CHAPTER TX

Synopsis: Sgt. Michael o.
Rara, OF the Mounted, is sum
r2oned to appear before his
chief, Inspector Macdonald, who
outlines the known details of a
cri.re committed in the north
ern Wilds. O'Hara comes upon
the deserted cabin of the muir
dered jean Charian, breaks in
and comes face to face with
Laurie Gharian, widow of the
slain man, whom he suspects
of having murdered both Char
ian and NinOn Grouse. Nicky
Grouse, brother of the murder
ed woman, who was locked in
the cabin, is liberated by o.
Hara. Grouse accuses Laurie of
the murder of her husband and
MS sister. O'Hara brings Grouse
back to headquarters and goes
to LIE Pas where he arrests the
half breed, Duval, and forces
him to drive to Laure's cabin.
Here Duval suddenly attacks
O'Hara. O'Hara's life is saved
by Laure's pleading. She tells
Duval she will go back with
O'Hara of her own free will.
1t is a hard assignment for
O'Hara, for he not only be-
lives Laure guilty but is in
love with her. The three set
out together.

into velet blackness, and came
out Of it in singing pain. AT
first he could not see. Then he
tried to lift his right arm and
could not; it hung helpless. A
thrObbing pain swept every limb.
He tried to think and seemed to
be wrapped in a cray mist Then
he remembered how he had fallen.
He struggled to his knees and
tried to clutch at the slippery ice
with his left hand. He gripped a
bit of the ledge and chung to it,
his eyes still blinded by the pain
in his head. The wide stretch of
snow about him seemed to reel
crafty, to be dyed all colOrs of
the rainbow. Then, knowing him
self caught and helpless, he called
for help, shouting to them
Duval and the woman. Where
were they? He tried to raise him
self SO he could see over the rocks.
The trail dropped from the
ledge, where he had fallen. into
the snow barrenS. For miles there
showed no other break, only the
rise and fall of drifted snow on a
flat land where only the tops of
young spruce trees showed above
the white waste. The ice fields
stretched endlesSly; and the wind
swept across them with light fur
ries Of dry snow, forsted spume of
the great frozen drifts beyond.
Duval had halted the sled and
was looking back.
O'Hara shouted to him. "DuVal!
Come back. I'm helpless. Come
backw
For an instant the breed seemed
to hesitate. Then his long whip
whirled. the huskies answered
with sharp yelps, the sled lurched
forward and broke into wild
flight.
O'Hara shouted again, FURIOUS
ly, desperately. Then he tried to
climb, and fell forward into snow,
the burning ache in his broken
arm and the dizzy blindness be-
setting him, while the cold seized
him and held him like a wise.
Icicles were forming on his hair
and in the corners of his eyes. He
breathed with difficulty. Soon he
would be unable to move. He
struggled madly, but every move
ment increased the agony. Duval
was escaping with his prisoner;
they had abandoned him to his
fate. His fate? How we'll he
knew what it would be! After
long agony he would freeze to
death. And afterward, perhaps
before the end-wolves.
He was able to make little effort
after that, but fell into a kind
of twiching stupor. The pain in
his head was horrible. The sooner
the biting cold got in its work, the
better. He no longer tried to
think but buried his head on his
left arm and set his teeth to keep
back the groans which sprang to
his lips. Once his hand went to
his pistol, but he did not remove
the weapon from the holster. No
please God, he would die like a
man, not like a coward afraid to
face mortal agony. He felt the
chill of it creeping into his senses.
Again that deadly faintness seized
him. The cold EMBODIED him like a
mantle, he raised his head feebly
but he could see nothing but
wastes Of snow and above them
the memorable Arctic sky. Then
he grew dizzy again, dizzy and
unearthly cold, only the burning
pain in his broken arm keeping
him conscious of life. Objects

Over and over again, the same
battle, his duty and his sudden,
overwhelming attachment for the
woman. Then, when he felt her
cooling hand on his hot forehead,
or tasted the water she pressed to
his parched lips, he raised glazed
eyes to her and murmured brok-

The words trickled through his
consciousness. A glare shone in
the room. He tried to rise and
was thrust back into-nothing-

1t was morning when he opened
his eyes again. Through the door
of the outer room he heard a ket-
tie singing loudly on the stove
Then he suddenly was aware that
his broken arm lay in splints, and
that his head had cleared. Dimly
things came back to him. A doc

from somewhere.

"YOu're awake, Missouri" She
was smiling; there was something
like thrill of Joy in her voice as
she knelt beside him, lifting a
cup to his lips. "You must eat
something now, and get strong

The hot broth tasted good after
his long fast He finished the cup.
''The pain in your head isn't
so bad now, m'sieur? Your fever's
almost gone, and you've slept off

bending over him, and the light
from the other room touched her
face with a softened glow.
He lifted a fold of her dress to
his lips and kissed it humbly.

She rose from her knees, flush

was harsh. why did you let

 w. T. Sherwood, assistant conl- missioner of internal revenue, told the committee late yesterday that some of the features of the House bill would be hard to ad- minister.

 Delegate Bartlett said Ralph Rivers, attorney general of the Territory, will file a petition in a day or so asking the commission Q suspend the rates pending a hearing.
