Synopsis of Preceding Chapters.
Louie Vogel, a notorious criminal,
is, offered $5,000 by Lebrun, to kidnap
Judge Graham, tensor of evil -deers.
As Lebrun , leaves "Silver Danny's"'
saloon, he is observed by Ralph
Charlten of the Departtneee of Just-
tice Who has dubbed him "The Gray
Wolf." Vogel takes the $1,Q00 given
him to hind the compact to Stella
Lathrop, a country girl he had found
starving in the city and befriended.
Stella is now earning honest wages M
a factory and refuses to marry Vogel
unless he gives up his evil ways.„ She
has, however, fallen, a convert to
:Bolshevism. Vogel carries out his pact.
Judge Graham lies bound in a shack
sense miles out of the city. "The Gray
Wolf" demands that the Judgeeshoeld
let certain prisoners off with merely
1 a fele. Threats of death for himself
mei torture for his son have no weight
with the just Judge. Charlton becomes
suspicious of "The Gray Wolf" and
Vogel. Stella Lathrop joins the Inner
Council. Charlton visited Stella to

abouts, and when leaving the hotel

'Vogel rush to her rescue.
CHAPTER VIII,
\
Stella Takes a Rand. - Almost in. the instant that "Big
/Louie" charged through Stella's door-
way and laid violent hands upon her
annoyer, he recognized that it was
none other than Lebrune. The bullet
from the automatic which "The Gray
1 Wolf" whipped from his pocket as the
doer fell in passed between Vogel's
arm and his body and buried itself in
the wall. Before Lebrun° could fire
again tae, gunman was upon him in a
whirl of berserker rage. He seized his
employer by the throat, shook him
until he felt his bedy growing limp
within his grasp, then hurled it, from
him into the hail beyond. He did not
know whether he tied killed Lebrune
or not. He did nut care, At that mo-
reent the thought uppermost in his
mtnel was that this woman whom Ii
loved had been hurt, for in a relmic
he had sited up the overturned furni-
ture, her clothes almost torn from her
body and the livid marks upon her
neck where "The Gray Wolf's" sinewy
fingers had pressed. But finding that
te, a was not badly injured and the
a crowd was gathering and pushin
through the doorway he calmed him
self, explaining that she had been, at
good, That dog that I jest now
throwed out of here has got the goods
on me, and he'll 'set the bulls on me,
hotfoot. And once 'I'm gone I classen't
come hack. So tell you good-bye
here and now, My dreams is all blow -
ed up and I can't never have yu like I
hoped. Give rne jest one kiss to re-
member yu by, girl, before I go."
"Louie, take me with you. Take me
with you," she cried. "I can't let you
go and never see you again."
Her arms went around his neck and
she clung to him tightly.
"No, no, honey. Don't tempt me,"
he said passionately even as his arms
went about her and he crushed her
yielding form to, him. "I've got to be
far away from here in anhhour from
now and I must give my pals a chance
I to make their getaway. It means I
cut down on my own chances, but
they've got a right to have some
chance and they won't get it unless I
give it to 'em. No, honey, you can't
go. Good-bye."
But a/ready she had wrenched her -
Self free of him and was throwing
over her torn garments a one-piece
dress. Without stopping to button it
she picked up a light coat and jam-
med upon her head the first hat she
laid hands upon.
"I'm ready," she announced. "For
Louie, I've got to run, too. I ain't
done nothing croaked knowingly, but
that fellow that you threw out has
got me, 'too. And if he aims to be
-revenged upon you he'll try it on me,
too."
"We ain't got no time for explana-
tions," said Vogel. "If era say, yu
have reasons to'makea run for it I've
got to believe yu. If ase are lyin' to
me now I'll know it later and I won't
never forgive yu for it.. But if yu
are tellin' the truth 'be at the door
downstairs in ten minutes from now
and I'll pick yu up in the car."
Stella was waiting in a mixture of
impatience and fear when he drove
tip.. Leaving the engine running, he
dashed into the hotel; dropped a bill
el upon the desk to settle for the rent
e which he and Stella owed and without
waiting for his change, rushed, out,
climbed' into the car beside her, threw
in the clutch' and sped away.
Stellawas in a cold 'sweat as they
shot through the streets turned
t
corners ' on two wheels and 'escaped
g I accidents by hairs' .breadths. ,For she
ei had told Vogel the truth. Lithe mo -
meat that he had begun to tell her
eked by a drunken stranger and that
he had come upon the scene just in
time to take a hand. The crowd melt-
ed away. Such things were every -day
occurrences in their lives.
! Even as he consoled the girl,
• Vogel's mind was rapidly running
•
over the position in which he was
:placed. There came to him the fear
:In that moment that at last he had
perpetrated that dreaded "slip," that
Lebrune would be thirsting for re-
venge for his rough handling and
Vogel saw most clearly just how Le-
; brune could go about getting that
revenge. It wasnthe thing which
'Vogel himself might have done had
conditions been reversed. An ariony-
reous telephone call to the police
hinted that judge Graham was to be
found in the abandoned shack and that

