Thornton rose and stretched out a
hand.
1T can't be too hard for me-" he
said Il wish
He stopped, and something in his low
voice made Jan look straight into his
eyes. Then he turned to his pack
upon the sledge.
"Tve got meat and coffee and hard
biscuits" he said. "Will you have
breakfast with me?"
1t was early afternoon of the fourth
day later when Jan and Thornton
reached Prince Albert.
I'VE will go to the offices of the great
company" said Jan. I'VE will lose no
time"
1t was Thornton now who guided
him to the century old building at the
west edge of the town. 1t was Thorn
ton who led him into an office filled
mostly with young women, who were
laboring at clicking machines. aud 1t
was Thornton who presented square
bit of white card to gray haired man
at desk. who. after reading it, rose
from his chair, bowed and shook hands
with him. And few moments later

passed through it, his heart Quiyering.

clutching at the papers in his breast

Outside Thornton waited An hour
passed and still the door did not re-
open. The man at the desk glanced
curiously at Thornton. Two girls at
typewriters exchanged whispered opin-
ions as to who might he this wild look

still patient. rose as the door opened.
His eyes first encountered the staring
| face of the subcommissioner. Then
Jan came out. He had aged five years
in two hours. There was tired stoop
to his shoulders, strange pallor in his
cheeks. To Thornton his thin face
seemed to have grown thinner. With
bowed head, looking nowhere but
ahead of him, Jan passed on, and as
the last door opened to let them out
into the pale winter sun Thornton
heard the muffied sobbing of his
breath. His fingers gripped JAMS arm
His eyes were blazing.

"Thanks, m'sieur," struggled Jan,
striving to keep lump out Of his
throat. "It's nothing like that. / don't
need money. Half a million would Just
about buy what I've given away up
there"
He clutched his hand for an instant
to the empty pocket where the papers
had been.
That night. leaving Thornton still at
supper in the little old Windsor hotel,
Jan slipped away and. with Kazan at
his heels, crossed the frozen Saskatch-
evan to the spruce forest on the north
shore. He wanted to be alone to think,
to fight with himself against desire
which was almost overpowering him.
Once. long ago. he had laid his soul
bare to Jean de Gravois, and Jean had
given him comfort. Tonight he longed
to go to Thornton as he had gone to
Jean and to tell him the same story
and what had passed that day In the
office of the subcommissioner. In his
heart there had grown something for
Thornton that was stronger than friend
ship-something that would have made
him fight for him and die for him as
he would have fought and died for
Jean de Gravols. 1t was feeling ce-
mented by belief that something was
troubling Thornton; that he. too, was
filed with a loneliness and a grief
which he was trying to conceal. And
yet he fought to restrain himself from
! confiding In his new friend. 1t would
do no good, he knew, except by reliev-
ing him of part of his mental burden.
A week--it might be ten days, the
subcommlssioner had told him-and 1t
would be cover, Lights were out, and
people were in bed when he and Kazan
returned to the hotel, but Thornton was
uu. sitting by himself in the gloom, as
Jar had first seen him at lie Pas. Jan
sat down beside him. There was an
uneasy tremor in Thornton's voice
when he said:
"Jan, did you ever love woman
love nef uutll yOu WSIS tSaoJ anu "hA
ing to die for herr"
The suddelness of the question wrung
the truth from Jams lips in low, chok-
ing voice. For an Instant he thought
that Thornton must have guessed his
secret.
"Yes, m'sieur."
Thornton leaned toward him, grip
ping his knees. and the misery In his
face was deeper than Jan had ever
seen 1t before.
Il love woman-like that" he went
on tensely. "A giel-not woman. and

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 ne
would take them TO the great company
1t 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 III civilization
That would be best-for him. He
would fight against the call of lis for
ests as years and years ago he had
fought against that call of the other
world that had filed him with unrest
for 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
Ian's arm. 1t was ten years ago that
Ian had taken KaZan. little half
blind puppy that he and Melisse had
'hosen from litter of half 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 tightened his arm
about the dogs head. Exhaustion
Ind the warmth of the fire made him
lrowsy, and after a time he slept,
with his head thrown back against the
| .ree.
Something awoke him hours >after-
ward. He opened his eyes and found
that the fire was still burning bright
ly. 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 1t was just before the gray
hreak of dawn. He sat upright.
Thornton laughed softly at him and
puffed out clouds Of smoke from his
lpipe.
"You were freezing" he said as Jan
stared, "and sleeping like dead man.

He hesltated and knocked the ash
from his pipe bowl Then he looked
frankly and squarely at Jan. "See

Thornton nodded.
"And 1t is morning" exclaimed Jan

tops. "You are kind, m'sieur. I wlsl
