dilated and her body grew rigid.
Across the snow waste q man was
coming. He was moving toward the
cabin and must cross the trench close
to her. The heart Of the girl stopped,
then beat wildly to make up the lost
stroke. He had come through the bliz-
card to save her.
At that very instant, as il the stage
had been set for 1t, the wonderful
Alaska sun pushed up into the crotch
OF the peaks and poured Its radiance
over the Arctic waste. The pink glow

Nature had brought them together by
one of her resistless and unpremedi-

A stress Of emotion had swept her
into his arms. Now she drew away
from him shyly. The conventions I'm

ed themselves. An absurd little fear
obtruded itself into her happiness. Had
she rushed into his arms like love-
sick girl, taking it for granted that he
cared for her?
"You-came to look for usT' she
asked, with the little shy stiffness Of
embarrassment.
"For you-yes."
He could not take his eyes from her.
It seemed to him that bird was sing

not express. He had for many hours

CHAPTER xIx--contInued-


So far the mind of the Scotsman fol-
lowed the probabilities logically, but
lat this point 1t made a Jump. There
were at least two robbers. He was
morally sure Of that, for this was not
n one-man job. Now, II Holt had with
him companion, who Of all those In
Kusiak was the most likely mani He
Since coming to Kusiak old Gideon had
been seen constantly with one man.
They had been with each other at din
ner and had later left the hotel to-
gether. The name of the man who had
been SO friendly with old Holt was
Gordon Elliot-and Elliot not only was
another enemy of Macdonald, but had
very good reasons for getting out of
the country just now.
The strong jaw Of the mine-owner
stood out saliently as he gave short,
sharp orders to men In the crowd. One
was to get the coroner, second Wally
Selfridge, another the United States
district attorney. He divided the rest
into squads to guard the roads leading
out Of town and to see that nobody
passed for the present.
The coroner took charge of the body
and Wally of the bank. The mine
owner and the district attorney walked
up to the hotel together. AS soon as
they had explained what they wanted,
the landlord got a passkey and took
them to the room Holt had used.
Apparently the bed had been slept
N. In the waste-paper basket the dis
trict attorney found something which
ne held up in a significant silence.
Macdonald stepped forward and took
from him small cloth sack.
"One Of those we keep our gold in
Mt the bank" said the Scotsman after
a close examination. ".This definitely
ties up Holt with the robbery. Now
for Elliott
He left the hotel with Holt about
nve this morning, the porter says"
This was the contribution of the land
lord.
The room of Gordon Elliot was in
great disorder. Garments had been
tossed on the bed and on every chair
and had been left to lie wherever they
had CHANGED to fall. Plainly their
owner had been in great haste.
Macdonald looked through the closet
where clothes hung. His new fur
coat Is not here-nor his trail boots
Looks to me as though Mr.. Gordon had
hit the trail with his friend Holt"
All doubt Of this was removed when
. prospector reached town with the
news that he had met Holt and Elliot
travelling toward the divide as fast as
they could drive the dogs.
The big Scotsman ordered his team
Of Siberian wolf-hounds made ready
for the trail. AS he donned his heav.
furs, Colby Macdonald smiled with
deep satisfaction. He had Elliot on
the run at last.
Just as he closed the door of his
room, Macdonald heard the telephone
bell ring. He hesitated, then shrugged
his shoulders and strobe out into the
storm. If he had answered the call
he would have learned from Diane,
who was at the other end of the line,
that the stage upon which Sheba had
started for Katma had not reached the
roadhouse at Smiths Crossing.
Five minutes later the winners of
the great Alaska sweepstakes were

forty pounds to the dog, for they want
ed to make speed 1t was not cold for
Alaska. They packed their fur coats
on the sled and wore mittens of
moosehide with duffel lining, on their
feet mukluks above German" socks.
Holt had been a sour-dough miner too
long to let his partner perspire from
overmuch clothing. He knew the dan
ger of pneumonia from a sudden cool
ing of the heat of the body.
Old Gideon took seven Of his dogs,
driving them two abreast. Six were
huskies, rangy, muscular animals with
thick, dense coats. They were in the
best Of spirits and carried their tails
erect like their Malemute leader.
Butch, though a Malemute, had a
strong strain of collie in him. 1t gave
him a sense Of responsibility. His bus
mess was to see that the team kept
strung out on the trail, and Butch was
a postmaster in the matter of disci-
pline. His weight was SO fighting
pounds, and he could thrash in short
order any dog in the team.
The snow was wet and soft. It chung
to everything it touched. The dogs
carried pounds of it in the tufts Of
hair that rose from their backs. An
| Icy pyramid had to be knocked from
| the sled every half-hour. The snow
shoes were heavy with white slush.
| Densely laden spruce boughs brushed
the faces of the men and showered
them with unexpected little ava
| lancheS
They took turns in going ahead Of
the team and breaking trail. 1t was
heavy, muscle-grinding work. Before
noon they were both utterly fatigued.
They dragged forward through the
slush, lifting their laden feet sluggish
ly. They must keep going, and they
did, but it seemed to them that every
step must be the last.
Shortly after noon the storm wore
itself out. The temperature had been
steadily falling and now it took rapid
drop. They were passing through tim.
Der, and on little slope they built
with good deal of difficulty fire.
BY careful nursing they soon had a
great bonfire going, In front of which
they put their wet socks, mukluks,
scarfs and parkas to dry. The toes of
the dogs had become packed with little
ice balls. Gordon and Holt had to go
carefully over the feet of each animal
to dig these out.
The old-timer thawed out a slab of
dried salmon till the fat began to
frizzle and fed each husky pound of
the fish and lump of tallow. He and
Gordon made pot of tea and ate some
meat sandwiches they had brought
with them, to save cooking until night.
When they took the trail again it
was in moccasins instead of mukluks.
The weather was growing steadily
colder, and with each degree of fall in
the thermometer the trail was easier.
"Mushing at fifty below zero is all
right when it is all right" explained
Cleveland County herald., 1918-05-02

the kind Of fool love, Mr.. Holt. I
think 1t was just fine of you, and I'll
never forget 1t as long as / live"
Mrs. Olson had cooked too long I'm
lumber and mining camps not to know
something about bone setting. Under
her direction Gordon made splints and
helped her bandage the broken leg.
Sheba cooked an appetizing breakfast.
The aroma Of coffee and the smell Of
frying bacon stimulated appetites that
needed no tempting.
Holt, propped up by blankets, ate
with the others. For a good many
years he had taken his luck as it came
with philosophic endurance. Now he
wasted no time in mourning what
could not be helped. He was lucky
the ice slide had not hit him In the
head. A broken leg would mend.

Trouble With Wounded Soldiers.

"Delmas remarks" says Annales do
Medicine, that as soon as the soldier
enters the hospital he steps out Of mil.
itary discipline, and yet the hospital
authorities have no jurisdiction over
him. He can accept or refuse opera.
tions. injections Of drugs, etc, at his
own will. But almost invariably the
wounded or sick soldier absolutely
trusts his surgeon or physician as long
as no foreign element Uodifies his
grateful confidence"
He further goes on to sag that two
elements may interfere, one the fear
Of pain or anesthetics nnd the other
unwillingness to be cured and return
to military duty, and calls the latter
cases desertion. In either case pres.
sure is brought to bear in the way OF
pension considerations or the return
ing of the refractory patient to his reg
iment for disciplinary measures.
