Suddenly he stopped, a hundred
yards from the glimmering lights of
the Little Saskatchewan hotel, and
chuckled audibly as he stuffed his
pipe. 1t flashed upon him now why
MacGregor had chosen him instead of
an ordinary service man to bring
down the prisoner from Wekusko.
MacGregor knew that he. Philip
Steele, college man and man of the
world, would reason out the key to
this little puzzle, whereas Sergeant
Moody and others of his type would
turn back for explanations. And In
spector MacGregor, twenty years in
the service, and recognized as the
shrewdest man-hunter between the
coasts, wished to give no explana.

fresh excitement as the tremendous
risk which the inspector himself was
running, dawned upon him. Publicity
of the note which he held in his hand
would mean the disgrace and retire.

He thrust the letter into his pocket
and hurried on. The lights of the
settlement were already agleam

of whip, the yelping response OF
huskies, and moment later a sledge
and six dogs passed him SO close that
he was compelled to leap from theiI
path.
This was LIE Pas-the wilderness,

him, stretched that endless aesola

an indissoluble part of his existence
He would not see her. Even at We
kusko he would be many days jour
new from Lac Balm. But she would
be nearer to him, and it was this
that quickened his pulse.
He was ten minutes early for his
train, and employed that interval in
mingling among the people at the
station. MacGregor had as much as
told him that whatever unusual thing
might develop depended entirely up
on the appearance of the woman, so
he began to look for her. She was
not at the station. Twice he walked
through the coaches of his train
without discovering face that re-
sembled that in the photograph.
1t was late when he arrived at
Etomami, where the sixty mile line
es off to the north. At dawn he en-
tered the caboose of the work train,
which was to take him up through
the wilderness to LIE Pas. He was
the only passenger.
"There amt even a hand-car gone
up ahead of u.s." informed the brake
man in response to his inquiry. "This
is the only train in five days.
After all, it was to be tame af-
fair, in spite of the inspectors un-
easiness and warnings, thought
Philip. The woman was not ahead
Of him. Two days before she had
been in MacGregor's office, and un-
der the circumstances 1t was impos-
sible for her to be at LIE Pas or at
Wekusko, unless she had travelled
steadily on dog sledge. Philip swore
softly to himself in his disappoint-

gang, went to sleep, and awoke when
they plowed their way into the snow

instead of sending 1t to the office

and over again whatever han.
pens!" In spite OF himself little
stir OF excitement crept into his
blood. Since that thrilling hour in
which he had seen Bucky Nome de-
sert from the service he had not felt
himsClf moved as now, and In
moment of mental excitement he
found himself asking question
which few minutes before he would
hsve regarded as a mark OF insanity
Was 1t possible that In the whole
of the Northlund there could be an
other woman as beautiful as Colonel
Rockers wife-a woman so beautiful
that she had turned even Inspector
MacGreEcr's head. as Mrs. Becker
bad turned Buckv Nome's-nnd his?
Was II possible that between these
two wom"n-between this wife of an
attempted murderer and Mrs. Becl,er
there was some connecting link
some association
He cut his thoughts short with
low exclamation of disgust. The alb
surdity or the questions he had asked
himself brought a flush into his face.
Rut he could not destroy the under
current of emotions they had arous-
al Anyway, something was going to
happen. He was sure of that. With
these thoughts there came another
sensation, one that surprised and dis
quoted him. A few days before his
one desire had been to get ont of
the north country, to place as much
distance as possible between himself
ana Lac Balm. Ana now he found
himself visibly affected by the
thought that his duty was to take
him once more in the direction of the
woman whose sweet lace had become

He tore open the departmental en-
velope as he spoke and drew forth q
bit of folded paper. 1t was not the
official letter-he, d, but at a glance
Philip recognized the inspectors
scrawlng writing and his signature
1t was one of MacGregor's boasts
that the man did not live who could
forge his name.
An astonished whistle broke from
his lips as he read these few lines:
Follow your conscience, whatever
you do. Both God and man will re-
ward you in the o"u.
Felix MacGregor."
And this was all. There was no
date, no word of explanation; even
his own name had been omitted from
this second order He picked up the
envelope which had fallen to the
floor and looked at the postmark. 1t
had been stamped four-thirty. 1t was
after five, an hour later, that he had
received his verbal instructions from

The question buzzed in Philips brain

times. as he hurried through the

place He was convinced there was
some hidden motive in the inspectors

CHAPTER vi.
Philip Follows a Pretty Face.

