering his features had but
hastened slightly the confirmation OF
her most dread premonition. And OF a
sudden her face was mask OF chalk

fires OF terror. Coast saw her sway,

CHAPTER xlII.-(contlnued.)

Blackstock spoke abruptly the in
stant Coast succeeded In forcing the
door to-aAruptly and harshly, but
with a certain jerky intonation that
betrayed tangled nerves: an involun-
tary confession most welcome TO its
hearer; this was, after all, with
all its viciousness, a human being
no such nerveless monster of blood
and iron as Appleyard had pictured
In his narrative of the hour OF the as
sassination, or even as Coast had
come TO figure the man in his long
days Of hopeless brooding.
Who's that?" he cried. who's
there? What the devil"
He paused to control his agi-
tation. But Coast withheld his reply
an appreciable moment. Then, Mr..
Black, / believer" he said quietly.
Black" The man started at sound
OF an unfamiliar voice. and Coast saw
his great frame quiver-slightly, in
deed, but perceptibly. That's my
name" he continued hoarsely. But
who are you? What
d'you mean by coming in here with
out knocking?" he added with sho@
of buster.
Il knocked-several times" Coast
lied steadily. "The wind, doubtless
Sorry startled you; thought
you'd be expecting me-"
Expecting you" Blackstock moved
impatiently. But, damn it, who are
you? Can't you give yourself manner"
why, Handyside, OF course"
Coasts tone was a perfection of po-
lite surprise. Surely" It seemed to
say. "you must've been looking for
mel" Distrusting deliberately arti-
fetal infections, he was at pains TO
speak crisply as was not his habit;
such being the only way he could
think OF TO disguise his voice. He
was watching Blackstock closely, alert
for a sign of recognition In the mans
expression. Somewhat to his surprise

HOW INDIANS MADE HISTORY
Only in Tradition Does History Live
and Only One Version of Story
Is Ever Heard.

If we could only get at the facts or
the history of our Indian tribes, 1T,
would be Of interest to compare these
with what is related as the fortune OF
most civilized nations. It is only in
tradition that the history of the In
dian lives, and only one version of
the story is ever heard. Sometimes
this is so true to nature that no room
for doubt can be found. Such is the
following chapter from the annals of
the Beavers, a Canadian tribe.
One day a young CHIEF shot his an
row through a dog belonging to an
other brave. The brave revenged the
death of his dog, and instantly hum
dred bows were drawn. Ere night had
fallen some eighty warriors lay dead
around the camp, the pine woods rang
with the lamentations of the women;
the tribe had lost its bravest men.
There was temporary truce. The
friends Of the chief whose arrow had
killed the dog yet numbered some
sixty people, and it was agreed that
they should separate from the tribe
and seek their fortune in the vast
wilderness lying 60 the south.
In the night they began their
march; sullenly their brethren saw
them depart, never to return. They
went their way to the shores of the
Lesser Slave Lake, toward the great
plains which were said to be far
southwark, by the banks of the swift
rolling Saskatchewan.
The tribe of the Beavers never saw
this exiled band again, but hundred
years later a Beaver Indian who fol-
lowed the fortunes of a white fur
hunter found himself in one Of the
forts Of the Saskatchewan. Strange
Indians were camped about the pail
sades; they were members of the
great Blackfoot tribe, whose hunting
grounds lay south Of the Saskatche.
wan. Among them were a few braves
who when they conversed spoke a Ian
guage different from that of the 9TH
ers; in this language the Beaver. In.
dian recognized his own tongue
