The night seemecn to be fall - :lag before Ned's eyes; Lis familiar, .snowy world was dant• with the sear- ing shadow of death'. But the pistol bringing up the rear; a strange death march over those frozen seas. The file trudged on. Ned led the way unguided. The hours passed. The 'dim shadow of the -shore crags strengthened. And another twilight was laying its first shadows on the snow as they stepped upon the snowy beach. It was at this point that Bess sud- denly experienced an inexplicable quickening of her pulse. an untraced but breathless excitement that was wholly apart from the fact that she was nearing the cabin of her destiny. The air itself seemed curiously hush- that of a mighty grizzly wounded to 'ed, electric, as if a great storm were g gathering; the moment was poignant the death. Ned and Bess had passed .with a breathless suspense. She could not have told why. A moment later Ned turned, to her, ostensibly to help her up the steep slope ,of the beach. She saw with amazement that his face was stark white and that his eyes glowed like live coals. Yet no message was con- veyed to Doomsilorf, tramping behind. It was only her own closeness to him, her love that brought her soul to his, that told her of some far-reaching and terrific crisis that was at 'hand last. "Walk exactly in my steps!" he whispered under his breath. It was only the faintest wisp of seend, no louder than his owvn breathing,' yet Bess caught every word. She did not have to be told that there was infinite urgency behind the command.. Her nerves seemed to leap and twitch; yet Outwardly there was no visible sign that a message had been passed be- tween them. Now Ned was leading up toward the shorecrags, It was not merely because cine fu truth was hidden from her that she walked straight and unafraid. She would always follow bravely where' Ned led. Now both of then. had passed through the little, narrow gap between lofty, snow -swept crags. Doomsdorf trudged just behind. Then something sharp and calami- tous as a lightning bolt seemed. to strikeethe pass. There was a loud n ring and clang of etnl, the sharp crack of a snowshoe frame broken to kindling, and t:aen, obliterating both, a wild bellow of human- agony like themselves.' Henceforth all law was that of the wild, never to be question- ed or disobeyed. given the squaw had gone on the Intrepid to join her people in a dis- tant tribe.

And and the knowledge of the choice he dreams passed over him, like waves had made, of the light and shadow of over' water, as he relaxed at last, their 'life trails in the cities of men, breathing in great sobs, in the red- there is nothing that need be further dened drifts.

She had had one dynasty a thousand thousand years; before ever Doohnsdorf made his first track in her spotless snows; ani all that had oeen done and endured was not more than a ripple in the tides that beat upon her shores. With a new spring she came into her own again. Spring brought the Intrepid, sputtering through the new passages between the floes; and the old islend kings returned to rule, before ever the Doomsdorf had stepped squarely into the great bear trap. eras into a little pass be- in safety,Doomsdorf had stepped tween the rocks that was the natural squarely into the great bear trap that egress from the beach on to the hills .,fed had set the evening before. behind.

The shock, more than any human frame could endure, hurled Dooms - deal to his knees; yet so mighty was his physical stamina that he was able to retain his grip on his rifle. And his glowing eyes could have told that this instant bad, by light or circum- stances beyond Bess' ken, become the most crucial in his life. And it was a strange and ironic thing that the They had revealed to Ned the way of happiness—and it led hire straight into Bess' arms. There he could rest at the end of his clay's toil, there he found not ,only love and life, but the sustenance of his spirit, the soul of strength by which he might stand erect and face the light. Thus they had found a safe harbor where the Arctic wind might never chill them; a hearth where such terror as. dwelt in the dark outside could not conte in. (The End.)

As he sprang he drew his knife from its sheath, and cut a white path through the gathering dusk. And now their arms went :.bout each other in a final strug- gle for mastery. . Caught though he was in the trap, Doonisdorf was not beaten yet. He met that attack with incredible power. His great hairy ,hand caught Ned's arm as it descended, and though he could not hold it, he forced him to drop the blade. With the other he reached for his nemy's throat. This was the final conflict; yet of • Lich might were these contestants, so terrible the fury of their on- slaughts, that both knew at once that. the fight was one of seconds.

The right hand of the latter, from which the blade had fallen, tugged at the pistol butt at Doomsclorf's holster. Bess leaped in like' a .she -wolf in defence of her eubs, but one great sweep of Doomsdorf's arm hurled her unconscious in the silow. There Were to be no outside forces influencing this battle. The trap at Doemsdarf's foot was Ned's only advantage; and he had decoyed This enemy into it by his own cunning. It was man to man at last; a cruel war settled for good and all.
