CHAPTER IX-Continued


Lee did not push his inquiries. On
the whole he felt it would be prefer
able that her memory should return
to her while she was at the mission.
The next morning broke cloudy, the
snow was frozen hard, and banks of
heavy snow clouds were piling up in
the north. The girls knee had still not
troubled her. and they made even
faster progress. Early in the after
noon the prospects of storm became
so threatening that Lee proposed they
should encamp on a ridge of land some
half mile in front of them.
I'VE can find safe nook in there"
he suggested.
"Oh, no." answered the girl, there's
large log house about half mile
beyond that, and We'll be much more
comfortable there"
AS Lee looked at her, he realized
that she had been speaking without
realizing what she had been saying.
Suddenly she realized it too.
Nov what made me say that?" she
asked. But I'm sure somehow that
there is cabin there. | know this
place quite well, only it's as if I'd
seen it in a dream. Oh, Lee, what II
/ should remember? l don't want to-
never, neverl want our new life
and our love !"
ae put bis arm about her and tried
to comfort her, but the look of sad
ness fingered on her face. and every
now and then, covertly watching her.
Lee would see that same perplexed
knitting of her brows.
They passed the ridge, the trail ran
saround the bend of the Lakeland sud
denly they saw the log building in
front of them.
Lee looked at the house in surprise,
for 1t was built in the most substan-
tial way and contained apparently five
or six rooms. The settler who had
constructed it must have meant to
make it his permanent home, for the
ground around 1t had been cleared for
an acre or more; but it seemed to
years, for the land was overgrown with
brambles and spindly birch, into the
thick of which serried cohorts of young
spruce trees were advancing in ranks,
like the vanguard of am army.
The door was unbolted, and when
they went in they were startled at the
aspect of the interior. The rooms were
filed with furniture, nearly all of 1t
made by the settler, but extraordinar-
fly well done. There were widowed
and faded but substantial carpets ON
the floors. There were fungous growths
on the walls; but in spite of all the
evidences of decay, the interior looked
the habitation of prosperous settler.
They went from room to room. The
contents. of the kitchen had been
scrupulously respected in accordance
with trappefs' law. There were por-
celain plates. cups and saucers cook.

Lee went all over the place, calling
to the girl with the enthusiasm of a
boy.

reading it in their parents eyes.
No, even that was not possible.
There was no escape for him.
And he thanked God that he did not
have to weigh those possibilities,
though he would never have yielded.
For stronger even than conscience
was the thought Of the force he was
so proud to serve.
Those dauntless guardians of the
law had endured the icy blasts of the
treeless tundras, they had looked I'M
fiinchingly into the face of death,
death by violence, by cold, by hunger,
and on the battlefield; it was all part
CT the game whether one fdced moral
enemy or physical one. Even in
thought there could be no tempering
with dlshonor.
And it was only for moment that
Lee weighed these possibilities as he
strobe through the storm. Then he
squared his shoulders resolutely and
threw off the burden. He would take
Joyce to the Moravian mission as he
had planned, there hand her over to
the priest, and-leave her to go to his
task. the apprehension of her father.
The storm was growing tiercer.
Lee, awakening to the realization of
externas as the icy flakes whipped his
face. discovered that he had left the
clearing far behind him; he could no
longer discern the cabin in the dis
lance through the whirling snow. He
had been travelling across the ridges
of the broken ground, apparently
making unconsciously for the shelter
of the friendly forest behind 1t, with
the instinct of wounded beast to
take cover.
Well, he must go back, and they two
must face that night together, and the
next day. There was no help for it.
AS he strobe on. suddenly instinct
|'pulled him up sharply He had been
trampling through mass of withered
Mndergrowth and bramble; and now,
directly in front of him, he perceived a
great gorge, so concealed in this
growth that he had all but stepped
over the edge.
He advanced cautiously and peered
down into it, 1t was an extraordinary
formation. He had seen such before,
in that and other regions, where the
limestone, pushed up through molten
granite by volcanic action at some pre-
historic time, and then abraded by rain
or torrent, left strange hollows and
gullies.
But he had never seen one on such
scale as this.
He was looking into natural fis-
sure in the ground, long, irregular,
winding chasm, extending indefinitely
into the distance, but so narrow as to
be merely lip or crack in the rugged
surface of the ground
1t had not been worn by rains or
water; 1t was too deep for that. Prob
ably the limestone, thrust up originally
from the earth's inner core, had been
sucked down again in some final con-
vulsion. while the granite was still
half molten. leaving the granite shell
about the chasm.
And in spite of its depth the chasm
was so narrow that it almost looked
as If man could have leaped across
| it.
This was undoubtedly incorrect. the
distance between cliff and cliff being

