 deserted cabin,
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 She turned and resumed her work and singing al the same time, and stane lay there looking at her with the love shining plainly in his eyes.
 The next day was spent in removal to the cabin further up the lake, both Of them working at polling the raft with all their stores. The cabin was we'll situated on a small bay, where a fair-sized stream emptied into the lake, and behind if stretched the forest, dark and impenetrable. AS he hobbled through the open door, Stane looked round, and under the bunk discovered a number of steel traps which the girl on her first visit had overlooked. Also on 8 peg in a dark corner he found a set of dogs harness hung just as the owner had left it, probably months before. He pointed the traps out to the girl.
 '.As l guessed, it is a trapper's cabin, Miss Yardley. Any day may bring the owner back"
 Inside the cabin there was a little woodpile, and with a few well-chosen logs and dried sticks she soon had the stove roaring, and then began to bestow their possessions tidily. By the time that was accomplished the shadows were creeping across the lake and deepening in the woods. and it was time for the evening meal. and when it was ready they ate it at the rough table, with sense of safety and comfort that had long been lacking, This place is quite cozy" said Helen, looking round the firelit cabin. Tomorrow I shall make a curtain for the doorway out of caribou ekins"
 She broke off suddenly and q sparkle of interest came in her eyes Pointing to the pile Of wood in the corner she cried MT. Stane. I am sure there is something hidden under that wood"

 "F1our, Yon don't say?"
 You seem deliahted," she said vonderngy,
 T am" he replied.
 "Rut-well l don't exactly see why. If it were gold. could understand. one always finds gold in these de serted cabins, according 10 tho story. books And we find four--and you retoics'"
 "1 do," answered Stane ioyfuly. Miss Yardely that flour is a god send. We were very short. as you told me. only pound or two left. and l was afraid that we might have to live on meat and fish alone. and you don't know what that means. [ do! lived for three weeks on moose meat last winter and I haven't forgotten it yet. For heavens sake open the other tins"
 The girl obeyed him, and presently the remaining tins revealed their con tents one held about nine pounds of rice and the other was three parts filled with beans.
 To Stane the discovery of the stores was a great relief. far greater tran the girl knew. Of starvation he had no fear. for they were in good game country. but he knew the
