He slumped in a chair,
tion out of him.
"I can't go; Sis."
"You've got to go. Why not?"
"I can't go and leave you here,
alone."
"Dick's here."
"A sick man. Liable to be sick
for two or three weeks."
"That's nonsense. I can take
care of myself. It's better for
some one to be here when that
Mountie arrives. I may be able
to throw him off the track.
"If you can, you're a wonder.
I wonder who tipped • them off.
I think Nipegosis has Indians see-
ing 'him now and then. It's no use
figuring. You're sure you'll be all
right?"
"Sure. But hurry."
"That breaks up my ohailces for
seeing Kinoceti."
"Will, you've got to go, It will
come out all right. They can't
hang an innocent man.
He managed a grin.
"Can't they? They do."
He got busy, Marion helping
him, loading his sled. The dogs
were still eager to go. At last he
was ready. He kissed his sister.
She was listening, looking, dread-
ing to see a figure materialize out
of the night. Will was right. The
Mounties were hard to fool. They
got their men.
"Listen, Kid,

"Will, don't
Please,, go!"
"I'm off, but I don't know if I'm
wise in leaving you " two without
a chaperon." His voice lost its
bantering as he took her in his
arms. "You're a good sport, Mar-
ion. I hope I'll find a girl like you
for myself some day."
He swung his whip, the lash
cracked as he leaped to the back
of the sled, holding on to the
gee -pole, waving an arm in fare-
well. She watched him until he
vanished. Reckless and light-
hearted, Will had got himself in-
to other troubles before this last
terrible one, but it did not seem
possible he could have committed
murder. But it was more than
possible he might be convicted of
that crime.
Back in the house she looked at
the unconscious Dick Byrne, ten-
derly. She was not at all sure she
loved him, But she liked him. He
had brought through the niessage.
She saw a scrap of folded paper
that Will had found when they
got his clothes off, and they had
forgotten. She read it now:

TO NIPEGOSIS
By the hand of Dick Byrne
"Now what the devil?" he •mut-
tered, then thrust it into his mack-
inaw. Dick Byrne •might know
what it was all about. The im-
portant thing was to get him to
the cabin.
The dogs ran with a will. There
would be more meat when they
got back.
And it was a fine night for
swift going, It was not until they
had worked long over Byrne,
dressed his leg wound, got the
frostbite beaten, that Will remem-
bered the message.
Byrne was moaning from the
pain of restoring circulation, but
he was still unconscious.
"You'd better take this over to
the Conjuror, Sisr ho said. "Dick's
lost a lot of blood. He may not
come to for hours. This may be
important, though you'll have to
read it for Nipegosis unless the
old man has used, Indian script.
In the meantime, I'll look out for
Dick."
"I won't be long," she said.
She was not. She was back in-
side of ten minutes, saying noth-
ing, holding out the opened com-
munication to her brother who
took it with a look of surprise at
her face.
To either of you two who'op-
en this, the R.C.M.P. know
Will is in White Rock. They
are coming after him. There
is a reward of a thousand dol-
lars. I knew it first and send,
this by a sure messenger who
knows nothing of its contents.
Nor has need to. You can
trust Nipegosis. Get away at
once.

"He warned you!" cried the girl.
"Like hell he did!" said Will
bitterly. "For his own good. For
the same reason he didn't inter-
fere with our getaway from Bison
Crossing. It's not that he'd mind
seeing me doing time, or even go
to the gallows, but he'd hate to
,have a nephew of his do a stretch
or swing, because it would hurt
the MacLeod reputation and might
spoil his business. He wouldn't
turn a finger. to help me on my
own account."
"You're hard, Will. You don't
judge him fairly."
"I'll give him this much credit.
He's handed out a good tip. S
hoped we could stay hidden out
till spring when the Indians come
in. The man I'm after is almost
certain to land in White Rock.
I've got a hunch he's not so far
off now."
"You mean Peace River, Jack?"
"That's the bird," said Will
MacLeod grimly. "He's got an.
Indian name, the mongrel, Kin-
oceti. I want to have a talk with
him. He owed Regnier a lot of
money and Regnier had shut off
his credit. Why wouldn't he have
killed Regnier? He'd usea knife.
I don't -that way. He beat it out
of town,too, though the old man
had promised shim a good job
stringing snowshoes. Why didn't
they suspect him?"
"You didn't think of him your-
self in the beginning, Will. And
it was your knife. It's no good to
accuse Kinoceti without proof."
"I'll prove it, if I have to shake
it out of him. He could have
stolen my knife, been slick enough
to throw the blame on me. He
used to hang around Fawn too. I
was nice to that kid, but she was
dead straight if she was a quarter -
breed. Regnier was jealous of me
for no , reason. Kinoceti might
have been. One thing's pretty sure.
If any Indian or breed did it Nipe-
gosis• will know, if we could only
get him to talk. It doesn't look
like there's much chance of him
giving away one of his own race,
though," he finished despondent-
ly.
"You've got to go, Will, at once.
We don't know how long Dick may
have been on the trail. The