could see the hounds of the law bay-
ing' on his trail immediately. He knew

to insure his safety and that was in

that his only -avenue of safety lay in
fleeing from the wrath of Lebrune she
realized that she, too, was in the same
predicament. It was unthinkable that
"The Gray Wolf," if he set the law
upon Vogel because of their clash in
her room, would permit her to escape
the consequences of her rejection of
his advances. Being the cause of the
severity With which Vogel had 'handled
him, she had no hopes that Lebrune
would be content to avenge -himself
, upon the one and not upon the other.
She knew that she could never con-
fide in Vogel about the Inner Council
because she did -not hold her oath be-
fore it lightly, even though she now
Iceew that it had been given through
misunderstanding of the real pur-
poses of this radical organization with
which she had allied herself:
She breathed more freely when they
were out of the heavier traffic of the
streets and were spinning along a
macadetn road leading toward the city
limits. But not so Vogel. Surrepti-
tious glances over his shoulder had
revealed to him that they were being
followed by a big black car. He had
turned corners and doubled, on his
trail once to make sere that he was,
right and still the black' car hung'.

them had the blowout and net us."
eet bimeela grimly to getting out
of the ca' every ounce of power whieh
it possessed, and its wheels fairly
eine:lied the road beneath them.
Vegel turned ofi along a narrow
rutty read and followed it ler two
miles before he left it, drove througl
a triage, of dense woods arid pause(
before an abandoned looking, weather
beaten building which M dilYe gone by
had been a home of sonic sort,
"If they follow us here they wil
have to be some trackers," he remarked
as the can jolted to a step
evil -leaking men emerged from th
shack to greet them.
"Liaten!"! Stalin's keen ears had de
teeted a sound as yet unheard by th
men. Far down ,the road on the othei
side of the trees a motorcar was
chugging along at low speed, evident-
ly „finding the going rough in the
rutty road, Then they plainly heard
it drawing nearer. It was coming
through the trees toward them.
"They've trailed us, It's the cops,'
cried Stella.
But Vogel's hearing was more
acute. Too, he had sighted a gray
roadster body between the tree trunks.
"No, it's/not the cope. It' e him,"
he corrected her. He never had learn-
ed Lebrune's name. But both the girl
and his hirelings, knew to whom he
referred, "He means business. Stell,
you go into the house 'and get under
cover in the basement. Tom and Jerry,
scatter behind some of these here
trees, Don't take a hand in no aegu-
ment unless he gits me. Then make
him 'beat it and give the girl a chance."
Immediately they carried out his in-
structions. Vogel himself, scorning
protection of a tree or other shield,
took a position out in the open. In
each hand he held one of the heavy
revolvers taken from the holsters
strapped to his belt.
Lebrune brought the roadster to a
stop that made the brakes squeal with
its violence. Evidently he was taken
aback by the warlike preparations of
his tools.
"Stay whereyu are," yelled Vogel.
"If yu come any nearer begin to
pumpin' lead at yu."
"What's the Idea?" yelled back Le-
bru"The idea is that I don't take no
stock in yu, mister," replied the gun-
man. "I'm off the job. I'm blowin'
away from here and I don't want no
more truck with yu. Now start the
benzine buggy back toward town and
move fast, If ITU ain't on yer way
agin the Eine I cunt ten these babies
o' mine are - goin' to make yu think
the war ain't over. One, two, three;'
but already Lebrune had thrown in
the clutch and was backing the gray
roadster for a turn,
"I'll get you for this, you double-
crossing crook," he roared. A bullet
spat against the frame of the car
dangerously near to him and he step-
ped on the accelerator and drove atI
reckless speed --Icross the rough
ground.
"He's gone," said Vogel. "Now yu
fellers better make tracks for town.
He'll have the bulls down here upon
us sure. Here's the coin I promised
'yai for the job." He handed atill to
each of his henchmen. "Jest keep yer
'mouths shut, and yu.'11 be all to the
goad. Blab what yu know and we'll
all be dons'a stretch down below. So
long."
He watched them out of sight
through the trees, then turned into
the house.
"It's ell right, Stell," he called down
the stairs to the cellar. "Come on and
we'll be puttin' the road behind us."
"Oh, Louie, there's -an old man down
here and they've got him all tied up.
He liked to have scared me silly when
I seen him."

