In the middle OF March q steamboat
from Sioux City forging its way up
the stream that still ran ice, met pitt
full ghost Of a boat. Both her paddle
wheels were shattered. and she was
SCARED from stem to stern with the ice.
Idly swinging about with the whiri Of
the heavy spring current, she came
down like a floating corpse.
When the crew boarded her they
found the stripped skeleton Of man
on deck. They went through the cabin
and discovered no one. But, after much
battering at the door at the foot Of the
aft stairs. they entered the engine
room.
In a corner of the room gray
haired. gray whiskered thing, not to-
tally unlike man, crOuched and whim-

In the evening they chopped hole in
the ice and thrust the body into it.
There was no ceremony: they wanted
this quiet thing out Of sigh.
The next morning only two men APP
peared on the boat-Hanway and the
deck hand. A fresh trail wound south
ward down the valley. The second en-
gineer and the second pilot. taking the
last gun and the greater share OF the
grub. had fled in the night from the

of the two who remained. one had
lost his reason and the other kept con-
tinually drunk. for having despairsd
of following his deserving companions,
since there were no more guns, he con-
soied himself with a key of liquor
which he had discovered In the cap
tain's room.
The wolves, grown bold with hunger,
came close to the boat at night and
filled the darkness with wsilings- And
through the day the two men stared
vacantly down the white valley into
the south They seldom spoke to each
other, for an unreasoning fear, an in
sane suspicion held them apart.
In the latter part of February sud
den change came over Hanway- He
seemed as one who had been aroused
from long sleep. In vague way he
again realized the situation, and a
longing to live and see the spring grew
upon him until il was an obsession.
Now. for the first time, he knew tina;
the grub was running short, that there
was only bacon left and not enough
to feed two men until the spring thaw.
But there was enough for one.
He would be that one,
The will to live grew big in his weak
ened brain ard filled it full, until there
was no place for pity. He got up in
the night. seized the bacon and the
| liquor and hid them in the engine
/ room. All the next day he sat in the
| engine room with a stick of wood in
his hand, guarding the priceless stuff
which alone could enable him to see
/ the spring.
And the deck hand threatened ant

/ but Hanway guarded his treasure. He
would sec the spring again.
But in the middle of the third night
