"Oh, then, you know that I am
that?" she cried.
II have known it for months!
She made a little movement that
brought her closer to him, and yield
Ing to the surging impulse in his
heart, he threw an arm around her.
He stopped and kissed her, and a
sob came from her.
A little tongue of flame was creep

she was to do what many women of

you must wait a full minute before
emerging. I shall try and make for
the woods at the back, and If I get
clear you shall follow me-you un-
derstand?"
He slipped down the bar, threw the
door open suddenly and plunged out
side. A yell greeted his emergence
and he was aware of a small group
Of men standing a little way from the
cabin. AS he ran he fired at them
from the hip; and turned sharply to
the left. The two men appeared sud
denly from behind the trees to bar
his way. so quickly that he had not
time to fire the rifle before one of
them grappled with him. The rifle
fell from his hand, and for a moment
they struggled. then whilst the sec
ond man was still running. a shadowy
figure slipped from behind a broad
trunk close to where the two men
were locked together, and Stane
caught the sudden CLEAN Of knife

killed his companion. and the un-
known one went down Ike a log. Be

surprise the AK was raised again. He
leaped at the man just as the ak de-
scended. An intervening bough turned

ground, the Indian raised the ak once
more. Before the blow could fall. a

He gulped from the tin pannidn
which was held to his lips. and
coughed as the raw. potent spirit
burned his throat. Then he sat up
and looked at the man who was be-
friending him.

weakly

round. where
Jean looked at Stane, as if he doubt

him. "Oh I have not gone mad, Ben
ard. There was a white girl with
me in your cabin, Miss Yardely You
must have heard"
"Mees Yardelyl She ees here?"
cried the trapper in sudden excite

"She was here!' corrected Stane

The trapper made his way into the
smoldering hut, and began to busy
himself with preparations. whilst
Stane looked round again. The dark
ness, and the figures lying in the
snow gave the scene an indescribable
air of dissolution, and for a moment
he stood without moving; then, as
something occurred to him, he began
to walk toward the place where he
had been struck down. Three figures
lay there huddled grotesquely in the
snow. and to one of them he owed
his life. Which of them was It? Two
of the dead lay with their faces in
the snow. but the third was on its
back. face upward to the sky. He
stood and looked into the face. 1t

grappled, and who had been struck

What ees it, m'sieu?' he asked
as he reached Stane who knelt there
as If turned to stone.

The trapper bent over the PROSTATE

like a sob checked his utterance. "Ah,

He dropped suddenly in the snow,
and bent over the face in its frozen
beauty, sobbing as only strong man
can. He bent lower and kissed the
ice-cold lips, whilst Stane staggered
to his feet, and moved away.
He began to walk to and fro, in
stinctively fighting the cold, with all
his mind absorbed in Miskodeed's lit
tie tragedy; but presently the thought
Of Helen came to him, and he walked
quickly to where Jean Bernard still
knelt In the snow.
Jean Bernard" he said quietly,
there is work to do"
Bernard rose slowly to his feet, and
in the little light reflected from the
snow Stane read the grief of the mans
heart in his face.

stomach sours. tongue is coated. and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twings. The urine sgets
cloudy, full Of sediment, the chan
nels often get sore and irritated,
obnging you TO seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids, to help cleanse the kidneys
