wOUid have corrected the statement
that nothing was known about it.
While he listened Lee noticed that
the two men opposite him were like
wise taking in every word. The big
breed was obviously under the in
luence of liquor, and his little com
panion was not only watching the
company but also watching him. At
times he would turn and whisper in
his companions ear. And once, in
his close scrutiny of the company, he
turned his gaze on Lee.
Fol a moment Lee felt chilled by
the eyes of the little r%ed-haired man.
They were pale grey, CLASSY, venom
Gus. They looked like a snakes eyes.
Lee, though his gaze was as steady as
the others, did not like the look of
the little red-haired man.
The conversation drifted. BY twos
and threes the men began to make
their way back TO the bar. Lee had
risen from the table and left the din
ing-room, intending to take a smoke
OF the stoop, when he heard a femi-
nine voice, and found himself staring
In surprise at a girl who had just
come in and was in conversation with
the landlord.
For this was not in the least the
type of girl whom one might look for
in such a place as Little Falls.

CHAPTER III
An Unwelcome Guardian

Lee rode off hot with indignation
at the landlords innuendo about the
r. G. M. P. But this soon yielded to
anxiety about the girl. The disclosure
that the two men were from Siston
lake and the recollection of the con-
versation he had overheard, convinced
him that they were planning to kid
nap and convey her there.
Such a plan would seem inconceiv-
able but Lee knew that the gang, be-
lieving their organization firmly en-
trenched in power, would stop at very
little. Other things equally sinister
had been done by them.
However, Lee began to breathe
more freely when he had left the
squalid little town behind him. He
walked or trotted his horse till noon,
gradually ascending toward the out
skirts of the range through a fairly
open country.
The SHOWS might hold off for two or
three weeks yet, and Lee felt confident
that well within that period he would
be able to bring back Pelly, if the lat
ter were in the region, unless he took
alarm, in which event of course Lee
would have to bring his horse back to
Little Falls and prepare for a long
winters chase. The new dominion
force carries on the tradition of the old

CHAPTER |
Sergeant Anderson Rides
Into Little Falls

Lee Anderson, sergeant in the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police, had
been leading his horse up the last
bill. Now he stopped at the top and
lit his pipe, letting the animal snatch
a few blades of the sparse grass that
grew among the ferns and raspberry
brambles beside the cart track.
There were, perhaps. thirty-three or
four years to his credit. His rather
fined, deeply sunburned face and
throat contrasted markedly with the
edging Of white flesh at the V-top of
his open shirt. Lee, in his prospec-
tors clothing, appeared to be typically
one of those reserved, quiet, self-con-
tanned men whom the north breeds.
His rather heavy horse, a combina-
ton of pack and saddle, was well
laden behind the rolled blankets that
formed a parapet across its shoulders.
Lee inhaled with delight the warm,
steamy exhalations of the earth, rich
with the added debris of the year.
He turned and looked forward, be-
yond the settlement of Little Falls,
lying at the foot of the slope In
front of him, the last of the settle
ments on his side of Stony range.
1t was an unkempt, untidy little
place, created by the advent Of the
lumber companies a few years before,
and struggling among the knee-high
stumps of what had been virgin forest
within the decade.
After his belated return from
France, only to find the old North
west mounted, of which he had been
a member, merged in the new Do
minion body. Lee himself had been
stationed at Manistree. He had been
In the police eight years before the
war. 1t vas the only life that ap-
pealed to him. His service had ex-
pired during his term at the front, but
his first act on returning had been to
rejoin.
Inspector Crawley had sent for him
a few days later.

unspoken question as to what such a
girl was doing in Little Falls.
That she a riding into the range
was evident. Had she been riding out,
the men would have known Of her.
But-whOse daughter was she?
There was no one in the now de-
serted range to whom she could be
going. The only possible destination
might be the Moravian mission on the
other side. But-there were no
women at the mission.

And supper's ready"
"Thank you, but 1 had mine on the
road. And | shall be going on early
in the morning"
BY now the crowd of ex-prospectors
had formed a wide circle about the
girl, standing as far as the pas
sage would permit, staring and
scrutinizing her frankly, and looking
sheepishly away whenever her I'M
embarrassed glance fell upon any of
them. Lee, hearing a muttering be-
staring at the girl and whispering ex-
to his companion. His red
headed partner was Juggling at his
arm as if to restrain him.
"You d-n fool, Pierre!" Lee heard
him expostulate.
Suddenly the breed shook off the
grip and lurched forward.
Planting himself in front of the girl,
he leaned toward her, with an ex-
preston on his face that brought the
blood into her cheeks.
Before he could utter a word. how
ever, Lee stepped quietly INFO the
preach with that instructive air of au-
-hority which he retained, despite the
shedding of his uniform.
"Thatll be all" he said crisply.
The breed turned OF him and broke
