On the bridge, the men worked without pausing for sleup-wicking forating against the on-coming danger of the ice. Far into the night, under the giant search- lights, they strove to complete the unfinished span, which was still{ half-supported upon its wooden| piling. If thé ice, should sweep sway the supports, there would be danger of the whole middlo apan collapsing with them."
Dan and the Doctor, in the absence of O'Neil, fought the ale
ments with their eats over-listening for the groan of the breaking ice, which would mean the ruination of the entire O'Neil enterprise, and the forfeiture of the road to the Coppar Trust.

Suddenly the ice jar gave way, and the streain of broken ice poured through, carrying two sections of the piling before it. The men had barely time to seram-- ble to safety, before the scaffolding on which they had been working was swept away beneath them.
In one mad rush they were off the bridge, and the pleadings and com- nunds of Dan and the Doctor were of no avail. They refused to risk their lives again on the dangerous bridge. After wasting his breath on them, the Doctor shouted to. Dan: "Dan, our only hope lies with the Chief, For God's sake, go and; see if he's back.”
Dan covered the distance between | the bridge and the hut in record time. Bursting in, he found O'Neil, who had just arrived from Omar with Natalie.
