which no smother of sound escaped,
and three or four minutes later,
when the second man came through
the door, he found his comrade fiat

the shining muzzles of two short
and murderous- looking revolvers
leveled at his breast He was a
swarthy breed, scarcely larger than
the doctor himself, and his only re-
monstrance as his hands were fast
ened behind his back was a brief
outburst of very bad and very ex-

stopped with a threatening flourish
of his gun.

will follow us to Fort Smith to tes-

1t was evident that the half-breed
did not understand, and the doctor
added few explanatory words in
French The man on the floor
groaned. and struggled until he was
red in the face.

''He said that he would camp

after he had described the capture
and the Doctors departure. "The

Philip shrugged mis- shoulders, and
the two had little to say as they ate
their dinners. After an hours rest
he prepared light pack and took
up the doctors trail, Inwardly he
ranked at the unusual hand which
the little professor wns playing In
leaving Pierre's cabin with the pris-
oners, and yet he was confident that
McGill would wait for him. Mile

creek At dusk there was no sign

he climbed dead stub at the sum-
NIT of high ridge and half dozen
miles of the unbroken barren stretch
ed out before his eyes At six o'clock
he stopped to cook some tea and
warm his meat and bannock. After
that he travelled until ten, then built
big fire and gave up the pursuit
until morning. At dawn he started
again, and not until the forenoon
was half gone did he find where the
doctor had stopped to camp.
The ashes of his fire were still
warm beneath and the snow was
trampled hard around them. In the
north the clouds were piiing up,
betokening a storm such as it was

not well for a man in Philips CON-
dition of fatigue to face. Already
some flavor of the approaching bliz-
zard was carried to him on the wind.
; So he hurried on. Fortunately
the storm died away after an hour
or two Of fierce wind. Still he did
not come up with McGill and he
camped again for the night cursing
the little professor who was racing
on ahead of him.
1t was noon of the following day
when he came in sight of the few
log cabins at Fort Smith, situated
in treeless and snow-smothered
sweep of the plain on the other side
Of the Slave. He crossed the river
and hurried past the row of buildings
that led to post headquarters. In
front of the company office were
gathered little crowd OF men, wo-
men and children. He pushed his
way through and stopped at the bot
tom of the three log steps which
led up to the door.
At the top was Professor McGill,
coming out. His pace was a puzzle.
His eyes had In them stony stare
as he gazed down at Philip. Then
he descended slowly, like one NOV
ing In dream.
Good Heavens" he said huskily,
and only for Philips ears, "do you
know what I've done, Phil?"
"What?" demanded Philip.
The, doctor came down to the last
step.
"Phil," he whispered, that fellow

That same afternoon Corporal Dob

in quest of Falkner, and this time
( they were accompanied by Pierr,
Thoreau, who learned for the frs
time what had happened in his ca
bin. The doctor disappeared fol
