CHAPTER I What the Goose Hunters Saw "What's that, Gaspurd, off shore there t" The blnck eyes of Gaspard Lecrolx shifted from the Incoming flock of anowy geese out to the gray water of James bay, beyond the marshes where tbe boys lay In a "bide." "Schooner, I t'lnk," muttered the half-breed, watching the distant ob ject for a space through eyes nar rowed to silts. "What In thunder's a schooner do ing on all coast In September de manded Brock McCain. "Something Queer here!" "Ah-haht Eet ees queer." "Must be free traders! They cant get throt'g'j Hudson's straits now; they're got to winter on the bay. I wis' my father knew about this," re gretted 'be white boy, "but 't's too late to turn back now." "Eef wa going to trap de Yellow Leg beadt.ater die long snow we got no t am to lose." "Right you are, old partner I But rd like to know what th?se people are doing on this coast You don't suppose we'll run Into them on tbe Yellow-Leg r Tbe swart face of Gaspard Lecrolx went darker. Tbe small eyes gilt-' tered as be said: "My fader die on de Yellow-Leg! I dese peopl' bunt dat countree, last spreeng, fley " "But tbat was two hundred miles Inland, Gaspard," objected Brock. "These people would not leave tbe coast." "Ab-bah, mebbe not," sighed the half-breed, saddened by the thought f tbe father be bad lost. Over the marsh which reached from tbe black spruce guarding the muskeg, Inland, 'o the wet flats where myriad shore birds fed behind the ebbing tide, the flock of "snowies' which the boys were watching, drifted lazily lb from tbe sea. Then, In quick succession two shots roared beneath them and before the beating pinions of the bewildered geese lifted and swept them out of range, again two guns exploded In the "hide." Falling vertl-ally, two birds struck the grass flats stnne dead; two angled down from the retreutliiK "snowies," wings moving necl.anli-ul ly, to bit the marsh with a thud a hundred yard from the aiders. "Four more," said UriK-k. rising to itretcb his stiff legs. "Thin make twenty this morning. Guspnrd." "We eat sll we can Tjr. I wish we bad blggalr boat." "Oh. we'll find caribou on the Tel low-Leg, and if we muke Jie lakes In time, we'll net plentr of whltcllsli and trout. I don't see why yu wor ry about grub." demurred lirwk. Gaspard shook bis bead goodna turedly at the optimism of his friend. "De caribou ees here today; tomor row gone. We must get feesh or we have bard tam to feed de J"g In de winter," h replied. "We gut wan month to de frecxe-up. Brock. We must burry." Then, each with a back load of birds suspended by a leather tump line passing over the head, the boys started for their camp a mile across tbe marsh. At the camp, a chorus of busky yelps hailed them. "Hello, Flash, old pup!" called Brock, tossing his geese to the plat form cache high above the reach of the dogs. As bis master went to the stake where be was tied, the big Es kimo puppy wriggled Id erstary, al ternately growling and yelping bis de light At neighboring stakes three grown dogs fretted and yelped. Jealously de manding recognition. Brock left bis puppy, and with a pat on the bead and pull at the ears, spoke to each. "Well Kona, old girl!" he said to a snow-white female who greeted him no less eagerly than the si Ate-gray and white Flush. Hello Silt-Ear, you rascal!" be crleu to a black and white dog with on ear whlcb had been rlpp.d by the razor-like claws of a lynx. The fourth, a hulking yellow and white busky, the red lower lids of whose oblhjue, amber colored eyes marked a near strain of the wolf, crouched at bis stake. "Yellow-Eye I You've been chewing at that wire again!" And the youtb seized the griping lower Jaw of tbe dog and looked Into the tawny eyes raised to bis. "You're king-dog of this team, now, old boy, but some day tbat pup Flash'll make your old boues crack." By the time they bad finished their dinner of boiled goose, corn bread and wild cranberries, the returning tide had backed up the water In the stream to a depth sufficient to float the loaded canoe out through the chan nel. Thot with their freight of geese, flour and provisions; traps and camp outfit, on top of whlcb was lashed a toboggan sled, '.hey started for tbe moutb of the unknown end W.N.U. SERV1CS mysterious Yellow-Leg, forty miles up the coast Following along shore, tails up, and In full cry, as they rev eled In their freedom after daya of tethered Idleness, the dogs drove frightened flocks of shore-birds, duck and geese Into the air, as they trav eled. "You're a big, uble I ml, Brock, for your ago," Angus McCain, factor of Hungry llnu-e, on ttie Starving river, had replied In July to the pleading of his son to be allowed to winter on the Yellow-Leg with Giispnrd ; "but you're too young to trap stntuge country." Somewhere far to the north, tn the unexplored lake country of the In terior, from which flowed the great Wlntsk and the Carcajou, the Yellow Leg was thought to hove Its sources. But no Indian trading at Hungry House hart ever ascended the river, from the bay, und of the hunters who wintered In the Starving river coun try but one bud the hardihood to cross the divide and enter tho unknown and, therefore, mysterious land to the north and he had not returned. Tbat ninn was Pierre Lecrolx, father of Gaspard. With his dog team be bad started on the March crust to explore the nameless valleys beyond the Inst blue bills for signs of fur; and until the trails went soft In the April thaws, Gaspard and his brother bad followed 60 Early Sptmbr Found the Boy on Their Way to the Ysllow-Lsg. bis father's trap-lines, confident of bis safe return. But when the duys of sled travel had pnssed. they knew that somewhere beyond the grim bills to the north, tragedy had overtntfen the best btishrnan and hunter on the Starving that a fate, unlmugtned. mysterious, had stricken the veieran who would nut starts where caribou ronined the muskegs. "Hut Pierre was nliine." objected P.pm-'. "Tlu.l win rhe tnmlile I !- Ileve. He gut U-b or hurt, and couldn't hunt."

"Yes, end te Iust srmwed up In a big blow, ut from your ramp, with out gruh," answered Angus McCain, dryly "Many a good num. older, stronger and wiser than ynu. my lad. has starved out after a big snow lost." For a space Brock frowned down at bis moccasins, then his pride spurred bltn to answer. "Of course, I've got plenty to learn from Gas pard. lie's part Cree and It's uncan ny all he knows about the bush. He'd be boss on this trip, snd we're like brothers. It's time, too, I made some thing for myself, father." Slowly the grey eyes ot tbe elder McCain softened ss bis son begged for the chance to risk bis life In (he hinterlands of the fellow-Leg. At last he said, reluctantly: "If you'll promise to take the dogs and make for the coast and borne when your grub vera low Instead of trying to stick It out. I'll consent." "Good old dad!" Brock Impulsively wrung his father's band. So It wls that earl September found the two boys on their way to the wilderness of the Yellow-Leg. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

The chief charm of Bangkok, the capltnl, lies In lis wonderful temples, of which the ltoyal Wutt are the most gorgeous.

To go Into detail describing the glories of this wat would take many pages; suffice It to say Hint Its tile roof Is of Chinese yellow bordered with Indigo blue; thut the columns are mosaic and Its heavy doors ot carved wood. The center of Interest Is Its sarred linage, the "Emerald Buddha," a green Jude figure which alts enthroned under many golden um brellas, surrounded by praying devas. The Image was unearthed In 1 t.Tl. at Klnng Hal, and brought to Bangkok, whence It was onee stolen by Invad ing Cambodians, but wus recovered by B victorious Siamese army, The murul decorutlons of the tem ple are exquisite.
