CHAPTER Xxx.
In the Blizzard.

In the Blizzard.
"Swiftwater" Pete, the driver Of the
stage between Kusiak and Katma, did
not like the look of the sky as his
ponies breasted the long uphill climb
that ended at the pass. "Gittin' her
back up for a blizzard, looks like.
Doggone it, if that wouldn't jest be my
luck" he murmured fretfully.
Sheba hoped there would be one, not.
of course, really, truly blizzard such
as Macdonald had told her about, but

into the roadhouse with the happy
sense of an adventure achieved. The
girl was buoyed up by sense of free
dom. For time, at least, she was es-
Gaping Macdonald's driving energy, the
appeal of Gordon Elliot's warm friend
illness, and the unvoiced urging Of
Diane. Good old Peter and the kid
dies were the only ones that let her
alone.
She looked back at the horses labor
ing up the hill. saltwater had got
down and was urging them forward,
his long whip cracking about the
ears of the leaders. He was worried.
He would have liked to turn and run
for it. But the last roadhouse was
twenty-seven miles back. If the blIz-
zard came bowling down the slope

reaching safety. Smiths Crossing was
on the other side of the divide, only
nine miles away. They would have to

Miss O'Neill knew that saltwater
Pete was anxious, and though she was
not yet afraid, the girl understood the
reason for it. The road ran through
the heart of vast snow-field, the sur
face of which was being swept by a
screaming wind. The air was full Of
sifted white dust, and tile road furrOw
was rapidly filling. Soon it would be
obliterated. Sheba tramped behind the
stage-driyer and in her tracks walked
Mrs. Olson, the other passenger.
Through the muffled scream of the
storm saltwater shouted back to
Sheba. "You wanta keep close to me. !"
She nodded her head. His order
needed no explanation. The world

up to the hotel together. AS soon as
they had explained what they wanted,
the landlord got a passkey and took
them to the room Holt had used.
Apparently the bed had been slept
in. In the waste-paper basket the dis
trict attorney found something which
he held up in significant silence.
Macdonald stepped forward and took
from him small cloth sack.
"One of those we keep our gold in
at the bank said the Scotsman after
close examination. 'aThis definitely
| ties up Holt with the robbery. Now
for Elliott
| HE left the hotel with Holt about
five this morning, the porter says"
This was the contribution of the land
lord.
The room Of Gordon Elliot was in
great disorder. Garments had been
tossed on the bed and on every chair
and had been left to lie wherever they
had CHANGED to fall. Plainly their
owner had been in great haste.
Macdonald looked through the closet
where clothes hung. His new fur
coat is not here-nOr his trail boots.
Looks to me as though Mr.. Gordon had
hit the trail with his friend Holt"
/ All doubt of this was removed when
prospector reached town with the
news that he had met Holt and Elliot
travelling toward the divide as fast as
they could drive the dogs.
The big Scotsman ordered his team
of Siberian wolf-hounds made ready
for the trail. AS he donned his heavy
furs, Colby Macdonald smiled with
deep satisfaction. He had Elliot on
| the run at last.
Just as he closed the door of his
room, Macdonald heard the telephone
bell ring. He hesitated, then shrugged
his shoulders and strobe out into the
storm. II he had answered the call
he would have learned from Diane,
who was at the other end of the line,
that the stage upon which Sheba had
started for Katma had not reached the
rOadhOuse at Smiths Crossing.
Five minutes later the winners of
the great Alaska sweepstakes were

Baldface git to buckins them drifts"
He had been gone two hours ard the
dusk was already descending over the
white waste when Sheba ventured out
to see what had become of the stage
driver. But the cold was so bitter
that she soon gave up the attempt to
fight her way through the drifts and
turned back to the cabin.
Some time later saltwater Pete
came stumbling into their temporary
home. He was tagged to exhaustion
but triumphant. Upon the table he
dropped from the crook of his Eumbed
arm two packages.
1.-THE makings for Christmas din
ner." he said with grin.
Mrs. Olson thawed out the pudding
and the chocolates In the oven and
made kind Of mush out Of some
oats Pete had saved from the horse
feed. They ate their One-sided meal
In high spirits. The freeze had saved
their lives. If it held clear till to-
morrow they could reach Smiths
crossing on the crust Of the snow.
saltwater broke up the chairs for
fuel and demolished the legs of the
table, after which he lay down before
the stove and fell at once into a sod
den sleep.
Presently Mrs. Olson lay down on
the bed and began to snore regularly.
Sheba could not sleep. The boards
tired her bones and she was cold.
Sometimes she slipped into cat maps
that were full Of bad dreams. When
she Weakened with start it was to find
that the fire had died down. She was
shivering from lack Of cover. Out
city the girl replenished the fire and
lay down again.
When. she Weakened with a start 1t
was morning. A faint light sifted
through the single window of the
shack. Sheba whispered to the older
woman that she was going out for a
little walk.
AS she worked her way down the
gulch Sheba wondered whether the
news OF their loss had reached Ku-
siak. Were search parties out already
to rescue them? Colby Macdonald
had gone into the blizzard years ago to
save her father. Perhaps he might
have been out all night trying to save
her fathers daughter. Peter would 60,
Of course-and Gordon Elliot. The
work In the mines would stop and
men would volunteer by scores. That
was one fine thing about the North.
It responded to the unwritten law
that man must risk his own life to
save others.
From little knoll Sheba looked
down upon the top of the stage three
hundred yards below her, and while
she stood there the promise Of the
new day was blazoned on the sky. 1t
came with amazing beauty Of green
and primrose and amethyst, while the
stars flickered out and the heavens

Drop mat gum came the low,

took on the blue of sunrise. She drew
deep, slow breath Of alteration and
turned away. As she did SO her eyes
dilated and her body grew rigid.
Across the snow waste man was
coming. He was moving toward the
cabin and must cross the trench close
to her. The heart Of the girl stopped,
then beat wildly to make up the lost
stroke. He had come through the bliz-
zard to save her.
At that very instant, as If the stage
had been set for 1t, the wonderful
Alaska sun pushed up into the crotch
Of the peaks and poured its radiance
over the Arctic waste. The pink glow
swept In a tide of delicate color over
the snow and transmitted 1t to mil
lions Of sparkling diamonds. The
Great Magician's wand had recreated
the world instantaneously.
