Bill Bronson has led Virginia Trc
munt into the Clearwater of north
ern Canada to find her fiance, Har
old Lounsbury, who vanished there
six years previously. Disaster sepa
rates them from the rest of their
party. Kenly Lounsbury, Virginia's
fiance's uncle, and Vosper. Bronson's
100k. The man and girl are snowed
In in Bill's trapping cabin beyond
Grizzly river. Bill seeks his mur
dered father’s lost gold mine. One
day he Anils Harold, who has turned
squaw man, and takes him to Vir
ginia.
(io on with the Story
Virginia turned back to lier new
found lover.
She was a little frightened by the
expression on his face. His eyes
were glow’ing, the color had risen in
his cheeks, he was curiously eager
anil breathless.
"Before he comes," he urged.
"We've been apart so long—"
His hand reached out and seized
hers. He drew her toward him. She
didn’t resist; she felt a deep sell
annoyance that she didn't crave his
kiss. He crushed her to him, and
his kiss was greedy.
She struggled from his arms and
he looked at her in' startled amaze
ment. In fact, she was amazed at
herself!
That first night Bill and Harold
made bunks on the lloor of the
cabin, but such an arrangement
could only be temporary. i
They might be imprisoned for
weeks to come. Bill solved the prob
lem with a single suggestion.
They would build a small cabin
for the two men to sleep in. Many
times he had erected such a struc
ture by his own efforts; the two of
ihem could push it up in a few
hours’ work.
"I'm really not much good at
cabin building." Harold protested.
"But I don’t see why Bill shouldn't
go to work at it. I suppose you hired
him for all camp work."
For an instant Virginia stared at
hfrn in uttei; wonder, and then a
swift look of grave displeasure came
into her face.
- JS
‘•Bill's keen eyes saw the Isnr
first.”
V
"You forget, Harold, that it was
Bill that brought you back. The
thirty days ho was hired for were
gone long ago.” But she softened
at once. "It's your duty to help
him, and I’ll help him, too, it I can."
In the next few days Bill mostly
left the two together, trying to find
his consolation in the wild life of
the forest world outsido the cabin.
Harold had taken advantage of his
absence and had made good pro
jress; Virginia’s period of readjust
ment to him was almost complete.
She did not, however, go frequent
ly into his arms. Someway, an em
barrassment, a sense of inappropri
ateness and unrest always assailed
her when he tried to claim the ca
resses that he felt were his due.
"Not now, Harold," she would tell
him. “Not until we're established
again—at home.”
Finally his habits and his actions
did not quite meet with her approv
al. The first of these was only a
little thing—a failure to keep
shaved.
The stubble matted and grew on
his Ups and jowls. Bill, in contrast,
shaved with greatest care every
evening.
A more important point was his
avoidance of his proper share of
Bill’s daily toil.
There was a little explosion, one
afternoon, when he ventured to ad
vise her in regard to her relations
with Bill.
Harold spoke tolerantly, patroniz
ingly. “Those fellows are apt to
take an advantage of any familiar
ity. They’re all right if you keep
’em in their place—but they’re
mighty likely to break loose from
it any minute. I’m sorry you ever
let him call you Virginlq.”
Virginia's eyes blazed.
"Listen, Harold,” she exclaimed.
“I don’t care to hear any more such
talk as that. I don’t need or want
what you think of Bill—for that
matter; you can be sure that Bill
doesn’t care at all either—but I’ll
ask you to keep your thoughts to
youraplf. Oh, if you only knew—
how wood, how strong, how true he
has Been—how tedder he has been
to me—”
Harold was torn with jealous rage
and In his fury and malice he made
the worst mistake of all. ”1 hope
he hasn’t been too tender—” he sug
gested, viciously.
The gtW answered only with her
eyes; but her answer was unmistak
able. Harold muttered something
unintelligible, half an apology, half
an excuse. Then he turned his back
and stalked out of the cabin.
XII
The addition of Harold to their
number did not influence, for long,
Virginia’s old relations with Bill.
