(Serial Rights Arranged Through F. D. Goodchild, Publishers, Toronto) (Continued) Tre film of mystery brought. into the G Malley musder” by his - own knowledge of Eskimo ‘strangling had been intensified into a shroud by his study of the exhibits he had secreted. Yet, speculate as he would, there was no other apparent line of suspicion than that of the -native’s guilt. He was at loss how to proceed until he - had questioned the man, for whom: the warrant had been issued. Each time. he-looked at he pelts, one outstanding fact camé to mind: No Eskimo ever held a pelt, after his woman had cured it, longer than it took’ to°get 16 the handiest trader. It was against ali.rhyme and reason that two fox pelts, werth many times their weight in gold,-would_remein-in ; dough luncheon. "ye had been prompt to act on hi3 im- portant discovery. - Besides the vol- ume, -he left am invitation to dinner for the girl and her hosts. Sergeant Russell Seymour, official head of the tiny community, was not among those present, having received no invitation. Now, this was a breach of. camp ett quette which could not be overlooked. Far worse ‘than the cut direct. it was nearly as much an-insult as a blow in the face. _ When a handful of whites are segregated in-a bronze man‘s country, they naturally cling to each other. as they do to the “alders.” Everyone’ possible within the pale is invited to everything that approaches a function. Even. squaw-men are asked to attend if they retain a sem- blance of presentability. There was no possible question that ; Factor Harry Karmack’s dinner was a function. Although it had never been {mentioned by Moira or the Morrows, { the sergean* had all the details. These i had been relayed by his native hostler iwho had them direct from the Arc- tic’s interpreter, the latter having act- jed as butler for the all-important oc- casion. The meal had been served \in courses, mind you, for the ‘first 'time in'the history of the camp. The factor's store of delicacies,. even to the tinned plum pudding, intended for the Christmas: feast, had been freely broached.. Seymour could not hope to equal such a spread from: police rations, but /he was not .o be outdone in hospital- ity. . Miss O’Malley and the Morrows had accepted hir invitation. to a sour- The factor had not accepted for an excellent reason that you probably can imagine. The three frori Mission House were coming this very noon and the ser- geant had been occupied part of the morning correcting the haphazard | housekeeping of quarters. In. fact, they had come, as was attested by the knocking-upon the front door. More lovely than ever Moira seem- ed to him as she returned a_smile to me. ‘rneir struggies are seldom known. -be- cause Through wilds untrod. ‘ These ageing spirits'roam where there ‘8 ? Naught but God” _ The spell of silence that followed his pronouncement of the Deity was rudely broken by a hammering on the outer door. So peremptory. was_the summons that Seymour sprang: to his feet, crossed the room and flung the ‘door open, only-to start back in amaze- ment. “Avic of the foxes, by all that’s holy!” he. exclaimed. Framed in th. doorway, his small eyes peering from a strained face out of the wolverine hood of his parkee, the fugitive Eskimo stoud alone. ~In- stead of handcuffs ‘on his -vrists, he held a rifle across his breast. CHAPTER VIII, The Hero Fugitive As the sergeant moved forward in- tent upon seizing the rifle; the huge, raw-boped Kogmollye came into the room ‘with .a bound that carried -him well over the*threshold. The move had every appeaiance of an attack of ‘one dement21; but before Seymour could grapple. with him the Jack of hostile intent was made manifest. The rifle Avic carried was thrown regardlessly to the floor. With a snarl inhuman. the Eskimo threw himself down bestde the. platter of caribou roast.. The odors of .cooked food had..proved too much for racial restraint. Hunger ‘had brought on the precipitate acti.n. - For several minutes, Seymour and his guests ;stood . and ‘watched the fugitive with amazement. .. He went at the deer shank after the fashion of a starving maleamute. Sinking his teeth into. the succulent meat, he tore out great. mouthfuls ‘which he swal- lowed without chewing.

