You are men that would do honor to any family, to any society in Philadelpbia or any- where else.” “Lord love ye,” drawled Kirkby, his ! eyes twinkling. “There ain't no three : men on the Atlantic seaboard that kin { match up with two of us yere, tc say ! nothin’ of the third.” “Well,” said Robert Maitland, “the ! thing now is to decide on what's to be ' done.” | “My plan,” said Armstrong, “is to go to the old camp. | “Yep," said Kirkby, “that's a good point of deeparture, as my seafarin’ fa- ther down Cape Cod way used to say; ! an’ wot's next?” | “I am going up the canon instead of down,” said the man, with a flash of inspiration. ! “That ain't no bad idea, nuther” assented the old man. “We looked the ground over pretty thoroughly down the canon. thing up it.” “And what do you propose to take with you?"' asked Maitland. “What we can carry on the backs of men, We will make a camp some- ' where about where you did. We can get enough husky men up at Morrison who will pack in what we want, and with that as a basis we will explore the up- per reaches of the range." “And when do we start?" “There is a train for Morrison in two hours” answerad Armstrong, “We can get what we want in the way of sleeping bags and equipment hetween now and then, if we hurry about it.” “Ef we ure goin® to do it, we might ' as well git & move on us,” assented | Kirkby, making ready 1o go “Right,” answered Robert Maitland grimly. “When three men set out to make fools of thewselves, the sooner Mebbe we can find somo—i they get at it and get over with it the better. I've got some busi- ness matters 10 settle, You two get what's needed, and I'll bear my share.” A week later a little band of men on snow shoes, wrapped In furs to their eyes, every one heavily burdened with & pack, staggered into the clearing where once had been pitched the Mait. land camp. The place was covered with snow, of course, but on a shelf of rock half way up the hogback, they found a comparatively level clearing, and there, all working like beavers, they built & rude hut which they cov- ered with canvas and then with tight- ly packed snow, and which would keep the three who remained from freezing to death. Fortunately they were favored with a brief period of pleasant weather, and a few days served to make a sufficiently habitable camp. Maitland, Kirkby and Arm- strong worked with the rest. There was no thought of search at first: their lives depended upon the erection of a suitable shelter, and it was not until the helpers, leaving their burdens be- hind them, had departed, that the three men even considered what was to be done next. “We must begin a systematic search tomorrow,” said Armstrong decisive- ly, as the three men sat around the cheerful fire in the hut. “Yes,” assented Maitland 80 together, “Separately, of course. hardy a is apt to happen to us bere every day's work by?"* The old man had been quietly smok- ing while the talked He smiled at them in a way which aroused their curiosity and made them feel that he had news for them. “While you was puttin' the finishin’ touches on this yere camp, I come acrost a heap o' stuns that somehow the wind had swept bare, there was & big rift in front of it which kep' us from seein’ it afore; it was built up in the open w'ere there was no trees, an’ in our lumberin' operations we “Shall we or separately?

[ came acrost it by any chance an—" “Well, for God's sake, old man,” cried Armstrong, impatiently, “what did you find, anything?" “This,” answered Kirkby, carefully producing a folded scrap of paper from his leather vest. Armstrong fell on it ravenously, ard as Maitland bent to him, they both read these words by the firelight. “Miss Enid Maitland, whose foot is 80 badly crushed as to prevent her | traveling, is safe in a cabin at the head ! of this canon.

Ef it should be snowin’ in the mornin’ we'd have to wait until it cleared.” “lI won't wait a minute,” said Arm- strong. ‘“‘At daybreak, weather or no weather, I start.” “What'’s your hurry, Jim?” continued Kirkby, calmly. “The gal's safe; one day more or less ain't goin' to make no difference.” “She's with another man,” answered Armstrong ‘quickly. “Do you know this Newbold?" ask: ed Maitland, looking at the note again. “No, not personally, but | have heard of him.” “1 know him," answered Kirkby quickly, “an’ you've seed him too, Bob; he's the feller that shot his wife, that married Louise Rosser.” | “I'hat man!"” i “The very same.” “You say you ney urged Arm- ¢ saw him, Jim?" | asked Maitland | “l repeat I never met him," said | Armstrong, flushing suddenly; “but [ knew him wife.

When the others woke up in the morning Armstrong's sleeping bag was empty. Kirkby crawled out of his own warm nest, opened the door and peer- ed out into the storm. “Well," he said, “I guess the damn fool has beat God this time. It don't “What Do You Mean?"
