A New Way of Leaving a House.
Tho sorgo of disgust with which
Bhcba had broken her engagement to
'marry Macdonald ebbed away aa tho
weeks passed. It was lmposslblo for
, her to wait upon him In his Illness and
hold any repugnance toward this big,
elemental mnn. The thing ho had dono
might bo wrong, but tho very open
aess and frankness of his relntlon to
Ifetectso redeemed It from shame. Do
was neither a profligate nor a squnwa
nan.
This was Dlnno's point of view, and
In time It became to a certain extent
that of Sheba. One takes on the color
of one's environment, and the girl from
Droghcda know In her heart that Mo
tectBO and Colmnc were no longer tho
real barriers that stood between her
and tho AlaBkan. She had been dis
illusioned, saw him more clearly; and
though eho still recognized tho Quality
of bigness that set him apart, Jier spirit
did not now do such complete homage
to It More and more her thoughts
contrasted htm with another man.
Macdonald did not need to be told
that he had lost ground, but with the
dogged determination that had carried
him to success he refused to accept
the verdict She was a woman, there
fore to be won. Tho habit of victory
was so strong In him that ho could see
no alternative.
Tho motor-car picnic to tho Willow
Greek camp was a case In point. Sheba
did not want to go, but she went. The
picnic was a success. Macdonnld was
an outdoor man rather than a parlor
one. He took charge of tho luncheon,
.lit the fire, and cooked the coffee with
out the least waste of effort In his
shirt sleeves, the neck open at the
throat, he looked the embodiment of
'masculine vigor. Diane could not
help mentioning It to her cousin.
"Isn't he a splendid human animal V
JSheba nodded. "He's wonderful."
"If I were a little Irish colleen and
he had done me the honor to care for
me, I'd have fallen fathoms deep In
love with him."
The Irish colleen's eyes grew reflec
tive. "Not If you had seen Peter first,
Di. There's nothing reasonable about
a girl, I do believe. She loves or else
she Just doesn't" '
Diane fired a question at her point
blank. "Have you met your Peter? Is
that why you hang back?"
The color flamed Into Sheba's face.
"Of course not You do say the most
outrageous things, Dl."
They had driven to Willow Creek
over the river road. They returned
by way of the hills. Macdonald drew
up In front of a cabin to fill the radi
ator. ,
He stood listening beBlde tho car,
tho water bucket In his hand. Some
thing unusual was going on Insldo the
house. There came tho sound of a
thud, of a groan, and then the crash
of breaking glass. The whole window
frame seemed to leap from the Bide
of the house. The head and shoulders
of a man projected through the broken
glass.
The man swept himself free of the
debris-and started to run. Instantly
he pulled up In his stride, as amarod fridge, coming In over tho Ice, reached
tho way homo she was strangely silent.

