He brags to Ned and the gide that he Weans to make them his slaves. The prisoners build a cabin and their master gives them an old stove. Lenore is too weakto work so the entire burden falls to Bess and Ned. They are driven by Doomsdorf until they fall unconscious; After the cabin is finished Dooms- dorf announces that he means to have Ids prisoners do al Ms winter trap- ping. Ned protests that they know nothing of the work but Doomsdorf says they will have to learn. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. dere watelling him with keenest fine terest. "I didn't think yea were maze enough to do it,", he commented. "You'll say that's quite a treat won't you?," "It's quite a trap; Ned agreed shortly. "What kind of an elephant do you take in it?" "No kind of elephant, but one o£ the grandest mammals that ever lived, at that I don't trap them mock, be- cause I hardly get -enough for their skins to pay for handling them—you can guess they're immensely bulky, There's a fair price for their skulls, too, but the skull alone is a fair load for a weak back, Last year I needed a few hides for the cabin. Did you ever hear of the Kodiac bear?" He cut a slender whip, about half an inch in diameter, from a nearby willow, and thrusting bothends into the ground in front of the trap, made an arch. "When the.oldboy bones along, he'll lift his frond foot right over that arch, to avoid stepping on anything that, looks so unstable, and then straight down into the 'trap, Doomsdorf explained. "If it was heavy wood, he'd rest his foot on it. and miss the trap." A few minutes later they came to what seemed to Ned a new and inter- esting geological formation, It seemed to be a noisy waterfall of three or four feet, behind which the creek was damned to the proportions'of a small, narrow lake, (To be continued,) Popular Pickles CHAPTER XX.

Doomsdorf drew for her guidance a simple map that would remove all danger of going astray. Ned's route was slightly more come plicated, yet nothing that the veriest greenhorn could not follow: It took him first to what Doomsdorf called his Twelve -Mile cabin at the very head of the little stream on which the home cabin was built, thence fol- lowing a well -blazed trail along an extensive though narrow strip of tin- her, a favorable counta'y for marten, to the top of the ridge, around the glacier, and down to the hut that Bess occupied the third night out, known as the Forks cabin; thence up the righthand fork to its mother spring, the Thirty -Mile cabin; over the ridge and down to the sea, the Sea cabin; and then, trapping salt -water mink and otter; to the home cabin, five days' journey in all. As if smiling upon their venture, nature gave them a oldie dawn in which to start forth. The squaw and Bess started up from the river mouth together, the former in the role of teacher; Ned and Doomsdorf followed up the little, silvery creek ,that rippled CHAPTER XIX,—(Cont'd.) '"Two of 'em are four-day lines, and orae a five-day line—that is, they take four and live days respectively. to get around. On each one I've built series of huts, or shacks, all of then with a stove and supplies and food, and you put up in then for the night. They are a day's march apart, giving you time to pick up your skins, reset, and so on, as you go. "You'll be away from me and this cabin for days at a time, but if you're figuring on any advantage from that, just put it out of your mind, the soon- er the better, Maybe you think you can sneak enough time to stake a boat, smuggle it down to the water, and cast off. Let me assure you you'll have no time to sneak. You'd never get more than a few hours' start; and they wouldn't help you at all on the ice fields!

I'll just say this. I have a pretty good ]i ea how this country runs—just how many skins each line yields with fair trap- ping. I'm going to increase that esti- mate by 20 per cent.—and that's to be your minimum. I won't say what that amount is now. But if at the end of the season you're short—by 0310 skin—look out! It means that you'll have to be about 20 per cent. smarter and more industrious than the aver- age trapper." "But man—" Ned protested. "We're not experienced=-" "You'll learn quick enough. Aren't you the dominant race.? And I warn you again—you'd better drop bitter tears every time your find where a wolverine has been along and eaten an ermine out of a trap!" The man was not jesting. They lrnew him well enough by now; the piercing glitter of his keen grey eyes, the odd fixation about his pupils that was always manifest when he was most in earnest, was plainly in evi- dence now. Thus it was with the most profound amazement that Lenore's companions suddenly saw her beauti- ful mouth curling in a smile, For thentelves they were lost in despair, All too plainly Damneder/ bad merely hinted at the cruel rigors of the trapper's trail. Yet Lenore was smiling. Then Ned saw, with a queer little tug of his heart, that the smile was not meant f0a him. Lenore was smiling at Doomsdorf. She was looking straight into his grey eyes. Her cheeks were flushed a love- ly pink; her eyes were smiling too; she presented an image of ineffable beauty, "I'm afraid I wouldn't be much good to you, as a trapper," she began quietly, her voice of cloying sweetness, "I'ni afraid I'd only get in the way and scare the little—ermines, you call them?—out of the country. r.

Perhaps the master was flattered that Lenore was so 'anted, perhaps he 'wished to reward her attitude of friendliness so that Bess might take example. m "You want to stay here with Sindy end he, eh?" he commented at last, 4'Wel1, Sindy might like some help.

Ha watched Ned's face with keenest terest, The younger man flushed in isearnestness, his adoring gaze on ore. "I'm only too glad to make it easier for you," ho said, his crooked, boyish smile dim at his lips. "That's the one thing that matters—to help Ton all I can.

The squaw and Bess started up from the river mouth together. past the home cabin.. And for the first time on Bell Island Ned had a chance really too k about him. "Where there's timber, there's mar- ten," Doomsdorf explained, "Marten, I Suppose you know, are the most valuable furs we take, outside of sil- ver and blue fox—and one of the easiest taken.'" He took one of the traps from Neel's shoulder and showed him 'how to make the eat. The bait was placed a few feet above the trap, in this case, on the trunk of the'tree, so that to reach it the marten would almost certainly spring the trap. They tramped 031, and Doomsdorf pointed out where a wolverine had come down the glade and crossed the creek. "You'll curse at the very name of wolverine before the season's done," Doomsdorf told hon, as Ned paused to study the imprint. "He's the demon of the snow so far as the trapper is concerned. Nevertheless, you'll want to take a skin for your own use. It's the one fur for the hood of a parka—you can wear it over your mouth in fifty below and it doesn't get covered with ice from your breath. But you'll have to be a smarter man than I think you are to catch him" Once they paused before a great, cruel instrument of iron, seemingly much too large to be a trap, that had been left at the set from the previous trapping season. "Lilt it," Doomsdorf advised, Ned bent, finding the iron itself heavy in hie 013118. "No creature's going to wall( away with that on his leg, is he?" "No? That's all you know about it. I'll admit that you wouldn't care to walk with it very far. You would see why I didn't take it into shelter at the close of the season—although of course it's easy enough to haul on a sled. You noticed it's attached to a chant, and that chain to a toggle." "Toggle was a word that Ned had never heard before, but which plainly represented a great log, or drag, to *0111511 the trap chain was attached. It took nearly all of Ned's strength to push down the powerful springs and set the great jaws. The fact that he didn't know just how to go about it impeded him, too.

Farmers, for instance, must have a thousand memories of those pallid. dawns which break over an agricul- tural country, when the cattle are discovered standing knee-deep in earth -clinging mist all millions of beads of dew poise on the surface stalks of the heaps of hay in a womn field, and a pale sun streams across• the summer psteres.

Sunset is familiar and. tom- panionable by comparison—ale experi- ence that has been with us al] our days. Few people, for instance, would have a distinct recollection of the Brat sunset Obey ever saw. Sun- sets were as much a part of daily childish life as dinner or play or gar- den flowers.
