Meaning that MT. Gideon Holt is the owner?"
 "You've done guessed it." admitted the miner complacently.
 He had right to be proud of the team. It was a famous one even in the-North. It had run second for two years in the Alaska sweepstakes to Macdonald's great Siberian wolf hounds. The leader, Butch, was the hero of a dozen races and a hundred savage fights.
 "What in Halifax do you want with the team?" asked Elliot, surprised. "The whole outfit must have cost a small fortune"
 Some dust" admitted Gideon proud ly. He winked mysteriously at Cor don. "I got use for this team, if anyone was to ask you"
 Haven't taken the government mail contract, have you?"
 s'Not so you could notice 1t. I'll tell you what want with this team, as the old sayin' is." Holt lowered his voice and narrowed slyly his little beadlike eyes. "I'm going to put a crimp in Colby Macdonald. That's what I aim to do with it."
 'Howw

to forget the charms of other women, The faint feminine perfume of her was waited to his brain. He felt a besieg- ing of the blood.
 Stepping behind the chair in which she sat, he tilted back the head of lus- trous bronze, and very deliberately kissed her on the lips.
 For moment she gave herself to his embrace, then pushed him back, rose, and walked across the room to a little table. With fingers that trembled slightly she lit a cigarette. Sheathed in her close-f1tting gown, she made strong carnal appeal to him, but there was between them, too, a close bond of the spirit. He made no apologies. no explanation.
 Presently she turned and looked at him. Only the deeper color beneath her eyes betrayed any excitement.
 Unless I'm bad prophet you'll get the answer you want when Sheba comes back, Colby"
 Re thought her reply to his indis- creeion superb. It admitted com plicity, reproached, warned and at the same time ignored. Never before had she called him by his given name. He took it as a token of forgiveness and renunciation.
 Why was it not Genevieve Mallory that he wanted to marry? The mine owner carried with him back to his office t sense of the futile irony of life. A score of men would have liked to marry Mrs. Mallory. She had all the sophisticated graces of life and much of the natural charm of an un- usually attractive personality. He had only to speak the word to win her, and his fancy had flown in pursuit of lit tie Puritan with no knowledge of the world.
 In front of the Seattle & Kusiak En- porium the Scotsman stopped. A lit tie man who had his back to him was bargaining for team of huskies. The man turned, and Macdonald recognized him.
 Hello, Gid. Aren't you off your usual beat bit?" he asked.
 The little miner looked him over im- pudently. "Well-well! If it ain't the big mogul himself-and wantin' to know if I've got permission to travel off the reservation"
 q reckon you travel where you want to, Gid-same as I do."
 "Maybeso. I shouldn't wonder if you'd find out quite soon enough what I'm doing here. You never can tell,'' the old man retorted with a manner that concealed volumes.
 Those who were present remembered the words and in the light of what took place later thought them significant.
 Anyhow, it is quite a social event for Kusiak," Macdonald suggested with a smile of irony.
 Without more words Holt turned back to his bargaining. The big Scots man went on his way, remembered that he wanted to see the cashier of the bank which he controlled, and promptly forgot that old Gid existed.
 The old man concluded his purchase and drove up to the hotel behind one of the best dog teams in Alaska.
 Gideon asked a question of the DOT ter.
