Just a glance of appreciation from the clear-searching eyes, a word of thanks from the clear-ringing voice, just slight wreathing of the lips in the wonderful smile, and he walked with the gods for hours to come. It for the first time he thrilled with a conscious pride in his wisdom of the trail and between the twain they ever lifted the sinking hearts of their com rades.
 The faces of the two men and the woman frightened as they saw him, for after all he was the staff they lean- ed upon. But Sitka Charley, rigid as was his wont, coneealing pain and pleasure impartially beneath an iron exterior, asked them the welfare of the rest, told the distance to the fire, and continued on the back trip. Next he met a single Indian, unburdened, limping, lips compressed, and eyes set with the pain of a foot in which the quick fought a losing battle with the dead. All possible care had been ta- ken of him, but in the last extremity the weak and unfortunate must per ish, and Sitka Charley deemed his days to be few. The man could not keep up for long, so he gave him rough cheering words. After that came two more Indians, to whom he had allotted the task of helping along Joe, the third white man of the party. They had de serted him. Sitka Charley saw at q glance the lurking spring in their bod ies, and knew they had at last cast off his mastery. So he was not taken un- awares when he ordered them back in quest of their abandoned charge, and saw the gleam of the hunting knives that they drew from the sheaths. A pitiful spectacle. three weak men lift ing their puny strength in the face of the mighty vastness; but the two re- coiled under the fierce rife blows of the one, and returned like beaten dogs to the leash. Two hours later, with Joe reeling between them and Sitka Charley bringing up the rear, they came to the fire, where the remainder Of the eXpeulCon cfoucneu Ill lne Snel- ter of the fly.
 "A few words, my comrades, before we sleep" Sitka Charley said, after they had devoured their slim rations of unleavened bread. He was speaking to the Indians, in their own tongue, having already given the import to the whites. "A few words, my com rades, for your own good, that ye may yet perchance live. shall give you the law; on his own head be the death of him that breaks it.

North, unkissed by the chill Rps of the frost, and he watched and marveled at them twinkling ever through the weary day.
 She had always a smile and a word of cheer, from which not even the meanest> packer was excluded. AS the way grew darker she seemed to stiffen and gather greater strength, and when Kah-Chucte and Gowhee, who had bragged that they knew every land mark of the way as a child did the skin bales of the tepee, acknowledged that they knew not where they were, it was she who raised forgiving voice amid the curses of the men. She had sung to them that night, till they felt the weariness fall from them and were ready to face the future with fresh hope. And when the food failed and each scant stint was measured jealous ly, she it was who rebelled against the machinations of her husband and Sitka Charley, and demanded and re- ceived share neither greater nor less than that of the others.
 Sitka Charley was proud to know this woman. A new richness, greater breadth, had come into his life with her presence. Hitherto he had been his own mentor, had turned to right or left at no mans beck he had mould ed himself according to his own die tates, nourished his manhood regard less of all save his own opinion. For the first time he had felt call from without for the best that was in him.

bliss and brought him doddering to his feet. Then he showed him out upon the trail and started him on his way. The two Indians attempted to slip off.
 Hold, Gowheel And thou. too, Kah Chuctei Hath the flour given such strength to thy legs that they may out run the swift-winged lead? Think not to cheat the law. Be men for the last time, and be content that ye die full stomached. Come, step up, back to the timber, shoulder to shoulder. Come !"
 The two men obeyed, quietly, with out fear; for it is the future which presses upon the man, not the present.
 ''Thou, Gowhee hast wife and chil- dren and a deer-sktn lodge in the Chippewyan. What is thy will in the matter?"
 "Give thou her of the goods which are mine by the word of the captain the blankets, the beads, the tobacco, the box which makes strange sounds after the manner of the white man. Say that I did die on the trail, but say not how.'
 And thou, Kah-Chucte, who hast DO wife nor child?"
 'NIine is a sister, the wife of the Factor at Koshim. He beats her, and she is not happy. Give thou her the goods which are mine by the contract, and tell her it were well she go back to her own people. Shouldst thou meet the man, and be so minded, it were | good deed that he should die. He beats her, and she is afraid"
 Are ye content to die by the law?"
 .We are"
 "Then good-by, my good comrades. May ye sit by the well-flled pot, in warm lodges, ere the day is done."
 As he spoke, he raised his rifle, and many echoes broke the silence. Hard ly had they died away. when other rifles spoke in the distance. Sitka Charley started. There had been more than one shot, yet there was but one : other rifle in the party. He gave 6 fleeting glance at the men who lay SC quietly, smiled viciously at the wisdom of the trail. and hurried on to meet the men of the Yukon.

RED GROSS MAKES
 REPORT IN DETAIL
INCARNATION ACCOUNTS FOR MONEY WHICH WAS EN-
 TRUSTED TO IT.
CRITICISMS ARE ANSWERED
To Date ,45o,727.35- Has Been Ap- propriated For Relief Work in This Country and Abroad-No Civilian
 Distress in This Country.

Washington. - What the American Red Cross has done with the vast sums of money entrusted to it by the people of the United States is stated in detail in a report just issued by the national headquarters. To date, $79,- 450, 0,727.35 has been appropriated for relief work in this country and abroad.
 For foreign relief S44,657,79 has been appropriated as follows: France, $30,513, ,259.60; Belgium, $1,999,631; Russia, $751 1,940.87; Roumania, $2,617,- 39876; Italy, $3,146,016; Serbia, $871,- 1S0.76; Great Britain, $1,703,642; other foreign countries, $2,536,3 300; Ameri- can soldiers who may be taken pris- oner, $343627.
 The foregoing appropriations are from the time the United States en- tered the war until April 30, 1918. For the United States the Red Cross has has appropriated $2,612, ,532.60 and the reason this sum is not large is be- cause the government provides nearly everything our army and navy needs and besides, there is no civilian dis tress in this country of any consider able proportions.
 The great variety of the military and civilian relief work being done by the Red Cross is indicated briefly in the following list: canteens that af- ford food, baths, and sleeping quarters for men at the front; rest stations and recreation centers for soldiers in tran sit and at port of arrival in France; care of destitute children furnishing supplies to 4000 hospitals: teaching mutilated soldiers new trades; recon struction of villages; bringing toSeth- CT families of soldiers scattered by the war; farms for conyaIescent soldiers; sanitariums for tubercular and other patients; food, clothing, medicine, and shelter for the homeless and desti- ute; and other activities too numer- ous to mention.
 It is stated by the national war council that all salaries and admins tratiye expenses are paid cut of mem bership dues, so that every penny given to the Red Cross war fund has been spent for relief. This answers the rumors that have been circulated about the expenses of operation.
 Out of 255 executives ill the four teen divisional offices of the Red Cross in the United Seates, 59 per cent are women. The policy is to select the most competent person regardless of politics, sex or religion.
