Goodchild, Publishera, ° Toronto) (Continued) zs She could not understand why the sergeant did not draw and declare. him- self. As the enemy already had fired, he. was no. longer under restraint of that Quixotic slegan. Bonnemort, too, looked puzzled, but evidently took heart from his foe’s re- straint, for he advanced threateningly. Fearing that Seymour would be no match in a rough-and-tumble, ‘Moira tried to press the miner’s gun upon him, but the sergeant waved her back. “Hold off the Siwashes,” he demand- ed.. “This brute has a beating: coming to him.” - Bonnemort advanced with a chortle. of joy, delighted that luck favored him with the respite of physical combat. So many things could happen in a battle of fists: The man-to-man strug- gle was on. After his Initial. rash, which the sergeant cleverly. sidestepped, the breed’s main idea seemed to be to throw his powerful arms about’ his opponent. Bxcept- for _occasional swings, which would have knocked Seymour out had they found their mark, his efforts weré directed to this: end. The sergeant had his Armistice de- “tail to thank for his ability. to evade. The Eskimo of the Aretic foreshore is above avetage height, large muscled and trained by occasional necessity to battle with Polar bears. When box- / ing matches were put on at the de- tachment, in lieu of other diversion, Seymour had acted as instructor. His ‘greatest difficulty ‘had been to break his pupils of “hugging” and to teach them that’a punch was more effective than a clinch any day or where. As 8 result, he was not only trained to but highly practiced in ing out of clinches.- fins gonnemort. fought mort’s fist ha 5 -Klootchmen and braves “had come from all parts of the diggings and stood in an irregular circle, staring in open-eyed wonder at the battle. Moira was having an easy task keeping them back, although she still held the gun ready. No partisan spirit developed. If anything, their grunts at clinches evaded and blows sent home favored the strange, more’ compact. fighter. but the fact that the mission girl spon-: sored him with gun point was enough for them. ‘Bonnemort’s: wind was first to fail him and for an untimed round or two; Seymour played for him with hard punches to the body at. every oppor- tunity. It became clear that - the spoiler’s bulk was more. “beef” than muscle. He was becoming a spec- tacle. _ His rushes lost their force; his swings grew hopelessly. wild; his guard, never effective, entirely. “Punishment. enough for manhand- Wing you?” Seymour asked Moira, as the whirligig of battle brought him facing her. “Yes—yes, he’s paid!” she cried. The sérgeant waded in then, regard- less of the embrace he no longer fear- ed. He beat Bonnemort to his knees. No coup. de grace was necessary, as _MRS.A.A.FOULGER — This Nurse Sends a Message to Every Woma Woman in Canada Brantford, Ont.—"Dur "During twenty-one years of ex; rience at nursing, I not aly r. wees’ Faverite.

