Into little hollow in the bark, on
the underside Of the log, some hand
mad thrust small roll Of papers.
Ihey were rain-soaked now, and the
ink had dimmed and blotted but Dan
realized their significance They were
the complete evidence that Hildreth
had accumulated against the arson
ring-letters that had passed back and
forth between himself and Cranston,
threat Of murder from the former if
H1ldreth turned states evidence, and
signed statement Of the arson activ-
tiles of the ring by Hildreth himself.

In the meantime the best thing to
do was to move at once to his winter
trapping grounds-a certain neglected
region On the lower levels Of the North
Fork. If at any time within the next
few weeks, Dan should attempt to
carry word down to the settlements.
he would be certain to pass within
view Of his camp. But he knew that
the chance Of Dan starting upon any
such journey before the snow had
melted was not one in a thousand. To
be caught in the Divide in the winter
means to be showed in as completely
as the Innuits of upper Greenland. No
word could pass except by man ON
snOwshoeS.
Yet if the chance did come, If the
house should be left unguarded, it
might pay Cranston to make an i'm
mediate search. Dan would have NO
reason for supposing that Cranston
suspected his possession of the let
tiers; he would not be particularly
watchful, and would probably pigeon
hole them until spring in Lennox's
desk.
And the truth was that Cranston
had reasoned out the situation almost
perfectly. When Dan awakened in
the morning, and the snow lay already
a foot deep over the wilderness world,
he knew that he would have no chance
to act upon the Cranston case until
the SHOWS melted in the spring. So
he pushed all thought Of it out of his
mind and turned his attention to more
pleasant subjects. 1t was true that he
read the documents over twice as he
lay in bed. Then he tied them into a
neat packet and put them away where
they would be quickly available Then
he thrust his head out of the window
and let the great snowfakes sift down
upon his face. It was winter at last,
the season that he loved.
He didn't stir from the house that
first day Of the storm. Snowbird and
he found plenty of pleasant things to
do and talk about before the roaring
fire that he built in the crate. He was
glad Of the great pile of wood that
lay outside the door. It meant life IT.
self, in this season. Then Snowbird
led him to the windows, and they
watched the white drifts pile up over
the low underbrush.
When finally the snowstorm ceased,
five days later, the whole face Of the
wilderness was changed. The buck
brush was mostly covered, the fences
were out of sight: the forest seemed
a clear, clean sweep of white, broken
only by an occasional tall thicket and
by the great, snOw-covered trees.
When the clouds blew away, and |
the air grew clear, the temperature |
began to fall. Dan had no way of |
knowing how low it went. Thermome- |
tiers were not considered essential at |
the Lennox home. But when his eye

They were not only enough to break
up the ring and send it's members to
prison; with the aid of the empty shell
and other circumstantial evidence
they could in all probability convict
Bert CranstOn of murder.
For long time he stood with the
shadows Of the pines frightening
about him, his gray eyes In curious
shadow. For the moment a glimpse
was given him into the deep wells Of
the human soul; and understanding
came to him. Was there no balm for
hatred even in the moment of death?
Were men unable to forget the themes
and motives Of their lives, even when
the shadows closed down upon them?
H1ldreth had known what hand had
struck him down. And even on the
frontier Of death, his first thought was
to hide his evidence where Cranston
could not find 1t when he searched the
body, but where later it might be
found by the detectives that were sure
to come. 1t was the old creed of a
life for life. He wanted his evidence
to be preServed-not that right should
be wronged. but so that Cranston
would be prosecuted and convicted
and made to suffer. His hatred of
Cranston that had made him turn
states evidence in the first place had
been carried with him down into
death.
AS Dan stood wondering, he thought
he heard twig crack On the trail be-
hind him, and he wondered what for

The snow began to fall in earnest at
midnight white flakes that al
most in an instant covered the leaves.
1t was the real beginning of winter,
and all living creatures knew it. The
wolf pack sang to it from the ridge
a wild and p1a1ntive song that made
Bert Cranston, sleeping in a Iean-tO
on the Umpqua side Of the Divide,
swear and mutter in his sleep. But he
didn't really waken until Jim Gibbs,
one of his gang, returned from his
secret mission.
They wasted no words. Bert flung

"Well?" he demanded. 'tWhat did

"Nothin'," Jim Gibbs answered gut
turally. ''If you ask me what found

swer."
'Then-'' and Bert, after the man
ner of his kind, breathed an oath
''What did you find out?'
His tone, except for an added note |
of savagery, remained the same. Yet |
his heart was humping a great deal
louder than he liked to have it. Realiz-
ing that the SHOWS were at hand, he
had sent Gibbs for last search of
the body, to find and recover the evil
Ience that Hildreth had against him
and which had not been revealed either

methods that are used to determine
the upper limit OF the blanket OF

twilight method"
Twilight has been defined as the
time after sunset when day seems
to be continued into the night be-
cause of the sunlight that still
shines upon the upper air.
It has been determined that twi-
light lasts until the sun is about
IS degrees below the horizon. and

States with regard to her policy in
the Far East will make itself felt for

From the attitude Of purely aca-

the nations gathered here that a new
rule OF conduct, not so passive, will
guide her actions in the future.
England is likewise expected TO
make known a similar. though less
drastic. shift Of policy, she having
less far to 60 than the United States
to arrive at the same end.

American policy of the "open door"
But the significant contention now is
that instead of allowing this doctrine
to remain the door-mat which it has

make it effective. as a necessary pre-
