CHAPTER XXVII.
The battle was short thereafter.
Harold was never a match for Bill.
The latter's hard fists lashed into his
face, blow after blow with grim re-
ports in the silence. Harold's resist-
ance ceased; hisbody quivered and lay
still. Remembering Virginia, Bill
leaped to his feet.
But Harold was not quite uncon-
scious. But one impulse was left—
to escape, and dumbly he crawled to
the. door. "
No weapon remained ,in his hand,
"I'll get you yet, you devil!" he
screamed, almost incoherently. "Ph1
lay inwait and kill yon—you can't
get away!"
And out he staggered.
"Virginia," Bill called. "Where are
you?"
From the dark, far end of the cabin

from the Lips of a sick child. "Here

chased. But before he struck the match he
remembered his foe without; he would
be quick t. fire through the window
if a light showed him his target.
Even now he might be crouched in
the snow, nis rifle in his arms, wait-
ing for just this chance.
Bill snatched n blanket from the
cot, shielded them with it, and lighted
the match behind it.
"He can't see the `light through
this," he told her.
He groped for the fallen candle,
lighted it, and held it close, "You'll
have to look and see yourself, Vir-
ginia," he told her. "You remember—
of course—"
Yes, she remembered his blindness
She looked down at the little stain of
red on her left shoulder.
"I can't tall," she told him. "It
went in right here—give me your
hand."
She' took his warn hand and rested
it against the wound: Someway, it
comforted her. "Close to the top of
the shoulder, then," he commented.
"But there's nothing I can do—it's not
a wound I can dress. It's cleaner now
than anything we've got to clean it
with. The only thing is to lie still—
er/ it won't bleed."
'Do you think I'll die?" she asked
him quietly.
"I don't think the wound is serious
in itself—if we could get you down
to a doctor," he told her. "It isn't
bleeding much now, because you are
lying still, but it has been bleeding
pretty freely. It's just a flesh wound,
really. But you see—"
Her mind leaped at once to his
thought, "You mean --it's the same,
either way?" she questioned.
"11 means death—that's all it
means. I don't care on my own ac-
count—"
"Then don't a are on mine, either."
All at once =her hand went up and
caressed his face. 'Hold me, Bill, won't
you?" she asked, "Hold me in your
arms?"
The man's arms tightened around
her. Ile lowered his lips close to hem.
"I love you."
She drew his head down and down
until her own lips halted the flow of
his words. "And I love you, Bill," she
But her thoughts had been busy,
even in this moment. All at once she
drew his tar close to her lips,
"Bill, will you listen to mea min-
ute?" she asked.
"Listen! P11 listen to every word."
told him, "No le but you."
Only once during the night did Bill
leave het—to cover the crack of the
door and build up the fire. When he
returned, ,her warm little flood of
kisses was as if he had been absent
for weary hours,
l
"I think I know the way—at least
a fighting chance—to life and safety."
CHAPTER XXVIII.

"Everything depends first," Vir-
ginia said, "whether or not youcan
crawl through the little window of the
cabin."
Bill remembered his experience iu
the smoke-filled hut and he kissed her,
whispering. that would be easy.
"The next thing—are Harold's
snowshoes in this room?" -

Lone, he'll come—not only to get his
snowshoes, but to gloat over me I

why I didn't know him before. And
then—we've got to take him by sur-

"And thea—?"
Quickly, withfew words, she told
hint the rest of her ,21ot.
Harold walked into the trap set by
Virginia.
"I'tn coming for my snowshoes, Vir.
ginia," he told her. "Then I'm going
to go away." He tried to draw his
battered, bloody lips into a smile.
"Come in and get then," she replie.i.
Her voice was low and Iifeless. Har-
old stepped through the door. And
then she uttered a curious cry:-
"Now!"
ry-"Now!" she called sharply. There
was no time for Harold to dart back,
even to be alarmed. A. mighty force
descended upon his body.
In less than a minute he was bound.
helpless.
"What 'are you going to do with
me?" lax asked.
"Why, Harold, yot are to be our
little truck horse," Virgin:a replied,
as she handed Bill more thongs. "You
are going to pub he sled and show
the way down into'Bradleyburg,"
CHAPTER X.XIX.
When the dawn came *full and
bright over Clearwater, Bill and his
party were ready to start.
Wh.n Harold had ben thoroughly
cowed and his full instructions given
him, the thongs had been put about his
ankles and removed from his wrists,
and he was permitter' to do the pack-
ing,
That procedare was exceedingly
simple; all available blankets were
piled on the sled and made into:a bed
for Virginia, and the ax, candles, and
such cooking utensils as were needed
were packed in front. And then they
had a short but decisive interview with
Harold.
"I won't go—I'll die first," he cried
to Virginia. "Besides, you don't dare
to use force on me; you don't know
the way and Bill can't see. You know
if you kill me you'll dje yourself."
"Fair enough," Virginia replied
sweetly. "But take just this little
word of advice. Bill and I were all
reconciled to dying when we thought
of you—and we won't mind it now if
we're sure you are going along. And
Bili will tellyou that I. can shoot
straight, Perhaps you Iearned that
fact last night."
They lengthened the thong that tied
his ankles together, giving him room
for a full walking stet' but not enough
to leap or run.
They put on his hands a pair of
awkward mittens that had been stiff-
ened by mud and water, and lashed
them to his wrists.
Then they slipped the thong of the'
sled across his shsulder and under his
arms Iike the loops of a kyack. They
were ready to go.
"I haven't much hope," Bill told
Virginia .when she was tucked into
the bed on the sled. "But it's the only
chance we have."
She smiled at him. "At Ieast, Bill,
we'll have done everything we could.
Goodby, little cabin—where I found
happiness. Sotnetimes, perhaps, we'll
come back to you!"
The than bent and kissed her, and
she gave the word for Harold to start.

