•
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
She knew now .why, even from the
first hour, the grim adventure on this
shore had been thrillihg to her. She
knew why she had befriended Pete
against Ivan, why his companionship
had been so dear and his protection so
comforting; and she underetoed -why
her whole world had passed into dark -
nese when she -had seen him fall. The
first carinou hunt, on her ant day in
the hills, had given her what had
hitherto been au almost -forgotten
joye and every day since that joy had
increased. Even from the first hour
he had called to her, and she had
answered. Evidently this .love—and
it could be nothing else but love—had
been' ptedestined, a thing orthe in-
stincts that ell .the' barriers of caste
and circumstances could not restrain.
, But it must never, never be. Only
tragedy lay that way, and she had
had enough of tragedy. She looked
at the matter calody; and she knew
her only possible course,
The barrier between her and the
,guide wee wholly impaosable; and it

He was an exile in the North; she
was of cities. • He "wag ed, the stone
and the wihtly shore, the desolation
aid the solitude; and she, was of
warmth and laughter and beauty. He
was of another plane and caste, and
never the two could meet. Besides,
she had gone too far with Ivan to
turn away foam him. She had given
him her promise.
She knew her course. In a few
more days she and the man who loved
her would launch their boat and roW
away; and Pete would be left on the
desolate shore. They would never

of the memories of Peter had poled

remembrance; and the drama in the
wildernees would be dinuned by the
mists of the past. She would take up
her old gayieties, and she would live
for Ivan. Ia time the poignant pairi
would pine away, and she would find
the normal contentment of marriage.
As soon ses the Ruesian interned
she would remove fel danger by put-
ting, •herself forever out of Pete's
reach. Thus she would defeat her wil-
ful heart, cheat the enigmatic destiny
that had jested with her so long, and
perhaps find a humble ehare of human
happiness.

V,crutiny proved it to be Ivan, return-
ing from his quest. In half an hour
be would be at camp and Dorothy in
his arms. '
Pete, understood perfectly :the full
signifience of this return. It marked,
indeed, the turning point in his own
great adventure; bis personal watch
of the girl would be over, and a few
hours-theraft,er she would sail away.
The one joy that was' left him was
to carry the gooa news to Dorothy
and to watch the dear, remembered
kindling 'of her luminous eyes.. He
made his way quietly to' her tent.
"Mr. Ishmin is returning," he told
her simply, still in. the ehiracter of
Pete the guide. "He's in plain sight
already." '
The erns lips parted, but her nage
dta not et once fleet' with pleasure.
Yet her expression showed instent, use -
mistakable relief. it was all that was
needed to ,convince,Pete• that the girl
had found her happiness; and he was
persbaded that her tenderness yester-
day, after she had brought him home,
was merely an instinctive reaction—
an eclio• of her almost -forgotten love
for Peter•Newliall.—of which her con-
scious seln made no interpretation.
The girl looked breathlessly into
Pete's haggard face. Fortunately he
did not guess the fell truth: that her
genuine relief was not at having her
"Was the trip across a success?"
she asketa
lover come again, but only because it
permitted her to escape from her own
doubts and fears.
She left the camp and trudged up
the len to meet Ivan. He waved to
her, n motion brimming with vitality
and spirit; and. ie was gracef el as
a caribou as he hastened to join her,
Evidently the hard trip had left hint
onscathecl. He was slightly. more
brown, perhaps, not quite so well
groomed if for no other reason than
he had left his shaving bit in camp,
'but -there was no visible. trace of
fatigue in his dark, handsome face;
no change' in his easy, graceful car-
riage.
He held the girl close, and she felt
the steel of his mtiscles. There was a
world of reassurance here, When she
returned to her native city, Ivao at
her side, when all the witchery of this
sevgae land had paled into dreams,
Che had every chance to find a full
share of happirieSs in these strong
arms.
"Wes the trip a success " she asked,
radiant from his kiss.
"Do you. think I'd eome back if it
weren't I had the beat kind of luck.
I didn't' oven get clear to the Pacific
shore. A few Miles this Side I reit
tete o quays, laying out a trap line.;
I got her to go back to her cabin on '
the coast and get a load of. supplies
for us, and bring it over rut fast as
she can--herd'bread and canned goody
and 'allege we'can on the trip.
She May got here tonight—she's cer-
tain to make it in by tomorrow morn-
ing.. Then we 'can take the dory'and
start oat--lottek to Gosne country."'
"Yon started baek es soon ns you'd
Made atrangements with her?"
"Yee. There was no use to go on.
She could bring-gill:he grub she could
spare without my help. Besides --I
couldn't bear to be away from you any
longer."
They 'Walked arin-in-arm down to
the camp, and Pavlof glowed at his
aster's greeting. "You've been com-
fortable?" he asked the girl.
"Perfectly. • Pete hes taken the best
possible care of me.

