Maitland, son of a Now England seafaring family, and- the hardened gambler, Speed Malone, met on a trip north to the Yukon gold fields in '87, when word of the rich ores there first canie down the Pacific coast. Maitland was determined to win back his lost fortune before he returned home., The two men becamepartners, Speed. promising not to get tangled with the Taw if he coild help it, and to clear out from the partnership if he did. Frenchy, the fisherman whose smack took the two men north; Lucky Rose, the beautiful girl who had given a ring to Maitland as a keep•eake; Fal- lon, camp leader, resentful of Rose's attention to Maitland;- Steiner,' the money lender;' young Pete and his drunken partner Bill Owens; Brent, -old-time .prospector,; Garnet; well-to- do traveller who hired Maitland and, Speed to take his things over the mountains --these are the principal. figures in the story: Malone, Mait- lend and Garnet hauled part of his stuff frons the canvas camp on the Skagway 'beach over the -trail to the, camp in the hills called Lievsvilie. Speed was made trail boss in Fallen's place, becauee Speed insisted on dos- ing the trail till it could be' repaired - it was almost impassable; But the. fickle crowd veered back to Pally. -Speed and Maitland took a stand a- bove the pass': to keep the miners from breaking through. : Pete came to offer his help, but Speed refused it and the boy, after saying his partner had been drowned after a drunken brawl, rode •off. But he took a posi- tion where he could fire on the min- ers when they tried to rush the pass, and so, helped Speed. Later, Brent, with an old deer gun, added his help. Just when Speed seemed, to be gam- ing the upper. hand, Fallon called his men with an exultant shout. . A cavalcade was coming down the trail. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "By ginger!" cried Speed. "It's Brenta deer gun. And ain't she a- talkin'!" At this pointthere was a 'wavering in the rear of the crowd. A hum ran electrically down the pack train, and Fallon summoned back his nein with an exultant shout. The crowd spread out to give way to a cavalcade com- ing down the trail. "Soldiers?" Maitland asked in won- der, TIME TABLE :Trains will arrive at and, depart from Cl eton as follows: 'Buffalo and. Goderich Div. /Going East, depart '7.08 a.m. Going East, depart 3.00 pan.

What shall we do?" 'After carefully considering the mat- ter, the firm dispatched the follow- -sing reply; "Search his pockets for orders." "You can cal; 'em soldiers," was Speed's grim answer. "They're the crack trailsmen of the cop kingdom and a hard-shootin' outfit. The simple name they goes by is the Royal Can- adian Northwest Mounted Police" This detachment was the first of the reinforcements sent into the Ye- kon under the order from Major Walsh to police the gold rush. They were passing over American ground and their authority did not begin un- til they crossed the Canadians line at the 'summit of the pass, but its extent was not a 'question in the minds of. any of the onlookers.. Cheering and jubilant, Fallon's out- fit got ready to parade through be- hind them, never doubting that Speed's hand had been called. "When I made that bet about the "Would it he all right if we fixed the bridge?" asked Inspector Drew. won't be too good." He wrung Tits partner's hand in a tight grip. Then as remonstrance -froze on Maitland's lips, he leaped aver the rock corral and slid down into the frail, with both guns drawn, the red bandage gone from his hoed, The police captain halted his troop within ,a few yards of his surprising challenger, while the crowd banked up curiously behind. ("Gents," said Speed politely, "the trail's barred. A pair of level eyes covered him in a cool, impersonal • study. "Barred till when? ' There was the merest hint of irony in the velvet casualness of the officer's tone; "Until I'm downed where I ,stand, or a pack of quitters standin' back of ye does some chores on it." Inspector Drew owned his com- mand to -certain •gilts of understand- ing which had not been idle on his way'from Skagway. His eyes wrink- led thoughtfully, and then with a slow gleam of humor, heaskedsur- prising question. "Would it be all right', so far as my men are concerned, if we fixed the bridge?" • "By jingo, mister,"said the outlaw blankly, "if you mean what that lis- tens like, you sure take my money. But we couldn't leave ye do it." "Doesn't natter," -Drew replied "Bridges are in my liner' He dis- mounted and ave an order to his men, who unlimbered some- axes and. ether tools and when down to the bridge. bridge," muttered Speed, "I plumb, forgot to leave out the Northwest.

