"J don't need any help this is my line," The man's fatigue had fallen from him; of a sudden he had become surpris ingly alert and forceful, lie stole forward, making as little noise as possible, and J'hHUps followed at Ills buck. They came to a pause within arm's length of the tent flaps, which ..they noted were se curely tied. "Hello inside!" The owner spoke suddenly und with his free hand n Jerked at one of the knots. There came an answering a-French (V.iiadlan frln.it, who In I learn that two men so unfitMe. for J f lamatlon, a movement; then the a river pilot.

Phillips' abundant vigor con tinued to evoke the elder man's frank admiration: lie eyed the boy approvingly and plied him with questions, lief ore they had trav eled many miles he had learned what there was to learn, for Pierce ; answered lits queHttons frankly and told him about the sacrifice his family hud made in order to send lilm north, about the trip ItHelf, about his landing at Dyea. and nil the rest. When he came to the account of that shell game the grlzxled stranger smiled. "I'vo lived In wide-open coun tries all my life," said the latter, "but this beats nny thing J ever naw. Why, the crooks outnumber the honest men and they're run ning things to suit themselves. Ono of em tried to luy mo, Me!" ho chuckled as If the mere Idea was fantastically humorous. "Have you heard about this Soupy Rmith? He's the boss, the Jiollcow, and he's made himself mayor of Skagwuy. Oan you beat It? I'll bet some of his men are on our Citizens' Com mittee nt Hhev-p Camp. They need a lot of killing, they do, and they'll get It. What did you do after you lost your money?" "I fell in with two brothers and went to packing." . "Went partners with them?"

It amazed him to learn that already most of their outfit was nt I.lnderman, "Do you mean to say that you have done nil the packing for your self nnd your partner?" he inquired. "t no. Old Jerry totters across with package of aoila-crnekerN once In n while. . You muitt have heard him; he creaks like a gate, Of course he eats up all the crack ers before lie gets to UmJorman and then gorges himself on the heavy grub lhat I've lugged over, but In spite of that we've managed to make pretty good time." After a moment of meditation he con tinued: "Kay! You ought to see that old buzzard eat! It's disgust ing, but It's Interesting. It ain't so much the expense that 1 enre alfout as the work. Old Jerry ought to be In an Institution some place where they've got wheel-chairs and a big market-garden. Hut he's plumb helpless, so 1 can't cut him loose und let him bleach his bones In a strange land. 1 haven't got , the heart," They were resting at the Long hake outlet, some time later, when the old man Inquired; "I presume you've got a camp at l.inderman, eh?" "No. I have some blankets cached there and I sleep out when ever I can't make the round trip." "Hound trip? Hound trip in one day? Why. that's thirty miles!" "Heal miles, too. This country makes a man of a fellow. I wouldn't mind sleeping out if 1 were sure of n hot inenl once in a while, but money is no good this side of thu Summit, und these people won't even let u si ran. r use their stoves."

When he und Pierce returned they were admitted promptly enough, und any llngcrlnx suspi cions of the trespasser's ' intent were Instantly dlssiputcd. The woman was clad In u short damp underskirt which fell about to her knees; she had drawn on the only dry article or uppurel in stent, a man's sweater Jucket; she had thniHt her bare feet Into a pair of beaded moccasins; on a line at tached to the ridgepole over her head sundry outer garments were steaming. Phillips first, thought was that this woman possessed the fairest, the whitest skin' he had ever seen; It was like milk.
