CHAPTER XIV.
SandY's Method.

McTrigger dropped on his knees In
the sand. The look Of exultatiOn was
gone from his face. He twisted the
collar about the dogs limp neck until
he came TO the worn plate, on which he
could make out the family engraved
letters K-a-z-a-n. He spelled the let
tiers out one by one, and the look In his
face was Of one who still dlsbelieved
what he had seen and heard.
"A dog" he exclaimed again. "A
dog. Sandy McTrigger an IA
beauty"
He rose to his feet and looked down
on his victim. A pool Of blood lay In
the white sand at the end Of Kazan's
nose. After a moment Sandy bent over
to see where his bullet had struck. His
inspection filed him with a new and
greater interest. The heavy ball from
the muzzle-lOader had struck Kazan
fairly on top Of the head. It was q
glancing blow that had not even broken
the skull, and like q fash Sandy I'M
derstoOd the Quivering and twitchlng
Of Kazan's shoulders and legs. He
had thought that they were the last
muscular thrOes of death. But Kazan
was not dying. He was only stunned,
and would be on his feet again In few
minutes.

CHAPTER XIV.


\ Shot on the Sand Bar.
July and August Of 1911 were months
u great fires In the Northland. The
swamp home Of Kazan and Gray Wolf,
end the green valley between the two
ridges, had escaped the seas Of devas'
tating flame; but now. as they set forth
On their wandering adventures again, II
was not long before their padded feet
came In contact with the scared and
blackened desolation. Kazan led bis
blind mate flrst into the south. Twenty
miles beyond the ridge they struck the
nre-killed forests. Winds from Hud-
CONS bay had driven the flames in an
pnbroken sea into the west, and they
had left not q vestige Of life or q patch
Of green. Blind Gray Wolf could not
zee the blackened world, but she sensed
4.
All Of her wonderful instincts, sharp
ened and developed by her blindness,
told her that to the n0rth-and not
0outh-lay the huntlng-grounds they
were seeking. The strain Of dog that
was In Kazan still pulled him south. 1t
was not because he sought man. 1t was
simply dog instinct to travel south
ward; In the face Of fire II was wolf
instinct to travel northward. At the
end Of the third day Gray Wolf won.
They recrossed the little valley be-
tween the two ridges, and swung north
and west into the Athabasca country,
striking q course that would ultimately
bring them to the headwaters Of the
NcFarlane river.
Late IL the preceding autumn pros
pector had come up to Fort Smith, on
the Slave river, with a pickle bottle
filled with gold dust and nuggets. he
had made the ind on the McFarlane.
The FIRST mails had taken the news to
the outside world, and by midwinter
the earliest members Of a treasure
hunting horde were rushing into the
country by snow-shoes and dog-Sledge.
Other finds came thick and fast. The
NcFaElane was rich In free gold, and
miners BY the score staked out their
claims along II and began work. Late
corners swung to new fields farther
north and east, and to Fort Smith came
rumors Of "Hnds" richer than those Of
the Yukon. A score Of men at first

Most Of these were from the prairie
countries to the south, and from the

or a wolf could be lured to the point OF
touching a bait. II followed that the
bait was eaten. Sandy went on to the
fourth and the fifth baits. They were
untouched. The sixth was torn to
pieces, like the third. In this instance
the capsule was broken and the white
powder scattered. Two more poison
bats Sandy found pulled down in this
manner. He knew that Kazan and Gray
Wolf had done the work. for he found
the marks OF their feet In dozen diff.
ferent places. The accumulated bad
humOr OF weeks Of futile labor found
vent In his disappointment and anger.
At last he had found something tangible
to curse. The failure Of his poison
bats he accepted as a sort Of climax
to his general bad luck. Everything
was against him, he believed, and he
made up his mind to return to Red
Gold City. Early In the afternoon he
launched his canoe and drifted down
stream with the current. He was con-
tent to let the current do all Of the
work today, and he used his paddle
Just enough to keep his slender craft
head on. He leaned back comfortably
and smoked his pipe, with the old rife
between his knees. The wind was In
his face and he kept sharp watch for
game.
II was late In the afternoon when
Kazan and Gray Wolf came out on q
sand bar five or six miles downstream.
KaEan was tapping up the cool water
when Sandy drlfted quietly around q
bend a hundred yards above them. II
the wind had been right, or II Sandy
had been using his paddle, Gray Wolf
would have detected danger. It was
the metallic clIck-click Of the Old-fash.
Toned lock Of Sandy's rifle that pwak-
ened her to u sense Of peril. Instantly
she was thrilled by the nearness Of II.
Kazan heard the sound and stopped
drinking 10 face II. In that moment
Sandy pressed the trigger. A belch Of
smoke, a roar Of gunpOwder. and Ka-
zan felt q red-hot stream Of fire pass
with the swlftness Of lightning flash
through his brain. He stumbled back,
his legs gave way under him, and he
crumpled down In a limp heap. Gray
Wolf darted like streak of into the
bush. Blind. she had not seen Kazan
wilt down upon the white sand. Not
until she was q quarter Of mile away
from the terrifying thunder Of the
white nuns rife did she stop and walt
for him.
Sandy McTrigger grounded his canoe
ON the sand bar with an exultant yell.
"Got you. you old devil, didn't II" he
cried. I'D a got the other, too, II To
a. had something besides this damned
old relicw
He turned Kazan's head over with
the butt Of his gun, and the leer Of sat
in his face gave place to
sudden look Of amazement. For the
first time he saw the collar about Ka-
Ean's neck.
MY Gawd, 1t amt a wolf," he
gasped.. Its a dog, Sandy McTrigger