cornething fancy to his cheque' when
-we pay him dr." He followed Dor-
othy into her tent, and alter she'had
told him of Pete'adeident, he caught
her yielding' hands. ..• "'Dear; I've coma

The meeting uixtuannouttly approved
of the measure in question. How im-
portant and how vital to -Canadians
are the interests at stake is diaelosed
in the report submitted to the annual
meetiag of the Company.
Inmoving, the adoption of the re-
port, President Macaulay said:—
"You gentlemen have become so ac-
customed to our presenting, every
yent a Statement surpassing all pre-
TIMIS TOCOVIS that you come prepared
to hear another report on. that des-
cription, 1 am quite sure, however,
that not one of you, .in his most Op-
timietic mood, expected' a. report BO
favourable as that which you now
have. Our record 'tor 1927 is indeed
a remarkable. one. Let me touch on
the main' features:— ' •
Remarkable. GroWth, Strength .and
PrOnta.
"The new assurances completed:
amounted to $328,000,000, an increase
of over $02,500,000. '
"The amount in fence at the close
of the year had risen to e1,487,000,000,
and at the present moment is well
over $1,500,000,000.
"The Ineome exceeded $102,000,000,
an Increase over the ,previous year of
$23,800,000. To me, this ie very im-
pressive. Not billy hag- this item
passed the one hundred million mark,
but the therease aloes la equal to
what was our total income but eight
yam% ago, 'which had been accurau-
lated by fertyeene years of strenuous
effort. A. life company with a total
incomeollo greater than our increase
would be an.important corporation,
"The assets baVe increased by $66,-
000,000, and now exceed $400,000,000.
'But the most Wonderful of all
these svondertul figures is, the amount
earned AS, Profit -7438,000,000;• HoW.,.
great this, figure Is maybe judgea
from this tact thatahe .earnings of the
previous Year, in which wo so re-
Joiced, Were S.20,600,000. It would be
hardly reasonable to assume that our
earnings of future years will continue
on such a tremendous. scale, and we
have therefore set aside a large part
of this sum to provide tor future con-
tingencies.
A Great Surplus and Contingency _
!)Fund.
"Our seeurities have been valued on
la very conservative basis, but from
even these moderate values we have
set aside another $5,000,00 to provide
for market fluctuations, making the
total deduction under thie heading
310,000,000. . e .
"We. have also eet aside the follow-
ing amouttsen.•
"A further $1,500,000 for unforeeeen
cohtingenelea, ralaing that fund to
312,500,000; 3500,000 to provide fon
poseible greater longevity 'of annuit-
ants, raising that item to $2,000,000;
aad e1,800,000 to increane our re-
seroes on tropleal business; besides
writing off another 31,000,000 ..on out.'

"After providing for all those
amounts, we heve added 311,000,000
to our undivided surplus, raising that
sum from 334,000,090 to 446,000,000.
' Scale of' Profits ecreased for .

"The anhouheementt, however, that
will be received with the greatest en-
thuteasm is that tot the eighth, eon-
secutive year we have increased the
scale of profit payments to our policy-
holders. The basis Of diatribation.
