Published by Arrangement with First National Lloyd Productions, Ine;*> CHAPTER VI. (Continued) Phillips eyed the burnt-offering with disfavor, Until just now he -had not known that his employer used tobacco ,and the discovery came as a shock. He had been reared in a close home-circle, there- fore he did not approve of women smoking; in particular he disap- Proved of the Countess, his Count- ¢ss, smoking. After a moment of consideration, however, he asked himself what good reason there could be for his feeling. It was her own affair; why shouldn't a woman smoke if she felt like it? He was surprised at the unexpected liberal- . ity of his attitude. This country was indeed working a change in him; he was broadening rapidly, As a mat- ter of fact, he assured himself, the Countess Courteau was an excep- tional woman; she was quite differ- ent from the other members of her sex and the rules of decorum which obtained for them did not obtain for her. She was one in ten thousand, one in a million. Yes, and he was “her man.” While he was snatching a bit of midnight supper Pierce again heard the name of Kirby mentioned, and a seference to th big game in progress at the Ophir. Recalling Lucky |Broad’s words, he wondered if it were possible that Kirby and his girl were indecd the father and daughter who had applied at the Northern for Shelter. It seemed incredible that a young woman of such apparent re- finement could be a gamblet’s daugh- ter, but if it were true she was not the daughter of a i but. a very notorious one, from general comment. Prompted by curiosity, Pierce drop- ped in at the Ophir on his way back to work. He found the crowded, as usual, but especially so at the rear, where the games were running. When he had edged his way close enough to command a view of the faro-table he discovered that Sam Kirby was, for a fact, the one-armed man he had met durin, the afternoon. He was seated, ani close at his back was the gray-eyed, brown-haired girl with the pleasant voice. She was taking no active part in the game itself except to watch the wagers and the cases care- fully. Now and then her father ad- dressed a low-spoken word to her and she answered with a nod, a smile, or a shake of her head. She was quite at ease, quite at home; she was utterly oblivious to the packed ring of spectators en- circling the table. | the cisui amazed Phillips. He was shocked; he was mildly angered and mildly amused at the false im- jon this young woman had given. It seemed that his judgment of female types was exceedingly poor “Who is Mr. Kirby? of his nearest neighbor. “Big sport. He's rich—or he was; I heard he just lost a string of race- horses. He makes a fortune and he spen it overnight. He's on his way ‘inside’ now with a big saloon outfit. That's Letty, his girl.” Another man laughed under his breath, saying: Sam won't bet a nickel unless she’s with him. He’s superstitious.” “I guess he has reason to be. She's his rudder,” the first speaker explained. Mr. Kirby rapped sharply upon the table with the steel hook that served as his left hand, then, when a waiter cleared a passageway through the crowd, he mutely invited the house employees to drink. The dealer de- clined, the lookout and the case- keeper ordered whiskey, and Kirby signified by a nod that the same would do for him. But his daugh- ter laid a hand upon his arm. ie argued with her briefly, then he shrugged and changed his order. “Make it a cigar,” he said, with a smile. “Boss's orders.” There was a ripple of laughter. “Sam’s a bad actor when he's drinking,” one of Pierce’s inform- ants told"him. “Letty keeps him retty straight, but once in a while ie gets away. When he does—oh, boy!” feng after he had returned to his / tasks the memory of that still-faced girl in the foul, tobacco-laden at- {mosphere of the gambling-hall re- mained to both Pierce Phillips; he could not get over his amazement _ and his annoyance at mistaking her § for a—well,for a good girl. ©) Early in the morning, when he wearily went forth in quest of f breakfast and a bed, he learned that \/jthe game at the Ophir was still go- % ing on. Sy “I want you to hire enough pack- ers to take this stuff over in one trip—two at the most. Engage all pyou can. Offer any price.’ The ‘Countess was speaking. She had snatched a few hours’ sleep and was tnow back at the hotel as fresh er. ‘You must take more rest,” Pierce told her. “You'll wear your- If out at this rate.” She smiled brightly and Shook her head, but he persisted. “wo back 0 sleep ork. I'm strong; He.’ “Nor me, I'll rest when we get o ‘Dawson. Have those packers re day after tomorrow morning.” There were numerous freighters Dyea, outfits with animals, too, me of them, but inquiry deyeloped fact that none were free to ac- Sept a contract of this size at such hort notice, therefore Pierce went the Indian village and asked for e chief. Failing to over the he began a tent-to-tent le so engaged he McCaske he inquired MANDAN NEWS ‘Work is progressing rapidly at the orthern Pacific pumping — station Brtheast of the city where a new exvoir, twice the capacity of the and .ét me attend to the | j, ing tires Pictures, Inc.,-and Frank | had taken him ix without question. Overcoming his first impulse to; quietly withdraw, Pierce bent down to the fellow and with genuine pity: “I’m sorry for you, Joe. Is there anything I can do?” McCaskey stared up at him wild- ly; then a light of recognition kin- died in his black eyes. It changed ! to that baleful gleam of hatred. His | hair lay low upon his forehead and through it he glared. His face was covered with a smut of beard which | made him even more repellant. w “I thought you were Jim,” he croaked. “But Jim’s—dead.” “You're sick. Can I help you? Do you want money or—” “Jim's dead,” the man repeated. “You killed him! . “I? Nonsense. Don’t talk—” “You killed him. You!” McCas- key’s unblinking stare become posi- | tively venomous . . .” \ “You killed him. You!” McCas- key's unblinking stare became posi tively venomous; he showed hi teeth in a frightful grin. “You killed him, But there's more of us. Plen We'll get you.” He appeared to derive a ferocious en- Joyment from his threat, for he dwelt upon it. He began to curse his visitor so foully that Pierce backed out of the tent and let the flap fall. It had been an unwelcome; encounter; it left an unpleasant taste in his mouth, 2 As he went on in search of the! village shaman he heard Joe mut-: tering: “Jim’s dead! Dead! Jim's dead!” CHAPTER VII Sam Kirby's outfit was one of the. largest, one of the costliest and one of the most complete that had ever, been landed on the Dyea beach, for, Kirby was a man who did things’ in a large way. He was a plunger;: he had Jong since become case-' hardened ‘to risks: and he knew how! to weigh probabilities; hence the fact that -he had staked his all upon. ne throw, did not in the least, dis-| turb him, Most men are successful in direct Proportion to their ability to select and retain capable assistants. For- tune had favored Sam Kirby by pre- senting him h a daughter whose caution and good sense admirably supplemented his own best qualities, ;WE WANT TWO Representati THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Tribune Classified Advertisements MALZ HELP ‘WANTED YOUNG MEN—$18 to $35 per week while training for RADIO’ and TELEGRAPH positions paying $150 to $300 per month to start.

This Danny Royal was all things. He could take any shift in a gambling- house, he was an accomplished fixer, he had been a jockey and had han died the Kirby string of horses. He was a miner of sorts, too, having superintended the Roulctta Mine during its bi and prosperous his- tory; as a trainer he was without a peer. He had made book on many tracks; he it was who had broughe out the filly Rouletta, Sam Kirby’s best-known thoroughbred, and “mopped ae with her. Both mine and mare Danny had named after Kirby's girl, and under Danny's management both had been quick producers. All in all, Royal was considered by those who knew him best as a master of many trades and a Jack of none. He was an irre- ligious man, but he possessed a code which he lived We to strictly; epitc- mized it ran as follows, “Sam Kir- by’s will be done!” He believed in but one god, and that Rouletta Kir- by_was his profit. . Equipped with the allegiance o! such‘a man as Royal, together with; several tons of high-proof. spirits, a! stock of case-goods and cigars,! some gambling paraphernalia, and a; modérate bank roll with which to, furnish the same, old Sam felt. safe in setting out for any country whet gold was mined and where the trails were new. t OF course he took his daughter with him. Sooner than leave her behind he would have severed his remaining hand. Rouletta and Agni they constituted the foundation up-, ‘on which the Kirby fortunes rested, first impressing upon ‘him certain: comprehensive and explicit instruc. tions; then he and Rouletta i Agnes went up.the trail and over the Chilkoot. Somehow, betweer the three of them, they intended to have a scow built and ready when Danny landed the last pound ‘of merchandise at Linderman.
