i jCameron Obeyed
feL* Orders
Sr By JAMES CRAWFORD
THAT was what they called him,
the silent, strapping Scotsman,
who had been sent so many times
Into far places after fugitives from
Justice It had come to be a habit.
Whenever news came to headquar
ters of some escaping miscreant,
tor the chief to send for Hugh and
say tersely, "Go, get him, Cnm
eron!" And invariably Cameron
bqth went and got.
• ’ Little was known of his life be
fore he had Joined up with the
Northwest Mounted Borne four
years ago. Rumor had it that, back
In Winnipeg, he had had an un
fortunate love affair, but as that
sort of gossip is likely to attach it
self to a man who reaches his mid
dle thirties without marrying, too
much credence was not given to it.
At the time of the sensational
bank robbery in Winnipeg, then,
Hugh Cameron was a weather-hard
ened, clear-eyed man with no ap
parent interest in life beyond his
dqty.
• He had already heard the main
facts of the case before he was
summoned by the chief—how the
teller had been killed by a fellow
clerk, aided by a confederate who
was said to have been a woman,
and how the murderer had got
away with a large sum.
“An ugly customer," warned the
chief. “He seems to have struck
north, and there Is a chance the
woman may be with hint, although
I doubt that. But he ought not to
be difficult to find by so clever a
man as yourself.”
Three months later, Cameron
was still searching. There had
been clues, yes, but clues which ul
timately led him nowhere, until at
length he fell iu with a band of rov
ing Blackfeet.
“Yes,” they told him. “Man and
squaw living in trapper's cabin. At
big bend In Heron river."
So Cameron, restocked with some
of, their, dried fish, once, again

he transatlantic nlnne America. w ^
headed north. Two days later he
reached the Heron river and made
camp a mile or two below the bend.
Then he calmly waited for dark
ness.
When at. last he set out for the
cabiD, he was pleased to discover a
trail sufficiently warm to indicate
recent use. Stealthily, with his
automatic ready for instant serv
ice* he crept along,' reached the
small, w’eather-stained dwelling,
ilung open the door, then stepped
back violently, his brain in terrible
confusion at sight of the slender
ilgure which had sprung up at his
entrance.
“You—Janet?” he gasped.
Her face, drained of all eolor,
quivered, but before she could an
swer there came a delirious mur
mur from the bunk and at once,
with evident tenderness. _ she
stepped over and patted
a form that lay huddle^ beneath
the blankets.
“Is—Is that Fred Dallas?” he de
manded.
The girl shivered, then nodded.
“It—It can’t be that you, Janet—
that you—oh, was it?”
She made no denial of his un
spoken accusation.
“I have no choice,” said Hugh
grimly. “Nightmare although it all
seeins to me. I place you both urn
der arrest and you must go with
me to Tama rock post. I suppose
you have a boat—”
The next hour was a hideous one
for Cameron. Carrying the gaunt,
unshaven man down to the dug-out,
packing away their<sfcmall pmount
of stuff, silently helping the girl
Into the bow and thrusting a pad
dle, into her hand.
ft Was not until they had pad
died nearly opposite Hush's camp
where he Intended to put aboard
his own belongings, that Janet,
without turning her head, spoke
In a low, tense voice.
“Fire Into that clump of dwarfed
cedars. As you once loved me,
fire!”
“There was an urgency in her
tone to which' Cameron involun
tarily responded. Twice he fired,
and Ills first shot was answered by
a bullet which fortunately for the
ffccupants of the canoe went wild.
Then a dark figure pitched forward
to the bank.
But not for some time did Hugh
altogether understand. Not until
he had paddled ashore and found
a badly disabled man who would
further complicate their Journey to
tffe post and lmd turned to Janet,

who'flung wildly to Ins’ ami, hys
terically explaining:
“Oil, it's been terrible, Hugh! I
found I loved you, after all, and al
though It took me several years
to conquer my pride, at last I de
cided to find you and see if you
were still free, and stilt loved me.
Jnck, my brother, came with me.
We found you had left for the
North, and Jack said It would be a
lark to try to And you. It was a
] lark until .Tack came down with
tills dreadful illness. We found
the cabin and decided to stay until
he was able to travel. But he grew
worse.
“Then one day that man you .lust
shot appeared. lie made us feed
him. Tonight he had seen your
camp and told me that unless I pre
tended wo were tile ones you were
after, he would shoot both Jack
and me. Ho was hidden outside as
tnu came In, and had you covered..
He ■Intended to make his getaway
after we left, but said he would
follow us downstream, so that if I
gave any sign—I took that wild
chance, however. Oh, if you had
I misfed hint !”
. Tether they managed to bind
I the man’s wounds nnd get him
| aboard, 'nten, for one brief mo
ment, for time was precious, Hugh
took the girl In his arms.
“Darling, there's a good old
padre at Tamarack mission. Shall
we—” *
And Janet gave her answer with
her lips on his.
