CHAPTER XXX.—(Cont'd.)
Arrived at his •journey's end, find -
ins' himself timid the happiest condi-
tions and the most exquisite sur-
roundings, Garvock naturally found it
difficult to realize the Klondyke in
winter. To him it was now a region
of enchantment and of dream; and
whether or not he was to be success-
ful in his search, he must for the
remainder of his life be glad that he
had penetrated so far into the heart
of Alaska,
On tate morning after his arrival he
sallied forth from his comfortable
hotel to find the Canadian Bank of
Commerce, which was only a stone's -
throw off. His inquiry for the. man-
ager was courteously met, and when
he was ushered into the private room,
he was politely received by a thin,
clean-shaven man whose appearance
suggested that of a lawyer in prac-
tice rather than a Klondyke banker.
-J
"The Klondyke?" repeated Garvocc
questioningly.
The banker nodded.
"They're near one of the mining
camps where the biggest run was on
in 'ninety-eight, Yes—it's practically
played out now. But there are still
a few cranks mouching about the old
dredgers, and making raids on the
creeks. You don't know Affery, I
suppose?"
Garvock replied that he had never
seen him.
"He was here in 'ninety-eight, and
he knows more about that queer page.
in Alaskan history than any living
man, I do believe; He made a hit
himself; but what he's cranky on is
a fortune he imagines was hidden by
a pal of his called Arizona Red, who
was one of the biggest boosters on the
trail. According to all accounts he
was a holy terror. He staked one of
the first claims on the Klondyke, and
it is a known fact that be was luckier
than most of there; but nobody ever
knew what he did with the nuggets.
He used to come into Dawson and
have a blow-out once in a blue moon,
but he never exceeded a certain limit.
Nobody ever cleaned out Arizona. Af-
Eery and he were thick pals, and he's
never been the same man since Ari
zone's death. He nursed him through
his last illness in the shack they
shared together on Goldwater Creek.
And he's there now with Rankine.
They've been there since Rankine
"Morning! And what can I do for
you, sir?" he inquired, with an un-
doubted American roll on the "r."
"My name's Garvock. You don't
know nye, and it would be hopeless to
explain," said Peter quietly. "I've
made a long journey. from Scotland
to inquire whether you know the
whereabouts of a malt named Affery
—I don't know his Christian name,
but I think l've got the surname
right?"
He added that because he saw the
gleam of quick intelligence on the
banker's
face.
"You have, sir. Mr. Affery is a
client of ours, and I do happen to'
know where he is at this very min -1
ute."
"Oh!" said Garvock with a little
gasp of relief. "Can you put me on,
to him then? Is he anywhere in this
district?"
The banker nodded, and made his
mouth into a long, queer line which(
seemed to indicate that he knew much;
more than he would put into words,1
even under severe pressure.
"What do you want him for?—if
it's a fair question," he asked as he
pushed a chair towards Garvock, at
the same time studying him keenly.'
"Scotland, did you say? Affery's Irish
—at least three parts Irish, He lras
bought a place in his father -country
in Donegal."
"Well, as a matter of fact, I don't
know Mr. Affery, and my only inter-'
est in him is on account of a thirdI
party—a relative of my own, who was
et ono time in his company, and who,
it is surmised, came out to Alaska
with him."
'I see. Name of Rankine perhaps?"1
The blood rushed, full and hot, to
Garvock's face. He knew now that
though he. was in close touch, he had
;hardly expected this.
"That's the name! He's my cousin.
l'rn here really on behalf of his wife;
and his other near relatives. He's!
been lost to them for over two years."
The banker nodded understand-
ingly.
I see. Weil—he's been here in the
Yukon with Affery for the last six
months—let me see—yes, longer. He
came in October, just before the navi-
gation was closed. I believe he came
down the Yukon on the last boat of
the season."
"And isn't he here now?" asked
Garvock feverishly.
"Not in the city. But he's get -at -
able. He's no further off than on one
of the creeks in the Iilondylce."
on.
"Doing what?"
The banker shrugged his shoulders.
"Prospecting in the good old-fash-
ioned way, I'm told. Washing out the
dust m their panmkms on the
creek when it happens to be there;
and in their odd minutes hunting for
Arizona's pile. Affery thinks he has
a boost on it, and will find it before
he dies."
"But you don't think that?" said
Garvock significantly,
Once more the banker shrugged his
shoulders,
"I don't believe for a second that
there's any treasure. I put it to you
—is it likely, after all these years,
and with the crew of prospectors that
have been 'over every blessed inch of
the ground a thousand times? You
see, the story of Arizona's buried
treasure got about, and a good many
of the tenderfoots and some of the
old hands as well have had a try for
it."
"You've seen and spoken with my
cousin? He isn't the kind of man to
be taken in with a fairy-tale like this,
I should have thought"
A queer, indefinable expression flit-
ted across the banker's lean face.
"A man is not rho same man here
as elsewhere. There's something in
the air that nips the blood. I loathe
it, but, all the same, I'Il never leave it.
And things have happened here that,
if they were written in books, would
never be believed. It's a land of mys-
tery this! And it's my belief that it
never was intended to be conquered
by civilization—like the rest of the
world—and that they few who have
made good here will have to pay the
price, sooner or later."
"Queer idea! But it's a gorgeous
country," said Garvock. "It's the fin-
est in the world, surely. I've never
seen anything to touch it!"
"Nor anyone else. But don't for-
get that you see it now under the most
favorable conditions. We have eight
months of an Arctic winter when the

