Sometimes they would play through the records, and so well had Bill made his selections that she Rever tired of them, Bhe had her lonesome hours, but not 8o many as she had expected, ‘When time hung heavy on her hands she would take out one of the old zinea that Bill had brought up 1 on the winter nights, She had abundant health. perience seemed to build her up, rather than injure her. Her muscles developed, she breathed deep of the eold mountain air, and she had more energy than she could easily spend. fought away the tendency to grow careless in dress or appearance. She Kept her few clothes clean and mended, she dressed her hair as care- fully as in her city home. Their cabin life was redeemed by their frequent excursions into the wild. The study of Nature was con- stantly more absorbing to the girl. In these excursions Virginia learned to use her pistol with remarkable ac- curacy. Her strength increased; she could follow wherever Bill led They did not forget their graver business. ver Virgiia kept wateh for a track that was hot an animal track, a blaze on a tree not made by the teeth of porcupine or grizzly, a charred cooking rack over the ashes of a fire. But as yet they had found no sign of human wayfarers other than themselves. Bill never ceased to search for his mine. He looked for blazes, too; for a sign of an old camp or a pile of washings beside a stream. When he found an open stream he would wash the gravel, and it seemed to him he combed the entire region hetween the two little tributaries of Grizzly River indicated on his map. But with the deepening snow search was ever more difficult. Unlike Virginia, he was al- most ready to give uv, Every day winter strengthened its shackles, But now the snowshoe frames were done, wrought from tough spruee, and the moose hide cut into thongs and stretched across to make the webs. For a few days Bill and Vir- ginia had been captives in the cabin, and they held high revels in celebra- tion of their completion. Now they could go forth into the drifts again. It did not mean, however, that the time was ripe for them to take their sled and mush into Bradleyburg. The snow was still too soft for long jaunts. Came a clear, icy night, and the Northern Lights were more vivid and beautiful than ever. Bill thought Virginia was watching their display: if he had known the real subject of her thoughts, he would not have come and stood in the doorway with her. “We're not the only ones to see it,"” Virginia told him softly “Somewhere I think—TI feel—that Harold is watch- ing it, too. Somewhere over this snow." “Won't you find him for me, Bill?" she cried. “You are so strong, so capable—you can do anything, any- thing you try. Won't you find him and bring him back to me?” The man looked down at her, and his face was ashen. VIIIL. One clear, icy night a gale sprang up in the east, and Virginia and Bill fell to sleep to the sound of its com- plaint. And when Bill went forth for his morning’s woodcutting he found that his snowshoes did not break through the crust. The wind had blown and the drifts during the night. This permitted him to make a dash over to a certain stream further down toward the Yuga river in search of any sign of the lost mine. When about two miles from the cabin he saw, through a rift in the distant treces, a human trail in the Snow. Ie stood a moment in the torn by an inner struggle. All his fondest hopes, his dreams, all the inner guardians of his own happiness told him to kéep his scarch, to journey on his way and forget he had seen the tracks. Every desire of Self spoke in warning to him. But Bill Bronson-had a higher law than self. Long ago, in front of the ramshackle hotel in Bradleyburg, he had given a promise—to find Harold Lounsbury! He turned and went over to inves- tigate the tracks. He followed swiftly down the trail, anxious to know his fate at the first possible instant. He saw that the trail was fresh, made that morning; he had every reason to think that he could overtake the man who had made it within a few hours. He did not catch up with the traveler in the snow. But shortly aft- er the noon hour his keen: eyes saw a wisp of smoke drifting through the trees, and his heart leaped in his breast. He pushed on, emerging all at once upon a human habitation. It was a lean-to rather than a cabin. A fire smouldered in front. And his heart leaped with indescribable rellef when he saw that neither of the two HATY % The ex- crusted drifts, men% and N. E.

His lips were loose, his eyes |nervous and bright. Tere wa one hold quite steac Here was one that the wilderness had crushed in its | brutal grasp. This did not mean that his health | was wasted. His body was strong and |trim; except for a suspicious network jof red lines in his cheeks and a yel- |low tinge to the whites of his eyes, | he would have seemed in superb phys- |ical condition. The evidence lay rather in the ex- pression of his face, and most of all in the surroundings in which he lived. He was utterly unkempt and slo- venly. His coarse beard covered his lips, his matted hair was dull with dirt, his skin was scarcely less dark than that of the Indians themselves. The nails on his hands were foul; the floor of the house was cluttered with rubbish and filth. Yet leering through his degeneracy, his identity could not be mistaken, Here was the man Virginia pierced the North to seek. “What do you want?” he asked. “You're Lounsbury, of course,” Bill answered. Sure, 1 ask you again—what you want?" “You've been living on the Yuga. You came up here to trap my terri- tory." TLounsbury allies—Pete and Joe. I did?” “You knew I trapped here. You brought up Joe Robinson and a breed with you. You meant to clean up this winter—all the furs in the country.” Harold’s face drew in a scowl. nd what are you goin’ to do about it?" “The queer thing is—" and Bill spoke quietly, slowly, “I'm not going to do anything about it—now. I didn't come to see you about trapping. I came—about Virginia Tremont.” “Virginia!” he cried. “My what do you know about her? All at once he looked, with an an- noyance and anxicty that at first Bill could not understand, toward the door of the cabin. An Indian squaw—for all her filth and untidiness a fair representative of her breed—pushed twrough the door and came stolidly inside. Bill's face stern as the gray cliffs of the Selkirks when he turned in to Harold. *“Is that your wom- he asked simply. Harold shrugged. ‘“One marry squaws,” he replied. “I came to find Harold Lounsbury, a gentleman,” Bill went on in the see its his stanch H remembered “And what God, doesn't —a squaw man.” (Continued in Our Next Issue). GEORGE FROEBA HELD INNOCENT (Continued From First Page) and not at the numbers called for in the warrant. The evidence was with- drawn temporarily by the prosecutor. oeba Iixplains IFroeba ventured the opinion the society that nsed the hall the pre- vious night had left it, or that it was the property of the janitor. The place has been under observa- tion for several weeks. At one time the officer was present when Froeba and several men went into the room where the whiskey was found, he tes- tified. On cross-examination, Judge W. 1. Mangan attempted to bring out that the room in which the stuff was found is separate and distinct from the part of Turner hall occupied by I'roeba. Glasses Still Wet Policeman Ieeney described manner in which the liquor found. Two glasses still damp and smelling of whiskey were taken. Dur- ing the raid at least 50 men came in, stayed around about two minutes and went out, the witness said. It was between 5:30 and 6 o'clock.