"And, LouieI ain't a-goin' to -leave

with us?'?
`Ter the love of God, what for?"
denianded Vogel. "We aint got no
time to fool with him, I tell you. Air
you comin',?"
"Not 'without him," was the firm re-
ply. And Stella promptly sat dawn
upon the topmost step. "If he goes,
and we can make it I can show you
where we can hide for years and never
be caught. „If we wank to we can
'drop him at some town we go through.
But if he stays, I stay. That's final."

subsided to grumbling acquiescence

the cellar and proceeded to untie
Judge Graham's bonds and to remove
his gag: "Come on, el ' timer," he said

even though he was unconscious. Be-
tween them they carried him up the
steps and out of the house and stowed
him away in the back seat of the car.
"Yu get in with him and keep his
head on yer lap and keep him covered
up," he ordered. "They won't be

old geezer will help us in the get-

Thus, with the old man's head pil-

their journey for the safe retreat

Approximately three-fifths of, the
total area, of Manitoba is pre-eam-
Irrian, a formation, which 'in Ontario
gave rise te the development at'Sud-
bury, Cobalt and Porceipine. There
was little proepecting in Men,itoba be-
fore 1912 when the' Rice Lake camp
was opened > up, and the Hudson. Bay
Railway gaye access to the Mineral
areas of the' northern part Of the pro- ,
vince, Successful prospecting has
since that time been Carried on over
a wide area, the most noticeable dis-
tricts of which are The Pas belt 'and
the Rice -Lake area.
Development at The Pas,
, Since 1515, tleveoperien.i.; has • been
rapid in The Pas mineral belt. Twen-
ty million tans ordowt'grade copper ore
have -been- explored by diamond drill- ,
ing at Min Flon Lake -and are /tow be-`

copper is being exported from Schist
-Lake to the smelter at, Trail, B.C., and I
more' than '7,000,000 pountle have al.
ready been realized. Other, copper
prospects are under development, and
the prospected building of a smelter
-at Flan Flo11 will lead, it is expecte('
to the establishment of a large

During 1920, development work in
The- Pas 'Mineral belt was confined
mainly to the westerla and eastern
ends. Th ere wae considerable dia-
mond drilling' at Copper Bake, a good
deal of interest aroused over gold dis-
coveries at Elbow- Lake, an amount of
prospecting done in the Reed Lake
territory, and acitivie exploration work
was carried on in the Flin Mon ore
body by the Longyear Exploration ,‘
Company for the Thompson: .intereste.
Production of the Mandy Mine which
went through the Trail, D.C., smelter,
totalled more -than '$2,000,000 iii CoP- •

ties, As far as capper development ii
concerned in particular there has beau
a tendency to await railway facilities
consequent upon the operation. of the
Flie Moe property before any -very
considerable, expenditure of capital is
made on other capperyropertles. Di-
tensive exploration has satisfactorily
established the fact that there is all

The development of the Northern
Manitbha 'Mineral area in 1920 can he
considered as satisfacto.ry lathe face

production may net have 'reached
startling proportions, results have
been aChi ed which cannot be esti-
