Holy Cross"
Larry left his team at Gibbon, re-
turning the next morning on Orr's
stage. The first person he met upon
reaching Fairbanks, as he was the last
with whom he had spoken before leay-
fened as he saw him. He could not
forget their talk, talk that had turned
the first glimmer of happiness that he
had seen for years into black rage and
despair. He would have passed with
curt nod but that he saw Ellen stand
ing near her brother. His hea. missed
beat as he caught sight of her her
arms filed with tamarack, her gay cap
and blanket coat making spot of bril-
liant color against the grayness of the
coming night. She nodded gayly and
called to him that she was keeping
open house New Years day and he
must come and help decorate the
rooms.
Dan wheeled about and looked at
her with a heavy frown. Larry
thanked her, but said he had an en-
gagement.
Break it, she commanded with a
laugh. "All the world, including the
butcher, the baker and the candlestick
maker, are coming, and there will be
no place else for you to go, so come
you must"
All through New Years day and eve
ming Ellen watched and waited. Then
he came, so late that her heart had
grown chill with fear. As he made his
way toward her he was stopped by II
newcomer. Ellen could not help but
oVerhear their conversation.
"Where is Tim? l heard he was with
YOU" said the newcomer.
Larry hesitated. HE was. for n
time" His eyes rested upon Dan, who
was standing near. "The two of us
went to the fort on Christmas night.
He will go on to Holy Cross and from
there to Nome"
Doing better or worse up here?"
"Worsc."
"And you are still the scapegoat, |

Drop it, Jack" Larry said irritably.
The other turned to Dan. Have you

Larry left town some days ago after
cleaning up McDougan's bank"
Tin, you mean," the other answered
with show of anger. 81 suppose he
has been up to his usual tricks. 1t
wasn't Larry. That fellow is the
Straightest, whitest white man l have
ever known"
Dan considered. 81 guess it is up to
me to make reparation," he said, glanc-
ing about the room. He made his way
to his sister and Larry, who We're
standing together at the further end of
the room, and talked very earnestly
with them for some minutes then he
raped upon table standing near.
The silence was instantaneous. Dan
hesitated, cleared his throat, still hest

came-not many, but when they We're
uttered pandemOnium reigned for u