They were comrades as ever; they
talked and chatted around the little
stove in the hushed nights; they
played their favorite melodies on
the battered phonograph, and they
took the same joyous, exciting expe
ditions into the wild.
One morning Bill called her early.
“We re face to face with a new
problem,” he announced. "The pack
rame by last night—the wolf pack.
I didn’t hear them at all. And they
got away with the big moose hum,
hanging on the spruce.”
’’Then we’re out of meat?”
"All except the little piece outside
the door. ’.Ve’ve been going through
It pretty fast.”
Bill spoke true. Their meat con
sumption had practically doubled
| since Harold had come.
'But If you care to,” Bill went on,
“** can dash out and see if we cau
pick up a young caribou or a left
over moose.”
She dressed, and at breakfast
their exultation over their trip grew
painful to Harold’s ears. He an
nounced his intention of going
along.
Bill took rather a new course to
day. He bent his steps toward a
stream that he called Creek Despair
—named for the fact that he had
once held high hopes of finding his
lost mine along its waters, only to
meet an utter and hopeless failure.
After proceeding a long distance
Bill glanced back in warning and
pointed to an entrancing wilderness
picture, a hundred yards in front.
In a little glade and framed by
the forest stood a large bull caribou,
flashing and incredibly vivid against
the snow.
Incidentally he made a first-class
target—one that it seemed impossi
ble to miss.
“I’ll take him,” Harold shouted.
“Let me take him.”
In a flash Harold realized that
here was his opportunity: in one
stroke, one easy shot, he could focus
Virginia’s admiration upon himself.
But it was not the way of sports
men, wandering in file in mountain
trails, to clamor for the first shot at
game. Whatever is said is usuallv
in solicitation to a companion to
shoot; and Virginia felt oddly em
barrassed.
Harold’s gun leaped to his shoul
der. The target looked too big to
miss, but his bullet flung up the
snow behind the animal.
The caribou’s powerful limbs!
pushed out in a mighty leap. Fren
zied. Harold shot again; but his
nerve was broken and his self-con
trol blown to the four winds. The
animal had gained the shelter of |
the thickets by now. ■
Aiy signts are on, Haroia snout
I ed. "They didn’t shoot within
[three feet.of where I aimed. Damn
such a gun."
"I think we'd better look for
something else." said Bill drily.
"Then I want -you to carry my
gun awhile, and let me take yours.
It’s all ready, and here’s a handful
of extra shells. You ought to be
willing to do that, at least.’”
Harold had forgotten that this
man was not his personal guide,
subject to his every wish. He held
out gun and shells; and, smiling.
Bill received them, giving his own
weapon in exchange.
But Harold’s miss had not been
his greatest sin. The omission that
followed was by all the codes of the
hunting trails unpardonable. He
supposed that he had refilled his
rifle magazine with shells before he
put it in Bill’s hands. In his con
fusion and anger he had forgotten
to do so; and the only load that the
gun contained was that in the bar
rel, thrown in automatically when
tlie last empty shell was ejected.
XIII
Several seasons before there had
been a fatality on the hillside above
(’reek Despair. An ancient spruce
tree had languished, withered and
died from sheer old age.
On the day that he three hunters
emerged on their snowshoes in
search of meat for their depleted
lardw, the wind pressed gently
against it. Because its trunk was
rotted away it swayed and fell
heavily.
The falling Irco had made a
frightful crash just over the head
of a great grizzly, hibernating for
the winter, and even the deep coma
in which he lay was abruptly dis
solved.
He sprang up, ready to fight.
His little, fierce eyes burned and
smoldered with wrath, he grunted
deep if 1 his throat, and he pushed
out savagely through the cavern
maw. It was only a step farther
through the spruce thicket into the
sunlight.
Three figures, two abreast and
one behind, came mushing through
the little pass where the creek
flowed. The grizzly recognized
them in an instant as his hereditary
foes.
His ears laid back, and he uttered
a deep growl.
As he stepped, his forefeet swung
out, giving to his carriage an arro
gance and a swagger that would
have been amusing if it hadn't been
terrible. His wicked teeth gleamed
white in foam, and the hair stood
stiff at his shoulders.