How, then. nad the native come by them? Under ordinary circumstances— rather, under the amity of .suffer-iso- Jation-together which had _ existed prior to the tragedy, he might have gone to Harry Karmack with his pro- blem. At least, the factor could. have given him an expert’s opinion as: to when the skins had become pelts by virtue of tiapping and tanning. , But a breach yvawned between the two—one unwittingly caused by the fair addition to the limited population of Armistice. It wasn’t an open one, so. far, but both knew that it existed and bridging it was the last thought of either. . They were unadmitted riv- als for the favor. of Moira O'Malley. Anyone who knew the ~man, could have read the sergeant’s interest in his countenance. Contrary to winter practice of toilers of the trails, his face had been clean shaved from the morning after: La Marr’s departure. The trader, on his part, showed in- tensity of-his heart-hurt by countless little attentions to. the young woman. - The unfortunate brother had been laid away upon the highest knoll near | the camp after au simple service con- ducted by Rev. Morrow. The girl had held up. under her bereavement with a ‘courage that commanied al) their ad- miration. No hint.of the real cause of Oliver’s death had reached her, so guarded had been the feur. hresident whites who knew.. From the Eskimo. of course, she leerned nothing. She had accepted the report of an “acci- dent of the Arctic” and had asked no embarrassing questions as to details. The finality of death seemed to suf- fice; nothing else matteerd: A week after the funeral, a stranger would not have known from her man- ner that suddenly she had been de- prived of one of her dearest relatives. She never spoke of having a philo- sophy of life, but something of the sort seemed? .to sustain her, ©Her whole behavior indicated that she was determined not to make: others un- happy with her personal grief. They all had ‘their livés to live.in a_loca- tion that made life difficult.. Moira O'Malley would do her utmost to make the winter as happy as might be. She ..did not even ask if it were not possible to send her “Outside,” now that the reason for her presence had been re- * moved by Fate.

She was dressed to-day ertirely in-white, the first time he had ever seen her in anything but black. ~“What a snow bird you are, Moira!” he exclaimed, - almost. forgetting to greet the missionaries. not packing a gun, Sergeant Scarlet.” “Not even side arms.” -he said, re- leasing -his. whimsica™ smile. “Vm the one-that’s wounded—flutterinz. Put your wraps in the tent, all of-you, and T’ll put you to work.” For the first time they noticed the stage-setting he had created for his social bow. Every stick of furniture had-been removed and thé floor cover- ed with reindeer: moss, gray, soft and fragrant.. Two reserve sleds, padded with outspre:d sleeping bags, were evidently intendec to serve as seats. The “tent” to: which he had referred them was a drare of canvas over the door leading into-his own room. About the hearth \were scattered pots, pans and dishes of tin. The fireplace glow- dim for culinar,” service. “So this is what you meant by a sour-dough party,” observed. Mrs. Mor- row, her voice b-traying her enthus- iasm over the idea. “Wonder if I’m. hard-bitten enough by now to get the idea?” Moira asked them. “We're hitting the trail,” explained the missionary. “We've just pitched camp and are abcut to make. muck- muck. As Northwesterners. never pack grub for idle hands to eat, we'd. -better strip off our coats and get into action.” Where the fire giowed the hottest, Seymour ‘rigged’ an iron spit from which he suspended a shank of cart- bou on a wite as supple as a piece of string. Beneath, he placed a°pan‘to eatch the drippings. To Moira he entrusted a. second wire s> attached that an occasional pull kept the meat turning. : _“There’s. nothing more delicious than roast caribou,” he advised her, “and this is the very best way to roast ” : Luke Morrow wa. to aitend the broiling of.a dozen fool-hens—a var- fety of grouse—which the sergeant had~ shot -that morning. _-To Mrs. Emma was assigned the task of pick- ing over a mess of fiddle-head ferns which, by: some magic, hz had kept fresh since’ fall. .He was certain that, when properly boiled, they would, produce a dish of greens more delicate than spinach. “And you,- Russell?” queried the names, exeept that she. sometimes called him “Sergeant Scarlet.” “Be- cause of your rank, I suppose you'll eo boss