"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, stuck on you. about It?" "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: ti CHASTER VI SyrtVOs When Will MacLeod was un- it -tatty accuseds of, murder he and his'sister, fid to White Rock.

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.

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.

The creamy milk is rather strange, A wholesome drink, but swell; - And yet it makes Limburger cheese "Good Heavens," what a smell!

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- i THE McKILLOP MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO'Y. HEAD OFFICE-SEAFORTH, Ont. OFFICERS: President, E. J. Trewartha, Clinton Vice -Pres. - J. L.

Spring was on the way. A 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. (Continued Next Week) 1 Was Nearly Crazy With Fiery Itch Edit I discovered Dr. D. D. Dennis' amazing-, if tut relief -II. D.

Apricot, Peach andPruneNectars Very attractive and flavorful beverages can be prepared from well colored, ripe apricots, peach- es and fresh prunes. Sound fruit which is too ripe to make a good canned or frozen product may still be made into a delicious drink. First, the fruit is heated just to belling and pulped with- only sue ficeent water added at the start to pr vent burning. It is then pureed by passing through an extractor, sieve, screen, or colander to re- move pits, fibre and skins.