formation had been filed against Gor

murder. Wnlly was to see that tho
damning facts ngalnst - him wero
brought to tho attention of officials In
high places where tho chnrges would
do most good. Tho details of tho story
wero to bo held In rcscrvo for publicity
In caso tho muckrake magazines should
try to mako capital of tho report of
Elliot
Kuslak found much tlmo for gosRlp
during the long nights. It knew that
Macdonald had gono on tho bond of
Elliot In splto of tho scornful protest
of the younger man. Tho case against
tho field agent was pending. Pursuit
of the miners who had robbed tho big
mine-owner had long ago been dropped.
Somowhcro In tho North the outlaws
lay hidden, swallowed up by the great
white waste of snow.
Tho general opinion was that Mac
was playing politics about tho trial of
his rival. He would not let tho case
come to a Jury until the time when a
conviction would have most effect In
tho States, the gossips predicted. They
did not know that he was waiting for
tho return of Wally Selfrldge. The
whispers touched closely tho personal
affairs of Macdonald. Tho report of
his engagement to Sheba O'Neill had
been denied, but It was noticed that
ho was n constant guest at the homo
of tho Pagcts. Young Elliot called
there too. Almost any day one or other
of the two men could be seen with
Sheba on the street Thoso who want
ed to take a sporting chance on the
Issue knew that odds wero offered sub
rosa at tho Pay Streak saloon of throe
to forget tho charms of other women.
Tho faint fcmlnino pcrfumo of her was
wnftcd to his brain. Ho felt a besieg
ing of the blood.
Stepping behind tho chnlr In which
sho sat, ho tilted back tho head of lus
trous bronze, and very deliberately
kissed her on tho lips.
For a moment sho gavo herself to
his embrace, then pushed him back,
rose, and walked across tho room to n
llttlo table. With fingers that trembled
slightly sho lit a cigarette. Sheathed
In her close-fitting gown, sho mado n
strong cnrnnl appeal to htm, but thcro
was between them, too, a closo bond
of tho spirit Ho mado no apologies,
no explanation.
Presently she turned and looked at
him. Only tho deeper color beneath
her eyes betrayed any cxcltemont
"Unless I'm a bad prophet you'll got
the answer you want when Shta
comes back, Colby."
He thought her reply to his Indis
cretion superb. It admitted com
plicity, reproached, warned and at tho
samo time ignored. Never beforo had
sho called him by his given name. Ho
took It as n token of forgiveness and
renunciation.
Why was It not Genevieve Mallory
that be wanted to marry? Tho mine
owner carried with him back to his
offlco a sense of tho futile Irony of
life A score of men would havo liked
to marry Mrs. Mallory. Sho had all
tho sophisticated graces of llfo and
much of tho natural charm of an un
usually attractive personality, no had
only to speak the word to win her, and
his fancy had flown in pursuit of n lit
tle Puritan with no knowledge of tho
world. -
In front of the Seattle ft Kuslak Em
porium the Scotsman stopped. A llt
tlo man who bad his back to him was
bargaining for a team of huskies. Tho
man turned, and Macdonald recognized
htm.
"Hello, GId. Aren't you off your
usual beat a bit)" he asked.
The little miner looked him over Im
pudently. "Wellwell t If it ain't the
big mogul himself and wantln' to
"Meaning that Mr. Gideon Holt la
tho owner?"
"You've done guessed It" admitted
tho miner complacently.
Ho had a right to bo proud of tho
team. It was. a famous ono even In
tho North. It' had run second for two
years In tho Alnska sweepstakes to
Macdonald's great Siberian wolf
hounds. Tho leader, Butch, waB tho
hero of a dozen races and a hundred
snvngo fights.
!'What in Halifax do you want with
tho tenm?" asked Elliot, surprised.
"The whole outfit must havo cost a
small fortune."
"Somo dust," admitted Gideon proud
ly. Ho winked mysteriously at Gor
don. "I got a uso for this team, If
anyono wns to ask you."
"Haven't taken the government mall
contract, havo you?"
"Not so you could notice It I'll tell
you what I want with this team, as the
old sayln' Is." -Holt lowered his voice
nnd narrowed slyly his little beadlike
eyes.. "I'm going to put a crimp In
Colby Macdonnld. That's what I aim
to do with it" '
"How?"
The miner beckoned Elliot closed
and whispered In his ear.

Two shots rang out almost together.

take "No" for on answer. He wooed
her with a steady, domlnnnt persist
ence that shook even her strong
will. There was something resistless
In the way he took her for granted.
Gordon Elliot hnd not mentioned lovo
to her, though there were times when
her heart fluttered for fear he would.
She did not want any more complica
tions. Sho wanted to bo let alone. So
when nn Invitation camo from her
llttlo friends tho Hustcds, signed by nil
three of tho children, asking her to
come and visit them at tho camp bark
of Katma, tho Irish girl jumped at the
chanco to escape for a tlmo from tho
decision being forced upon her.
" Sheba pledged her cousin to secrecy
until nfter she had gone, so that Miss
O'Neill was able to slip away oft tho
stage unnoticed either by Macdonnld
or Elliot The only other passenger
was nn elderly woman going up to
the Katma camp to take a place as
cook.
Later on tho snme day Wally Set-
to see those In he car as they were to
see him.
"Gordon I" cried Diane.
Out of the house poured a rush of
men. They too pulled up abruptly at
sight of Macdonald and his guests.
A sardonic mirth gleamed In the
eyes of the Scotsman. "Do you al
ways come out of a houso through tho
wall, Mr. Elliot?" he asked,
"Only when I'm In a hurry." Gor
don pulled out a handkerchief and
dabbed at some gltuM-cutd oi his face.
"Don't let us detain y0U,' Bald the
Alaskan satirically. "We'll excuse you,
since you must go."
Tin not In such a hurry now. In
fact If you're going to Kuslak, I think
III ask you for a lift," returned the
field agent coolly.
"And your friends-ln-a-hurry do
they want a lift too?"

from Wlnton, commissioner of the gen

Oddly enough, It was to Genevieve
Mallory that Macdonald went for con
solation when ho learned that Sheba
hod left town. Ho had always found
It very pleasant to drop In for a chat
with her, and she saw to It that he
met the samo friendly welcome now

her slender waist For Mrs. Mallory
did not concede defeat If tho Irish
girl 'could bo eliminated, she believed
she would yet win.
His hostess looked up at him with a

"Humor says that she has run away.

