BY OTTWELL BINNS . .

(Continued from last week)
""'You are trying to scare me be-
cause T'm a tender -foot," she retort-
ed with a laugh that was like music
in Stane's ears; "but 'I won't be scar-
ed."
She resumed her song with a gay
air of bravado; passing from -one
chanty to another in a voice fluty as
a blackbird. ,Stave smiled to him-
self. He liked her spirit, and fie
knew that that would carry her
through the difficulties that lay be-
fore them, even when the flesh was
inclined to failure. But presently
the springs of song dried up, • and
when the silence had lasted a little
tine he looked around. The girl's
face was flushed, and the sweat was
dropping in her eyes.
"Nothing the matter, I hope, Miss
Yardely?"
"No, thank you," she answered
with a little attempt to laugh; "but
one can't sing, you knew, with mos-
quitoes and other winged beasts pop-
ping into one's 'mouth."
"They are rather a nuisance," he
agreed, and 'plodded on.
Packing one's worldly possessions
through the pathless wilderness is a
slow, grinding misery. The lightest
pack soon becomes a burden. At the
beginning of a march it may seem a
mere nothing, in an hour it is an
oppression; in three a millstone is a
feather compared with it; and before
night the inexperienced packer feels
that, like Atlas, he bears the world
'ifpon his• shoulders. It was therefore
little wonder that Helen Yardely
ceased to sing after they had march-
ed but a very little way; and indeed
the trail, apart from the apparently
growing weight ,of the pack, was not
favourable, to song. There was ne
sort of path whatever after they had,
left the river bank; nothing but the
primeval forest, with an undergrowth
hat was so dense that the branehes-
f one bush were often interwoven
ith its neighbours. Through this
hey had to force their 'way, head
town, hands and clothes suffering
adly in the process. Then would
ome a patch of Jack -pine, where
rees seven to ten feet high grew
n such profusion that it was well-
'igh impossible to find a passage be -
ween them; and on the heels of this
would follow a stretch of muskeg,
uaking underfoot, and full of boggy
traps .for the unwary. In the larger
iirber also the' deadfalls presented au
m�mense ciifculty. Trees, With their
pan of -life exhausted, year after
year, had dropped where they' stood,
And dragging others down in' their
all, cumbered the ground in all di-
ections, sometimes presenting tang -
ed barriers which it was ne 2e3sary to
climb over,. a method not unaccom-
panied by danger, since in the criss-
cross of the branches and trunks a
fall would almost inevitably have
meant a broken limb.
The ground they travelled over was
uneven, intersected here and there
by gullies, which were only to be
skirted by great expense of time and
energy, and. . the crossing of which
was sometimes dangerous; but had
perforce. to be accomplished; and by
noon when they reached the bank of
a small stream, the girl was exhaust-
ed and her face wore a strained look:
Stane saw it, and halting, took off
his•pack.
"Time for grub," he said.
Then .....un.�trapping his pack he
stretched a blanket on the sloping
ground. ..The girl watched him with
interest.
"Why-" she began, only to be
promptly interrupted.
"For you," he explained briefly:
"Lie down and relax your limbs. Pull
this other blanket over you, then you'
won't chill.
"But I want to help," she protest-
ed. "I don't like to feel that you
are working and I-"
"You will help best by obeying or-
ders," he said, smilingly. "We shall
have to push on after an hour, and
if you don't rest you will be too done
up to keep the trail till evening."
"Then I must obey," she said.
His turned to look for woad with
which to make a fire, and when he
returned she' was lying on the blanket
With another drawn over her, and her
eyes smiled at him as he appeared.
The next minute they were closed,
and two minutes later she was fait
asleep. Stave, as he realized the fact,
smiled a little to himself.
"Of spirit compact," he murmured
to himself and went forward with
preparations far a meal.
It was two hours later when the
girl awoke and the meal was ready
--a quite substantial one.
"Have I slept long?" inquired Hel-
en, moving towards the fire.
"Two hours. But don't worry about
that. We have lost no time really,
for dI have done a little exploring.
There's a stretch of high ground in
front of us, a kind of height of land
between the river we have left and
the one we are making for. Once we
are well across that We shall find the
going easier. We'll tackle it this af-
ternoon. I`n found ,oteethirig, like
a path; an old trapping -line I should
think by the way the trees have been
blazed."
When the meal was finished they
put out the fire and started anew,
and by evening hard passed the crest
of the - high land between the rivers,
and were moving down the wooded°
slopes on the further side looking for
a camping place. The timber thick-
ened and they suddenly encountered
only encounter' others. I'll go first
and have a look at. the other side,"
