He turned cheerily to the dog, and
woonga rose slowly and with un-
mistakable stiffness OF limb, and
was fastened in the sledge traces.
They went on through the desolate
gloom of afternoon, which In late
winter is, abve the stxtieth, all but
night. Ahead OF them there seemed
to rise billow upon billow Of snow
mountains It was one chaos OF
white mingllng with another chaos
of white. They went on, hour at-
ter hour until dav gloom thickened
into night and night drifted up
ward to give place to gray dawn,
ploddlng steadily north, resting now
and then. fighting each mile of the
way to the Red porcupine against
the stinging lashos of the Arctic
wind.
And it was DNTar who finally
lifted his mittencd hands to the
leaden chaos of sliv when they came
to the frozen streak that was the
Red Porcupine, and said, in voice
through which there ran a strange
thrill of something deep and mighty.
God in Heaven be praised, this
is the end!"
Five hundred yards down the
stream DeBar stopped in his tracks,
stared for a moment into the break
ing gloom Of the shore, and turned
to Philip. He spoke in voice low
and trembling, as if overcome for
the moment by some strong emo
! ton.
"See-see there" he whispered.

easy and happy like, since years and
years? wonder II It is because |

There's still hope,' replied Philip.
"Hope!" cried DeBar. Its more
than hope, man. It's certainty
for me-the end, mean. Don't you

down close to the other on the
sledge, and spoke as IL he had
known him for years. ITS got to

nearer, until they sat shoulder to

A flash of joy ST. into DeBar's
eyes.
Then that'll be the other end,
he said more softly still. He pointed
to the big Mackenzie hound. 81
said he was next to my best friend
on earth, Phil. The other-is a
girl-who lived back there-wher
it happened, years and years ago
She's thirty now, and she's stuck tc

end, Phil, 80 you see why I'm happy.
There's sure to be an end of it for
me-soon."
He bowed his wild, unshorn head
in his mittened hands, and for
time there was silence between them.
Philip broke it, almost in a
whisper.
"Why don't you kill me-here-
now-while I'm sitting helpless be-
side you, and you've knife in your
belt?"
DeBar lifted his head slowly and
looked with establishment into his
companions face.
"I'm not murderer!" he said.
But you've killed other men,"
persisted Philip.
Three, besides those we hung,
replied DeBar calmly. "One at
Moose Factory, when l tried to help
John, and the other two up here
They were like you-hunting me
down, and / killed 'em in fair fight
Was that murder? Should l stand

He rose without waiting for ar
answer and felt of the clothes be-

You're cold" he said.

You're cold" he said.
"1'm freezing to DEATH" said
Philip.
"And I'm-starving."
DeBar rose to his feet. Philip
drew himself together, as II ex-
pecting an attack, but in place Of
1t DeBar held out a warmly nit
tened hand
you've got to get those clothes
off-quick-or you'll die" he said.
"Here!"
Mechanically Philip reached up his
hand, and DeBar took him TO his
sledge behind the fire and wrapped
about him a thick blanket. Then
he drew out a sheath knife and
ripped the frozen legs of his trons-
ers up and the sleeves Of his coat
down. cut the string Of his shoe
packs and slit his heavy German
socks, and after that he rubbed his
feet and iegs and arms until Ph''tp
began to feel sting like the prickly
bite of nettles.
Ten minutes more and you'd
been gene" said DeBar
He wrapped second blanket
around Philip, and dragged the
sledge on which he was lying still
nearer to the fire. Then he throw
on fresh armful of, dry sticks an:l
from a pocket of his coat drew fortn
something small and rcd and frozen
which was the carcass Of bird
about the size of a robin. DeBar
held it up between his forefinger
and thumb. and looking at Philip
the flash of smile passed for an
instant over his firizzled face.
Dinner" he said, and Philip
could not fail to catch the low chuck

cried angrily. Don't take me for

He spoke the words half taunt-
ingly. and as soon regretted them,
for In voice that betrayed no
