We Can't both get out--I am an old man' with only a few years left to live, anyway." • Jackson weakened under the bat* tery of the old man's logic. . Nevertheless, he continued to register protests. "We can surely make it." he said. "I can't leave you, Mr. Burton. Let's struggle on together. You know these woods and I will help you." "No Jackson, we are done for. Go on without me--go straight south. I don't know how far, but I know that's the direction. Go south /and you will come to a river. Follow It the way the stream flows and you will be sura to come to a hunter's cabin. Stay there until morning. Then get help, and come back here--back track and get my body." The old man wheeled his commands. He staggered. "Well, Mr. Burton, 1 don't like to leave you this way, and---" "<3oi Jackson," said Mr. Burton. "You haven't long. The storm's increasing. Leave me here. Tell them you were game, but that I sent you away. Hurry, Jackson." Jackson gripped the old man's han* and turned toward the trackless south and safety. In twenty paces he stopped. He couldnt leave him. What would people say? What would the men at the office cay? Besides, this was a coward's trick. It want the Law of the North. Why did they get into this fix anyway? Mr. Burton was supposed to be the best woodsman in this part of the Canadian Northland, and hunted here year after year. That is how it happened that Jackson, a young executive in Burton's big plant, had accepted an invitation to go moose hunting. Burton was old, but he was experienced--used to hunting without bothering about a guide in this territory. But the unexpected had happened. Night was coming. They had been lost for several hours, and the old man was exhausted. And what had started as a drizzling rain gave promise of turning into snow before morning. Yes--it seemed as If he had a right to the chance for his life, but-- In two minutes he was back v eside the old man. • "Mr. Burton--I'm not going. You can say what you like, but we stay together, and if we go out, we'll go out together." "You fool, Jackson," the old man argued. "You must go!: But Jackson proceeded to4>reak oil such spruce bows as he could gather and make a rude shelter under the trees.' It was cold. No lire. Garments soaked. The. old man trembling. Up north the howling of a wolf. In three seconds, an answer strangely and menacingly near echoed through the woods. A large tree not far away spilt with a sound like a rifle. They huddled together as best they could for warmth. Jackson shivered. The old man stirred. "Jackson, I hear bells," he said. "Listen, Jackson! Don't you hear bells? Let's try again, Jackson. I think I know, now, bow to get out of this place." Vainly Jackson tried to pacify the older man and point out to him the futility of trying to find the way through a Canadian forest at night. Any hunter, even a tenderfoot, knows the impossibility of such a task. But the old man, president of a large business organisation and used to having his orders promptly obeyed, Insisted. "I'll stay here," Jackson thought, "and let the old fool go on alone. He's crazy now." And he let Burton Start off through the darkness. But In a few minutes Jackson was |pll<)wing him. "Look, Jackson, there's a light" "Yes, a light, Mr. Burton." Ho talght as well humor tho wanderings Of the half-crazed mind. But--what was it? There was a light.
