might. I've been realizing that And

them for Just one moment; then she
straightened up briskly. Anyway, I'll
not make a scene about 1t now" she
said. I'll show little practical
sense and help you with the break

on such occasions the men always do

Then as she still hesitated, he went
on: The most beautiful garment I

cote Indian girl. It was made Of moth
ing but the breasts Of these elders.
But the process isn't pretty I'd much
rather you went back to your book"
Seeing that he meant II, she did
rs he asked. A single half page Of
what was written upon those closely
ruled pages was enough to absorb her
again completely. The power 1t had
over her seemed to grow rather than
to lessen. When Cayley came up with
the big bird which was to serve for
their breakfast, impaled upon a sharp
stick ready to be roasted over the
IRE, she no more than looked UP at
him, with a smile very friendly, but
half-apologetic. and then went on with
her reading. He crouched down near
by her. built a little framework of
sticks above the fire and began his
cooking
1t was. perhaps. ten minutes after
that when he saw the book drop sud-
denly from her hands. When he
glanced up at her. she was looking
seaward-out over those miles of
plunging, heaving ice. And, under his
eyes, her face turned white as marble.
Her bloodless lips were parted. They

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 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.
except 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 a
broad open road before her. But n
prospect like the one that lay before
them brings its own anaesthetic with
It. 1t was 80 utterly hopeless that It
became unreal. The face Of the future,
into which she had cast Just one hor-
! rifled glance, was SO hideous that to
the girl. at least. It was like some
monster mask Of carnival-too gro
tesquely horrible to be taken seri-
ously.

She nodded. and turned to leave the

he called after her.
At that she halted abruptly in the
doorway. why should have. It any
more than you?" Then, answering his
smile with one OF her own, she added:
II suppose a well-trained crew doesn't
demand reasons for the captains or

There's a perfectly good reason.

and have my sheath knife. II were

could. You'd better take belt and

When Philip finally had his firs-
place rebuilt. in temporary fashion
which he thought would serve till
greater leisure should allow him to
perfect 1t, he stepped outside the hut
and looked. first down and then up
the shore in search for her. and was
disappointed at finding her nowhere

He nodded. mot only a 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 on moment
later, II 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. II they kept them here in these
huts. and then hid them when they
caught sight Of the yacht, while they
may be well 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.

stores we need for the winter"

Us to do IL to go out and find it."
Not quite the next thing. Unless
we have exceptional luck, we can
hardly hope to nnd 1t for several
days; 1t may take fortnight, and we
must have some temporary security

telling what sort Of weather we will

FOR HEALTH and HYGIENE
Recipe for Softening and Whitening
the Hands-Cure and Prevention
OF Headache.

A recipe used by a Frenchwoman
for .softening and whitening her hands
is made by boiling two or three foury
potatoes in their skin, peeling them,
MASKING them and making them into a
paste with equal parts of rosewater
and milk. Apply this preparation at
bedtime while the hands are moist
after they have been washed.
Many women suffer from headache
after day of busy shopping. To
battle the forehead with a sponge
wrung out of water as hot as can be
borne will in many cases bring relief
Repeat this as often as the sponge
cools. When the head feels tired it is
refreshing to dash some cold water on
the forehead. then to wipe it of and
lie down for a time. Closing the eyes
for few moments at odd times dur
ing the day has a wonderfully bene-
fetal effect and will ward of many .

Harold is the youngsters name, and
next door lives another boy by the
name Of Dewey. They are each seven
years old, and like most children Of
their age are disposed to get into mis-

while on his knees added a prayer for
Dewey as well.
The next night Harold's mother was
in the next room when he said his
prayers, and she heard him ask God to
forgive Dewey for stealing q piece Of
cake. On the following evening he
again was moved TO- ask forgiveness

three pieces Of candy. Apparently his
patience was exhausted, for the next
evening his mother was in the adjoin-

prayer. and this Is what she heard:

It was just as night was beginning
to give away to day and objects were
none too distinct. An East Indian
sailor was spied splicing a rope and
before he could stir the lion was on
top of him tearing him to pieces. Death
must have been instantaneous from
shock. While the lion stood gazing
into the face of the dead a group of
seamen saw him and fled. The first
second and third officers ran to their
rooms and procuring revolvers sought
out the beast, sensibly getting a. deck

Three shots were fired which did little
damage and made the lion growl all
the more. Three more were tried, but
the officers were so nervous that the
shots went wild. Then the officers
went up the rigging and reloaded.
The second officer was the first to
renew the fusillade. This one hit the
beast in the belly, throwing him on

Prisons as Deathtraps,

That Is per cent of the convicts in
the United States are victims of tu-

in bulletin issued by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. There are 10000
tuberculous prisoners in state, federal
and local prisons Of the United States,
with less than IS special institutions
and hardly 800 beds for their treat
ment. Some of the prisons of Penn

shocking conditions with reference to
tuberculosis that many wardens admit
that these places Of detention are

with two others, was leading a party

The men, as is usual, were tied to-

edge of frightful chasm. The guide
was at the end of the rope.
Without his weight there was .