"' "You're mall" Maitland cried, re- fusing to move, "You can't challenge their riebt of way!" ,I„ d.r ther be tegged by the range ers than see that bunch of sure -thing gamblers )nerd through behind 'em. It means checkin' in to a man-size out- fit. Will you go?"' For an instant Maitland thought of trying to hold him by force, bat something primal and absolute in his decision prevented. The police squad- ron was now winthin yards of the'' turn of the defile into the creek.cae- yo'n. ' "I can't, wait to argue with ye, my boy," said the outlaw abruptly. "Ali I can say is, I'm wishin' ye a better run of luck than you've had. The best Speed made les partner sit down to rest in the shadow of a rock near the creek. Then he returned to Fa; - Ion who stood sombrely quiet under Brent's guard, and told the old trails man to lower his gun. "You owe me a thousand dollars, Fallon," he said soberly, when the deposed camp boss was uncovered: Fallon drew out a wallet and count- ed ever the amount. "Give him his six-shooters, Brent," said Speed, This was done. "The trail's fixed," Speed explained, "and. I resign all claims to the jells of trail boss. We're talkin' level. I don't aim to tangle with the ranger's law after we crass the summit, But where we stand there ain't no law between you and me and the sky. We don't even know that it's Alaskan ground. You'- ve got a bad arm, so I'll discard my beat 'gun, and we'll settle the feud right here." "We'll settle it when I've got both hands limber," said Fallon, grimly, as the train, now in movement again, wound slowly by. Brent back -trailed toward Lion- ville with the partners,'Maitland felt weak from reaction to the scenes of blood which the other two had ac- cepted So lightly. He was troubled in another way about Garnet's haul- ing job, This anxiety was relieved, howev- er, in an unimagined way. When they reached the cache, they found that Garnet was gone. A. note attached to tine of the packs advised them that he had left Alaska, deferring his trip to Dawson till • the following spring, when -he had learned --steam- ers would be running up the Ynitoe. The note, dated two days before, as- signed them his outfit and the hoe- seg, free of all claims. It was windy dusk when they enns erged from the river canyon and look- ed crown on an astonishing apparition of 'canvas above the Skagway beach. A tent city had taken shape in their brief absence—a mushroom town of illuminated mushrooms, glowing in the mist and -lit by kerosene .flares that sputtered garishly in the wincl. Thrbugh' misted darkness, the camp lights defined a twisted main street whose course had been determined •by the aeeidental camp sites of the first comers. 'Avoiding this, the two partners de- toured around to the quieter section wherethey had left the unmoved part of : Garnet's .outfit. The spot was hard to locate in the maze of tents, and when they did find it, there was no sign either ofthe cache or the horses. i'I'11 skin thethievin' polecat who done this," Speed announced in a voice that carried over a wide area. Though the neighboring tents •seemed'empty, a man appeared noise- lessly in answer tohis challenge. from one of the canvas lanes. Ii'e wore a dark suit of eccentric but studied fashion; with the collar of th•e jacket upturned, soft-soled.shin- ing shoes, and a black dicer hat. "D -did you 1 -1 -lose .somethin'?" he inquired. • "A team of horses and a pack," said Speed. "Don't get nervous.

Maitland caught. his breath. Neither he nor Speed, who regarded,her with a brooding stare, had guessed how beautiful she was,. or how her gypsy grate could bo heightened by light and color. ' She was immaculate which some women of the mining camps were not. She drew up before the outlaw with a whhnisical look. Her voice was a rich overtone to the dreaming strings. "I heard you were looking for horses." "We was goin' to pay your cante- en," Speed said. "'We'd just as leave pay you and take it out of his hide. She smiled. a little, at the infl'eetion his anger had betrayed hint into. "Lefty isn't much of a eerie -on, He doesn't know what it's all about.

"Itwould be simpler for you, may'- be, if Fallon was as dead as Owens?'" -She did not answer: the reference to Owens. "I'd a lot rather it was Fa- ton than either •of you," she said. "We have that nsuoh un common." .Speed shook his head at her grave. ly: "I begin to feel sorry for this man, Fallon.'And him figurin' all the time you'rehis friend."

But I've no reason to be his friend. Less than ever now." A deeper shadow eros - sed her face, . and she added, with a vibrant fall in' her tone. "It would have been simpler, as you say, if you'd killed him." The restivi{;y of the outlaw slipped its rein: "Whatever Fallon may be, ' We, don't need a Woman's help to ,fight him: Do we ge hunt those hor- ses, or will you'say where they are and what'we owe you for your troub- sle?' one Bud."

Third Form- ers were not in their usual form and have missed their practising. Second Form on the other hand, were right on tip -too and for a while had a six- point lead. All three of Third Form's forwards did well, the scoring being very even. Norma Cook scored. 4, Helen Rumball 5, and Cora Streets 6. The guards were excellent es- pecially Faye Lindsay. For Second Form, Margaret Heard played a re- markable game, tying for high score with C. Streets with six' baskets. K. Cuninghame scored two baskets, and M. 11Lurch- two. K. Guninghame who played guard apd forward half- time showed tap well as a guard. The game was exceptionally rough, both Norma, Cook and Doris Niekle being put off for three personal fouls. The final score was very close 29-21 for .Third Form. Line -up --Second Form.: Forwards', M. Heard, M. Middleton, K. 'Cuning- hame; sub, M. Murch; guards, W. Cluff, P. Iluniting, D. pickle.

However in Goderich they met a mixed Junior -Senior team, and although they put 'up a ,good fight, the other team was able to hold teem. down. The final score stood 18-17' in favour of Goderich, and although the boys were disap- vened, "through -that door. You might live to think better of me if you listen to -what I tell you now, When you leave camp, go through the tent lanes -the way you came. Don't follow the street, and specially keep clear of The Pack Train saloon. You're on the watch for Fallon, but sometimes' the danger you don't look for is the worst... My guesses have a way of coming true." Speed moved toward the door at the rear of the tent. He pulled it open revealing a clear space of grav- el between it and the next enclosure. The light fell on the pintos, held by the man with the black dicer. "Get out of my range," Speed growled, "before I push you over." And waiting till the man had van ished, he pulled the team into mo- tion. (Continued Next Week) ' pointed in not being, able to ,tie o, n a one -point lead, we are sure the next game will tell another story, Al- though the Goderich line-up was not obtained, the 'Clinton lin-up is , as, follows—Forwards: G.

The game was. well attended by students from both Collegiates and excitement ran high before the action started. The teams were very closely -match- ed and both were determined to win, Goderich had only a one -point lead on which to play from the last game, but they were out to win the title, and the spectators were kept in an agony of suspense from beginning to end The final score, which stood 19- 12 in favour of Clinton showed that the hone team was superior. Both teams played excellent basketball and the checking was hard and fast: Tho stars for the Goderich team were Bisset, Strauglian and Green and for, the Clinton boys, Campbell, Grif- fiths and Hovey played brillliantly.
