and he could be carried out with some
secrecy. In that time. if he could es-
cape from his prison, he would be well
on his way to the Wekusko. He had
no doubt that Jean was still prisoner
on the mountain top. The dogs and
sledge were there and both rifles were
where he had concealed them. 1t would
be hard race-a running fight per
haps--but he would win. and after a
time Meleese would come to him,
away down at the little hotel Oh the
Saskatchewan.
He rose to his feet, his blood grow
ing warm, his eyes shining in the can
delight. The thought of the girl as
she had come to him out in the night
put back into him all of his old fight
ing strength. all of his unconIuerable
hope and confidence. She had follow

Of her arms. the terror and love of her
lips as she thought him dying She
had given herself to him. and she
would come to him-his lady of the
snows-if he could escape.
He went to the door and showed
against it with his shoulder. 1t was

and arm through the first of the mar

with which his fingers came in contact

EnSaI into consciousness and pain.
ESsXs9 He knew that he was no
longer in the snow. His fingers dug
into damp earth as he made an effort
to raise himself, and with that effort 1t
seemed as though redhof knife had
cleft him from the top Of his skull to
his chest The agony Of that instant's
pain drew a sharp cry from him. and
he clutched both hands to his head.
The fingers of Howland's right hand
were sticky when he drew them away
from his head, and he shivered. The
tongue of flame leaping out Of the
night, the thunderous report. the del
uge of fire that had filed his brain, ali
bore their meaning for him now, It
had been a close CALL so close that
shivering chills ran up and down his
spine as he struggled little by little to
lift himself to his knees. His enemy's
shot had grazed his head.
1t seemed an interminable time be
fore he could rise and stand on his feet
and reach the candle Slowly he felt
his way along the wall until he came
to a low. heavy door barred from the
outside, and just beyond this door he
found a narrow aperture cut through
the decaying logs 1t was yard in
length and barely wide enough for him

of these narrow slits in his prison walls

the door
Near the table on which he replaced
the candle was a stool. and he sat
down Carefully he went through his