'He began to crawl gingerly along
the monarch tree at the crown of the
pile. Its branches were twisted in all
directions, and dangerous snags were
frequent Suddenly his foot slipped.
.He made a wild attempt to, regalehis
'balance, but the heavy pack prevent-
ed him; and a second later with a
shout he plunged into the tangled
pile below, vanishing from the girl's
sight on the further side. With a
swift cry of alarm, 'Helen, who had
been seated ori a' fallen trunk, leaped
to her feet. She called out to him,
her voice shaking with fear:
"Mr. 'Stene! 'MHr. Stane!"
There came no answering hail from
the other side' of the deadfall antlr
with dismay manife§ting itself in her
beautiful face, the girl, faced the -bar-
rier and began to climb with reck-
less, desperate haste.
'CHAPTER VIII
A IMEi,✓'1'1NG IN THE FOREST
Gerald Ain?ey's canoe had almost
reached the junction of the rivers, on
the return journey, and he. and his
companion were 'battling hard against
the acceleration of the. current, when
the Indian gave a grunt and looked
round.
nWhat is ....it, Joe?" asked Ainley
quickly.
"Man with canoe," answered the
Indian laconically. . "He made a
portage."
"Where?"
"Up river," replied the Indian with
a jerk of his head. Ainley craned his
neck a little and, as he did. so, just
caught sight of a man moving across
an open place between the trees a
quarter of a mile away, the canoe
over his head and shoulder like a
huge. cowl.
"We �ipust speak to him, Joe! Per-
haps he has news,"said Ainley quick-
ly, ar1'dea second later, shouted at the
top of his' voice. "Hal -to -o -o!"
That the 'man heard the hail was
sure, 'for libt"h of them saw him halt
and turn to look downstr•ea m; but the
next moment he turned, and, continu-
ing his journey, was instantly lost in
the thick of the trees.
"That was queer," said Ainley. "He
heard me, but.whoever he is he
doesn't want to speak.to us."
'"We catch, him,'' replied Ainley.
'SHIe heard me, but whoever he is hh,
doesn't want to speak to uen
"We catch hire," replied the Indian.
"'Make land below the meeting of
the waters, and portage through
woods to other • river. Meet him
there."
As The spoke the native began to
make a course across the river and
Ainley asked for information:
"I, don't understand, Joe. If we
land below the junction, how Can we
meet a man who lands above?"
''Both go' the same• way," grunted
the Indian. "Walk to meet the man.
We make short portage, and wait
for him' acfoss• the water. He come
and we meet him."
Ainley stilLwas in a fog; but when
they had landed -end ,had started t6
follow a well-defined` path .through
the forest he understood. •The direc-
tion they were following'would bring
them to the, bank of the tributary
river, perhaps a mile and a. half from
the meeting of the waters; and the
path which -the stranger was follow-
ing would bring hire out on the op-
posite side of the river. If Joe were
right the lower portage was the
shorter, and, notwithstanding that
the other man had the start, they
could reach the river first, and would
be able to force a mieeting on hint
however,• much he Wished to avoid
them.
After half an hour's steady trudg-
ing through the woods they came in
sight of the water once more, and
set their burdens down behind a
screen of bushes.
"-We Asst," said the Indian after' a
cautious survey of the empty river.
"Wait! He come."
Seated behind :the screening bush-
es they waited, watching the other
side. of the river. Half an hour pass-
ed and the man for whom they watch-
ed did not appear. Then the Indian
spoke.
"The man know," he said. "He wait
till we go."
"But why should he be'afraid?:'
asked .Ainley sharply.
"I not know!. But he wait."
"Then if the mountain 'won't come
to Mahomet, Mehemet must go to the
mountain."
"What that?" asked the Indian.
"We will cross the river," said Ain-
ley. "We will go look for him."
"Good!" said the Indian.
'Five minutes later they were afloat
once more, and in a few minutes had
landed on the further side. '
"You stop here with the canoe,
Joe," said Ainley, pic'ki'ng up his
rifle. '"I'll go and hunt up the fel-
low. If you hear me call, come along
at once."
The Indian nodded and proceeded
to fill a pipe, whilst the white man.
following the track made by man
feet portaging from one river to th
other, moved, into the woods. He made
no attempt at concealment, nor did
he move with caution, for he was as-
sured that in the dense wood a man
burdened with a canoe could not turn
aside from the path without disaster
overtaking him. If he kept straight
•'on he was bound to meet the. man
Whom he apught,
That conviction proved to he well-
grounded. He had been Walking less
than ten minutes when he caught
sight of the canoe lying directly in'
his way, with the man who had been
carrying it seated on the ground with
his hack against a tree, smoking. As
the man caught sight of him he start-
ed to his feet and stretched his hand
towards a gun reposing, against a
trunk. Holding his own rifle ready
foe action, Ainley shouted reassuring
words to the man, and then moved

