orable Judgment Of youth. did you
leave the moral code at home when
you came in over the ice?"
He~smiled a little. Morality is the
average conduct of the average man
at given time and place. 1t is based
on custom and expediency. The rules
made for Drogheda won't fit Dawson
or Nome. MeteetSe does not hold her
self disgraced but honored. She counts
her boy far superior to the other
youngsters of the village, and he is
so considered by the tribe. l am told
she lords it over her sisters"
A faint flush of anger crept into her
cheeks. "Your view of morality puts
US on level with the animals. / will
not discuss the subject, if you please"
1--WE must discuss it. I must get you
to see that Meteetse and what she
stood for in my life have nothing to
do with US. They belong to my past.
She doesn't exist for either of US
isn't in any way a part of my present
or future"
"She exists for me-" answered Sheba
listlessly. She felt suddenly old and
weary. "But I can't talk about it.
Please go. want TO be alone"
Again Macdonald paced restlessly
down the room and back. The man

was one among ten thousand, domi-
nant, virile, every ounce of him strong
as tested steel. But he felt as if all
his energy were Gagged.
"Why don't you go?" the girl plead
ed. ITS no use to stay"
He stopped in front of her. 'Tm
going to marry you, Sheba. You're
mine'
"No. Never" she cried. "Tll take
the boat and go home first"
"You've promised to marry me.
You're going to keep your word and
be glad of it all your life"
She shook her head. "No."
"Yes." Macdonald had always
shown remarkable restraint with her.
he had kissed her seldom, and always
with a kind of awe at her young pur-
ity. Now he caught her by the Shout
ders.
The color famed into her face. She
looked hot to the touch, an active
volcano ready to erupt. There was an
odd feeling in her mind that this big
man was stranger to her.
"Take your hands from me-" she or
dered.

up nOw-now, after I've won you
because of a fool scruple in your
pretty head? You don't know me. It's
too late. I love you-and I'm going
to protect both of US from your prud-
iShness."
His arms closed on her and he
crushed her to him, looking down hum
grily into the dark little face.
"Let me CO." she cried fiercely,
struggling to free herself.
For answer he kissed the red lips,
the flaming cheeks. the angry eyes.
Then, coming to his senses, he pushed
her from him, turned, and strobe heav-
lily from the room.

and aired his views on politics and af.
fairs social. He left the boat at the
big bend
| Not till week later did Elliot re-
turn up the river. He was asleep al
the time the Sarah passed the bic
bend, but next morning he discovered
that Selfridge and Dustin had come
aboard during the night. In the after
noon he came upon real surprise
when he found Meteetse and her little
| boy Colmac seated upon a box on the
lower deck where freight for local
points was stored.
His guess was that they were local
| passengers, but wharf after wharf
slipped behind them and the two still
! remained on board. They appeared
to know nobody else on the Sarah,
though once Gordon met Dustin just as
he was hurrying away from the Indian
woman.
Meteetse transferred with the other
Kusiak passengers at the river juno
one on board who wondered where
she was going Selfridge was con-
sumed with curiosity, and when she
and the boy got off at Kusiak, he could
restrain himself no longer. Gordon
saw Wally talking with her. Meteetse
showed him an envelope which evil
IDENTIFY had an address written upon it,
for the little man pointed out to her
the direction in which she must go.
Since leaving Kusiak nearly two
weeks before, no word had reached
Gordon of Sheba. AS soon as he had
finished dinner at the hotel, he walked
out to the Paget house and sent in
his card.
Sheba came into the hall to meet
him from the living room where she
had been sitting with the man she ex-
pected to marry next week. She gave
little murmur Of pleasure at sight Of
him and held out both hands.

"Next Thursday. Of course we're
as busy as can be, but Diane says"
A ring at the door interrupted her.
Sheba stepped forward and let in an
Indian woman with little boy cling

"You Miss O'Neill?" she asked.

From the folds of her shawl she
drew a letter. The girl glanced at the
address, then opened and read what
was written. She looked up, puzzled,
first at the comely, fiat-footed Indian
woman and afterward at the handsome
little brown-frced papoose. She turned
to Gordon.
'"This letter says I am to ask this
woman who is the father of her boy.
What does it mean?"
Gordon knew instantly what 1t
meant, though he could not guess who
had dealt the blow. The impulse to

CHAPTER XIII.
Gordon Buys a Revolver.


Selfridge was not eager to meet his
chief, but he knew he must report at
once. He stopped at his house only
long enough to get into fresh clothes
and from there walked down to the
Office.
it had been the intention Of Mac
donald to go direct from Sheba to his
Office, but the explosion brought about
by Meteetse had sent him out into the
hills for a long tramp. He was in
a stress of furious emotion, and until
he had worked off the edge of it by
hard mushing, the cramped civiliza-
ton of the town stified him.
Hours later he strobe into the Office
of the company. Wally lay asleep In
swivel chair, his fat body sagging
and his head fallen sideways In such a
way as to emphasize the plump folds
of his double chin. His eyes opened.
They took in his chief slowly. Then,
in small panic, he jumped to his
feet.
"Must "a been taking thirty winks,"
he explained. "Been up nights good
deal"
"What doing?" demanded the Scots
man harshly.
In a hurried attempt to divert the
anger of Macdonald, his assistant
made a mistake. "Say. Macl Who
do you think came up on the boat
with me? l wondered IL you knew.

He stopped. The big man was gIar-
ing savagely at him. But Macdonald

than the desire that she should know
the truth.
'Send her away" he urged. "Don't
ask any questions. She has been sent

A fawnlike fear flashed into the star
tied eyes. ''To hurt me?"

"But-why? l have done nobody

her breathing in suspense.

And at that there came star-fash

the chin cut fine as a cameo. She
turned proudly to the Indian woman.

Elliot rose and looked across at the

jaw was set when he turned it back
toward Diane.
"She isn't going to marry him If I
can help it" he said quietly.
He walked out of the gate and down
the walk toward his hotel.
A message was waiting for him there
from his chief in Seattle. 1t called him
down the river on business.