"Afntrtinav T aTinnlfln'f rvnnAam
you'd And out qulto soon enough what
I'm doing here. You never can tell,"
tho old man retorted with a manner
that concealed volumes.
Those who were present remembered
the words and In the light of what took
place later thought them significant
"Anyhow, It Is qulto n social event
for Kuslak," Macdonald suggested
with a smile of Irony.
Without more words Holt turned
back to his bargaining. Tho big Scots
man went on his way, remembered
that he wanted to see the cashier of
the bank which ho controlled, and
promptly forgot that old GId existed.
The old man concluded his purchase
nnd drove np to the hotel behind ono
of the best dog teams In Alaska.
Gideon aBked a question of tho por
ter.
"Second floor. That's his room up
there," the man answered, pointing to
a window.
"Oh, you, seven eighteen ninety
nine," tho little miner shouted up.
Elliott appeared at the window.
"Well, I'll bo hanged l What are you
doing here, Old-Timer?"
"Onct I know a man lived to bo a
grandpa minding his own business,"
Big Bill Macy came swaying for
ward, both hands to his bleeding head.
"He's a spy, curse him. And he tried
to kill me."
"Did he?" commented Macdonald
evenly. "What were you doing to him?"
"He can't sneak- around our claim
Hnder a false name," growled one of
the miners. "We'll beat bis bead off."
Tve bad notions like that myself
sometimes," assented the big Scots
man. "But I think we had all better
leave Mr. Elliot to the law. He has
Uncle Sam back of him in bis spying,
and none of hi are big enough to buck
the government" Crisply Macdonald
poke to Gordon, turning upon him
cold, hostile eyes. "Get in if you're
going to."
Elliot met him eye to eye. Tve
changed ray mind. I'm going to walk."
"That's up to you."
Gordon shook hands with Diane and
Sheba, west Into the house for his
coat, and walked to the stable. He
brought eat bis horse and turned It
loose, the he took the road himself
for Kuslak.
1 A oevple of miles out the car passed
him trudging townward. As they
flashed down' the road he waved a
cheerful and nonchalant greeting.
Sheba bad been full of gayety and
life, but her mood was changed. All
my lord. Is it true?"
"Yes. Slipped away on tho stage
this morning."
"That's a good sign. She was afraid
to stay."
It was a part of tho fiction between
them that Mrs, Mallory was to give
him the benefit of her advlco In his
wooing of her rival. Sho seemed to
take It for granted that he would at
last marry Sheba after wearing away
the rigid Puritanism of her resent
ment. Macdonald had never liked her so
well as now. Her point of view was
so sane, so reasonable. It asked for
no Impossible virtues In a mnn. There
was something 'restful In her genial,
derisive understanding of him. She
had a silent divination of his moods
sad ministered Indolently to them.
"Do you think so? Ought I to fol
low her?" he asked.
She showed a row of perfect teeth
In alow ripple of amusement. The sit
uation at least was piquant, even
though It was at her expense.
"No. Give the girl time. Catch her
Impulse on the rebound. She'll be
bored to death at Katma and she will
come back docile."

grinned the little man. "Come down
and I'll tell you all about It, boy."
In half a minute Gordon was beside
him. After the first greetings the
young man nodded toward the dog
team.
"How did you pcrsuado Tim Ryan to
lend you bis huskies?"
"Why don't you take a paper and

