CHAPTER XXXI.—(Cont'd,)
"I'm not off sn nut, Peter, old man!
Only --only up here, at the Back of
Beyond, a man gets a bit away 'from
the normal. Tell me, how long is it
since you left Scotland?"
"Five weeks yesterday."
"And—and—are they all well?" ne
asked, and the question fell with ob-
vious halting and difficulty from his
lips,
"'They are all well. I am here, Alan,
byyour wife's leave and with her
blessing. She wrote to me the night
before I started to wish me God-
speed."
Something leaped in Alan Ran-
kine s
ankine's eyes—a hunger of the heart
which was like a flame in its passion!
It broke up the deadly stillness of his
face, banished the remoteness, brought
him back, swift and sure, to the
realms of living men.
"My wife! Then—then you know,
Peter?"
"They all know. And she and Judy
are at Stair together, waiting for you,
and my immediate business in hie is
to get you to them as quick as I can."
Peter fumbled in his pocket, brought
out the thin,o: -
d bound letter -case,
and handed this cousin the little note
he had received from Carlotta at The
Lees the night before he left it.
Thus and thus did Carlotta write:

"Your grateful friend,
"CARLOTTA RANKINE."
Having read these words, Alain
rose to his feet, and still holding th
slim sheet in his fingers, walked away
And Peter, understanding, sat still
looking after him, and the wonder of
the whole story was upon his soul, like
some flood that bore him away,
When Alan came back his face had
taken on a new look that of a stead-
fast soul which beholds the goal in
front. a
"You can have it now, Alan. Later,
when—when you have something that
is of more account, you can let me
have it back."
Rankine gravely nodded, and open-
ing the bosom of his shirt, placed the
folded sheet within, handling it as a
man handles that which is precious
to him.
"Now speak, Peter. Tell me every-
thing, for the hunger is gnawing in
my heart like a ravening wolf! Speak
till you are tired, for I will never tire
of listening!"
Peter spoke, going back to the be-
ginning of things, to the summer in
which Rankine had left Scotland, giv-
ing a faithful recital of all that had
happened to Stair, and those so dear
to his cousin.
It's an amazing tale, Peter, but
the bit I don't get the hang of fully is
how they can afford to go back to
Stair to live, What miracle has hap-
pened in the meantime?"
"No miracle, Alan," said Peter,
with an odd smile, "You saw Car-
lotta in New York, holding the most
critical audience m the world in
thrall? The woman who can do that
puts money in her purse. It is your
wife who has redeemed Stair!"
Rankine looked incredulous for a
moment, then his fare slowly flushed.
"Riess her! Bless her, ten thousand
tines! lint—"
"She set out to do it," went on Peter

as I had intended to do, and I woke
in Toronto. I went on, but did not
alight at Calgary, as I had intended,
for there was one man in New York
who knew that address, and from
whom it might be possible for Carlotta
to obtain it. I went on' to Vancouver,
and there I fell in with a Yorkshire,
man, who offered me a job on his
ranch, a little east of the Rockies, and
near enough Calgary that could have
found the other man's place without
difficulty. But I lay, low and kept
dark, and for nine months I was lost
there, and was nothing more than one
of a number set to certain tasks. I
did well, for I liked'the life, and, of
course, I was at home in the saddle—
e a good life for the young and fit,'a
, life which a man can live and keep
his self-respect, though it leads no-
where in particular, and keeps him
for ever adrift from all ideas of home.
I spent my days. in the saddle, and
my nights chiefly in the cook -house'
wagon, for we were away from the
homestead, on the round -up, six weeks
at a time. I could spin you a good
many yarns about that bit of my car-
eer, but they'll keep. Perhaps --who
knows ?—some day, on Barassie Hill,
we may sit on the march dyke and,
reel them oft!"
Peter turned his head away, for a
strange, salt moisture stung the eyes
that had never known a tear since
"Judy told me that, from the moment
you left Scotland, Carlotta set herself
to do this, and because she held her-;
self responsible for the parting of
Stair --but it was I who was respon-1

"No, no! And, anyway, you've

you have) For though I have it in my
power to go back, and, if I choose, re-
deem Stair in full, it is a question
whether I would have done it, but for
you. When a man has been here for,
a spell, Peter, at the Back of Beyond,
clean out of all the things.•fhat matter
in the lives of men, something hap-
pens to him; either he loses his sense
of proportion, or he is clean lifted up'
to unimagined heights. He conies
nearer God, I suppose, or else the
Devil gets him. When I came out of
! the shack just now, I was not sure but.;
that the Devil had me fast. You seer,.
I've lost my pal, and what that means ,
to a man on the Yukon—we:l, nobody
but the mwho has been through it
can understand."

