'You will tell me all that 1 want to

the thong about his wrists.
He led the way then to the cabin.
The door was closed, but opened readi-

single room was lighted by a window
through which a mass Of snow had
drifted. and contained nothing more

In silvery streak along the top Of

M ScuT -
From deep in the forest came the
baying Of the Mackenzie hound. This
time it was much nearer. and for a
moment Howland's eyes left the
Frenchman's terrified face as he turned
his head to listen.
"They are comingv exclaimed Crois-
set. "M,seur. l swear to-
Again Howland's pistol covered his
heart.
'Then it is even more necessary that
I kill you" he said. with frightful
calmness. Il warned you that would
kill you If you led me into a trap,
Croisset. The dogs are pushed. There
is no way out Of this but to fight-if
there are people coming down the
trail. Listen to that"'
This time. from still nearer. came
the shout of man and then of an
other, followed by the huskies' sharp
yelping as they started afresh on the
trail. The flush of excitement that had
come into Howland's face paled until
he stood as white as the Frenchman.
But it was not the wilderness Of fear
His eyes were like blue steel flashing
In the sunlight.
"There is nothing to do but fight" he
repeated. even more calmly than be-
fore. IF we were a mile or two back
there it could all happen as planned

"They will hear the Shots" cried
Jean. 1.-THE post is no more than a
gunshot beyond the forest, and there
are plenty there who would come out
to see what it means. Quick. m'seur-
follow me! Possibly they are hunters
going out to the trap lines. If it comes
to the worst
"What then? demanded Rowland.
"You can shoot me a little later"

show of his old GOODNESS. Mon Dieu,
I am afraid of that gun. m'seur l

you give me the chance, or will you
shoot?"
~ will shoot-if you fail" replied the
engineer.
Barely were the words out of his
mouth when Croisset sprang to the
head of the dogs, seized the leader by
his neck trace and half dragged the
team and sledge through the thick
bush that edged the trail. A dozen
PAGES farther on the dense scrub open

hanging banskian through which Jean
started at slow trot. with Rowland
yard behind him and the huskies
following with human-like cleverness
in the sinuous twistings of the trail
which the Frenchman marked out for
them. They had progressed not more
than 300 yards when there came to
them for third time the hallooing Of
a voice. With sharp 'hup-hup" and
a low crack Of his whip Jean stopped
the dogs.
1.-THE Virgin be praised. but that is
luck! he exclaimed. 'They have turn
ed of into another trail to the east,
m'seur."
Rowland had broken the breech of
his revolver and was replacing the
three empty cartridges with fresh ones

time" he said. holding out the weap-

and is now making preparations
to fight the suitin district court
which he brought some weeks
ago against Herbert Dixon for
the possession of a quarter sec
ton of land out in. the hills.
Early in the fall Mr.. Dahl made
up his mind to go into Canada to
take a homestead and was at
that time informed by Dixon
that a person owning any|land in
United States was not eligible to
file on land in Canada. AS Dahl
proved up and owned a quarter
section here and was unable to
sell it Immediately without suf-
fering a loss he changed his
mind about going until Dixon
suggested the land be decided
over to him, and that he would
hold the deed without recording
same until Dahl returned. from
Canada. Dahl consented to this
and the deed was drawn up and
signed, and Dahl left for Canada
and when filing on a claim learn.
ed that it made no difference
whether he owned land here or
not, but would be allowed to file
On getting this in
formation he returned to Bow
bells Immediately and demanded
Of Dixon. that the deed be re-
turned to him and was refused.
Contrary to the arrangements.
n1ade Dixon had placed the
deed on record Immediately af-
teri it came into, his possession
and would not transfer the. land
back except for a consideration
Seeing ne was up against it.
Dahl consulted his attorney, c..
E. Pierson, and the suit. was
brought to cancel the deed
which had been placed on re-
cord. The case will be tried at
the term of court next week.

John Andrews Explains Some

The following humorous des-

around, is both amusing and in
structive. ~
Up at the secretary of states
office we are preparing blanks
and books for the assessorto car
ry around with him next spring.
l am beginning to wonderful the
assessor of the future won't look
more like furniture van on
moving day than areal live man.
Besides getting a BIRDS eye view
of your property, real and per-
.sonal, and making you :perjure
yourself eternally to escape pay
ing taxes on money in the bank
or dimonds in the safety deposit
box, he has to find out all the
statistics possible and whether
you are fit and of age for. milit-
aryduty. Then he turns solicitor
and begins to see if. you don't
need some of the states hail
insurance and will take your ap-
plication and your premium
money and prove to you, besides
that he is working for the: best
and most reliable and at: the
same time the cheapest insur-
ance company extant. Having
closed that item he will turn in
quisitor: and ask you your. nativ-
ity, your postofice address, your
street number, your age, and
finally, spring this: What
party do you affiliate WITH"
Then he springs exhibit "A"
which is'a blank form that you
must sign your name to two
times'' 1.-THE law says) and swear
solemnly to. In that form you
swear, affirm and asservate that
you are a republican, democrat,
socialist, populist or prohibition
ist-as the case may be. And
when you have sworn Mr..
Assessor puts it down in his
book under the initial of your
name, You won't answer?
And you will not sign your name
two times,' (oh wondrous leg
islative wisdom in that: two
times")? And you will not swear
that you affiliate; with: any
blamed party?. You will not?
Then you will not vote at the
June primary that's all: '' Your
name haste be in the book; and
and the little book will be in the
hands Of the election judges on

Maybe you will change your

Very well, swear solemnly,
