 He carried it back to camp meaning to consult the guide, but second thought held his tongue It was not likely that the Indian had overlooked an object conspicuous the trail.
 So Alan waited for him to speak-and meantime determined to watch Jacob more narrowly. though other suspicious circumstance had marked the several days of their association.
 The first half of the night was, as the day de- voted to relentless progress southwards: thirty minutes of steady jogging. five minutes for rest and repeat.
 No question to the need for such urgent haste; overhead the north wind muttered without ceasng; thin veils of smoke drifted through the forest hugging the ground, like some weird acrid mist; and ever the curtained heavens glared livid with reflected fires.
 By midnight Alan had come to the bounds of en- durance; flesh, bone and sinew could no longer stand that strain Though Jacob declared that Spirit Lake only six hours distant, far as concerned Alan he might have said six hundred. His blanket once unrolled, Alan dropped upon it like one drugged.
 The sun was high when he awakened and sat up, rubbing heavy eyes, stretching aching limbs, won dering what had come over the Indian to let him sleep so late.
 Of a sudden he was assaled by sickening fears that needed only the briefest investigation to con- firm. Jacob had absconded with every valuable item of their equipment
 Nor was his motive far to seek Overnight the fire had made tremendous gains And ever and anon the wind would bring down the roar of the holocaust dulled by distance but not unlike the growing of wild animals feeding on their kill.
 Alan delayed long enough only to swallow few mouthfuls of raw food, gulped water from a spring, and set out at dogtrot the trail to Spirit Lake

 At length, panting, gasping half-blinded he staggered into little natural clearing and plunged forward headong, so bewildered that he could not even as he stumbled heavy body landed on his back and crushed him savagely to earth.
 In less than minute he was overcome; his wrists hitched together, his ankles bound with heavy cord.
 When his vision e i3ared he found Jacob within a yard regarding him with face as immobe as though it had been cast in the bronze it resembled
 Beyond to one side a woman in a mans hunting costume stood eyeing the captive as narrowly as the Indian but unlike him with countenance that seemed aglow with a fierce exutancy over his downfall.
 But for that look he could have believed hers the face that had brought him overseas this mortal pass. Feature for feature, even to the hue of her tumbled hair, she counterfeited the woman he loved; only those eyes, afame with their look of inhuman ruthlessness, denied that the two were one.

ITI.THE TRAIL OF TREACnERY.

But young Mir Law sole agent of his own evanishment; just he nobodys fool, least of all his own. The hidden meaning of the trey Of hearts perplexed him with such distrust that before leaving London he dispatched code cablegram to his confidential agent in New York.
 "What do you know about the trey of hearts? Answer immediately"
 The answer forestalled his arrival in Liverpool:
 "Trine's death sign for your father. For Gods cake, look to yourself and keep away from Amer ica"
 But Alan had more than once visited America incognito and unknown to Seneca Trine via a secret ropte of his own selection.

 Crossing the St. Lawrence by night, the two struck off quietly into the hinterland of the Notre Dame range, then crossed the Maine border C.
 On the second thereafter, trailworn and weary as lean as their depleted packs, the two paused on ridgepole of the wilderness up back of the Alagash country, and made their midday meal in a silence which, if normal in the Indian, was one of deep misgivings on Alan's part.
 Continually his gaze questioned the northern skies that lowered portentiously, foul with smoke-a countrywide confagration that threatened all northern Maine, bone-dry with drought.
 Only the south offered fas prospect. And the fires were mixing southward far faster than man might hope to travel through that grim and stub born land.
 Even as he stared, Alan saw fresh columns of 0un-colored smoke spring up in the northwest
 Anxiously he consulted the impasslve mask or the Indian, from whom his questions gained Alan little comfort Jacob recommended forced marches to Snirit Lake where canoes might be found to aid their flight; and withdrew into sullen reserve.

They travelled far and fast by dim forest trails before sundown then again paused for food and rest. And Jacob sat deftly about preparing the meal, Alan stumbled of to whip the little traisids stream for trout.
 Perhaps hundred yards upstream, the back-lash of careless cast by his weary hand hooked the State of Maine.

 An accent of profound satisfaction informed his voice, The girl waited in silence that tensely expectant.

 The girl laughed briefly: "Only ask if"
 "-,nd how far would you go to do my will?'
 "V-here would you stop in the service of one you ,:5od?"

While in the council Mr.. LaVanway
served for two years as chairman of a
finance committee, one of the highest
positions in that body. He fathered
and finally secured the passage of the
ordinance which requires the Tri-City
Railway company to sprinkle the
streets in the business district with
out cost TO the tax payers.
Before coming to Rock Island Mr..
LaNanway engaged in the real estate
business in Fort Wayne, Ind. and later
at Chicago. After coming here he
