Benham's pound of flesh lid been paid by the flare of anger and the deep humiliation of her fath er when the old factor learned of Ms Indebtedness to the man he hated most in all the world—John Benham, the free-trader. That had been the payment ^ Benham expected, Ms re venge for her impertinence in stow ing away on his boats, but the pay ment had been far heavier than that since she had discovered in her heart the deep regard she held for him. It was her- love . 77 love almost at first sight, she now realized. Benham had leaped ashore to se cure birch boughs and fashion a small enclosure oh the boat to give her ^shelter and privacy. She had been touched by his consideration and thoughtfulness then, and again when they had stopi>ed for the night and With perceptible 'speed he drew away from Benham, and closed in on the fleeing Deteroux. His uicient cun ning was stronger than their great strength. Deteroux leaned on Ma paddle, and the power he’bent into his stroke snapped the overstrained maple short in his hands. Snarling he whirled, whipping up the gun. In the same second the caho^ struck, and Moosac lunged out in || great spraw'ling leap. A moment his spread-eagled body hung clear in the air, and Ellen saw, ii^ the upraised right hand, a length of glittering steel. Straight into the center of that flying body Deteroux flung a bullet But Moosac’s desperate lunge cairied him through to his goal. Ellen saw him crash down upon Deteroux, and saw the glittering knife rise and fall —rise and fall. And when it rose the third time it no longer gleamed in Benham smiled back at his.t “crisis” the Tail way brotherhood.? have - not only maintained the respect and good will of the companies and the public, but have steadily bettered their own economic condition. Searchers for a new federal labor policy point to this mediation law as a good base to start from, while much study is being giyen to the British labor act, which places •much mpre responsibility upon or- iganlzed labor than any statutes so [far enacted in-this country.

He laughed-^lmiir triumphant. r + «<he had carelessly gone for a walk j ^he sun. Then both men toppled into in the wild, uncharted wood and Ben- j water, ham, fearful of her safety, had wait ed for her return in i^pite of the fa tigue from the heavy day’s work. They had talked together then and Ellen had been .startled by Bepham’s appreciation of, the beauties of the north country. Most of the men she knew were rough, hardened by the rigorous life. There, had been some thing almost poetic in John Benham’s understanding. In some intangible way it "seemed that a bond\of friend ship, of common understanding be tween them was boim there aK^hat moment. Now Ellen knew it was Ibve. For a long tjrne Ellen had stood, there, across the dying campfire flames, staring at this strange, still, elemental man. Her mind seethed with truant thoughts, and words she ,lare not speak lay close to her lips. Then one of the sleeping (Indians had stirred, breaking the spell. She had moved away. “Good-night,” she had called softly. “Good-night—John Benham.” She shivered a little now at the memory. The great disappointment at Tthe later turn of events filled her heart almost to the bursting point. ^Hfirc was her mate ... the man she lov«d . . r and aha -Had-ao Utito faith Mnnaar stizxed. His ^yes opened “^Ellen,” he muttered huskily. “El len.” Her hands stole upward unlfPhef finger-tips wexe, cvessMg his swol len eyes. “I’m sure your poor eyes would be quickly well again if you would let me kiss them, dear,” she said softly. The next moment she was gasping and writhing with exquisite pain, for Bonham’s arms were crushing her to him, vibrant wishes of sieel. At last the man and %,'oman stir- i-ed and stood slightly apart, their eyes locked in strange glory. The lonesome trail was over. (The End). grass, but >whether it Woidd' be to the prejMmtf who has declared he will ae^eptfno compromise, is another, question. It ia possible that out of '" the agitation nvay come the submis sion to the states of one, or more con^^i stitutionah amendments. More than twenty resolutions for, j^mendmenta have been introduced in both houses. One which has long been discussed would limit the president tovone term of six years. Others would limit the power of the supreme court to de clare acts of congress invali4, and several of the propo.sals^ undertake to broaden the grant of power to con gress to include many kinds-of'sociM legislation and to take from the states many of the powers now re served to them. There was a sudden whirl of foam. A hand appeared—^nce. In it a knife still gleam^. Then it slid slowly from sight. At this moment the straining Benham drove his canoe surging over the spot. His right arm shot down into the water to the shoulder and gripped something that struggled weakly. Slowly Benham straightened and dragged the limp figure of Moosac over the side of the canoe. His glance seemed to probe the placid depth of the lake again fpr a moment, then with a gesture of resignation, he spun 'tjie canoe about and drove it back towards the shore. ^ MoOaac was still breathing when th^y lifted him g#ntly out, but it was plain~that"life was ebbing swiftly. He was shot-^through the center of the body. \ * White-faced, and murmuring with pity, Ellen cradled the old Indian’s he^ in her lap, and with gentle fin^ gers ’Smoothed back his ^bin, .bla(5lt, dripping^iocks. x “Moosac,” she murmured brwenly, “Oh—Moo.sac—how can I face Git^ie now?

