The visitors were Mervintand How-so- n on their way to Dawson. These two men had been successful beyond their dreams. It was just like finding money the way fortune had pushed it in front of their noses. They were offensively prosperous; they reeked of success. In both of them a great change had taken place, a change only too TYiey typical of the seemed to have thawed out; they were Irrepressibly genial; yet instead of that restraint that had formerly distinguished them, there was a grafted quality of weakness, of of surrender to the enervating vines of the town. Mervtn was remarkably thin. Dark hollows circled his eyes, and a curious nervousness twisted his mouth. He was "a terror for the women," they said. He lavished his money on them faster than he made it. He was vastly more companionable than formerly, but somehow you felt his virility, his fighting force had heart. Hewson growled like a wrathful bear, but Mervin smiled his cynical smile. Oh, you mean the Madonna, he said; why, shes gone on the dance- -' halls. They continued to talk of other things, but I did not hear them any more. I was in a trance, and I only aroused when they rose to go. to the kid "Better say good-by- e here, said the Prodigal; "he's going to the old country No, I'm not," I answered sullenly; Im -to- -station rates Night rates begin at 7 p. in.

For although there were many degrees of dance-hadepravity, at the best it meant a brand of ineffaceable shame. She had lived with Locasto, had been recognised as his mistress that was bad enough ; but the other to be at the mercy of all, to be classed with the harpies that preyed on the Man with the Poke, the vamBerna pires of the Oh, it was unspeakable ! The thought maddened me. The needle-poiof suffering that for weeks had been boring into my brain seemed to have pierced its core at last. When the Prodigal expostulated with me I laughed a bitter, mirthil V a gold-cam- nt less laugh. Im going to Dawson, I said,' "and if it was hell itself, Id go there for that girl. I dont care what any one thinks. Home, society, honour itself, let them all go; they don't matter now. I was a fool to think' I could ever give her up, a fool. Now; I know that as long as theres life' and strength in my body, Ill fight for her. Oh, Im not the sentimentalist I was six months ago. Ive lived, since then. I can hold my own now. I can meet men on their own level.. I can fight, I can win. I don't care any more, after what I've gone through. I dont set any particular I'll throw it away as recklessly as the best of them. Im going to have a fierce fight for that girl, and if I lose therell be no more me left to fight. Don't try to reason with me. Reason be damned! Im going to Dawson, and a hundred men couldnt hold me.

Maybe you! can hold up your end. Well, anyway, if you will go I wish you good luck. So, bidding good-byto the big cabin, with my two partners looking ruefully after me, I struck off down Bonanza. It was A bitter; wind chilled me to the marrow. Once more the land lay stark beneath its coverlet of snow, and the sky was wan and ominous. I travelled fast, for a painful anxiety gripped me, so that I scarce took notice of the improved trail, of the increased activity, of the heaps of tailings built1 up with brush till they looked like walls of a fortification. All I thought of was Dawson and Berna. How curious it was, this strange new strength, this indifference to self, to physical suffering, to danger, to public opinion ! I thought only of the girl. I would make her marry me. I cared nothing for what had happened to her. I might be a pariah, an outcast for the rest of my days;, at least I would save her, shield her, cherish her. The thought uplifted me, exalted me. I had suffered beyond expression. I had rearranged' my set of ideas; my concept of life, of human nature, had broadened and deepened. What did it matter if physically they had wronged her? Was not the pure, virgin soul of her beyond their reach? I was just in time to see the last boat go out.

Those iron muscles had couched themselves in easy flesh; his cheeks sagged; his eyes were blodshot and untidy. Nevertheless he was more of a good fellow, talked rather vauntingly of his wealth, and affected a patronising manner. Ho was worth probably two hundred thousand, and he drank a bottle of brandy a day. In the case of these two men, as in the case of a thousand others in it seemed as if easy, the affluence was to prove unhoped-fo- r their undoing. On the trail they had been supremo; in fen or forest, on peak or plain, they were men among men, fighting with nature savagely, exultantly. But when the fight was over their arms rested, their muscles relaxed, they yielded to sensuous pleasures. It semed as if to them victory really meant defeat. As I went on with my packing I paid but little heed to their talk. What mattered it to me now, this babble of dumps and dust, of claims I was going to thrust and clean-ups- ? it all behind me, blot it clean out of my memory, begin my life anew.

There were uproarious souls on board, and many women of the town screaming farewells to their friends. On the boat all was excited, extravagant joy; on the wharf, a Borry attempt at resignation. The last boat they watched her as her stern paddle churned the freez-- i Ing water; they watched her forge her slow way through the they watched her in the far distance battling with the Klondike current; then, sad and despondent, they turned away to their lonely cabins.
