Wi Begin Here Today. BEN DARBY, a prisoner, is paroled to an old friend of the Darby family because it is proven by a noted allonist that Ben 13 a victim of am- | " (nesia. . The old friend, BZRA MELVILLE, takes Ben on a Journey to the Yuga River to Jocate on a rich claim left by Ezra's dying brother, HIRAM MELVILLE, In Seattle lives Jeffrey Neilson, leader of Ray Brent and CHAN HEMINWAY, notorious crooks. They plan to steal the claim left by Melville and locate there before his brother can arrive, Brent is in love with Neilson' sbeautiful daugh- ter, BEATRICE, who repulses him, When Ezra and Ben arrive at the "north woods, the latter's memory suddenly returns. On the road to Snowy Gulch, where they were to procure supplies and call for FENRIS, pet of the deceased Hiram, “Ben and Ezra meet a frontiersman. While Ben is otherwise engaged Ezra learns from the traveler that Neilson and his gang have started toward Hiram's claim. Not want- ing to endanger Ben's life, Ezra suggests Darby go alone to Snowy Gulch, leaving Ezra to travel toward their destination. At Snowy Gulch Ben finds Fenris to be a wolf that has just broken loose and stands ready to destroy a beautiful girl. Go on With the Story . The fangs were bared, gleaming in foam, the hair stood erect ' on the powertul shouiders; and instantly Ben recognized its breed. It was a mag- nificent specimen ‘of that huge, gaunt ranner ‘of ‘the forests, the Northern ‘He knew this breed—this savage, Blood-mad, flerce-eyed creature that tarned, snarling, at his approach. Fenris was only a fellow wilderness ereature, a pack brother of ‘the dark forests, and he had no further cause for fear. “Fenris!” he ordered sharply. #Come here!” His voice was com- manding and clear above the animal’s sharls. There followed a curious, long in- stant of utter silence and infinite sus- “Down, Fenris,” Ben, sald again. Down!"” Then slowly, steadily, Ben moved toward him. Watching unbelieving, Morris saw. the flerce éyes begin to lose their fire. The stiff hair on the shoulders fell into place, tense muscle Ben stood beside himgnow, his hand reaching. - “Down, down,” he cau- tioned quietly. Suddenly the wolf crouched, cowering, at his feet. Ben- straightened to find himself under a wondering scrutiny by both Morris and the girl. - *“Good Lord, Darby!” the former exclaimed. “How did you do it—" Suddenly Ben reached and took the wolf’s head between his hands. Slow- 1y he lifted the savage face till their eyes met. The wolf growled, then whimpering, tried ‘to avert its gaze. Then a rough tongue lapped at. the man’s hand. And now, for the first time, Ben found himself regarding Beatrice. He could scarcely take his eyes from her face. He knew perfectly that he was staring rudely, but he was with- out the power to turn his eyes. Her dark eyes fell under his gaze. “wrhere's nothing 1 can say—to thank you,” the girl was murmuring. o7 never saw anything like it; it was Just as if the wolf understood every word you said.” “0ld Hiram had him pretty well trained, I suspect”” The man's eyes fell to the shaggy form at his feet. ‘T'm glad I happened along, Miss—" “Beatrice Neilson.

Few times in his life had he smiled in quite this vivid way. “Then it's you,” he exulted, “who is going to be my fellow traveler to- morrow!" v CHAPTER VI Hitting the Long Trail. Ben found, rather as he had ex- pected, that the girl was not at all embarrassed by the knowledge that they were to have a lonely all-day ride together. The frontier had taught her m; Judge men.
