The Yukon Trail By William MacLeod Haiiie (Continued) Big Bill had put down his ax and was approaching. He was not ex actly suspicious, but he did not be lieve in taking unnecessary chances. "I tell you I'm out of training. Played the last game, haven't we? <"ome through with a square meal, you four-flusher," demanded Klliot in a querulous voice. He turned to Macy. "Look here, Cap. Haven't i played the game all fall? Don't .1 get what I want now we're through?" The voice of the young man was . xcited. His eyes had lost their quiet steadiness and roved restlessly 1o and fro. If Big Bill had held any doubts one glance dissipated them. "Sure you do. Hustle over and },o!r Dud with the breakfast. Holt I'll look out for our friend." Elliot and Holt found no more . V ; <n< e o talk together that morn ,ng. Sometimes the young" govern .tnt official lay staring straight in front of him. Sometinres he ap oearei' to doze. Again lie would talk in t.he disjointed, way of one no* clear in the head. Ar. opportunity came in the aft ernoon for a moment. "Keep your eyes skinned for a • •hance to lav out the guard to-night ..-.;d get his gun." Holt said quickly. Gordon nodded. "I don't know that I've got to do everything just is you say." he complained aloud tor the benefit of George, who was pass ing on his way to the place where tlie horses were hobbled. "N'ow —now! There ain't nobody Irving to boss you," Holt explained in a patient voice. •They'd better not," snapped the invalid. "Some scrapper that kid." said •he horse wrangler with a grin. Macy took the first watch that -light. He turned in at two after he had roused Dud to take his place. The cook had been on duty about -mi hour when Klliot kicked Holt, who was sleeping beside li'm, to make sure that he was ready. The old man answered the kick with an other. Presently Gordon got up. yawned and strolled toward the edge of the camp. Don't go and get lost, young fel low." cautioned Dud. Gordon, on liis way back, pas-sed behind the guard, who was sitting h-iior fashion before a smudge with a mulcy shotgun across his knees. ••This ain't no country for checha koes to be wondering around with out a keeper," the cook continued. "Looks like your folks would have better sense than to let their rah iv. h boy—" He got no farther.

The old miner, waiting * | with every muscle ready and every] nerve under tension, flung aside his blanket and hurled himself at the; guard. It took him less time than i it takes to tell to wrest the gun: from the cook. , j He got to his leet just as Big Bill, 1 his eyes and brain still fogged with [ sleep, sat up and began to take notice of the disturbance. • "Don't move," warned Holt sharply, j "Petter throw your hands up. No | monkey business, do you hear? I'd as l'ef blow a hole through you as not." Bis- Bill turned bitterly to Elliot.' "Fc you were faking all the tim \ I young fellow. We" save your lu'e i an,' you round on us. You're a pretty slick proposition as a double- 1 c> osser." "And that ain't all," chirped up i Holt blithely. "Ket me introduce o.ir friend to you. Mr. Big Bill Macy. I This is Gordon Elliot, the land agent appointed to look over the Kama:- j lah claims. Selfridge gave you lads | this penitentiary job JO as I wouldn't meet Elliot when be reached the camp. If he hadn't 1 been so darned anxious about it. i our young friend would have died here on the divide. But Mr. Self ••it'ge kindly outfitted a party and sent us a hundred miles into the hills to rescue the perishing, as the old sayin' goes. Consequence is, El liot .ind me meet up and have that nice confidential talk after all. The J wj.ys of Providence is strange, as' | you might say, Mr. Macy." "Your trick," 'conceded Big Bill ! sullenly. "Now what are you going | to do with us?" "Not a thing—going to leave you! right here to prospect Wild Goose j ' creek." answered Holt blandly. ; "Burden says there's gold up lier-? ; ; heaps of It." j Bili Macy condemned Durden in ' | language profane and energetic. He i diln't stop at Durden. Holt came in ; for a share of it, also Elliot md 1 Selfridge. I "Cut it out. Bill. That line o' talk ; don't buy you anything." said Hol [ way curtly. "What's the use of ' beefing?" "Now you're shouting, my friend.'' agreed old Gideon. "I guess, Elliot, 1 ; you can loosen up on the chef's throat awhile. He's had pe>su£diri{; enough don't you reckon? I'll sit here i-nd sorter keep the boys corn | pany while you cut the pack-ropes | ai'd bring 'em here. But first I'd step in and unload all }h hardware ! they're packing. If you don't one I of them is likely to get anxious. I'd ' hate to see any of them commit | suicide with none of their friends ! here to say, 'Don't he look natural?'" Elliot brought hack the p&ck ropes and cut them into suitable '! lengths. Holt's monologue rambled on. He was garrulous and affable. Not for a long time had he enjoyed himself so much. Gordon tied the hands of Big Bill behind him, then roped his feet to gether. after which he did the same for Hoi way. The old miner super intended the job and was not satis lied till he had added a few extra knots on his own behalf. "That'll hold them for awhile, I j shouldn't wonder. Now if you'll i just cover friend chef with this sav:ed-oft gat. Elliot, I'll throw the diamond hitch over what supplies we'll need to get back to Kamatlah. I'll take one broncho and leave the other to the convicts," said Holt cheerfully. "Forget that convict ' stuff.' growled Maey. "With Macdonald back of us and the Guttenchilds back of him, you'll have a hectic time getting anything on us." "That might be true if these folks were back of you. But are they? Course I ain't any Sherlock Holmes, but it don't look to me like they'd i play any such fool system as this." I After Holt had packed one of the I animals he turned to Elliot. I "I reckon we're ready." j Under orders from Elliot Dud fixed j up the smudges ,and arranged the | mosquito netting over the bound ; men so as to give them all the pro -1 tection possible. "We're going to take Dud with us for a part of the trip. We'll send him back to you later in the day. You'll have to fast till he gets b?ck, | hut outside of that you'll do very well if you don't roll around trying ! to got loose, (lo that, and you'll jar i loose the mosquito netting.

Mr. Carroll will leave Venice with General Di Viter francliesca, so as to make the tour of the trenches on Christmas eve. They will be accompanied by de tachments of soldiers with trucks bearing huge bundles of gifts for distributions among the troops. Each soldier will receive a pack age containing socks, handkerchiefs, tobacco, sweets, some articles of food and a distinctive present. Another distribution will bo made in Venice on Christmas eve and Christmas morning to wounded sol diers and civilian poor. Large num bers of wounded are now coming in from the Piave t.Of the hospitals of Venice. Each of these will be re membered with clothing, food and sweets. Civilians Cared For The civilian poor are being cared for regularly to the number of 1,200. Eight hundred received meals at one American soup kitchen and 400 at another American 1 kitchen. In addition to the extra Christmas dinner each woman and child will receive a present of cloth ing and stockings, most of which has been manufactured in the American Red Cross factory at Maestre, a i suburb of Venice. The city of Venice remains com- I paratively undisturbed by the recent J renewal of enemy pressure on the ] lower Piave nearest to Venice, I where his line is twelve miles east of the city. While shells from the ] heavy guns could reach Venice, it is | known that the enemy has been un able to bring across the river any thing except machine guns and a few pieces of small calibre. No shells have fallen anywhere near the city. The rumble of the bombardment can be heard day and night but the population has become accustomed to it, as it had to the previous menace from the air and the sea. One of the chief reasons for calm is the belief that Pope Benedict has intervened in some way by which | the Austrians will not shell the city. I This report cannot be verified but I the population generally believes it and it is one of the nilain reasons for the calm with which the pres sure on the lower Piave has been accepted. Art Treasures Removed The custodians of the art treasures in the city have considered it desir able to move a large number of ] paintings and statues which up to this time had been stored within the! city. The most valuable were sent I south months ago but now the en- i tire bulk of removable art treasures] has been taken away. It is esti-1 mated that 12,000 square meters of i paintings were taken frbm the Ducal Palace alone. The famous equestrian statue be fore St. Marks is being dismounted for removal, although it was at first intended to protect it by a brick covering. Few of the remaining civilians wish to leave Venice but the municipality and the American Red Cross assist all who wish to get away. Ml ST St PPOItT FAMILY Tile court to-day ordered William J.