tors that had ever followed the shores
Of the KlOndIke. He had made discOv-
cries running up TO million or two
and had promptly lost them through
gambling and drink. He had no con-
science, and little fear. Brutality was
the chief thing written In his face. His
understood jaw, his wide eyes, low fore
head and grizzly mop Of red hair pro-
claimed him at once as a man not to
be trusted beyond ones own vision or
the reach Of a bullet. 1t was suspected
that he had killed couple OF men, and
robbed others, but as yet the police had
failed to get anything ION" him. But
along with this bad side Of him, Sandy
McTrigger possessed GOODNESS and u
courage which even his worst enemies
could not but admire, and also certain
mental depths which his unpleasant
features did not proclaim.
Inside Of six months Red Gold City
had sprung up on the McFarlane, q
hundred and fifty miles from Fort
Smith, and Fort Smith was FIVE hun.
dred miles from civilization. When
Sandy came he looked over the crude
collection Of shacks, gambling houses
and saloons in the new town, and made
up his mind that the time was not ripe
for any of his ''lnslde" schemes just
yet. He gambled little, and won SUI.

klaw & Erlanger's
"Ben Hur" at Columbia

Spectacular magnifcence, dramatic
splendor and religious ecstacy are the
most notable concomitants of Klaw
& Erlangers massive production of
"Ben Hur," which will be the Offering
at the Columbia Theatre, Columbia,
S. c., on October 26-27.
During the II years which have
passed since the original production
of this noble drama, its owners have
not only kept it up to it's original
grandeur but have elaborated and de-
veloped the possibilities of the pro-
duction each season until today it
stands unrivaled in beauty of estab.
lishment, unsurpassed in dramatic sig
nificance and power.
Dealing with the earthly life of
Jesus, the most important period in
history, "Ben Hur" shows the world
at its most wonderful point in mag
nificence ana wealth, for Rome ruled
the world and Caesar Augustus was
emperor Of the mightiest realm the
earth had known. Into this time of
display and pomp came the lowly
Nazarene, the Christ for whom the
nation had longed, and it is this per-
sonClity of Jesus that, permeating
the fabric of the Wallace Young
drama, makes it sermon as we'll as
drama of tremendous significance.
The chariot race will be the most
effective reality ever seen in a thea
ter, either in this country or abroad.
Its development into an actuality NAV
be considered the triumpe of stage
craft. In this incident twenty horses
and five chariots will be shown ap-
parently racing at break-neck speed,
the animals galloping with all their
might. Every vital described by Cen
eral Wallace in his book will be seen
when the play is presented in Co.
lumbia.
This will be the greatest repre-
sentation of "Ben Hur" ever given
on tour. To present the marvellous
spectacle no less than $50 people are
required. A special popular feature
of this engagement will be the pop
ular scale of prices, ranging from
SO cents to $500.
Patrons of "Ben Hur" are earnest
ly requested by the management to
be in their seats promptly at eight
o'clock in tie evening and two O'Clock
in the afternoon, as the curtain will
rise promptly at these hours on the
marvelously beautiful tableau, "The
Star of Bethlehem" which requires
the entire auditorium to be darkened
and it will be impossible to seat
late-comers until after the prelude is
over.
A matinees will be given Saturday.
Mail orders, when accompanied by
remittance with an enclosed self
addressed stamped envelope for re-
turn, will be filled on receipt. 2-3

There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its very

if not remedied causes the hair root;

cation your hair will take on that life,
lustre and luXurance which is so
beautiful. 1t will become wavy and