CHAPTER XXXII,
..LLAN's STORY.
"Nine months of the ranch, then
Keighley died, and I had to quit."
Alan did not say how or why, though
that part of his experience, and Rose
Keighley's frank offer of a matrimon-
ial partnership would have made no
uninteresting chapter, "Then.I tried

the time T was making slowly West,
or, to put it with absolute correctness,
North-West, towards the Yukon and
Affery. Ile said to me the night I
bade him good-bye at the Central Sta-,
tion in New York that we should meet
on the Yukon—and we did,
"1 came here in October, and found
Affery in Dawson City. It was the
queerest meeting! I came down with
the last boat of the season, and the
pack -ice was grazing her shins all the
way down the river, and on the quay
there stood Affery
"'So you've come!' was all he said,
as casually as if we had met by ar-
rangement, 'I hoped it would be by
this boat, for the trail and the stage
in winter are not for the tenderfoot.'
"Just as if he had been expecting
rue, see! And never a single ques-
tion as to why or how Thad come. He
just laid hold on me, and the next day
we came up to the shack:"
"But that was the beginning of
winter! You moan you wintered
here?"
Rankine nodded.
"It was his idea, and I, well --I
hdan't much choice, and it's a good
Iife; Peter—the life of the wild—for
those who understand it. We lived like
trappers on what we shot and found,
and at night, shut down in the shack,
we were as comfortable as any man
could desire. It was Affery's real
home. That castle be bought in'Don-
egal never held him, nor ever could.
He belonged to the wild,
"He was obsessed by the idea that
there was gold hidden in this neigh-
borhood—the fortune of a pal who
built this very shack. Time and again
he had come back to seek it, and those
who knew about it took it as the
harmleseobsession of a chap not quits
right here," said Rankine, tapping his
forehead. "But it was more than a
notion—he found it before he died.
"I have a sort of queer feeling
about telling you this yarn, Peter, for
you are a chap who deals in hard
facts, and you'll find it difficult to
wallow"
"Oh, no," Peter assured him cheer-
fully. "We're a Iong way from Scot -

"Well. the winter went on. We had
a grand winter, Peter, and here my
soul, in a sense, came to itself,. We.I
had books out from Dawson, and we•
'gad and discussed: everything under
heaven, and I was as happy as a man
ou:d be who had a past he was` afraid
to look back on.
"There never was a day when the
thermometer was higher than fifty;
below zein, and in the nights it some-
times fell to seventy."
•'Can folks live through co:d like
that?"
Rankine nodded.
"It is possible, with suitable cloth-
ing and a house small enough to con-
serve the heat. Alfery's chum, Ari
zona, built the shack down there, and
treasure, He was as set on discover-
ing that before he died es other men
are on accomplishing the objects of
their ambitions! And the odd thing
was that, after all, he diff discover It
just six weeks ago to -day!"
"No!" said Peter Garvock in the
utmost amazement. 'Then there has
been truth in it, after all?"
"It was all true—absolutely so.
Arizona told him about the gold on his
death -bed, and when he was almost
past speech tried to direct him where
to find it. But he couldn't. The only
thing Affery was able to make out
was that it was somewhere near .the
shack. After Arizona died and at.
subsequent visits to the shack, he dug
all about it. Hetook upthe floor, took
off the roof, and explored every likely
nook and cranny. As a matter of
fact, the nuggets were hidden on the
overhanging bank of the creek, just
below the house. I'll show you the hole
later on. It was as cunning. an ar-
rangement as you could imagine—a
regular little mine --yet so carefully
concealed by the brushand the boul-
ders that nobody could have imagined
that there was a covert there even for
a muskrat! But Affery saw one com-
ing outunder the brushwood one day,
and exploring its hole, found the bag
with the nuggets. No! not only one
bag, but three; packed full and burst-
ing with their Shining contents that
had lain there, unknown to any hu-
man being, since Arizona's death in
'ninety-nine."