Ing, and: some, things that were almost
incredible, about the strange new land'
to which he had come.
He heard stories of the old Dawson
days when the gold -born city was in
the full grip, of lawlessness and hist;
heard, .too, how the troops came ever
the White Horse Pass to proclaim
martial law; and many stories of
personal heroism and adventure which
put into the shade a' the fiction of
adventure he had consumed in his
youth. In fact, he felt inclined to
ask himself whether he vies in his
sober senses, and listening to tales
of actual life.
CHAPTER XXXI..
GREATER LOVE,
On Friday, about ten of the morn-
ing, he got on the stage once
more, bound for the nearest point to
Gold -water Creek. In the late after-
noon, having left his small handbag
at the rest -house, and received full in-
structions, he set out on foot to find
Gold -water Creek and the shack
where Alan Rankine and Affery were
leading the simple life.
To the death, Garvock would rem-
ember that day of heavenly beauty
the entrancing blue of the skies, -,the
vivid coloring on the mountain and
wood, the glow of the summer sun on
the snows, and the wealth of wild
flowers—frail creatures of a day,
many of them, but incomparably beau-
tiful.
The only living thing he encounter-
ed on the way was an Indian squaw
of unimaginable ugliness, who stared
at him with the utmost stolidity and
made no sign that she even recog-
nized his existence. The sight of
smoke a little distance off indicated
the proximity of a wig-wam er shel-
ter of semen kind. Presently he de-
scended upon the left bank of the
Kiondylse River, and began. to find
more signs of life.
Here and there he saw the ruins
of a tumble-down shack, the remnant
of a disused gold dredge, a heap of
tin pannikins and cans, eaten through
with red rust, and at rare intervals
a thin line of smoke curling upward
to the sky, indicating that humanity
was to be found in these strange and
desolate solitudes.
Presently, low down upon the creek,
he came upon an old grizzled man
sitting on his hunkers;. a black and.
foul pipe in the corner of his cheek,
and a paunikin in front of him, in
which he appeared to be washing the
precious dost.
The ice was moving out of the
Klondyke now, and its mid -channel
was clear, but at the edges it had to
be broken and pushed aside to get at
the running water—no difficult task,now that a sun of daily -increasing in-
tensvensity was blazing high in the hea-
To this dishevelled and uncouth old
figure Garvock addressed himself
civilly, asking for the location of
Affery's shack.
He stood up stolidly, and without
uttering a single word, pointed with a
skinny and blackened hand, from
which two fingers bad gone in the
frost -bite, to a little wooden frame
house hanging sheer on the edge of
the bank overlooking the river. It
was about five hundred yards distant.
Garvock thanked him, and pondered
whether he might offer some honor-
arium forservice rendered, but was
restrained by the reflection that per-
haps he might be offering alms to some
Bonanza king, who would scorn it.
As he walked away face to face with
the fact that so short a distance now
intervened between himself and the
man he had made such a tremendous
journey to find, he was overcome by
that strange sort of reluctance which
causes men of his nationality and tem-
perament to shrink from scenes of
emotion or personal feeling. It is
within the mark to say that that was
quite the most poignant moment in
Peter Garvock's momentous under-
taking.
But pulling himself together, he
advanced in a straight line towards
the indicated shack. It stood alone
in the midst of a clearing, with a hill
rising behind it, every available inch
of which was ablaze with flowers. In
front lav the winding river and hills
upon hills beyond, with snow -peaks
rising to the sky.
He marched on, stumbling now and
again over some rut in the track, and
keeping his eyes fixed an the half -open
door. And, presently, it was drawn
back from within, and a man came
out—a long, gaunt man, in top boots
into which his trousers were pushed,
and a digger's shirt of grey flannel,
open at the throat, and guiltless of
a collar.

