He broke into a run. Lew Snade turned his weak face at the sound of his approach. Then he begged: suddenly Let me alone let me alone! Hammond had growled, his big arms had outstretched; now he was on the man, bending him in his grasp. he comGive me that money manded. "Youre all wrong. I haven't got d The any money I Snade had caught the disteqded wrists of the miner and was hanging to them desperately. Hammond bulged his heavy shoulders; Snade rose in his grasp, legs dangling queerly, like those of a dummy. Shall I choke it out of' you!' he asked. Quickly he threw the man from him, then rushed him for a new grip, his muscular fingers Snade struck out at Urn, wildly; Hammond gave no evidence that he felt the blows. Now his hands, distorted with muscle, ploughed deep into Snades throat. Look out. Jack! Kenning shouted. Youll kill him! What of it? growled the prospector. Then to Snade, Give me that money! Lew Snade writhed You know helplessly, gasping. what I mean; that money you stole from Jeanne Towers. Lew Snade hesitated only a second longer. Then he raised his weak hands and pointed to his throat. Slowly, Hammond relaxed his grip. Snade, still reeling, pawed for his pockets. Currency, the nuggets, the phial of golddust; slowly he passed them over into the waiting hands of Jack Hammond. The prospector turned to Bruce Kenning. Whats this rat to you? We were just Why nothing. talking about a job. Be sure its never anything more than that. Black with rage he turned to the gasping Snade. Now you get over there on the Alaskan side. And stay there.

Might as well be neighborly, he grunted nnd started away. Jock Hammond was at home when he arrived, with a poster he had ripped from a cabin wall. Have you seen it? he asked. McKenzie Joe nodded. I've ordered a new suit for it. Are you going Jack stared. VThe older man pretended a casual it too, and the knowledge helped considerably to cool his anger as he pounded along the trail toward his placer claims. Getting drunk, with McKenzie Joe, was like a plague of locusts or a spring flood. Something disastrous always happened. At last. Jack turned from the trail and went into Jeannea store for a tin of tobacco. You look worried, she said. I am. Joe has announced that he's going to get drunk Thursday night. Well," she laughed, hell have plenty of company. Jeanne was much more buoyant these days. Lew Snade had not come again to Sapphire. In fact, Kenning had told Jack that the man had purchased one of several newly imported canoes and gone down the lake, prospecting. Enough that he had departed. Jeanne went on. You wont have to call out the reserves when Joe gets going?" Jack remained serious. It's really pretty terrible, Jeanne. Cracked heads and all that. But youre going to be with him to see that he doesnt get hurt. I cant leave him something always happens when I do. Jeanne smiled. Maybe hell fool you this time and be good. Heres hoping. Jack felt better now. Strangely, he always felt better after he had talked to Jeanne Towers. Yet he did not realize how often he needlessly dropped by this little store to buy tobacco when he had plenty, matches when his pockets were full, socks he did not intend to use. A week before, she had insisted on paying the partners for the original supplies which they had furnished her, only to go deeper in debt. It had been a secret loan from Jack Hammond for $3,000, to be rushed out by airplane the next day and sent by express to The Pas. At least, the monetary weight of her past was off her conscience. Now she came forward, wistfully eager. Gee, it's good to see you smile again," she said. Then hesitantly, You've helped me so much. Id give anything if I could There she halted and turned away. Jacks eyes followed her gaze, to sight the trim form of the approaching Kay Joyce. Oh, there you are, the Seattle girl exclaimed, with her usual easy Ive command of spontaneity. been looking for you. Jack Hammond felt again the queer emotions which flooded him whenever these women met As though he should explain Jeanne, extol her good qualities. It made him angry with himself; Jeanne needed no extolling and Kay had never made an outright move of enmity. I was just on the way down to Jack said. I heard the crack, some shouting."
