fore the moon twilight had gone out
of the sky he saw in it silhouetted
against it. the sight from which
he had once fled with such mad
terror-the broad expanse of the sky.
mans wings.
Instead Of firing, he scrambled up to
the top Of the nearest ice hummock
and from there watched Cayley' flight
to his landing place.
He laughed aloud when he saw that
1t was not In the side of the cliff, as he
had feared, but quite at the crest of II
where 1t was as accessible to a man
who could climb bit as to one with
wings.
He did not move from his attitude
of strained attention, on the summit
of little ice hill, until he saw faint
glow of golden light diffuslng itself
from the mouth of the tunnel that led
to the pilot house. Then, with that
queer shutting gait of his, which was
neither walk nor run, he began max

Cayleys tunnel was not at right
angles to the crest, but bore off dag
onally westward. Roscoe had noted
this fact, and he figured 1t out from
the top of the promontory, which
formed the western boundary of their
strip Of beach, he should be able to
command view straight into the tun-
mel. Also, there was at this point a
precipitous trail up the cliff. No one
but Roscoe would have called 1t a
trail, but that was the way it existed
in his mind.
His calculation of the angle of the
tunnel proved to be correct, for from
his newly-gained coign of vantage, he
could see straight into the pilot house

working without fatigue and without
misunderstanding so long as the
moonlight lasted.
He was just setting out with his last
load when, glancing skyward to see
how long the light would hold, he
caught a glimpse of Cayley on the
wing. The sight occasioned him no
return-not even momentary-of the
old terror. He cursed little because
he had not his rife with him; the sky
man soaring slowly and not very high,
presented mark he could almost GER
tainly have hit.
1t was surprising, of course, to see
him alive, but Roscoe, in his present
state, never thought Of looking to SUI
pernatural means to account for the
fact. Indeed, he was hardly more than
moment in approximating the true ex-
PLANTATION. There might well be, he
supposed, up somewhere in the face
of the cliff cave, or shelter, of which
he knew nothing, and easily access
sible to anyone who happened to pos
sess a flying machine.
Skirting the cliff and keeping well
in its shadow, he made his way with
his last load, back to his cave. Here
he spent few minutes cleaning his
rife, making sure that the mechanism
of the breech was working perfectly,
and filling its magazine full Of car
tridges.
The moon was just setting, but the
sky was still bright enough to give
him a good hope of making out Cay

CHAPTER XXI.
In the Pilot House.

Cayley had been right in assuming,
as he did in his conversation with
Jeanne, upon the subject, that Roscoe
and the other people of the Walrus
had never noticed the ice chimney, nor
suspected the existence of the pilot
house upon the cliff-head. Also, he
had followed correctly the track Of
Roscoes mind In the deduction that
the two latest castaways upon this
land-that is, Philip and Jeanne
must have persisted In the great storm
which began on the night when he
fired the hut, and continued for so
many weeks that he, like them, lost
all trace of reckoning.
During the storm he had lived in
the cave, much as Philip and Jeanne
had lived in the pilot house on the
cliff; he had, that Is to say, in some
purely automatic fashion, kept on ex-
listing. The mere momentum Of a ma
ture mans vitality makes 1t hard for
him to die But when the storm
abated and milder weather came, he
DeSIlTIeu ulIuoOll, do SdJlCy ulu, anu
set about digging tunnel of his own
through the great drift which had
blocked the entrance to his cave.
The next time the moon came up,
after he had completed the tunnel
from the cave, he set out down the
beach toward the ruins Of the hut.
It was not mere curiosity which
attracted him, nor any lurking fear,
but simply the hope of making some
salvage from the wreckage of the hut,
or possibly, from the bodies of his two
victims, in case he was lucky enough
to find them. He>had no doubt at all
that they were dead.
His pleasure over the quantity and
condition of the stores he found In
the ice cave compensated for his
disappointment over not finding the
bodies of his two latest victims.
Evidently they had not even at
tempted to use such shelter as the ice
chamber afforded, for It showed no
mark of human habitation at all. They
had probably wandered outside and
died in one of the nearby drifts. Per-
haps he would find them some day.
For the present, however. the stores
occupied his whole attention.
Very methodically he set to work.
carrying them on to his own cave.

she was safe, he told himself. She
was armed with heavy revolver, was
good siiot and had plenty of nerve.
She was in place, the only avenue
of access to which would give her a
tremendous advantage over any In
vader. So that, even supposing the
worst-supposing that Roscoe's abb
sence were taken to mean that he had
gone to make an attack on the pilot
house, there could hardly be doubt
that Jeanne would kill him.
His reasoning was all based on the
assumption that the pilot house was
inaccessible to any wingless creature
except by way of the ice chimney.
Even now, when his fear for the girl
was amounting to superstition of al
most irresistible intensity, 1t did not
occur to him to question that.
He steadied himself as best he could
and crouched down in the shelter of
the big rock to await Roscoe's return.
He had hardly settled himself here
when he saw something that made
him shake his head impatiently, and
swear little. 1t was the winking
glow of an aurora borealis, off to the
north.
Cayley gazed at the spectacle unwtll-
ingly, but still he gazed. And, some
how, though he fought the feeling des-
perately, 1t began to assume per-
sonal significance to him-a signifi-
canoe of mockery. The whole sky was
quivering with vast, silent laughter.
Was 1t because he, with his fancied
cleverness and daring in finding Ros-
GOES lair and waiting for his return to
it, was really doing precisely the thing
that Roscoe would have had him do?
Were those sky-witches laughing over
what was happening up at the pilot
house while he sat here and waited

