itself in the night it was noon be-
fore O'Hara'S Cree came with the
dogs. Then he ordered Nicky
Grouse to ride on the sled, while
he stopped to gather up his own
pack and make ready to accom-
pany them.
The Cree and the prisoner were
almost fifty yards away when he
went back to the cabin door and
called to the woman.
you can't mean to stay here
alone? When are your friends
coming for you, madame?"
She was standing by the table,
her face in the shadow that was
made deeper by the snow glare
outside. At his words she looked
up, startled. 1t seemed to him that
she was actually frightened; her
lips trembled and her hands, but
she controlled herself.
''Friends? I've no friends here,
m'sieur; how should II" She af-
firmed it holly. Nothing but this

gravely. "You can't, it's horrible

CHAPTER vi

SYNOPSIS: Sgt. Michael
OHara, of the Mounted, is
struck with the beauty of a
young woman at a dance hall.
Her expression betrays grave
trouble. While studying her
features, O'Hara receives a
summons to appear before his
chief, Inspector Macdonald.
Got a case for you, O'Hara,"
says the chief. Looks like dOu-
Die murder" Macdonald out
lines to O'Hara the known de-
tails OF the crime and gives
MN two mink tails which one
OF the victims pulled from the
Slayer'S coat. O'Hara sets out
on the trail and comes upon the
asserted cabin of the murdered
jean Gharian. There is a light
IN it. O'Hara breaks in and
comes face to face with the
young woman he had seen at
the dance hall, Laurie Gharian,
widow of the slain man. She
has been burning some papers.
He finds Mickey Grouse locked
In another room and Iiberates
him. Nicky accuses Laurie of
the murder of his sister and
Gharian. O'Hara finds two guns
on Nlcky and places him under
arrest. Grouse and O'Hara spend
the night at the cabin.

appearing over Its edge. OHara
had no time to lose if he meant
to overtake them, yet he scarcely
had taken dozen steps when he
heard her voice behind him and
suddenly felt her hand on his
| sleeve.
"You're taking him = to pris-
on?' She choked, her eyes follow
ing the track of the sled runners
in the snow.
O'Hara stood still, looking
down at her. Even in that Artic
light her beauty was radiant, she
was so near he could feel her
warm breath on his cheek. Sud
denly she lifted her eyes to his
with a new and pitiful appeal.
''The evidence you have against
him, m'sieur; tits circumstan-
tial?"
ENTIRELY! Must be in a case like
this, Mrs. Gharian. 1t is sufficient,
though"
ooh, mon Dieu" she cried
catching at his sleeve, "don't do
it, don't let him suffer on that?
He might-might be innocent?"
O'Hara smiled grimly. Hell
have a chance to prove that at
the trial"
Her hand fell from his arm and
she shrank back, dumb. If she
had a secret S ha meant to keep
it. O'Hara drew glove from his
breast and held it out to her.
"Your's?" he asked quietly.
She took it and the color leaped
into her face. "You-you found
this, m'sieur?"
AT French Pete's, where you
dropped it under the table the
other night"
She was startled. She flushed,
staring at the glove, then sudden
ly, she hid her face upon it, and
breaking down in sudden and VIC
lent weeping, fled from him into
the cabin.
$50 you've brought in Grouse as
the only suspect, and you've
covered the ground up there thor
oughly; that's the long and short
of your report, then, O'Hara?"
''The whole of it so far, In
spector."
Macdonald turned around in his
chair and eyed the sergent sharp
ly. What ails the bunch of your"
he asked tersely. what the
devils got into this case? You're
like johnson, now; You're holding
something back!"
O'Hara's face crimsoned. I'm
asking leave to check up on it
further, Inspector. If I can clear
up one or two points I'll lay it all
before you. If I don't" he drew a
letter from his pocket, "I'll re-
sign. I'd like to leave this with
you sir. If I don't report in six
days, open it,"
His chief took the sealed en-
velope and looked at it curiously,
then he glanced up at his subor-
dinate's set face. Something had
happened to O'Hara. He looked
older, more worn; there was even
a sag in his ordinarily erect, con-
fident bearing.
Macdonald carefully pigeon
holed the letter. Then he struck
his heavy hand on his desk. You're
planning some daredevil risk,
Sergeant, and leaving this in case

half French, half Cree, an oath
here, song there, the uproar Of
quarrel that subsidized suddenly
at sight of his uniform. Then
from somewhere, derisive laugh.
1t pricked him like a knife thrust.
In an instant he was iron, every
nerve strung taunt, the manhunt-
er in him leaped up like Gagged
tiger. He felt neither pity nor
remOrse.

