Different trapping routes are given to Bess and Ned. Togther they Van to escape from the island and send Lenore to call Doomsdorf to their cabin. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY, The pian regarded her with quick- ening interest, yet without the slight- est trace of suspicion. Ho got up at once. Lenore stared at hill, as if in . nightmare. She had Loped in her deepest heart that he would refuse to come, that the treat test of her soul could be avoided, but already he was starth g out the door. She hon done her part; she could wait here, if she liked, till the thing was settled. In a few seconds mora she would know :see fate. Yet she couldn't stay here and wait. To Doemedorf's surprise she followed him through th- door, into the glare of the Northern Lights. She did not knew what impulse moved her; she was only awe •a of the growing cold of terror. Not only Ned and Bess would pay the price if the plan failed. She must pay, too. The thought haunted her, every step, eve wild beat of her heart. Doomidorf was walking swiftly; already he was halfway from the door. The desperate fight for freedom was .almost at hand. But what was free- dom compared to that fear and sleek- ness that is death? There -were no depths of ignominy beyond her now. She cried oat shrilly ai.d incoherently, then stumbling through the snow, caught Doomsdorf's arm. "No, no," she cried, fawning with lips and hands, "Don't go in there —they're going to try to kill you. I didn't have anything to do with it— I swear 1 didn't—and don't make me suffer when I've saved you—" He shoo]' her roughly, until the tor- rent of her words had ceased, and she was silenced beneath his lurid gaze. "You say --they've got a trap laid for he?" he demanded. Her hands clasped before him. "Yes, but I say I'm not guilty—" He pushed her contemptuontle from him, and she fell in the snow. Then, with a half-teeimal same] that revealed all too plainly nis murderous rage, he drew his pistol from his holster and started on. Watching through the eraek in the door, Ned saw the girl's act; and her treason was immedietely evident to him. Whatever darkness engrossed him at the aigh0 of the ignoble girl, ' egging for her little life even at the. cost of her lover's, showed not at all in his white, sot face. Whatever un- speakable despair came upon biro at this ruin of his ideals, this destruction of all his hopes, it was evidenced neithe_ he his actions nor in the clear, cool quality of his thought. No other erisis had eve. found him better disciplined. His mind seemed to circumscribe the whole, dread situa- tion in an instant. He turned, met Bess' straightforward gaze, saw her half -smile of complete understanding. As she leaped toward him, he snatched up their two hooded outer coats, and his arm half encircling her, he guided her through the door. Whether or not she realized what had occurred he did not know, but there was no time to tell her now. Nor were explanations necessary; trusting him to the last she would follow where he led. "We'll have to run for it," he whispered simply "Ease as you ecu." Ned had taken in the situation, made his decision, seized the parkas, and guided Bess through the door all in one breath: the drama of Lenore''s pistol, tools the rifle down from the wall, and started forth down the trail that Ned and Mess had matte, Tired though Bess was from the day'p toil, she moved freshly and ens- sly et first, .•Ned broke trail, she mush- ed a fern feet behind She 'rad no sensationof cold; hardened to steel, her muscles moved like the sliding e. The ice wasfwonderful 'wonderfullysmooth2as yet almost like the first, thilt, bay ice frozen to the depth of safety, Bat already the tilling; pace hed begun to tell. She couldn't keep it up forever without food and ieet. And the brute behind her was tireless, remorseless as death itself, ereeir The Northern Lights died et last in. the sky, and the two hastened on in the wan light of ,'a little moon that was already falling toward the west. ,And now she was made aware that the night was bitter cold. It was get,. ting to her, in spite of her furs. But as yet she gave no sign of distress to Ned. t of her love for him a new strengthiuwas bore that sublime and unnamable strength of women that is nearest to divinity of anything upon this lowly earth—and she knew that it would hold her up beyond the last limits of physical exhaustion: She would not give way to unconscious- ness, thus musing Ned to atop and wait beside her till she died. None of these things would she do. Her spirit soared with the wings of her resolve. Instead, her plan was simply to hasten on—to keep up the pace—until she toopled forward lifeless on the ice, She would master herself until death mastered her. Then Ned, halting but an instant to leorn the truth, could speed on alone. Thus he would have no cause to wait for her. On and en through the night they sped, over that wonderfully smooth ice, never daring to halt: strange, wandering figures in the moonlit. snow. But Bess was not to carry her brave intent through to the end. She had sot counted on Ned's power of observation. He suddenly halted, turned and looked into her face. It was wan rnd dim in the pale light; and yet something about its deepening lines quickened his interest. She saw him start; and with a single syllable of an oath, reached his hand under her hood to the track of the artery at her threat. Be needed to listen but an instant to the fevered pulse to know the truth. • "We're going too fast," he told her shortly, "No—nol" Her tone was desper- ate, and his eyes narrowed with sus- picion. Wrenching beck her self -eon - bee], she tried to speak casuals;, "1 can keep up easily," she told him. "I don't feel it yet—I'll tell you when I'do. We can't ever make it if we slow up," He shook his head, wholly =con- vinced. "I don't know what's got into you, Bess. You can't fool me. I know I feel it, good and plenty, and you're just running yourself to death, Domnsdorf himself can't do any more than kill us—" "But he can—" "We're going to hit an easier pace. Believe me, he's not running his heaxt out; He's planning on endurance, rather than speed. 1 was a fool not to think about you until it began to get me." It was true that the killing pace had been using up the vital nervous, forces of both their bodies. Ned was suffering scarcely not at all as yet, but he had caught the first danger signals, Bess was already approach- ing the danger point of fatigue. When Nod started on again he took a quick but fairly easy walking pace. They meshed on in silence, not even glancing back to keep track of Dooms- dorf. And it came about, in the last hours of the night, that the rest both of them so direly needed was forced upon them by the powers of nature. The moon set; and generally smooth though the ice was, they could not go on by starlight. There was nothing to do but net till down of butter.

After the death of Mene- 1ik, the great emperor, who converted the six independent kingdoms of Abyssinia into a p. werful state, his. widow Tartu, was driven into retire- ment, Lei Yasu, his grandson, was proclaimed king.
