CHAPTER v.
Tho Bitter Cup.


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 It grew In strength all that morn
ing, until by noon 1t was almost a hur-
ricane. They pushed on doggedly un-
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 reconnois-
sance roads. They had come no more
than six miles, and 1t was stir a good
fifteen into Clayton. BY this time the
blizzard had increased to an intense
violence, driving great sheets Of snow
along the road. II was impossible to
face such q hurricane any longer.
sweTl have to wait till this let's up
a bit. Molly" said Wilton.
The little shack, hardly more than
four walls and roof, was unoccupied
Wilton broke down the door and went
In. He found the key OF the stable,
unlocked II, 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 a fre was impossible, but
they ate biscuit and timed beef, wash
ing 1t down with water.
"It'n have to let up soon," said VII
ton. IF II doesn't, Wen Just have
to face II again"
A dozen times he had regretted hav-
ing yielded to her insistence to &C
company him. Travelling In that
weather was hard on a man, let alone
girl such as Molly. He looked al
her In wonder as he saw her apparent
unconcern, the courage with which she
faced the difficulties of the Journey
But his fears were centered chiefly
on Kitty. Suppose hs couldn't 90 on

There is one fact women should con-

Irregularities and various forms ofweak-
ness. They try this and that doctor, as
well as different medicines. Finally they
take Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound,
and Mrs. Sherman's experience is simply
another case showing the merit Of this
well-known medicine.

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 again and
again, leaplng at him, tearing at his
clothes; one sank Its fangs into his
right hand, and, as he freed himself
with 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, thrusting the whipstock 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 1t, and felt no pain. He
was swooniug.
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
Dimly he heard the discharge Of the
weapon again. And then, out Of q
semi-stupor, Molly's face, and her
tears upon his cheeks.
She was kneeling beside him upon
the floor Of the stable, stanching the
blood from his wounds with strip
torn from her petticoat. Upon the
floor lay three of the dogs, dead. Two
more were writhing and moaning in G
distant corner. Wilton looked up.
Molly bowed her face upon his and
broke into hysterical weeping. It 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. "It
Is useless, WILL" she sobbed. LET US
die here. We can't 60 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 ri
his side, till he grew stronger, or
"Mollyl Remember Kitty = and
joel"
His words seemed to galvanize her
back to courage. She got up. Hes
face grew suddenly composed, With
streaming eyes she bandaged up his
wounds. She improvised another sling,
to hold his arm.
IL shall walk into Clayton" she said.
"You must lie In the shack. Help will
come by noon tomorrow. perhaps
sooner"

Now PeddIe Flowers.

Nothing more pathetic can be seen
in the Near East today than the
splendid, outstanding Russian officers
in their badly worn greatcoats selling
flowers on the street.
"They would do anything, these
Russian men and women, exiles from
their own country" says Doctor Bes-
tor, president of Chautauqua. Doctor
Bestor spoke recently at the national
board headquarters on his three
months tour # the continent. "The
wife Of former Russian ambassador
is cook in family. The doorkeep-
er of the embassy Is a former admiral
Of the Russian fleet. These Russians
have lost their relatives, In fact every
thing In the world except their grit
and courage, and the only organiza-
ton In the Near East administering
to the women and girls among them
Is the Y. w. @. A."

swinging the revolver aloft, butt for
ward, In his hand.
With his powerful build he could
have delivered blow that would have
crushed Wilton's skull. But before the
blow fell Andersen had raised his pan
and brought 1t down edgewise upon
the sergeants head, cutting the scalp
to the bone and drenching the man
with the boiling grease.
With a scream Of pain Peters stum-
bled forward, letting the revolver fall
from his hand, slipped in the grease
that had begun to ooze along the floor,
and fell full length on the planks,
where he lay writhlng In anguish, and
trying to clear his eyes of the melted
fat and the blood that streamed down
his forehead.
Instantly Molly stopped. snatched up
the weapon, which had fallen at her
feet, and covered the constable, who
had flung himself upon Wilton again.
Myers stopped dead and threw his
hands up automatically.
"Get over there" said Molly briskly
pointing toward the wall behind the
sergeant.
Myers obeyed Immediately, and tool,
his post against the wall, the picture
Of confusion. Peters struggled slowly
to his feet Has face and pea-jacket
were covered with Aim Of grease
over which the blood from his wound
was trlckling. The tables were turned
with dramatic completeness.
"You know what this means I" splut
tered the sergeant trying to clear the
fat from his eyes.

With the midway looking more like
a duck pond than a place of amuse-
ment, the Workman show folks were
forced to strike their colors yester-
day, bow TO the inevitable and trust
that the good Lord Would send a lot
of sunshine to dry up the mud at the
fair grounds. For a short time wind
and rain played havoc with the tents,
but willing and experienced hands
soon brought order out of chaos, and
very little damage was done. Every
thing was up and in ship shape early
this morning Inc weather permitting,
the shows will continue their per-
