Powell River, B. C. The north coast's Most Modern Department Store SYNOPSIS: Speed Malone hardened gambler, and Ed Maitland, son of seafaring New England family, were partners in the Yukon gold rush of '97. They met on the trip north in a crowd that included Frnchy, the fish- rrinau. Lucky Rose, the beautiful girl who took a fancy, to Maitland; Fallon, leader of the miners, who resented Rose's interest in Maitland; Brent, old-time prospector; \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Garnet, who gave Maitland and Speed his outfit when he quit the trail, and Pete and his drunken partner,-Owens, who was drowned after a brawl. Pete turned out to be a girl in disguise. Speed killed a man at Skagway\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda cheat manager of a shell game\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand months after was r.rrested and put in jail for his murder. He got out, but while he waited for Lefty, who offered to help him to get back the mail he had been carrying for the - Mounties at Bennett. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. * * * * In another instant he freed the halter line of the second bronco. Mounting, he curbed its plunging close to Pete's stirrup, while he held the dynamite stick away from the mare's head. The fuse was burning close. \"Up the river canyon, Pete,\" he said, \"and don't pull in till I hail . ye.\" A quirt bit the bronco's flank; its flying start matched the mare's leap as Pete leaned close to the black neck, holding the pinto's head and riding both horses as one. They flashed through the chequered street lights and vanished in a drumming of hooves. Speed checked his own rearing mount,' wheeled it sidelong on its hind legs, to block any threat of pursuit. Then, with a measured glance at the crowd, he tossed the spluttering explosive down the centre of the street into trampled vacant enpw. : Almost as it struck; the camp was rocked by a thundering detonation. The bronco gave a bound like a stag's and tore after its team mate, stung to a soaring gallop by the rocketing \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd blasts of Speed's gun on either side, 1 ' \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdI* *r \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd 1\" V Rusty was shifting nervously. His nose, searching the inshore shadows, had a more constant direction. It kept pointing downstream. Rusty was watching and scenting along the bank for some remembered place which old habit had printed deep in his dog memory. \"By the Great Dog Star!\" Maitland exclaimed. \"The dog's your map.\" \"It's what I'm bankin' on,\" Speed said. \"Dogs get attached to places. The pull of a hangout they're'used to lasts longer than their fear of a man they don't like. Specially Siwash dogs. We could ijnaybe have landed anywhere a- round the Stewart and followed Rusty to Dalton's camp by his own route.\" - Pete had fallen asleep with her head on the meal sack. She had seemed to feel a peculiar uneasiness about the outcome of their journey, which deepened and darkened Maitland's sense of Dalton's mystery. The mouth of the creek which the dog led them to choose was so screened with brush that in the dark they might easily have passed it unnoticed. Speed hitched a line from the prow of the boat to the malamute and allowed it to run along the shore. Delighted to be afoot again, Rusty started upstream, drawing the boat with him. AH they had to do was use an oar occasionally* to clear a rock or shoal. The dog had come to a bend in the creek. The canyon* was nar- were reaching the limit of the boat's- draught. They now looked around for a covered mooring place. With strange providence, it was Rusty again who found the place to cache the boat. He. halted at the foot of a mountain ravine, down which a thick growth of brush fell into the creek. Between the outer fringe of vegetation and the bank, a concealed tunnel flowed under the brush. The space would have been large enough for two canoes, and it neatly harbored their boat when they had unmast- ed it. This discovery did not look like accident. The place appeared to have been used before. It was possible that . they were picking up a hidden trail, which others had searched for and puzzled over through a whole winter. Their interest in what they were about to do was taking on a tense precision. \"I've said the magic was simple,\" observed Speed. \"Now we're goin' to see whether it's true.'' The dog scrambled up the cleft of the ravine under tangled brush. Their range of view was painfully restricted, and they knew how invisible Dalton's trail could be. At the head of the ravine they emerged on a blind, steep-walled gulch. Here Rusty stopped and looked at them expectantly as if it were now their move. \"Doggone,\" Speed muttered, and frowned at the blasted pine which Rusty seenied to v,hayey ,regarded\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd with a little more intention than the stone. The dead tree spread its limbs close to the cliff one of the high branches almost touched the rock face. Uncoiling a rope from his belt, Speed made a careful throw-at the pine limb\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand tightening the rope on it securely, hauled himself up the trunk. He climbed until he reached the limb that touched the wall, crawled out on it to the end, and dropped on a ledge; There he gave a shout of discovery. TO BE CONTINUED Serving ...
