CHAPTER XXXI—(Cont'd.)
"I'm not off my nut, Peter, old man!
Only -only up here, at the Lack of
Beyond, a man gets a bit away from
the normal. Test me, how long is it
since you, left Scotland?"
"Five weeks yesterday."
"And—and—are they all well?" he
asked, and the question fell with ob-
vious halting and difficulty from his
lips.
"They are all well. I am here, Alan,
by your wife's leave, and with her
blessing. She wrote to me the night
before I started to wish me God-
speed."
Sc:stething keaped in Alan Ran-
kine's eyes—a hunger of the heart
which was like a flame in its passion!
It broke up the deadly stillness of his
face, banished the remoteness, brought
him back, swift and sure, to the
realms of living men.
"My wife! Then then you know,
Peter?"
"They all know. And she and Judy
are at Stair together, waiting for you,
and my immediate business in life is
to get you to them as quick as I can."
Peter fumbled in his pocket, brought
out the thin, gold -bound letter -case,
and handed to his cousin the little note
he had received from Carlotta at The
Lees the night before he left it.
Thus and thus did Carlotta write:
"Dear Peter,—It is a great thing
makes your food do you
more good.
Note how it relieves
that stuffy feeling
after hearty eating.
Sweetens the
breath, removes C
food particles
from the teeth, `-0
gives new vigor
to tired nerves.
Comes to you
fresh, clean and
full -flavored.

The Ri ht Way
to Boil Potatoes
Put the potatoes in an SIMIP
Enameled Potato Pot. Cover
'with water. ;Add salt to
taste. Boil until soft. When
gnialied, drain off all the
boiling water through the
strainer spout. No danger
of steam scalding the, hands
because the handle securely
locks the cover on. If your
family uses potatoes, you
require one of these.

this that you are going to do—one of
the great deeds of love and service
which redeem life from its badness,
and lift it up. God will be with you,
I don't doubt, because many will be
praying for you in Scotland. For me
—if it should be that the good God
permits you to bring back my husband
to Stair, then my debt will be one
that never can, or will, be paid. But
I shall be content to owe it, because I
know that it will make you a happier
pian. God bless you, Peter Garvock,
and I am, till death,
"Your grateful friend,
"CARLOTTA RANKINE."
Having read these words, Alani
rose to his feet, and still holding the
slim sheet in his fingers, walked ;way.
And Peter, understanding, sat still,
looking after him, and the wonder of
the whole story was upon his soul, like
some flood that bore him away.
When Alan came back his face had
taken on a new look—that of a stead-
fast soul which behold;; the goal in
front.
"You can have it now, Alan. Later,
when—when you have something that
is of more account, you can let me
have it back."
Rankine gravely nodded, and open-
ing the bosom of his shirt, placed the
folded sheet within, handling it as a
man handles that which is precious
to him.
"Now speak, Peter. Tell .me every-
thing, for the hunger is gnawing in
my heart like.a ravening wolf! Speak
till you are tired, for I will never tire
of listening!"
Peter spoke, going back to the be-
ginning of things,. to the summer in
which Rankine• had left Scotland, giv-
ing a faithful recital of all thathad
happened to Stair, and those so dear
to his cousin.
"It's an amazing tale, Peter, but
the bit I don't get the hang of -fully is
how they can afford to go back to
Stair to live. What miracle has hap-
pened in the meantime?"
"No miracle, Alan," said Peter,
with an odd smile. "You saw Car-
lotta in New York, holding the most
critical audience m the world in
thrall? The woman who can do that
puts money in her purse. It is your
wife who has redeemed Stair 1"
Rankine looked incredulous for a
moment, then his fare slowly flushed.
"Bless her! Bless her, ten thousand
times! ,lilt—"
"Sher set out to do it," went on Peter
Garvock, for now that atonement was
possible, he would give it in full mea-
sure, pressed down, and running over!
"Judy told me that, from the moment
you left Scotland, Carlotta set herself
to do this, and because she held her-
self responsible for the parting of
Stair -•--but it was 1 who was respon-
sible for that! 1, and no other."
"No, no! And, anyway, you've
wiped it out to -day, Peter! By God,
you have! For though I have it in my
power to go back, and, if I choose, re-
deem Stair in full, it is a question'
whether. I would have done it, but for
you. When a man has been here for
a spell, Peter, at the Back of Beyond,
clean out of all the things that matter
in the lives of men, something hap-
pens to him; either he loses his sense
of proportion, or he is clean lifted up
to unimagined heights. He comes
nearer God, I suppose, or else the
Devil gets hire. When I came out of
the shack just now, I was not sure but
that the Devil had me fast. You see,
I've lost my pal, and what that means
to a man on the Yukon—well, nobody
but the man who has been through it
can understand."
"But, after. 01, Adan," said Peter

