The two miners who are looking for Mining prospects, become much in- terested hi some' specimens of ore shown them by Garth. They are all rather haughty, especially the girl,, and treat Garth like. a servant, but he shows his independence and• does- n't allow himself to be ordered about. They decide to take Garth in their aeroplane to inspect his mine and if it turns out to be worth working to take a lease sGor a year and give him sixty percent. of the output. 'Garth leads them to his claim and Huxby professes to think that he might have salted it. After some digging, which is done by Husby and some consultation by Huxby end Ramill, Garth feels that they are convinced of the poten- tial wealth .of the mine, The party proposes to go back to the flying ma- chine for lunch, Huxby saying he will come back and do some more digging. They suggest that probably Garth does not wish to come back with them and he `says he will take a trip up the mountain side while they are gone. But Garth is suspicious of the two.men, so as soon as he gets out of Charges Moderate and Satisfaction, sight he makes for the flying ma - Guaranteed. chine, .takes a part from the engine and disappears again. The party comes up to the machine in frantic haste, the elderly millionaire being almost exhausted by the speed at which they have hurried hint along. Just as they were about to take off Garth walks out of the brush and wants to know what is the matter and Huxby covers him with his pistol and tells him to place his gun on the wing. Itis evident that they intend to fly back to the Mackenzie and leave him. Garth places his gun ns ordered, then unties and rope holding the plane and stands holding it while Huxby tries to start, the engine, which would not go. He then tells them that he has the part of the engine in his pocket but will: not allow thein to come near h i m until all a r e out, He then lets the plane go, fling- ing the line out into the water and it drifts down stream tleam t � ovoids a falls. When they see the plane Is doomed and realize that they are in his pow- er Mr. Ramill says they will do just as he says if he will lead them back to the Mackenzie. Garth shoots a moose and prepares food for the company, which they are hungry enough to enjoy. Miss Ra- mill, although still very disdainful of Garth, is brought to the extremity of slicing off a piece of moose liver and cooking it over a fire for her. supper.

In a little over three decades the .deaths front tuberculosis in Ontario have boon reduced from about 100 for •each 100,000•. living persons to 37 at the present time. In feet, your chances •and mine of dying of tuberculosis are less than one-third of what they wore al -tare turn of the present century. More -than 4,400 mon, women and children -will celebrate Christmas with • you and '. are this year who would have died of 'tuberculosis In 1.936 if this disease were .killing to -day' at the same rate as in 1900, when the work of the National Sanitarium Association was just nicely .wetting under way. But' in spite of an that has been done and in spite of the continued decline in deaths from tuberculosis, it is sad to note that .1,303 people died of.. this •disease in Ontario last year. It is doubly •sad'to learn' too that there are about x6,500 active cases of tuberculosis in this Province right now. And what is more to the paint, more than half ef'the people who died of tuberculosis last year. and:of.those who are now (Ware young people in the prime, productive -,ages of life, between fifteen and forty -live.

