Five wainutes later the inspector greeted him with outstretched hand, gave him a grip that made his Angers "I don‘t know what to say to this, Steele," he began, seating Aimself at his desk and motioning Philip to a chair. "To be frank with you, this proposition Of yours is entirely against my best judgment." snap, and locked the office door. He was holding Philip‘s communication when the young man entered. "No, 1 don‘t meant that. There isn‘t a man on the force in whom I have greater confidence thin you. But, if 1 was to gamble. I‘d wager ten to one that you‘d lose out if 1 cent you up to take this man DeBar."

The inspector twisted one of his long red mustaches and smiled a little grimly at the other. "If I were to follow my own judg-‘ .nent I‘d not send one man, but two,". he went on. "I don‘t mean to underâ€" estimate the value of my men when 1 «ay that our friend DeBar, who has evaded us for years, is equal to any two men I‘ve got. 1 wouldn‘t care to zo after him myselfâ€"alone. I‘d want another hand with me, and a mighty good one @ man who was cool, cauâ€" tious, and who knew all of the ins and outs of the game ae well as myself. And hereâ€"" He interrupted himself, and chuckled audibly, "here you are asking permssion to go after him alone! Why. man, it‘s the very next thing to inviting yourself to comimit suicide! Now,. if I were to :end you, and along with you a good, tevelâ€"headed man like Moodyâ€"" "I have had enough cf doubleâ€"harâ€" ness work, unless I am commanded to go, Mr. MacGregor," interrupted Philip. "I realize that DeBar is a dangerous man, but 1 believe that I can bring him down. Will you give me the opportunity?" MacGregor laid his cigar on the edge of the desk and leaned across his companion. the long white fingâ€" vrs of his big hands clasped in front of hm. He always took this position, with a cigar «moldering beside him, when about to say those things which he wished to be indelibly imâ€" pre sed on the memory of his lisâ€" tener. He went immediately to his room "Yes, I‘m going to give you the‘ opportunity," he said slowly, "and I am also going to give you permis jon to change your mind after I MLave told you something about Deâ€" Bar, whom we know as the Seventh Brother. | repeat that, if you &0 alone. it‘s just ten to one that you don‘t get him. Since ©99 four men have gone out after him, and none has come back. There was Forbes, who went in that year; Bannock, who rook up the trail in 1902; Fleisham in 1901, and Gresham in 1907. Since the time of Gresham‘s disappearance we have lost sight of DeBar, and only recently, as you know, have we got trace of him again. He is someâ€" where up on the edge of the Barren Lands. 1 have private information which leads me to believe that the factor at Fond du Lac can take you tirectly to him." £* MacGregor unclasped his hands to pick up a worn paper from a small pile on the desk. I"":ll;“isnl_fie“l;allsrl”o( seven brothers," he added. "His father was hanged." "A good beginning." interjected "There‘s just the trouble," said the ; inspector quickly. "It wast‘t a good beginning. This is one of those p¢â€" culiar cases of outlawry for which the law itself is largely reeponsible, and I don‘t know of any one I would cay this to but you. The father was hanged. as I have said. Six months later it was discovered, beyond a doubt, that the law had taken the life of an Innocent man. and that DeBar had been sent to the gallows by a combination of evidence fabriâ€" cated entirely by the perjury of ene-‘ mies. The law should have vindicatâ€" | ed itself. â€" But it didn‘t. Two of| those who had plotted against DeBar | were arrested, trledâ€"and acqultted, . ar fact which goes to provo the stateâ€" ment of a certain great man that half of the time law is not justice. ‘‘There is no noed of going into. | greater detail about the trials and . |the popular «entiment afterward. In |De('ember of ‘96 DeBar‘s seven sons took justice into their own hands. In one night they killed the three men chiefly instrumental in sending their father to his death, and fled into the North." "Good!" exclaimed Philip. The word shot from him before he bad thought. At first he flushed, ‘then «at bolt« upright and smiled |frankly imto the inspector‘s face as -lhe watched the effect of hie indiscre Philip "So many people thought at the. time," said MacGregor, eying him. with curious aharpness. "Especially the women. For that reason the first three who were caught were merely convicted of manslaughter inâ€" ctead of murder. They served their sentences, were given two years each for good behavior,. and are somewhere in South America. The fourth killed himself when he was taken near Moose Factory, and the tion other three went what the law calls ‘bad.‘ Henry, the oldest of all, killed the officer who was him down from Prince Albert in ‘99, and was afterward executed. Paul, the sixth, returned to his native town seven yeare after the hanging of his father and was captured after wounding two of the officers who went in pursauit of him. He is now in an insane asylum." ‘The inspector paused, and ran his eyes over a fresh slip of paper. . "And all this," said Philip in a ow voice, "because of a crime comâ€" mitted by the law itself. Five men hung, one a sulcide, three in prison and one in an insane aeylumâ€"be cause of a blunder of the law!" "The king can do no wrong," said MacGregor with gentle irony, "and nelther can the law. Remember that, Philip, as long as you are in the serâ€" vite. The law may break up homes, ruin states, set itself i Nemesis on innocent men‘s heelsâ€"but it can do ro wrong. It is the Juggernaut beâ€" :fore which we all must bow our heads, even you and I, and when by any chance it makes a m‘stake, it is still law, and unasseilable. It is the wreatest weapon of the clever and the rich, so it bears 1 moral. Be clever, or be rich." _ ‘"And William DeBar. the seventh brotherâ€"* began Philip. "Js tremendously clever, but not rich," finished. "He has caused us more trouble than any other man in Canada. He is the youngest of the seven brothers, and you know there are curlous superstitions about se enth brothers. In the first pursuit after the private hanging he shot: two men. He killed a third in an atâ€" tempt to save his brother at Moose Factory. Since then,. Forbes, Banâ€" nock, Flesham and Gresham have disappeared. and they al: went,out after him. They were all good men, powerful, physically. skilled in the ways of the wilderness, and as brave as tigers. Yet they all failed. And not only that, they lost their lives. Whether DeBar killed them, or led the on to a death for which his bands were not directly responsible, we have never known. The fact reâ€" mains that they went out after Deâ€" Rarâ€"and died. 1 am not superstiâ€" tious, but 1 ain beginatne to think that DeBar is more than a match for any one man. What do you say ? Will you go with Moody, orâ€"" | That night he added a postscript to the letter which he had written Fome, caying that for a long time l be would noi be heard from again. | The midnight train was bearing him toward Le Pas. "Then you may prepare to leave at once," he said. "The factor at Fond do Lac will put you next to your man. Whatever elce you reâ€" quire I will give you in writing some time toâ€"day." "I‘ll go alone, with your permisâ€" son." said Philip The inspectora voice a‘ once fell into its formal tone of command.

The colonel an‘â€"Miss Isobel," he ead. "They wanted to see you so bad that I had men out for three days after you‘d gone looking for you. Coudn‘t even find your trail. I‘m curious to know what was up." Philip laughed. He felt a tingling joy running through every vein in bis body. It was difficult for himâ€"to repress the trembling eagernese in tis voice. as he said: "Well, I‘m here. 1 wonder if they want to see meâ€"â€"now." "Suppose they do," replied Breed, clowly lighting his . pipe. ‘‘But you‘ve hung off too long. They‘re gone." "Gone®" Philip stared at the facâ€" tor "Gone*" he demanded «gain.
