above the crest. He hardly expected
a glimpse Of Roscoe so soon. having
no reason to think he would be here,
but he began scanning the earth's sur
face closely with the idea of accustom-
ing his eyes to the light and the dis
tance. Yet it was not his eyes, but
his sensitive nostrils which gave him
his first hint of the probable where
about of the man he was looking for.
The frozen air which he had been
drawing deep into his lungs was odor-
less. save for the family acrid sugges-
tion of ozone about it-a thing. by the
way, which he was puzzled to account
for, unless it presaged some titanic
electrical display in the sky.
But the odor which now invaded hia
fastidious nostrils automatically
checked his fight. He tilted back his
planes and his momentum sent him
towering almost vertically aloft. He
did not analyze it-not that first In
stant, but his sensation was the same
one that makes dog suddenly throw
up its head and snarl, bristling.
1t moment he knew that 1t was
smoke, the smoke Of no clean, spar
king wood fire, but of smouldering
bones and the flesh of some animal.
Slowly he began to descend in the
sweeping circles of great spiral, conN
stantly searching with an eagernessJ
which amounted almost to an agony.

his enemy was there. The man who

sleeping beside it.
He was within 30 feet of the level

red that he was looking for.
He threw his head back sharply and
gazed at it. He could not see the fire
itself-that must be hidden behind the
great rock which almost blocked the
entrance to what must be the cave.
The CLEAN he aad caught in hia
mirror had been reflected in turn
from the cleaning surface OF mass
of ice little farther out.
He slanted away again, searching
now for level place to alight, found
1t within 100 yards of the cave-mouth.

make sure that he could not be sur

his wings, and moment later came
down soundlessly, except with faint
siither of his planes. upon the ice.
He bounded almost instantly to his
feet, slipped his knife out Of his belt
and held the heft of 1t between his
teeth while he furled his planes. That
done. he deposited the bundle In the
angle of projecting rock. and stealth

instant; then. with every nerve tuned
to the highest pitch-with every mus

TIE MESSAGE TO GARCIA.

me MESSAGE TO GARCIA.
Some years ago Ebert Hubbard, Q
writer of things good. bad and indif-
ferent. in a moment Of inspiration
struck Of a popular lay sermon.
1t was a stinSing rebuke to the shift
less. the lazy. the towards Of life.
Briefly told. high officer in Wash
ingtOn put into the hands Of Captain
Andrew Rowan Of the United States
army q private message to General
Garcia of the insurgent army some
where In Cuba.
Rowan did not ask. where is Gar
cia:"
Nobody knew where he was. It was
ROwan's business to find him. He
took the paper without q word, saluted
and departed.
There was a lapse Of time. and It
seemed Rowan might be lost or killed.
One night little boat rounded
remote corner in Cuba. and Rowan
landed. And then through brush and
thicket. through swamp and jungle.
P<'IIiS SCCiI anu tuC
trepid messenger found his way and
laid the paper. crumpled now, into the
hands Of Garcia.
The teaching was plain.
Anybody can carry a message to Gar
cia II he knows where Garcia Is or II
some one will show him the way.
But he who finds the way must trav-
Ell in his own footsteps.
The greatest need Of the world IS
men and women who will assume the
responsibility. who will take the initia-
tive. find the way for themselves.
Would you carry the message to Gar
ella?
Somebody will give you the hint that
he Is somewhere yonder in the island.
You must do the rest.
In other words. when some one in
authority over you tells you to do q
thing. yours not to question why, yours
not to make reply, yours to salute and
find for yourself how and when and
why.
Moreover, there's a supplement to
the Rowan story that Hubbard did not
get-a pretty tale
After this exploit Rowan cOurted a
fair lady in San Francisco. and. 1t Is
related. the Cuban journey was slight
compared with this message carrying.
And the sequel: This message also
was safely delivered and regularly re-
ccipted for.
Pondering this supplemental proceed
ing Of Rowan. let us say that In the
bright lexicon Of endeavOr:
