THE STORY THUS FAR Penniless, but not discouraged, Pierce Phillips sets out to make enough money carrying packs across Chilkoot Pass to gain entrance to the gold country in the Yukon. The Canadian government required that everyone entering the country be pro vided with a ton of provisions and a thousand dollars. Neither of these Phillips had, but he was a sturdy young fellow and he decided to hire himself out packing other prospec tors' provisions over the Pass to Linderman until he acquired the nec essary funds. He meets up with 'Poleon Doret, a French Canadian giant, who is a river pilot. 'Poleon gives him cour age to continue the back-breaking grind. All along the trail men lay about exhausted and only with the most superhuman courage is he able to continue. CHAPTER 11. (Continued) Phillips’ abundant vigor continued to evoke the elder man's frank admir ation; he eyed the boy approvingly and plied him with questions. Be fore they had traveled many miles he had learned what there was to learn, for Pierce answered his ques tions frankly and told him about the sacrifice his family had made in or der to send him North, about the trip itself, about his landing at Dyea, and all the rest. When he came to the account of that shell game the grizzled stranger smiled. ‘Tve lived in wide-open countries all my life,” said the latter, “but this beats anything I ever saw. Why, the crooks outnumber the honest men and they’re running things to suit themselves. One of’em tried to lay me. Me!" He chuckled as if the mere idea was fantastically humor ous. “Have you heard about this Soapy Smith? He’s the boss, the bell-cow, and he’s made himself mayor of Skagway. Can you beat it? I’ll bet some of his men are on our Citizens’ Committee at Sheep 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?” “No, they—” Phillips' face cloud ed, he hesitated briefly. “I merely lived with them and helped them with their outfit from time to time. We re at Sheep Camp now, and I share their tent whenever I'm there. I’m about ready to pull out and go it alone.” “Right! And don’t hook up with anybody.” The old man spoke with feeling. “Look at me. I'm nesting with a dodo—darned gray-whiskered milliner! He's so ornery I have to hide the ax every time I see him. I just yearn to put him out of his misery, but I dassent. Os course he has his points—everybody has; he’s a game old rooster and he loves me. That's all that saves him.” Phillips was greatly interested to learn that two men so unfitted for this life, this country, should have essayed the hardships of the Chilkoot trail. It amazed him to learn that already most of their outfit was at Linderman. "Do you mean to say that you have done all the packing for yourself and your partner?” he inquired. “N—no. Old Jerry totters across with a package of soda-crackers once in a while. You must have heard him; he creaks like a gate Os course he eats up all the crackers before he gets to Linderman and then gorges himself on the heavy grub that I’ve lugged over, but in spite of that we’ve managed tp make pretty good time.” After a moment of meditation he continued: "Say! You ought to see that old buzzard eat! It’s disgusting, but it’s inter esting. It ain’t so much (he expense that I care about as the work. Did Jerry ought to be in an institution — some place where they’v* got wheel chairs and a big market-garden. But he’s plumb helpless, so I can’t cut him loose and let him bleach his bones in a strange land. I haven’t got the heart.” They were resting at the Long Lake outlet, some time later, when the old man inquired: “I presume you’ve got a camp at Linderman, eh?” "No. I have some blankets cached there and I sleep out whenever I can . make the round trip.” “Round trip? Round trip in one day? Why, that’s thirty miles!” “Real miles, too. This countiy makes a man of a fellow. I would n’t mind sleeping out if I were sure of a hot meal once in a while, but money is no good this side of the Summit, and these people won’t even let a stranger use their stoves.” “You can’t last long at that, my boy.” “You can bunk in our tent as long as we're here,” the other man vol unteered. “If you get across in time you can travel in our boat, too. But I’ll have to warn you about Old Jerry. He’s ornery. Nature was cruel when she introduced him into a defenseless world.” 