Thor, the
Norwegian.
BY FREDERIC VAN RENSSELAER,
DEFY.

copyrighted 1900, by F. V. r. Dey)
There is no place in all the world so des-
olate, particularly when a norwest sale
had been on the rampage for three sue
ccssive days. flashing the sea into fury of
foam and turmoil, as that part of the
North sea where II washes against the
western coast of the peninsular of Den
mark. At such times the air is frost
laden and benumbing, even in mid-sum-
mer. The water itself is of an omlnous
leaden tint, like a battleship with her war
paint on. Even the foam which caps the
waves is not white and fiakey as it is in
the Southern zones, but seems to have
been adulterated with some refuse tint
suggestive of the dirty suds of wash-day.
The wind is as erratic as the waves which
chop numerically; it howls and shrieks
and roars with deadly energy for time,
and then means sullenly while it gener ates
new force for more furious ons aught.
Deep-sea sailors dread this region and
avoid 1t when they can, but the amphib-
sous Norwegian and the storm-born Dane
love 1t as savage loves the wilderness.
If you should study one of the older
charts of this bad-tempered sea you
would discover that fifty-two miles off the
coast of Denmark. by the compass north
northwest from Tyboron, there looms

onward, as If his friend was steering
straight for the forbidden rock; but he
never looked astern. He knew that the
hand that held the tiller was strong, tried
and sure.
Then came the mighty boom of the mad
dened waters against she barrier of rock
and the yacht was enveloped in a show
er of foam and mist through which, hall
obScured, the black monument lowered.
! The helmSman released his hold upon the
sheet, the boom flew forward with q sud
den crash against the shrouds, the sloop
heeled over to starboard until her deck
was half submerged in water and she
came about like the swapping of whip.
1t was at that instant that Craddock
made his leap.
Twenty minutes later the sloop was
safely moored within the little bay, which
was as placid as mill pond. and the two
men were snug in the cabin with nothing
but the roar of the rushing wind above
them and the booming of the water
against the Western extremity of the
rock to remind them OF the perils through
which they had just passed
While the storm ragged on and daylight
became smothered by advancing night.
they cooked and ate their supper and
smoked their pipes in tranquil security.
Why they were where they were, over
taken by a furious gale in the most dan
gerous part of the North sea, does not
matter, buf II coast guard, or customs
officer could have inspected the articles
that were stored away in secret lockers
aboard the sloop, he might have called
them by the now almost obsolete term,
smuggiers. Ostensibly, however, the
sloop was nothing more than a mere plea >
ure boat, and they, two venturesome sail
ors, who found 1t possible to navigate a
craft which ordinarily should have car
ried crew of four or five.
When morning came the storm had in
creased in violence, and so mighty were
the seas which swept before it that not
infrequently clouds of spray and masses
of water leaped over the summit of the
rock, to again fall into the sea many
ia thoms to leeward The rushing of the
wind split in twain by the barrier which
sheltered them, came together again be-
yond the Devils Nose with noise like
distant thunder.
After they had disposed of their coffee,
he who had held the helm through the
storm OF the preceding night and brought
the sloop safely into this strange retreat,

look." He pointed with his disengaged
hand, and Craddock saw the figure of a
woman wrapped in a cork jacket, dashed
to the pinnacle of the beleaguered yacht
which was now not more than 80 fathons
from the rock.
At the very instant that the two men
discovered her, a mighty wave rolled up
over the stern, and broke in mid air,
overwhelming the yacht with a flood Of
water that crushed and made a wreck of
her before their eyes.
For TWO seconds they gazed spellbound
upon the scene, and then without a word
of warning or intention, Craddock's COM
panion leaped upward and outward and
plunged head downward 10 the water hf-
ty feet below.
Craddock did not move. He stood as If
petrified, clinging with both hands to the
rock from which the wind seemed deter
mined to hurl him; and he gazed with
every faculty concentrated in his eyes
upon the awful scene of wreckage and
destruction. The yacht careened over,
half filled with water, and surely foun-
dering, was thrown by the violence of
che wave that struck her out of line with
the Devils nose and almost before there
was time 10 realize the awful thing that
had happened, she had passed beyond his
view 10 Reward. lie was UlmIy con-
scious that the pinnacle and wheel and
all the after-rigging of the yacht had
been torn loose and swept away In the
vortex, and with them had disappeared
the figures of the woman and of the two
men who were dashed TO the wheel.
Then almost directly beneath the spot
where he stood, on the crest of a wave,
and breasting it with the power of
giant, he saw his friend. Beyond him.
in the trough of the sea, another figure
appeared. Then both were lost to view.
There was no sign of excitement in
Craddock's face or manner. He turned
with deliberation, passed around the jut-
ting rock into the cavern, found the ships
lantern still burning there, made his way
rapidly down and out through the cleft
into the open air, thence hurriedly TO the
waters edge, and in moment more he
was in the dingey, scullng rapidly past
the sloop toward the open sea.
When he had reached certain point
beyond which it would have been folly
to have venIured, by artfully working

