Sir Charles Guthrie, his bro- ther, is a millionaire war profiteer. CHAPTER A TER II.—With Etienne Sav- anne, hafbreed, his firm friend, Garth meets Doctor Quarrier, geologist, and his sister Joan. Their schooner has drifted ashore. Quarrier complains he has been robbed by a man known as I"Laughing McDonald" or to the Ind- ians as "McDonald Ha!

He takes the Quarr to Albany, from whence they can p ceed to Montreal. Charles Gut writes reproaching his brother for coming home. Charles' wife assn him Ethel still loves. him, but Ga n his heart knows better. His sc red face has separated them, CHAPTER IV—Three of McD Id's party visit Elkwan seeking buy gun shells. From them Ga earns of evil talk among the Indi oncerning him and Ninda, and re zes Quarrier will spread his versi f the affair. Chapter V.—With Etienne's h arth wins the friendship of S ouci, "medicine man" and tre hief of the Crees, and gets his p ise to persuade the Crees to to heir furs to Elkwan instead of to M onald. Garth is ambushed by Joe okoman, Ninda's reputed father, hom the factor had driven from Elkwan. "Shot" Garth's airedale corn - anion on many battlefields in Franc s es him, and the Indian is taken, p isoner, to Elkwan.

At the mission the paths met, and Guthrie turned with a "good evening," as the woman in the fur capote came abreast, to gasp, with a furiously pounding heart, as he look- ed into the laughing' eyes of Joan Quarrier . "You! Here?" he exclaimed, gazing at the uplifted hood as if at a ghost. "Welcome me to Albany, Mr. Exile," " i e, she cried, extending a mittened hand. "I've just left Mrs. Cameron, and knew of your arrival with that fabu- lous amount of fur. Congratulations on your defeat of Laughing McDon- ald." "You—wintering at Albany," he continued, "and you never told me!' The color rose to the dark hair on om- i hen forehead. "I found a job, You kwan see they needed a nurse terribly, at osis the school." Her eyes avoided his d, is searching look now.. "My brother re - a is turns in the spring, so I decided to re- wait for him here." ares "But when I left, you were leaving in a day or two for Moose," he relent- oan lessly persisted. "And you wrote my nce Christmas letter and never told me iers you were only ninety miles away," he ro- added repraochfully. hrie "I—I couldn't interfere with the— not your fight for the fox trade," she re - res plied weakly. rth "Well, the fact is, Miss Joan Quar- ar Fier," he said with a laugh, "that you're here at Albany, and I'm at AI- on- bany, and I hereby announce that I'm to going to stay a day, or two, or three, rth and talk to you." axis "I'm sure," she said with a low bow al- "that you are most flattering. But on you forget that my employer, Mr. Swan does not approve of you, sir." elp "All the worse for Swan, then, for aul I'm going to see you tomorrow morn- aty ing, afternoon, and evening, Swan or ro- no Swan, I am a masterful man and ke will have my way. What time tonight c- do I knock on the door of the Rev- erend Swan?" With all his eyes Garth was caressing the face which had come to him by the fire in the snow, followed him over the tundra of Aid- e, miski, companioned his dreams. The a miracle of her being here—to talk to— look at, when he had thought her n south across the forests! And why had she stayed in on the dreary north? "I think you could come up to- night:" Joan's teeth flashed in an al- luring smile: "I'll try to reconcile Mr. Swan to the bitter dose of your pres- ence. He needs me here, you know— finds my experience valuable." a 1 c 0 G S c m D M w p av r Alpo, ELETRO-THERAPY Hours: 2-5, 7-8., or by appointment. Phone apz. D. H.

At a "pow -wow" held by his orders Souci convinces the Indians that McDonald is the friend of demons and to be a- voided.

