SYNOi SIS:•On the old side-wheel-
er "George E. Starr," on its way to
the Yukon gold fields in the first rush
of '97,Speed Malone, experienced
gold -camp full OWel' and gambler, and
Maung Ed, Maitland, on his first trip,
trying to recoup tris ' lost fancily for-
tune, struck up a strange friendship.
Maitland left Speed playing Solo with
two other men and wandered• for-
ward, to be sharply, recalled by the
report of a Pistol and the news that
his partner had been shot and bad
gone overboard. Ed jumped in after
him,: without second thought. But the
cold Waters got him, and in the end
it was .Speed who did the rescuing,
holding Ed's head above water until
they were taken aboard a little boat
by a French fisherman from Seattle.
Maitland, knowing the sea, took
charge of the little boat when they
persuaded I±ren•ehy to take tltern to
Skagway. After a bard journey they
reached Skagway where they find a
ship unloading miners and horses.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
Speed merely nodded when told of
the failure of his quest.
"What happened at Steiner's?"
Maitland asked. '
It seemed that Frenchy and the
Jew had formed a partnership, to
etart a hauling business from Skag-
waY with the horses and boat for
capital.
With a glance at the clouds Speed ,
suggested that it was going to rain,
and he would do a "sketch round"
"Whether I would or r

He -could slake little of that, ex-
cept to wonder if Tallon was involv-
ed in the mysterious ,gcu1d secret she
spoke of. And, while their hands were
tangled, she drew a'ring front ane of
hers and: slipped it mischievously on
the tip of his little finger.
At that moment a thud oe the
wharf above then iroie •them both.
A dark figure loomed with a bulky
menace in the dark. Maitland first
thought of ballon, but a flare from
the fire revealed an apparition much
Blore disturbing to hint just then.
Speed's apparent size was due to a
roll of blankets on his shoulder.
The outlaw came down the sand.
and dropped his burden near the fire,
still regarding the girl. After a nto-
nient he walked over to the horse and
held the stirrup for her, with a ges-
ture that was polite but implacable.
She waited before mounting, return-
ing- his stare with a look of interest.

In the dips of the :so-called "trail",
a series of quagmires had been e••nlarg-

of successive hooves around the rim.
The swollen carcasses of dead horses
in muskegs and sloughs. On sheer
mountain sides the trail dwindled in
places to a cattle, track, and its haz-

lay in the canyon troughs.,
