Mcdonald, the factor, lay on his bed
In an upstairs room Of the house
whose lower story was the trading
store, and looked out through the WIN
dow over the swamp beneath. 1t was
two weeks since Molly had found him
lying with closed eyes on the floor,
with the flushed face and heavy breath
ing Of apoplexy.
For two and twenty years McDon-
aid had lived there, serving the COM

time. The chief change had been In

than the steady progress of time, NC
Donald could have counted on the fin
gers of one hand the scale-marks OF his
life.
The little finger was his arrival at
Toronto from Aberdeen, drawn to the
New World by stories of life In the
service Of the famous company. The
third finger was Mary.
He had met her In Toronto, soon
after his arrival In Canada. and she
had been born in his own town, though
he had not known her there. Molly
knew vaguely that he had championed
her In trouble that had come upon
her, for which she was not to blame.
There had been a blackmailer, brawi,
q knife thrust, blow struck wildly
with some Implement; a dead man, a
white-faced girl clinging to him, and
then the silence of the starlit streets.
Donald Mcdonald still bore the scar
of a ripping wound along his right
forearm.

next day Mcdonald had married her,
and brought her to the trading post.

her death was the middle one. The

Il offered NO foundation for railroad

the low bluffs, and the store was WIS.,

The icy blasts pierced through VIII
tons fur hood and mackinaw as II
they had been cotton. His feet seemed
Ike foreign bodies attached to his
legs, up which he could feel the numb
nesss creeping by inches toward his
body. And when at last he reached
tho portage he looked out with in
credulity toward the opposite shore,
seeing only flickering line Of
shadows through the slit between his
frozen eyelids.
Rssolutely clasping the frozen form
with his right arm, he stepped out
upon the surface. The wind. which
blew through the gap with hurricane
violence at almost all times, had
swept the ice as a broom might sweep
a rink, in enormous circles, CLASSY and
arm, with whirling snow-piles round
them. Wilton could progress, only by
inches, lighting the full blast Of the
gale, and seeing the line Of his route
only In fractions Of seconds.
He saw the bluffs in front Of him,
and the opposite shore nearing. And
he fought furiously against the creep
ing numbness, knowing that each sec

twenty-five feet from the shore, the

Instinctively he sought to gather

the girl succeeded in getting Wilton to
the shore. From that point, half
dragging and half carrying him over
the snow, she reached the store at
last.
She pried the stiff hand from Joe's
body. That was the hardest Of her
efforts. Molly left Joe's body upon the
threshold and got Wilton into her lit

him on the bed and laid him down, his

hands and feet were marble white.
Suddenly the girl saw the blood that
discolored the sleeve of Wilton's

shoulder. She saw that the arm was
broken and that bullet, entering be-

ing a small but not dangerous wound.
The blood had long since ceased to
flow and clotted the wound In a con-
gealed, frozen mass.
The danger from the frostblte was
the more immediate. Molly took snow
from the threshold and began to rub
his face, his feet and his fingers. For
nearly an hour the girl persisted. never

weariness, and the thawing, dripping

white skin began to be suffused with