"|T was late in the afternoon
I8I when Philips instructions
A came from the inspector.
l4s9sgJ They were official in form,
gave him all necessary authority, and
ordered him to leave for LIE Pas that
night. Pinned to the order was a
small slip of paper, and on this Mac
Gregor had repeated in writing his
words of few hours before:
Whatever happens; bring back
your prisoner"
There was no signature to this
slip, and the first two words were
heavily underscored. What diu this
double caution mean? Coming from
man like MacGregor, who was as
choice as king of his advice, Philip
knew that 1t was of unusual signifi-
canoe. If 1t was intended as a
warning, why had not the inspector
given him more detail? During the
hour in which he was preparing for
his journey he racked his brain for
some clew to the situation. The task
which he was about to perform
seemed simple enough. A man
named Thorpe had attempted murder
at Wekuske. He was already q
prisoner, and he was to bring him
down. The biggest coward In Sas-
katchewan, or man from a hospital
bed. could do this much. and yet
He read the inspectors words over

- FEW moments later Philip
"a heard the movement of
N:- heavy feet, the opening and
F4lS%Sl closing of a door, and for a
time after that there was silence.
Had MacGregor anticipated this, he
wondered? Was this part of the
program which the inspector had for
seen that he would play? His blood
warmed at the thought and he clench-
ed his fists. Then he began to think
more calmly. His captors had not
relieved him OF his weapons. They
had placed his service cap in the box
with him and had unbuckled his cart
ridge belt so that he would rest more
comfortably. What did all this mean?
For the hundredth time he asked
himself the question.
Returning footsteps interrupted his
thoughts. The cabin door opened,
people entered, again he heard whis-
pering voices
He strained his ears. At first he
could have sworn that he heard the
soft, low tones of a woman's voice,
caught hold of the box, dragged It
across the floor and then he felt him
self lifted bodily, and, after a dozen
steps, placed carefully upon some OBJ
ject in the snow His amazement in
creased when he understood what
was occurring.
He was on sledge. Through the
air-holes in his prison he heard the
scraping of strap-thongs as they were
laced through the runnerslits and
over the box, the restless movement
of dogs, a gaping whine, the angry
snap of pair of jaws. Then, slow
ly, the sledge began to move. A whip
cracked loudly above him, a voice
rose in a loud shout, and the dogs
were urged to a trot. Again there
came to Philips ears the wheeling
notes of the accordion. BY a slight
effort he found that he could turn his
head sufficiently to look through
hole on a level with his eyes In the
side of the box. The sledge had
turned from the dark trail into the
lighted street, and stopped at last be-
fore brilliantly lighted front from
which there issued the sound of
coarse voices, of laughter and half
drunken song.
One of his captors went into the
bar while the other seated himself
on the box, with one leg shutting out
Philips vision by dangling 1t over
the hole through which he was look
ing.
whats up, Fingy?" inquired a
voice.
N"Wekusko." replied the man IN
the box, in the husky, fiesh-smothered
tones of the person who had entered
last into the cabin.

chance to see the team in action fos
Ima1lys4a long month Since OetDber
last the Chinese have been playing
at home, playing a class Of bah that
| is far and away the best ever seen
in the islands, and now, on the eve
of their departure for third tour
of the mainland, the Honolulu AID Club
is promoting monster benefit game
for these Chinese Americans who
spread publicity with baseball bat

be a big drawing card, but with the

out for a worlds series crowd, and
come early if you want place to sit
or even preferred standing room.

game, the Oahus, the strongest team
that is representing this island in the
inter-island tournament, have been
picked. Last Sunday the 0ahus and
Chinese played an to 8, thinning
game, which was called on account
of darkness. 'Nuff said.
The Oahus are about the same or,
ganization that won the Oahu League
pennant last year under the name OF

spots, with new man here, and a
change there, until the team is about
