Nor were his subsequent attempts more successiul, Alter a final ignomini- ous failure he sat where he had fetched up and ruefully took stock ot the damage he had done himself. Seriously he announced: “I was mistaken. Women are en- titled to vote—they're entitled to anything. I’ve learned something: else, too—Mr, Newton's interesting little theory is all wrong; falling bodies travel sixteen miles, not six- teen , the first second,” The girl demanded her skees, and, without rising, Pierce surrendered them; then he looked on admiringly while she attached them to her fect and went zigzagging up the hill to a point much higher than the one from which he had dared to venture. Je a very pretty picture, he edged, tor she was vivid with youth and color, She was lithe, and strong and confident, too; she wes vibrant with the healthy vigor of the out-of-doors. She descended with a terrific rush, and this time she took the air with grace and certainty. She cleared a very respectable distance and rico- cheted safely down the landing- slope. Pierce applauded her with enthue eautiiul!

He It cheated because they had not met, for she was the sort of girl he y at home, the sort who din chings and in whom he Despite all his recently nired wisdom, in this short hour had made him over into a boy and somehow or otner UL a sreeable. Never had he seen a girl so cool, so can- did, so refreshingly unconscious and unaffected as this one. She was as limpid as a pool of glacier water; her placidity, he imagined, had never be stirred, and in that fact lay much of her fascination. With her skees slung over her shoulder, the girl strode along. be- side Phillips, talking freely on vari- ous topics, but with no disposition ter. Her mind was alert, in- quisitive, and yet she had that thoughtful gravity of youth, wis- dom coming to life. That Pierce had made a good impression upon ler she implied at parting by voic- ing a sincere hope that they would meet again very soon, “Perhaps I'll sce you. at the next dance,” she suggested. “Dance!” The word struck Pierce unpleasantly. aturday night, at the Barracks.” “I'd love to come,” he declared. “Do. They're loads of fun. All the nice people go.” With a nod and ‘a smile she was, gone, Icaving him to realize that he did not even know her name. Well, that was of no moment; Dawson was a small place, and—Saturday was not far off. He had heard about those official parties at the Barracks and he made up his mind to secure an invitation: sufficiently formal to permit him to attend the very next one, His opportunity came that night when one of the younger Mounted Police officers paused to exchange grectings with him. - Lieutenant Rock was_a familiar figure on’ the streets of Dawson and on the trails near by, a tall, upstanding Canadian with a record for unfailing: good’ humor and relentless efficiency. H noddéd at Pierce's casual reference to the coming dance at Headquar- ters. “Great sport,” said he. “It’s about the only chance we fellows have to x Wien ‘no invitation to: share, in the treat was forthcoming Pierce told;of meeting a most attractive girl that afternoon, and, having ob- tained his hearer's interest, he de- scribed the youthful goddess.of. the snows with more than necessary-en- thusiasm, He became aware of a peeuiine expression upon 5 lace. “Yes. I know her well,” the lat- ter: said; quietly, ‘‘D'you meam to say she invited you to the ball?” “It wasn’t exactly an invitation—” “Ohl Isee, Well’—Rock shook his head positively—“there’s noth- ing doing, old man. It isn’t your kind of a party. “Understand?” “I—don't understand,” Pierce con- fessed in genuine surprise. The officer eyed him-with a cool, disconcerting directness. “We draw the lines pretty close—have to in a camp like this, _No-offense, I trust.” With a smile and a careless wave of sUSTAIMENT FORTY HOTEL CHANGES HANDS Tuttle—Ed, Morse, who for the past year has been landlord of: the loca hotel, has decided to discontinue the } Lloyd Productions, Inc. the hand he moved on, leaving Nierct to stare after him until he was swallowed up by the crowd in the gambling-room. A blow in the face would not have amazed. Pierce Phillips more, nor would it have more greatly angered him. So, he was ostracized! These men who treated him with such ap- parent good-fellowship really de- spised him; in their eyes he was a renegade; they considered him wt fit to know their women. It was incredible! This was the first deliberate slight the young man had ever received. His face burned, his pride withered under it; he would have bitten out his tongue rather then subject him- self to such a rebuff. Who was Rock? How dared he? Rock knew the girl, oh yest But he refused to mention her name—as if that name would be sullied by his, Pierce's, use of it. That hurt most of all; that was the bitterest pill. Society! Caste! On the Arctic Circlet It was to laugh! But Phillips could not laugh. He could more easily have cried, or cursed, or raved; even to pretend to laugh off such an affront was im- possible. It required no more than this show of opposition to fan the embers of his flickering desire into full flame, and, now that he was for- bidden to meet that flying goddess, it seemed to him that he must do so at whatever cost. He'd go to that dance, he decided, in spite of Rock; he'd go unbidden; he'd force his way in if needs be. This sudden ardor died, however, as quickly as it had been born, leav- ing him cold with apprehension. What would happen if he took the bit in his teeth? Rock knew about Laure—those detestable redcoats knew pretty much everything that went on beneath the surface of Dawson life-and if Pierce ran