Houston entered and dropped be-
side the older man, already drag

the trinkets there. A watch, a ring,
and a locket with a curly strand
OF baby hair. The giant sobbed.

What's that.s' Houston had
raised suddenly, was staring in the
direction of an old commode in the
corner. AT the door the wolf-dog
smiled and snarled. Ba'tiste, bend
ing among the lost trinkets that
once had been his wife's, did not
hear. Houston grasped him by the
shoulder and shook him excitedly.
"Ba'tiste. Ba'tiste, There's some
one hiding-over there in the cor

Hiding? No. There is no one

revolver fire had spurted from the
corner; then the plunging form of

who rushed past Houston to the
door, swerved there, and once more
raised the revolver. But he did

while men and women waded
through the soggy SHOWS to be the
first to reach the train. Eagerly
Barry searched the thronging
crowd, at last to catch sight of a
gigantic figure, his wolf-dog beside
him.
"Ba'tiste!" he called. "Ba' tiste,"
Great arms opened wide. A sob
came from the throat of giant.

all he could say for a moment.
We've won, Ba'tiste! The lines

The whistles screamed. Up the
grade, four engines to a plow, the
Jets OF steam shrilling upward,
coughing columns of smoke leaping
biackly up the mountain side.
A Earring crash that all but
threw the men OF the first crews
from their feet, and the Death Trail

snarling. roaring, the snow flying
in cloud-like masses past them, the
first plow bit its way deep into the
tremendous mass, while sweating

crammed coal into the open, angry
fire boxes, the sand streamed on
greasy tracks-and the cavalcade
went on.

A shout. A pull at the whistle,

Already they were in the sled,

At last came the little clearing
and the cabin. Ba'tiste already was