Sharply,.
"3 not run," answered the half-
breed -insolently. °I carry the canoe
an' I ,tink I not wait. ,Dat is all."
Ainley looked at the an thought-
fully. There was something • furti,ve
about the fellow, and he was sure
that the reason given was not the
real one.
"Then why are you waiting here?"
he asked, with a directness that in
no way nonplussed the other.
"I take what you can a breather,"
answered' the man stolidly, "What
matter to you?"
Ainley looked at himt He was sure
the man was lying, but it was no 'af-
fair of his, and after a moment he
turned to his main purpose.
"I wanted to ask you something,"
he said. "A white girl has been lost
on the river ---she is a niece of a great
man in theCompany, and I am look-
ing for her. Haveyou seen her?"
"What she like?" asked the half-
breed 'with a sudden quickening of
interest.
Ainley described Helen Yardely to
the best of his ability, watching the
other's evil face whilst he did se,
and before he had ended guessed that
the mean knew something -of the girl
he was seeking. "
"You have seen her?" he cried
abruptly.
"Oui!" replied the half-breed. "I
haf seen her, one, two, tree, days
ago. She is in canoe on zee` river."
He pointed towards the water as he
spoke, and waved his hand towards
the south. "She is ver' beautiful;
an' I watch her for zee pleasure, vous
comprenez? And anoder man he
watched also. I see him, an' I see
him shoot with zee gene -once, twice
he shoot.' '
"You saw him -shoot?" Afnley's•
face had gone suddenly white, and:
there was a tremor ill his voice as
he asked his questions. "Do you mean
he shot the girl?" ,••
"Nod No! Net `zee girl, He n*ery
bad shot if he try. ' Non= it was zee
paddle he try for, an' he get it zee
second time. I in the woods this side

"You, saw him?" asked Ainley; in
a faltering voice. "Who was he?"
"I not know," answered the half-
breed quickly, "but 1 think I see heem
again since."
"You think ----i"
"Oui! I tink I talk with heem;

"Yes," replied the white man stand-

on his face. • For a full two minutes
he did not speak• again, but stood
as if resolving some plan in bis mind,
then he looked at the half-breed a-
gain.
"You are going up the river?" he
asked. . -
"Oui! '
"Then ,1 want you to do something
for me. A day's, journey or so fur-
ther on you will find a camp; it is the
camp of a great man of the Come

"I know it," interrupted the half-
breed, "I haf seen it"
"Of coui"se, I had forgotten you
had been in the neighbourhood of it!
Well, I want you to go there as fast
As you can and. to take a note for
me. There will be a reward." , •
"I will take zee note."
"Then you must wait whilst I
write it."
Seating himself upon a fallen tree
he scribbled a hasty note to Sir James
Yardely, telling him that he had news
of Helen and that he hoped very
shortly to return to camp with her,
and having addressed it gave it to
the half-breed.
"There is need for haste," he said.
"I will reward you now, and° the great
man, w'llose niece the girl is will re-,
ward you further when you take the
news of her that is in the letter. But
you will remember not to talk. I
should say nothing about what you
saw up the river a few days back.
Sir James is a suspicious man, and
he might think that you fired those
shots yourself -in which case----"
He shrugged his shoulders, then tak-
ing out a ten -dollar n;te, handed it
to the half-breed, whose eyes gleam-
ed as he took it. "Now," he con-
tinued, "shoulder your canoe, and
come along to the river. I should
like to see you start. I'll carry your
gun, and that' sack of yours." •
He took the half-breed's gun, pick-
ed up, the •beans, and in single file
they marched through the wood bac
to where the Indian 'sat patientl

