Across the table from where she sat
at breakfast In the snug, warm, lux
urious little dining room on the yacht,
old Mr.. Fanshaw methodically laid his
coffee spoon in the saucer beside his
cup. and looked up at her with his
slow, deliberate smile.

Tom is in the party. Unless they find
everything that. by the utmost stretch
of hope. they could find. he would in

predicted confidently. MY sky-man

Her voice faltered there. and she
bent down abruptly and kissed the
hand that was still caressing her own.

Fanshaw looked quickly from the
negro's face to the girls as II he sus-
pected a hoax, but the terror in one
face and the justification in the other
were obviously genuine.
Then he rose and went over to the
buffet, returning to the table with the
oddly-shaped, rudely-whittled stick.

frown-"do you mean to say that he.
the man you dreamed about. made
you present of this stick?"
She laughed. IF that seems rea-
sonable way of putting 1t, yes; at
least 1t slipped out of his belt and
found it where he had been sitting.
But can you imagine what he used it
for?''
"Oh. I know what 1t is, but that
only makes the puzzle all the deeper.
It's an Eskimo throwing-stick. They
use 1t to shoot darts with. 1t lies
in the palm of the hand. SO. and the
dart is put in that groove, though the
butt of this one seems curiously mis-
shapen; / can't make it fit my hand.
But / can't figure out how the thing
got aboard the yacht; it wasn't here
yesterday"
"Of course not" she said; my sky
man brought it."
He ran his fingers through his
bushy gray hair perplexedly. Then he
laid the thing down and seated HIM
self at the table. ''At any rate" he
said, I'VE needn't let even a mystery
spoil our breakfast. Come, my dear.

omelet deserves better treatment"
Obediently she took up her fork.
but almost Immediately laid 1t down
again. and he saw her eyes brighten
with tears. "Of course. if there'd been
any news, If there'd been anything to
find. we'd have heard"
Silently heyeached across the table
and patted the hand that lay there on
the white cloth.
oh, l know l oughtn't to cry" she
said, land l won't; it's your goodness
and kindness to me as much as any
thing else. Ever since he went away
you've been like a father to me. and

well out of hearing, we take the
yacht. We may not find a living soul
aboard her; and we certainly can't
leave one there. But we'll steam up
and take our gold aboard-all our
gold. And then. well-there's where
you'll come in"
But what then, man? My God!
what then? Do you suppose we can
go steaming into San Francisco. or
any other port in the world, with all
that gold in our hull and another cap
tain's log and papers? We might Just
as well hang ourselves from our own
crow-jack yard"
Il hope your wits will improve when
you get deck under your feet" Ros-
coe growled. "On land here you're
about as much good as a pelican in
a foot race. No. your sailing orders
won't be San Francisco, nor any 9TH
err port that has such a thing as a
revenue officer about. But you ought
to know the north coast line over
there as far east as Mckenzie bay.
You must know some harbor there
where we can lie up for the winter
and not be bothered"
YES" said Planck, II could take
the yacht to such a place as that.
There's a very good harbor In behind
Hirshel island. But what will we do
when we get there?"
After that it's my affair."" said

The moment Mr.. Fanshaw and
Jeanne emerged upon the deck they
heard the sound of oars beneath them.
and looking over the rail saw one of
the boats in which the shore party
had set out. pulling up alongside the
accommodation ladder. Three men
were in 1t. two of the crew and Tom
Fanshaw.
What news, Tom?" his father
called out anxiously enough to belle
Lis former tranquil manner. Have
you found anything? / hope there's
nothing wrong"
The younger man looked up. He
saw his father, but not the girl.
Nothing wrong" he growled, except
this Internal ankle of mine. I've
sprained 1t again. and I did it Just
when" He broke the sentence of
short there. his eye falling at that
moment upon Jeanne.
She paled little. for she had been
quick to perceive that something he
had been about to tell would not be
told now, or must be told differently.
But she waited until his father, to-
gether with the two sailors, had got
the disabled man up onto the deck
and safely installed in an easy chair.
Then gravely. but steadily. Just as
what, Tom? What clue had they found
Just as you had to come away?"
1T was very wonderful" he said;
quite inexplicable. Just as we were
about breaking camp this morning we
saw a man coming toward us across
the ice. We thought at first that 1t
was Hunter, and we were nightly
glad to see him. because he had stray
ed off somewhere and hadn't camped
with us. But we soon saw 1t wasn't
he. wasn't a man anything like him.
He was a queer. slouching. shutting
creature, dressed in skins. and he
came up In a hesitating way. as If he

thought it startled him a little. and
he pricked up his ears at it. but he
couldn't understand that either. He
just kept beckoning and repeating two
words"
What words, Tom? Out with IT."

SUPERINTENDENT OF

 Dr. BeaUehamp is at present health officer of the city of Phoenix, and his acceptance of the appointment will mean the creating of a vacancy in the office he now holds. Dr. Beauehamp has lived in Phoenix for five or six years, during which time he has gained the respect and esteem of the people generally, barring per- haps a small element which he comes in contact with in the discharge of his official duties, in which he has sought with energy to prove diligent.

BUSINESS LOOKS
 PROMISING IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-SeldOm has a new year been approached more hopefully than 1911. Business interests discern many signs that in dieate to them that the long period of depression is almost at an end. Nothing like a sudden boom in busi- ness is expected but it is generally believed that there will be a steady improvement in conditions for sev- eral months to come.
 The holiday season has brought to the big department stores the great est volume of trade in their history. The business of supplying entertain ment through hotels and theaters. which is becoming continually more important in New York, is in an ex- eeptionally flourishing condition. Re ports of the railroads and other trans portation companies show improve ment during the past few weeks. Many of the larger banks have de elared extra dividends showing that they have had a year of unusual prosperity. Only Wall street remains blue as the volume of business con tinues small, but its spirit is indi- eated by the sign carried in the brokers pre-Christmas parade, in which was printed the figures show ing the amount of business in 1901, as eontrasted with 1910, and con eluding.

AMPLE FINANCES ASSURED FOR
 BASEBALL
From Tuesdays Daily

From the willing and generous manner in which the business men of this city, Saturday and yesterday, responded to the cause of good and clean baseball, the Prescott Club of the Northern Arizona League is as sured splendid financial support for the season. Captain Alvord, president of the association, and John Lindell, treasurer of the local club, made a canvass of the city, and are elated at the interest in the movement, and flattered at the results.
 Captain Alvord left Sunday morn ing for Flagstaff, and from that city proceeds to Los Angeles to close ne gotiations for rates of transportation for the season with J. J. Byrne, as- sistant traffic manager of the Santa Fe.
 Captain Alvord is enthusiastic over the formation of the Big Four League and aside from the baseball features, believes that it will prove one of the best propositions that has ever been advanced to link the four prin- eipal cities of the north into a com munity of interests and good fellow ship that has ever been inaugurated. The railroad rate will be so low that residents of all communities in the league will have an opportunity to visit the cities where games are to be played as a minimum cost, and there is but little doubt that the at traetive city of Prescott will receive more consideration from the north than would ordinarily prevail were the national game not an incentive.
 So far as the northern towns are to be considered, Captain Alvord says that the incorporation of Prescott in to the league was followed by an ovation, and last night he was over whelmed with eOngratulatOry tele- grams that the financial assistance necessary to get the ball rolling was assured the team of this city.
 He will return from the Coast in q few weeks, and will visit this city to prepare to start the games on the dates outlined. He says that Prescott has the finest grounds in the country and there should be some fast games played on this diamond.
