After a hard trip north, with many bazardsâ€"and Speed killed a man at Skagway, the manager of a shell game who was out to get Speed â€"the two partners made camp for the winter near Bennett, where the Canadian Mounties held sway. Drew, head of the Mounties there, said there .was a strange legend about a ghostly Siwash who left tracks in the snowâ€"his new man Cathcart was ~pecially interested in it. One night the two partnere were surprised to. |have a halfstarved dog join them while they were eating steaks from a doer Speed had just shot. A little later a man came out of the storm to themâ€"the ghostly apparition of the Mounties‘ legend, they decidedâ€" and took hall their deer.

Meeting his, they dropped in bewilderment to the bunk. Aiter an hour or <o the pain began to relent, "I can‘t ever thanx yon, Bud," she murmured. "Forget that and try to sleep.

"I‘ll have to travel as soon as the storm dies," she said npon waking, hours later. "But why, Pete? If it‘s because you needâ€"* She chook her head in troubled reâ€" verse.

I asked Mill about it once and he said I‘d ‘been chewin‘ loco weed. There wasn‘t no such horee in the range. He said the on‘y kin 1 had was a prospector who‘d left Neâ€" vada, and he wasn‘t a man J would want to remember." The enigmatical figure of the man with the muklaks : loomed acrose Maitland‘s mind. s "Sometimes, when Bill was drinkâ€" ug, he‘d mutter about this prospecâ€" tor ~Dalton, he called him. He epoke as if he‘d grubstaked him once, ‘to be rid of him. ‘They had a jealous quarrel over a woman Bill was marâ€" ried to, I think, and I was mixed in it someway. He never talked of it when he was sober." â€" That fragment cast the shadow 0j a strange trlangle, though Pete seemed unaware of anything tragic in its reference to her. After this breakup she had lived alone with | the brooding Owensâ€"a secluded life. She did not say what had brought ‘him North at last to join the prosâ€" pector who had wronged him, nor ‘u}mt her own adventures had been "ufl(-r his death, or why she had reâ€" cently left the raftera‘ camp on the |Lews with the intention of going out. ELEVENTH INSTALLMENT "Iâ€"saw him." Pete eaid, in an oddly withdrawn tone. "Did ydu ever find Dalton?" Mait land asked, after a silence Speed reached the corridor in a bound. _ More hesitantly Maitland asked, "Did you remember him?" "I don‘t know." Her voice bad the same troubled con«traint. "In a kind of way." "This is none of my business, Pete, but why didn‘t he take you with him?" Her hand brushed her eyes wic« i shadowy gesture. "I can‘t ... My head‘s kind of jumbled, Bud." _ 0 The cell of the Skagway jail was a plain thickstudded box, except for a small grilled vent in the seaward wall, and the cot on which Speed wos sitting, inwardly raw with chaâ€" grin. Outwardly he wore an air of composure for the benefit of the heaâ€" vily armed guard in the passage, on the other «ide of the grated cell door. "Anyway you‘re eafe now, Pete," he said. "By the time you‘re able to travel. we‘ll figure something better for you than going out." Being arrested on the charge of having murdered the shell dealer in thi, camp last fall, was bad enough. But he had not discerned the real teeth in the trap until Fallon entered the marshal‘s office, just before he was committed to the cell. Now when he thought of his dog team waiting for him by the wareâ€" hcuse wharf. and of Drew waiting at Tagish for the mail and freight he had been trusted to deliver, it was all he could do to refrain from gettâ€" ing up and kicking the wall. The blizzard had caused a disrupâ€" tion in Drew‘s mail service at a criâ€" tieal lime when the inspector was short of a driver. A sled shipment of gold was to be run to Skagway and a packet of mail brought back, containing a considerable amount of bank currency consigned to Daweon against the gold. Drew‘s choice of a substitute conrier had been good gambling. Speed knew that life had left mark; on him legible enough to that veteran judge of men. On delivering the gold to the wharf agent in Skagway, he had not been able to pick up his sled load immeâ€" diately for the return trip. A ship lay in the gulf in a twinkling floteam oj shore ice.. Mer arrival, delayed by the storm, was being celebrated as a harbinger of Spring and epoils. Even the shore crew was drunk, furâ€" ther retarding the loading of her cargo. _ Meanwhile the mail was brought ashore, and the agent, nerâ€" vous enough at having custody of the gold, was still nfore uneasy about the police _ mailâ€"an _ oilskinâ€"wrapped and «cealed packet of bank notes in easily portable form. His strongâ€"box had ‘been broken recently by thieves, and the packet was presumptively sater in the game pocket of Speed‘s coat. Facts to be read by the marâ€" shal as indicating that Speed had wtolen the regular mail runner‘s orâ€" ders, had delivered the gold to Obâ€" tain the mail, and had been preventâ€" ed from taking the ship only by the longshore tieâ€"up. The strangely timed event that left him open to capture, occurred during the forced wait. With many houre to kill. he had decided to visit Steiner at what was now Skagway‘s General Store, ‘Money lending was one of his gold mines, and epeaking of curions pledges, he mentioned an oddly shaped cloverleaf nugget on which he had loaned something more than its waight to a gambling client. ‘Then the hunt was on. The client