Again she cooked for him, and
again Grouse refused to eat her
food, choking down his bareback
with a dry throat. The meal was
more difficult than supper, though
she was calm, but once when
OHara accidentally touched her
hand she flushed and her eyes
fell.
Although the storm had spent

of your death. very well! You
men have to take chances, but
you're a good officer and I don't
want to lose you. I'll give you an
assistant. Who do you want?"
''No one, sir" O'Hara's voice
was harsh. mo one can do what
I've got in mind. I'd like to finish
this job myself, Inspector"
"Then go ahead; you've got
orders. If you need more expense
money it's here. If you're not back
in six days, I'll" He did not
finish but nodded at the envelope
which showed conspicuously in its
pigeonhole.
Once again he turned his
searching eyes on the sergent
and could have sworn O'Hara
WINGED. Yet the officers weather
bronzed face and his tight shut
lips were calm as he saluted at
the door. A moment later it shut
behind him and his chief was a
lone.
"NOW what the deuce is up?"
Macdonald unused, nettled by
curiosity he found difficulty to
quell. Give half a mind" His
hand went toward the sealed en-
velope, then he let it fall on the
desk. "No!' I'll play fair, and
wait six days, though l believe
he's going to risk his life, doesn't
expect to come back alive-and
he's a mighty valuable mani"
Again he meditated, strumming
on his desk, but he was used to
these things. Men were sent out
to their deaths sometimes, to
danger Of it often; what matter,
if it was for the good Of the SER
vice? The service was the inspec-
tors second girl yet his eyes
clouded a moment later when he
saw O'Hara cross the snowy space
before his window, erect and
strong, in all the vigor of his
splendid manhood.
''The best subordinate I've gotw
he muttered. "I'll wait just six
days; then Gayle can 60 after
him." He touched a button and
Sent orders out about the careful
failing of Nicky Grouse. Hes
safe anyway" he thought. Zone
young daredevil behind the bars
until it's cleared up I'm far from
convinced that he could have done
tor did"
O'Hara, meanwhile, unconscious
that he had stirred strange un-
easiness in his chiefs mind, went
about his business, a business
that sent an unaccustomed chill to
his stout heart. For once, he sick
ened deeply at his task.
Hunting men, that's been my
business, he unused bitterly. And
then, half aloud, MAY God for
give me if I'm wrong now"
He had a sudden recollection of
Nicky Grouse on the way to pri-
son, rebellious, snarling, vowing
to get even. Yet the boy. was so
young, and there had been, hith-
erto, certain charm in his devil
may-care-freedom. OHara had
seen him once dancing a jig at
French Pete's amid the uproar-
ious laughter of the voyageurs.
He had loved his sister, too, that
first shooting of Gharian had
stirred the sergeant with some
thing akin to sympathy. Yet he
had dragged the boy to prison,
was leaving him in peril of his
life.
MY business that" he cried
again to himself, and thrust his
hand into his pocket to feel for
that small object he had found
in the snow beside the frozen
creek.
It was strange that Johnson had

DOG DISCOVERS
ABANDONED BABE
in JUNK BASKET

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-P>-There's
a blue-eyed, r%ed-haired baby boy
in St. Vincent's orphanage. s;id al
though he doesn't know it. He owes
a lot to a persistent little moagre]
dog named Pal.
Pal, the pet of nine year old
Jack Hand was trotting down al
alley yesterday with his master.
Suddenly he stopped, nuzzled a
basket lying on the pavement.
Jack called him, he later told
police, but Pal shifted and barked,
calling his master back to the bas-
het.
Inside the basket, wrapped in
newspapers. the youngster found a
baby. Jacks mother, Mrs. La
Verne Hand, and police rushed the
infant to a hospital, where three
physicians said the child probably
had been born without medical aid
about six hours previously. The
baby was in tip-top health.
II guess I thought the basket
was just full of oid.junk and news
papers," Jack told policemen, "but
Pal just wouldn't leave it alone.
Mrs. Hand, the mother of four
besides Jack, said she's been
tempted to keep the baby herself.
"He's so cute" he explained, eff
only he had been a girl"
Police are searching for the
child's parents.