The Siwash gallery was beginning to grumble that none’ was delivered when they’ saw the victor produce a pair of handcuffs and snap them on the defeated. one’s wrists, Bonnemort seemed too dazed to no- tice the official trend in the situation, until— “I. arrest you; Harry. Karmack, In the name of the King for the murder of Oliver. O'Malley, gt Armistice, Northwest Territories.” Stunned by the surprise of his cap- ture, turned white by the shock of the unexpected charge, the former factor stared about him wildly. As for Moira O'Matley, the double surprise was almost too-much. Fright ‘had prevented her recognition of the familiar features. of her Northern suitor now that his hair was turned to red; and ali through the hunt, no hint had-come to her from. the close-lipped sleuth of the open places that the man he had sworn to “get” had raised his hand against her brother. CHAPTER XXVI. Boot and Booty “You'd ~ best -behave, © Karmack.” Seymour accented the name of sur- prise that the girl might become con- vinced that their hunt was really done. “Your dyed pate don’t fool me and I’m no longer bound by our slogan of ‘nevy- er fire first.t You took a couple of first shots up in the Arctic, remember, and haye just tried anoiher here. One false -move and you get’ yours.” Karmack stood very stilly “What do you mean by. that murder: talk, Sey- mour?” he asked after a moment in which, evidently; he realized the folly of further denial of identity. “I may have squeezed a little from the grasp- ing oid Aretic to give me a start in British! Columbia, . but.I swear I had nothing to. do with the Sianeling of: young O'Malley.” Moira still seemed puzzled. “I thought—Didn’t the jury say that Avic, the Eskimo—” . She could-not finish for emotion. “It takes two men to use the Ugiuk- line effectively,” Seymour explained to the girl. “T ‘know, for I’ve had one around my own neck and barely broke out of the clutch: | This: fiend hired Avic to help hini put your broth- er away—hired him with promise of a trip. Outside to be tried for murder. Can you imagine! Now it will be ex:Factor Karmack who takes the trip +—Inside.” Karmack moved restless, with the result of tightening the sergeant’s grip. - “But man; what motive: could I possibly have had?”-he begged nery- ously. “What motive?” “From some outside source you learned that O’Malley had been sent to Arnistice to investigate you and you knew that, despite’ your ‘best efforts, he had succeeded in getting the goods. What you didn’t know was: that: al- ready he had sent out | silver fox: company’s 4 Moira ‘seemed to shake herself gether from this blow he had deliver- ed with all possible mercy. - “I don’t exactly understand, friend, but I thank you.” She stepped into the-circle of wondering natives and repeated his orders in Chinook. ’ “But he wears no uniform,” objected one in. English. “He. needs no scarlet tunic;” the girl replied. “He is the law’ This also she repeated ~ their jargon of eS als. On order, Kermack led the way to the tent. ‘Seymour followed close be- hind with his arm supporting Moira, who seemed a bityunsteady-; There was a groan from the pre- tended half-breed when he. saw that the Hd of the. treasure chest was thrown back, “Since when did the Force take to breaking the Jocks of honest men?” he’ snarled. Instead of answering, Seymour slammed down the lid and motioned his old enemy to seat himself. upon the chest. Then he crossed the tent and picked up the tell-tale boot. Re- turning with it, hé made a comparison. “Thought so,” he murmured. There was no need for further measuring and he tossed the gear un- der the table. Karmack had the big- gest-feet he had ever seen. -By no sibility “could one of them have been forced into the boot which he had _|just flung down. g nothing of the footprints ‘Knowing Seymour had found near the scene of Caswell’s killing, Moira O’Malley lJook- ed on at che comparison of boots in mystified silence. Karmack :seemed to have a-better grasp of the reason behind the test. “I’m no murderer,” he muttered, glowering at his captor. “Wait until I get your latest partner, Kluger,” said the sergeat. Seymour seemed on the verge of en- Hghtening Moira when she’ raised a hand of caution. “Listen,” she whis- pered, They heard hoof beats hammering into camp Some one on horseback was coming at speed. The sergeant crossed to the tent front and peered out between the flaps. “Guess we won't have to go for aoe after all,” he said, still peer- ng: Karmack muttered an oath, his’ petulence directed against old lady Luck, who gets the credit for the best and blame for the worst that happens to illogical humans, “Bonnie—Bonnemort! Where are you?” The deep-throated call came from outside, “Where d’you suppose?” Seymour called back in a voice that he hoped would pass for the pretended half- breed’s. He turned to Moira, quietly direet- ing her to crouch behind the treasure chest and keep her gun on the ex-fac- tor, “No more fighting’ with fiste— please!” she begged. “There's no woman in this man’s | the overgrown miner was blubbering | case,” he whispered, and motioned for silence. Phit ‘Brewster Walked into the tent a moment later, amd Seymour realiz- ed it wes the first time “he had seen him on foot. ~The affable freighter stepped with a limp. boob?” Brewster put his question to Karniack glancing about’ the tent. “Thinking it over, perhaps.” — From a point back of Brewster, where he ahd stood unnoticed, Seymour broke in.-before.the pretender could speak for himself, Brewster whirled; and with the move his gun appeared from handy conceaiment. expected some such desperate act and was ready. His left hand caught the freighter’s sight at the wrist and swung it upward. — Brewster’s bullet let a look of blue sky through the can- vas roof, while the muzzle of the Mountie’s revolver prodded the ribs of-his suspect. i The freighter saw fit to obey a command to drop his weap- on. “Sorry T haven't. more bracelets with me,” Seymour’said. “Moira, if you'll -| look “uhder the clothes rack, where I found that boot just now, you’ find a length. of rope.” “What's all. this about; ‘you - high- binder?” Brewster demanded. troduce myself when we met yesterday. and the day béfore. Karmack, there, might tell you that I call myself Sey- mour, sergeant of the Royal Mounted.” “But he’s dead!’ blurted out Brew- ster. “Not that he knows of,”" Seymour yessured him quietly; “But you have a very. good reason for thinking so. Now, it you'll oblige by putting your: hands behind you” When Brewster obeyed, perforce, the sergeant directed Moira to tie the wrists. After he had inspected the suggested that Brewster sit down on one of the cots until they were ready to start back to Gold. The. freighter, in doing so, swung his right leg over his lef tknee. From his. seat on the opposite cot, Seymour saw on the ex- poséd.sole one of the peculiar leather- saving metal plates in which he was so interested—the one that had made its impression in the soil near the scene of the murder. Reaching un- der the table, he retrieved the spare boot he had thrown there and saw that they: matched in every particular. “Just to make everything according to Hoyle, Brewster,” the sergeant said, “I now place you under arrest for the murder of Bart Caswell, alias’ Ser- geant Seymour.” ; Brewster: seemed - stunned at the charge. His eyes, as if by instinct, avoided Seymour's steady gaze. He looked at -the- scowling Karmack, starting slightly at his first glimpse ofthe nickeled wristlets the man wore, : ‘ (To be continued) m,-teoently. by Hl. R.

A few of the volumes, such as the Anglo-Saxon Gos- pels and the Breviary, are under glass. but the most part are of their old chains and may be reached down and read on the desk below the shelves, just as they have been these- mae hundreds of years. - A destructive instinct doesn’t handl- cap a boy; he will make a b eeeene handler.

T. J. J. See, Unit- ed States Gorernment astronomer at Mare Island, Calif., told the Common- wealth Club, San Francisco. Basing his earthquake-voleano theory upon a study of such phenomena since. the San Francisco disaster of 1906, Capt. See has come to the conclusion that. sea floors ‘contain certain “leaks.” Water seeps down through the earth’s erust to merge.with the hot molten tock far below and, by. increasing the volume of the molten mass as well as by the creation of ' steam, sets two mighty forces_at. work altering the contour of the enveloping earth crust. “The molten rock swells,” he said,| “and causes ‘periodic readjustments of the lava’ beneath the crust.

A Strange City Buildings and Wallis of Fachi* Made of Salt : Captain Angus Buchanan, M.C., who récently accomplished a wonderful journey across the Sahara Desert on camel back, describes his yisit to the mysterious City of Fachi, one of the strangest and least known places on the face of the earth. “Imagine,” he writes, “an area of uttér desolation, as large as the whole of°England and Scotland together, in the midst of which, absolutely alone, stands a tiny city of rare and exquisite workmanship containing but one hun- dred souls—a city whose buildings and walls are made of salt! “No bigger than an English village, it is nevertheless a walled town and a citadel, round which the restléss tide of Arab warfare has surged for cen: turies.” : ' Buffalo Shipped To Glasgow A livestock car completely heated was shipped recently over the Cana- dian National Railway containing two buffalo calves, a bull and a cow, des- gow, Scotland.
