A glance inside the cabin showed Garth the body of Constable Dillon lying where he had left it Laney explained, with a Jerk of a thumb to Huxby: He first says we'd chuck the stiff under the ice. Then he says, no, to wait an' heave it out when we was flying over the muskegs." Well wait still longer, Garth said. That brave constable Is going to receive an honorable burial. Now get to work with those sapling levers. Another pair of logs on the cribs will raise the floats high ehough to roller her clear." Lilith had stood off a little to one side, watching the work with wondering admiration. A shriek from Lilith whirled Garth face about. Huxby was rushing at him, with an ax lifted high In his manacled hands. Lilith flew at the attacker as If frenzied. She sought to block his charge. He gave her his shoulder with the skill of a football player. It caught her on the chin and sent her spinning. But the slight check allowed Garth time for a leap In under the ax before the blade could whirl down on his head. His left fist appeared to punch deep into the pit of Huxbys stomach. His right drove up under the chin of the The uppercut gasping murderer. lifted the killer off his feet and dropped him on his face, clean knocked out With no more than a glance at his fallen attacker, Garth sprang to help Liliths dazed effort to sit up.

With a sudden return of alertness, Lilith turned her gaze away from his shadowy profile to watch the three lined-uminers. Garth did not smile at the girl's needless caution. She had earned the right to think herself an Invaluable helper. He allowed her to stand guard while he gathered up the three rifles and unloaded them. Miss Ramill, Garth said. Right-o- , "Sit down. Its all over now but the talking. She lowered the pistol but drew back where she could watch Huxby as well as the miners. Garth looked soberly at the men.

Some time before sunset, he set the cabin plane down at the landing of the Airways base by the month of the Slave river. After handing Lilith ashore, he left her standing while he went to speak to the Airways superintendent. That courteous gentleman hastened to tell the girl that his wife would be delighted If the daughter of Mr. Burton Ramill would honor their hospitality. Garth was not Invited.

Told by her hostess that Mr. Garth wished to speak with her, she made a hurried effort to adjust her borrowed dress. She went hesitatingly Into the room where Garth waited alone for her.

He lashed the unconscious killers wrists to his belt, tied his ankles together, and climbed Into the cockpit of the plane. After replacing the breaker points, he had the men take turns spinning the propeller. He then tried the 'selfstarter. The engine roared. Bulled by the whirling propeller, the plane slid forward off the log rollers. After cutting the gun, Garth ordered two of the men to heave II ux by Into the cabin.

He made sure of the supply of gasoline, and climbed down again to see that the men gave the bottom of the floats a thorough greasing with the bear fat.

It was made of white or yellow phosphor-us and sulphur. The phosphorus was difficult tc work with and the sulphur gave off obnoxious fumes when the match was lighted. On account of this odor, "parlor" matches came Into vogue, stearic acid being used Instead of the sulphur. The poisonous and deadly phosphorus was still present, however, as was chlorate of potash. This last chemical caused the match, when struck to go off with a scries of miniature explosions. Several early attempts were made to produce a safety match, but all of them failed except that of one factory In Erie, Ba.
