4gh she tried not to let her lover
know IT, Sheba was troubled at heart.
Gordon was practically the prisoner of
man who hated him bitterly, who be-
lieved him guilty of murder, and who
would go through fire to bring punish
ment home to him. She knew the
power of Macdonald. With the money
back of him, he had for two years
fought against and almost prevailed
over a strong public opinion in the
United States. He was as masterfuI in
his hatred as in his love. The dominant,
fighting figure in the Northwest, he
trod his sturdy way through opposition
like a Colossus.
Nor did she any longer have any
illusions about him. He could be both
ruthless and INSCRIPTIONS when IT
suited his purpose. As the day wore
toward noon, her spirits dropped. She
was tired physically, and this reacted
upon her courage.
The warmer weather was spelling
the trail. Tt became so soft and mushy
that though snOwshoeS were needed
they could not be worn on account of
the heavy snow which chung to them
every time a foot was lifted. They
wore mukluks, but Sheba was wet to
the knees. The spring had gone from
her step. Her shoulders began to sag.
For some time Gordon's eye had
been seeking a good place for a day
camp. He found it in bit Of open

passionate love of things fine and
brave transformed the universe for
him. 1t was enough for him to be near
her, to hear the laughter bubbling in
her throat, to touch her crisp, blue
black hair as he adjusted the scarf
about her head
"God made the night" he replied.

as q pagan one"
They were no exception to the rule
that lovers are egOists. The world for
them tonight divided itself into two
classes. One included Sheba O'NeiIl
and Gordon Elliot; the other took in
the uninteresting remnant OF humanity.
No matter how far afield their talk be-
gan, il always came back to them
selves They wanted to know ali about
each other, to compare experiences
and points Of view. But time fed too
fast for words. They talked-as lovers
will to the end OF time-in exclama-
tons and the meeting OF eyes and lit
tie endearments.
When Diana and Peter found them
on the hillside, Sheba protested. with
her half-shy, half-audacious smile, that
it could not be two hours since she
and Gordon had left the living room.
Peter grinned. He remembered a hill
top consecrated TO his own courtship
Of Diane.
The only wedding present that Mac
donald sent Sheba was long envelope
with two documents attached by a clip.
One was from the Kusiak Sun It an
nOunced that the search party had
found the body of Northrup with the
rest of the stolen gold beside him. The
other was q copy of legal document
It's effect was that the district attorney
had dismissed all charges pending
against Gordon Elliot.
Although Macdonald lost the coal
claims at Kamatlah by reason OF the
report Of Elliot, all Alaska still be-
lieves that he was right In that coun-
try Of strong men he stands head and
shoulders above his fellows. He has
the fortunate gift of commanding the
admiration OF friend and foe alike.
The lady who is his wife is secretly the
greatest Of his slaves, but she tries not
to let him know how much he has cap
tured her Imagination For Genevieve
Macdonald cannot quite understand,
herself, how so elemental an emotion
as love can have pierced the armor OF
her sophistication.

Elliot had risen. Sheba stood beside
him, her hand in his. She spoke quietly.
Its the truth. Believe it or not as
you please. We care nothing about
that
The stab of her eyes, the carriage of
the slim, plant figure with its sugges-
ton of fine. gallantry, challenged her
former lover to do his worst.
On the battered face of Gordon was
a smile. So long as his Irish sweet
heart stood by him he did not care if
he were charged with high treason. 1t
was worth all it cost to feel the
warmth of her brave, impulsive trust.
The (ieep-set eyes of Macdonald
clinched with those of his rival. 'You
cached the rest of the gold, suppose -
he said doggedly.
With a lit of his shoulders the
younger man answered lightly: There

turned on his heel.
The rife lay where Sheba had
dropped it when she ran to gather her
stricken lover into her arms. Macdon-
aid picked it up and strobe over the
brow of the hill without a backward
look. He was too proud to stay and
watch them. 1t was impossible to es-
cape him In the deep snow that filed
the hill trails, and he was convinced
they would attempt nothing of the
kind
