AS a factor in the affairs of the
world, William Hohenzollern is dead.
His dream of conquest and world pow
err did not come true. His theory of
autocratic government has been blast
ed. His war Of frightfulness and bru-
tally has been lost. To escape the
wrath and punishment of deceived
and once devoted people, this modern
Cain has fled to neutral country
for protection. Whatever punishment
he may receive will not be too severe,
No pain, no sorrow, no penalty, no
horror, yet inflicted upon man, OF
yet to be conceived, seems adequate
in this particular case, save that
which comes in the Great Beyond.

Sheba drew the canvas back over the
face Of the dead man. As she followed
Macdonald back to the trail, tears filed
her eyes. She was remembering that
the white. stinging death that had
crept upon these men SO swiftly had
missed her by a hairs breadth. The
strong, lusty life had been stricken
out Of the big Cornishman and prob
ably Of his partner in crime. Perhaps
they had left mothers or wives or
sweethearts to mourn them.

than that" he said contemptuously
"You can throw husky through the

for instance. that Miss O'Nein was not

The same way you could a. known

to Smiths Crossin' and found the

a whale Of storm up in the hills.s
Macdonald set his face. you're
lying to me. You stumbled over the
stage while you were making your get

alibi."
Elliot had risen. Sheba stood beside
him. her hand in his. She spoke quietly.
TITS the truth. Believe It or not as
you please. We care nothing about
that"
The stab Of her eyes, tho carriage Of
the slim, plant figure with it's sugges-
ton Of fine sallantry, challenged her
former lover to do his worst.
On the battered face Of Gordon was
a smile. So long as his Irish sweet
heart stood by him he did not care II
he were charged with high treason. 1t
was worth all 1t cost to feel the
warmth Of her brave, impulsive trust.
The deep-set eyes Of Macdonald
clinched with those of his rival. 'sYou
cached the rest Of the gold, suppose" :"
he said deggedly.
With a Tilt Of his shoulders the
younger man answered lightly: There
are none so blind as those who will not
see, Mr.. Macdonald" He turned to
Sheba. "Come. We must make break
fast"
you're going to Kusiak with me-"
his enemy said bluntly.
"After we have eaten, Mr.. Macdon-
ald." returned Elliot with an ironic
1bow. "Perhaps, If you have not had
breakfast yet, you will Join u.s.

nounced the mine-owner curtly, and he
turned on his heel.
The rifle lay where Sheba had
dropped 1t when she ran to gather her
stricken lover into her arms. Macdon-
aid picked 1t up and strobe over the
brow Of the hill without backward
look. He was too proud to stay and
watch them. It was impossible to es-
cape him in the deep snow that filed
the hill trails, and he was convinced
they would attempt nothing of the
kind.
The Scotsman felt for the first time
In his life old and spent. Under tre-
mendous difficulty he had mushed for
two days and had at last run his men
down. The lust Of vengeance had sat
on his shoulders every mile of the way
and had driven him feverishly for
ward. But the salt that had lent a
SAVIOR to his passion was gone. Even
though he won, he lost. For Sheba had
gone over to the enemy.
With the fierce willfulness Of his
temperament he tried to tread under
foot his doubts about the guilt Of Holt
and Elliot. Success had made him
arrogant and he was not good loser.

and while you are there forget that
there are going to be crying babies
and nursemaids with evenings out In
that golden future of yours.
"Come along, Sheba. Wen start now
on the golden trail,. said Elliot.
She walked as II she loved 1t. Her
long, slender legs moved rhythmically
and her arms swung true as pendu-
lums.
The moon was all that Diane had
promised. Sheba drank 1t in happily.

swell, and was there ever a more
beautiful night before?"
He thought not, but he had not the
words to tell her that for him its
beauty lay largely in her presence. Her
passionate love of things fine and
brave transformed the universe for
him. 1t was enough for him to be near
her, to hear the laughter bubbling In
her throat, to touch her crisp, blue
black hair as he adjusted the scarf
about her head.
"God made the night" he replied.
$50 that's Christian thought as well
as pagan one."
They were no exception to the rule
that lovers are egoists. The world for
them tonight divided itself into two
classes. One included Sheba O'Nein
and Gordon Elliot; the other took in
the uninteresting remnant Of humanity.
No matter how far afield their talk be-
gan, 1t always came back to them
selves. They wanted to know all about
each other, to compare experiences
and points Of view. But time fed too
fast for words. They talked-as lovers
will to the end Of time-in exclama-
tions and the meeting Of eyes and lit
tie endearments.
When Diana and Peter found them
on the hillside, Sheba protested, with
her half-shy, half-audacious smile, that
1t could not be two hours since she
and Gordon had left the living room.
Peter grinned. He remembered hill.

The only wedding present that Mac
donald sent Sheba was a long envelope
with two documents attached by a clip.
One was from the 'Kusiak Sun. It an
nounced that the search party had
found the body Of Northrup with the
rest Of the stolen gold beside him. The
other was a copy Of legal document
Its effect was that the district attorney
had dismissed all charges pending
against Gordon Elliot.
Although Macdonald lost the coal
claims at Kamatlah by reason Of the
report Of Elliot, all Alaska still be-
lieves that he was right. In that coun-
try Of strong men he stands head and
shoulders above his fellows. He has
the fortunate gift Of commanding the
admiration Of friend and foe alike.

greatest Of his slaves. but she tries not
to let him know how much he has CAP

Macdonald cannot quite understand,
herself, how so elemental an emotion

her sophistication.

He hated the man who had robbed him
OF Sheba, but he could not escape re-
specting him. Elliot had fought until
he had been hammered down into un-
consciousness and he had crawled to
his feet and stood erect with the smile
Of the unconquered on his lips. Was
this the sort Of man to murder in cold
blood kindly old gentleman who had
never harmed himf
The only answer Macdonald found
was that Milton had taken him and
his partner BY surprise. They had
been driven to shoot the .ishier to

another had nred the actual shots, but