Alan Rankine looked precisely as a'
Mali might look who -suddenly found
himself •fece to face with some Beni-
zen of another world.
In the last- week he had dwelt much
among dreams and shadows, and lis-
tened by day and through the silent
night watches to the meanderings of
a sick and dying man, and ho had, now
no doubt that' his imagination had
run away with him.
But this wraith was very real, for ,
presently it stepped nearer, and with'
outstretched hand spoke these words:'
"It's Peter Garvock, Alan—come to!
take you home!"
"Peter Garvock I" stammered Ran-,
kine. "But how have you come? How
did you know I was here?"
"I made it my business to find out,
old chap," said Garvock, joyfully, for.
now that Rankine spoke, the strain'
of the moment almost anguished in its
intensity, was relaxed.
"I don't understand," said Rankine;
dully. "It's the, queerest thing I've'
ever heard—that you should seek and
find me here!"
"There's nothing queer about it,
Alan," said Peter Garvock, still cheer-
fully. "Let us ;sit'down here dud just
talk it out."
He made for a bench in front of
the shack, but Rankine looked round
at the door with a somewhat wavering
smile.
"There's a dead man. inside, Peter.
Mir pal—the best pal ev€r man had in
this God -forsaken world!"
Peter looked aghast.
"Affery?"
Rankine noadedi then all at once,
as if feeling the infinite comfort of
a kent face and a friendly eye, he put
his hand on Peter Garvock's arm.
"Let us go into the scrub a bit, and.
sit down. Peter Garvock in the flesh
on the Klondyke! Gosh, but it's a
funny world!"
He laughed then, the strangest
laugh! It was without mirth, and
sounded, in Garvock's ears, sadder
than tears. He cast a swift glance at
his cousin's face, which Alan caught
and fully understood.

Making Music ♦ Well -Balanced
Feature in Sunday School.
"A very essential feature in a -well -
ordered Sunday School is the music,"
claims a superintendent who i$ in a
goon position to judge. "There is a
vast difference," be claims, "between
jingle and music."
"The very best kind of music only,"
lie says; "should be found in the school.
There is so much meaningless stuff
printed under the nine of good anisic,
which is only jingles. There is no in-
spiration to be found in words or tune.
Music which causes the feet to move
and the body to sway should be avoid-
ed In the Sunday school service. This
is characteristic of the jingle stuff,
and is but another meansof adding; to
the disorder of the` Sunday school
life, For example. we have not infre-
quently teen boys during the reading
of the lesson and recitation period
hum one of these catchy songs, and
keep time by moving their arms and
swaying their bodies and stamping
with their feet, emelt to the amuse•
ment of the other teachers and the an-
noyance of the teacher. Such antics
not only added to the disorder of the
school, but at the same time prevent-
ed

music in the school, but worshipful,
inspirational and dignified music
which will instil within the soul that

of the earth! And I'm a hard-headed ,
Yonker from Albany—and don't you
forget it!".
"Well now," said Garvock,trying I /
to shake off the singular spell he felt
being woven about him, "this Gold-
water Creek—how does one get to it?"
"You'll have to go back on the trail
about forty or fifty miles—nothing in
this weather! The day after to -mor-
row the stage starts on the
return rni
journey—probably the •test of the sea-
son. Would you like Inc to go with
you?"
Garvock hesitated a moment, and
the Yankee was quick enough to grasp
the significance- of that brief hesi-
tancy..
"No. Of course you don't want any
strangers messing about the family
gathering, I ought to have known
better. Well, then, where are you
stopping? Will, you come and lunch:'-.
