Whole among the 'crowd that made up the - geld seekers. At Liarsville, 'a camp in the hills, Speed was made trail boss in I+allon's place, because Speed insisted on 'closing the trail till it. could be repaired. When a detach- ment of the Canadian Northwest Mounted Police came riding down the pass arid mended the bridge for Speed, there was a truce between him and Fallon and- the trail was reop- ened.' Garnet went back to civiliza- tion for the winter leaving his pon- ies onies and equipment with Speed and Maitland. But the horses disappear- ed just after the transfer: After Speed had killed a man in self-defence --a man who had run a crooked shell game at Liarsville—he and Maitland: got away on the trail—Mese helped find their horses—and' decided - to build a cabin for the winter near Bennet, a camp policed by the llfoun- ties. Drew, head of the Mounties, said there was a estrange legend a- bout a ghostly Siwash that left tracks in the snow—his' new man Cathcart was specially interested in it. One night the two partners were surprised to have a half- starv-ed dog join them while they were eating steaks from a deer Speed had just shot. A little later a man came out of the storm to then—the ghost- ly apparition of the Mounties' leg- end, they decided—and took half their deer. While Speed had gone to Skagway with mail for the Moun- ties, Maitland found a half -frozen figure in the storm, and discovered it to bo Pete, who turned out to be a girl disguised as a man. Speed, when he got back to Skagway, was arrested on a charge of murder of the shell -game man and put in- jail: When Prenchy, now a deputy, brought his supper to him, he made a break for freedom and escaped. * X41 els NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Sensing a death fight, the crowd pressed in.

The crowd grunt- ed and turned -rigid as Maitland sud- denly sagged, falling backward with Fallon's weight clamping his. neck to the floor, and the man's great fist sledging his face and head. The boy's destruction looked certain for one desperate minute. ' H,is hands caught his assailant in a gripping hold at the waist and with a lift and a heave of one knee he twisted free. ,Streaming blood, Maitland reeled was burning close. "Up the 'river canyon, Pete," he said "and don't pull in till I hail ye." A quirt bit the bronco's flank; its flying start matched the mare's leap as Pete leaned 'close to the black neck, holding the pinto's head and mountain step, Maitland looked down riding both horses as one.

He shivered to think of the adds that might fav- or a desperate man at bay in this stronghold. the gulch broke away, Rusty stepped' to a ledge hardly wider than a sled track, and went around the "cliff fate. They came out on a widening step of the mountain. A rough log, cabin was perched' on this ,sloping rocky platform. From the . brink of the to his feet. He swung with a mortal ed through the chequered street lights and vanished in a drumming of hooves. Speed checked his own rearing mount, -wheeled it sidelong .on its hind legs, to block any threat of pur- suit. Then, wits a measured glance. at the crowd, he tossed the splutter- ing explosive down the centre of the street into trampled snow. Almost as it struck, the camp. was rocked by a thundering detonation. the bronco gave a bound like a stag's and tore after its team mate, stung to a soaring gallop by the rocketing blasts of Speed's guns, on either side. Rusty was shifting nervously. His nose, searching the inshore shadows, had a more constant direction. It kept pointing down stream. Rusty was watching and, scenting along the bank for some remembered place which old habit had prjnted deep in his dog memory. "By the Great Dog Start" Mait- land exclaimed. "The dog's your rnal> " "It's what IM bankin' on," Speed said. "Dogs get attaehed to places. The pull of a hangout they're used to lasts longer than their fear of a man they don't tike. Specially Siwash dogs. We could maybe have landed anywhere' around the Stewart and followed Rusty to Dalton's camp by his . own route." Pete had fallen asleep with . her head on the meal sack. She had seem- ed to feel a peculiar uneasiness about the outcome of their journey, which deepened and darkened. Maitland's sense of Dalton's .mystery. The mouth' of the creek: which the dog led them to choose was so screen- ed with brush that in the dark they might easily have passed it unnotic- ed. Speed hitched a line the prow of the boat to the malamute and al- lowed it to run along the shore. De- lighted to be afoot again, Rusty started upstream, drawing the boat with him. Alt they had to do was 050 an oar occasionally to clear a rock or shoal The dog had conte to a bend in the creek.

