woods. Happy laundering behind him.
Crafty Pierre was trying to draw
Happy away from Mulligan's.
Happy pursued him like a mad bull,
stabbing at him with the long knife.
Pierre saw that he must act decisive
ly. He turned suddenly, lodged the
knife, and sent Happy sprawling with
q blow on the point Of the chin.
Happy gasped and went down like
pole-axed OK. Pierre, approaching
cautiously. disarmed him. Then he
saw that blood was pouring from
Happy's throat.
The blow was enough to kill a
man, and Pierre had put all his force
into 1t. He must have ruptured an
artery, for Happy was bleeding to
death. His eyes closed; his head
fell back. He breathed stertorously.
Pierre tried to recall him to con-
sciousness but in vain. Then, bind
ing handkerchief tightly round his
enemy's throat, he took Happy upon
his back.
The nearest doctor lived fifteen
miles away, and Pierre started on
the tramp along the trail. It was
ten o'clock in the evening and twenty
degrees below zero. It might reach
forty below by midnight, for the
thermometer was falling rapidly and
there was that peculiar stiffness in
the air which indicates the approach
of intense cold.
For the first mile Pierre made
light of his burden, but soon he was
staggering painfully through the
snow. Presently he felt well-known
sensation in his right foot 1t felt
as though it were prop that did
not belong to him.
Pierre set down his burden and
glanced at it. Happy was still alive.
Pierre rubbed his foot until the cir
culation started; then he chafed
Happy's hands, which were as cold
as the snow. The fingers dropped
stifiy, like wooden prongs. He took
Happy upon his back again.
The trees cracked with tho frost,
the stars cleaned icily. Mile after
mile Pierre reeled of. Now he no
longer stopped to chafe his limbs, for
he knew that unless he reached the
doctors speedily he would be a muir
derer. Perhaps he was one already.
He had acted in self-defense. but still,
he had killed Happy, or all but killed
him.
He trudged on mechanically, only
his will sustaining him. He felt the
burden no longer, for the ache in his
back had bsoorne part of universal
