j | SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1925 : Published by Arrangement with First National Pictures, Inc., and Frank CHAPTER XVII. (Continued) The tents were up, a big camp- ire was blazing brightly, when Yierce Phillips, burdened with a nige armiul of spruce boughs and ‘inded by the illumination, stepped ‘oo close to the river's rim and felt he soil beneath him crumble away. Down he plunged, amid an ava- lanche of carth and gravel; the last sound he heard before the icy wa’ ers received him was Laure’s af- {righted scream, An instant later he had seized a “sweeper,” to which he clung until help arrived. He was wet to the skin, of course; his teeth were chatt by the time he had -fire, Of the en- tire party, ment to make upon the She stood motionless, leaning support against a tent-pole, her face hidden in her hands. | Best’s song- Lirds were noisily twittering about Pierce; Best himself was congratu- lating the young man upon his abil- im, when Laure spoke, yt y find his dry things, And you, Mosgis, get your While one of the men ran_ for Pierce's duffle-bag, Best came hur, rving with a bottle which he prof- fered to Vierce.

Out of all the trafic that flowed past the dance-hall party, among all the boats they ovarhauled and left behind, Pierce Phillips nowhere rec- ognized the Countess Courteay outfit. Whether she was ahead or whether they had outdistanced her he did not know and inquiry re- arded him with n@ hint. During this journey a significant change gradually came over the yourtg man. Familiarity, a certain ntimacy with companions, taught him much, and in time he rgot to look upon them as pariahs. Best, for instance, proved to be an irritable but good-hearted little He- ev; he developed a genuine fond- s tor Pierce, which he took every jon to show, and Pierce grew shim. The girls, too, opened their hearts and made him feel their friendship. For the most part they were warm, impulsive creatures, and Pierce was amazed to discover how little they differed from the girls he had known at home. Among their faults he discovered uriusual traits of character; there was not alittle kind- iness, gencrosity, and of course much cheerfulness. They were free- ded with what they had; they were ready with a smile, a word of encouragement or of sympathy; they were absurdly grateful, too, for the smallest favor or the least act 5 Urged on by oar and sweep, pro-|sentful of Jc pelled by favoring breezes, the Ar-| the memory of gonauts pressed forward exultantly.|-—nevert At night their roaring camp-fires| come of that cowardly attempt, he | winked at one another like beacon| had no desir¢ for further revenge. | lights along some friendly channel.| It seemed to him that the fellow | Unrolling before them was an end-| had becr less panorama of spruce and birch] his misdeed; Either the man As for Pier found it casy to feel sorry for him | — led | Gh attitude. with snow, of ‘unexplored valleys} had it not been for the ill-conce dark with promise.

All at once she scemed ve r to him, very much a part of himself. His head was spinning now and something within him Mad quickened magically. There was a new note in his voice when he undertook ire his: companion.

The bottle sie gave to Pierce, with 2 re- t to stow it in his baggage for keeping, and that night when inded, cramped and chilly, she prevailed upon hin: to open it and to drink. The experiment worked.

But the inforniation ili cost cisely whgt each of them had paid salon he or was destined to pay for their better understanding of each other they had not the slightest idea. One thing the girl by this time had made ure of, viz when Pierce was his ural self he felt her appeal only faintly. On the other hand, the moment he was not his natural self, the moment his pitch was raised, he saw allurements in her ,and at such times they met on common ground. She made the most of this fact. Pierce longed for some one to whom he could confide his feeling of triumph, but nowhere did he rec- ognize a face. Finally he strolled into one of the larger saloons and gambling-houses, and was content- edly eyeing the scene when he felt a gaze fixed upon him, He turned his head, opened his lips to speak, then. stiffened in his tracks.