Even after iniuch soa (- Mg in a cold spring and' tight ban- daging by Garth, the sprain held t re millionaire down to a slow hobble. An aspen staff enabled him to travel 'slowly until the noon meal. After that the pain' overcame hiui. He re- fused to move. Garth looked doubtfully at the none too large supply of food that was left. All the caribou meat and fat and more than half the smoked moose imeat had been eaten. Ris pack now weighed little more than the platinum alloy in Huxby's wolf- skin knapsack. He had allowed everyone to eat without stint, That had been neces- sary in order to, keep tip the strength 'of the cheehaheos. Otherwise they never could have kept going for day after day through brush and spruce scrub, over rocky ridge slopes and across bogs. But, as he had foretold, the country was barren of game. There was none, too much meat left in his pack. • "If you can't carry on, Mr. Ra- mill, you'll have to stay here and keep bathing your ankle in this rill," he said. "We're too short of food, though, to lose any time. The stand or birch at the stream is so small that I'll need a full three days to, build our canoe. The three of you follow down this brook as soon as you can." When he picked un a few pieces of meat and the rifle, Huxby spoke: "I should have the gun to protect Miss Ramill." "There's nothing here to attack you," Garth replied. "Just possibly, I may find game at the stream." • "Could another pair of hands be helpful in making the canoe?" Lilith asked. "Well—yes." The girl looked at Huxby. He did not speak or move. She stood up. "Dad you'll be all right with Vivian. l ani going to help Alan." Her father shook his head.- "You should stay here with nue. Let Viv- ian go,,, Huxby rose, frowning. He looked at Garth with cold rancor. "I see no need for anyone to go. I certainly cannot permit my fiancee to accom- pany you." "She. might have helped. You'd be only a hindrance," Garth replied. He swung away at a rapid pace. But behind him he heard the girl speak sharply: "Don't be silly, Viv !an. Get out of my way." After that came a quick patter of moccasins. Garth kept on for some distance as if he did not hear the sound.. Then he halted behind an alder thicket to face the girl. She was so close behind that she almost ran into him. 'He smiled into her eager eyes. "This is a happy surprise, Lilith" Her eyelids sank, and her cheeks crimsoned under their coat of pitch - and -grease mosquito dope. "You needn't fancy I'm running: after you It's—it's only. because T want to get out of this beastly North country of yours—and be rid of you, too-" V"So that's it, Well, you're a' good hater, but you're a real sport. You're game. Tag along, if you wish." He set off again at a pace twice as fast as the best her father had been able to travel. An occasional I snap of a twig behind John told that the girl was still following. Yet he did not once slacken his gait or look back until, three hours later, the brook began to meander •through a stretch of muskeg. At the edge of the swamp he stop- ped beside a game trail. Lilith cane Iup beside him, breathing deeply from the long and rapid walls. He pointed to the big water -filled hoof prints in the mud. "We may be in luck. Moose passed here yesterday—the water is clear in the tracks. They may not have gone too far. Stay here, or be quiet' Ari untossed leaf showed that the wind *was in his favor. He started along the trail. The tracks were still a day old when they turned out into the muskeg towards a lily pool. A mother swan and her brood of 'cyg- nets were swimming around the lily pads. Garth skirted on along the border of the swamp to where a bend of the stream twisted in close to dry ground. Here was the grove of 'birch of which he had spoken. He pointed to the fringe of willows below the birch. "Those bitten twigs — still white. They've been eaten offless than an hour ago. Stay. here." After another test of the wind, he went ahead alone, silent hs• a lynx. Luck was with hiin. As he rounded the bend he saw the immense antlers of an old bull moose rise above the willows on.the bank. Before the start- led beast could plunge into the water Garth dropped him with a bullet through the brain. At the crash of the shot, • three moose cows with calves broke cover beyond the bull. The distance was considerable and brush obscured. Garth's aim. Ile had to shoot four times tobring down one cow and her calf. But that was enod'gh. ' NOW GO ON WITH ;THE STORY Before sunrise, Garth was again awake. He filled the little pot with ice and set it in the edge of the re- built fire, then began cooking cari- bou' meat. The others wakened al- most too stiff to move. But all man- aged another big meal of the meat. To top it off, Garth had Lilith boil a little tea in the water from the melt- ed ice. After. the hot drink,' even Mr. Ra - mill managed to hobble down the now fairly easy slope. The exercise grad- ually warmed and relaxed stiffened muscles. The end of a long day's hike at last brought the party down the miles of tundra slopes to the edge of titn- berline. Here Garth built a brush shelter and allowed his exhausted companions to rest for a whole day. They basked beside the