"Yeh." Annie paved for a cigaret-
te. 81 thought it'd look bigger if ]
told 'em to do that. One of 'em went
down to the office as soon as the tent
had been put up again."
Hammond shrugged his shoulders.
"I guess that's the end of it."
Kay flared.
"No, it's not the end of it. She
didn't have any right to do it'll I'll
fight for what's mine-if have to"
"Wait minute, Baby" said Annie.
"a dame like you amt going to take
nothing away from the frontier
nurses. Not with a jury of miners
doing the deciding. Specially when
they know all the crookedness there
was mixed up in it."
Hammond Strengthened. A fortune
had been taken from all his possible
hopes of possession. Now he was a.
bout to clinch the argument that would
take it from another.
Besides, Kay, Lew Slade is still
alive. Pm afraid he'd testify for any
body but Bruce Kenning."
Sergeant Terry had strolled into the
anteroom and stood silently by. Now
he scratched match and talked over
the side of his black pipe.
"Kenning tried to murder two men,
Miss Joyce" he said. "Lew Slade is
one, Hammond here the other. More
than that, he set fire to the bush
which is a good deal worse. don't
believe I'd resort to law"
The girl seemed to wilt.
"But what am I going to do? CAM
you understand? I haven't thing
How will I live? How will exist 2
"You still have of the propertie:

terjected. "For that matter, you cal
have all of them-I'm going on, ovel

P. S. Be sure to ask Jeanne.
Wordlessly, he read it again. Word
lessly he handed it to the girl. Her
lips began to tremble as she read
farther. Finally she looked up, her
eyes misty, strangely eager.
"Well," she said brokenly, "are-
you going to ask me?"
A dog sled waited outside Ser
geant Terry's tent the next morning,
it's tarpaulin high over the heaped
provisions necessary to a long jour-
ney. Again, as Jeanne Towers and
Jack Hammond stood before him, the
Sergeant repeated as best he could
from memory the passages of the
wedding ceremony. There was a ring
in his voice now and smile on his
generous, kindly lips. The service
over, he followed them to the dog
team and bowed stiffly, one hand
properly crossed on his snow-flecked
red tunic.
"a kiss for the bride?"
Jack Hammond laughed, his old,
reckless, deep-chested laugh. He re-
leased Jeanne from the arm which
encircled her.
"A kiss for the police" she banter
ed, as she held up her lips.
Sergeant Terry protested. please!

After a time, there was only the
man in red coat and yellow-striped

headed, his stiff-brimmed hat held
high.