underbrush that fringed the oriace !:

Secretary Of State Would
Regulate Auto Drivers
Mike Holm Will Ask Legislature to
Pass Bill Requiring Examination
~, and Issuance of License

Minneapolis, Dec. 31-Secretary of
State Mike Holm will recommend to
the 1925 legislature the enactment of
legislation which will require licens-
ing of automobile drivers.
War on reckless drivers of auto
mobiles as means of saving lives
and preventing injuries to hundreds
OF persons already has been declared
by municipalities and the state now
is to be asked to strengthen the fight,
to have only persons capable of driv-
ing automobiles at the wheels.
A bill has been drafted by a joint
Twin City committee, consisting of
the safety bureau of the Minneapolis
Civic and Commerce association and
the st. Paul association proposing
the licensing of operators of motor
vehicles"
Mr.. Holm said today he believed
that to require every driver of an
automobile, to have license, vouch-
ing for his fitness, would afford a
means of placing responsibility for
reckless driving. His proposal to the
legislature simply will ask the legis-
lators to pass an act carrying the re-
quirement for licensing of automo-
bile drivers. To the legislature will be
left the task of preparing the, act and
setting up the machinery. This,
however, already has been done in
the way of suggestions to the legis-
lature by the joint Twin City COM
mittee.
Briefly, this proposed act provides,
among other things, that:
A driver must be 16 years old or
older.
Every person operating motor We
hicle must have a license or be &C
by a licensed driver.
To obtain a license a motor vehicle
driver must show his fitness.
The act would become effective
January 1, 1926.

Minnesota Potato Price
Level Dips to 19 Cents
Potato Exchange Gives Average Price
Per Bushel Prevailing Over
State Last Week

Speculative. potato buyers in Min
nesota, were paying an average of Is
cents bushel or 81. q cents a hun.
dred on November 1, according to 8
survey made by the Minnesota Pc
tato Growers Exchange, results OF
which were announced this week. -
This statement is based on reports
received from all foreman employed
by the Exchange at the 2S5 points at
which it operated warehouses during
the fall.
This price is in line with govern
ment reports which indicate an on
the-farm Dec. 1 price, this year of
27 cents compared with 80 cents in
1928 and 81 cents in 1922.
"From Oct. 1 until Nov. 7, the
last day covered by our survey,
prices have been under 35 cents
hundred" says S. G. Rubinow, gen.
eral manager of the Exchange. "The
survey is as fair a presentation of
the desperate straights of the pota-
to market this fall as could be OBJ
tanned.
"The most remarkable feature of
the survey is the fact that at dozens
of points over the state, the non-mem-
Der grower has been unable to dis
pose of his potatoes at any price, due
to there being no buyers present.
eff our average price included all
stations at which there was no mark
ct, the figure on Nov. 1 would be Is
cents a hundred or about 8 cents
bushel. However, such an analysis
would be unfair to all concerned, be-
cause where there is no sales, no one
can tell what the market might have
been. - 80
cat scores Of points, buyers OBJ
tanned potatoes from the non-member |
growers for 20 cents a hundred, or
about IL cents bushel. The only
reason that the price did not go low
err is that farmers will not haul po-
tatoes for less than 20 cents"
