IN CANADA BAYER From an inslde pocket Breed drew for a equare white envelope with a broken seal of red wax, and from it extracted a folded sheets of cream tinted paper. Scarcely had Steele taken the note in his hands when a quick thrill passed through him. Beâ€" fore he had read the first line he was conscious again of that bauntâ€" ing eweetmess in the air he ‘breathed â€"the perfume Oof hyacinth. There was not only this perfume, but the same paper, the same delicately pretty writing of the letter be had ‘‘Well, two, then," said Breed, who hbed not caught the flash of fire in the other‘s eyes. "But I tell you there aln‘t a one here, Steele, not even an Indianâ€"and that dirty Cree, Jack, is doing the cooking. Blessed Sainte, I caught bim mixing dough in the wash basin the other day, and I‘ve been eating those biscuits ever \slnoe our people went out to their ‘trnpllnee! There‘s you, and Nome, two Crees, & ‘hall and myselftâ€"and that‘s every soul there‘ll be at Lac Bain until the midâ€"winter run of fur. Now, what in Heaven‘s yame is the poor old Mrs. Colonel going to do?" "Got a bed for her?" "A bunkâ€"hard as nails!" "Good grub?" ‘‘Rotten‘" groaned the factor. ‘"Every trapper‘s son of them took out big eupplies this fall and we‘re stripped. _ Beans, flour, sugar‘n‘ prunesâ€"and caribou until I feel like turning inside out every time I emell it. I‘d give a month‘s commission tor‘ a pound of pork. Look here! If this letter aln‘t ‘quality‘ you can cut me into liggers. Bet the Mrs. Colonel wrote it for he_r hubl{y." _ Steele shrugged his shoulders as Ereed mentioned the three women at Nelson. "There are Only two women thera muow," he replied. "Since a certain Bucky Nome passed that way, one of them has gone into the South." A Face out of the @teele came up to m-" Bay Company‘s post at Lac Bain on the eeventh day after the = storm. and Breed, the fuctor, two important bits of information to Rim while he was thawing out before the big boxâ€"stove in the company‘s deâ€" sefted and supplyâ€"stripped store. The first was that a certazin Colonel Becker and his wife had left Fort Churchill, on Hudson‘s Bay, to make a visit at Lac Bain; the second, that Buck Nome had gone westward & week before and had not returned. Breed was worried, not over Nome‘s projonged ebsence, but over the an ‘tlclpntod arrival Oof the other two. According to the letter which had come to him from the Churchili facâ€" tor, Calonel Becker and his wife had come over on the last supply ship from London, and the colonel was a high official in the company‘s serâ€" vice. Also, he was an old gentleman. Ostensibly he had no business at Lac Bain, but was merely on a vacation, and wished to see a bit of real life in the wilderness. Breed‘s grissled face was miserâ€" able. "Why don‘t they send ‘em down tc York Fectory or Nelson House*" he demanded of Steels. "They‘ve got duck feathers, three women, and a civilized factor at the Nelson and there ain‘t any of ‘em hereâ€"not even a woman!" i The Pursuit "I‘ll go out and meet them, anyâ€" way," he comforted. "Have Jack fix "Hase got her nerve," growled Breed irreverently. "It wouldn‘t be so ‘bad if it was only the colonel. But an old womanâ€"ugh! What he doesn‘t think of she‘ll remind him of, you can depend on that." Steele thought of his mother, who looked at things through a magnifyâ€" ing lorgnette, and laughed a little cheerleesly. ‘Breed‘s face brightened in an stant. ‘Nonsense!" exclaimed Steele. A sudden flash shot into his face as he looked hard at Breed. "See here, tow would you like to have me go out to meet them*?" he asked. "Sort of a welcoming committee of ons, you know. Before they got here I could casually give ‘em to underâ€" etand what Lac Bain has been up against during the last two eeasons." "That might save us, Steele. Will you do it?" "With pleasure." Philip was conscious of an inâ€" creasing warmth in his face as he bent over his plate. "You‘re sureâ€" they‘re elderly people?" he asked. ‘‘That is what MacVeigh wrote me from Churchill; at least he said the colonel was an old man." "And his wife?" "I tell you, it may mean the short tirch for me, Steele," said the factor gloomily. "Lac Bain is just now the emptiest, most fallenâ€"toâ€"pleces unâ€" businessâ€"like post betweén the Athaâ€" basca and the Bay. We‘ve had two bad seasons running, and everything has gone wrong. Colonel Becker is a big one with the company, Ain‘: no doubt about that, and ten to one he‘l! think it‘s a new man that‘s wanted here." sorbed in his own troubles to Oobâ€" serve any possible change in himself or to as_k qqeefiom about the letter. supper. Before he responded to