He was approaching the mission when a fur -hooded figure of a woman passed him at a short dis- tance on a parrailel path. The' face in the hood was turned from him but the swinging stride of the'moccasined feed aroused his curiosity. The white women residents of the post could be counted on the fingers of a hand, It fused Removing his mitten, with a quick movement Garth slipped off the mit- ten of the surprised girl and took her hand. "I need you here," he said, "as well as Swan. Eight o'clock tonight." And walked swiftly away, mad hope in his brain, his emotions out of hand. Why had she styed? Why had she stayed? he kept asking himself as he hurried to Cameron's house. At supper at the Camerons' .Guthrie said:. "I met an old friend on the clearing tonight." The kindly eyes of the factor's wife grew quizzical as they met the glance of her guest, "She was here when Etienne came to the kitchen and told is of your success. What did you do to that girl last September? She and I have talked a lot about you this winter," Guthrie's heart warmed to the infer- ence. He felt the blood in his face, and strove to cover his embarrass- ment with the question. "How did she come to stay and help that effigy of a man, Swan." Mrs. Cameron smiled. "They were dreadfully in need of some one who had training. Half the children had some ailment and Swan and his wife were at their wit's end. I suppose Joan couldn't resist the call, as her brother was to return to the bay in the spring." "Did you meet him?" asked Garth, "Oh, yes, they ate here several times, Very important person -the doctor." 'rAh-h!" This from Cameron. "What's the matter?" laughed Garth, "Didn't you like him?" "Like him? It was all I could do to keep my hands off that rooster,". growled the lord of Albany, "Ie made a formal protest in writing to the company to the effect that he had been insulted by you and that you re - to get his stuff` on Akimiski, but WINOHAM ADVANCE -TIMES told them at Moose what I though of him," Garth was. grateful to Cameron for his omission of other details pf Quar- rier's charges, which he knew. Joan had scornfully demolished, "Well, Miss Quarrier is not respon- sible for her brother. Could I bring her over from the Mission tonight? Swan almost kicked me out in Sep- tember." "Why, of course, Major Guthrie. I was going' to ask you to," said Mrs. Cameron. "The poor child has a dreary enough time with the Swans: They've been worrying about her soul you know, because of her liberal views on religion." After supper Garth hurried over the trail to the mission, At his knock the door was opened by the missionary. If Garth Guthrie had been sus- ceptible to withering looks from a reverend gentleman whose meager frame stiffened uneasily in the black cloth and clerical collar affected by Mr. Swan, he would have been em- barrassed at the chilly reception ex- tended to him when he said: "Good evening, Mr. Swan! I have come to take Miss Quarrier over to the Camerons' for the evening." You, sir,"indignantly replied the missionary, "have put yourself beyond the pale—have no right to the society of pure women." Hands on hips, for a space Garth smiled good-naturedly down on the greatly excited Swan, struggling "he- roically with the part his conscience " bade him play. Then he said quietly. s "Swan, if you choose to believe the nonsence with which Quarrier has fill- ed your peanut brain there is no law h to prevent it. But Miss Quarrier has s had opportunity to judge and she a doesn't believe it. She is also her own mistress and capable of determining c her own actions. She is going to the sa Camerons' with me now, Tell her I'm here!" The last was spoken with such cold vehemence that Reverend Swan in- stinctively drew back fearing bodily harm. But the little man was stub- born. "Miss Quarrier was placed un- der my protection by her brother. I have a duty—" "Oh, is that you, Mr. Guthrie?" called a feminine voice from some- where in the building. "Just a min- ute! I'm putting on my coat." "Miss Quarrier," announced the red- faced missionary, aware that the situ- ation was swiftly slipping from his control, "I forbid you walking to the Camerons' with this man." "Oh, Mr. Swan! You can't be really serious," said Joan, appearing in a doorway. "Mrs. Cameron expects me and I'm sure my reputation is good enough to survive the walk there with Mr. Guthrie." She was talking as one coaxes a child, and Guthrie bit his lips in an attempt to stifle a laugh. "Miss Quarrier, you ,know my wishes. If you choose to disregard them—" "Mr. Guthrie is an educated gentle- man," broke in Joan, "not a cave man. I will be home by ten o'clock. Good night," And crowding past the discomfited Swan, . Joan . Quarrier closed the door of the mission in his face. "It is not difficult to tell who's commanding here," chuckled Guthrie. "I don't like to humiliate the little man. He means well enough but if they will send weak men to work in this country, and the Oblates strong ones, like your friend, Pere Rousseau, the Indians will flock to the French," "But Cameron tells me you've done wonders with the orphan Crees." "Oh yes! I've been useful to them —that's why he doesn't dare exert the authority which my honorable brother bestowed upon him. Imagine, nursing three years in France, and having Mr. Swan to guide my faltering feet!" She laughed merrily, as they swung through the stinging air of the clear- ing, letter which went out that afternoon to Moose, But what bad his freed to do with the girl whose oversh crunched the snow beside him? "I would like to ask you'a questi he said at length. Her laugh rippled on the frosty. "This sounds interesting,' Mr. Ex but to avoid anti -climax you sho wait for our walk back—the mo will be up then." "The question won't wait," he re- plied, "Has your brother written you of my engagement?" "Yes.,, Medicine -making of old Saul, From can the mouth of Cameron, Joan Quarrier oes learned the details of the desperate II effort to save the trade and its ulti- on,' mate success. I "Aren't you proud of yourself Mr. air. Exile?" : she said as Cameron finished, ile, and her patent joy in his success was uld like wine to his blood. "And Shot, too on he earned his citation—but how grue- some it was—awful!" I As he walked beside her under the frosted stars to the mission, Guthrie !strove to . shift the conversation to Ithe personal—to recapture the note ou struck with such poignancy when she in learned the aftermath of her brother's story in Montreal, but the armor of her reserve defiled him. Baffled' by her th' mood, but respecting it, he asked if ed he might come to say goodby the fol- t n lowing morning, and left her at the mission door. To the man whose love had been on g his lips when his hand touched he ur 1 shoulder, the :new mood of the girl i defied analysis.

