CHAPTER XIV.
Temptation.


"HE dogs were sitting upon their
launches waiting when Jan
and KaZan went back to them.
Over a fire Jan hung his cof-
fee pail and big chunk of frozen carl
bou meat and tossed frozen fish to the
hungry dogs.
With his sickness, his deathly feel
ing of loneliness and heartache, there
had entered into Jan now a strange
sensation that was almost excitement
an eagerness to fasten the dogs in
their traces, to hurry on in spite of his
exhaustion to that place which Thorn
ton had told him of-Prince Albert
and to free himself there for all time
Of the thing which had oppressed him
since that night many years ago when
he had staggered into Lac Balm to play
his violin as Cummins' wife died. He
reached inside his skin coat, and there
he felt papers which he had taken
from the hole in the lob stick tree.
They were safe. For twenty years he
had guarded them. Tomorrow he
would take them to the great company
at Prince Albert. And after that-aft-
er he had done this thing, what would
there remain in life for Jan ThOreau?
Perhaps the company might take him,
and he would remain in civilization.
That would be best-for him. He
would fight against the call of his for
ests as years and years ago he had
fought against that call of the other
world that had filled him with unrest
for a time. He had killed that. If he
did return to his forest he would go far
to the west or far to the east. No
one that had ever known him would
hear again of Jan Thoreau.
Kazan had crept to his blanket, dar-
ing to encroach upon it inch by inch
until his great wolf head lay upon
JAMS arm. 1t was ten years ago that
Jan had taken KaZan, little half
blind puppy that he and Melissa had
chosen from a litter of half a dozen
stronger brothers and sisters. KaZan
was all that was left to him now. He
loved the other dogs, but they were
not like Kazan. He frightened his arm
about the dogs head. Exhaustion
and the warmth of the fire made him
drowsy, and after time he slept,
with his head thrown back against the
tree
Something awoke him hours after
ward. He opened his eyes and found
that the fire was still burning bright
". On the far side of it beyond the
dog sat Thornton. A look at the sky,
where the stars were dying, and Jan
knew that it was just before the gray
break of dawn. He sat upright.

At Rest.

Called by her Heavenly Father,
Helen Agnes Smith entered into rest
November 10, 1918. The Death Angel
released her from the suffering endur-
ed for ten years.
Helen was horn in Lancaster March
20, 1884, and received her education
IN the Lancaster High School. The
remainder of her young life was spent
in helping, ss much as health and
strength would permit, with the home
duties, making ''Eome'' an attractive
place for her loved ones. When Helen
was five years of age her mother was
called to the Great Beyond so Aunt
Sarah was the only mother she ever
knew. She had made preparation to
60 to Wyoming to spend the winter
with her sister, Mrs. William Hat
field, known to her friends as Mary,
in the hope that the change of climate
would bring health. A few days
before starting she was taken serious
ly i'll and intense suffering lasted for
ten weeks. All that human skill
could do was done for Helen but her
loved ones had to watch the patient
sufferer quietly slip away from them
never to return
She was laid away in Hillside
Gene terry. that beautiful resting place
of our loved ones, on Wednesday Nov.
IL. Funeral services were held at the
home by Rev Studebaker, the sermon
taken from Romans 14-7.
These nearest and dearest to Helen,
who most keenly feel the loss Of her
presence are her father, William
Smith, her aunt, Sarah Smith, two
sisters. Mrs. George. BunEam of Glen
Haven, Mrs Willia" Hatfield Ten
Sleep, Wyoming, and two brothers,
Roland and Arthur. Mourning with
them is hest of friends. for when
Helen made friend she bound them
to her with a cord Of love.
One more dear friend has gone away
has joined her loved ones SOver There
But ahl we know she waits for US
Among the angels bright and fair.
We would not call her back to earth
Back from her home beyond the sky,
But may we ever day by day
Prepare to meet her bye and bye.

and set his tired blood tingling. He
knew that this man was not a forest
man. He was not of his people. His
face bore the stamp of the people to the
south, of civilization. And yet some
thing passed between them, leaped all
barriers and made them friends before
they had spoken. The stranger reach

his. All of the loneliness, the clinging
to hope, the starving desire Of two men
for companionship, passed in the long
grip of their hands.
