from sight like nestlings under

"Of course not" agreed Tunstal
genially. "Who wants to prove it?
And anyway. the commodity is still

"What would they be doing here?"

Tunstal, learned in wickedness.

them and found they had been
locked as we'll. No one came, no
one called. And the garden drowsed
in the warmth Of a forenoon bril-
liant, heavy scented, tropical. j..
The last Tunstal remembered was
ravlng back and forth within those
four walls with useless gun in his
! fist and the pitiless sun beating upon
/ his head.
THERE is no tradition of the
| mercantile marine that pro-
vides for following for for
tunes Of travellers who step ashore
to enjoy the scenery or other ben
efits. But a traveller who carries
an important letter of credit and a
through passage ticket may present
something Of an exception. In the
early evening of the Lombock's stay
at the port by the river mouth her
first mate found time and occasion
for cryptic word with her captain
And the captain was exceeding
wroth, for the Lonbock would finish
her lading on the ebb, and he had
no mind to miss a tide.
"Who d'y'say? Him? Not back
yet, d'y'say? Well, what's that to
me? Have I got to dry nurse every
glorified pup of globe trotter that
takes a sanctifcd notion to soak
hisself?"
Nivin explained at some length.
"To hell with all passengers."
wished the captain then, a man of
strictly professional temper. "Here's
this little rat Van Goor been devilin'
me all day about the grub we fed
his blessed coolies in the tween
decks. He says he'll lose a weeks
labor off the lot before they're fit

on. II your blighters such fool

So Nivin came ashore at dusk to
wander through the same streets and
alleys to which he had directed an
others erring steps at dawn.
" 4 E SOUGHT a handsome young

colored silk and a dove-rrav

Nivin's fear. More likely to be

boatman remembered landing the
white tuan from the Lombock, and
there was plain testimony that he
had purchased bottle of arrack for
three dollars and half Singapore

evaporated. Apparently the person

A. H. Favour, of the firm of Favour 6 Cornick of Prescott, who recently bought the Prescott Courier, was a visitor in Holbrook Friday. He was accompanied by his family. They haue been hav- ing an outing up in the White Mountains, fishing. etc. Mr. Favour, while calling at the of- flee of the Holbrook Tribune, stated that they are we'll satisfied with their purchase of the Couri- CT from Colonel Rogers and have arranged with a competent man to take entire charge of the insti- tuition.

he loved her not as a brother, but it was sweet torture he could not bear to give up So the time slipped by and he went on with his work as an officer of police.
 But there was danger that he had not counted on. For there lived in this settlement on the edge of civilization a mysterious Chinaman, fugitive fross his own country, a gambler and dealer in vice, Shan Tung, the crafty oriental. He had a memory like a photographic plate, and once an impression was made it was never forgotten. And Shan Tung knew John Keith, but kept silent.
 Lived in the settlement Miriam Kirk stone, the daughter of Judge Kirkstone, of whose murder John Keith stood ac- cused. And the snaky oriental presumed to fall in love with this beautiful white girl and it was to the hold he had on John Keith that he looked to win his prize.
 STRANGE CHINESE SPELL
 For some mysterious reason Miriam Kirkstone was under the spell of this Chinaman. She loathed and abhorred him; but the Chinaman was known to visit her home and she seemed unable to resist his summonses-and Miriam Birthstone had turned to Keith for aid ain freeing her from the tolls of the Chinaman. But she withheld something from him that he could not fathom.
 Keith, for a long time, saw no way to help this girl, but came the day when Shan Tung bade him to come to his den. He felt that the crisis had come and he was not mistaken, for Shan Tung blunt ly told him that he must deliver the white girl into his power. or he would reveal his secret.
 STUNNED BY A BLOW
 Keith saw only one way out His atls tomatic leaped from his holster, but the room suddenly filled with Chinese. Keith emptied his revolver, and Chinamen lay about the floor. He seized a chair and wielded it with all his force. But there were men clinging to his body and his legs. He felt stinging blow on the back of his head, and his senses reeled.
 Suddenly there was cry of fire. flame spurted up, and the Chinese fled in terror. Keith staggered to window and dropped to tre street, making his way to Conniston's home
 His life was over, he thought. It was

John Keith peered out of the little log hut at the snow waste that stretched miles and miles to the horizon, and hesi- tated. For two long years he had seen nothing but arctic snows, no one but h. dians-in that bitter chase in the frozen northland relentlessly pursued by an &- ficer of the Royal Mounted, who had sworn that he should hang for murder.
 Now the chase was at an end; his pursuer was dead of a frost-bitten lung' and buried under the floor of the cabin. where the wolves would not find him.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-05-23

And John Keith was clad in the dead mans clothess the uniform of the Royal Mounted
 As his captor lay dying John Keith had won his confidence; he had con- vinced him that he was innocent, or justified in the killing of which he was accused.
 TO WIN, OR LOSE
 It was the dying man, who bore a remarkable resemblance to Keith, who had urged him to return to civilization under his name and dying he said, You win or lose when the chief first sets eyes on. you"
 Would he win, or lose? Keith again raised his eyes to the snow wastes, and knew that in that direction lay mad ness. His will might keep his tortured brain from totterng for time, but Keith knew that eventually white man in mo mans land went mad. It was worth the chance, and he turned to the southward.
 Keith took his inspection and the questioning of the keen-eyed chief with out flinching. He had reported his own death; he had passed the critical stage. for he was not recognized.
 As Commission of the Royal Mounted he went to the dead mans cabin, but there a surprise awaited him. For Con nlSJOn ndu nos IOtu nun nb ntt d SiSltls as Commission had been informed by his own people with whom he had quarreled, that she was dead. But she was there, waiting for the brother she had not seen since she was child.
 She flew straight to his arms, this slip of a girl, and as she clung to him the fragrance of her hair made his senses reel It was the first woman caress he had known in years, and Keith, the man of iron, who had looked death in the face and laughed, Keith, the masquera- der, the man wanted for murder, was shaken to his soul.
 LOVED HER INSTANTLY
 For Keith knew instantly that he loved this girl, and the horror of the part he was playing unnerved him. He determined to tell her all and then quit the world of civilization forever. But as the hours passed and then the days and weeks, Keith could not bring himself to the point of undeceiving her.

 Conniston's sister alone. and told ail
 She was silent, stunned, and Keith
 crept into his room, opened the window,
 and was off once more for the sn~w
 wastes to face starvation, madness-and
 the soul within him was bitter.
 But there was found in the smoking
 ruins of the Chinese den Peter Kirk
 stone, the missing son of the murdered judge, a man shaken with drugs, dying
 from burns And Peter Birthstone knew
 something and told it. And Conniston
 sister heard his dying statement that
 cleared all the deep mystery, and she
 looked towards the northland where John Keith had fled.
 An unusual and quaint form of plot ting is one of the more intensely inter- esting features of ''The Rivers End. The introductory scenes of the film find John Keith, haunted for years by the murder of Judge Kirkstone, captured by Herwent Commission of the Canadian Mounted Police. A striking resemblance between the two men in build and faclai characteristics leads the officer, when suddenly stricken with a fatal disease, to urge Keith to impersonate him and return to the post with an account or Keith's death.
 Shan Tung a crafty Chinaman at the post, alone suspects Keith of the lmper- sonation and threatens to divulge the se- cret unless Keith influences Miriam Kirkstone the murdered mans daughter to marry him.