big camp fixe and gorged like Indians on roast cari- bou neat and fat. This lay -over was the longest rest the party was .to know for a week. For all seven days theytrailed through a dense forest of spruce. Rarely the monotonous gloom of the dark evergreens opened to the sky on the ,bare rocks of a ridge erest,.or in the glade of a narrow valley bottom that was always filled withkneedeep bog. • There was no trail -none at least that the city dwellers could detect. Time and again Huxby declared that Garth was lost no less utterly than the rest of them; that he was wan- dering at random. He scoffed when Garth pointed toga broken - twig at one place, and to the faint trace of a moccasin print on a soft bank, To silence the caviler, Garth be- gan foretelling small landmarks be- fore theycame into view.at This last forced the engineer to realize that their guide was following his former trail through the forest maze as surely as if it were a beaten path. The most positive proofs of all were the mounds of dirt -covered ashes. where Garth had smothered his camp fires going to the lost valley and re- turning from it to the Mackenzie. He predicted they would reach ca- noe water on the seventh day. But during that morning Mr. Ramill turn- His shout brought Lilith on the run. She looked delightedly at the bull. "Oh, no chance now- of starv- "That's not all," he said "I can build a hide canoe in two days; a bet - Ler one than can be made from those small birches." CHAPTER XIII Hell In The Muskegs When, a day later, Mr. Ramill came limping after Huxby to the smoke -marked camp, Lilith was still hanging moose meat on alder poles over the smudge -five. Iluxby chopped his :Cull -stuffed cnapsack and wiped his sweaty Sore- head with the back of his hand, • "Pahl To think I've. 'lugged all that old meat, and he's killed again. Why didn't he come back and 5611, The girl gave him an odd glance, `We've' been too busy, old clear. Where's the blanket?" "I couldn't pack everything. If I'd known, I could have left this con- founded smoked moose and brought the blanket instead." "Why not have left your load of petal? Didn't you consider that Dad. and I will get far more than fifteen. thousand dollars' worth of comfort out of that blanket?" His lips tightened. "Sorry, dar- ling. The thought of a common dirty blanket as against all the platinum I did not even think • of it. Now of course I realize, But it's too late," "Yes," she agreed, "it's too Tate.— Dad, you were a real sport not to. wait for Alan to come back and car- ry you." The millionaire had slumped down to rub his swollen ankle. He looked up at Huxby, with a bantering smile. 'We couldn't permit our girl to elope with a woods vagabond, could we, Vivian?" The engineer did not sniffle. His face went blank. "Where is that roughneck, .Lilith?" "Down in the willows, working hard for us. Won't you be glad when we're rid of him!" "Won't yon?" "Well, I'm not so sure as I was. At present he is far more agreeable com- VADDy ' URNS I'.'IQO C;OKE`\ ASHES) PERHAPS the artist has exaggerated a little—but his point is clear and true. There is far, far less ash with coke than with other hard fuels. This simple fact means that you save not only money by using Hamco Coke but much back -breaking labour in shifting ashes. (Not to mention the fact that coke is much lighter on the shovel.) And your wife saves on her house-cleaning tasks because coke is free from dust, soot and grime. Add to these advantages, the greatest blessing of all —quicker heat in the morning and a steady, easy -to -control warmth all day—and your choice should be obvious. Try Hamco Coke next time. Your dealer; is waiting to serve you! HAMILTON BY-PRODUCT COKE OVENS, LIMITED, HAMILTON,. CANADA X12-36 COKE'S LOWER PRICE IS 13UDT ONE OF ITS ASSETS Coke first came into promi- nence in Ontario when 'supplies of other hard fuels ran short. Some people therefore who have never used coke look upon it as a "substitute" for other hard fuels. This is far from the fact. The discovery of coke, centuries ago, was a great step forward in fuel development. Coke ovens were built, last century, right at the mines so that coal could be transformed into coke to satisfy the demand. Gradually, householders learned of the unique properties of coke in domestic furnaces. Irrespective of price they found it heated their homes more thor- oughly with less trouble, fewer ashes and no soot or smoke. To these advantages is added the lower cost.

Try to keep in mind how matters will stand as soon as we get out of this damnable mess. Reniem- ber.that Vivian is my 'partner in the profits of all our Northwest Terri- tory deals. Garth is responsible for our being marooned in this woods hell. He set the plane adrift to go to smash over those falls. For a long moment Lilith Ramill stood' silent. She looked down at her grimy tattered . sports suit, in her bloodsmeared hands and broken fin- ger nails. The dimmed glitter of the diamond in her engagement ring fail- ed to hold her gaze. It passed on down to her foxskin leggings and moosehide moccasins. "Squaw," she murmured. "Dirty squaw! He certainly has put us A. D. McCARTNEY through the mill And more to come!
