the miner eomplacently.
He had q right to be proud Of the

the North. It had run second for two
years in the Alaska sweepstakes to
Macdonald's great Siberian wolf
hounds. The leader. Butch. was the
hero Of q dozen races and Q hundred
savage fights.

"The whole outfit must have cost a

At all costs he must protect them.
His forearm came up with jerk.

to forget the charms Of other women.
The faint feminine perfume Of her was
waited to his brain. He felt q besieg-
ing Of the blood.
Stepping behind the chair In which
she sat, he tilted back the head of lus-
trous bronze, and veEy deliberately
kissed her on the lipa.
For moment she gave herself to
his embrace. then pushed him back,
rose, and walked across the room to q
little table. With fingers that trembled

strong carnal appeal to him, but there
was between them, too, . close bond
Of the spirit. He made no apologies,
no explanation.
Presently she turned and looked ut
him. Only the deeper color beneath
her eyes betrayed any excitement.
"Unless I'm bad prophet you'll ret
the answer you want when Sheba
comes back. Colby"
He thought her reply to his indis-
cretion superb. It admitted COM
plicity, reproached, warned and at the
same time ignored. Never before had
she called him by his given name. He
took 1t as a token Of forgiveness and
renunciation.
Why was it not Genevieve Mallory
that he wanted to marry1 The mine
owner carried with him back to his
ONCE a sense Of the futile irony of
life. A score of men would have liked
to marry Mrs. Mallory. She had all
the sophisticated graces of life and
much Of the natural charm Of an un-
usually attractive personality. He had
only to speak the word to win her, and
his fancy had flown in pursuit of lit
tie Puritan with no knowledge Of the
world.
In front of the Seattle & Kusiak EN-
porium the Scotsman stopped. A lit
tie man who had his back to him was
bargaining for team Of huskies. The
man turned, and Macdonald recognized
him.
'tHello, Gid. Aren't you of your
usual beat a bitr' he asked.
The little miner looked him over i'm
pudently. "Well-welli If 1t amt the
big mogul himself-and wantin' to
know II I've got. permission to travel
of the reservation"
II reckon you travel where you want
to, Gid-same as do"
"Maybeso. shouldn't wonder II
you'd find out quite soon enough what
I'm doing here. You never can, tell"
the old man retorted with a manner
that concealed volumes.
Those who were present remembered
the words and in the light Of what took
place later thought them significant.
Anyhow, 1t is quite a social event
for Kusiak," Macdonald suggested
with smile Of irony.
Without more words Holt turned
back to his bargaining. The big Scots
man went on his way, remembered
that he wanted to see the cashier Of
the bank which he controlled, and
promptly forgot that old Gid existed.
The old man concluded his purchase
and drove up to the hotel behind one
of the best dog teams in Alaska.
Gideon asked a question Of the por-
ter.

there" the man answered, pointing to

"Oh, you, seven-eighteen-n

Elliott appeared at the window.

Mrs. Wally was satisfied as she bade
her guests good-by and saw them pass
into the heavy snow that was again
falling. They all assured her that
there had not been 20 hilarious party

One old-timer, triHe lit up by rea-
son Of too much hospitality, phrased
his enjoyment a little awkwardly.
ITS been great, Mrs. Selfridge.
Nothing like it since the days Of the

Mrs. Mallory hastily suppressed an
internal smile and stepped into the
breach. "How do you do itT' she
asked her hostess enviously.
my dear, II you say It was q sue
cess"
'What else could one sayr
Genevieve Mallory always preferred
to tell the truth when 1t would do Just
az well Now 1t did better, since it
contributed to her own ironic sense Of
amusement. Macdonald had once told
hsr that Mrs. sslfridgs made him think
Of the saying. Monkey sees, monkey
does" The ehervescent little woman
had never had an original idea In her
life.
Most Of those who had been at the
dance slept late. They were obatvious
Of the fact that the storm had quick
ened again into q bowling gale. Nor
did they know the two bits Of news
that were passing up and down the
main street and being telephoned from
house to house. One Of the items was
that the stage for Katma had failed to
reach the roadhouse at Smiths Cross

Macdonald was no sluggard. It was
his habit not to let the pleasure of the
night before interfere with the busi-

darkness he oversight and let the town
