Sometimes he found them at once, often he had to go on his hands and knees and start to circle. Then, finding the trail, he would mush on for five steps more, Oh, the way was cruel! He could not see to avoid the stinging lash of the spruce needles, the cruel blows of the branches. Already the attempt began to partake of a quality of night- mare. He could not judge distance or time. Already it scemed to him that he had been upon the journcy endless hours He didn't know how far he had come. The only thought he had left was always to count his terrible steps, and count five more. On and on, through the long hot But the fight was almost done. haustion and hunger, but cold of all, were swiftly breaking down, The-time came at last when he could no longer get upon his feet. And now, like a Tithonus who could Yot dle, he crawled along the snow- shoe trail on his hands and knees. “I can't go on,'" he told himself. Yet always his muscles made one movement more. Suddenly he missed the trail. His hand groped in vain over the white crust, and he started to creep for- ward again. But slowly the conviction grew upon him that he was crawling in a small circle-—the very circle he had inst made. Some way he had missed the snowshoe trail. Slowly he sank down in the snow. XIX. When the southeast wind the home cabin, Virginia's thought was for Bill. Harold's first thought was also of Bill. He knew what the wind could do to a snow crust. His eyes gleamed with high anticipations, curlously in- tertwined with the remembrance of the dark cavern he had entered yes- terday, the gravel laden with gold. “T only wish I hadn't let him go."” The girl's tone was heavy and dull. But we had to have supplies.” “We could have gone out on grizzly meat.” The afternoon that followed was endlessly long and lonely. Her heart sank at every complaint of the wind, and she dreaded the fall of the sha- dows. All through the hours of early night she slept only at intervals.

She went swiftly to her cabin, put on her warmest clothing, and, as Blll | had showed her, rolled a compact pack for her back. She took a little package of food | =nourishing chocolate and dried meat-—the whisky flask that had been her salvation the night of the river experience, and a stub of a candle for fire-building. Then, with never a backward look, she started away, down the dim, wind- blown, snowshoe trial. Now that the fight was done, Bill lay quite calm and peaceful in the drifts. The pain of the cold and the| rack of exhausted muscles were | | quite gone. | He was face to face with the flam- ing truth, and he knew his fate. On the trail that he had made on the out-journey, and which he had tried so vainly to follow back, Virginia came mushing toward him. It was a long, hard, nerve-racking trek. Finally where the trail entered the spruce thicket, her keen eyes made out a curfous, black shadow against the snow. The heart in her breast turned to ice, her blood seemed to go still in her veins. She recognized this flgure now. It was Bill, lying still in the frozen drifts. She fairly raced toward him. Now she knelt beside him, and with no knowledga of effort, turned him over and lifted his head and shoulders into her arms, His oyes were closod, his face ex- pressionless, his arms dropped imp- 1y to his side. She sobbed softly, lay on his face, “Bill, oh Bill, won't you wake up innd speak to me?'’ she cried. Bhe | pleaded softly, but he didn't seem to hear. “Come back to me, Bill—I need you,” she told him, “It's so ecold— and I'm afraid., Oh, pleass open your eyes—"" She kissed him over and over— XXI. Bill had not been lying long inert in the snow. And now he thought he was in the midst of some wonderful, glorfoun dream. “Virginia,” he whispered. you, Virginia—come to me— Then, so clearly that he could no |longer retaln the delusion of dream,,| he heard his answer. “Yes—and I've come to save you.'" She gave him liquor. He foit strength returning to his muscles, e |tried to open his eyes. “I'm blind—" he told her. “No matter, I'll save you. Can you eat?" The man nodded. She thrust a fragment of sweet chocolate into his mouth, permitting it to melt. “You'd better get to your feet as soon as you can—and try to get the hlood flowing right again.

Henry Maier Extends Invitation To Everyman’s Bible Class To | Use His Church At a conference of officials of the| Everyman's Bible class last evening, it was decided to try to hold the next meeting in the Methodist church, the church officlals having made tem- porary arrangements to throw open/ the adjoining Sunday school room to| accommodate the crowd. At this meeting the question of a future meeting place will be taken up. It is understood that invitations to meet in thelr churches have been ex- tended by four of the city's leading | pastors. The officlals are thinking serlously of accepting the invitation extended by Rev. Henry W. Maier, of | the TIirst Congregational church, to| meet in his auditorium.
