Jean Minguy's heart was beating
fast as he came within sight Of old
Baptiste's cabin on the Peace river

had been engaged eight months, ever
since Jeans last visit to the cabin in
the early fall.
Now he had amassed a pile OF rich
furs, which he would exchange for
gold in plenty at the trading store But
first he must see Nanette and get her
to fix the wedding day.
He had left his furs in his cabin and
had ridden 200 miles to see her; and
he had ridden so eagerly that he had
not even turned the dozen miles out of
his course that were necessary for
him to meet his old friend, Pierre Du-
four.
Old Baptiste came to the door and
laid hand upon his horses bride.

quavered. He was very old and al
ready in his dotage.
Where is she?" demanded Jean,
feeling his heart hammering within
his breast.
Haven't you heard?" cried the old
man. "She left here with Dufour this
morning"

eyes. Pierre Dufour! The two men
had been friends for many a year, an
Jean had known that Pierre was in
love with Nanette. But the girl had
plighted herself to him, and he had
hardly thought Of Dufour in the &c.
stasy of his happy anticipations.
He had been so proud of her, his
beautiful bride-to-be, with her dark
hair and eyes. One more season in
the north, and then, If luck was with
him, he had intended to take her south
to civilization, and the perils and
hardships of the wilds would be things
Of the past.

sharply.

had betrayed him.
Dufours cabin lay at the junction

some IL miles of the route along
which he had come. There was his

There they must fight 1t out face to

to the death.
If Dufour had won the girl fairly
Jean would have acquiesced. But Nan

long, and Dufour had know 1t, and he
had stolen her. Jean could under

hoped to break. did the allies ID
