Gordon

He smiled, little ruefully. "And it
isn't necessary for you to explain why
the curfew law applies to me and not
to Macdonald"
''YOu're quite right. It isn't necessary.
But I'm going to tell you, anyhow. Mr..
Macdonald is going away tomorrow for
two or three days, and he has some
business he wants to talk over with
Sheba. He had made an appointment
with her, and didn't think it fair to
let your coming interfere with it."
Gordon took this facer with his
smile still working.
'EPve got little business want to
talk over with Won Di"
She had always been a young woman
of rather hard finish. Now she met
him fairly, eye to eye. "Any time you
like, Gordon"
Elliot carried away with him one
very definite impression. Diane In
tended Sheba to marry Macdonald if
she could bring 1t about. She had as
good as served notice on him that the
girl was spoken for.
The young man set his square jaw.
Diane was used to having her own
way. So was Macdonald. Well, the

"Nor MORE" she suggested. "You

"That's just what didn't do. Don't

I'm not such a mush-brained fool. If
it had not been for you would never

"Don't use that word about what you

Elliot glanced at the woman behind
whose skirts the youngster was hid
ing. "She's not bad looking, If that's
what you mean," he said after they
had taken up the trail again.
''You amt the only white man that
has thought that" retorted the old
miner significantly.
'No?" Gordon had learned to let
Holt tell things at his leisure. It usu-
ally took less time than to try to hurry
him.

But young Elliot was not thinking
about Meteetse. His minds eye saw
another picture-the girl at Kusiak,
listening spellbound to the tales of a
man whose actions translated romance
into life for her, a girl swept from the
quiet backwaters Of an Irish village
to this land Of the midnight sun with
it's amazing contrasts.
And all the way up on the boat she
continued to fill his mind. The slow
ness Of the steamer fretted him. Some
times the jealousy in his heart famed

played upon it. He bridged all expla.
nations and passed to the thing he
meant to do in reparation.
'The money cleaned up from that
claim belongs to you, Miss O'Neill. You
will Oblige me by taking it."
From his pocket he took a folded
paper and handed it to her. Sheba
opened it doubtfully. The paper con.
tanned a typewriter statement and to
it was attached check by means of a
clip. The check was made out to her
and signed by Colby Macdonald. The
amount it called for was $685. ,431.
"Oh, couldn't take this, Mr.. Mac

"The bank will take care Of it for
you until you decide. So that's set

subject. There's something else I
want to say to you, Miss O'Neill."
Some change in his voice warned
her. The girl slanted a quick, shy
glance at him.
II want to know if you'll marry me,
Miss O'Neill," he shot at her abruptly.
Then, without giving her time to an

with you beside me, I'm not too old
to find them yet-if you'll show me the
way, Sheba."
A wave Of color swept into her face,
but her eyes never faltered from his.
I'm not quite sure," she said in low
voice.
"You mean-whether you love me?"
She nodded. 'T-admire you more

Obeying the orders Of the general
in command, Peter took himself to his
den with the excuse that he had blue
prints to work over. Presently Diane
said she thought she heard one of the
children crying and left to investigate.
The Scotsman strobe to the fireplace
and stood looking down into the glow
ing Goals. He seemed in no bnrrY to
break the silence ana SheDa glanced
at hi /; strong broOding face little ap-
prehensively. She knew of only one
subject that would call for so formal
a private talk between her and Mac
donald, and any discussion of this she
would very much have liked to post
pOne.
He turned from the fire to Sheba. 1t
was characteristic of him that he
plunged straight at what he wanted
to say.
'T've asked to see you alone, Miss
O'Neill, because want to make con-
fession and restitution-to begin
WITH" he told her abruptly.
She had sense Of suddenly stilled
pulses. "That sounds very serious"
The young woman smiled family.
His face of chiseled granite masked
all emotion. It kept under lock and
key the insurgent impulses that moved
him when he looked into the slOe eyes
charged with reserve. Back of them,
he felt, was the mystery of purity, of
maidenhood. He longed to know her
better, to find out and to appropriate
for himself the woman that lay behind
the fine veil Of flesh. She seemed to
him delicate as a flame and as vivid.
There would come day when her In
nocent, passional nature would re-
spond to the love of a man as a wait
ing harp does to skillful fingers.
my story goes away back to the
Klondike days. I told you that
knew your father on Frenchman creek,
but I didn't say much about knowing
him on Bonanza"
"Mr. Strong has told me something
about the days on Bonanza, and knew
you would tell me more some day
when you wanted to speak about it."
''Your father was among the first of
those who stampeded to Bonanza. He
and Strong took a claim together. /

"Do you mean that you-wronged

Eyes. cheated him." He resolved
to gloss over nothing, to offer no ex-
cuses. 81 didn't know there was gold
in the claim, but I had what we call
hunch. I took the claim without
giving value received"
''But-I don't understand" Her
brave, steady eyes looked directly into
those of Macdonald. eff he felt you
had-dOne him a wrong-why did he
come to you when he was ill?"
'He was coming to demand Justice
of me. On the way he suffered ex-
posure and caught pneumonia. The
word reached us, and Strong and
brought him to our cabin"
''You faced blizzard to bring him
in. Mr.. Strong told me how you
risked your life by carrying him
through the storm-how you wouldn't
give up and leave him, though you

could an innocent young girl like
Eheba know Of such a man as Colby
Macdonald? Her imagination con-
ceived, no doubt, an idealized vision of
him. But the real man was clear out
side her ken.
Gordon set his jaw grimly. He
would have it out with Diane. He
would let her see she was not going
to have it all her own way. By
heaven, he would put spoke in her
wheel.
He was on fire to come to his jour
ney's end. No sooner had he reached
his hotel than he called up Mrs. Paget.
Quite clearly she understood that he
