 We were being lowed out" he said, "as the nose of the ship came outside of the hangar I noticed 1t sway a little with the wind and as it proceeded it careened 10 one side. When the ship was little more than half way out the wind caught it with full force and carried it over to the west side of the entrance of the hangar. The wind let the big bag go and it dropped, the bottom of the car scraping the floor.
 Another puff of wind caught us and I decided to jump. I saw the big ship rent and heard the hissing of gas There. must have been an- other rent in the bag but the force of the escaping gas threw me vio lently to the floor. Then came the explosion. I was knocked down by someone running. The big bag was a mass of flames. All of the others must have gotten away before the ex- plosion came" .-.

CHAPTER v.
The Bitter Gun

Hardly had they topped the rise be-
hind which the cache was situated
when the full force Of the wind caught
them. A blizzard was sweeping UP,
and 1t grew In strength oil that morn
Ing, until by noon It was almost hur-
ricane. They pushed on doggedly I'M
til about one o'clock, avoiding the
temptation TO rest at the auxiliary
caches which had been established
along this part OF the road
At one o'clock they came to an
empty cache and horse stable, which
had been built In anticipation Of win
ter development work, and had formed
the hub of many radiating reconnols-
sance roads. They had come no more
thnn six miles. and It was still good
fifteen into Clayton. BY this time the
blizzard had increased to an intense
violence, driving great sheets Of snow
along the road. 1t was impossible to
face such hurricane any longer.
"We'il have to walt till this let's up
a bit, Molly" said Wilton.
The little shack, hardly more than
four walls and a roof, was unoccupled.
Wilton broke down the door and went
In. He found the key Of the stable,
unlocked 1t, and embarrassed the dogs.
He drove them In and shut the door.
Then he took the blankets out OF the
sleigh and went into the shack.
TO build fire was impossible, but
they ate biscuit and timed beef, wash
ing 1t down with water.
"ItlI have to let up soon,' said VIII
ton. "If 1t doesn't, wen just have
to face 1t again."
A dozen times he had regretted hav-
ing yielded to her insistence to nc
company him. Travelling in that
weather was hard on man, let alone
girl such as Molly. He looked at
her In wonder rs he saw her apparent
unconceru, the courage with which she
faced the difficulties Of the journey.
But his fears were conferred chiefly
on Kitty. Suppose he couldn't 80 on !
Suppose ne couldn't be at the share
holders meeting on the morrow
Tuward the middle OF the afternoon

though the driven snow still swept In
binding clouds along the road II

compass. The half-breeds had deserted
during the night.
''They must have guessed that those
men meant to arrest you. or else they
heard them talking said Molly.
But Wilton had hurried to the horse
stalls, separated from the dog stable
by stout door. He breathed deep
sigh of relief. The second sleigh was
there. For moment the thought OF
possibilities had made his heart almost
stand still.
He came back grim and resolute.
There's something pretty deep In oil
this business" no said. ~ know why
the men ran away. The sergeant gave
them the tip 10. saw him talking to

reason why they wouldn't sleep In the
shack--because they meant to run.

that they would make trouble, or try
to help u.s. But can't fathom 1t.
Those men acted like criminals. That's
not the way Of the police"
He clenched his fist and swore I'M

"Tll have those fellows broke for

said. And I'm going to run down
those breeds, II 1t takes me lifetime.
tell you this, Molly: it's all bound
UP with Joe In some way or other, and
Tom Bowyer's at the bottom of IT.
"But flrst--remember Kitty" said
Molly softly, laying her hand on VIII
TONS shoulder.
Even the slight touch made him
vince, for the pain OF his broken arm
was becoming unbearable. He realized
that In all probability he was In for a
long spell of Illness. He knew that
the bone would have to be reset. His
head felt strangely light, and the
ground seemed to slope downhlli from
him In all directions. But he shut his
teeth hard, and would not let Molly
guess. And feverish energy took
possession of him. He must hold out
for the journey, unit. after the share
holders meeting he had told
Kittyi
"We'll take the police sled and start
at once" he said to Molly. at looks
as IL storm was brewing. I'll tell
Andersen TO let those fellows 60 about
noon. and I'll leave the revolver with
him."
Inside the shack they found the po-
lIcemen eating their breakfast on the
floor, with the caretaker diligently
serving them. They were still bound
but their hands were free.
"Turn them loose at noon, Ander-
SEN" Wilton said. "Give them enough
slap-bang to carry them on their way
Just turn them loose and see that they
haven't any dangerous weapons to do
you mischief with"
"You bet I take care for that"
grinned the Swede.
Wilton let Andersen harness the
dogs. to save his strength for the jour
ney. In a few minutes the sled was
ready. with the sleigh carrying Joe's
body attached behind, and the huskies,
harnessed, sitting docile In the snow,
awaiting the command to mush.
The sun was just showing above the
horizon when Wilton and Molly start
ed on the second stage Of their Jour
ney to Clayton.

retreating till his back was against
the wall OF the shack, he laid about
him with the shortened stock.
With gaping jaws and wicked, blood
shot eyes, the pack came on agnin and
again, ieaping at him, touring ut his
clothes: one sank Its fangs Into his
right hand, and, MS he freed himself
with a smashing blow. the others were
upon him sIdeward,
In an instant he was struggling with
his one hand against the heavy bodies
that bore him back, shielding his
throat, .hrusting the whpstock into
the red cavernous jaws, while the an
guish from his wrenched shoulder al
most made him scream with pain.
Everything was swimming round
him. They had him down. Their bel
lowing howls grew fainter In his ears.
Mechanically he kept his right hand
at his throat The left. torn from the
sling, topped grotesquely In front of
him. He heard the click OF the fangs
that met In II, and felt no pain. He
was swooning.
Suddenly he heard the "snap.snap"
Of a revolver. A leaping body seemed
to stop short In the air. and tumbled
on him, knocking him on his face.
DimIy he heard the discharge Of the
weapon again. And then, out of a
semi-stupor Molly's face, and her
tears upon his cheeks.
She was kneeling beside him upon
the floor Of the stable, stanchlng the
blood from his wounds with strip
torn from her petticoat. Epon the
floor lay three of the dogs. dead. Two
more were writhIng and moaning in a
distant corner. Wilton looked up.
Molly bowed her face upon his and
broke into hysterical weeping. II was
the first sign of weakness he had ever
seen In her. He held her In his right
arm. He saw that his blood had
stained her hands, her clothing.
Molly" he said weakly, MOLLY"
She wept in utter hopelessness. 1T
Is useless, Wlll," she sobbed. "Let US
die here. We can't go on. They have
torn you. Your arm is broken again.
Oh, the snow--the snow"
She seemed to have completely
broken down. She crouched beside
him. her whole body shaken by her
sobs. And In his apathy It seemed to
him good to lie there, with Molly at
his side, till he grew stronger, Or
Molly Remember Kitty - and

His words seemed to galyanlze her
back to courage. She got up. Her
face grew suddenly composed. With
streaming eyes she bandaged up his
wounds. She Imnrovised another sling.

come by noon tomorrow. perhaps
sooner"
