They arrived at the cache a few min
utes after the half-breeds, to find the
w policemen waiting for them, while
the two men were embarrassing the
dogs. Andersen, the old Swedish care
taker, was standing beside Joe's coffin
with a stunned look on his face. The
policemen were not Of prepoSsessing

"But you are rot from Clayton" said
Wilton, who. of course, knew all the
members of the small force of police
that was stationed there.

sergeant shortly.
From the Pas! That explained how
the sled had come along the road be-
hind him. Bowyer must have discov-
cred the fact of Joe's death In some
manner, and had probably spread the
news. Wilton surmised that Jules
Halfhead had somehow managed to
indicate the fact to him.
The constable solved his problem.

"And we net parties who told us
about Joe Bostock having met with an

continued.

Wilton angrily, land you'll keep a civil
tongue in your head. sergeant"
Peters looked him up and down inso-
lently. and for a moment or two the
men faced each other in an aggressive
attitude. Then the sergeant, sneering,
swung on his heel. Wilton did not
know what TO make of his attitude, for
the police were always friendly.
Andersen's room was placed at Mol
ly's disposal, and after Wilton had
seen to her comfort he went outside
the shack.
The dogs were yelping and snarllng
over their fish from the cache. Pa
pillon had just finished feeding them,
