Meaning that Mr.. Gideon Holt is

you've done guessed It," admitted
the miner eomplacently.
He had q right to be proud Of the
team. 1t was a famous one even in
the North. It had run second for two
years in the Alaska sweepstakes to
Macdonald's great Siberian wolf
hounds. The leader, Butch, was the
hero Of dozen races and q hundred
savage fights.
"What in Halifax do you want with
the teamr asked Elliot, surprised.
1.-The, whole outfit must have cost a
small fortune"
"Some dust" admitted Gideon proud
~. He winked mysteriously at Cor
don. II got a use for this team. If
anyone was to ask you"
Haven't taken the government mail
contract, have you7"
'Not SO you could notice 1t. I'll tell
you what want with this team, as the
old sayin' is" Holt lowered his voice
and narrowed slyly his little beadlike
eyes. I'm going to put crimp In
Colby Macdonald. That's what I aim
to do with It"
"Howr"
The miner beckoned Elliot closed
and whispered in his ear.

body. In spite Of his terror, Of his
faced will, he had to keep the faith.
He was guardian Of the bank funds.
At all costs he must protect them.
His forearm came up with a jerk.
Two shots rang out almost together.
The cashier sagged back against the
wall and slowly slid to the floor.
The guests Of Mrs. Selfridge danced
well into the small hours. The Cali
fornia champagne stimulated a gayety
that was balm to her soul. She want

to forget the charms Of other vsmen.
The faint feminine perfume Of her was
waited to his brain. He felt a besieg-
ing Of the blood.
Stepping behind the chair in which
she sat. he tilted back the head Of lus-
trous bronze, and very deliberately
kissed her on the lips.
For a moment she gave herself to
his embrace, then pushed him back,
rose, and walked across the room to a
little table. With fingers that trembled
slightly she Lit cigarette. Sheathed
In her close-1tting gown, she made a
strong carnal appeal to him, but there
was between them, too, q close bond
OF the spirit. He made no APOLOGIES,
no explanation.
Presently she turned and looked at
him. Only the deeper color beneath
her eyes betrayed any excitement.
unless I'm a bad prophet you'll get
the answer you want when Sheba
comes back, Colby"
He thought her reply to his indis-
erection superb. It admitted COM
plicity, reproached, warned and at the
same time ignored. Never before had
she called him by his given name. He
took 1t as token Of forgiveness and
renunciation.
Why was 1t not Genevieve Mallory
that he wanted to marry3 The mine
owner carried with him back to his
office sense Of the futile irony of
life. A score of men would have liked
to marry Mrs. Mallory. She had all
the sophisticated graces of life and
much Of the natural charm of an I'M
usually attractive personality. He had
only to speak the word to win her, and
his fancy had flown in pursuit of lit
tie Puritan with no knowledge of the
world.
In front Of the Seattle 4 Kusiak EN-
porium the Scotsman stopped. A lit
tie man who had his back to him was
bargaining for team Of huskies, The
man turned, ana Macdonald recognized
him.
Hello. Gid. Aren't you of your
usual beat bit7" he asked.
The little miner looked him over i'm
pudently. "Well-welli If It amt the
big mogul hlmself-and wantin' to
know If I've got permission to travel
of the reservation"
II reckon you travel where Won want
to. Gid-same as I do"
'Maybeso. shouldn't wonder II
you'd find out quite soon enough what
I'm doing here. You never can tell"
the old man retorted with a manner
that concealed volumes.
Those who were present remembered
the words and in the light Of what took
place later thought them significant.
Anyhow, 1t Is quite a social event
for Kusiak," Macdonald suggested
with smile of irony.
Without more words Holt turned
back to his bargaining. The big Scots
man went on his way, remembered
that he wanted to see the cashier Of
the bank which he controlled, and
promptly forgot that old Gid existed.
The old man concluded his purchase
and drove up to the hotel behind one
of the best dog teams in Alaska.
Gideon asked question Of the Dor.

