CHAPTER II
The imprint in the Snow.


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 Melon
aid had lived there, serving the COM
pany. Little had changed during that
time. The chief change had been in
himself and, since this was to be meas
ured rather by isolated happenings
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 blackmailer, brawl,
a knife-thrust, blow struck wildly
with some implement; a dead man, n
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.
That had been their COurtship. The
next day Mcdonald had married her,
and brought her to the trading post.
Six months later he was in charge of
It. They had been happy during the
year that passed before he laid her
under the tamaracks, and after that
Donald Mcdonald had lost all wish to
return to Aberdeen or to pursue adj
venture farther.
Mary had been the third finger on
the hand of McDonald's destiny, and
her death was the middle one. The
first was Molly, and it was about her
that his thoughts clustered eternally.

CHAPTER l-Continued.

The portage was firm ice, although
it offered no foundation for a railroad
bed. 1t ran between two openings in
the low bluffs, and the store was Wis
ible from the farther shore
The icy blasts pierced through Will
tons fur hood and mackinaw as if
they had been cotton. His feet seemed
like foreign bodies attached to his
legs, up which he could feel the numb
ness creeping by inches toward his
body. And when at last he reached
the portage he looked out with in
credulity toward the opposite shore,
seeing only Pickering line of
shadows through the slit between his
frozen eyelidS.
Resolutely claspng 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
q rink, in enormous circles, CLASSY and
firm, with whirling snOw-piles round
them. Wilton could progress only by
inches, fighting 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
Ond counted for victory. 1t was per-
haps a hundred feet farther. He
opened his eyes an instant. Eighty now
seventy, perhaps; one last effort
to cross the portage.
Fifty feet With all of will and
consciousness that remained Wilton
set his face resOlutely toward his
landing place, and strobe on into the
bank of snow piled up by the wind be-
meath the shelter of the bluffs. His
feet sank through the cracking sur
face, he struggled shOulder-deep to
win the last lap of the way. And of
a sudden the ice broke under him and,
twenty-five feet from the shore, the
snare of Big Muskeg held him.
Instinctively he sought to gather
purchase from tIle SUES OIL Ine SILK
hole into which he had fallen. The
tourniquetstick dragged through the
yielding snow, the elbow of the arm
that held Joe's body rested upon the
ice. One instant he buoyed himself
by this means over the peaty slush
that sucked at him beneath. Then,
with last cry that sounded above the
roaring of the gale, he yielded. And,
clutching Joe's body to his own, Will
ton went down.

And Somehow, Breaking the Rotten
Ice in Front of Her Body as She
Moved, the Girl Succeeded in Get
ting Wilton to the Shore.
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
tie room behind the store. She raised
him on the bed and laid him down, his
head upon her pillow.
Her teeth were chattering from the
deadly cold that gripped her, and her
own hands were numb, but she man
aged to strip off Wilton's socks, his
hood, maCkinaw and sweater. His
face was not badly frozen, but his
hands and feet were marble white.
Suddenly the girl saw the blood that
discOlOred the sleeve of WiltOn's
shirt. She ripped the sleeve from the
shoulder. She saw that the arm was
broken and that bullet, entering be-
hind, had passed Obliquely out, leav-
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 frOstbite 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
ceasing her efforts, in spite Of her
WEAKNESS, and the thawing, dripping
clothes about her. And at last the
white skin began to be suffused with
an angry red
Then she washed away the clotted
blood from the arm and nerved her
self TO the task that must be per-
formed. At the Moose Lake mission
she had nurSed an Indian with frac-
tured leg, set by the superintendent,
and this experience was all she had to
go by. But the break was simple
one. She brought the edges of the
bone together, made splints from
pieces of packing-case and wound the
whole tightly with cloth smeared with
bears fat Then she heated some
broth and poured it, drop by drop,
down Wilton's throat.
When she could do no more she took
her clothes out of the room and changed
in another, kept for travellers, separat-
ed by thin partition of pine planks.
She had Just finished when she
heard her father shutflng down the
stairs. 1t was the first time he had
left his bed, The girl ran to the door
in fear.

