They had been under way for five or six hours when the tardy day- iqght came, but even thercafter: Doret continued to run with his . hand upon his sled. Seldom did he and then only for a moment or two when the going was: best. For the most part he maintained a steady, swinging trot that kept pace with the pattering feet ahead of him ind caused the miles rapidly to drop behind. Through drifts knee-deep, through long, soft stretches he held to that unfaltering stride; occasion- ally he turned his head and flashed a smile or waved his hand at the man behind. Along about ten o'clock he halted his team where a dead spruce. over- hung the river-bank.

The laugh would be on us,” “Dey come. dis: way,” stoutly maintained, Soon a blaze was going; then, while the ice in the blackened tea bucket was imelting, the drivers sliced a slab of bacon ‘into’ small cubes and fed’ it’ sparirgly: to their imals, after which they carefully examined the dogs’ feet and cleaned them of ice and snow pellets. The tea was guiped, the hardtack swallowed, and the. travelers were under way again almost before their sweaty bodies liad begun to chill. On they hurried, mile after mile, sweeping past bends, cagerly, hope- fully: scanning every empty tangent that opened up ahead of them. They made fast time indeed, but the im- mensity of the desolation through which they passed, the tremendous scale upon which this country had heen molded, anade their progress seem slower. than an ant-crawl. Eventually“Poleon shouted some- thing and pointed Yo the trail under- foot. Rock fancied he could detect the faint, fresh markings of sled runners, but into them he could nat read much significance. It was an “encouragement, to be sure, but, nev- értheless, he still: had, doubts, and tltose doubts: were nat ‘dispelled un- til Doret again halted his team, this ‘INSTALMENT: Tee ENE a ee ee *Poleon a “rien (DEATH RATE ‘Tokyo—The death rate of infants |r ison the increase in Japan.

Dey run- nin’ so tas’ dey can.” Forty Milc, so called because the river of that name enters the Yukon forty miles above the Boundary, Was a considerable camp prior to the Dawson boom, but thereafter it had languished, and this winter it s all but deserted. So, too, was Cudahy, the rival trading-post a hali-mile below. It was on the bars of this stream that the earliest pion- cers had first found gold. Here at its mouth, during the famine days before the steamboats came, th ad cached their supplies; here they had brewed their hootch in the fail and held high carnival to celebrate their good luck or to drown their il-fortune, Rock and his companion pulled up the bank and in among the window- less cabins during the aiternoon; they had halted their dogs beiore the Mounted Police station, only to tind the building locked and cold. The few iaithful Forty-Milers who came out to echange greetings ex- plained that both occupants of the barracks had gone down-river to succor some: sick Indians. » Rock was disgusted, but his next question elicited information that cheeredkhim. Yes, a pair of strangers had just passed through, one of heavy-set, fellow, with black eyes and a stormy de- meanor. They had come fast and they had tarried only long enough ed their dogs aid to make some quirics. Upon Icarning that the local police were on the main river somewhere below, they had held a consultation and then had headed up the Forty Mite, “Up Forty Mile?” Rock eried, in sury “Are you sure?” “We seen ’em go,” his informant declared. “That's what made us think there was something wrong. That's why we been on the lookout for you. We figgered they. was on the dodge and hard pressed; but we couldi't do nothing about it. You see, it's only about twenty-three miles to the Line up Forty Mile. Down the Yukon it's forty. ‘They been gone mos' two hours, now.” “What do you want ’em for?” an- other bystander inquired. “Murder,” Kock exciaimed, short- Iy; then he heaved his sled into mo- tion ofce more, for ‘’Poleon had started his. team and was making off through the town. Down into the bed of the smaller stream the s| Pursuess made their way and up this they turned. Again they urged their dogs into arun. It took some effort to maintain a gallopii now, for the teams were tiring, after some mental calculations Rock shook his head doubtfully. . Of course, his quarry was at a: disad- vantage, there being two men to one sled, but—twenty-three miles, with a two-hour start! It was altogether too great a handicap. The, lieuten- ant had figured on that last forty miles, the last five or ten, in fact, but this change of direction had up- set all his plans and his estimates. Evidently the McCaskeys cated not, how or where they crossed the Line, so long as they crossed it Ge uickly | « and got Canadian territory behind them. Barring accident, therefore, which was extremely unlikely, Rock told himself regretiully that they were_as good.as gone. Two hours! It was too much, On the other hand, he and ’Poleon now had a fresh trail to follow, while the flee- ing brothers had unbroken snow ahead of them, and that meant that they must take turns ahead of their dogs. Then, too, fifty miles over drifted traits at this Season of the year was a heavy day's work, and the McCaskeys must be very "tired by now, for neither was in the best ag condition. In the spring, when the snows were. wet and sled run- ners ran as if upon greasc, such a jougney would have been no great effort, but in this temperature the steel ‘shoes creaked and a man’s muscles did not work freely. Men|¥ had been known:to play out unex- pectedly. After all, there was a pos- sibility of pulling “them down, and as long as. there was‘that possibility the Mounted Policeman refused to quit. . Rock assured himself that this flight “had established one thing, at least, and that was Pierce Phillips’ innocence of the Courteau killing. The murderers were here; there could be no doubt of it. Their fran- tic, haste confessed: their guilt. Friendship for the boy, pride in his own reputation, the memory of that, ovation he had received upon teav-| ing, gave the officer new strength and determination, so he shut his teeth and .spurred his rebellious limbs into swifter action.
