PART 11,
Leblanc fand Mine. Larocque both
theruglit that he had gone inte the
mountains to remain until Saturday,
the day of the signing of the contract.
No one knew his last-merrtent decision
to make a short preliminary trip.
Yesterday had been MondaY, and it
would be the fallowing Monday before
his wife even woufel worry, knovsring
as she did the unexpected delays that
a man in the forest often meets.
He had, then, a half pail of water
and riot a morsel of food for a week.
Even in the full power of his usual
strength it would have been hard to
extht for a week on, such ratione.
Of cours'e, given strength, he woul'd
have charged out of the cabin at an
opportune moment, as he had planned
the night before, and it would have
been steange if ,Albert Dinelle's finger
upon the trigger had not been par-
\ &tried with. fear. The cunning devil
must know that the prisoner was
rannfled-how elbe account for hie
temerity in attemp•ting the window?

He had dozed once, and -wee half

For the first time in his life Gedeon

It was on'the third day, Wednesday,

would ba no worse to eat one's bro-
ther, thought Gedeon,
That night the water -pail was
empty. By morning the fever of La-
rooque'a wound had increased and he
found difficulty itt getting up. ,He
looked at the small lamenting store
of kindling arid firewood ---that Stare
which he had cherished, enduring cold,
despite his retolution not to rave his
own life With that of the dog.
In the depths of his mind the
thought had lurked, and it had held
back his hand from making use of the
wood for heat. There rernaine.d enough
to cook with -a bed af eoals and a
grilled bit of meat. He shuddered
and closed his eyeo to ehut 'out the
sight of Boutle.
Lifel' HeW he wanted inore of It!
The final -great rebellion againat death
was raging Within Man, and he was
shaken as, with a, shill.
He drew his bunting-lcialle and con-
templated it. What, after all, was a
deg? The world veas fell iif theme He
would not have hesitated ,te shoot a
dog that attacked him or one that
Wiled his thickens. .
A- dog waa not a man. Why, then,
should he hesitate to xnake Boyle rein
der him a last sereke-when that ser-
Yiee meant the difference between life
and death? '
The oog had left him and laiu down
near the .door. Larocque Mak pain-
fully to hit hands and kneee„ with the
knife between ins teeth: -Another day
and he wouid he too weak to save his
life by ed.) method -even now- it
would take his last Ounce of strength
to do what he had to do. Arel after
the thing was done theta would be a
tire to make. -,,, •
Ile dragged hirnealf toward l3oule,
Raving his eyes to look into those of
the dog., They did not waver-La-
rocque imagined that the animal knew
his purpose,. It would have been easy
for Houle to kill him.
He reached out a hand arid grasped
the dog by the scruff of the neck,
ron•ing him unresisting on to his aide.
Gedeon called upon hie resolution and
poised the knife. Bonk looked up
once, and dozed hit eyes.
With a cry that Wee half a sob, Ge-
deon Larocque flung his knife acres%
the room. Weakness posseesed him in
every nerve and -muscle and he sank
down with his face buriedin the great
neck of the dog. He knew that ea-
eonselousness -was ho'vering close to
a.nd yet he was at peace.
Better to die thus and eow than to
do the thing...which he had lifted his
hand to do. So he lay, contiant with
thiegs as they Were, while mists swept
before his eyes and noises that had no
existence in face bounded in hie' ears.
.After what seemed a long time,
Boole moved, gently, and Laeocque's
head ley upon the bare floor. He felt
the rasp of a tongue against his cheek.
Tate the far regions where his soul
had retired came sounds that were
real. They drew him back to con-
sciousness and he turned hit head (0 -
war, the source. Hazily he saw the
door of the cabin shivering ender the
impatt of blows. .
The bar deuced le its sockets. Hope
coursed in the vans of Gedeon, and
he drew himself to an elbow, believing
that a rescue had come. Then a socket
beace and the bar leaped half -way
across the room. The door swung
inward
Albert Dieene staid upon the
threshold, poised liko a cat for flight
or attaele The rifle that he held
swung sloivly until it pointed at the
body of Laroeque, •
Gedeon looked tithing the barrel and
into the triumph -mit eyes of his, enemy.
So 'the coward, encouraged by long
silence, had itt last mustered courage
to attack like a man.
Larecque knew that death was a
matter of Seconds away, and yet he
did not regret his rejection of the one
means which would have given hien
ateength to meet this, knife in hand.
While Larocque looked and waited,
the face of Dittelle changed,, In one
on those little fragments of time
which the semen catinot measure he

then sank out of sight behind) the puff
of smoke with Boule's weight upon his
chest:
The thud end heave of straining bo-
dies came to Laramie. He heard the
rare battle snarm of Bottle, and once,
juet before they ended, a cry 'that
Meld leave come otile from a , human
throat. ,
He tried to drag himself to the doer,
fei raise his voice to a shout, mid failed
in both. • Through the quiet moments
that followed the end of the battle
he struggled to gather again hte
forces.
Then Bane hacked into the- cabin',
dragging after him the ,pack of Die -
elle as he had been taught to fetch the
peek of his master. His white teeth
worried the canvas until it ripped
and the coetents spilled upon the
floor -bread and old pork; it flask and
a tin. of molasses.
But before Gideon Laramie laid
hands upon the life-giving food 'he
flung his -arms-about the neck of his
dog arid wept unashamed -not with
joy that he had escaped death, but
with' thanksgiving that he hen not
paid the prim hit life had seemed to
demand.