and that, atthe present moment, she
is neither nail, wife, nor widow.
And so right back you march with
me—this very day, if I can take you!"
It was the right note to strike, and
the red rose in Rankine's cheek ,again.
"You're right, Teter. But listen to
the tale of the last two years, and
then, perhaps, you will grant,;thet
there are seasons in a man's life when
to shirk his responsibilities seems not
only natural, but absolutely the only
thing to do.
"When I saw Carlotta in the Man-
batten Theatre that night, Peter, and
realized the impassable gulf between
us, something seemed to burn in my
brain till I did not know who or where
T was. I had only one object in front
—to get clean away from New York,
to put the whole breadth of the Am-
erican continent—the world; if pos-
sible!—between me and the woman
whose life 1 had spoiled,. 1 realized
then—as you 'say—that she was neith-
er maid, wife, nor widow, and that
the wrong I had done her was irre-
parable.
"I had the idea of suicide when I
got outside, but, somehow,..I lacked
either courage or resource—I can't
tell. Anyhow; I had my chance, for
my railway tickets were hi my pocket,
and I boarded the train at midnight,,
as I had intended to do, and I woke
in Toronto. I went on, but did not
alight at Calgary, as I had intended,
for there was one man in New York.
who knew that address, and: from
whom it might be possible for Carlotta
to obtain it. I went on to Vancouver,
and there I fell in with a Yorkshire.
man, who offered me a job on . his
ranch, a little east of the Rockies, and
near enough Calgary that I could have
found the other man's place without
difficulty. But I lay low and kept
dark, and for nine months I was lost
there, and was nothing more than ohe`
of a number set to certain tasks. I
did well, for I liked the life, and, of
course, I was at home in the saddle-
a good life for the young and fit, a
life which a man can live and keep
his self-respect, though it leads no-
where in particular, and keeps him
for ever adrift from all ideas of home.
I spent my days in the saddle,; and
my nights chiefly in thecook-house.