Unless there is a fim check upon the pri'sent inflationary trend there is great danger of another collapse which might be as serious as that of 1929 and which, if it should occur heforq the election of 1940, would se- riou.sIy affect the ^ chances-^ of the Democratic party continuing in pow er. But offsetting that in the minds Mr.^nd Mrs. Fletcher Peavy of .considerations and understanding that she had be lieved all the false reports and lying stories about him, I?he had insisted^on calling the Northwest Mounted Po lice and demanding Benham’s arre.rt. To be sure, later events had cleared him of suspicion and trapped the real /culprit, but she could well understand why Benham should hate her and re fuse to listen to her apologies. Time passed, and she was uncon scious of it. She merely sat and look ed out towards a future which seem ed veiy drab and very grey wid very empty.'At length she heard voices ■ approaching. She rose and stepped ashore, ,her face stpny and expres sionless; Whitlow was there with his prison er. In the background was Moosac and John Benham," with a number of the tribe slinking furtively beyond. “I’m sorry. Miss Mackay,” Whitlow was saying, “but you and Moosac will have to return to the Fort in another canoe. I cannot chance your safety by carrying you with me and my pria- . oner, Deteroux is desperate.” “"-Ellen nodded briefly. “Just as you say, trooper,” she answered. Whitlow stepped up to Deteroux, a tiny Jc?y in his hands. “Let’s see those cuffs, Deterotix,” he said brisk ly, “I’ll see that you earn your pa;^; age with a paddle. And make no mil-' take about it. I’ll shoot dead. you try any tricka” Deteroux shrugged again and held out his handa The cuffs fell away; The next moment Deteroux explod ed into movement. One ternfic back hand blow swept' Whitlow ita the ground, half unconscious. With a swoop that rivalled the speed of a diving fish-hawk Deteroux 'was uponj him. The next second he was erect again, and in hi# liand was Whitlow’s revolver. “3ack!” he snarled...: Whirling, he thrust the canoe out into the lake with a tremendoM shove, and by a flying leap settled in the stem of it Then he caught up a paddls and sent the frail craft foam ing away. The paralsrxed group beMnd him ‘hroke into feverish actimi. Benham laoed away up to the sh<»e to where other canoes were beached, but al ready, running like a deer, old Moo- sac was leading him. Whitlow lurched >to has feet and shouted for a rifle. “Johnl” cried Ellen, despairingly. “John Benham. HeTl kill you.” ^ Benkitm did'nct hear her. L(»g be fore she could reach him he was jJloat and hurling all his splendid strength againet a paddle. His canoh Strangely enough, he had heard El len’s words. ■“You may tell her our honor is clean now, little gentle-heart. You may tell her our own Fawn Eyes, who has been long in the arms of the Great Spirit, is smiling again, for, thoughv^Moosac was old, his hand was cunning and his arm was strong. “Many, rtvany"summers ago it was, when Fawn Eyes danced and sang through all the seasons. She was young and joyous. Her sweetness and beauty was that of the wood violet. Then Deteroux came. “He, too, was young, and good to look upon. Yet even then the man was evil and his tongue was forked. And so there came a day when Fawn Ejres crept home to us. Her spirit was gone and her shame like some ter rible disease. And one dark night her spirit went away to the Great Mas ter. » t . “ “Long — long has Moosac waited. But today the trail ended, and at its ending Moosac’s arm was strong and his aim was true. And, Fawn Eyes is smiling.” Moosac’s "eyer closed again and, gradually, the hatah, savage s^ of Ms features softened into a look of peace. * Tears blinded Ellen’s eye# and trickled ,^down^_her cheeks. They fell moist upon" MoSii?s wriqkM^ faoabead. Ellen felt a hand upon her"' shoul der, powerful—yet gentle. She looked up. “He was a very brave man, Miss Mackay,” Benham murmured. “And he shall have a brave man’s grave.” They buried Moosac when the pur ple gloom of the forest was massing in the shadows. Then began the flur ry of departure. Tepees were stripp^ of covering,* implements of the hunt, and trapping industry were gathered. Bales of furs unearthed. " Ellen sought J^n Benham. She found him at the fake edge—alone. A single Peterboro^h canoe rested oni the sands. Ellen*# pulse leaped, and she looked at the silent Benham shyly.

Labor Policy Needed - Out of the labor .situation precipi tated by the “sit-down” strikes in the automobile industry has arisen a sriong demand for the clarification of the government’s labor policy. There iji, indeed, no definiite labor policy on which all elements in the administration are agreed. The major item of labor legislation, the Wagner labor Illations act, is still before the supreme court awaiting decision as to its constitutionality. That it is an in adequate tool In any serious labor dispute is indicated by the fact that it has not been invoked in the auto mobile strikes. It places no power in the government to intervene un less the organized workers in an in dustry call on the Mtional labor re lations bcard for aid. Employers can not, under the Wagner act, take the initiative in calling for a decision as to the rights or wrongs of a dispute with their employees, and now power is lodged in any government agency to compel workers to accept the la bor board’s decisions if they should be contrary to the workers' demands. Regardless of the constitutionality of the Wagner act, there is a general concensus that an entirely different kind of labor legislation is needed.
