Macdonald drove his team into the
teeth Of the storm. The wind came in
gusts. Sometimes the gale was SO stiff
that the dogs could scarcely crawl for
ward against It; again there were mo-
ments Of comparative stiffness, fol-
lowed BY squalls that slapped the
driver in the face like the whipping of
loose sail on q catboat.
High drifts made the trail dimcult.
Not once but fifty times Macdonald
left the see-pole to break Q way

ed as with lead. But 1t was not this
alone that made his breath come short
and raggedly.
Sheba had flung herself down beside
her lover. She had caught him tightly
in her arms so that his disfigured face
lay against her warm bosom. In the
eyes lifted to those of the mine-owner
was an unconQuerable defiance.
Hes mine-mine, you murderer,
she painted fiercely. IF you kill him.
you must kill me first"
The man she had once promised to
marry was looking at different wom-
an from the girl he had known. The
soft, shy youth of her was gone. She
was forest mother Of the wilds ready
to fight for her young, wife ready to
go to the stake for the husband of her
choice. An emotion primitive and
poignant had transformed her.
His eyes burned at her the question
his parched lips and throat coule
scarcely utter. $50 you love
him?"
But though it was in form a question
he knew already the answer. For the
first time in his life ne began to taste
the bitterness Of defeat. Always he
had won what he coveted by brutn,
force or his stark will. But it was be-
yond him to compel the love of girl
who had given her heart to another.
"Yes," she answered.
Her hair in two thick braids was
flung across her shoulders, her dark
head thrown back proudly from the
rounded throat.
Macdonald smiled, but there was no
mirth in his savage eyes. do you
know what I want with him-why ]
have come to get him7"
"No."
1--WE come to take him back to Ku-
siak to be hanged because he mur-
dered Milton, the bank cashier"
The eyes of the woman blazed ar
him. "Are you mad7"
Tt's the truth" Macdonald's voice
was curt and harsh. "He and Holt
were robbing the bank when Milton
came back from the dance at the club.

"That was different. 1t was part of
the game Of politics we were playing"

and up It to the distant creeks. The
other led across the divide, struck the
Yukon, and pointed way to the coast
White drifts had long since blotted out
the track Of the sled that had pre-
ceded him. Had the fugitives gone up
the river to the creeks with intent to
hole themselves mp for the winterf Or
was It their purpose to cross the divide
and 90 out over the ice to thecoast1
The pursuer knew that Gid Holt was
wise a. q weasel. He could follow
blindfolded the paths that led to every
creek in the gold-helds. It might be
taken az a certainty that he had not
plunged into such a desperate venture
without having plan well worked out
beforehand. Elliot had high grade
Of intelligence. Would they try to
reach the coast and make their get
away to Scatter Or would they dig
themselves in till the heavy SHOWS
were past and come back to civiliza-
ton with the story of q lucky strike to
account for the gold they brought with
them7 Neither gold dust nor nuggets
could be identified. There would be
no way Of proving the story false. The
only evidence against them would be
that they had left at Kusiak and this
was merely of a corroborative kind.
There would be no chance Of convict
ing them upon 1t.
To strike for Seattle was to throw
away all pretense Of innocence. Fugi-
tives from Justice, they would have to
disappear from sight in order to es-
cape. The hunt for them would con-
tinue until at last they were unearthed.
One fork of the road led to compara-
tive safety; the other went by devious
windings to the penitentiary and per
haps the gallows. The Scotsman put
himself In the place of the men he was
trailing. Given the same conditions,
he knew which, path he would follow.
Macdonald took the trail that led
down to the river, to the distant gold
creeks which offered a refuge from
man-hunters in many a deserted cabin
marooned by the deep SHOWS.
Even the iron frame and steel
muscles Of the Scotch Canadian pro-
tested against the task he had set them
that day. It was a time to sit snugly
inside by a stove and listen to the
bowling Of the wind as 1t hurled itself
down from the divide. But from day
light till dark Colby Macdonald fought
with drifts and breasted the storm. He
got into the harness with the dogs. He
broke trail for them, cheered them,
soothed, comforted, punished. Long
after night had fallen he staggered into
the hut Of two prospectors, his parka
so stiff with frozen snow that it had
to be beaten with a hammer before the
coat could be removed.
"How long since dog team passed
seven huskies and two men?" was
his first question.
"No dog team has passed for four
days" one Of the men answered.
you mean you haven't seen one,
Macdonald corrected.
II mean none has passed-unless 1t
went by in the night while we slept.
And even then our dogs would have
warned u.s."
Macdonald flung his ice-coated gloves
to a table and stopped to take OF his
mukluks. His face was blue with the
cold, but the bleak look in the eyes

was on top of him. Hampered though
he was by his parka, the Scotsman
struggled slowly to his feet again. He
was much the heavier man, and in
spite of his years the stronger. The
muscles stood out in knots on his
shoulders and across his back, whereas
on the body Of his more slender oppo-
nent they flowed and rippled in round
ed symmetry. Active as heather cat,
Elliot was far the quicker Of the two.
Half-blinded by the hammering he
had received, Gordon changed his
method Of fighting. He broke away
from the clinch and sidestepped the
bull-like rush Of his foe, covering up
as we'll as he could from the onset.
Macdonald pressed the attack and was
beaten back by hard. straight lefts and
rights to the unprotected face.
The mine-owner shook the matted
hair from his swollen eyes and rushed
again. He caught an uppercut flush ON
the end Of the chin. It did not even
stop him. The weight Of his body was
In the blow he lashed up from his
side.
The knees Of Elliot doubled up un-
der him like the blade Of q 5ack-knife.
He sank down slowly, turned. got to
his hands and knees, and tried to
shake on the tons Of weight that
seemed to be holding him down.

GERMANY FREED THE SEAS.
Freed Them From Carrying Living Men

Professor Christian Collin, of Christi
ana University, writing on the Freedom
of the Seas, in the Norwegian paper lldens
Tegn, says:
"A voice is heard in Norway voice
from Germany loudly pleading for free
dom of the seas. No human being will
deny that Germany has indeed done her
best to free the seas; that is to say, freed
them from carrying living men and ships.
'Tbose who really liberated the seas
from being a place of ceaseless agony,
from whose depths rose like bubbles
the last dying breath of those sunk,
without a trade by the most destructive
band of brigands ever bnown-these
were not the Germans but England and
her colonies, France, Italy and the United
States, and it is they alone who have the
right to speak loudly of freedom of the
seas.
'"Those others, who have scattered
broadcast the fruit of a million labors,
should be silent The very seas them
selves might we'll pray for deliverance
from these hypocrites, who dare speak
of the freedom of the seas
