Among forwards, A. B. Wi:eon of Standard No, 1, holds a comfort- able lead over Rynalsk! of Standard No. 3. Traylor of the Methodists, the leading foul shooter of the c'!rcuit, in third place, Houston of Stancnrd No. 1 has displaced Robertson of the Backlogs in fourth piace. Robertson was absent from one game his team played last week. Tobias of the Legion made a good spurt, coming from 25th place to 13th in the last two weeks. Clowry of the Elks leads the centers as he has since the league opened. Giffin of the Methodists fs his closest opponent and Allsman of the Baptists has taken third place away from Westgaard of the Texas. Kirk ts farther out than ever In the van of the guards his work hav- Ing done much to put Standard No. 1 at the top of the league. Schaefer of the Presbyterians, Erickson and Kide of Standard No. 3 and Reimerth of the Elks are among the leaders.

The Lady of North Star’ BY OTTWELL BINNS, AUTHOR OF “A MATING IN TFE WILDS.” INSTALLMENT NO.'ELEVEN, WHO’ WHO Joy Gargrave, daughter of wealthy Canadian, {s visiting in Eng- land when she is enticed into a hasty marriage with Dick Bracknell, son of Sir James Bracknel!. A wild youth, he sells the secret of an army gun to a fore'gn government and is forced to flee from the country. Going to northwest Canada he becomes known as ‘‘Koona Dick"? and is wanted by the govern- ment for selling liquor to the Indians. Roger Bracknell, his cousin, follow- ing differences with his uncle, Sir James, over the latter's matrimonial plans for him, goes to Canada and becomes a corporal in the Northwest Mounted Potice. He is assigned the task of fjnding Koona Dick. Near North Star Lodge. Joy’s home, he hears two shots and finds Dick lying on the ground. He sees Joy near by with a rifle. Believing him dead Roger goes on to the Lodge, He is met there by Adrian Rayner, who {s a guest at the Lodge and is a son of Sir Joseph Rayner, Joy's lawyer in England, who later persuades her to sign certain papers. At the Lodg Roger Bracknell “hears for the first time that Koona Dick is his cousin— he had not recognized him as he had grown a beard—and learns of Joy’s marriage which has been kept a sec- ret. Roger is convinced that Joy did not shoot Dick. Upon returning to the place where he had left Dick, he finds that the “body” has disappear- ed. He was wounded but carried away by his Indian servant, Joe, Roger Bracknell starts out in pursutt and catches up with his cousin. The latter, covering him with a gun, forces him to give his word not co attempt h's capture; takes a'l Roger's dogs but three and drives away. Roger's dogs die of poisoning and while he {s walking back a tree falls and breaks his leg. Chief Louis, head of a ‘ribo of In- dians finds and takes care of Roger. He tells him that the death cf Joy's father was not an accident, as has keen supposed, but that the tce on the River on which he was traveling had been blown up by a strange white man, Meantime the death of Geof frey Braeknell, Dick's brother, oc curs.

Dick is very {ll and having heard Joy's |story has made peace. Jim, George's son, escapes and tells Roger of the attack, Roger arrives to find all— besieged and beslegers—gone. ‘When Dick Bracknell had led the way from the cabin he new that he was leading a forlorn hope. They had lttle food, he himself was a very sick man, and in the woods wild beasts and wild men might lurk. All this he knew, but braced himself for the task before him, determined at all costs to save the two girls and to win Joy's respect if that was at all possible.

Perhaps—" He took a step forward. “What are you going to do?” in- quired Joy sharply. “To try what a Iittle explanation will do,” he answered. C she replicd quickly. “You are go'ng to make a bargain with “Some- those men. I know you are, and I shall not agree. We stand or fall together."” “Do you think you are wise?” asked. “I do not now whether I am wise or not,” she answered firmly. “But I keep the faith of the trail, and I shall not leave you in the lurch. Neither will Babette, I am sure.” The Indian leader addressed him- self to Dick Bracknell, who nodded and then handed over his pistol and hunting knife. “Keep your pistol out of sight, Joy. We may yet find it very useful. They demanded that we accompany them up the river. he yet. Presently arrived at an encamp- ment consisting of perhaps a score of tepees.

He is a ferocious old beast, and he owes me one.” Then the Shaman though she did not understand a Joy shuddered. ‘The Shaman laughed as he broke off, a throaty, croaking laugh, seemed unutterably evil. “What did that old savage say to you, D ck?” Bracknell laughed shortly. “Oh, he was promis'ng himself pleasure and me pain, indeed my pain was to be his p'easure."” You mean they are going to spoke, I fancy! tribe is in luck.
