1t was In this charge that our chap

we were lined up, waiting to climb on
to the fire step and then over the par

line speaking to each man as he went.
He would not say much, but just a
few words, and then make the sign of
the cross. He was in q black cassock.
He was just one man from me as
we got the word and stood up on the
fire step. He was not armed with as
much as a pin, but he Jumped up on

Chapter XXI Continued

Elliot and Sheba were to start early
for Kusiak and later the rescue party
would arrive to take care of Holt and
Mrs. Olson.
"Time to turn in" Holt advised.
'YOu better light that stove, Elliot"
The young man was still in the tent
arranging the sleeping bags when She
ba entered. He tried to walk out with
out touching her, intending to call
back his goodnight. But he could not
do 1t. There was something fancy
about her tonight that went to his
head. Her tender, tremulOus little
smile and the turn of her buOyant
little head stirred in him a lovers
rhapsody
'It's to be a long trail we cover to-
morrow, Sheba. You must sleep. Good
night"
"GoOd night-Gordon."
There was a little flash of audacity
in the whimsical twist of her mouth.
1t was the first time she had ever
called him by his given name.
Elliot threw away prudence and
caught her by the hands.
"My dear-my dear" he cried.
She trembled to his kiss, gave her
self to his embrace with innocent pas
sion. Tendrils Of hair, fine as silk,
brushed his cheeks and sent strange
thrills through him.
They talked the incoherent language
of lovers that is compounded of MUIR
murs and silences and the touch Of
lips and the meetings of eyes. There
were to be other nights in their lives
as rich in memories as this, but never
another with quite the same delight.
Presently Sheba reminded him with
a smile of the long trail he had men,
toned. Mrs. Olson hustled into the tent,
and her presence stressed the point
"Good night neighbors," Gordon
called back from outside the tent.
Sheba's "Good night" echoed softly
back to him.
The girl fell asleep to the sound Of
the light breeze slapping the tent and
to the doleful bowling of the huskieS.

CHAPTER xxi.
A Message From the Dead.

- HSoSdJG lUG OCdOs
Macdonald drove his team into the
teeth of the storm. The wind came in
gusts. Sometimes the gale was so stiff
that the dogs could scarcely crawl for
ward against it; again there were mo-
ments of comparative stiffness, fol-
lowed by squalls that slapped the
driver in the face like the whipping of
a loose sail on a catboat.
High drifts made the trail difficult.
Not once but fifty times Macdonald
left the gee-pOle to break a way
through snOw-wayes for the sled. The
best he could get out of his dogs was
three miles an hour and he knew that
there was not another team or driver
in the North could have done so well.
It was close to noon when he reached
a division of the road known as, the
Fork. One trail ran down to the river
and up 1t to the distant creeks. The
other led across the divide, struck the
Yukon, and pointed a way to the coast.
White drifts had long since blotted out
the track of the sled that had pre-
ceded him. Had the fugitives gone up
the river to the creeks with intent to
hole themselves up for the winter? Or
was it their purpose to cross the divide
and go out over the ice to the coast?
The pursuer knew that Gid Holt was
wise as a weasel. He could follow
blindfolded the paths that led to every
creek in the gold-fields. 1t might be
taken as a certainty that he had not
plunged into such a desperate venture
without having plan well worked out
beforehand. Elliot had a high grade
of intelligence. Would they try to
reach the coast and make their get
away to Seattle? Or would they dig
themselves in till the heavy SHOWS
were past and come back to civiliZa-
ton with the story of lucky strike to
account for the gold they brought with
them? Neither gold dust nor nuggets
could be identified. There would be
no way of proving the story false. The
only evidence against them would be
that they had left at Kusiak and this
was merely of a corroborative kind.
There would be no chance of convict
ing them upon it.
To strike for Seattle was to throw
away all pretense of innocence. Fugi-
tives from justice, they would have to
disappear from sight in order to es-
cape. The hunt for them would con-
tinue until at last they were unearthed.
One fork of the road led to compara-
tive safety; the other went by devious
windings to the penitentiary and per-
haps the gallOws. The Scotsman put
himself in the place Of the men he was
trailing Given the same conditions,
he knew which path he would follow.
Macdonald took the trail that led
down to the river, to the distant gold
creeks which offered a refuge from
man-hunters in many a deserted cabin
marOoned by the deep SHOWS.
Even the iron frame and steel
muscles Of the Scotch Canadian pro-
tested against the task he had set them
The Snowflake herald., 1918-05-17

muscles with the blind lust of primOr-
dials to kill AS they clinched with
one arm, they struck savagely with the
other. The impact of smashing blows
on naked flesh sounded horribly cruel
to Sheba.
She ran forward, calling on each by
name to stop. Probably neither knew
she was there. Their whole attention
was focused on each other. Not for
an instant did their eyes wander, for

OWN YOUR
HOME

Mrs. Annie Nelson Of Tay-
lor deserves special mention
for her efforts and success in
saving which has enabled
her to own a home. Mrs.
Nelson is a careful, method
ical, systematic saver and by
placing her savings on depos-
it in this Bank enabled her
to further accumulate on her
earnings. We mention this
one instance because it is a
home affair, not a news story
from a foreign land. We
also mention this because we
want to impress upon our
people the important matter
of forming the habit of say
ing, not stinting, but intelli-
gent and systematic saving.
What Mrs. Nelson has done,
we say
Go Thou and do Likewise.