At the end of three bitter days, Bill
-Bronson stood once more on the hill
that looked down upon Braclleyburg.
The twilight was growing in the glen
beneath; already it had..cast shadows
in Virginia's eyes. She sat beside
him on the sled.
It had been cruel hardship, the three
days' journey. But fortune had played
thein well in this --they' had found the
food osper abandoned
Virginia was on the rapid road to-
ward recovery from her wound. It
had not been severe; while she was
lying still on the sled it had had every
chance to heal. •
Bill's sight,had'grown steadily bet-
ter as the days had passed; already
the Spirits of )Vferey had permitted
hien, at close range, to behold Virgin-
ia's face.

approached the first fringe of the

Bill felt wholly able to follow the
broad snowshoe track the. half -mile
farther into town. The footsteps of
tho rnoi had' grown faint and died
away—and Virginia and he were lett
together' -on the hill.
They saw. the church spire, tall and
ghostly in the twilight, and Bill's
strong arms pressed the girl close. She
understood and smiled happily,
"Of course, Bill," she told him.

buttons, and attachments and tie them
securely in a piece of canvas.Fasten
the bundle 10 the handle of one of the
screen doers.
"See that each screen is marked

to cut a Roman numeral in the edge
of each screen witha hall inch wide

marked. Another method is to ob-
tain metallic number tacks, which may

ware store. Even marking the bot-
tom of each screen with a heavy col.
Dred marking crayon will serve as a
makeshift.
"When the screens are down, brush
them well outdoors. While doing
this; note carefully whether any of
the screens, if covered with paint or
galvanized wire, have a brown or
slightly rusty look. These should be
placed at one side for painting at the
earliest opportunity; the wire may
be past service if left until Bring.
"Asphaltum varnish thinned with
turpentine may be used for painting

it black, fe very easy to use,, especial-
ly if applied with a small piece of
close•grained sponge instead of a
brush. This mixture eau be used on
galvanized screening one year, and
spar varnish thinned with turpentine
can be applied the following year, and
so on through the life of the wire.
With bronze and copper screening,
this labor is saved."
Now' to come to the important para-
graphs on mending holes:
"If any tears or holes are seen,
they may be repaired by sewing a
neat patch through and- through with
a piece of the screen wire.

Is Felt -Padded
When Primo Carnera stepped int41
the ring to face Godfrey, tate giant
negro fighter, the other day, the
roped "ring" groaned under a tot
weight of thirty-six stones. It has
to be specially etrengthened for tba
occasion!
There is quite an art in ring eon.
stfucticn. The arenas used to the
big lights ale usually on a frame ett
steel beams, set a good distance apart
from each outer to make the floor
springy,
But they are strong, too,' sturdy en-
ough to bear not only two Carnera-
sized men, bat enough people to oc-
cupy every foot of the floor space{,
This strain is carefully worked out.
The reason for it really only ape
plies to American arenas, where excit-
able fight fans sometimes invade lite
ring and stage a free fight when the
referee's verdict displeases them.
Taking the Bump
On top of the steel frame is ibo
board Iloor, covered with canvas; but
so that even Camera could not in-
jure himself seriously by Bitting it
at high speed, an American ring
builder, who has a big factory near
New York, invented a felt pad with
pneumatic pockets to go trader the
floor canvas. This tapes the worst
of the bump.
The corner Pests are braced with'
steel wires, and if you look closely
at the ropes, you 07111 see that they
are swuaig in a rather curious ivay.
The bottom rope Is set back from the
top two by au incl' or so.
This gives a fighter who has been
rushed against the roles a little
extra room Por his "rear" leg, and
saves him from .overbalaueiug and
falling through the ropes,
The man Who invented the shook
absorber pad also devised a special
water -bucket and stool for the Sec-
onds in the corner, Tltey clamp en
to the ring-ppst and can be swung
in and out of the ring easily, saving
precious time by doing away with the
awkward tm buck' and wooden stool,
and giving a tired fighter a few extra
seconds to breathing space. -•Answers.

Final Orders
The manager of a big business was
questioning a rrospective employee.
"What were you employed at last?"
he asked.
"I was a commercial traveller," re-
plied the young ,non.
!`Commercial traveller, eh," remark-
ed the manager. "Did you get many
orders?"
"Orders," echoed the other, "wiry,
yes, sir, I got two very' important
orders on my first day."
"That was encouraging," supple-
mented the manager. "What were
they?"
"let out and s' -ay out," ---Answers.