counter to the fellow’s warning he would probably speak out. Rock was just that sort. His methods were direct and forceful. What then? Pierce cringed inwardly at the contemplation. That snow-girl was so clean, so decent, so radically different fromr all that Laure stood for, that he shrank from associating them together even in his thoughts. Well, he was paying the fiddler, and the price was high. Even here on the fringe of the frontier society exacted penalty for the breach of its conventions. Pierce's rebellion at this discovery, his resentment at the whole situation, prevented him from properly taking the lesson to heart. The issue was clouded, too, by a wholly natural ‘effort at self-justifi- cation, The more he tried this lat- ter, however, the angrier he became and the more humiliating seemed his situation, He was in no mood to calmly withstand another shock, especially when that shock was administered by Joe McCaskey, of all persons; nevertheless, it came close upon the heels of Rock’s insult. Pierce had not seen either brother since their departure for Hunker Creek, therefore Joe's black visage leering through: the “vindow of the cashier's cage was an unwelcome surprise, “Hello, Phillips! making it?” “AIL right. Despite this gruffness, Joe's grin widened. There was nothing of Pleasure at the meeting, nor of friendliness behind: it, however. On the contrary, it masked both malice and triumph, as was plain when he ‘asked: “Did you hear about our strike?” “What strike?” : “Why, it’s all over town! Frank and.I hit pay in our first shaft— three feet of twenty-cent dirt.” “Really?” Pierce could not re- strain: a movement of surprise. Joe nodded. and chuci:led, mean- while keeping his malignant gaze |focused upon the younger man’s face. “It’s big. We came to town to. buy grub and a dog-team and to hire a crew of hands. We've got credit at the A. C, Company up to fifty thousand dollars.” There was a brief pause which Pierce broke by inquiring, as casu- ally as he could: - “Did Tom and Jerry have any luck?” “Sure thing! They’ve hit it, the same as us. . You tossed off a home- stake, kid. Don’t believe it, eh? ‘Well, here's the proof—coarse gold from Hunker.” With an ostentious flourish the. speaker flung. down a half-filled poke, together with a:bar| check. “Cash me in, and don’t let any of it stick to your fingers.” Pierce’ was impelled to hurl the gold sack at Joe’s head, but he re- strained himself. His -hands were} shaky, however, atd when; he untied; the thongs he was mortified at spill- How are you the man inquired, ing some of the precious yellow par- ticles. Mortification changed toanger when the owner cried, sharply: “tTey! Got cashier's ague, have you? Just cut out the sleight-of- hand!” j Pierce smothered a retort; silently { he brushed the dust back into the} x blower and set the weights upon his scales. But McCaskey ran on with | an insulting attempt at. banter: “I’m onto you short-weighers, Take your ‘bit out of the drunks; | I'm sober.” i When Pierce had.retied the sack! and returned it he looked up and into Joe’s face. His own was white, his eyes were blazing. “Don’t pull any more comedy here,” he said, quictly. “That sho weight joke doesn’t go at the alto” “Oh, it don't? Joke!” McCas- key snorted. “I s’pose it's a joke to spill dust—when you can't get away with it. Well, I’ve spotted a lot of crooked cashiers in this town.” “No doubt. It takes a thief toj catch a thief.” McCaskey started. His sneer van-| ished. “Thief! Say—” he blus- tered, angrily. “D’you mean—" The clash, brief as it had been, had excited attention, Noting the fact that an audience was gathering, the} speaker lowered his voice and, thrusting his black, scowling goun- tenance closer to the cage opening, he said: “You needn't remind me of anything. I've got a good mem- ory. Damn’ good!” After a mo- ment he turned his back and moved away. When Pierce went off shift he looke’ up Lars Anderson and re- ceived confirmation of the Hunker! strike. Lars was in a boisterous mood and eager to share his tri- umph, “I knew that was a rich piece of ground,” he chuckled, “and I knew I was handing those boys a good thing. But a fellow owes something to his friends, doesn’t he?” “I thought you said it was low| FOR SALE grader” - “Low grade!” Big Lars threw back his head and laughed loudly. “I never said nothing of the kind. Me knock my own ground? Why, I'd have banked my life on Hunker!” , ‘Toward the close of the show Laure found him braced against the bar; the face he turned upon her_ was cold, repellent. When she urged him to take her to supper he ’ shook his head. “What's the quired. “Big Lars never told you Hunker was low grade,” he declared. The girl flushed; she tossed her dark head defiantly. “Well, what wt it?” ’ “Simply this—Tom and Jerry and the McCaskeys have struck rich pay.” “Indeed?” “You lied to me.” Laure’s lips parted slowly in a smile. “What did you expect? What would any girl do?” She laid a caressing hand upon his arm. “I don’t care how much they make ort how poor you are—” Pierce disengaged her grasp. “I care!” he cried, roughty. “I've lost my big chance. They’ve made their piles and I'm—well, look at me.” “You blame me?” He stared at her for a moment. “What's the difference whether, I blame you or myself? I’m through, I've been through for some time, but—this is curtain.” A “Pierce!” Impatiently he flung her off and strode out of the theater. Laure was staring blindly after him when Joe McCaskey spoke to her. - “Have a dance?” he inquired. She undertook to answer, but her lips refused to frame any words; silently she shoak her head. matter?” she in- “What's the idea?