Ainley rapidly explained the situa- t
tion, and the Indian listened without. pif
comment. He waited until the half- to
breed was actually afloat- and out of
ear -shot, and • then he spoke.
"Bad man!" he said. "No good.

stark fear looked out of Ainley's eyes'

covered himself and broke into harsh
laughter.,
"You think? Then you think
wrong, and I wouldn't say that again

off as a flash of fear manifested it-

smiled maliciously. "I see you do not

"Oui, I know," assented the man
quickly.
"Then unless you want to land in

A thoughtful look came in the half

sought the canoe lying at his feet.

outside of it, and instantly guessed
who had occupied the tent. •

cry made an attempt to move. As
he did so sharp pains assailed him,
and forced a groan from his lips.
"Oh!" cried the, girl. "You must
'lie still, Mr. Stane.' I am afraid you
are rather. badly hurt, indeed I
thought you were killed. I am going
to do what I cant for you, now that
I know that you are not. Your leg
is I -Broken, I think, and you have other
injuries; but that is most serious, and
I must manage to set it, somehow."
"To set it-" he began and broke
off.
"Yes! I am afraid I shall not prove
a very efficient surgeon; but I will do
my best. I hold the St. John's Am-
bulance medal, so you might be worse
off," she said, with a wan• smile.
"Much," he agreed.
:"Now that you are conscious I am
going to leave 'you for a few minutes.

tolerably. Lying as he was on the
flat of his back, he couldn't see the
leg, and desiring to do so he made a
great effort and sat up. As he did
so he groaned heavily, and inconti-
nently fainted.
He was still unconscious when the
girl returned, and after one quick look
of alarm she nodded to herself. "A
faint," she whispered. "Perhaps it is
just as well."
With a knife she ripped the breech. .,

the aid of moss and, a 'blanket, to-
gether with the rough splints she had
cut, she made a shift to set the
broken leg. Twice during the opera-

heavily and passed into unconscious-

About Readers and Writers
of Advertisements.
•
IT'S A VERY old story -the story of the man who put in a great
daily newspaper an inconspicuous 2 -line advertisement as fol-
lows:
Cats Wanted. --$1.00 each, before 9;
a.n1. 16 Major Street.
He put in this advertisement to prove to a doubting friend
that the public reads advertisements.
You can imagine the doubter's consternation when he saw
next morning a streetful of men, women and'children, each with
a cat.
WHATEVER you yourself may `do,
in regard to the reading of advertise-
ments, keow this: Everything print-
ed in a newspaper gets read, and
there are many who read every line -
news matter and advertisemetits-
those with lots of time and curios-
:ty.
The company or firm with some-
thing to sell - something which
thousands of persons can buy -
wouldn't be very wise if it pub-
lished an inconspicuous advertise-
ment. The right thing for it to do
is to crash in on your attentionby
publishing an advertisement winch
eierybody is likely to see.
Its job is to make you -a normal
n an or woman - see its ads ertise-
iment and to make it so interesting
that you'll read it. Then the adver-
tisement must be persuasive. Also,
it should incite you to take action.
OF COURSE, some advertisements
-those of local retailers -may, quite
properly, give prominence to prices.
Their job maybe to direct you, rather
than to inform or persuade you; and
to stir y'ou up to quick action.
•
The writing, designing and illus-
trattfrg of advertisements nitended
to capture attention, intrigue inter-
est, convey inforriration, be convinc-e
ing, breed desire for what is ad-
ertised, and incite the reader to
purchase are highly specialized jobs.
IF YOU want to know how difficult is the job of writing an
advertisement which would get 1'00 marks from a competent
judge, try to write one -about a vacuum cleaner, a motor car, a•
writing ink, a child's shoe, or anything else, limiting yourself to
300 words or less. '