Second floor. That's his room ND
there" the man answered, pointing to
a window.
"Oh, you, seven-eighteen-n

Elliott appeared at the window.

ed her dinner-dance to be smart, to
have the atmosphere she had found in
the New York cabarets. II everybody
talked at once, she felt they were hav-
ing a good time. II nobody listened
to anybody else. 1t proved that the at
fair was screaming success.
Mrs. Wally was satisfied as she babe
her guests good-by and saw them pass
into the heavy snow that was again
falling. They all assured her that
there had not been 30 hilarious party
In Kusiak.
Ono old-timer, trifie lit up by rea-
son Of too much hospitality, phrased
his enjoyment a little awkwardly.
TITS been great. Mrs. Selfridge.
Nothing like 1t since the days Of the
open dance hail."
Mrs. Mallory hastily suppressed an
internal smile and stepped into the
breach. GLOW do you do itr' she
asked her hostess enviously.
my dear, II Jon say It was a sue
cess"
"What else could one sayr'
Genevieve Mallory always preferred
to tell the truth when 1t would do Just
as we'll. Now 1t did better. since 1t
contributed to her own ironic sense Of
amusement. Macdonald had once told
her that Mrs. Selfridge made him think
Of the saying, Monkey sees, monkey
does" The effervescent little woman
had never had an original idea in her
life.
Most Of those who had been at the
dance slept late. They were Obvious
Of the fact that the storm had quick
ened again into bowling gale. Nor
did they know the two bits Of news
that were passing up and down the
main street and being telephoned from
house to house. One Of the items was
that the stage for Katma had failed to
reach the roadhouse at Smiths Cross
ing. The second bit Of news was local.
For the first time since Robert Milton
had been cashier the bank had failed
to open on the dot.
Macdonald was no sluggard. Il was
his habit not to let the pleasure Of the
night before interfere with the busi-
ness Of the morning after. But in the
darkness he oversight and let the town
wnken before him. He was reused BY
the sound Of knocking on his door.
"Who Is IT." he asked.
ITS me-Jones-Gophe Jones, Saw.
Mac, the bank ain't open and we can't
rouse Milton. Thought I'd come to
you. seeing as you're president of the
shebang."
In three minutes Macdonald Joined
the marshal and walked down with
him to the bank. He unlocked the
front door and turned to the little
crowd that had gathered.
Better wait here, boys. Gopher and
I will 60 In. I expect everything IL
all right, but we'll let you know about
that as soon az We find out"
The bank president opened the door,
let the ofiicer enter, and followed HIM
self.
The sun had not yet r.Aen and the
blinds were down. Macdonald struck
a match and held 1t up.
Banks been robbed" he announced
quietly.
Looks IKE" agreed Jones. His
voice was uneven with excitement.
The Scotch Canadian lit another
match. In the fare Of It he saw TINT
the steel grill cutting on the alcoye
was open and that the door had been
blown from the safA.

VEEDER's ATTORNEYS
 FILE WRIT OF ERROR.
Three Judges of the U. s. Circuit Court of Appeals Are to Review the Case.

' Chicago, Feb f2Attorneys for Henry Veeder, general counsel for Swift & company, today filed a writ of error and obtained a supersedas from the United States circuit court of appeals in the governments search warrant case over the protest of the legal representatives of the govern ment with the result that further search of the vault of the packers lawyer for evidence in the federal trade commissions investigation will be delayed until after March 1.
 On that date the three judges of the . United States circuit court of appeals will review the case and pass on the validity of the governments writ is- sued under the search and seizure sec tion of the espionage law.
 Francis J. Heney, for the federal trade commission, declared that the delay resulting from the appeal of the case by the counsel for Swift & com pany will not seriously hamper the government agents in the investigation and prosecution of the alleged felonies charged in the ajdavit on which the search warrant was issued
 The men we are after will not get away, and perhaps this is as good a time as any to thresh out the question tof how far the Government, may go under search warrant after docu- ments and papers alleged to have been used in the commission of felonies,' , said MT. Heney.

The witness spoke with freat reserve and moderation, declaring merely thal he took exception to the form in which these criticisms were presented by a man who strangely abuses the moral cloth he wears. M. Doyen then reit- erated and explained in detail the por- tipns of his report which the prison CTS brother had challenged.
 After M. Doyen has testified. Mon signor Bolo again took the stand and reiterated his attacks of yesterday especially on the authenticity of the
