Husby dipped his own paddle, "Come on Mr. Ramlll. By his own account, three hours more will rid us of him and his Insolence." "Walt," said Lllith. She pointed to the bank where the pleasant green of young spruces showed among the weathered white trunks d birch trees. "If we of have so much time we'll land there and clean up." "Rutwith the post so near, my dear Lllllth!" Huxby protested. "That fellow Tobln had any amount of soap." "All the more reason. I'll not have even a common navvy see me In this condition. The ras can't be helped. But the dirt! Out burst her suppressed loathing for all the grease and grime that smirched herself and the men "Mud I slime I rancid fat! spoiled meat I Alan Garth, I know that I have to go In dressed like a squaw. But this this tilth!" He surged the canoe around shoreward with a powerful sweep of his paddle. "rvot necessary, Miss Ramlll. A scouring with hardwood ashes and sand will do the work of soap. We can go In sweet." They landed where an Ice jam had gouged of some spring break-uthrough the muskeg mud at the end of the ridge and left a clear beach of glacial sand and gravel. Up over cut bank, Garth started the ten-foa fire with one of his two remain ing matches. No cleaning could be done until the fires burned out. When Mr. Eamlll took off the spits of cooked meat, all squatted down as usual to share the meal. Garth smiled his thanks as he took the slab of hot meat handed to him by the million aire. The smile hardened. A sudden change had fallen upon his three companions. He could easily guess the cause. They real Ized that this was the last meal they were to share as fellow voy ageurs with him. The moment they stepped from the canoe onto the wharf at the emergency refueling post,'" their forced cotnpauionshlp with hiiu in the lost valley and on all the long trip would be at an end. Instead of a trio dependent upon their op ponent for food and guidance for life Itself they would be a trio not only independent of, but hostile to him and his Interests. That was at least true of the two men. And even Lllith betrayed In her look and manner a vivid con sciousness of the impending change of relationship. As for Huxby, the cold gloating In his stare showed how be was anticipating the rob bery and ruin of the man who had so far outplayed them. Mr. Ramlll had reacted In his own way. His temporary frlendll ness had disappeared. He was again the bland, adroit Investor In mines who so generously present ed worthy prospectors with a thotj sand, and In return took over claims worth many thousands. Huxby had been a hopeless case." But Garth had fancied there were possibilities In the older pirate. Lillth Ramlll, however, was the real disappointment Though she had done nothing so far as Garth could tell, to disprove her declared hatred of him, she had seemed more and more to show a spirit of fair play. It had led him Into thinking she possessed a true spirit of sportsmanship. By the time Garth finished his own meat, he managed also to swallow his bitterness. After all, what else could he have expected? The girl was the daughter of Burton Itamlll the selfish spoiled daughter of an unscrupulous business sharper. He broke In upon her rubbing of the begrimed diamond: "May I ask you for the salt and tea bags, Miss Ramlll? They're as good as empty, I see. But I can refill them for my return to the valley."

After that frost and snow will make no difference. I'll have a pair of webs snowshoes." The millionaire spoke In place of his wild-eyedaughter: "But, man, the cold?" Garth smiled. "Have yon forgotten I told you that I wintered with the Eskimos at Coronation Gulf?" "They have dog teams." "Some of those teams were reared from wolf pups. I might experiment. There are several wolf families In the valley." "You're stark mad I If you think you can " Mr. Ramlll paused, ne listened to what Huxby was muttering In his ear. His frown smoothed out, and he again favored Garth with the smile that did not go up as hif'i as his shrewd eyes. "Oh, well, my boy, if you're bound to risk your life In fool hardy adventuring, that's none of our business." "If "Quite so" Garth agreed. our sixty-fortdeal had not fallen through, It would have been your business to do the legal assess ment work on the claim. But as things stand, I may as well put in the winter doing the work myself. The metal I sled out with my wolf team should pay enough to buy me a freight plane." The millionaire beamed. "Yes ah true!" Garth smiled back at him. "By the way. I meant to let you discover for yourselves at Fort Smith the happy surprise I've had all along for you. But since you're so pleased already over my prospects, I'll let you into the secret right y fair-size- d Huxby cursed, snatched up his rags, and dashed back In, to dress under water. Mr. Ramlll, however, had no desire to put on wet clothes. He beat at the zlzzing pests with his tattered union suit. It enabled hlra to get Into the leather trousers and coat without being stung more than half a hundred times. Garth's mirth was mixed with admiration for the mine Investor's nerve. Along with this he felt a glow of satisfaction over the results of what his rigorous training millionhad done for the once-sof- t the aire. Though still heavy-se- t had become gentleman portly something of an athlete In appearance. His flabby muscles had been hardened; his loose Jowls were now firm. His paunch had disappeared. "My word, sir," Garth sang out, "you look fit for the football squad. That should be worth more to you than a dozen platinum claims. At least you might toss me my buckskins." Mellowed by the bath and swim to a temporary return of friendliness, the millionaire chuckled and came down the beach to fling the sodden garments out to their owner. His loitering afterwards may have been for Huxby. Yet he went back to the dead fires with Garth, when the engineer muttered some thing about having dropped bis penknife. As the two disappeared over the bank, Huxby top of the sprang to open the wolfskin knap- half-dr- y ed now." "Secret at Fort Smith?" "Yes. I forwarded my papers by the southbound Bellanca before I had the pleasure of meeting you and Miss Ramlll. My claim has been on record for the past four weeks or so." Huxby glared with a sudden change from gloating to cold rage "Y'ou lie! You were going out in your canoe." He was on his feet almost as toon as Garth. His tists swung in blows driven by all the force of his furious anger. Garth side stepped both, and clipped In a hook to the Jaw. Huxby dropped as If hit by a sledge. Yet it was not a complete knockout After three or four seconds, he sat up, blinking like a dazed owl. Garth had stepped back. He said: "Apologize, or get op and take what is coming to you." Huxby stopped blinking. The daze cleared from his eyes. They took on their usual calculating look. He felt the beard on bis sore Jaw, and replied with cold deliberation: "I withdraw the term." Arrogant as was the tone, the words were an unqualified apology. Garth turned to Lllith, who stood gazing at him with a peculiar hard glow In her blue eyes. He spoke as If nothing had happened: "Some of the ashes ere now cool enough for you to use, Miss Ramlll Rub them on as a mud paste till the potash cuts the grease, then scour with snnd, and rinse. Better take your ashes In the blanket and use It for protection while you The sheets do your laundering. and bulldog flies are swarming. You'll find a bit of sand beach Just under that clump of spruce."

