 On board the yacht. there had been busy days of barter F'urs and ivory had been gathered in heaps in ex- change for guns, knives and needles. Every seaman from cabin boy to cap tain had suddenly got rich in the gam ble of trade for prized blue fox skins and narwhal tusks.
 The Eskimos were equally elated with their end of the bargain. For a beautiful foxskin of less use to a na- tive than dog pelt he has secured pocket knife that would serve him half lifetime.

was to seek the chilled heart of heI former husband, and we were per i forming the unpleasant mission of | taking her to him as wife No. 2. When we later saw Ikwa he did not thank us for the trouble we had taken, but we had expected no reward The speed of the yacht increased as the night advanced. A snow squall frosted the decks, and to escape the icy air we sought our warm berths early. At o'clock in the morning the gray gloom separated and the warm sun poured forth a suitable wealth of August rays.
 At this time we passed the ice bat tered and storm swept cliff of Cape Parry. Beyond was Whale sound. On 3 sea of gold, strewn with ice islands of u1tramarine and alabaster, whales spouted and walrus shouted. The grampus was out early for a fight Large focks of little auks rushed over on hurried missions.
 Entering lnglefieid Gulf.
 The wind was light, but the engines pulled US along at pace just fast enough to allow us to enjoy the superb surroundings. In the afternoon we were well into Inglefeld gulf, and near 1ttiblu there was a strong head wind and enough ice about to engage the eye of the lookout.
 We aimed here to secure Eskimo guides and with them seek caribou in Olrick's bay. While the yacht was tacking for a favorable berth in the drift off Kanga the launch was low cred and we sought to interview the Eskimos of Ittihlu. There were only one woman. a few children and about a score of dogs at the place. The wo- man talked quickly and explained at some length that her husband and others were away on a caribou hunt and she told us without leading ques- tion the news of the tribe for year.
 After gasping for breath like smoth- l cred seal, she began with news of pre- vious years and a history of the for | gotten ages. We started back for the l launch, and she invited herself to the | pleasure of our company to the beach

c'lt into the bay and anchored for $
 lew hours. Oomanoo1 was but one O
 six villages in which the tribe had di
 vided its 250 people for the current
 season.
 To study the people, to further en 1 courage the game of barter and to en | joy the rare sport of yachting and hunting in mans northernmost haunts We prepared to visit as many villages as possible. l In the morning the anchor was rais. ed, and the yacht set sail to light
 wind headed for more northern will lages
 Ducks were secured in abundance. Seals were given chaseA but they were able to escape our craft. Nearing Saunders island herd of walrus was
 seen on pan of drift ice far ahead
 of the yacht.
 Two with splendid tusks were ob-
 tafned, and two tons of meat blubber
 were turned over to our Eskimo al-
 lies.
 An Eskimo Widows Story.
 Among the Eskimo passengers pac- Ing the deck was a widow, who, in tears, told us the story of her 1ife-a story which offered Q peep into the comedy and tragedy of Eskimo exist ence. She had arranged den under a shelter of sealskins among the an chor chains. We had offered her a large bed, with straw in it, and place between decks as a better nest for her brood of youngsters, but she refused, saying she preferred the open air on deck
 She had come from American shores. and, as foreign belle, her hand was sought early. At thirteen Ikwa intro duced her toea welded life not strewn with blubber. He was cruel and not always truthful
 Two girls graced their home. One was now married. When the young est was out of her. hood, Ikwa took the children and invited her to leave, saying that he had taken to wife Ahtah, plump maid and a good seamstress.
 Nance had neither advantage. but she knew something of human nature, and soon found another husband, a good deal older, but better than the \ LII iSI. uSII llIc WdS d udfu one, TOT Nordingwah was not a good hunter, but their home was peaceable, quiet Il and happy. Two children enlivened it. Both were at her side on the Ncht, a boy of eight, the only deaf and dumb Eskimo in all the land, and a thin, pale weakling of three
 Both had been condemned by the Eskimo law of the survival of the it. test, the first because of insufficient senses and the second because it was under three and still on it's mothers | back when the father passed away. | They. were not to participate in the | strife of life.

Had We to spare? Yes, and tin spoon was also given just tC show that we were liberal The yacht was headed northward across Inglefeld gulf It is necessary
 for deep sea craft to give Karnah g
 wide berth. There were bergs enough about to hold the water down, though
 an occasional sea rose with a sicken
 ing thunp.
 The launch lowed the dory, of which
 Nance and her children were the only
 occupants.
 karnah was to be her future home. and as we neared the shore we tried to locate 1kwa, but there was not a man 1n town. Five women, fifteen children and forty-fve dogs came out to meet us. The men were on a hunting cam paign, and their location was not ex- actly known.
 Attahtungwah, Manee's rival, a fat, unsociable creature, stood on a useful stone, where we chose to land, and did not accommodate us with footing on the same platform.
 A Thrifty Eskimo Camp.
 There were five sealskin tents pitch ed among the powders of a glacial stream. Ali immense quantity of nar- Whal meat was placed on the rocks ana stones to dry. Skins were stretch ca on the grass, and a general air of thrift was shown about the place.
 Bundles of sealskins, packages of pelts and much ivory were brought out to trade and establish friendly inter- course. We gave them sugar, tobacco and ammunition in quantities to suit their own estimate of value
 The lat woman entered her tent, and we saw no more of her during our stay, for she did not venture to trade as cid the others. Nance was kindly treated by the other village folk, and a pot steaming with oily meat was soon served in her honor. We were cor dially invited to partake of the feast, but had convenient excuse, just hay ing finished meal.
 Would we not place ourselves at | ease and stay for day or two, as their | husbands would soon return? We were forced to decline their hospitality, for without the harbor there was too much wind to keep the yacht waiting.
 Eskimos have no system of saluta- lion except greeting smile or part Ing look of regret. We got both at the same time as we stepped into the aunch and shouted goodby.
 Aboard, the captain was told to pro- ,eed to Cape Robertson. The wind ,ased, fog came over from the inland ce and plotted out the landscape down 0 about thousand. feet, but under his the air was clear.

Eating for Strength.

The greatest pleasure to be de-
rived from eating is the pleasure one
gets in the knowledge that his food Is
giving him greater strength and vi

Because of this fact there is con-
slant increase in the consumption of
Quaker Oats; every time the strength
making qualities of Quaker Oats have
been tested by scientific investigation
or by experiments in families it has
been found to be a food without an
equal

and it is so carefully prepared and

Darlington tumbled out OF bed at
six and threw out the old-fashioned
green blinds. A warm. golden sum-

peaceful calm of Sunday lay upon the
