Timber resources of West Virginia, its
other resources have received COM

manufacturer and investor.
West Virginia, however, contains
other resources Of great value and in
great abundance that merit the
closest investigation and broad profit

natural gas insures cheap fuel for
many industries.
In West Virginia there arc large

offer fine locations for glassware
plants.
In West Virginia are ideal fruit
growing lands producing especially
apples which are among the finest

CHAPTER XVII.
A State of Sieqe.

Cayley's discovery of the tracks fur
nished the last element of the drama
which was to play itself out that win
ter upon this stage which had been
so strangely set for it. 1t was just
three days since, flying slowly north
ward before a mild southerly breeze,
the ice pack below him, he caught his
first glimpse of the unknown land
where Captain Fielding had met his
tragic fate so many years before. Three
days since he had witnessed, from
aloft, the murder of a man he might
have saved. the man to whom, had
he saved him, he might have turned
for exoneration from stain upon his
name which was now ineradicable.
Three days ago he had thought his
world was empty, swept clean Of hui
man concern and human affection.
Three days ago he had not known that
Jeanne Fielding existed.
AS for the identity Of the monster
who had left the proof Of his existence
in those tracks which Philip had dis
covered in the snow, they Of course
had no certain knowledge; neverthe-
less, they entertained but little doubt
that he was Roscoe himself. The foot
prints were immense, Cayley said, and
their distance apart bespoke the stride
Of giant
If 1t were Roscoe who had been
crouching there behind the boulder,
then 1t seemed to them unlikely that
he was here alone; unlikely that he
had not at least two or three of his
crew with him.
That idea, when it first occurred to
them, brought little added terror with
it. The person of the monstrous muir
derous ruffian, who was the chief,
dwarfed his subordinates to pygmies.
Yet when they came to think over the
situation, reasonably, this uncertainty
as to the number of their enemy
proved vital element in it. 1t put
an unequivocal veto upon Cayley's
first plan, which was to start out at
once and take the aggressive against
their enemy, before he should have
time to move against them.
This bit of beach where the hut
stood was practically fortified The
cliff behind it was absolutely sheer,
and was capped with deep. perpetual
snow. Half a mile to the westward
was the promontory, and about half
mile up the beach from the hut, 10
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.

long dead. She was alive; warm. He
was near enough now to make out the
soft curve of her throat, the retreat
ing and returning color which bathed
cheeks and forehead. He could see
the faint rise and fall of her breast
when she breathed. He laid the throw
ing-stick upon the ice, drew nerves
and muscles taut for his rush.
Then, just then, he saw the thing
that made Jeanne close her eyes, the
flashing sword-cut Of that great gold
en- wing, as the thing 1t bore turned
upon the other.
Roscoe dropped down, as II he had
been blasted by the sight of sword
ed archangel, in the shelter of his
rock. He lay there, prone, hugging
his head in his arms. He did not
rouse himself. did not succeed in fore
ing his treacherous nerves and mus
cles to obey his will until it was quite
dark. Then, without glance behind
madly up the broken face of the talus,
and, reaching the top of 1t, went on
and scaled the cliff itself. 1t was a
feat which even he could hardly have
accomplished except under the ex-
tremity of terror.
For only so long as was necessary
to regain his breath, he lay painting
upon the cliff-head. In the dark, rush
ing along as If the precipitous trail he
followed had been well-worn thor
oughfare, he retraced his way down
the landward side of the mountain
and across the valley. He did not
pause until he found himself safe in
the cave again beside the glacier.

CHAPTER XVIII.
An Attack.

An Attack.
The fact that their enemy was
alone and that he was Roscoe himself
was responsible for the conviction
that Cayley's wings were all that
stood between them and an attack.
No terror attributable to human
causes would have held back that
solitary and altogether desperate out
cast
The thing in the situation which
caused Cayley the most uneasiness
was the fear that some time or other
Roscoe would solve the mystery.
would see him in the very act OF
taking to the air This fear suggested
an expedient to him one day as he
was flying along near the snow-crest-
ed edge of the cliff.
II don't know why I never thought
of 1t before" he said to Jeanne as he
alighted beside her moment or two
afterward; but I've got it now-the
way to prevent Roscoe from every
