ne had lived on Firepan Greek. 1t was
incredible that he should not know of the
girl. He had made up his mind that he
would show lavish the picture, keeping
to himself the manner in which he had
come into possession of it.
A dozen things Father Roland spoke
about that night before he brought up
lavish.
"Fear-a great fear-his life is haunted
by it," he said.
"A coward? don't know. have seen
him jump at the snap of twig. l have
seen him tremble at nothing at ALL
have seen him shrink at darkness, and
again-he came through terrible
darkness to reach my cabin that night.
Mad? No, he is not that. 1t is hard to-
believe he is coward. Would coward
live alone, as he does? That seems I'M
possible, too. And yet, he is afraid
The missioner was silent for some mo-
ments. Then he said refectively:
u have seen strange things. l have
had many penitents. My ears have heard
much that you would not believe. 1t has
all come in my long days work in the
wilderness. But never, never have / seen
fight like this that is being made by
Tavish-a fight against that mysterious
fear of which he will not speak. have
pieced little things together, and that
night-when terror drove him to my
cabin-he betrayed himself and learned
one thing. He is afraid of woman
"A woman!' gasped David.
Yes, a woman-a woman who lives, or
lived, up in that Stikine River country
you mentioned to-day
David's heart stirred strangely.
"The Stikine River, or-or-F -Firepan
Creek?" he asked.
1t seemed long time to him before
Father Roland answered He was think
ing deeply, with his eyes half closed, as if
gotten.
"Yes-it was on the Firepan. l am
sure of it, he said slowly. "He was sick
smallpox, as told you-and it was on
the Firepan. remember that. And
whoever the woman was, she was there.
A woman! And he-afraid! Afraid even
now, with her a thousand miles away, if
she lives. Can you account for it? II
have my own conviction. 1t is terrible. >
He spoke in low voice.
"And that conviction, Father?r David
barely whispered.
@Tavish is afraid of some one who is
dead.'
"Dead!"
"Yes, woman or girl = who is
dead; dead in the flesh, but living in the
spirit to haunt him. 1t is that. l |
know it
"A girl-who is dead-on Firepan
Creek. Her spirit"
A cold, invisible hand was clutching at |
David's throat. Shadows hid his face, or |
Father Roland would have seen. His |
voice was strained.
"Yes, her spirit, came the missioner's
answer. at haunts lavish. 1t is with him
always And he is afraid of it!'
DAVID rose slowly to his feet and went
toward the door, slipping on his coat
and cap. IL am going to whistle for
Baree,' he said, and went out
The white world was brilliant under the
glow of full moon and billion stars.

kieu SO Iur1ousiy. In the forest there was
gathering gray, silent gloom. They
halted again in the edge of that gloom.
"How are your legs?" the little mis-
sioner asked. at is still good mile to
the shack"
Il am going to make it or Drop" de-
clared David.
He wanted to ask question: it had
been in his mind for some time. Casually
he inquired:
"How far is it to Tavish's, mon perez
"Four days, said the missioner. -Four
days, if we make good time, and another
week from there to Gods Lake. / have
paid lavish visit in five days, and once
lavish made Gods Lake in two days and
night with seven dogs. Two days and
night! Through darkness he came
darkness and storm. That is what fear
will do, David. Fear drove him. have
promised to tell you about it tonight.
You must know, to understand him.
He is strange mana very strange
mani"
He spoke to Mukoki in Cree, and the
Indian responded with sharp command
to the dogs The huskies sprang from
their bellies and strained forward in their
traces. The Cree picked his way slowly
ahead of them. Father Roland dropped
in behind him. Again David followed the
sledge. He was struck with wonder at
the suddenness with which the sun had
gone out. In the thick forest it was like
the beginning of night. From behind
them came cry. 1t was Baree.
THEY went on, circling around the edge
of great windfall. Then, suddenly,
they came out of the thick gloom of the
forest into the twilight gray of clearing.
Twenty PAGES from them was a cabin.
The dogs stopped. Father Roland FUN
bled at his big silver watch, and held it
close up to his eyes.
Half past four, he said. "Fairly good
time for beginner, David!'
He broke into whistle. 1t was cheer
full. The dogs were whining and swapping
like joyous puppies as Mukoki unfastened
them. There was great contentment in
the air. David could not understand it.
Seems good to be on the trail again,
David, said the little missioner.
That was 1.-THE trail! This was the
end of a days achievement. David looked
at the cabin, dark and unlighted in the
open, with its big white cap of snow. 1t
looked friendly, for all it's darkness. He
was filed, suddenly, with the desire to
become partner in the activities of Mu-
koki and the missioner. He kicked off his
snowshoes, and went with Mukoki to the
door of the cabin. When they entered he
could make out things indistinctly-a
stove at first, stool, a box, a small table,
and bunk against the wall.
Mukoki was rafting the lids of the
stove when Father Roland entered with
his arms filed. He dropped his load on
the floor, and David went back to the
sledge with him. By the time they had
brought its burden into the cabin fire
was roaring in the stove, and Mukoki had
hung a lighted lantern over the table,
Then Father Roland seized an AK, tested
its keen edge with his thumb, and said to
David: Let's go cut our beds before it's
too dark Cut their beds! David caught
up a second ak and followed Father
Roland.
Young balsams, twice as tall as man,
were growing about the cabin, and from
these Father Roland began stripping the

