had given promise-to find Harold
Lounsbury!
He turned and went over to investi-
gate the tracks.
He followed swiftly down the trail,
anxious to know his fate>at the first
possible instant. He saw that the
trail was fresh, made that morning
he had every reason to think that he
could overtake the man who had
made it within a few hours.
He did not catch up with the
traveller in the snow. But shortly
after the noon hour his keen eyes
saw wisp of smoke drifting through
the trees, and his heart leaped in his
breast. He pushed on, emerging all
at once upon human habitation
1t was lean-to rather than a
cabin. A fire smoldered in front.
And his heart leaped with indescrib-
able relief when he saw that neither
of the two men that were squatted
in the lean-to-mouth was the stran-
ger who had passed his camp six years
before.
Bill had old acquaintance with the
type of man that confronted him
now. One of them was Joe Robinson

Came clear, icy night, and the

Bill did not answer, and the girl
] turned to him in tremulous:
Won't you find him for me, Bill?'
she cried. you are so strong, SC
cspable-you can do anything, any
thing you try. Won't you find him
and bring hi mback to me?"
The man looked down at her, and
his face was ashen.

One clear, icy night gale sprang
up in the east, and Virginia
and Bill fell to sleep to the sound OF
its complaint. And when Bill went
forth for his mornings woodcutting
he found that his snowshoes did moi
break through the crust.
: The wind had blown and crusted
the drifts during the night.
! This permitted him to make dash
over to certain stream further down
toward the Yuga river in search of
any sign of the lost mine.
When about two miles from the
cabin he saw, through a rift in the
distant trees, human trail in the
snow.
! He stood a moment in the drifts,
torn by an inner struggle.
All his fondest hopes, his dreams,
all the inner guardians of his own
happiness told him TO keep his
search, to journey on his way and
forget he had seen the tracks. Every
desire of Self spoke in warning to
hims.
But Bill Bronson had higher law
than self. Long ago, in front of the
lramshackle hotel in Bradleyburg, he

found the days much
" happier than she had hoped.
She liked the hours of sober
talk in the evenings. Sometimes
they would play through the records,
and so well had Bill made his selec-
tons that she never tired of them.
She had her lonesome hours, but
not so many as she had expected,
When time hung heavy on her hands
she would take out one of the old
magazines that Bill had brought up
to read on the winter nights.
She had abundant health. The ex-
peJence seemed to build her up.
rather than injure her. Her muscles
developed, she breathed deep of the
cold mountain air, and she had NOR!
energy than she could easily spend
She fought away the tendency to
grow careless in dress or appearance.
She kept her few clothes clean and
mended, she dressed her hair as care
fully as in her city home.
Their cabin life was redeemed by
their frequent excursions into the
wild The study of Nature was con-
stantly more absorbing to the girl.
In these excursions Virginia
learned to use her pistol with re-
narkable accuracy. Her strength in
creased; she could follow wherever
Bill led.
They. did not forget their graver
business. Ever Virginia kept watch
for a track that was not an animal
track, blaze on a tree not made
by the teeth of porcupine or grizzly,
a charred cooking rack over the
ashes of fire. But as yet they had
found no sign of human wayfarers
other than themselves.
Bill never ceased to search for his
mine. he looked for blazes, too; for
a sign of an old camp or pile of
washings beside stream. When he
found an open stream he would wash
the gravel, and it seemed to him he
combed the entire region between
the two little tributaries Of Grizzly
river indicated on his map. But with
the deepening snow search was ever
more difficult. Unlike Virginia, he
was almost ready to give up.
Every day winter strengthened its
shackles.
Even the rapids of the river had
begun to freeze.
But now the snowshoe frames were
done, wrought from tough spruce,
and the moose hide cut into thongs
and stretched across to make tho
webs For few days Bill and Vir-
ginia had been captives in the cabin.
and they held high revels in celebra-
ton of their completion. Now they
lconld go forth into the drifts again.
1t did not mean, however, that the
time was ripe for them to take their

was man unknown to Bill.
There are certain laws, among the
northern men, as to trapping rights.
Mostly they are unwritten; but their
Influence is felt clear beyond the
Arctic Circle. They state quite clear
ly that when man lays down line
of traps, for certain distance on
each side of him the district is his,
and no one shall poach on his pre-
serves. And these Indians had late
ly been partners in an undertaking
to clear the whole region Of its furs.
They had no idea but that Bill had
discovered their trap lines and had
come to make trouble.
So they were considerably amazed
at Bills first question. Did one Of
you make those tracks out there?"
he asked.
NO." Joe grunted Cur pardner
made it. Follow it down-pretty
soon find another cabin"
TX
Bill only had to turn to see the
snowy roof of the cabin, two hundred
yeards away down the glade.
1t was a new cabin, just erected,
and smoke drifted family from its
chimney. Bill raped on the door.
Come along in" some one an
swered gruffly. Bill did not have to
glance twice at the bearded face to
know in whose presence he stood.
Changed as he was, there was no
chance for a mistake This was
Harold Lounsbury, the same man
who had passed his camp years be-
fore, the same lost lover that Vir-
ginia had come to find.
Bill saw that the man was fright
ened. His lips were loose, his eyes
NERVOUS and bright, his hand did
not hold quite steady. Here was
one that the wilderness had crushed
in its brutal grasp.
This did not mean that his health
was wasted. His body was strong
and trim: except for a suspicious
network of red lines in his cheeks
and yellow, tinge to the whites of
his eyes, he would have seemed in
superb physical condition.
The evidence lay rather in the ex.
preston of his face, and most of al
