What was more to the point, the seat

the storm. But his forehead grew

heart leaped with q sudden suffocating

One of the favorite teams last April
was "Scotty'' Aliens, the same which
made such grand squirt the previous
year. The team was entered on behalf or
Mr.. Berger, vice president of the kennel
club. The plucky little Scotchman's dogs
were a mixed crowd, and for that reason
were much commented upon by the spec
tators. His leader was an Eskimo, high
shouldered and ungraceful, but alert,
muscular and responsive. Behind MN
were eight magnificent creatures, III
which the setter type predominated.
Before the end of the day Nome knew
by telephone that the earlier teams had
PASSED the first settlement and everything
was progressing wet These repeated
telephone messages kept up the excite
ment. One of the rules governing the
race states that the drivers must return
with all the dogs which they started-a
wise provision which makes II Impossible
for a frozen or exhausted dog to be aban-
doned If an animal is incapacitated, it
must be carried on the sled; If 1T dies,
the body must be brought back to Nome.
