jerked their heads hurriedly to the

There were tears in their eyes as

finland, and men work out their

en- who have not journeyed into far
untries cannot come to understand.
An hour later Cuthfert put a pan of
bread into the oven and fell to specu-
lating on what the surgeons could do
with his feet when he got back. Home
did not seem so very far away now.
Weatherbee was rummaging in the
cache. OF sudden he raised q whirl-
wind of blasphemy, which In turn
ceased with startling abruptness. The
other man had robbed his sugar sack.
Still, things might have happened DIFF
ferently had not the two dead men
come out from under the stones and
hushed the hot words in his throat.
They led him quite gently from the
cache, which he forgot to close. That
contamination was reached; that some
thing they had whispered to him in
his dreams was about to happen. They
guided him gently, very gently, to the
woodpile, where they put the ak in
his hands. Then they helped him
shove open the cabin door, and he felt
sure they shut it after him-at least
he heard 1t slam and the latch fall
sharply into place. And he knew they
were waiting just without, waiting for
him to do his task.
Garter! 1 say. Carter!"
Percy Cuthfert was frightened at
the look on the clerks face, and he
made haste to put the table between
them.
Carter Weatherbee followed without
haste and without enthusiasm. There
was neither pity nor passion in his
face. but rather the patient. stolid look
Of one who has certain work to do and
goes about it methodically.

The clerk lodged back, cutting OF
his retreat to the door, but never open
ing his mouth.

The master Of arts was thinking rap

ly at the base of the spine, and Percy
Cuthfert felt all consciousness Of his
lower limbs leave him. Then the clerk
fell heavily upon him. clutching him
by the throat with feeble fingers. The
sharp bite Of the ak had caused Cuth-
fert to drop the pistol, and as his
lungs painted for release he fumbled
aimlessly for it among the blankets.
Then he remembered. He slid hand
up the clerks belt to the sheath knife,
and they drew very close to each other
In that last clinch.
Percy Cuthfert felt his strength leave
him. The lower portion Of his body
was useless. The inert weight Of
Weatherbee crushed him-crushed him
and pinned him there like bear under
a trap. The cabin became filed with
a familiar odor, and he knew the bread
to be burning. Yet what did it mat
ter? He would never need it. And
there were all of six cupfuls Of sugar

Things prospered in the little cabin
at first. The rough badinage Of their
comrades had made Weatherbee and
Cuthfert conscious Of the mutual re-
sponsibility which had devolved upon
them. Besides. there was not so much
work, after all, for two healthy men.
And the removal of the cruel whip
hand, or. in other words, the BULLDOG
ing half breed, had brought with it
joyous reaction. At first each strOve

petty tasks with an JUNCTION which
would have opened the eyes Of their
comrades who were now wearing out

SUPERB ACTING

'Rupert Julian so cleverly pictures
the kaiser that one feels as if he were
being let into a secret from which the
rest of the world has been excluded.
One is ever conscious of the CLEAN of
insanity radiating from the ambitious

vanity, his admiration for pretty femi-

for the officers of his own regiment

some dependable history. Chicago