CHAPTER XIX.
In the Dead of Night
While Kuslak slept that night the
wind shifted. It came roaring across
the range and drove before It great
scudding clouds heavily laden with
sleety snow. From dark till dawn the
roar of the wind filled tho night Be
fore morning heavy drifts had wiped
out the roads and sheeted tho town In
virgin white unbroken by trails or fur
rows. With the coming of daylight the
tempest abated. Kuslak got into Its
working clothes and dug itself out
from the heavy blanket of white that
had tucked it in. By noon tho busi
ness of the town was under way again.
That which would have demoralized
the activities of a Southern city made
little difference to these Arctic Circle
dwellers. .Roads were cleared, paths
shoveled, stores opened. Children in
parkas and fur coats trooped to school
and studied through the short after
noon by the aid of electric light
Dusk fell early and with it came a
scatter of moro snow. Mrs. Selfrldge
gave a dinner-dance at the 'club that
night and her guests 'came In furs
of great variety and much value. The
hostess outdid herself to make the af
fair the most elaborate of the season.
Nobody in Kuslak of any social im
portance wns omitted from the list of
invited except Gordon Elliot. Even
tho grumpy old cashier of Macdonald's
bank an old bachelor who lived by
himself in rooms behind thoso In which
tho banking was done wns persuaded
to break his custom and appear In a
rusty old dress suit of the vintage of
'05.
The grizzled cashier his name wns
Robert Milton left the clubhouse
early for his rooms. It was snowing,
but tho wind, had died down. Contrary
to his custom, he had taken two or
threo glasses of wlno. His brain was
excited so that he knew ho could not
sleep. Ho decided, to read "Don
Qutxoto" by tho stove for an hour or
two.
Arrived nt the bank, ho let himself
Into his rooms and locked tho door. He
stooped to open the draft of tho stove
when a sound stopped him- halfway.
Tho cashier stood rigid, still crouched,
waiting for n repetition of tho noise.
It came onco more tho low, dull rasp
ing of a file.
Shivers ran down the spine of Mil
ton and up the back of his head to
the roots of his hair. Somebody was
In the bank at two o'clock In the
morning with tools for burglary. He
was a scholarly old fellow, brought up
In Now England and cast out to the
uttermost frontier by tho malign trag
edy of poverty. Adventure offered no
appeal to, him.
But though his knees trembled be
neath blm and the sickness of fear
was gripping his hoart, Robert Mil
ton had in him the dynamic spark that
makes a man. He tiptoed to his desk
and with shaking fingers gripped the
revolver that lay in a drawer.
The cashier braced himself for the
plunge, then Blowly trod across the
room to the Inner, locked door. The
palsied fingers of his left hand could
scarce turn the key;
It seemed to him that the night was
alive with the noise he mado In turning
the lock and opening the door. The
hinges grated, and tho floor squeaked
beneath the fall of bis foot as he stood
at the threshold. '
Two men were In front of the wire
grating which protected the big safe
tbat filled the alcove to the right One
held a file and the other a candle.
Their blank, masked faces were turned
toward Milton, and each of them cov
ered him with a weapon.
"W-what are you doing here?"
quavered the' cashier.
"Drop that gun," came the low,
sharp command from one of them.

