"So you're a trap robber, - eh? An outlaw? And—the Police have got you! Arid -.-God saveius once raere—they, haven't played you a. very square gamer,' . He rose and faced McTaggart. Ile was, more cautious this mornthg, for there was no longer the scent or snowshoe track of Mc:Taggart to guide hini.. He struck the first trap about halfway btween Lae Bain Juid the, shack in which the Vhctor was Wait- ing. It waS sprung, and there was no bait. Trap after trap he visited, and all of them he found sprung, and all without bait. Ile sniird the air, sus- _ meiously, stria4ng vainly to catch the tang of smoke, n whiff of the man- sniell. Along, toward noon he came, to the "neSt"--the twelve treacherous traps waiting for him with gaping jaws half a foot under the blanket of snow. For a NI minute he stood wen outside the danger line, sniffing the air, and listening. He saw the rabbit, and his jaws closed with a hungry click. He moved a step nearer. Still he was euspicious—for some strange and inexplicable reason he sensed danger. Anxiously he sought. for it with his 'nose, his eyes, and his ears. Arid all about him there was a great silence and a great peace. His jaws mi'clted again. He whined- softly. What was it stirring him/. Where was the danger he could neither see nor smell? Slowly he circled about the trap -house; three times he 'circled round it,, each Circle drawing him a little, nearer—until at "last lila feet almost tofiched.the outer :cordon Of traps. Another minute he stood still; his ears 'flattened; in site of:the rich aroma of the rabbit in his nostrils something was drawing him away. In another moment ho wotild have gone, but. there came suddenly—and from directly behind the trap-house—d fierce little rat -like squeak, and the next instant Baree „saw an ermine 'whiter than the snow tearing hungrily . at the fleeh of the rabbit. He forgot hie strange premonition of danger. He, ,growled fiercely, but his plucky little rive' did -not budge from his feast. ' And then he Sprang etraight into the "nest" that Bus/a McTaggart had made for him. • • CHAPTER The next morning Bush MeTaggart , heard the clanking of a chain when he was still a ,good quarter Of a mile front the "nest.' Was it a lynx? - Was it a fisher -cat? Wits it a wolf or a fox? Or was it Baree? He half ran the rest of the distance, andat last he came to where he could see, and his heart leaped lute his throat when he saw he had caught his enemy. Ho approached, holding his rifle ready to fire if by any chance the dog should free himself. • Baree lay on his side, panting from exhaustion and -quivering with pain. A ltharse cry of exultation burst from 1VIeTaggart'e lips sas he drew nearer and looked at the snow: It was pack- ed hard for many feet about the trap - house, where Berea had struggled, and =It was red with blood. The blood had come mostly from Baree's jaws. They were dripping now as he glared at his erierny. The steel jaws hidden under - the snow had done their merciless work well. One of his forefeet wee caught well up toward +he first joint; both hind feet were caught, a fourth trap, bad closed on his flank, and in Mannthe jaws loose he had pulled off a patch of skin half aebig as Mc- Taggart's hand. The snow told the story of his desperate fight all through the night; his bleeding jassis Eiliewed how vainly he had tried to break the imprisoning steel with his teeth. He was panting. • His eyes were blood, shot. But even now, after all hie hours of agony, neither his spirit nor Isle courage "was broken. When, he saw McTaggart he Made a Mesas to his feet, almost instantly crumpling down Into the snow again. gut his forefeet were braced. Tha head and chest rearsined up, and the snarl that • came from his throat WAS tigerish in its ferocity. Here' at last—not more than a dozen, feet 'from him—was the one thirig in all the world that he haMd more than he hated the wolf breed. And again he was helpless,' as lap'was helpless that other time in the rabbit snare. ' ' The.fierceness of his :snarl did not disturb Bush MeTaggart 'now. Ile saw how utterly the other was at his mercy, and with an exultant laugh he leaned his rifie,agairist a tree, pulled af his .inittens, and began loading hiS pipe. Thi was the inuraph he had loeked forward to,. the torture ha had hi -waited for. In ssoul there was a hatred as deadly.as Bevies, the hat- red that a man might have for a man. Be had enSpeated to send a bullet through the dog. But this wae better —to watch hinS dying by inches, to •tauatshiralfeshe-wmald have taunted a human, to walk about him so:that he could hear the clank of the traps and see the fresh blood drip as Baree twisted histtortursd.legs and hody to keep facing him. It was a Splendid vengeance. He was so engnissed in it that he did net hear the approach of ,.anOwshoes behind' him. It was a voice—a man's voice—that turned him round suddenly. - • - The Mao waS stranger, and ho was yminger than MeTaggart by ten At leakt he looked ne more 3.1,141Y.five Or six; evem with'the - "I' had to set a lot of traps like - that," the Factor apologized, his face reddening slightly under the steady gaze of the stranger's blue eyes. Sud- denly his animus rose. "And he's go- ing to die there, inch brinch. I'm g0- lug- to let him starve, and rot -10 the lraps to pay for all he's done." He picked up hissgun, and added, with, his eyes on the stranger. and his finger seedy at the trigger, "Pm Bush Mc- Taggart, the Factor at Lae Bain. Are yitta bound thatwaY, IVI'eleu?" "A few miles. Pni bound up -country —beyond the Barrens." MeTaggart 'felt again the- strange thrill. • e - "Government?'" he asked. The stranger nodded. 