NOW co ON WITH THE STORY

That evening he campcd al the foot Of fall. which he had heard of but never before seen. and spont the whole Of the next day in portaGng his belongings to navigahlP water. and on the following evening well beyond the rocky ramparts. where the river ran so swiftly, made his camp. han pilY conscious that now tho river pre- sented no barrier for two hundred miles
 As he sat smoking outside his little tent. an absent, thoughtful look upon his face. his eyes fixed dreamily on inc river his mind reverted once more to the problem of recent happenings and as he considered it. there camc to him the picture Of Miskodecd as he had seen her running towards him between the willows rust beforn tho blow which had knocked him unconscious. She had cried to him to put him on his guard. and tho apprehension in her face as he remembered il told him that she knew of the ill that Was to befall him. Ho recalled inc di- rectness Of her speech in their first conversation and smiled at the naivete Of her estimate Of himself. Then the smile died. leaving the absent. thonFhtful look more pronounced. and in the same moment the vision e, Miskodeed was ohliterated by the vision Of Helen Yardely.
 Again, as he recalled the steady. scrutiniZing glance of her gray eyes. he felt the blood rioting in his heart, and for moment his eyes were alight with dreams. Then he laughed in sudden bitterness.
 What a confnunded fool I am!"' he said. "A discharged convict--"
 The utterance was suddenly check cd; and an interested look came on his face. There was something com ing down the river He rose quickly to his feet in order to gel better view Of the object which had suddenly fioatcd into his line Of vision. II was canoe. It appeared 10 be empty. and thinking it was q drrciict drifting from some camp up river. he threw himself down again. for even if he sHlsrd it, it could be or no possible use to him. Hc wondered whether the current would swing it clear: and how watched it with interest since he had once heard a river-man declare thai anything that surrendered itself completely to a current would clear ohstructions. He had not believed the theory at the time, and now be- fore his eyes it was disproved; for the dcreiict swung straight towards the rocks. then twisted halfway round as | it was caught by some swirl, and struck sharp piece of rock broad side on.
 Then happened a totally unexpeet. 1 ed thing. As the canoe struck. a girl | who had been lying at the bottom. | raised herself suddenly. and stared at the water overside. one hand clutching the gunwhale. second later the canoe drifted against another rock and suddenly tilted. throwing the girl ! into the broken water
 By this time. taken by surprise though he was, Stane was on his feet and running down the bank. He did not stop to launch his canoe but just as he was flung himself Into the water and started to swim across the river, drifting a little with the current. striving to reach a point where he could intercept the girl as she drifted down. It was no light task he had set himself, for the current was
