A revival is needed when church

only five per cent. OF the young men

probably no higher in Anaconda-and
young women, too, many of them. are
seldom at church ON Sunday. 1t IL time
to hold a revival.
The way to promote revivals Is to
begin in the church. The Bible has
only a few words for the unconverred,
but 1t Is flied with messages to Chris
tians. A revival should begin with the
minister and extend to the church
members. Until the Christians are
right with God they cannot teach
transgressors His ways. A revival
makes wonderful changes. He had seen
saloons closed, gambling broken up,

was converted. A genuine revival Is
powerful and sweeping and Is porn OF

men will pay their debts. enemies Will
be reconcled and changes wrought
that will be wonderful. and better than
any boom the town could have. To
have such a revival the conditions
must be met, sacrifices must be made
in business and In society. but 1T rests
with the people of Anaconda, with the

Kadlu grinned back till his eyes were al

fierce mother whined to see her baby wrig-
Cling far out of reach in the little sealskin
pouch hung above the warmth of the blub-
Der lamp. Kotuko went on with his cary

leather dog harnesses into tiny little
room that opened from one side of the
house; slipped off his heavy deerskin hunt
irg suit, put it into a whalebone net that

down on the sleeping bench to whttle at

grily. One could tell by the soapstone
lamps in the huts that famine was near.
In good seasons. when blubber is plentiful,
the light in the boat-shaped lamps would
be two feet high, cheerful, oily and yellow.
Now it was a bare six inches. Amorau
carefully pricked down the moss wick when
an unmatched flame frightened for mo-
ment, and the eyes of all the family fol-
lowed her hand. The horror of famine up

dread the dark that presses on them with
out break for six months in each year
and when the lamps are low in the houses
the minds of people begin to be shaken and
confused.
But worse was to come.
The underfed dogs snapped and growled
in the passages, glazing at the cold stars
and snufting into the bitter wind. night
after night. When they stopped bowling
the silence fell down again as solid and as
heavy as snowdrift against a door, and
men could hear the beating Of their blood
in the thin passages of the ear and the
humping of their hearts that sounded as
loud as the noise of sorcerers' drums beaten
across the snow. One night Kotuko the
dog, who had been unusually silent in har-
ness, leaped up and pushed his head against
kotuko's knee. kotuko patted him, but
the dog still pushed blindly forward, fawn-
ing. Then KadIu walked and stared into
the CLASSY eyes The dog whimpered as
though he We're afraid, and shivered be-
tween kadlu's knees. Then the hair rose
about his neck and he growled as though
stranger were at the door; then he barked
ioyously and rolled on the ground and at
Kotuko's boot like puppy.
What is it?' said Kotuko. for he was
beginning to be afraid.

the dog sickness" Kotuko, the dog, lifted
his nose and howled and howled again.
Il have not seen this before. What will

any hair who is supposed to live in the far
north and to wander about the country just
before things are going to happen. They
may be pleasant or unpleasant things, but
not even the angekok care to speak about

Like Spiritbear, he has several extra pairs
of legs-six or eight-and this thing jump

wanted them he could have torn it to pieces
above their heads, but the sense of foot
thick snow wall between themselves and
thu wicked dark was a great comfort. The
gale broke with a Shrek of wind caught in
the jagged ice, like the Shrek of train,
and for three days and three nights it held,
never varying one point and never lulling
even for minute. They fed the stone lamp
between their knees and nibbled at the half
warmed seals meat, and watched the
black SCOT gather on the roof for seventy
two hours. The girl counted up the food
In the Sleigh there was not more than
three days supply, and kotuko looked over
the iron heads and the deer sinew fasten-
ings of his harpoon and his sealhook and
his bfrddart. There was nothing else to do.
I'VE shall go to Sedna soon-very soon,"
the girl whispered. 'In four days we shall
lie down and go. VIII your tornaq do moth
ing? Sing her an angekok's song to make
her come here"
He began to sing in the high-pitched
howl of the magic songs. and the gale went
down slowly. In the middle of his song the
girl started, laid her mittened hand and
then her head to the ice floor of the hut.
Kotuko followed her example, and the two
kreeled staring into each others eyes and
listening with every nerve. He ripped
thin silver of whalebone from the rim of
bird snare that lay on the sleigh, and after
Strengthening it set it up upright in little
hole in the Ice, firming it down with his
mitten. 1t was almost as delicately adj
justed as compass needle. and now in
stead of listening they watched. The thin
rod quivered little-the least little jar in
the world-then it vibrated steadily for
few seconds, came to rest and vibrated
again. this time nodding to another point
OF the compass.
''Toc soo1!' said Kotuko. Some big foe
has broken far away outside"
The girl pointed at the rod and shook her
head. 1T is breaking" she said. Listen
to the ground ice. 1t knocks"
When they kneeled this time they heard
the most curious mIffied grunts and knock

mufted blows on a drum, but all dragged

eled through a little horn a weary distance
away.

