They settled back close in the les
of the drift, and the wind swirled
white clouds of snow-mist over their
heads. while DeBar ate his bird and
Philip smoked The food that wen,
down DeBafs throat was only a NOR
sci, but it put new life into him, and
he gathered fresh arnifuls of stick,
and sapiing boughs until the fire burn

dred yards out in the plain, Philip heard
the outlaw burst into snatch of wild
forest song as he pulled down a dead
stub.
Seems good to have comp'ny," he
said, when he came back with his load.
my God, do you know I've never
felt quite like this-so easy and happy
like, since years and years? | wonder
If it is because ] know the end is near?'
There's still hope" replied Philip.
"Hopel" cried DeBar. "It's more
than hope. man. It's certainty for

to the other on the sledge, and spoke
as if he had known him for years. IT'S

Philip, and he edged little nearer, TN

Bar, in a low voice. 'If we get out of

"But il you win, Bill
A fash of joy shot into DeBar's eyes.
Then that be the other end" he
said more softly still. He pointed to
the big Mackenzie hound. Il said he
was next to my best friend on earth.

back there-when it happened, years
and years ago. She's thirty now, and
she's stuck to me. and prayed for me,
and believed in me for-a'most since
we were kids together, an she's writ
ten to me-'Frank Symmonds'-once a

and in every letter she's begged me to
let her come to me, wherever | was.
Butt guess the devil didn't &c, quite

But I've give in now. and we've fixed

happy. There's sure to be an end of

Ahead of him the trail ran up a
ridge, broken and scattered with rocks
and stunted scrub, and the sight of It
gave him little hope Hope died
when he. reached the top and started
out over mile of lifcless barren.
You're my only chance. Billy" he
shivered. "Mebby, il you knew what
had happened, you'd turn back and give
me the loan of a match"
He tried to laugh at his own little
joke, but it was a ghastly attempt and
his purpling lips closed tightly as he
stumbled down the ridge. As his legs
grew weaker and his blood more slug
gisl. his mind seemed to work faster.
and the multitude of thoughts that
surged through his brain made him
oblivious OF the first gnawing of a
strange dull pain. He was freezing. He
knew that without feeling pain. He had
before him, not hours. but minutes of
life. and he knew that. too. His arms
might have been cut off at the shoul-
ders for all feeling that was left in
them; he noticed, as he stumbled along
in a half run. that he could not bend
his fingers. At every step his legs grew
heavier and his feet were now leaden
weights. Yet he was surprised to hnd
that the first horror of his situation had
left him. 1t did not seem that death
was only few hundred yards away,
and he found himself thinking of Mac
Gregor, of home, and then only of Iso-
bel. He wondered, after that, II some
one of the other four had played the
game, and lost, in this same way; and
he wondered, too, if his bones would
never be found, as theirs had never
been.
He stopped again on a snow ridge
He had come a quarter of mile,
though it seemed that he had Travelled
ter times that distance.
Sixty degrees below zero-and its
the vindication of the laww
His voice scarcely broke between his
purple lips now. and the bitter sweep of
wind swayed him as he stood.

Following Mr.. Clayton the
Mayor, D. W. Robins, went into
a full explanation of the duties
and difficulties that he and his
conferes were confronted with
and through a frank statement
of the circumstances leading up
to and connected with every i'm
portant step taken by the board,
convinced his hearers that the
best intel ests of the people of
the city had oeen zealously guar
ded in every detail. At the out
set it was estimated that the
work could be done at a much
less cost, these estimates being
submitted by experienced men
and accepted by the board as re-
liable. The city hall was con
tracted for and completed for
less than the estimate; the city
Jail and fire department also
kept within the estimate; but the
light plant could not be held
down to the estimate without
doing an injustice to the city by
erecting a plant that would with
in q few years prove inadequate
to the city's demands. The to-
tai cost of the plant was in round
numbers $38, 900.
It is one of the best in the
south, and will meetthe demands
of a city much larger and at the
same time furnish lights at a less
cost than at any place in the
state, and this after lighting the
city without cost.
Mr.. Robins talk was so full OF
sound reasoning that every one
who heard him felt satisfied that
the city hadgotten value received
for every dollar paid out for i'm
provements.
