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. (Continued Next Week) 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 Drew, head . of the Mounties, said unaware of anything tragic' in its r herewas a strange legend about a ernec to her.

While Speed had gone to Skagway with mail for the Mount- ies, Maitland found a half -frozen fig- ure hi a storm, and discovered it to 'be Pete, who turned ,out to be a girl :disguised as a man. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. The golden head stirred at last on the pillow. Long lashes quivered; gray eyes opened and looked dimly around the cabin. Meeting his, they dropped in bewilderment to the bunk. - After an hour or so the pain be- gan to relent. "I can't even thank yriu, Dud," she murmured. "'Forget that and try to sleep.

She did not say what had brought him North at last to join the prospector who had wronged him, nor what her own ad- ventures had been after his death, or why, she.had recently left the rafters' camp on the Lewes with the intention of going out. "Did you ever find Dalton?" Mait- land asked, after a silence." "I—saw him," Pete said, in an odd- ly withdrawn tone. More hesitantly Maitland asked, "Did you remember him?" "I don't know." Her voice had the same troubled constraint. "In a kind of way." "This is none of my business, Pete, but why didn't he take you with him." Her hand brushed her eyes with a shadowy gesture. "I can't . . , My Bead's kind of .jumbled Bud." ud. "Anyway you're safe now, Pete," he said. "By the time you're able to travel, we'll figure something better for you than going out." * Th cell of the Skagway jail was a 'plain thick -studded box, except for. The ex -fisherman squirmed back a little, not quite able, to keep a firm front with that, even voice in his ears. "You don't forget, neither, do you, Frenchy?" his prisoner acknowledged, eyeing the fish, and then the knife in his belt, on which his free hand had closed. "Are ,you the marshal's offic- ial sticker?" , Narrow black eyes beaded with a rankling heat which only blood could quench, as the cool gray ones of his defenseless prisoner lifted -to his face. The pause grated on the impatient guard at the door. "If that's the at here besth you •can do, frog, back them plates before he takes your knife and carves ye." "Reckon this feller don't know who he's callin', Frenchy," Speed observed, as the fisherman backed. an involun- tary nvolun-tary step or two. `Tell him what you done to Horse McGinnis of Spokane.

An . oath from the guard showed that Frenchy's elevation to office was not popular with the marshal's squad, He swung the door, and hooked the fisherman with a boot -toe to speed his exit. In that finely measured instant, Speed jumped for the door. Speed reached the corridor in a bound. A gun blazed out of the dark tangle but he was already clear of the passageway and gone. * * * * The candas between the frame and the rafters was dark. Unfortunately otherwise, Steiner was out.

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, gripping the bar, as -a dark shape brushed along the tent wall within a yard of him., In that instant, of its disclosure, his handl lunged 'rut .and clutched a man by the throat.

Then the hunt was on. The client wore a dicer hat and stuttered; was know as "Lefty" and suspected of being a pickpocket. Speed ran the man to earth ,in a gambling tent, where he cut into the same poker game, and dealing Lefty a hand on which the thief would wil- lingly have bet his shirt, lured the. nugget into the game on a raised pot. The shining, foliated piece of gold was weighed on the bar . scales and played for twice its gold value. Speed won itwith a straight flush. When Lefty disconsolately quit the table, Speed grilled him about the nugget, Under pressure, the thief maintained the extraordinary story and repentance, and seeking the will of the Lord, should be spared.