I wanted to tell' y that it has been broken -by her— this Christmas mail." In silence the girl walked, stiff Garth thought, watching her wi head turned to the river..He look but could not see her face, buried the fur hood. "The reason given was-Ninda." She turned fiercely questionin eyes as she demanded: "He told yo family that story?" "Evidently," said Garth, grimly. there was capacity for feeling in til girl, .he thought, she'll show it now "My brother has done with me, yo see. I've disgraced the family." "No, I don't see," she said, hoarse! gazing straight ahead. "My brothe has told that story in Montreal—in jured you beyond reparation— brother," "I'm sorry I told you," he replied shocked at the depth of her emotion But I wanted you to know that my hackles are off—I'm a free•man, I wanted you to know—" In the tide of emotion which stirred im, Guthrie faltered, stopped. The boulders of the girl lifted in a sob,. s she turned to conceal her distress. He touched her, thrilling at the ontact, "Please—I'm so sorry!" he id. "My brother!—How low, utterly low!" he heard her say. Then she got herself in hand—straightened, and said: "I will write at once to your brother." "You'll do no such thing. Do you suppose I'd allow you to soil yourself with this family row? Your brother has unintentionally done me a serv- ice for which I thank him." Joan's dark brows contracted, as she gravely searched his face. "You —are not joking—you mean it?" "I mean every syllable of it. Now let's forget it all and get ,on to the Camerons' before you freeze out here!. It's growing sharp," he said, but what he meant was: If you stand there another second looking at me like that, Joan Quarrier, I'll kiss you. The talk of the factor's was not al- lowed by that jubilant fur trader to stray far from the mad raid on Aki- miski by Garth and Etienne, and the fly, T'9rsday; N-ovemiier lith, 1192$'' the whole process of marketing live- stock and'.the ultimate manufactur- ing anufactur ,. ing of the animals into meat pro., - ducts.

Yet why, unless the exile up the coast had meant more than a passing friendship, had she stayed on to the drudgery—the unspeakable mo- notony of the mission? (To be continued). The man beside her was hardly aware of his moccasins touching the brittle snow, so lifted in spirits was he with the "nearness of the girl whose strange decision to winter at Albany defied analysis. "You didn't tell me this afternoon why you decieved me as to your whereabouts in your Christmas letter.' he hazared. "If I had told you, would you have come to sec me?" she asked turning her hood and meeting his eyes with, frank, impersonal 'gaze. "Yes!" "That is the reason." "You mean you didn't want to see me?" "I meanthat you lead your work to do—it would have interfered." He walked for a space in silence, then turned to her. , "You are that lziiid of a woman—you understand."