"Doggone," n Speed muttered, and frowned at the blasted pine which Rusty seemed to have regarded with a little more intention than the stone.

From the, threshold he nodded to the others. - Not only was the interior unoccu- pied, but it evidently had not been in recent use, The walls were cumber- ed with trophies and tools; some of rather crude makes; traps, dog har- nesses, snowshoes and canoe paddles. Opening the stove, Speed found wood laid in it, ready for lighting. He touohed itwith a match. "Ain't got back from up 'the river yet," he said. Ills voice had a delib- erate casual tone, as if he were try- ing to make light of a!bad sign. "Any- how, let's eat." Pete removed a gun stook and a half -mended snowshoe from the tab- le, and lifted the cover to shake it when he paused to look more closely at the table top.

Returning to headquarters at :Ot- tawa after a four weeks' -trip to the Prairie Provinces and British Colum- bia, olumbia, Ernest Bushnell, Canadian Radio Commission program director for On- tario and the Wiest, tells of the real thrill he experienced when, accompan- ied by Horace .Stovin, western region- al program director, he -listened to the first rehearsal of the May 6 Jubi- lee broadcast. "It was nine o'clock in the Edmon- ton `studios," relates Mr. Bushnell. "You could hear a pin drop. The network from collet to coast was connected and it was then that Gor- don Olive, L WI. Jackson, and George A. Taggart, gave the last minute in- structions to operators at the various originating paints, ' "When everything was in readiness, the actual task ofsynchronizing the bands in the nine provinces and weld- ing together the different features, began. Details of haw the bands were to come in were explained by 11fr. Taggart, Came the cue 'All night Halifax'—a moment of breath- less suspense—and we heard the first few bars of 'Oh Canada.' Thus it went right across Canada our nation- al anthem, played by nine bands but sounding like one. It could be done, had been done, and will be done a- gain. It was then that even I, toughened to this game as I am, got the thrill of my life." In reference to the radio situation "That strange figger you seen, Pete, didn't maybe give you a whisper about Dalton% reasons for keepin' his trail se dark?" Pete was visibly disturbed by the question. She parted her 'figs as if to answer; then changed her mind and shook her head. They did not speak for a while, but sat pondering in the gloom over em- pty plates. Rolling and lighting a cigarette, Speed said: "Any'way, its' a quiet place to wait in. If we wait long enough, somethin' or other is pretty liable to show." The night passed uneventfully. During the next day, they found a distraction in exploring the single approach to the cabin, and examin- ing the traps and tools that lay in open view. (Continued Next Week) wooden •surface was discolored, ta- tooed and smeared with a maze of marks and drawings that almost hid the grain, The drawing had been made with lead, ink, spilled coffee, whilsky, lantpsoot-aljnost anything, apparently. The drawings were similar in sub- ject but greatly varied in detail. They seemed to represent a gulch with a stream running through it, and with the ruins of an Indian settle- ment at one end, -denoted by the scrawled words, "Siwash igloos," or "Siwash ruin,' A figure likea pick was posed experimentally at differ- ent points in the gulches. "These all seem to be pictures . of the same gulch," Speed said. "The gulch where he found the gold . .?'" He studied the table until burning pans ealied him back to the stove. When he served the rashers and hot bread, they 'sat down to supper with Riity confused pictures of Dalton's gold prospect staring up at them from the table top. "Must have been almighty puzzled same time about where that gulch was," said Speed' - "I think he found it once, and then couldn't track it," Pete said vaguely. Maitland noticed the veiled quer- tion in Speed,s look at her. "Did Bill tell you that?" he asked. "No." Pete'e answer seemed reluc- tant. "Maybe the igloos are a symbol of something else," Maitland ventured. "Then 'why are they drawed so clear," Speed said doubtfully. .He gave the thought a more mystical turn. "You'd think some jinx was ridin' Dalton: His hidin' from ever'. one because of;the gold, and the gold hidin' from him," • Knowing the gambler's vein of sup- erstition, Maitland was not altogeth- er astonished to hear him ask her, ERNF)ST BU;SHNELL Radio Commission Program Director for Ontario and The West. in Western Canada Mr. ..
