Long after day had dawned the little train of porter Indians, doga and sleds, continued their way over the snow. Laura protested against thla separation from her friend, but it was all in vain. When the tents were pitched Laura met Lackland and asked: Where Is my companion, Kate Willis, from whom yon promised I should ot be separated? She ta back with the aick man." B answered.

Mr. 1 aekland s''emed very much distressed that ahe was cut off from her female companion, and selected four men to go back, at he said, and bring her over the fallen avalanche If possible. The four selected were Ben Allen, Morris. Ned Padgett and Tom Ambrose. When Lackland took them apart, to give hla final Instructions, he said: Take the woman and wounded man back to Skaguay." What! An' have him hang na for holdln' him prisoner in the mountains? asked Allen. - ' But he Is lunaue. You are four , witnesses to one. 7 and Ned shrugged his shouldera muttered something about never wanting to see Skaguay, especially while their late prisoner lived. "Very well, then, start with them toward Skaguay, but don't reach the place. Become lost. You understand how to do that. At least he must not know anything of the young wr man here, and she must have no knowledge that Paul Miller is alive. His final Instructions were so clear and imperative there could be no possible mistaking them, and when he had finished they took their departure. The story about the avalanche falling In their rear and blocking up th way was all a clever Invention on th part of Mr. Lackland. Lackland went to Lauras tent, hla white face wearing a careworn and troubled look. The lines of hla fa-turseemed more deeply drawn and bis face was expressive of the greatest concern. .

Intuition, or whatever you may choose to call it, told Laura her lover lived. She was conscious of his presence somewhere in this vast world. And felt as Instinctively drawn to him x as the needle to the magnet Days passed and the small party was still in the valley, hemmed In by the mountains and eternal raowt. Lackland made frequent visits to Laura after despatching the four men to give an account of their progress In cutting their way through the pass. Laura, he said, in a low gentle tone, which would have thrilled any other woman, I have tried to hope against hope for your sake.

Nevertheless, her eyea grew dim with tears, which trickled adown her damask cheeks. Lackland, for several moments overcoms with his own emotions, at last said: Laura, ita your nobje, sanguine nature which I admire that makes you hope against hope. But Alas! U is useless for you, to feed yourself on hopes longer. I know It must be true, for men whose word I cannot doubt tell me, and it must be true- - Bit Laura, whatever may happen, believe me, I will ever be your friend. Let me weep with you over your losa! You frighten ... "Dont dont talk so! me! she gasped. "Frighten you, darling? he whispered. Frighten you? Oh, if y knew the pangs of this heart If yQ only knew how tenderly devoted I am to you; if you only knew how willingly I would change places snd lie in the unknown mountain tomb until the sounding of .that great trump which shall wake the dead, you would not have th least cause for fear.

Poor Kiri alone la an unknown ftrsst, with A es Adman no wonder ahe was fright-ned- . 8he had started np from the camp stool and taken a step toward the door of the tent as U she would fly, hut he quickly put himself before her snd said No, no: don't leave me, dearest. I ill not harm ou I will not touch YOU. I ouly waut to ssy one word. When continced our pour, dear Paul ia no more, will you, oh. will you look With more favor on my suit?" 8he found her voice now. The words the stinging Insult fired her soul and In s voice in which grief, fsge and disgust were strangely blended, she cried No, no a thousand tiraei no! If It was (or this you have followed toe across the ocean and wilderness you Can go yes, go! I will have no more to say to you go! Drawing herself up to her full height, with all the scorn which an Injured soul can depict In a handsome face, she pointed toward the door of the tent. Unable to stand before the proud, defiant creature whom he had in his grasp, he started toward the floor of the tent, when on of the Early In October there was held in St. Louts, at the Hall of Congresses, In connection with the World's Fair, strangest figures either hsd ever seen, entered. It was a man fully fifty yeara of age, hla long white baty and heard evidently many year atrangers to either rasort, scissors, combs or brushes. In hit hand the old man carried a Winchester rifle, the butt of which he placed on the ground, while he leaned on the muxzle, snd fixed his curious So eyes on the man before him. piercing was that glance that It seemed to penetrate the very soul of the scoundrel. The old man might have been taken for a Rip Van Winkle, but for the fact that Els arms were all of the latest d improvement Advancing a pace or two and pausing, he leaned on hla rifle, glancing from first one and then the other, but uttered not a word. After a moment's amazed silence Lackland gasped: Who In Satan's name are you? The old man of the mountains, was the answer. In a low husky voice, which seemed to chill the blood lu the reins of the rascally Lackland. There was firmness In the vdlce, a steady gleam In the eye, which indicated he had met a man whom It would not do to trifle with. "Where did you come from? asked Lackland, quaking. ."From the mountain, was tbs an- Ussue-bnUdin- of v f'-Hu- . - There has been no avalanche, the old man answered, ia his deep voice; "There has been no avalanche!" She quickly fastened her gsxe upon the face of Lackland, who began to retreat toward the door. "So yon have deceived me, monster! she began. If you listen to that old fool you will believe anything. He is crazy! cried Lackland, snd darted from th tent, leaving Laura alone with the old man of the mountains. CHAPTER XVI. Driven to Desperate Straits. Once outside the tent. Lackland was like one dazed and confused. He saw a figure coming toward him and recognized it as one of his men. He bur tied toward him, saying: Cummins, you have come at last? Yes; they relieved me and told me to report here. Right glad I am of It, too, for if ever there was s fiend In woman form it's that tarmagaut down there. (To be continued.)
