CHAPTER XIII Continued 2& It stripped tils: If the lound Gfilbralth at Elkwan Garth Guthrie was done. Cameron might fix It with the company, but the authorities would be merciless. Then the smug Charles could revel In his "I told you sos," and Ethel he had not thought of Ethel, whose Christmas letters he had not answered, since he found Joan Quarrler on the Albany clearing she could thank Heaveu for her lucky escape. "But the police won't find hlra at Elkwan I" Guthrie rasped through his to teeth, and went to the trade-housmake his plans with Etlenne. "Did you have any trouble getting him up here?" Guthrie asked. "'o, he holler some, but he was lashed In good." Then Guthrie explained the part Etlenne was to play when the police appeared. They would want to Interview him, and must find him in bed, a sick man. Accordingly, he must have the bandages, which Miss Quarrier would prepare at once, ready to put on. The children would have to be coached and kept out of the way. "Have you ever been badly hurt, Etlenne?" smiled and opetiln? The Ms shirts, drew them back, baring a long scar across the muscular chest. "At Henley house, nt de New Year (hince, I get dis, nianee your ago. I was ver' seek man. I know. Wen jiuleece iley come, I be ver' seek man once more.' Guthrie laughed outright at the gravity of bis head man. "Trust you, Etienne, to net your part anywhere! Now If we could only keep them away from my quarters, but I've get to feed them there. That's where the danger lies. He may make a noise. He'll have to have Ail opiate to keep him quiet. If they bear him. It's all up with us." Savanne took the pipe from bis mouth and leaiiPd toward his chief, the muscles In his swart face knotted with the Intensity of his feeling. For a space the two men hardly breathed ns the narrowed eyes of the bored Into Guthrie's quizzical gaze. Then Etlenne said slowly: "You nre good frien' to me an' my familee. I feex dese pnleece If you say so." Slowly, ns he read the stark sincerity of the offer In the other's face-se-nsed that his friend of the dusky skin was bringing to the altar of their the supreme gift, the friendship hazard of bis life, Guthrie's eyes softened with the affection uliich two years of river and coast and trail with Etlenne Savanne bad kindled, lie reached out a long arm and took the sinewy band of the other. "I won't forget my friend." The swart face of the half breed lit with pride nt the words, then turning away, be threw over bis shoulder: "I pet de bandage from M'a'mselle Qunr-rle- r on' show Marie how to mak' good nurse."

He's been straining terribly at his bonds. Lucky you and Etlenne made them strong." 'You gave him the opiate, of course?' "Yes, he's feeling It now. Hy supper time he'll he quiet but his breathing?" "That's what worries n1." Guthrie went to the sick room where the giant. bound to his bed by thick bandages of cloth, lay moaning in a half stupor. "Old Craig. To finish like this!" Sorrowfully, the man who was imperiling his future that his friend might have his chance went out to meet the approaching With Shot hesldo him, curious of the strange dogs, Garth watched the visitors climb the cliff trull behind their team of scrubs. "Good day!" called the older of the two men, stepping forward with extended hand. This is Mr. ltawdon." The speaker nodded to his companion, a young, heavily built man, who shook Guthrie's hand. "I've been expecting you," said Guthrie. "You can turn your dogs Into that empty shack after you've fed them. They'll be safe there. My only assistant, as you know, Is laid up." The dogs fed and safeguarded from the big Ungavas of the post, Guthrie led his guests to the warm stove of the trade-room- . come straight "You from Seal cove?" he asked carelessly.

How am I ever to repay you?" ne sat from habit with the unmarred left side of his face quartering on the girl. Suddenly she straightened, startling him with the tenseness of her look. "Why do you sit that way?" she demanded angrily. "What what do you meun?" be asked, confused by her tone. "You treat me as If I were oh, like the one he came back to." She pointed toward the adjacent sickroom. Vaguely her meaning dawned on him. Scars to her were an accolade. Those straight eyes of hers never turned in horror from a wound. "Forgive me," he said, and his eyes clouded with mist "I knew the day I met you that you saw beyond the scars." For an Instant her face was radiant with a look that stirred the man with the mad desire to go to her take her In his arms wring from this woman who doubted him his love, the admission that she too cared. Hut no, not here, his ward and guest, helpless to avoid him. His chivalry checked his Impulse. She knew he loved her; she should have fair play at Elkwan. Muttered words from the sick man drew them to his bedside. The great frame, banded by strips of cloth to confine him In bis delirium, rendered the bed be lay on Insignificant. His heavy russet hair, smoothed by the nurse from his wide forehead, framed the deep blue eyes which stared, unseeing at the ceiling of the room. leered the torn mouth, ghastly In its distortion, "We were hippy before," they heard him mutter. "I know I know--It was hard. Hut couldn't you bear It for the sake of the old days? Handsome Galbraltti it was once. Handsome Then that shell! Good-by- , Galbralth ! Hut you I loved needed. Your eyes! God! the look In theiiv when you saw me!" The eyes of Joan Quarrier and Guthrie met. Two tears, Ignored, slowly wet her checks. The face of the man was twisted with pity. "What hell he nnwt have lived through !" "And she why nre such creatures put Into the world?" said the girl, huskily. "When his need of her was greatest she unmasked her little soul." Involuntarily Garth Guthrie started. How unerringly she had characterized Ethel. Had she guessed, he wondered. "I can guess what followed." Garth replied. "I know Mm. Heart broken he often spoke of her he went to drink, to forget. Then It happened." "P.ut nftcr all. are they sure he's the man?" "The clrcunwlantlal evidence puts the description, It beyond question his being here In the north." While Joan caught a few hours' sleep lu the room of Guthrie which be bad again given her, the factor sat beside tne unconscious man, whose tortured lungs labored for breath. Hcfore she lay down the girl stood before the photographs c.ulzzlcnlly which still stood in their place on Ids dresser. "You're very lovely," she murmured. "It's not strange that be can't forget you.

"Oh, a nurse nlways puts duty before pleasure, Mr. ltawdon," she replied, with a stltf smile, as with lilted head she waited, nerves taut as wires, for the repetition of a sound she had heard a sound Incomprehensible, terrifying, from the closed room. "Well," he laughed, "that's wimt I call a compliment. Hut you'll be back soon?" "Hack soon, you whelp!" cursed Guthrie Inwardly. "If you don't finish that food, I'll choke you with It !"

Like the ring of tempered metal thovoleeof Ga'hrle crossed to the Cne III the kitchen door. She disappeared. "What's this all about, Cuthrie -this racket in there?" stormed ltawdon, heatedly.

Among the exhibits Is a pair of boots, and these have a history. When Humus was a parliamentary candidate nnd had to a public meeting at Sens, lie noticed that bis boots were down at heel nnd shabby. "I can't possibly address the electors In boot a like these," he said to his companion, Alphonse Hlllcbault de Chaffault, "and there Isn't time to buy another pair. You must lend me your boots, and I will lend you mine." The change was effected. The novelist stuck to his friend's boots nnd were them out. Ills own boots, which would stand no more wear, were thrown away In a lumber room, and ultimately Inherited by Count Georges de Chaffault, who, In response to an advertisement for relies of the illustrious writer, presented them to the Vllliers Cotterets museum.

Fair women are rare where life Is hard, and hit evi dent surprise at finding the nurse who had wintered at the mission nt Albany of such comeliness, seemed temporarily to paralyze his tongue.