'The Police,. perhaps?'" persisted McTaggart. "Whys yes—of course—. the Police," said the stranger, looking into the: Factor's eyes. "And now, M'sieu, as a very great courtesy to the Law I'm going to ask you 'to send a ,bullet through that beast's head before we go on. Will -you? Or shall I?" "It's the law of the line," said Mc- Taggart, "to let a trap robbo rot in the traps. And that beast was a devil. Listen—" • Swiftly, and yet leaving out none of the iinedetail, he told of the weeks and months of strife between himself and Berea; of the maddening futility of all his tricks and schemes and the still mere nuiddeniag clevernesS of the beast lie had at last 'succeeded In trap- ping. "He was a devil—that clever," he cried fiercely when he had finished. "And now—would you shoot him, or let him lie there -and die by inches, as the 'devil ahead?" The stranger was looking at Berea. His face *as turned away front. Me - Taggart. Ho said: "I guess .you are right. Let the devil rot. If, you're heading for Lac Bain,'X'aMu, I'll travel short dis- tance with you now. It will teke a couple of miles to straighten out ,the line of my comptuss," He picked up his gun. 3/4cTaggart led the waY. At the end of...half an hour the stranger stooped and pointed north. "Straight up there—a good five hundred miles," lie said, speaking lightly as though he would reach hotne that night. "PILleave yeti here." Ile Made no offer to shake hands. But in going, he said, "You might repert that John Madis son -has pa,ssed, this way," After that he travelled straight nothward for half St• mile through the deep forest. Then he swung weds ward for two ;Mks, turned at a sharp angle' into the south, and an hour atey he had left McTaggart he'was one* more squatted on his heels almost 'within arms,resteh of Berets. And, he was saying, as. though speaking to a human companion: , 'Prospectors trying a pen of dirt British Columbia fleld. races in e Whatr,,couittedrmant in,,the-,durre14,' ,nataaice'4'ii.4 the sefilsaitalidal "of.. thin, 'Marooned, beleaguered group 'with s. none but themselve..to depend .upon.

In his half -erased Baree, was fighting to under- stand things, and the truth came fin- ally When he felt the 'steel jaws of the trap open, and he drevr 'forth his manned foot. He did then what he had doneto no other creature but Ne- vem. Just once hisshot tongue shot out and licked Carvel's hand. The man laughed.' With his powerful hands he opened the.other.trapS, and Baree was free. ' Far a few moments he'lay without' moving, his eyes, fixed on the man. Carvel had seated himself on the snoviscovered-endsof a birch log and was filling his pipe. Baree watched him light its he noted with new inter- est the first purplish cloud of smoke that left Carvers mouth. The num was not, more than the length of two trap -chains away—and he grinned at garee. • "Screw up your nerve, old chap," he encouraged. "No bones broke. Just a little stiff. 1VIebby we'd better—get out," - He turned his face in the direction, of Lac Bain. The suspicion was in his mind that MeTaggart migbt turn back Perhaps that same suspicion was impressed upon Baree, for when Carvel looked at him again he was on his feet,staggeringa hits he gained Isis equilibrium. In another moment the outlaw had swung the pack -sack from his shoulders and was opening It. He thrust in his hand and drew out a chunk of raw, red meat. "Killed it this merning," he explitin- ed to Baree. "Yearling bull, tender as partridge—and that's as fine a sweetbread as ever came out from under a backbone. Try itl" He tossed' the flesh to Berea There was no equivocation in the manner of its acceptance, Baree was famished —and the meat was flung to him by friend. He buried his teeth in it. His jaws crunched g. New fire leap- ed into his blood as he feasted, but not for an instant --did his reddened eyes leave the other's fete. Carvel re- placed his pack. He rose to his feet, tiselt up his rifle, slipped on his snow- shoes, and fronted the north, "Come on, Boy," he said. "We've got to travel," It "was a matter-of.fact as though the two had been travelling companionS for a long time It was, perhaps, not only an invitation, partly a command. It puzzled Bane. For a full half -minute he stood mo- tionless in his tracks, gazing at Carrel as he strode into the north. A sudden convulsive twitching shot through Deree• he swung hi head toward Lac BainChe looked again at Carvel, and a whine that was scarcely more than a breath came out of his tlaroat.'The raan was' just about to disappear into the thick spruce.

How much of this area have you seen? „The ques- tion is asked by the Natural Resources, Intelligence Service of the Department of the. Interior. Canada has all the attractions that any one could wish to see. There are quiet spots where those wanting a real rest may find their heart's desiee; there are rivers, lakes arid the sea where he who de- lights to hear the -whirr of the reel may tiecure the fittest of game fish; through- out large portions of the tountry the canoe routes beckon to those who would get airay froth the nerve strain- ing conditions of present day civiliza- tion, and camping sites await those aiho would live in the open. Many thousands of miles of the best of highways offer to, the ;motorist op- portunity to tour Canada as never be - Loh. Untold millions of money have been poured out that road travel shall ,been comfortable and pleasurable; and over these good roads each year thous- ands of visitors vievr the country and recognize its beauties and appreciate its natm•al resources. When outsiders can see so many things to interest them in Canada, why should Cztnadians not pay More attention to their own c,ountry's charms and see and admire them before going out side to do their motoring and spend their money.