ed her dinner-dance to be smart, to
have the atmosphere she had found In
the New York cabarets. If everybody
talked at once, she felt they were hav
ing a good time, If nobody listened
to anybody else, it proved that the af
fair was a screaming success.
Mrs. -Wally was satisfied as she bade
he.r guests good-by and saw them pass
into the heavy snow that was again
falling. They all assured her that
there had not been so hilarious a party
In Kuslak.
One old-timer, a trifle lit up by rea
son of too much hospitality, phrased
his enjoyment a little awkwardly.
"It's been great, Mrs. Selfrldge.
Nothing like It since the days of the
open dance hall."
Mrs. Mallory hastily suppressed an
Internal smllo and stepped Into tho
breach. "How do you do it?" she
asked her hostess enviously.
"My dear, if you say it was a suc
cess "
",What else could one say?"
Gcnevlove Mallory always preferred
to tell tho truth when it would do just
as well.- Now It did better, since It
contributed to her own Ironic senso of
amusement. Macdonald had once told
her that Mrs. Selfrldge mado him think
of tho saying, "Monkey sees, monkey
docs." Tho effervescent little woman
had never had an original Idea In her
life.4
Most of those who had been at the
danco slept late. They wer,o oblivious
of tho fact that tho storm had quick
ened again Into a howling gale. Nor
did they know the two bits of news
that were passing up and. down tho
main street and being telephoned from
house to house. One of the Items was
that the stago for Katma had failed to
reach the roadhouse at Smith's Cross
ing. The second bit of nows was local.
For tho first time since Robert Milton
had been cashier the bank had failed
to open on the dot
'
Macdonald was no sluggard. It was
his habit not to let the pleasure of the
night before Interfere with the busi
ness of the morning after. But In tho
darkness ho overslept and let the town
waken beforo him. He was roused by
tho sound of knocking on his door.
"Who Is It?" he asked.
"It's me Jones Gopher Jones. Say,
Mac, the bank ain't open and we can't
rouso Milton, Thought I'd come to
you, seeing as you're president of the
shebang."
In three minutes Macdonald Joined
the marshal, and walked down with
him to the bank. He unlocked the
front door and turned to the little
crowd that had gathered. 4
''Better wait here, boys. Gopher and
I will go In. I expect everything Is
all right, but we'll let you know about
that as soon as we find out"
The bank president opened the door,
let the officer enter, and followed him
self. .
The sun had not yet risen and the
blinds wero down. Macdonald struck
a match and held it up.
"Bank's been robbed," he announced
quietly.
"Looks like' agreed Jones. His
voice was uneven with excitement.
The Scotch-Canadian lit another
match. In tho flare of it he saw that
the steel grill cutting off the alcove
been
Tho marshal clutched at tho arm of
tho banker. "Did you sec Hint?" he
whispered. ,
Ills finger pointed through tho durk
ness to tho other end of the room. In
tho fnlnt gray light of coming day
Macdonnld could sco a huddled mass
on tho floor.
"There has been murder done. I'll
get n light. Don't movo from here,
Jones. I want to look nt things before
we-disturb them. There's no danger.
The robbers hnvc been gone for hours."
By tho light of another mntch tho
mine-owner crossed the room Into the
sitting room of the cashier. Presently
ho returned with a lamp nnd let Its
light fall upon the flguro lying slumped
against the wall. A revolver lay close
to tho Inert fingers. The hend hung
forward grotesquely upon the breast.
Tho dead man wns Milton. His em
ployer Raw nothing ridiculous In tho
twisted neck and sprawling limbs. Tho
cashier had died to save tho money
entrusted to his care.
Macdonald handed the lamp to the
marshal and picked up tho revolver.
Every chnmbcr was loaded.
"They beat him to It. They were
probably here when ho renched home.
My guess Is he heard them right nwny,
got his gun, nnd enmo In. He's still
wearing his dress suit That gives us
tho time, for he left the club about'
midnight Soon as they saw him they
dropped him. I wouldn't have hnd this
happen for nil the money In the safe."
"How much was there In It?"
"I don't know exnctly. Tho books
will show. I'll fiend Wally down t6
look them over."
"Shot right spang through the heart
looks Jlke," commented Jones, follow
ing with his eye the course of tho
wound.
"Wish I'd been here Instead of him,"
Macdonnld said grimly. His eyes soft
ened ns he continued to look down at '
tho employee who had paid with his
life for his faithfulness. "It wasn't an
even break. Poor old fellow I You
weren't built for a Job like this, Robert
Milton, but you played your hand out
to a finish. That's all any man can
do."
He turned abruptly nwny and began
examining the safe. Tho silver still
stood Backed In one large compart
ment The bnnk notes had escaped the
hurried search of the robbers, but the
gold waB practically all gone. " One
sack had ncen torn by tho explosion
nnd single pieces of gold could bo
found nil over tho safe.
Macdonald glanced over the papers
rapidly. The officer picked up one of
dozens scnttered over the floor. It was
a raortgago note made out to tho bank
by a miner. Ho collected the others.
Evidently the bandits had torn off tho
rubber, glanced over one or two to
see If they had any cash value, and
tossed" the package Into tho air as a
disgusted gambler does u pack of
cards.
The bank president stepped to tho
door and threw It open. He explained
tho situation In three sentences.
T can't let you In now, boys, until
tho coroner has been here," he went on
to tell the crowd. 'But there Is ono
wny you can nil help. Keep your eyes
open. If you hnvb seen any suspicious
characters around, let mo know. Or
If nnyono hasleft town In a hurry
or been seen doing anything during tho
night that you did not understand at '
the time."
A man named Fred Tague pushed to
tho front. He kept a feed corral near
the edge of town. "I can tell you'ono
man who mushed out beforo five o'clock '
this morning and that's GId Holt"
The eyes of Macdonald, cold nnd
hard bb jade, fastened to the man,
"How do you know?"
"That dog team he bought from T,lm
Ryan Well, he's been keeping It in
my corral. When I got thcro this
morning It wns gone. Tho snow hadn't
wiped out the tracks of tho runners
yet, so he couldn't have-left more than,
fifteen minutes before."
"You don't know that Holt took Jhe
team himself?"
"Come to that, I don't. But he had
a key to the barn where the sled was.
Holt hnB been putting up at the hotel.
I reckon It Is easy to find out if he's
still there."
Macdonald's keen brain followed the
facts as the nose of a bloodhound does
a trail. Holt, an open enemy of his,
had reached town only two days be
fore. He had bought one of the best
and swiftest dog teams In the North
and had let slip before witnesses the
remark that Macdonald would soon
find out what he wanted with the out
fit The bank had been robbed after
midnight To file open the grill and to
blow up the safe must have taken sev
eral hours. Before morning the dogs
of Holt had taken the trail, If their
owner were with them, It was a safe
bet that the pled carried forty thou
sand dollars In Alaska gold dust
