The blizzard had caused a disrup-
tion in Drew's mail service at a crit-
ical time when: the inspector was
short of a driver. A sled shipment of
gold was to be run to Skagway and
a packet of mail brought back, con-

That fragment cast the shadow
a strung triangle, though Pete seemed,
minutes dragged before a distant
trampling began to pound on his ear-
drums. A shore party had been eolith-
ing the beach, The empty boats at
mooring and the ship in the gulf
would naturally suggest that way of
escape. As he sprang erect, his sharp
whistle pierced the dusk.

Speed knew that life had left marks ye too"
on him legible enough to that veteran
judge of men.
On delivering the gold to the wharf
agent in Skagway, he had not been
able to pick up a his sledload immedi-
ately for the return trip. A ship lay
in the gulf in a twinkling flotsam of
shore ice. Her arrival, delayed by the

The golden head stirred at last on

gray eyes opened and looked dimly
around the cabin. Meeting his, they

,Still the object of his search eluded
him. He was beginning to think that
the Jetiwhad done some empty boast-
ing whet his eye fell on a longish box
in the far corner, under a shelf.. He
pulled it out, and delicately prying it
open with the bar, put his fingers in-
side. With a grunt of `relief, he re-
moved the cover and took out two
sticks of dynamite.
As he dropped in the snow and
paused to listen, his skin prickled with
a sense' of some lurking presence
close by, soundless and unseen. He
started swiftly back along his previous
trail through the tents, without touch-
ing the gun at his belt,
Speed crouched forward tensely,

Speed ran the man to earth ,in a