With Butter
'fluttered Bait Bags Bachelor"
The dairy cow is a queer old gal,
• A :Mystery to everyone;
She turn green grass to Creamy
milk,
We know not how 'tis done.
The creamy milk is rather strange,
A wholesome drink, but swell; -
And yet it makes Limburger cheese
"Good Heavens," what a smell!
The milk we drink would float a
ship,
Someone was heard to utter,
That half the milk that our cows
give,
Is made up into butter.
And butter has its strange pdints
-too,
I know you'll think th1 pueer-
One time it changed a mans whole
life,
And Made hire say: "Yes, dear."
A girl at matrimonial age,
Admired a man quite 'tall;
She baked him cakes and cookies,
too,
But still he did not fall.
So grandma came to the young
girl's aid,
As all good grandmas do;
"Use butter in your baking, dear,
And see if that helps you."
She baked a cake as grandma said,
And, oh! how swell it looked!
She gave it to her friend that night,
He ate, and was hooked.
And then they tied the nuptial
knot, -
And were happy as could be;
She baked with butter, as grandma
said,
It helped a lot, you see.
Alexander MacLeod. Five
hundred dollars.
Richard A. Byrne.
She did not understand it. She
got the money belt and put it
away. It seemed to back up her
feeling that Will judged his uncle
too hard. But that did not mend
matters.
There was a thousand -dollar re-
ward out' for Will. Some one had
betrayed them to the Mounted. She
must handle the trooper when he
came.
She stood there frowning, gaz-
ing at Byrne's wan features, film-
ed with a three -days' beard. He
stirred a little, murmured some-
thing. He was coming back to his
senses. She laid a hand on his
forehead, spoke to him soothing-
ly.
Inspiration came to her. She
would go back to Nipegosis, ask
him to help her. There was no
need to speak of Peace River
Jack, or Kinoceti, as he was call-
ed by his Indian name. But -if,
Nipegosis would give her what
she wanted, what she knew he
possessed . ,
She closed the cabin door and
ran fast over the Slippery crust
to the Conjuror's house.
Well as Dick Byrne had done
fast as the cunning Kinoceti had
trailed, O'Rourke of the Mounted
had bested them. He was still be-
hind, but he had caught up many
miles: He expected to cross the
finish line tomorrow. Early. He
suspected some man was ahead,
sent by MacLeod, though he did
not enter Kinoceti into his calcu-
lations. He had beaten his own
records.
It was dawn and he was up and
ready. He broke off a tip of hem-

chinook wind was threatening. It
did not matter, once he got his
man.
But there were other elements
against which he might not fight
as he did against the wind and the
frost and the thaw.
He barely remembered Will
MacLeod. He had his description
with him. He had. conducted the
preliminary examinations on the
murder of Jacques Regnier. He
was out now, as a sergeant of the
R.C.M.P. to land the murderer.
And, there was Marion Mac-
Leod!
Marion MacLeod, in a white
gown as he had danced with her
at Spruce City, visioned her a
thousand times since, saw her
now in the dull smoke of his fail-
ing fire. He had dreamed of her,
told himself he was, foolish. What
had a Mountie to do with a sweet-
heart?
Yet she had gripped his heart -
she gripped it now -and he was
swor4to take her brother, to de-
liver him to a stern and unrelent-
ing justice which believed him
guilty of murder, according to the
explicit evidence.
He sized up the immediate wea-
ther and forged on. He did not
pass the spot where Dick Byrne
had made camp, but slanted on a
tangent, humoring the wind but
fighting it. He crossed Elk River,
saw the abandoned cabins of
White Rock. There was smoke
coming from the chimneys of two
of them. One was that of Nipe-
gosis. It had been described to
hint. The other
Sergeant O'Rourke had an idea
that Marion MacLeod had been
expecting him, Officially, not per-
sonally. There was no friendly
greeting in her eyes. But she ex-
pressed no surprise at seeing him.
He remembered that, later.

First, the fruit is heated just to

Farming
The last five yfars have been
the most prosperous in Can-
ada's history. Good markets
and good prices for farm pro-
ducts have given great agri-
cultural prosperity.
Farmers have had the incen-
tive and means to buy goods
and services in large volume
and this has helped to create
more jobs at better wages in
industrial areas.
New and better machines have
made it possible for fewer
farmers to produce more in
less time with less work and
at less cost than ever before.

power farming machines offer
the latest developments in
equipment designed and built
for modern farming.
