An immediate advance Of 800 on all

she could bring 1t about. She had as

voice.

'sHe's a big, splendid man, but
don't like him any the less because
he has the power to make life easy

Tended sturdily.
sYet you turned down Arthur West,
the best catch in your set, to marry
Peter, who was the worst" he re-
minded her. "Have you ever been
sorry for it?"
She required to the previous ques-
ton "Sheba knows more about Mr..
Macdonald than you think. And about
how he got her fathers claim, for in :.
stance-she has heard all that"
"You told herr"
"No. Colby Macdonald told her. He
said he practically robbed her father,
and he gave her check for nearly two
hundred thousand to cover the clean
up from the claim and interest"
"Bully for him." On the heel Of
this he flung a question at her. did
Macdonald ask her to marry him the
night Of the dinner"
A flash Of whimsical amusement lit
her dainty face. "You'd better ask
him thet. Here he comes now"
They were coming down the walk
together, Macdonald and Sheba. The
young woman was absorbed in his talk,
and she did not know that her cousin
and Elliot were on the porch until
she was close upon them. But at sight
of the young man her eyes became
warm and kind.
"Tm sorry was out yesterday when
you called" she told him.
"And you were out again today. My
luck isn't very good, Is it?"
He laughed pleasantly, but his heart
was bitter. He believed Macdonald
had won.
We've had such good walk" She
ba went on quickly. II wish you could
have heard Mr.. Macdonald telling me
how he had chance to save small
Eskimo tribe during hard winter. He
carried food five hundred miles to
them. 1t was thrilling experience"
"Mr. Macdonald has had lot Of
very interesting experiences. You must
get him to tell you about all of Them"
answered Gordon quietly.
The eyes Of the two men met The
steel-gray ones of the older man an
swered the challenge of his rival with
long, steady look. There was in 1t
something of triumph, something OF
scornful insolence. If this young fell
low wanted war, he did not need to
walt long for 1t.
"Time enough for that, man. Miss
O'Nelll and I have the whole Arctic
winter before US for Stories"
The muscles in the lean jaws Of Cor
don Elliot stood out like steel ropes.
He turned to Sheba. Gam to con-
graduate Mr.. Macdonald?"
The color in her cheeks grew warm
er, but her shy glance met his fairly.
II think 1t is 1 that am to be congrat-
ulated. Mr.. Elliot"
Diane took her cousin in her arms.
my dear, wish you all the happi-
ness in the world" she said softly.
The Irish girl fed into the house
as soon as she could, but not before
making an announcement.
"We're to be married soon, very uui-
city. If you are still at Kusiak we
want you to be one of the few friends
present, Mr.. Elliot"
Macdonald backed her invitation
with cool, cynical smile. Miss
O'Neill speaks for us both, of course,
Elliot"
The defeated man bowed. Thanks
very much. The chances are that I'll
be through my business before then"
AS soon as his fiancee had gone into
the house. the Scotsman left, Gordon