homestead, on the round -up, six weeks
at a time. I could spin you a good
many yarns about that bit of my car-
eer, but they'll, keep. Perhaps—who.
knows?—some day, on Barassie Hill,
we may sit on the march dyke and
reel them off!"
Peter turned his head away, for a
strange, salt moisture stung the eyes
that • had never known a -tear since
boyhood.
CHAPTER XYXII.
ALLAN'S STORY.
"Nine months of the ranch, then
Keighley died, and I had to quit.",
Alan did not say how or why, though
that part of his experience, and Rose
Keighley's frank offer of a matrimon-
ial partnership would have, made no
uninteresting chapter. "Then- I' tried`
the lumber camps, but that was the
absolute limit! Gad! what brutesmen
are, herded together, cut off from all
that's good. The mother's sons I've,
seen wallowing in the pit! I couldn't
stick it. I quitted that too; and all.
the time 1 was making slowly West,
or, to put it with absolute correctness,
North-West, towards the Yukon . and
Affery. He said to me the night I
bade him good-bye at the Central Sta-
tion in New York that we should meet
on the Yukon—and we did.
"I came here in October, and found
Affery in Dawson City. It was the
queerest meeting! I came down with
the last boat of the season, and the
pack -ice was grazing her shins all the
way down the river, and on the quay
there stood Affery.
" `So you've come!' was all he said,.
as casually as if we had met by ar-
rangement. 'I hoped it would be by
this boat, for the trail and the stage
in winter are not for the tenderfoot,'
"Just as if he had been expecting
me, see! And never a single Ques-
tion as to 'why or how T had come. Ke.
just laid hold on me, and the next day
we came up to the shack.
"But that was the beginning of
winter! You mean you wintered
here?"
Rankine nodded.
"It was his idea, and 1, well—I
hdan't much choice, and it's a good
life, Peter -the life of the wild—for
those who understand it. We lived like
trappers on what we shot and -foun.
and at night, shut down in the shae
we were as comfortable as any man
could desire. It was Affery's .real
home. That castle he bought in Don-
egal never held him, nor ever could.
He belonged to the wild.
"He..was obsessed by the idea that
there was gold hidden in this neigh-
borhood—the
eigh-borhoodthe fortune of a pal who.
built this very shack. Time and again'
he had come hack t4 seek it, and those
who kne* about it took it as the
harmless obsession of a chap not, quite
right here," said Rankine, tapping his.
forehead, se"But it was more than a
notion—he found it before he died.
"I have a sort of queer feeing•
about teliing you this yarn, Peter, for
you are a chap wlio deals in hard
facts, and you'll find it difficult to
swallow."'
"Oh, no," Peter assured him cheer-
fully. "We're a long way from Scot-
land now, and it's possible to swallow
anything!"
":Well, the winter went on. We e had
a grand winter, Peter, and here my
soul; in a sense, came to itself. We
1 had books out from Dawson, and we
read and discussed everything under
heaven, and I was as happy as u: man
could be who hada past he was afraid
to look back on.
"There never was a day when ,the
thermometer was higher than fifty
below zero, and in, the nights it some-
times fell to seventy."
"Can folks live through cold like
that?"
Rankine nodded.
"It is possible, with suitable oth-
ing and a house small enough to con,
serve the heat. Aflgry's churn,; sirs-

S8 a breath of wind can get through.
It's lined, sand interlined and when
the stove's piled high, and going mer-
rily, it is as comfortable and warm
'as the heart of man could desire! In
March, when the cold is at its worst,
at the time when more temperate cli-
mates are enjoying their spring, Af..
fery got a bad cold.
"He was always out in the scrub,
watching the wild creatures, shooting,
when we needed fresh meat, but he
never trapped apythingg! He said that
was a cowardly and devilish way of
treating dumb animals; and it was
through kneeling for a long time at a
trap iso let loose a gopher that he got
this cold.
"It was snowing hard, and he got it
soaked into him, and next day his
temperature was up. He got better
of that, and was about again but not
so strong as before.' Ile talked less
about leaving the Yukon, and more—
l), great deal more—about Arizona's
treasure. He was as set on discover-
ing that before he died as other omen
are on accomplishing the objects of
their ambitions! And the odd thing
was that, after all, he did discover it
just six weeks ago to -day!"
"No!" said Peter Garvock in the
utmost amazement. 'Then there has
been truth in it, after all?"
"It was all true—absolutely so.
Arizona told him about the gold on his
death -bed, and when he was almost
past speech tried to direct him where
to find It. But he couldn't. The only
thing Affery was able to make out
was that it was somewhere near the
shack. After Arizona died and at
subsequent visits to the shack, he dug
all about it. He took up the floor., -took
off the roof, and explored every likely
nook and cranny. As a matter of
fact, the nuggets were hidden on the
overhanging bank of the creek,ust
below the house. I'll show you the hole
later :on, It was as cunning an ar-
rangement as you could imagine—a
regular little mine—yet so carefully
concealed by the brush and the boul-
ders
outtiers that nobody could have imagined
that there was a covert there even for
a muskrat! • But Affery saw one com-
ing out under the brushwood one day,
and exploring its hole, found the bag
with the nuggets, No! not only one
bag, but three, packed full and burst-
ing with their shining contents that
had lain there, unknown to any hu-
man being, since Arizona's death in
'ninety-nine."
