The ■4owed look in his eyes, how-. V Tras not wholly due to the ahead of him; it came one that was past. A weather-beaten man be had seen was being sworn in. t had resumed his seat, 's bulky figure slouched at toward the center of the of witnesses. Nearer, Malt- eyes rested on Peter, with tta emotion which the sight of ■ loved and loyal friend brings Wt a man in trouble. A wave of fMademess brimmed his heart. PMa wore a summery frock of blue; her golden hair was laager than he remembered It, arranged in a more feminine ion. It was his first glimpse her in girl’s attire, and she altogether lovely. Police records of the finding «f the native’s body that Spring fli the breaking ice of I>ake Le- garge, had established the fact of anrder. The Slwash had been Uned by a .4 4 bullet which atraek him in the back. His aarpee had been disposed of Iteoagh an air hole in the ice, mmi. had Iain in his concealment gtongh the winter. Its having floated finally to the surface was Am to the rising warm currents flnm the lake bed. Wade’s first witness was a flader from the old post at Ogil- Tds on the Yukon. The trader a very queer story, which back into earlier Yukon flsym. and rehearsed the tale mUeh the accused men had al- WBMdy heard from Drew. Willie some of this testimony waa open to objections, Garnet pasaed the witness without cross- axamihing, and Wade called a aeaaoned-looking officer of the floanted Police. Wade here produced the furs aad mukluks Dalton had worn. He compared them with those gaken from the body of the mur dered Indian to prove, by an Meatical working of the uead wraaments, that they had been fkakloned by the same native kand. Garnet had passed this evi- deaee without question. Wade sailed Corporal Cathcart to the stand. Cathcart explained that the •racks tangled in an odd way ibrough the timber that shelter- ad the camp, and were difficult to rer.d. He told of finding a pool of blackening snow crystals wear the head of the lake, cover- ad but showing through in a dark abadow. He had then sought out the defendants and questioned them. “They said they had met no Bwash, and showed an unwil- Bngness to say anything more.

The witness told of his visit to the eaUn .ta the wane of the blissard, while Speed was being seat to Sksgway. Before he reached the door, a Slwash dog had slunk ont of his my around the cabin wall, and he oanght only a storm-whitened gltin^ee of It. The discovery that the de fendants had a malnrnte’ ' dog waa, of course, startling, and a fact of great Importance. Mait land, when asked where it came from, claimed to have found it astray, not long after his part ner riiot the caribou oh^ Lake Leharge. "In the meantime, the Siwash’s body was found in the breaking ice of Lake Leharge, estahllahlng the fact of murder. “To establish our case against the accused men, it remained to he proved that they actually used the -log to trace Its camp or origlh, and that that camp was the hide-out of an unknown white prospector with a good secret. As was proved.’’ Garnet, after a brief address to the jury as to the circum stantial nature of the evidence, called the first, and so tar as was known, the only witness for the defense. Pete was unmistakably a very attractive girl; to this crowd of hard-living men she was some thing more rare and gracious than the words convey, or than may be imagined by any but men who have lived in frontier min ing camps. “Had you ever seen the de fendants before they arrived in Skagway?” Garnet asked. “No, sir.” “What was Owens’ relation to you?” “I suppose you would call him my foster father. I was raised at his ranch.’’ “Did he ever speak to you of your real father?’’ “Only once. He spoke then as if Dalton were my father. Or anyway some near kin of mine.” "What did you do after Owens died?” “I went over the pass to find Dalton and warn him. I sold a gold-mounted gun and some things I had for grub, and rode down the lakes looking for him. I didn’t find anyone waiting, and didn’t have much to go on, not even knowing what Dalton looked like. When the cold came, I met a rafting outfit who camp ed to cut timber a little way up the Teslin, and they gave me a job cookingg for them through the winter.’’ “Why did you leave them?’’ Garnet prompted. “It was only a week or two before the break-up. I hadn’t heard anything of Daiton, and was wondering what to do. “That night I woke up bearin’ a voice close to my bunk, on the other side of the tent wall. The voice was shouting to me above the noise of the storm, but it sounded dim. ’The words were something like. ‘It you're Pete, get out of the North, and get quick! You’re in danger. I’m in a tough fix . . . can’t take you down river. For (Sod's sake, keep clear of ’ The wind shriek ed and the voice died away. I wasn't sure of what it said at the last. “Soon after that, one of Fal lon's men happened by the camp and saw me. I kiiowned Fallon was lookin' for me, and felt that this was what the warning meant. I saddled the mare and started for the coast. “It was a heavy, cold trail. The going was easier on the level snow of Lake Leharge, but Chiquita and I were both dead tired by then, and there’s more than a day I’m not clear about. All the time I had a feeling of being followed or shadowed by someone or something. “Then—kind of lost count. I think I was in a river canyon when the storm broke. There were wild voices in it like wolves. I must have pulled the mare out of it and into the open when the storm struck. Then next thing I know I was in Mr. Mait land’s cabin. The dog led him to where I’d fallen in the snow.” “Did you tell Maitland why you were making for Skagway in that weather?’’ 