1 "That’s the second kind offer I’ve had this morning,” Pierce said, thoughtfully. “A big smiling Cana dian made the first one. I found him singing on the Summit. He’s an ’old-timer’ and he’s altogether dif ferent to us tenderfeet. He made me rather ashamed of myself.” The elderly man nodded. "Most pioneers are big-calibered. I’m a sort of pioneer myself, but that in fernal partner of mine has about ruined my disposition. Take it by and large, though, it pays a man to be accommodating.” CHAPTER in Already the weeding-out process had gone far and the citizens of.Lin | derman were those who had survived 1 it. The weak and the irresolute! had disappeared long since; these fel kms who labored so mightily to forestall the coming winter wen the strong and the fit and the endurinj i —the kind the North takes to her ' self. _ i] In spite of his light pack, Phillips ' elderly trailmate was all but spent ] He dragged his feet he stumbled ( without reason, the lines in his fact i were deeply set, and his bearded ] lips had retreated from his teeth if i a grin of exhaustion. “Yonder’s the tent,” he said, finally j and his tone was eloquent of relief . “A big smiling Canadian made th first one. I found him singing 01 the summit ...” Pierce’s companion paused; then 'i alter an incredulous stare, he said I 1 "Look! Is. that smoke coming fron i j my stovepipe?” "Why, yes!” There could be no mistake abou ij it; from the tent in question arosi ] i the plain evidence that a lively fir ij was burning inside. “Well, I’ll be darned!” breathe! , the elder man. “Somebody's jumpe! ' the cache.” "Perhaps your partner—” “He’s ■in Sheep Camp.’’ Thi 1 speaker laboriously loosened his pacl and let it fall, then with stiff clumsy fingers he undid the top but- j tons of his vest and, to Pierce’) t amazement, produced a large-calib ! ered revolver, which he mechanical!) ■ cocked and uncocked several times ; the while his eyes remained hyp f notically fixed upon the telltali i streamer of smoke. Not only did hi) j action appear to be totally uncallec J for, but he himself had undergom i a startling transformation and Phil l lips was impelled to remonstrate. “Here! What the deuce—?” hi ! began. “Listen to me!” The old mar j spoke in a queer, suppressed tone a and his eyes, when he turned then i upon his fellow-packer, were eve» j smoloer than usual. “Somebody') 5 up to a little thievin', most likely, and ! it looks like I had ’em red-handed j I’ve ben layin’ for this!” Pierce divested himself of hi) J pack-harness, then said, simply, “II that’s the case, I’ll give you a hand. J “Better stand back,” the othei | cautioned him. “I don’t need any • help—this is my line.” The man’i ? fatigue had fallen from him; of » | sudden he had become surprisingly j alert and forceful. He stole for I ward, making as little noise as pos sible, and Phillips followed at hii back. They came to a pause with < in arm’s-length of the tent flaps i which they noted were securely tied 1 “Hello inside!” The owner spok) ] suddenly and with his free hand hi i jerked at one of the knots. There came an answering exclama , t’on, a movement; then the flap i were seized and firmly held. “You can’t come in!” cried > , voice. i "Let go! Quick!” The old man' j voice was harsh. , “You’ll have to wait a minuti { I’m undressed.” Phillips retreated a step, as di * the other man; they stared at eac r other. ( “A woman!” Pierce breathed. “Lord!” The owner of the prem ises slowly, reluctantly sheathed hi weapon under his left arm. "I invited myself in," the voio explained—it was a deep-pitchei contralto voice. "I was wet and no body offered to let me .dry out, s I took possession of the first empt tent I came to. Is it yours?” “It is—half of it. I’m might tired and I ain’t particular how yo look, so hurry up. As the two mo returned for their loads the speaks went on, irritably. “She’s got he nerve! I s’pose she’s one of thes actresses. There’s a bunch of ’es on the trail. Actresses!” He snort ed derisively. “I bet she smells a cologne, and, gosh! how I hate its When he and Pierce returned the| were admitted promptly enough, ant any lingering suspicions of the tret ! passer’s intent were instantly dissi j ■ pated. The woman was clad in ) short, damp underskirt which fel about to her knees; she had draw) 1 on the only dry article of appare j in sight, a man's sweater jacket; shi i had thrust her bare feet into a pah • 1 of beaded moccasins; on a line at ! tached to the ridgepole over he* < head sundry outer garments wen steaming. Phillips’ first thought wa» ] that this woman possessed the fair i cst, the whitest skin he halt eve* ] seen; it was like milk. She was Scan dinavian, she was a Norsewoman, that much was instantly apparent. Sh< appeared to derive a certain tnaliciou* pleasure now from the consternation her appearance evoked; there was s hint of contempt, of defiance, in hei smile. In a voice so low-pitched that 1 its quality alone saved it from mas culinity, she said: "Pray don’t be distressed; you merely startled me, that's all.
