He found Les Kennedy nursing
highball at the bar.

Kennedy turned slowly. His pale
eyes were bleak. ooh! H'lo, Phil

"No. just finished one. What dc
you want to see me about?"
Kennedy looked up and down the
whole length of the bar and then ask
ed in an undertone:
"Who is this fellow, Bennington?
Bennington? Why, he says he's
a mining man from Colombia"
whats he doing around Colon?'
81 understand he's taking a vaca-
tion."
"In Colon? Huh! Funny place for a
man to take vacation from Colombia
Out of the frying pan into the fire
I'd say"
"Well, he may enjoy the heat.
That's the story, anyway"
STORY is right" Kennedy growled
Hawley realized suddenly that his
heart was beating faster and the all
was full of tension. He wondered
why, and remarked:
There's a rumor going the rounds
that Bennington is on the Naval In
telligence staff"
Kennedy grunted. "Nav-Intel,
huh?"
$50 they say"
''Well. How longs he been around
Colon?"

month ago." Hawley said, "See here,
Les! What the DEVILS on your mind ?"
PLENTY, fella!"

"Well, what's the low-down?" Haw-
ley demanded.
Don't be fool! I can't talk here"
"Why not?"
Because somebody might hear me.
And if anybody did, I'd probably wake
up in the morning with my throat cut.
That's why not!"
Hawley laughed skeptically, because
it was the obvious thing to do. But
strangely, he didn't feel skeptical. He
felt that Les Kennedy knew what he
was talking about. And yet he said
easily:
"You must be exaggerating, Les.
This business-whatever it is-can't
be as serious as that"
"No? Just you wait and see, fella."
His voice rasped, though he pitched
it low. He caught Hawley by the arm
and his long slim fingers were tense
and hard. Listen, Phil! When this

might already be circling to creep In
from the rear.
With his knife Garth slashed cut the
webs of Dillon's snowshoes. Then,
worming his way backwards, he start
ed to drag the body downslope. The
tree put him under cover from the two
killers near the fire. A drift enabled
him to crawl to another tree without
being seen by the man eff to the left.
A sideward shift brought him to the
shallow channel of the frozen spring
rill. Down the channel few yards,
an up-jut of rock offered complete
cover He swung the body of the con-
stable across his shoulders, stepped
into his snowshoes, and ran aslant
downslope.
Every few seconds that passed with
out the roar of rifle behind him,
meant widened margin of safety.
The pursuers must have failed to no
tice his broken rifle in under the
spruce, or else they thought he was
hiding in the rill channel, waiting for
them to come within range of the con-
stables service pistol.
Whatever the cause of their delay,
he had gained long start before more
yells told him they had cut his trail.
At the outburst, Garth eased off a lit
tie on the desperate speed of his rum
ming.
His fast mushing had already COW
cred three-fourths of the distance to
the stream. 1t was now simple mat
ter of running on to increase his
handicap over the killers. Only lit
tie time would be needed to cast free
the cabin plane. As. she drifted out
in the current, the cross-wind would
swing her around. Then a quick run

Close ahead he caught sight of Lii
18th Ramill. She was sitting on her
snowshoes. Her right foot was drawn
up on her left knee, and she was rub
bling hard at the ankle.
At sight Of the limp body on Garth's
shoulders, she started up, Mortified.
ooh, oh, Alan! Isis he-hurt?"
Murdered. And you-G-d!-you
here, all this way from the plane.
Rifle gone. They're coming. Get up
go back"
"Coming!" she cried. "That MUIR
derer! He'll kill you too! Go on,
Alan. Hurry. I'll follow"
She turned around on her right foot
without, winee or groan, and bent
to slip her moccasins under the toe
thongs of the snowshoes. Deceived
into thinking her sprain not serious,
Garth slued around her and ran on
at his best gait. He would get the
body of Constable Dillon aboard the
plane, and mush back for the girl. If
she followed even at an ordinary walk
ing pace, there might yet be time to
get away.

themselves LIABLE"
"Bah, you cock-capped red Jay, you
can't bluff me-" Huxby gibed. you're
covered. Move, and you get a bullet
through you. Drop that gun and shove
up your hands"
A sideward jumping down-thrown
would have put the constable back in
cover. But he was member of the
Northwest mounted police. Retreat
could no more be considered by him
than surrender Also, he had no au-
thority to shoot his man. The warrant

cused. He had to dc his duty at what
ever risk.

sist," he said.
With that, he raised his right snow
shoe and slid it up a low cross-drift in
a forward step. AS he bent forward
to bring up the other web, rifle
roared in the dense scrub.
Garth fired into the faint haze-puff
of smckeless powder. Back came
bullet that clipped branch at his left
elbow. He shifted sideways towards
the tree trunk, and rose to peer
through a higher opening. A slight
movement of spruce spray in the
scrub brought his rifle to his shoulder.
He paused moment to peer over the
sights his finger kissing the trigger.
Another twitch of that spruce twig.
His finger frightened on the trigger
Crash! He hurled down on his right
side. The first thought that flashed
into his mind was that his rifle had
burst. His right arm had gone numb
as if broken by the shock.
Luckily, he did not at once try to
spring up. AS he paused to feel at
the numb arm with his left hand, the
bark flew from limb close over his
head. The scar Of white wood showed
that the bullet had been fired from off
to his left.
He f1attened down and crawled into
the snowless hollow alongside the tree
trunk. In the hollow lay his rifle. 1t

had not burst. But that was no con-
ISOLATION. The first shot from off to
the left had struck square against the
side of the breech and smashed the
magazine.
One look at the weapon showed that
it was ruined. He wormed past it to
the far side of the tree trunk. During
all the many seconds that had passed
since the firing of the first shot, he
had heard no call nor any sound what
ever from Constable Dillon. He peered
out under the low dropped spruce
bcughs on that side of the tree.
AS he expected, the worst had hap
pened. The policeman lay on his back
He had been shot through the heart.
One glance told Garth the fact that his
companion was beyond all aid.
He looked for the constable's car
bine. 1t was nowhere in sight. The
low drift behind which Dillon had
fallen gave Garth enough cover to
crawl out beside the body. But the
carbine was not under its owner.

feet of the dead man. On the heel of
one web he perched the constable's
cap. He reached out sideways and
lifted the cap so that it peeped above
the top of the drift. The cap tipped
back off the snowshoe, pierced through
by bullet from the scrub beside the
fire.
At the roar of the shot, Garth bobbed
up, three feet to the left, to look for
the missing carbine. 1t lay half buried
in the snow, long 10 feet away. When
shot, Dillon must have flung out his
hands as he pitched over backwards.
In the midst of the convulsive Jerk,
death had loosened his grip on the
carbine.
Huxby had proved he could shoot u
rifle with deadly accuracy, and his
men were nearly as expert. To make
dash for the carbine would be equiv
alent to committing suicide. To lie
quiet would give the killers time to
realize there was no rifle waiting to
meet their attack. The fourth man

Many Madison merchants recall
when this city had four wharfs. In
those days the town had a large
pork industry, starch works, fur

as well as big trade in tobacco, wheat
and other farm products. There
were several competing steamboat
lines making regular calls at Madi-

son also had the only railway con-

Cincinnati and Louisville. Now all
is different. This is still a river town,
nesting between the hills and the
stream, but hard-surfaced roads,
bridges and trucks have eliminated
the port of Madison. A few packets
