ACDONALD was visibly sur. | prised when Gopher Jones knocked at his door and in- formed him that the bank wag closed, that they couldn't find Milton and that the cashier's bed had not been slept in. When they opened the doors of the bank they soon real- ized that it had been robbed. The lifeleas body of Milton lay huddled in @ corner, with a loaded rovolver nearby. “They beat him to it," said Mac- donald. The dead man was wearing his dress suit that he wore at the dinner dance. Macdonald considered for a moment the facts before him. le knew that Elliot was a friend of Holt's.

Now for Elliot.” The: room of the latter was discovered to be in a state of disorder. Garmonts were strewn about carelessly, as though in- dicating great haste in leaving. Soon word reached Macdonald's ears that Holt and Elliot had been seen leaving town with a dog team. Five minutes later the winners of the great Alask: flying down the the storm. Macdonald, armed with a rifle and a revolver, mushed out into the worst storm in ‘the history of his edreer in the frogen north, CHAPTER XX!.

He would gladly have turned back, but the nearest road house was twenty-seven miles back. Smith's crossing was on the other side of the divide, only nine miles away. It was getting colder every minute. The snow swirled about them. The driver dismounted and watked ahead. Staggering blindly forward, Sheba bumped into the driver. “He had drawn up the horses @ moment for ® rest. “No chance,” he galled into the oung woman's ear, “Never make Hmith’s Crossing.

The steam from the dogs in front rose in clouds, The snow was wot and clung to the shaggy conte of the dogs, any times both Biliot and Holt were obliged to break trails for the dogs.