wore a dicer hat and stnttered; was known as "Lefty" and suspected of ‘heing a pickpocket. Speed ran the man to earth in a gambling tent, where he cnt into the same poker game, and dealing Lefty a hand on which the thief would wilâ€" lingly have bet his shirt, lured the nugget into the game on a raieed pot. The shining, foliated piece of gold was weighed on the ‘bar ecales and played for twice its gold value. Speed won it with a straight flush. When Lefyt disconsolately quit the table, Speed grilled him about the nugget. Under: presenre, the thiel maintained the extraordinary atory that he had lifted it in Skagway from the pocket of a man now deadâ€"the whell dealer, in fact, whom iSpeed had shot at the door of The Pack Train ealoon In order to learn something more about the man with the dicer, Spood had been looking for Rose when the marshe} seised him. ‘That the man he was accused of murdering should be the man who had brought the nugget to Skagway, was an apparently perverse loop of the influence he called luck. Now it lay in the marehalÂ¥ safe, along with Speed‘s guns and the mail. Speed‘s breath smoked in the old cold cell. They had freed he hands, aud had not troubled to remove his gun beltâ€"signs that pointed to brief imprisonment and swift judgment, although this was his second day in the cell. He did not notice the darkening of the cell, or the wilder music that sounded from the camp during his long abetraction <t was the opening of the sfreet door that made bim aware of both. There was a different tread in the passage; different, yet somehow familiar "Take it in yourself," the guard growled testily to a shadow by the grating. The big door was unlocked, and va the figure edged into the ‘some what clearer fight of the cell, Speed understood why he had been trying to place the footfall in his memory. The mien who confronted him was Frenchy. carrying a plate and curyâ€" ing his chest to bring a deputy‘s badge into more formidable promiâ€" ‘lleflce, Speed bit his cheek as he glanced over the contents of the plate withâ€" out accepting it. "Well, you‘re a nice one. Frenchy," h commented mildly. "So they give you a deputy‘s star Looks good on ve, too." The exâ€"ficherman squirmed back a little, not quite able to keep a firm front with that even voice in his Pats. "You don‘t forget, neither, do you, Frenchy?" his prisoner â€" acknowâ€" Jedged. eyeing the fisb, and then the knife in Mis belt, on which his free hand had closed. "Are you the marâ€" shal‘s official sticker?" Narrow black eyes beaded with a rankling heat which . only blood could quench, as the cool gray ones of his defenseles, priconer lifted to his face The pause srated on the impatient gnard at the door. "If that‘s the best you can do, frog, back out her_e with them plates before he takea your knife and carves ye." "Reckon this feller don‘t know who he‘s callin‘, Frenchy." Speed obâ€" served, as the fisherman backed an involuntary step or two. "Tell him what you done to Horse McGinnis of Spokane. Tell him you could lick ten halfâ€"baked depities tike him with one foot." An oath trom the guard showed that Frenchy‘s elevation to office was not popular with the marshal‘s aquad. He «wnng the door, and hooked the fisherman with a boot: toe to «peed his exit In that finely measured instant, Speed jumped for the door. Speed reached the corridor in a bound. A gun blazed out of the dark tangle but he was already clear of the paseageway and gone. The ceanvas between the frame amd the rafters was dark. Unfortuâ€" nately or otherwise, Steiner was out, Speed cut a slit in the canvas, and climbing through the _ aperture, dropped inside Though the tent had looked dark from outside, its interior was vagueâ€" ly illnmined hy a filtered wavering flow from the km-qsm flare in the street it faced on.‘ mmaging un covered a crowbar of handy size, !l\l a drawer he found a collection of eixâ€" | «hooters. which «aid little for Steinâ€" or‘s judgment of firearms, but he quickly picked out a A45, loaded it from his own belt and put it in the holster Still the object of his search eludâ€" ed him. He was beginning to think that the Jew had done some empty bousting when his eye fell on a longish box in the car corner, under a ehelf. He pulled it out. and deliâ€" cately prying it open with the bar, put his fingers inslde. With a grunt of relief, he removed the cover and took out two gticks of dynamite. As he dropped in the snow and paused to listen, his skin prickled with a sense of some lurking presâ€" ence close by, soundless and unseen. He started swiftly ‘back along his previous trail through the tents, without touching the gun at his belt. Speed crouched forward tensely, gripping the bar. as u dark shape brushed along the fent wall within a yard of him_ In that instant of its disclosure, his hand langed out and Until Kruschen Brought Relief. > "For three " writes a woâ€" ,.-u.“umu':'hhum‘ " |neuritis in my hips and Last * -hmlum‘huult'!-l- Saits, and got relief from the first f | dose.

A shore party had been combing the beach. The empty boats at mooring and the ship in the gulf would naturally suggest that way of escape. As he sprang erect, his sharp whistle pierced the dusk. Speed yielded the bar. Lying in the drift, his gun covered the only door to the jail, so the chance Of Lefty‘s playing bim double was "Barry Scott, M.D.", by Rhoda Truax, (E. ~P.
