cantaln Eleldlnn,s GOSPEL.

Side by side, upon that great sheep
skin, they sat, those two people, in
the very lap Of death. A reasonable
estimate Of their chances would give
them, perhaps, a week to live. With
exceptional fortune, that week might
stretch itself into a month. The great
blue spirit Of the arctic would darken
to purple, and to black, The Icy hand
Of the savage polar winter would get
its clutches upon them. They had
nothing to resist 1t with. No stores Of
ammunition or of food. No clothing
kept what they wore. No fuel, save
what they could contrive to gather
along the talus before the winter gales
would make further search impossible
Neither Jeanne nor Cayley was Of a
sort to face the prospect of that death
with resignation. They were young,
intensely alive, and with Jeanne, at
least, the best and biggest part of life
lay, or had lain until yesterday, in q
broad open road before her. But

He nodded. Not only q supply OF
fuel, but Of food, too. You remember
your father also speaks of having his
larder completely stocked for the win

weren't expecting any relief. They
must have stocked their larder, too
OF course" he went IN a moment
later, 81 realized vagueiy all along
that there must be stores somewhere
here on the land because men were
living here, but on the theory that
they had abandoned the beach and
were living in some undiscovered part
of the mainland, our chance Of finding
those stores was almost nothing at all.
Finding them would be like trying to
find Point Barrow in a fog. But you
see, If they kept them here in these
huts, and then hid them when they
caught sight of the yacht, while they
may be we'll hidden, they can't be far
away. There wouldn't have been time
to move them far; certainly not over
the glacier and into the interior there.
It must all be hidden somewhere, here
on the coast. When we find that hiding
place, we shall probably find all the
stores we need for the winter"
Then, l suppose, the next thing for
us to do is to go out and find it."
Not quite the next thing. Unless
we have exceptional luck, we can
hardly hope to find It for several
days; it may take a fortnight, and we
must have some temporary security
first. In the meantime there Is no
telling what sort Of weather we will

If they were frozen. He could not
see that she was breathing. Her eyes
were turned away from him and he
was glad Of that. For another moment
more, at least, he need not read the
look in them. For now, at last, he
was sure she understood. He himself
fixed his eyes upon the fire and
waited.

GOOD CHANCE

Season FavOrS MaCk'S
Men a Bit
PHILLIES MUST GO
FAST TO WIN cut

General interest in this section in
the races of the National and Ameri-
can Leagues lays in the chances of
the Athletics and the Phillies to cap
ture the pennants of their respective
league. In the American League
the chances favor the Athletics as
they have entirely the best of the
schedule compared with Detroit dur
inf the remainder of the season.
Detroit has forty-six games to
play and only eighteen will take
place on the home soil. Twelve Of
these will be hard contests as the
eastern teams have shown their abil-
ity TO win from the Tigers on their
home grounds. Detroit has won only
eight of the last twenty-four games
played, which is not a good record
for a championship team.
Finishing up with Boston yesterday
the Athletics go first to Chicago,
where four games will be played IN
three days. Then come three each
at st. Louis, Cleveland and Detroit, in
the order named. Three with Boston
winds up the trip.
On the return they will play three
with Washington and four with Bos-
ton, and go to New York for three
game series. Then all the western
teams are played at Shibe Park.

a conclusion before the supporters OF
of the enemy.
Five games behind both Chicago and
Pittsburg, their most dangerous foes
who have the advantage of finishing
at home, the Phillies are up against
severe handicap; but their nerve
and fighting spirit might carry them
through, provided they could have a
phenomenally successful stay at
home.
There are four games with each Of
the western clubs excepting st. Louis
which plays only three.
What happens in these contests will
about determine the hopes of the local
National Leaguers.
string of victories from Chicago
and Pittsburg would throw these re-
doubtable contenders out of their

almost unheard of proceeding, though