Bill’s keen eyes saw the bear first.
It was the last sight in the world
that Bill had expected.
There was nq waiting this time to
offer the sporting opportunity to
Harold.
Virginia was not aware of a lapse
of time between the instant that Bill
caught sight of the bear and that in
which his gun came leaping to his
He had full confidence in the
hard-hitting vicious bullet in Har
old's thirty-five, and most of all he
relied on the four reserve shots that
he supposed lay in the rifle maga
zine.
The grizzly dies hard; he felt that
all four of them would be needed to
arrest the charge that would likely
follow his first shot.
He aimed for the great shoulder,
the region of the lungs and heart.
Bill’s bullet went straight home,
ripping through the lungs, tearing
the great arteries about the heart,
shivering even a portion of the heart
itself. And yet tt)e grizzly sprang
like a demon through the deep
snow, straight toward him.
Virginia's horrified eyes saw his
fingers race as he worked the lever
action of the gun. The bear seemed
almost upon him. And she scream
ed when she heard the impotent
click of the hammer against the
breech. Bill had fired the single
shot that was in the gun.
Before ever he heard the sound
Harold remembered. In one wave
of horror he recalled that he had
forgotten to refill the magazine with
shells. Yet leaping fast—red and
deadIy*upon the heels of his remorse
—there came an emotion that sear
ed him like a wall of fire. He saw
Bill’s fate.
Here was his enemy, the man he
hated above all living creatures, and
the blood lust surged through him
like a madness, in one wave of
ecstasy he felt that he was about to
see the gratification of his hatred.
In the hands of a brave and loyal
man, the rifle Harold carried might
yet have been Bill’s salvation. Yet
Harold didn't lift it to his shoulder.
But at that instant aid came from
an unexpected quarter. Virginia
remembered the pistol at her belt,
and she drew it in a flash of blue
steel. True and straight she aimed
toward the glowing eyes of the
grizzly.
At the angle that they struck, her
bullets did not penetrate the brain;
but they did give Bill an instant’s
reprieve. The bear struck at the
wounds they made, then halted,
:
I
'bawling, in the snow. His roving
eye caught sight of Virginia’s form.
With a roar he bounded toward her.
The next instant was one ot'
drama, of incredible stress and
movement. For all his ■mortal
wounds, the short distance between
the bear and the girl seemed to re
cede with tragic swiftness.
Virginia stood her ground, firing
shot after shot into the animal’s
head. Because it was an automatic,
she was able to send home the loads
in rapid succession.
But Bill by now had found one of
the extra shells Harold had given
him.
The grizzly was upon them.

This scientist counted the
particles of dirt in the air
As A Result Of His Discoveries
Our Ice Cream Is Now HEATH1ZED
A U. »S. Government scientist counted the particles
of dirt in city air. lie found from 25,000 to 40,000 par
ticles of dust and dirt iu every cubic inch of air. He
found disease germs; he found dangerous fungoids.
These startling revelations of what air contains
started us investigating a way to keep this mass of
dirt out of ice cream.
Ice cream is made—as perhaps you know—by whip
ping into a freezing mixture a percentage of air. A
brick of ordinary ice cream—at this rate—contains up
ward of 150,000 particles of dirt. A rather disagree
able thing to consider.
AVe found that Prof. A\\ P. Heath, a food scientist,
had discovered a way to make ice cream without air.
He forces the air out of the freezer by substituting a
clean, pure sterile and germless atmosphere, a hun
dred times purer than air.
We investigated ice cream plants where his process
was in use. We found that HEATHIZED ice cream
was infinitely more pure, and also that is was MUCH
MORE DELICIOUS.
We found a richer, creamier product was developed.
That the flavors were intensified by this new way of
making ice cream.
So we adopted HEATHIZATION for all our plants.
Now all CASTLES ICE CREAM is HEATHIZED.
We want you to try it. Have a dish at any CASTLES
dealer. Or, better still, have a brick or a carton of ice
cream at your home for dessert tonight.
If it isn't CASTLES it isn’t HEATHIZED.