said Kotuko. 1T is breaking. The tor

yellow brute. All an Inuit
has to do is to get food and skins for him
self and his family. The women folk make
the skins into clothing and occasionally
help in trapping small game, but the bulk
of the food, and they eat enormously,
must be found by the men. If the supply
fails there is no one up there to buy or
beg or borrow from. The people must die.
CHAPTER II.
An mutt does not think of these chances
till he Is forced to. Kadlu, Kotuko,
Amoraq and the boy baby, who kicked
about in Amoraq's fur hood and chewed
pieces Of blubber all day, were as happy
together as any family in the world. They
came of very gentle race-an mutt sell

strikes child who did not know exactly
what telling lie meant still less how to
steal They were content to drag their
living out of the heart of the bitter, hope
less cold: to smile oily smiles and tell
queer ghost and fairy tales of evenings,
and eat till they could eat no more, and
sing the endless woman's song: ANNA
ava, ava alnanah ah! ah!" through the
long, lamp-lighted days as they mended
their clothes and their hunting gear.
. But one terrible winter everything be-
trayed them. The Tununirmiut returned
from the yearly salmon fishing and made
their houses on the early ice to the north
of Bellots Island ready to go after the

Sne was foreigner, picked up starving,
and she could bring nothing to the house

Amoraq jumped from the bench where she
sat and began to sweep things into the
girls lap-stone lamps, iron skin scrapers,
tin kettles, deerskins embroidered with
musk OK teeth, and real canvas needles such
as sailors uSe-the finest dowry that has

also these" said Kotuko, laughing and
singing to the dogs, who thrust their cold
muzzles into the girls face
"Ah. said the angekok, with an important
cough, as though he had been thinking it
all over. las soon as Kotuko left the vii
age went to the singing house and sang
magic; sang all the long nights and called
upon the spirits of the reindeer. My sing
ing made the gale blow that broke the ice
and drew the two dogs toward Kotuko
when the ice would have crushed his bones.
My song drew the seal in behind the broken
Ice. My body lay still in the quaggi, but

did. l did it."
Everybody was very full and sleepy. SO
no one contradicted; and the angekok help
meat and lay down to sleep with the 9TH
ers. in the warm, well-lighted oil-smelling
house:
Now kotuko. who drew very we'll in the
mutt way. scratched pictures of all these
adventures on a long fiat piece of ivory
with hole at one end. When he and the
girl went north to Ellesmere land in the
year of the wonderful open winter he left
the picture story with Kadlu. who lost 1T

down one summer on the beach of Lake
Netelling at Nikesiring, and there a lake
mutt found it next spring and sold it to a
man at Imigen. who was Interpreter on a
Cumberland sound whaler, and he sold II
to Hans Olsen, who was sailor on board a
big steamer that took tourists to the North
Cape in Norway. When the tourists sea-
son was over the steamer ran between Lon
don and Australia, stopping at Ceylon, and
there Olsen sold the ivory to an Angalese
jeweler who sold imitation cats eye sap
phires. 1 found it under some rubbish in
his house at Colombo, and with Hans help

A Sudden Change.

INHE giving way of summer to
winter is often very quickly
done, and unfortunately the Civ
ing way of the human beings by this
change is often as sudden and sad
But when you stop to think, why
should it not be so? The pores of
the skin are open, the muscles are
relaxed, the thermometer falls, the
winds blow, the pores are closed and
the body becomes chilled, and then
you are sick. Now do you ever stop
to think that all this work is thrown
back upon--what? The kidneys,
nothing else. When the skin does
not throw off the waste of the body
by perspiration, the kidneys must do
it, and too often they cannot stand
the sudden strain.
You know, if you are we'll read and
in touch with the times, that there
is but one cure for any kidney diff
Guilty, but one means of preserving
the kidneys in health, and that is
Warmers Safe Cure. So wonderful
have been its results, so much has
it accomplished, that physicians,
scientists and the best informed peo-
pie, both men and women, through
out the world have admitted it. If
you are suffering from any form of
chill, pains in the muscles, lack of
appetite, headache, or the many ills
which come at this special season,
you should not delay a moment, and
you are foolish if you continue to
suffer when you can so readily OBJ
tain relief. o26

slopes. and few ground willows put out
their woolly buds. tiny stone crop or so
makes believe to blossom; beaches of fine
gravel and rounded stones run down to the
open sea, and polished powders and
streaked rocks lift up above the granu-
lated snow. But all that goes away in a
few weeks. and the wild winter locks down
again on the land; while at sea the torn

In the winter Kadlu would follow the
seals to the edge of the land ice and spear
them as they came up to breathe at their
blow holes. The seals must have open
water to live and catch fish in, and in the
deep of winter the ice would sometimes
run eighty miles without break from the