it, Steele wound the silken thread of gold about his finger, then placed it carefully among the papers and cards which he carried in his leathetr wallet. His face was flushed when he joined the factor. Not since the night at the Hawkins‘ ball, when he had felt the touch of a beautiful woâ€" man‘s hands, the warmth of her breath, the soft sweep of her hair against his lips as he had leaned over her in his halftsurrender, had thought of woman stirred him as he felt himself stirred now. He was glad that Breed was too much ab He rose slowly, holding the hair between him and the light. His fingers trembled, his breath came quickly. ‘The hair had fallen upon his knee from the letterâ€"or the enâ€" velope, and it was wonderfully like her hair! From the direction of the factor‘s quarters came the deep bellowing of Breed‘a mocsehorn, calling him to ...:.l:_lx interesting to teill me at sup ve sharp. It will be a blessing if you know ‘em." Ten minutes latef Stecle was in the little cabin which he and Nome eccupied while at Lac Bain. Jack, the Cree, had built a rousing fre in the long sheetiron stove, and as Steele opened its furnaceâ€"like door, a flood Of light poured out into the gathering floom of early evening. Drawing & chair tfull into the light, he again opened the letter. Line for line and word for word he scrutinâ€" ized the writing, and with each breath that he drew he found himâ€" self more deeply thrilled by a curiâ€" ous mental excitement which it was impossible for him to explain. Acâ€" cording to the iletter, Colonel and Mre. Becker had arrived at Churchill aboard the London ship a little over & month previously. He remembered that the date on the letter from the girl was aix weeks Old. At the time 1t was written, Colonel Becker and his wife were either in London or Liverpool, or crossing the Atlantic. No matter how similar the two letâ€" ters appeared to him, he realized that, under the circumstances, the same person could not have written them both. For many minutes he sat back in his chair, with his eyes hallâ€" closed, absorbing the comforting heart of the fire. Again the old viâ€" slon returned to bim. In a subconâ€" acious sort of way he found himself fighting against it, as he had strugâ€" gled a score of times to throw off its ipre-ence. aince the girl‘s letter had come to him. And this time, as \betore. his effort was futile. He saw her againâ€"and always as on that Dight of the Hawkins‘ bail, eyes and lips emiling at him, the light shining gloriously in the deep red gold of her hair. With an effort Steele aroused himâ€" self and looked at his watch. It was a quarter of five. He stooped to close the stove door, and stopped ‘suddenâ€" ly, his hand reaching out, head and shoulders hunched over. Across his knee, ehining in the firelight, like a thread of apun gold, lay a single filaâ€" ment of a woman‘s hair. Still, it‘s mighty queer. Will you let me keep the letter until toâ€"night?

Husband: "If ‘a man steaisâ€"no matter whatâ€"he will live to regret The thought sent his nails biting into the flesh of his palms and he sank back with a curse that held more of misery than blasphemy. Physical exhaustion rather than deâ€" sire for sleep closed his eyes, at last, in haltâ€"slumber, and after that the face seemed nearer and more real to him, until it was close at his side, and was speaking to him.

He knew, as he sat with clenched hands staring eyes, that chiefly he was loning for a womanâ€"a woman whose eyes and lips and sunty bair hauntâ€" ed him after months of forgetful ness, and whose face smiled at him luringly, now, from out the leaping flashes of fireâ€"tempting him, calling him over a thousand miles of space. And If he yieldedâ€" It was miduight before he went to bed. He was up with the first cold gray of dawn. All that day he strode sleadily eastward on snowshoes, over the company‘s trail to the bay. Two {:.m before duek he put up his light t, gathered balsam for a bed, and butlt a fire of dry spruce against the face of a huge rock in front of his shelter. It was still light when he wrapped himsell in his blanket ‘and lay down on the bailsam, with his feet stretched out to the reflectâ€" ed heat of the big rock. It seemed to Steele that there was an unnatural etillness in the air, as the night thickened beyond the rim of frelight and, as the gloom grew stiil deeper, blotting out his vision in iuky blackâ€" ness, there crept over him slowly a feeling of loneliness. It was a new sensation to Steele, and he shivered as he sat up and faced the fire. It was this same quiet, this same unâ€", ending mystery of voiceless dwhâ€"] tion that had won him to the North.