The wolfskin knapsack, with Its platinum alloy treasure, had been left attached to the mooring line of the canoe. There was no bag for Garth, He made one by opening the front of bis buckskin shirt and hand ladling wood ashes Inside. Lllith went over beyond the spruce thicket with her blanket-bagge- d ashes. Garth led Mr. Randll and Huxby to the strip of sand below the beached canoe. There he showed them how to cheat the Instead of buzzing Insect pests. stripping for his laundry work, he muddled his ashes and plastered the paste all over his body and on the Inside and outside of his clothes.

"Do yon know of anyone more hard? The point In her case Is that she was only a brittle, harsh alloy. Now she's at least partly tempered into true steel I had hopes of still better results from the both of you. But hate and treachery blacken the blood." At the bitter statement the milHe lionaire flushed with anger. started to turn over on his side to frown at Garth, The movement drew Garth's glance. Above a clump of wild currants, less than ten paces distant he glimpsed the top of Huxby's hat and the outthrust muzzle of the automatic. As Garth ducked forward, the pistol blared. Garth pitched down on his face. At the same Instant, startled by the shot, Mr. Ramlll jerked up on his elbow. The long grass had hidden him. Huxby could not have known that his partner was lying so close beside Garth. In the excitement of the moment, he must have thought he had missed his kill and that Garth was He Instantly bounding up again. pulled the trigger a second time. Knocked over by the shock of the bullet, the millionaire sprawled across the flaccid body of Garth. Even as the roar of the second shot dinned In his ears, the killer saw what he had done. The pistol dropped from his paralyzed hand. Before he could recover his wits, LUltb burst screaming from the spruce thicket Half clad, wet hair flying, she dashed forward to fling herself down on her bnre knees beside her father. Under the partly washed off coat of mosquito dope, his face was the same sallow gray ns Garth's. She looked up, her eyes black with horror.

But at sight of the two men he bad shot he thrust his pistol Into Its sheath. All the back of Garth's sideward turned head was a crimson blotch. What need of wasting powder on a man shot through the head? Mr. Ramlll's wound gave him no less satisfaction, though for an exactly opposite reason. The bullet had struck high up on the shoulder blade, between neck and arm. Huxby' pulled the thickset body from under Lllith and opened the front of the leather coat The bullet had drilled clean through and come out below the collarbone. "Look!" he shouted his relief. "Your father he's not killed, only knocked out The wound's not serious, so high op through the chest Same way one of my classmates was shot by a hold-up- . Take hold. Well get him Into the canoe and make a quick run down across to the refueling post That fellow Tobln will have a medical kit" The pulling of her father from under her had let the girl down upon the body of Garth. Huxby's eager assurance roused her from the She struggled partly op, to peer at her father, her hands braced upon Garth's lax side. Even as she gazed, the gray of her father's face became less ghastly. But In place of the smile of relief for' which Huxby looked, she sprang up to flare at him in another outburst of denunciation: "Murderer I Liar! There's his knife where I left It He did not have It I Liar! Sneak J He did not attack Dad. But you yon crawled up and shot him without warning!" Huxby dropped his mask. "Wbat of It?

Garth sat down beside the tin cup and little aluminum pot to mend a rip In bis buckskin trousers. Still In a friendly mood, but with shrewd calculation In his eyes, Mr. Ramlll stretched out on his back In the long grass beside Garth. "Well, young man, It appears that the game Is played out The Joke on us Is that you had the cards stacked. A cold deck, and no stakes op." Gartb differed: "Why not ptit It according to the facts, sir? I offered a square deal a straight business proposition.
