From the sounds outside the hooting of owls at night, the twittering of redpolls and buntings by day, the occasional tattoo of an Arctic he knew that the camp was located in a deep woods. He reasoned also that there must be a second shack close by, where the other Chiwaughlmis slept and where the cooking was done, for his food was brought in to him already twenty-hou- in Colors Bright U wood-peck- prepared. During the sled Journey he had clung to the hope that Poleon might be trailing the Chiwaughlmis, with a rescue party. But that hope had died in him now. Too much time had elapsed. If any party had followed. it would have closed in last night and attacked. Escape by his own hand, by any physical means, was flatly impossible. His wrists were bound with the green rawhide thongs till he could not move a finger; he was securely roped to the bunk; and always, close enough to touch him, sat an alert Chiwaughimi guard with a rifle on his lop. In his helplessness he had turned to 'Tceste Chiwaughimi that afternoon and reminded the d of the life debt between them; but Teeste had stonily refused to help him. The 'breed's gratitude bad distinctly waned. Full of health and strength again, he chose to forget the night when he had lain at the point of death.

Craig wearily listened to the macabre hooting of an owl and forced hie aching thoughts Paaway from hie lost battle end tricia and the death hanging over him. He had little idea where the had come with him, exa cept that they had made about He drove the thought away, because it was torment Though he was in extremity of body and mind, he refused to clutch at straws. Some time later he had dozed off without knowing it he stirred out of a feverish sleep.

In through the doorway came Poleon, carrying the limp unconscious form of Cesar Chiwaughimi He threw the d down, hurried to the bunk, bent over Craig.

"Here, Sam" he foiled Honeywell the thonge Craig don need dese any more, so you use em on dat son of a blue You hogtie heem proper and gag hcem so tight dat he won' holler none till we get plenty gone." "Who'e with you?" Craig whispered, ai Poleon cut the last rawhide from his swollen ankle;. "Jus Sam and me. Where is this place? They blindfolded me on the trip."

Well dia camp is In dal Dose two ahack, dey're w'ere Lovett's men stayed w'en he sen dat party op here in Apreel to do the assessment work on de Kessler gold lode. "Weve got to get out of this shack and away from here," Craig said. One of those other Chiwaughlmis may step in at any moment, to see that everythings all right" He tried to move, but be could not even rise to his elbow. He was helpless as a baby. His arms and legs were stiff as posts, and his whole body was numb. Poleon gentled Easy, easy, him. Ill have to give you wan good rub and pummeling fore you can stan op. Sam, you step outside and get dat Chiwaughimic gun. We need dat rifle bad. While he worked with Craig, Poleon told how Sam and be had got there. After discovering the abduction, they had waited till daybreak, then circled the Bay and picked up the telltale tracks of a sled and five men. In the whipping wind the trail was dim when they first found it, and before they had followed more than ten miles It wai blotted out altogether. But the Chlwaughi-mi- e had plainly been heading for the Wolf Lairs; and Poleon, remembering about Lovett's party In April and the shacks they had built for their temporary stay, shrewdly guessed that the Chiwaughlmis were taking Craig to thoce shacks in that isolated country. Luck had been with them on their trip at every turn except one; but there it had dealt them a cruel Jolt In crossing a email upland river that morning they had broken through the rotten mush ice and lost their packs, guns, and . almost their lives. After struggling ashore, they had laid a pole walkway out upon the ice and fished for their rifles; but the water was too swift and deep, and they had come on "But Sam and me have got a substectoot for guns. Poleon added. pointing at a canvas-wrappe-d bundle which Sam had just lugged Half hour ago. w'en we was in. nosing 'round dis camp, we ran into a lcetle cache, out dcre bey on' dat utter shack.

We wrap op eight steecks. wit' plenty cap and fuse, and brung 'em along. In a tight peench dem eart'quake steecks might help out." Craig asked Sam. That Chiwaug-himi'- s gun is loaded. Isnt it? Yes. Fall clip But none in the chamber. Well that's five cartridge. Search his pockets and belt Sam made a thorough search but found no more shells. With an effort Craig managed to sit up He could bend his arms and legs a little now; the paralysing numbness was slowly leaving him: and in hi ineffable gladness at being snatched back to life he no longer felt his throbbing pains. "We've simply got to clear away from here. he insisted, working hard to drive that numbness out of his body. If you Allows will help me walk for a mile or two, I'll get my leg back again. Sam picked up the rifle. Poleon the bundle of dynamite. Poleon bent Cesar over the saw that he was tightly Shhh-sh!- " thes half-bree- bull-min- bare-hande- bound and gagged, and then snuffed the candle. Leaning heavily on the two men, Craig stood up from the bunk, shut fled awkwardly across the floor, like a person on stilts, and stumbled out into the dark out of the shack where half an hour ago he had lain awaiting death. Through the pines and buckbrush he saw the dim outlines of the second shack, 20 yard away, where the ether four Chiwaughlmis lay sleeping. With an anxious glance at the dim (hack he moved on with hie companions. Gray dawn, at two o'clock, found them five mile down country. An hour later the flaming k sun slanted above the northeast horizon and started swinging up the bright iky! Craig was heartened by their progress. Seven swift miles, nearly a sixth of the distance to the Bay and no sign yet of the Chiwaughl-mis- ! If he and Sam and Poleon could only hold that fast clip they might outrun the metis to Resurrection mouth. He had shaken off hia numbness within the first half hour; and the crisp night air and vigorous pace had cleared up his nauseating headache. In better shape in fact than either Sam or Poleon, he was carrying the rifle and dynamite and leading the way. His two partners were in worse condition than they had told him or than he had reckoned on. With no sleep and very little to eat, they had almost 90 miles, and they were badly worn down; but the worst was tLcir three-o'cloc- Make Luncheon Seta of Striped Material.
