"Ray, we've thrashed that out long ago," she responded. , '"I wish you wouldn't keep talking- about it, If you want to walk with me-" -" " . -All right, nut youH be changing' your mind one of these days.-Ray's voice rang in tbe silence, indicating -utter indifference to the fact that many of the loungers on the street were listening to the little, scene. They followed tbe board sidewalk into the shadows, finally turning) In at a ramshackle, three-room house. The girl turned t go In, but the man held fast .to her tm. "Walt Just a minute, Bee," he urged. "I've goi one thing more to say tflRyou.1 "When I want something, I don't know how to quit till I get it. It's part of my nature.

Ia that life that was forgotten he had evidently lived much ia a canoe, knowing, every detail of river Ufa, Late afternoon, and they worked -closer to the shore. And now. ia the gray of - twilight, Czraa saw the place to land. It was a small lagoon Into which a creek emptied, and beyond was aa open meadow, found so often and so unexpectedly la the North woods. Swiftly 3ea turned the canoe tnte shore. All at once a, great clarity seemed to take posses 1100 of Ben'e enind. Here, in these, forests, were the stimuli of which Forest, the alienist. had spoken; and his brain seemed to leap, as in one impulse, to the truth. Suddenly he knew the answer to all the questions and problems that had troubled him so long. He sprang up, his eyes blazing. "I remember everything," an in audible voice spoke within him. Then he whispered, fervently, to his fa miliar wilds. "And I have come home." CHAPTER IV A Bolt From tbe Clue EVERYTHING was as it should be, ax be and Ezram cnade the camp. "It's all come clear again," he told Ezram.- He remembered now that Ezram had always been the moat , intimate friend of his own family: a spry old godfather to him- - self and young sister, a boon con pankm to his once successful rival. Beu's father. Ben did not wonder. now, at 'his own perplexity when Forest had spoken of "Wolf" Darby. That was his own name .known throughout hundreds of square miles . of forest and in dozens of little river . hamlets in an Eastern province. Tbe. journey ended at last. They saw the white peak tbey had been told to watch for, and soon after tbey came to a green bank from which the forest had been cut away. Tbey pushed up and made landing on the banks of a small stream.' This stream, Ezram knew, was Poor Man's Creek, the stream of. which his brother bad written and which they must ascend to reach Spruce Pass.' Only five miles distant. in a quartering direction .f rom Jjae river.' was Snowy Gulch, the village where they were to secure supplies and, from teve Jllorris, the tate Hiram's gun and his pet, Fenris. ' Before they were fully unpacked they made out the figure of a middle . aged frontiersman, his back leaded, advancing up the road toward them. "Howdy," Ezram began pleasant ly. "Howdy," the stranger replied. - ."How was golnT" "Oh. good enough." "Come all the , way "from Salts- ville?"
