Is he to tell her If they meet-that
her father died Of pneumonia brought
on by drink? Is that what you wantY"
II suppose l wanted Holt to tell her
that Macdonald robbed her father and
indirectly was the cause of his DEATH"
"Absurd" exploded Diane. you're
so simple that you accept as truth the
gossip of every crack-br lned idiot
when it suits your purpose"
He smiled, boyishly, engagingly, as
he held out his hand. 'Don't let's
quarrel, Di. I admit l forgot myself"
"All right. We won't. But don't
believe all the catty talk you hear,
Gordon"
'rll try to believe only the truth"
He smiled, a little ruefully. "And it
isn't necessary for you to explain why
the curfew law applies to me and not
to Macdonald"
She was on her dignity at once.
you're quite right. 1t isn't necessary.
But Pm going to tell you, anyhow. Mr..
Macdonald is going away tomorrow for
two or three days, and he has some
business he wants to talk over with
Sheba. He had made an appointment
with her, and I didn't think 1t fair to
let your coming interfere with it."
Gordon took this facer with his
smile still working.

talk over with you, Dr."
She had always been young woman
of rather hard finish. Now she met
him fairly, eye to eye. "Any time you
like, Gordon"
Elliot carried away with him one
very definite impression. Diane In
tended Sheba to marry Macdonald If
she could bring 1t about. She had as
good as served notice on him that the
girl was spoken for.
The young man set his square Jaw.
Diane was used to having her own
way. So was Macdonald. Well, the
Elliots had will Of their own, too. e

"Nor MORE" she suggested. "You
may have made hard bargain with
him, but you wiped that out later"
"That's just what didn't do. Don't
think my conscience is troubling me.
I'm not such a mush-brained fool. If
IL had not been for you I would never
have thought of 1t again. But you are
his daughter. What cheated him out
of belongs to rc1-and you are my
friend"
'Don't use that word about what you
did, please. He wasn't child. If
you got the best of him in bargain,
I don't think father would think Of it
that way"
The difficulty was that he could not

weakness for drink and how he had
played upon 1t. He bridged all expla-
nations and passed to the thing he
meant to do In reparation.
"The money / cleaned up from that
claim belongs to you, Miss O'Neill. You
will oblige me by taking it"
From his pocket he took folded
paper and handed 1t to her. Sheba
opened 1t doubtfully. The paper con-
tanned a typewriter statement and to
1t was attached check by means of a
clip. The check was made out to her
and signed by Colby Macdonald. The
amount it called for was $183,431.
"Oh, 1 couldn't take this, Mr.. Mac
donald-I couldn't. 1t doesn't belong
to me-" she cried.
at belongs to you-and you're going
to take It,"
II wouldn't know what to do with
so much"
"The bank will take care Of 1t for
you until you decide. So that's set
tied" He passed definitely from the
subject. 'sThere's something else /
want to say to you, Miss O'Neill."
Some change in his voice warned
her. The girl slanted a quick, shy
glance at him.
81 want to know if you'll marry me,
Miss O'Neill," he shot at her abruptly.
Then, without giving her time to an
swer, he pushed on: I'm older thnn
you-by twenty-five years. Always
I've lived on the frontiers. I've had
to take the world by the throat and
shake from 1t what I wanted. So I've
grown hard and willful. All the sweet,
fine things of life I've missed. But
with you beside me, I'm not too old
to find them yet--if you'll show me the
way, Sheba."
A wave of color swept into her face,
but her eyes never faltered from his.
"Pm not quite sure" she said in low
voice.
"You mean-whether you love met"
She nodded. T-admire you more
than any man I ever met. You are
a great man, strong and powerful
and ] am so Insignificant beside you.

I am not sure"
'I'm going away for two days. Per-
haps when come back you will know,
Sheba. Take your time. Marriage is
serious business. I want you to re-
member that my life has been very
different from yours. You'll hear all
sorts of things about me. Some of
them are true. There is this differ
ence between man and good wom-
an. BE fights and falls and fights again
and wins. But good woman is finer.
She has never known the failure that

goodness is born in her; she doesn't

smile.

CHAPTER X-continued.

Elliot glanced at the woman behind
whose skirts the youngster was hid
ing. "She's not bad looking, If that's
what you mean," he said after they
had taken up the trail again.
'eYou amt the only white man that
has thought that" retorted the old
miner significantly.
"No?" Gordon had learned to let
Holt tell things at his leisure. 1t usu'
ally took less time than to try to hurry
him.
"Name Of the kid mean anything
to your"
"Can't say 1t did"
"H'mI Named for his dad. First
syllable Of each of his names"
The land inspector stopped In his
stride and wheeled upon Holt. "You
don't bean Colby Macdonald"
"Why don't II"
"But-Good Lord, he isn't squaw
man is he2"
"Not In the usual meaning Of the
word. She never cooked and kept
house for him. Just the same, little
Colmac is his kid. Couldn't you see

Mac met up with Meteetse when he
1rst secuted this country for coal FIVE
years ago. So fairs I know he was
square enough with the girl. She
never claimed he made any promises
or anything like that. He sends a
check down once a quarter to the
trader here for her and the kid"
But young Elliot was not thinking
about Meteetse. His minds eye saw
another picture-the girl at Kusiak,
listening spellbound to the tales of a
man whose actions translated romance
into life for her, q girl swept from the
quiet backwaters of an Irish village
to this land Of the midnight sun with
its amazing contrasts.

Obeying the orders of the general
In command, Peter took himself to his
den with the excuse that he had blue
prints to work over. Presently Diane
said she thought she heard one Of the
children crying and left to investigate.
The Scotsman strobe to the flreplaG6
and stood looking down into the glow
ing Goals. He seemed in no hurry to
break the silence and Sheba glanced
at his strong brooding face little APP
prehensively. She knew of only one
subject that would call for so formal
private talk between her and Mac
donald, and any discussion of this she
would very much have liked to post
pone.
He turned from the fire to Sheba. It
was Characteristic of him that he
plunged straight at what he wanted
to say.
'T've asked to see you alone, Miss
O'Neill, because want to make con-
feSsion and restitution-to begin
WITH" he told her abruptly.
She had sense of suddenly stilled
pulses. "That sounds very serious"
The young woman smiled family.
His face Of chiseled granite masked
all emotion. 1t kept under lock and
key the insurgent impulses that moved
him when he looked into the sloe eyes
charged with reserve. Back of them,
he felt, was the mystery of purity, of
maidenhood. He longed to know her
better, to find out and to appropriate
for himself the woman that lay behind
the fine veil of flesh. She seemed to
him delicate as flame and as vivid.
There would come a day when her In
nocent, passional nature would re-

those of Macdonald. "If he felt you