How Big Is an Electron2

One very noteworthy experiment in
measuring an electron was performed
by an American, Professor Millikan of
Chicago. He introduced minute drop
Of oil of about 1-10,OOOth inch in diam
eter in chamber between two plates
whose electrical charge was subject to
control. The drop of oil was strongly
Illuminated and was viewed with a
telescope. BY controlling the poten-
tails of the plates tie oil drop could
be made to fall or rise at will. The
drop continually picked. up and lost
eectrons. As it picked up an eectron 1t
would move toward the positive plate.
BY carefully observing the action Of the
drop Of oil, Millikan was able to deter
mine very accurately the charge added
to II by its picking up one electron.

SUN DUST IS A "RADI0 NET"
London Professor Evolves Novel The
DRY of the Atmospheric
Envelope.

Electrified dust thrown off by the
sun forms an atmospheric envelope
about the earth about 100 miles which
prevents wireless waves from escaping
into infinite space, according to Prof.
J. A. Fleming University college, Lon
don, whose work in wireless is known
all over the world.
The screen made by the dust, he
says, acts as sort of wireless speak
ing tube and enables waves used for
long distance wOrk-which are about
ten miles in length-to travel G,0OO and
10000 miles.
If it were not for that screen, ac-
cordinS TO The professors theory, the
wireless energy thrown out by the
big sending towers would not cling
to the earth, but would pass away
and be lost.

it was only the contraction of the
frozen sinews of his fingers that gave
him his hold on JOe's body.
1t was then that in her horror,
Molly recognized Wilton. She crept
toward the break. and lay down on the
ice, cropping toward him with her
hands. She shouted to him To hold fast
and, finding that he was already I'M
conscious, crept cautiously nearer over
the cracking surface.
Then she saw what It was that VIII
ton had been carrying and she recog-
nized Joe. Stunned momentarily by
the shock, she nerved herself to the
task of rescuing the living. She still
Crept forward until the upper part of
her body extended across the break.
She placed her hands beneath Wilton's
shoulders and tried to lift him.
1t was a task beyond her powers.
As she strained to it, suddenly the ice
broke all about her, and in a moment
she was laundering beside Wilton in
the water.
portage was of peat mixed with sand,
covered with water rather than slime.
Molly's feet touched bottom. The wa
ter was only shOulder-deep. With
quick resource she managed to draw
her feet up from the swamp and to
drag Wilton forward a pace or two,
thus freeing him from the clutch Of
the muskeg. And now she felt firm
sand under ler. She continued to
drag him toward the shore and, as
they moved, J0e'S body, still clutched

TIPS FOR FANS

A meeting Of representatives
of stations within $50 meters of
New York and New Jersey was
called to prevent radio Jam"
in the air. Some of the sweet
things that come through must
have gummed up the ether.
For use across the secondary
of a tuner, such as the honey
comb coils, use IA condenser of
twenty-three plates or less. The
less capacity used in the sec
ondary circuit, the better will
the set work.
If, after wiring up a set, you
hear nothing but steady hun
in the receivers, you may be
very sure that there is an open
circuit somewhere. Trace out
the wiring carefully and some
little fault will present itself.
The so-called Spaghetti tub
ing, If placed over bare wire
used III wiring a set, will inn
prove the appearance 100 per
cent and reduce the danger Of
short circuits.
More and more are the radio
fans turning to radio-frequency
ampliacation instead of audio-
frequency. The chief reason for
this lies i'm the fact that in
radio-frequency amplifcation the
incoming signals are nmplifed
before they reach the detector,
where they are rectified, while
in audio-frequency they are am
plifed after reaching the de-
tector. In the first method sig
nails that are very weak are
brought in, whereas in the lat
ter method they would probably
not be heard.
