A leap, a snarl—Jean Pousset's hands were round l’ierre Lot's throat, and Pierre's eyes were bulging as he strove vainly to free himself from the grasp of his unsuspected enemy. At first Jean throttled him us If his only desire was to kill; but, as Pierre fell insensible main the bunk, he re leased him and stood looking at him uncertainly. It wus the climax of the season that they hud spent together. Both were trappers, and they had amassed a rich store of furs, including two of the sliver fox, which meant comparative affluence for them. But Jean envied Pierre. lie envied him his own share of the furs, und he envied him Marie Batiste, who had unmistakably indicated her preference for Pierre. So they were to be married that spring at Fort Auguste, when Pierre returned. There should he no returning for Pierre. .Jean had resolved to kill his erstwhile friend, and return with a trumped-up story of some kind or other. No one would ever know. Of lute Pierre hud seemed to sus pect Jean, and he had always slept with itis revolver handy. But that morning Jean had outnmneuvered him. Jean watched Pierre uncertainly. It would be an easy thing to shoot him while he was unconscious. But some thing in him rebelled against this mur der of nn unconscious man. And. in the end, lie secured a lengtli of rope and tied Pierre securely to his bunk. “Lie there and starve," he sneered. “None will pass this way, and I'll he hack next year and set you free." If Pierre heard, lie only groaned in answer. Jean looked at him a little longer, hurled a curse at him, and loaded Ills pack with all the furs, in cluding Pierre's, Then, with a wave of the hand, lie was off and snow shoeing across thte wastes in the di rection of Fort Auguste. At first he stepped lightly enough, but gradually the recollection of his deed began to burn in him. It had been largely spontaneous, though he had hud some such idea in mind for weeks as, in the solitude, tiie memory of Marie Batiste's face grew stronger. It was Marie, rather than the furs, that drove him on again. But he walked more and more slowly; and at fast to- stopped. He stopped under a dwarf willow, where his line of traps began. He could not go on. He was glad that he had not killed I’ierre. And he would have returned, only he did not know what to say to I’ierre. But he must return. .Something within him would not let him go a step further. It was odd how that in visible something seemed to cling to his legs when he tried to walk. It was as if some one were physically Impeding him. At last, with a groan, he yielded. He would go back to I'ierre and set him free, tling him his half of the furs, and take himself away forever. He turned toward the cabin. He pushed his foot forward. Something under the snow caught the slice. Snap: He was fast. At first, just for an instant, lie did not know what it was that had pulled him to id* knees. Then, with an aw ful fear, he realized that lie was fust in one of his own traps. And he lugged in vain; he could not budge the strong steel implement beneath the frozen* snow. It was a wolverine trap, one of the heaviest made, and designed to hold the captive motionless. It was Impossible to get at It. be cause he was in such a posit ion that It was difficult even to kneel. The muscles of his hack seemed bursting aa he vainly endeavored to get himself into a position from which he might pry away the frozen snow and tug at the steel beneath. And, us he realized his doom, s hoarse cry of despair broke from Ids Ups—another, and another. The sun rose high. Still Jean fought like a madman, always in vain. And at last he abandoned the strug gle and lay face downward in the snow. The hours went by. The sun whs going down. Tlie hitter cold was numb ing him. He had no longer any sen Nation In Ids leg. and the teeth of the HERE IS WHERE IT’S MADE Home Building Kaffir Chemical Laboratories, Omaha, Nebraska Dentlo Sultox ' Rem trap no longer "Bit, ISough a little pool of blood had frozen on the snow. Suddenly Jean perceived a figure coming toward him. Incredulously, he recognized Pierre. It was Pierre him self, at his side, looking down on him. He beard his exclamation. In a few minutes Pierre had dug up the trap and set hia enemy free. Jean struggled to his feet and looked , up at Pierre In amuzeinent. “Take all the furs and go," he mum bled. Pierre clapped him on the shoulder. “Eh, mon ami. It 1* nothing," he said. “It Is the snow-madness thut comes to us In the wilderness, not so? I know, for I myself had coveted your. furs, and had been tempted. Only,” he laughed, “It was fortunate that you forgot 1 had a knife beside my hunk." Theater Provides Smoking Room.