woman, boy or girl who would bring in
that blue wolf dead or alive.
The wolf stood eight feet high in her
stocking feet and it didn't make a bit
of difference to her whether mamma had
a headache or not, when she felt like COM
ing in and eating up the canary or the
gold fish or the horse or a whole flock of
sheep, why she did it and there was no
sheep dog, so brave nor any marksman
so sure that he was able to damage old
Blueskn as she was called.
Why, she had enough lead in her to sink
a ship, but she grew fat on lead and cried
for more when the farmers got tired of
shooting at her.
It's singular that no one suspected that
she was an enchanted wolf. OF course
you knew it as soon as you began TO read
this, but that's only because of the name
of this series. Those hard headed Maine
farmers never thought of Blueskn being
enchanted even when they considered her
preposterous color which shaded from

very dull"
After Ike had gone down the road with
his quarter Ned went off GO hunt up Car
roll Milliken and Jed Wadsworth and find
ing them he told them Ike's story without
delay.

his rosy cheeks growing several shades
palsr at the thought Of his Cerulean High
ness.
That afternoon they made bows out of
hickory wood, and strung them with whip
cord. The next morn ng early, the day
being Saturday, they left home without
saying a word 70 any one and sat ost for
latham -Four Corners. 1t was at the flag
end of the winter and the roads were
frozen here andT snow covered there but
they didn't mind the mud and they liked
the snow. Each boy had made his own
preT arations for the coming events.

said Jed.

Little Ned said nothing.
At the sign post at the corners lay the
hollow log and into It crept Carroll. 1t
was a tight squeeze for he was a chubby
boy but he managed to work his way in
and then Jed went after him and as he
was slim he had no trouble.
It might have frightened some boys to
notice that although the two boys were
each four feet high and the trunk was
only six feet long they didn't come out
at the other end, but Ned didn't quite
know what fear was so in he went.
A moment later all three boys found
themselves in a field starred with GRIM
SIN daisies, so that the meadow looked
aflame with the flowers. In The middle of

fruit tree.
When he reached the top he found three
branches that were shaped exactly like
arrows even to che feathering. One had
white point, one had a blue point, and
the other red point.
Il bony the red one" yelled Jed from
below
And I guess I'll take the blue one
said Carroll. and that left Ned with Hob
sons choice or the white one. Person
ally he would have liked the red one
but he didn't want to make a fuss, so he
broke the three arrows from the tree and
threw them down and then he slid down
the trunk and fortunately reached the
ground with falling, although his hands
and knees felt warm from the friction.
That's the highest tree l ever climbed"
said Ned, with pardonable pride.

But we did Slip" broke in Carroll,
and it was Ned who got the arrows. Now

Jed rushed at IL with his usual over
confidence and found himself sinking up
70 his knees in mud. Carroll ran 10 his
assistance, but became mired himself So
Ned said: Il guess 1t will have to be
taken slowly" and with that he gave
them each a hand and bucked the hill
with head down and sturdy, steady stride
and in minute IL began to rise like a
billow and the three boys found them
selves at the top. And there what a
view disclosed itself. For at least three
miles in front of them the descent was

One day she came down like Sennache-
ribs army on sheepfold and spoiled for
ty-eight legs of mutton, which gave the
alarm by crying baa in twelve different
tones, there being one voice to every four
legs, as is usual with mutton and other
roasts.
1t was the morning after this slaughter
among the sheep that Ike the scissors
grinder. suggested to little Ned Soule that
the wolf was enchanted. Ike tramped all
over Maine and nobody knew where he
had originally come from but he was
popularity supposed to be one hundred and
three years old and he himself said that
he remembered the battle OF Bunker Hill

think, was ridiculous, because the battle
of Bunker Hill was fought in seventeen

Well, as 1 was saying, he stopped at