th> job and eat twice as much as anyone-else.” He did not answer, but fell to his knees beside the open mouth of a flour sack. . With the aid of water and an occasional pinch of baking powder, he. quickly: mixed a wad of dough. Greasing a gold-pan with a length of bacon rind, he filled it with the dough ‘and stood it up facing the fire. “I’m baking bannock,”’. he answer- ed Moira’s quizzical look. ‘When the outside is browned, I'l toss it like a pancake, and soon we'll have a better bread than mother ever made.” The primitive feast at last was réady and they fell..upon it seated tailor-fashion upon the moss. The caribou was *so tender, remarked Rev. Morrow in complimenting the fair spit attendant, that you could: put yoir finger through it. “Don’t wasté time putting anything through it but your teeth,” remarked their host. Later, when they had turned to moss berries and condensed “cow,” provid- ed as a typical desert, Moira express- ed regret that S2ymecur’s attractive young ‘constable was not present to share-the feast, “Have you heard anything from La Marr, Seymour?” ‘asked the. mission- ary. “Not a word.” Something in tis tone startled the girl. “Has:he gone on a dangerous mission?” she asked. ‘Are you wor- ried about him?” The sergeant shook his head. “He's one of the trail-boys and will find others to stand by if he’s in trouble.” ore after a moment’s silence, he quot- “The cord that ties the trafl-boys has lashed Them -hgart to heart; No stage snts thelr Joys, no actors Play their parts; “In that case, I’m relieved you're: ed like a camp file permitted to grow]. girl, for they soon had taken to first: he dropped the shank to fill his mouth with bannock, but he returned to the meat, sucking. at it while yet his mouth was crowced. Seymour stooped-for the gun, recog- nized it as a service weapon and grew suddenly grave. _ “La Marr's rifle.” he muttered. _ Crossing to the. native, he gripped the back-thrown hood of the parkee and dragged him. sputtering protest- ingly, to his feet. Avic. wus con- siderable to lift, but Seymour was strong and deeply aroused. The cari- bou shank came with the savage, held in teeth that ‘demanded a last bite: “Here, you dog, drop that!” came gruff. command. “Want to founder yourself?” Morrow, too, recognized the danger of overloading a stomach tong. depriv- ed of food, took hold of the meat and tore it away from. the Eskimo. : “But surely they’! let him eat more later?” asked Moira of Mrs. Morrow in a hushed tone. (To be continued) Strange Bank Note’ Custom Bank of England Never Re-issues One : Of Its Notes British banks have owed much to the influence of aly ever since the Lombards came over to England, sev- en centuries ago, and set up a banking house in Lombard Street, which is still the venire of the - barking world of London. A remarkable feature about Bank of England five-pourd notes is that the whole of the printing is not in Eng- lish. I Governor. and the Company of the Bank -contains the «;ord “Compa,” which is the abbreviation for the Itel- ian word “compagnia,” meaning “‘com- pany.” The word “bank” itself Hae an Ital- jan origin. In the old days the money- changers in Italy counted their money on a table known as a “banco.” If one of-these men was unable to pay up his table was smashed and he was spoken of as “banco rotto,” from which comes the English word “bank- rupt.” One strange custom of the Bank of England is never to re-issue one of its notes. If a note is withdrawn by a customer from: one counter in the} Bank of England itself and paid fn at another, its life work is finished. A record is kept at the Bank of the history of each note. ; Horn-Rimmed Spectacles British Specialist Says Wearing Them Is An Atrocity Clement Jeffery, an eminent eye dia- gnostician, does not like the vogue which is fast gaining ground in Lon- don of wearing norn-rimmed ‘spec- tacles. - Lecturing on “The Nation’s Byes” in London iecently, he said that the wearing of horn-rimmed spec- tacles by adults was an atrocity, Mr. Jeffery added that the cause of. myopia was.not near work as is generally supposed, but mental strain. If all lessons could be made interesting and teachers and parents were paragons of love and patience, then myopla would be wiped out of the nation’s defects. Consoling to the Bald A doctor of wide experience declares that bald-headed. men never suffer from. consumption, and that a tend- ency to baldness is an assurance that the dreadéd scourge will pass over him whose thatch grcws thin.