'No.” sir.’' “Why didn’t you, Pete?” “He and Speed had had a quarrel with Fallon before, and I dld.u’t want to make it worse because of me. Or to mix them up in any trouble about Dalton either.” “During your stay at the cabin, did Maitland ask you any ques tions about Owens or Dalton, or his gold secret?” “No, sir. Anything I told him was of my own accord.’’ “Did you feel safe there?” “I felt as safe as if I was in— God’s pocket.” ^ The courtroom smiled s little at this homely but ezprwslvs miners' phrase. .. Pet® tien toldjwhst had hap pened up to the arrest ol the ae- eused men in Dalton’s camp. “I will ask yon one more question,*’- said Wade, in the deep silence that followed.' "Do yon love the defendant, Malt- land?:’ Pete’s gray eyes Ware shadow ed. She bit her Up. as sh» hgd done that day when she recover ed from the throes of cold. Two Mg tears rolled* down her cheeks. “I have told - the truHt,” she murmured. ' “I think. Your Honor,” said Wade, “that the question has been sufficiently answered.” • • • Next morning, when the court re-opened, Gsirnet iprodnced (^n unexpected witness. He looked toward the rear of the court room and said, “Rose 'Vhlery.” At the name, Fallon came up right in his chair, startled out of the detachment. He turned his head in frowning unbelief. But he was unnoticed by the courtroom as Rose approached the stand. Though the river had carried many rumors of her beauty, this was her first appear ance in Dawson. Indifferent to the crowd’s stare, she looked at the accused men and then at Pete, with-some Inward, unreadable thought. Her dark eyes showed a glitter of Are when they crossed with Fal lon’s, who slouched back now, carelessly, while she was being sworn. "Miss Valery,” said Garnet, “where were you born?” “I don’t know,” Rose answer ed. Her low voice had the qual ity of plucked harp strings. “Where were you cared for as a child?” "In the convent school at Notre Dame at the Mission Do lores in San Francisco. I was taught music and singing at the convent,’’ Rose ventured, “until I was 15. but I was restless, and discipline only made me unhap py. I decided to run away, and did, and so became a profession al singer. “I had a plan of reaching the gold country. A little after dark I climbed over the convent wall at a place where a sloping barn roof touched it. I got on a street car at Guerrero Street. As I hadn’t any carfare the conductor put me off at the second stop, two blocks below. “A boy was singing in a high soprano voice in front of an open-air bootblack stand next the saloon, where the sports were getting shined up for the evening. “It surprised me to see the men at the shoe-stand throw him money—even one half-dol lar piece—for what wasn’t real ly a good song, or very good singing, except for being strong and clear. Wlhile he gathered up the coins, I sang the refrain of the song. The boy was angry, but the men encouraged me, and we tried to sing each other down. As it was easier to chord with him, I sang alto, and our duet stopped the shoe- hinlng. When we finished, the men gave me a liandful of silver; one of them handed me a dollar piece. “I divided what I got with the hoy, and then he wanted us to throw in together and play the corner, but I said I was go ing to Nevada to sing in the gold camps. “The boy got excited and wanted to go. While we were talking it over, a shadow fell be tween ns from the street lamp, and I found that the man who’d given me the dollar was standing there listening.” “ ‘So you’re headin’ tor Ne vada?’ |oe asked. “W'nen I agreed we were, he said he know all about the coun try; had been there not so long before und brought out a heap of gold, and be was going again, so he could give us a steer and see that we were treated right. “On the car going downtown, he said something to the boy I couldn’t hear, and gave him a gold coin. The boy got off, till ing me he was going to buy some things and meet us later. “I wasn’t so sure about the man’s looks. He was big, rather handsome, and sunburned. He said we couldn't start till morn ing, and he got me a room at a hotel near the Baldwin. He told me he wasn’t going to Nevada. He didn't need to, and didn’t want to.” “I was angry and disgusted. While be was sleeping, I got out. I still had some of the small change I’d sung for, and soon found that money was easy to earn that way.- ^ “I bought a guitar and some clothes, and paid my own way to Nevada. One night I was playing a camp casino in Golconda yrhen a woman who was drinking with a fuddled miner called me to their table to sing tor them.