consecutive reasoning can resist this
sort of thing definitely. and at last

an end.
ping with sweat, in spite of the cold,
caught up his bundled wings, unfurled
them and took the air with a rush.
Once he had jerked himself aloft to a
height little above the crest Of the
cliff, 1t was hardly more than a mat
ter Of seconds before he came oppo-
site the dome-like mound of snow
which covered the pilot house.
There was no light shining out Of
the tunnel entrance. But that was
as he had expected 1t to be. He made
it out easily enough; and in another
moment had alighted there.
"Jeanne!" he called.
II was not the exertion of flight, but
a sudden intolerable apprehension that
made him GREATNESS. The word had
halted little in his throat. Exact
ly as he uttered 1t he saw down the
tunnel, and in the pilot house itself,
tiny spark of fire, and heard the
click of steel against flint.
What the spark Illuminated were
the fingers of a gigantic, hairy hand.
"Jeanne!" he called again, and now
his voice came clear enough. Wait
minute and I'll make a light for you"

CHAPTER XxI.-Contlnued.

Probably no apparition of the mon
ster he expected to find there-no
sight of him towering expectant,
armed, anticipating all that Cayley
hoped to do and ready to Illustrate it,
could have been so terrifying to Philip
as the thing he actually saw, which
was-nothing. At least, so far as a
first glance into the cave would re-
veal, his enemy was not there.
Cayley shuddered, not with fear,
and yet with a sensation stronger
than disgust. 1t was as If leopard
had been standing over the deserted
lar of a hyena. A wild beasts lair
1t was and not human habitation.
The floor was Uttered with feathers
and half-gnawed bones. The rocky
walls dripped with oil SCOT of his hor-
rible cooking. The foul air Of the
place was actually iridescent. But
the real horror of 1t lay in the fact
that Roscoe was not there.
Cayley's reasoning faculties attack
ed that blind, irrational horror with
all their force. From the condition Of
the fire it was evident that Roscoe
had been gone several hours. 1t was
almost certain that he would return
soon. Cayley's arrival in his absence
really gave him an immense advant-
age. A man always comes unwarily
into the place he calls home. If Ros-
coe came back now he would have no
chance at all against Cayleys quick
spring and the flash of the long knife
blade.
Certainly 1t was reasonable to ex-
pect that Roscoe would wait for an
other moonrise before setting out on
any serious sort of expedition, and, If
that assumption were correct, he
might be returning to the cave at any
moment.
He strobe abruptly back to the cave
mouth. AS he did So however, his
eye alighted on something that made
him pause-something so strangely
out of keeping with its surroundings
that it caused him-or he thought that
ton, almost of familiarity.
The thing which so evidently did
not belong to Roscoe that 1t seemed
almost to belong to Philip himself,
was a gold locket. 1t lay on fiat bit
of rock, which seemed to serve Ros-
GOES purpose as a table. The objects
which surrounded tan irregular
piece of raw walrus hide, an over
turned bottle Of whale oil, with a
smudgy wick in it, sailmaker's
needle and some rawlings of canvas,
together with some scraps of food-all
spoke so loud of Roscoe and made such
a contrast with this bit of jewelry that
Cayleys action in STOPPING to pick it
up was automatic.
He held it in his hand a moment as
If he did not know quite what to do
with it, then put :: in his pocket and
went out of the cave. Only during
the moment when 1t had first caught
his eye had it really commanded his
attention at all. BY the time he got
outside of the cave he had forgotten
it.
Two or three breaths of the clear
air outside of the cave were all he
needed to revive him, physically. But
to his surprise they did not suffice to
rid him of the feeling which he re-
garded as superstitious, namely, the
impulse to fly back to Jeanne as fast
as wing could carry him.
He had every reason to believe that

from a Socialist point of view, that it
is strictly honest and the best admin
istration Milwaukee ever had. The fol-
lowing article from the Racine Daily
Times ought to satisfy those who have
been filed with falsehoods regarding the
same;
"The Milwaukee Journal Is making an

election of its own for the mayoraltv.
with the idea that this will determine
who is the strongest man to place in
nomination on non-partisan ticket
against the Socialists. The object of
the Journal is apparent. 1t is to de-
feat the Socialists and drive the Seidel
administration out of Office. Whether
this is desirable for Milwaukee or not

Importance, however, as to free Mil
waukee from the control OF the Social
lists But from the standpoint of the
citizen and taxpayer, il would seem
that the important thing is to secure
an efficient and honest administration,
no matter from what party it is OBJ
tanned. The writer has talked with
many citizens of Milwaukee, none of
whom were Socialists, and each OF them
has stated that Milwaukee Is receiving
clean and capable administration. One
of them, prominent in the packing trade,

waukee did one receive courteous, in
telligent and efficient service, when called
to the city hall on business concerning
the city. He said also that honest serv-
ice is rendered and that there is an
entire absence of graft in any form.
Whether one believes in Socialism or
not, he should accord credit where cred
it is due, and the citizens of Milwau-
kee are certainly indebted to the So
cialist administration, headed by Mayor
seidel, for the first strictly honest con-
duct Of city affairs they have had in
many years"

Because it is too brilliant for their

Oh! How they try to falsify the facts
with all their might
Because they're in the service of the
