We're securely b~arricaded here. and
they can't attempt to break in without
giving US fair warning. Unless there
are too many of them we should beat
them at that game. No; the time to
look out for them is when we're outside
the hut, out on the beach doing the
things we'll have to do-bringing in
firewood, looking for more game and
SO on"
Shall we have to do that? Can't we
just stay in here, safer"
THE daylight will answer that ques-
ton for me- he said. I'VE must make
the most of it. A month from now
there'll be but little. Me mustn't make
prisoners of ourselves until the winter
does it for US. There is one thing.
though" he added thoughtfully after a
little silence, "one thing that I must
do at once, and that Is to destroy these
sheds where they kept their stores.
They would furnish q cover-as good a
as any enemy could ask for. They
hinder our view up the beach"
How long do you suppose 1t will
last?' she asked in a voice that shook
a little. How long can it last7 How
long can we live like that, sven sup
posing that our watch is effective and
that they aren't able to surprise us?"
She clasped her hands, with a shud-
der, and gripped them between her
knees.-~Oh. If 1t would only happen
soon.' she went on. whatever it Isl"
What I don't understand" said Cay
ley, lis why they haven't attacked US
already. Why have they waited until
we are fortified and secure? Why didn't
they attack us yesterday morning when
they would have found us helpless?"
"Or yesterday afternoon she sup
plemented, down the beach around
the promontory. then. when we know
he must have been so near. That's
rather horrible all by itself. just the
fact that he didn't"
What the girl said was perfectly
true. Cayley felt it himself as sharply
as she did. Aside from that one ele-
ment in it, their situation. though ter
rible. was real. was the sort of situa-
ton that a sufficiently determined
courage and a sufficiently alert wari-
ness could cope with.
But their immunity from attack dur
ing all those hours when the enemy
must have been close at nanu, n
when opportunities for attacking had
been so plentiful. had something un-
canny about it, and gave TO this ter
rible adventure Of theirs something of
the quality of horror.
"Of course" said Chyley, there must
be a perfectly valid explanation of it,
and it may be one that we a dis

the nameless dreadful terror that sur
rounded the situation, they began to
reconstruct the story of the member,
or members of the Walrus's party who
had not been aboard the Aurora when
the gale drove her out to sea-

said Cayley. The yacht waa gone when

But this doubt about the number OF
their enemy made Cayley's plan for an
aggressive campaign impracticable.
They had only one weapon between
them, namely, Cayley's revolver; 1t was
clear hat they could not separate
without leaving one of them defense
less. Even though the sky-man, with
the advantage of his wings, might be
able to discover the whereabouts OF
the enemy who had lurked behind the
boulder upon the beach hat day, he
would not dare go in pursuit of him for
fear of what his possible confederates
might do to Jeanne in his absence.
Reluctantly he came to the conclusion
that the only thing for them to do was
to remain strictly upon the defensive.
Jeanne agreed In the conclusion, but
she accepted 1t much less reluctantly
In spite Of all they knew or Roscoe,
the practical certainty that he had
murdered her father, his indubitable
murder of Perry Hunter and the dia-
bolical plot he had all but succeeded
In carving out against the Aurora's
people-in spite of all that, the idea
of deliberately seeking him out and
killing him in cold blood, before he had
made an overt move against them,
was highly repugnant to her.
Cayley had no such feeling. To him
Roscoe was simply a more dangerous
sort of wild beast. To him, at first
glance, the idea of merely waiting for
their enemy to attack them at his leis-
ure was well-nigh in~tolerable, and
seemed hopeless into the bargain. But
when he saw that 1t was the only thing
thew could do, when he began really to
study out the strategic possibilities OF
the position they held. the outlook
frightened considerably.
In the first place, this bit OF beach
where the hut stood was practically
fortified. The cliff behind IT was abso-
lutely sheer, and was capped with deep,
-perpetual snow. Half a mile to the
westward was the promontory and
about half a mile UP the beach from
the hut. to the eastward, the glacier
projected its ice masses in a long foe
out to seaward. This glacier provided
the only practicable means of entrance
to the interior valley and the ledge
where the gold was.
By means of a large scale map Cay
ley pointed out to Jeanne this ad-
vantage Of their position. $50 long as
we stick to this bit of beach," he said,
1--WE can't be rushed nor surprised. No
n can attack us without either COM
ing down the glacier at n end or
around the promontory at the other.
From either direction they've got to APP
proach without cover. OF course, II
there are a lot of them we shan't have
any chance. But 1t may be there's only
one. and it's likely that there are not
than three"
"But at night" said the girl.-"at
night there'll be nothing to prevent
their coming as, close as they please.
They may be out there now, not a dozen
yards away
They're not doinx much II they are.

FOR AN NvALID's COMFORT.

A clever contrivance for keeping the
weight of the bed clothing from an
invalid is formed by two pieces of wire
slightly arched, the ends turned under
for slipping under the mattress. The
wires should be placed several inches
apart and may be covered With ribbon.
The two are connected by narrow rib
bon passed over and under the wires or
by arranging it in trellis fashion. The
arch is adjusted to the bed after the
invalid is comfortably settled and the
bed clothing brought up over. The
warmth is then provided for. but
practically without weight.

Got His Goat"

Sitting nj a table in a Broadway
cafe, a well known turfman a few
nights ago told how the phrase got
your goat" originated. He said it
was borrowed from the race track
stable. He said that it had been the
custom Of many trainers to place a
goat with thoroughbred in train
ing for a race. The diversion that
the goat furnished the horse was
supposed to play great part in
balancing the animals tempera-
ment. When the time for the race
was near at hand great care was eX-
ercised to prevent the horses friend
from being stolen by hangers-on
who figured thus to unnerye the
racer. The loss of the goat has been
known to worry a thoroughbred
enough to make him lose race,
and so it came to be said that when
a horse failed to perform up to ex-
pectations somebody had got his
goat.-New York Sun.

The Gesture Language.

Gesture, or sign, language was
beyond doubt the earliest form of
the communication of ideas. Long
before there were such things as
words men talked to each other by
means of well understood signs.
There are still tribes of men in
Australia and the islands of the
southern seas, as well as in dark
est Africa, who when they wish to
exchange ideas at night are obliged
to build a fire so as to see by its
light the gestures that are their
only means of mental intercom-
munication. To this day the sign
language is found useful even
among highly advanced peoples.
When you cannot make man I'M
derstand your words you can often
times get along with him fairly
well by making motions. New