swept through MIN, setting his teeth hard,
filling him again with grim determine
ton. For the second time that day. his
fighting blood rose. Father Roland,
glancing back in benignant solicitude, saw
the new glow in Davids eyes. He saw
also his parted lips and the quickness of
his breath. With sharp command he
stopped Mukoki and the dogs.
Half mile at time is enough for
beginner he said to David "Kick off
your shoes and ride the next half mile.
David shook his head.
$50 on" he said tersely, saving his
wind "Im just finding myself"
His snowshoes were growing heavier
and heavier, and back of his knees the
tendons seemed ready to snap. He kept
on, however, at last counting his steps,
He was determined to make mile. He
was ready to groan when a sudden twist
in the trail brought them out of the forest
to the edge Of a lake whose frozen surface
stretched ahead of them for miles. Mu-
koki stopped the dogs. With gasp,
David fioundered to the sledge
"You've beat me, David exulted
Father Roland. "The first time | had
on snowshoes didn't make one half that
distance before l was tangled up like
fish in netl' He turned to Mukoki
"Meyoo iss chikdo!" he cried "Remem-
ber?' And the Indians leathery face
broke into grin.
David felt new pleasure at their ap-
probation. He had evidently done well,
exceedingly well. And he had been afraid
of himself!
AS they set off across the lake, David
found his first opportunity to see the
real northland in action-the clean, sinu-
GUS movement of the men ahead of him,
the splendid eagerness with which the long,
wolfsh line of beasts stretched forward in
their traces and followed in the snowshoe
trail. Under him the broad steel runners
Of the sledge made cold, creaking sound
as they slipped over the snow that lay
only four or five inches deep on the ice
of the lake. He heard the swift tap, tap,
tap of the dogs feet, their painting breath
that was almost like laughter, low throat
whines, and the steady swish of the snow
shoes ahead.
Beyond those sounds vast silence en-
compassed him. He looked out into it,
east and west to the dark rims of forest,
north and south over the distance of that
diamond-sprinkled tundra of unbroken
white. He drew out his pipe, loaded it
with tobacco, and began to smoke. The
bitterness of the weed was gone; it was
delicious. He puffed luxuriously.
AND then, suddenly, as he looked at the
purplish bulwarks of the forests, his
mind swept back. For the first time since
that night many months ago, he thought
without red-hot fire in his brain of the
woman who had been his wife. He thought
of her coolly. This new world was already
giving back to him power of analysis,
of perspective, healthier conception of
truths and measurements.
A sharp cry from Father Roland startled
him. The dogs halted suddenly. The
creaking of the sedge-runners ceased.
Father Roland had turned his face
down the lake, and was pointing.
"Look!" he cried.
David jumped from the sledge and
stared back over their trail. Far back
probably half a mile--he saw dark OBJ
ject travelling slowly toward them. 1t
stopped, motionless as dark rock.

Freedom For Commerce
"A Comparison Of Conditions That Underle the Trade
Rivalry of the Leading Nations
BY JAMES DAVENPORT WHELPLEY
Autho

Much has been said recently about
the commercial advantage that will
accrue to America from not having
been at war. 1t Is assumed that IN
consequence of continued neutrality
America will be fully equipped and
able to step in and take the trade OF
her erstwhile rivals because of their
war-weakened condition. To expect
any such course of events is abysmal
folly and to indulge therein Is to rob
ourselves of what real advantage can
accrue II we make our deductions with
clearer vision. Certain slight temper
airy advantages may be made appar-
ent, but these advantages will be
slight and few of them permanent.
At the beginning of the war the
three greatest trading nations in the
world were the English, German and
American. The English had built up
their great trade after several centllr-
les Of foreign adventure of which the
British Empire is the result. creating
a foreign trade SO great that the prices
of many of the worlds staple products,
few Of which were produced in Great
Britain were fixed in London. It was
a trade built upon solid foundations;
no subsidies, no government assist
ance other than diplomacy, no prefer
,ential rates and even little or no CO
operation among British traders.
The Germans had reached point
where they challenged the Americans
for second place. They had accomplish
ed this in practically twenty-five years
by the most wonderful exhibition of
team work between the government,
finance, science and industry the world
has ever seen. Natural advantages
were fostered and utilized to the ut
most Great natural disadvantages
we're overcome by artificial means I'M
til they were almost forgotten by Ger
mans, as well as others, and Germany
was rated as fully equipped and pow
erful bidder for first place in the trade
of the world.
Americans achieved their place in
foreign commerce by sheer weight of
natural advantage in the production Of

rHE ELECTRIC MOTOR.

When electric power is fed to mo-
tor. part OF it goes through the field
coils to create a magnetic field. The
rest of it goes into the armature coils
where it creates an armature field.
The relationship between these two
fields is such that the armature coils
are repealed by the lines Of force Gre
ated by the field coils. The effort on
the part Of an armature coil to get
away from the place where it is repet
led. causes the armature to turn
slightly. until that particular arma-
ture coil is beyond the influence OF the
repelling lines Of magnetic force in
