A week later little band of men on
snow shoes, wrapped in furs to their
eyes, every one heavily burdened with
a pack, staggered into the clearing
where once had been pitched the Matt
land camp. The place was covered
with snow, of course, but on shelf of
rock half way up the hogback, they
found a comparatively level clearing,

keep the three who remained from
freezing to death. Fortunately they
were favored with a brief period of
pleasant weather. and few days
served to make a sufficiently habitable
camp. Maitland, Kirkby and Arm

was no thought of search at first: their
lives depended upon the erection OF a
suitable shelter. and II was not until

but what's the use of trying to do it

for her there"
But you will never come back II

II don't care whether / do or not.

Robert Maitland knew men. He rec

when he saw 1t, and 1t was quite evil

then. 1t was no use to say more.
Very WELL" he said. IL honor you

At that moment there was tap on
the door. A clerk from the outer Of

old Kirkby was in the ante room.

eager to welcome him.
He fancied that the newcomer would
undoubtedly assist him in dissuading
Armstrong from his foolhardy, useless
enterprise
"Mornin', old man." drawled Kirby.
"Howdy, Armstrong, my respects to
you, sir" he said sinking his voice

In tho Meantime.

There had been a row at recess
time, and Miss Martin had called in
all Of the pupils, and had a sort OF
a school court, which lasted until time
for school to be dismissed. The trou-
BILE had started with some Of the older
boys in a misunderstanding over q
game. After hearing both sides OF
the question, she decided proper pun
ishment for the coslbatants, and told
them to remain in their seats after
the others had gone home. She re-
membered something she wanted to
say to a little boy who did not take
part in the ARRAY, SO she turned to
him and said:

Not altogether admirable had been

characterized often been lacking, but
even the base can love, and sometimes
love transforms, If it be given

could not make him a patient phil

life was not very high, but in one way
it was admirable, in that prompt. bold
desire action was his chiefest charac-
teristic.
On this certain morning month
after the heart-breaking disaster, his
power of passive endurance had been
strained to tho vanishing point. The
great white range was flung in his face
like a challenge. Within its secret re-
cesses lay the solution Of the mystery.
Somewhere, dead or alive, beyond the
soaring rampant was the woman he
loved. It was impossible for him to
remain quiet any longer. Common
sense, reason, every argument that
had been adduced, suddenly became of
no weight He lifted his head and
stared straight westward, his eyes
swept the long semicircle of horizon
across which the mighty range was
drawn like the chord of gigantic arc
or the string of mighty bow. Each

D Most of Furnish
ings Were Saved.

The home Of Dick Robertson
was completely destroyed by
fire Saturday afternoon about A
o'clock, the blaze originating
from defective fiue, that had
probably been made faulty in
the remodeling Of the home over
a year ago. The flames had
gained such Roadway in the at
tic, that nothing could be done
except to save the contents and
protect adjacent property
The Robertson family were at
home except Mr.. Robertson,
who was out on his run to Jop-
lin and did not know of the loss
of his home until his return
Sunday night.
Nearly all the furniture and
household goods were saved, in
Guiding a number of family
heirlooms in the way of antique
mahogany furniture. The $500
insurance probably covers the
loss on the furnishings.
The home valued at $4,000 to
$500 was insured for only
$1,000 and the family have the
sympathy of many friends in
this property loss as we'll as the
deprivation of their home in
this extreme weather.
