the land. Here it had been day for a
long time, ever since the summer sun,
hidden for while behind the low, dis
tant hills, had come blazing forth again
in q saddle between two peaks.
Gordon had reduced his pack by dis
carding a blanket, the frying-pan, and
all the clothing he was not wearing.
His rifle lay behind him In the swamp.
He had cut to a minimum of safety
what he was carrying, according to his
Judgment. But before long his last
blanket was flung aside. He could not
afford to carry an extra pound, for he
knew he was running race, the stakes
Of which were life and death.
Afternoon found him still staggering
forward. The swamps were now be-
hind him. He had Won through at last
by the narrowest margin possible. The
ground was rising sharply toward the
mountains. Across the range some
where lay Kamatlah. But he was all
in. With his food almost gone, wa
ter supply uncertain, reserve strength
exhausted, the chances Of getting over
the divide to safety were practically
none.
He had come, so far an he could see,
to the end of the passage.

CHAPTER VIII.
Gid Holt Goes Prospecting.

AS soon as Selfridge reached Kamat.
lab he began arranging the stage
against the arrival of the government
agent. His preparations were elab-
crate and thorough. A young engineer
named Rowland had been In charge Of
the development work, but Wally re-
arranged his forces so as to let each
dummy entryman handle the claim en-
tered In his name. One or two men
about whom he was doubtful he dis
charged and hurried out of the camp.
The company boarding house became
restaurant. above which was sus-
pended newly painted sign with the
legend, "San Francisco Grill, ]. Glynn,
Proprietor" The store also passed
temporarily into the hands OF Its mana
ger. Miners moved from the barracks
that had been built by Macdonald into
hastily constructed cabins on the In
dividual claims. Wally had always
fancied himself as stage manager for
amateur theatricals. Now he justified
his faith by transforming Kamatlah
outwardly from company camp to a
mushroom one settled by wandering
prospectors.
Gideon Holt alone was outside of all
these activities and watched them with
suspicion. He was an old-timer, sly
but fearless, who hated Colby Macdon-
aid with q bitter jealousy that could
not be placated and he took no pains
to hide the fact. He had happened to
be in the vicinity prospecting when
Macdonald had rushed his entries.
Partly out of mere perversity and part
ly by reason Of native shrewdness, old
Holt had slipped In and located one Of
the best claims In the heart Of the
group. Nor had he been moved by per-
suasion, threats or tentative offers to
buy REIMBURSEMENT. Ele was obsti-

CHAPTER Vl--Continued.

The latter lady, Paris-shod and
gloved, shook hands smilingy with the
Scotch Canadian. "Of course we're
sntruders in business hours, though
you'll tell us we're not" she suggested.
sT'ye Just been reading the Transcon-
finental Magazine. A writer there says

are you only big gambler?"
He met her raillery without the least
embarrassment.
"Sure / gamble. Every time take
a chance I'm gambling. So does every
body else. We've got to take chances
to live"
"How true, and I never thought of
It." beamed Mrs. Selfridge. "What q

slipped his arms through the Sits he
had made. Painfully he labored for
ward over the quiyering peat. Some
times he stumbled and went down into
the oozlng mud, minded to stay there
and be done with the struggle. But
the urge Of life drove him to his feet
again. 1t carried him for weary miles
after he despaired of ever covering
another hundred yards.
With old. half-forgotten signals from
the football field he spurred his will.
Perhaps his mind was already begin
ming to wander, though through II all
he held steadily to the direction that
alone could save him.
When at last he went down to stay II
was in an exhaustion so complete that
not even his indomitable will could
lash him to his feet again. For an
hour he lay In stupor, never stirring
even to fight the swarm of mosquitoes
that buzzed about him.
Toward evening he sat up and undid
the pack from his back. The matches
in tin box wrapped carefully with
oilskin, were still perfectly dry. Soon
he had fire going and coffee boiling
in the frylng-pan. From the tin cup he
carried strung on his belt he drank
the coffee. 1t went through him like
strong liquor. He warmed some beans
and fried himself slice of bacon
sopping up the grease with cold bis
cult left over from the day before.
Again he slept for few hours. Ht

CHAPTER VII.
The End of the Passage.


Wally Selfridge was reliable bust
ness subordinate, even though he had
slipped up in the matter Of the ap-
pointment of Elliot. But when 1t came
to facing the physical hardships of the
North he was a malingerer. The Ka-
matlah trip had to be taken because
his chief had ordered it, but the little
man shirked the journey in his heart
just as he knew his soft muscles would
shrink from the aches of the trail.
The part of the journey to be made
by water was not so bad. Left to his
own judgment, he would have gone to
st. Michael's by boat and chartered q
small steamer for the long trip along
the coast through Boring sea. But this
would take time, and Macdonald did
not mean to let him waste day. He
was to leave the river boat at the big
bend and pack across country to Ka-
matlah. 1t would be a rough, heavy
trail. The mosquitoes would be con-
tinual torment. The cooking would
be poor. And at the end of the long
trek there awaited him monotonous
months In a wretched coal camp far
from all the comforts of civilization.
No wonder he grumbled.
But though he grumbled at home and
at the club and on the street about his
coming exile, Selfridge made no COM
plants to Macdonald. That man of
steel had no sympathy with the yearn-
ings for the fleshpots. He was used
to driving himself through discom-
fort to his end, and he expected as
much of his deputies. Wherefore
Wally took the boat at the time sched-
uled and waved dismal farewell to
wife and friends assembled upon the
wharf.
Elliot said good-by to the Pagets
and Miss O'Nelll ten days later. Diane
was very frank with him.
II hear you've been sleuthing around,
Gordon, for facts about Colby Macdon-
aid. don't know what you have heard
about him, but hope you've got the
sense to see how big man he is and
how much this country here owes
him."
Gordon nodded agreement. eyes,
he's big man."
"And he's good" added Sheba eager
Iy. "He never talks Of 1t, but one
finds out splendid things he has DONE"
The young man smiled, but not at all
superciliously. He liked the stanch
faith of the girl In her friend, even
though his Investigations had not led
him 90 accept goodness as the out
standing quality of the Scotsman.
'T dent know what we would do
without him." Diane went on. "Give

"The Kusiak chamber of commerce

young man.
"Oh, wellP Diane Joined In his

gamblers at the dropping-off place"
She moved with slow grace toward
the door, then over her shoulder
flashed q sudden invitation at him.
"Mrs. Selfridge and are doing little
betting today, Big Chief Gambler.
We're backing our luck that you two
men will eat lunch with us at the Blue
Bird inn. Do we VIM"
Macdonald reached for his hat
promptly. "You win."

nate. He knew a good thing when he
had it, and be meant to sit tight.
The adherents of the company might
charge that Holt was cracked in the
upper story, but none of them denied
he was sharp as street arab. He
guessed that all this preparation was
not for nothing. Kamatlah was being
dressed up TO impress somebody who
would shortly arrive. The first thought
of Holt was that group of big capt.
tallsts might be coming to look over
their investment. But he rejected this
surmlse. There would be no need to
try any deception upon them.
Mail from Seattle reached camp once

stove TO read one of the newspapers he
had brought from the office, 1t was
