I kept It In my pocket where I could fight for It, at .any minute." Cranston had been mistaken, after all, in thinking that in fear of himself Dan would be afraid to keep the packet on his person, and would crav-eniconceal It in the house. He would have been even more surprised to know that Dan had lived in constant hope of meeting Cranston on the ridges, showing him what it contained, and fighting him for it, hands to hands. And even yet, perhaps the day would - come when Cranston would know at last that Snowbirds words, after the fight of long ago, were true. The twilight was falling over the snow, so Snowbird and Dan turned to the toil of building a sled. In the The snow was steel-gra- y moonlight when the little party made their start down the long trail. Their preparations, simple and crude as they were, had taken hours of ceaseless labor on the part of the three. The ax, its edge dulled by the flame and its handle burned away, had been cooled to . the snow, and with one sound arid Lennox had driven the hot nails that Snowbird gathered from the ashes of one of the outbuildings. The embers of the house itself still glowed red in the darkness. Dan had cut the green limbs of the trees and planed them with his ' ax. The sled had been completed, handles attached for pushing It, and a piece of fence wire fastened with nails as a rope to pull it. The warm mackinaws of both of them as well as the one blanket that Lennox had saved from the fire were wrapped about the old frontiersmans wasted body Dan and Snowbird hoping to keep warm by the exercise of propelling the sled. Exy cept for the dull ax and the pistol, their only equipment vi as a single charred pot for melting snow that Dan had recovered from the ashes of the kitchen. The three had worked almost In silence. Words didnt help now. They wasted no sorely needed breath. But they did have one minute to talk when they got to the top of the little ridge that had overlooked the house. Well travel mostly at night, Dan We can see in the snow, told them. and by taking our rest in the daytime, when the sun is bright and warm, we can save our strength. We wont have to keep such big fires then and at night our exertion will keep us as warm as we can hope for. Getting up all night to cut green wood with this dull ax in the snow would break ns to pieces very soon, for remember that we havent any food. I know how to build a fire even in the snow especially if I can find the dead, dry heart of a rotten log but It isnt any fun t(keep It going with green wood. We dont want to have to spend any more of our strength stripping off wet bark and hacking at saplings than we can help; and that means wed better do our resting in the heat of the day. After all, Its a fight against starvation more than anything else. Just think, the girl told them, reproaching herself, If I had shot straight at that wolf today, we could have gone back and got his body.'1 It might have carried us through. Neither of the others as much' as looked surprised at these amazing Regrets over the lost, unsavory flesh of a wolf. They were up against realities, and they didnt mince words. Dan smiled at her gently, and his great shoulder leaned against the traces. f They moved through a dead world. The manifestations of wild life that had been such a delight to Dan in the summer and fall were quite lacking now. The snow was trackless. Once they thought they saw a snowshoe rabbit, a strange shadow on the snow, but he was too far away for Snowbird to risk a pistol shot. The pound or two of flesh would be sorely needed before the journey was over, but the pistol cartridges might be needed still more, she (lidnt let her mind rest on certain possibilities wherein they might be needed. Such thoughts stole the courage from the spirit, and courage was essential beyond all things else to bring them through. ' As the dawn came out, they all stood still and listened to the wolf pack, singing on the ridge somewhere . behind them. It was a large' pack. They couldnt make out individual voices neither .the more shrill cry of the females, the yapping of the cubs, or the low, clear note of the males. If they should cross our tracks Lennox suggested.1 it No use worrying about that how not until we come to It, Dan told J Catarrh Can Be Cured Catarrh is a local disease greatly influconditions.

Sure Relief , CHAPTER II 19 Continued. The thought sobered and halted her. She glanced once at the dark face of her companion. Dan couldnt understand the strange light that suddenly leaped to her eyes. Perhaps she herself couldnt have explained the wave of tenderness that swept over her with no cause except the look in Dans earnest gray eyes and the lines that cut so deep. Since the world was new, It has been the boast of the boldest of men that they looked their Fate in the face. And this Is no mean looking. For fate is a sword from the darkness, a power that reaches out of the mystery, and cannot be classed' with sights of human origin. It burns out the eyes of all but the strongest men. Yet Dan was looking at his fate now, and his eyes held straight They walked together down to the ruined house, and the three of them sat silent while the fire burned red. Then Lennox turned to them with a stay here. You' can take the pistol, and youll have a fair chance of getting through. Ill grub wood for our camp meanwhile, and you can bring ' help.

Ill stay here and Ill scrape together enough wood to keep a fire. Then you can bring help. He kept his eyes averted when he talked. He was afraid for Dan to see them, knowing that he could read the lie in them. How do yovt expect to find wood in this snow? Dan asked him. It will take four days to get out; do you think you could lie , here and battle with a fire for four days, and then four days more that it will take to come back? Youd have two choices: to bum green wood that Id cut for you dead-woo- d before I left, or the under the snow. You couldnt keep either one of them burning, and youd die in a night.
