add a little milk and sugar. Drink

During the day take this: Mix one

time you mix the honey and oil.
Eat plenty of eggs and drink a great

fact. Indeed, he was hardly more than
a moment in approximating the true
explanation. There might well be, he
supposed, up somewhere In the face
of the cliff a cave, or shelter, of which
he knew nothing, and easily accessible
to anyone who happened to possess a
lying-machile.
Skirting the cliff and keeping well in
it's shadow, he made his way with his
last load, back to his cave. Here he
spent a few minutes cleaning his rifle,
making sure hat the mechanism of the
breech was working perfectly, and fill
ing it's magazine full of cartridges.
The moon was just setting, but the
sky was still bright enough to give
him a good hope of making out Cay
ley's winged figure against it.
He did not follow the old track down
the beach, but made straight out over
the rough masses of ice which COW
cred the bay. 1t was lark enough to
do away with the danger that the sky
man might see him first.
He was in better humor than he had
been at any time since the coming of
the Aurora. He was out hunting, and
confidently expected to succeed in bag

sions which incite men to do murder,
he felt, for the moment, none whatever.
He expected a certain pleasure in get
ting the winged man squarely on the
sight of his rifle n bringing him down
hurting, from the sky, with one clean
shot.
He expected he would come. He was
almost certain to return to his shelter,
wherever it was, before the last of the
light had faded from the sky.
Roscoe ~squatted down in the lee of
the great hummock of ice, surveyed
the heavens with keen. practised eyes,
munched on a strip of dried wairus-
meat which he had brought with him,
and waited very contentedly.
He had not long to wait. Long be-
fore the moon-twilight had gone out Of
the sky he saw in 1t. s~ilhouetted against
it, the sight from which he had once
fed with such mad terror-the broad
expanse of the sky-man's wings.
He was coming along almost directly
above the spot where Roscoe waited
and within easy range. Roscoe had
raised his rifle and was sighting de-
liberately along the barrel before the
idea occurred to him, which caused him
to lower 1t again rather suddenly, and
swear at himself a little. under his
breath, as a man will who has nearly
made a bad mistake.
What a fool he would have been. to
be sure, if he had killed the sky-man
before learning from him the location
of this unknown shelter of his; for, If
the man was living. there was a pretty
good chance that the woman was too.
There would be plenty of chances to
kill the man after he had discovered
the location of their nesting-place.
So, instead of firing, he scrambled
up to the top of the nearest ice hum

He sprang to his feet, at last, drip

caught up his bundled wings, unfurled
them and took the air with a rush.
Once he had jerked himself aloft to q
height a little above the crest of the
cliff, 1t was hardly more than a matter
of seconds before he came opposite the
dome-like mound of snow which COW
cred the p~ilot-house.
There was no light shining out of the
tunnel entrance. But that was as he
had expected 1t to be. He made 1t out
easily enough; and in another moment
had alighted there.
"Jeanne!' he called.
1t was not the exertion of flight, but
a sudden intolerable apprehension that
made Inpl GREATNESS. The word had
halted a little In his throat. Exactly
as lie uttered it he saw down the tun-
mel, and in the p~ilot-house ITSELF a
tiny spark of fire, and heard the click
of steel against flint.
What the spark illuminated were
the fingers of a gigantic, hairy hand.
"Jeanne!" he called again, and now
his voice came clear enough. Wait a
minute and I'll make a light for you.
