tice, | have evolved the following
scheme: Purchase cotton tape about
half an inch wide, using black for
dark skirts and white for light colors.
Cut enough pieces of tape about
three and one-half inches long to
place one on each seam about three
inches below belt, sewing top and
bottom of each strap. If plated
skirt the tape straps may be sewed
four or five inches apart on under
side of plaits. Then take on end of
long tape, sew it three inches from
belt in center, back under the
placket, then slip the long tape
through the little straps around to
the front and carry it up to the
top Of the belt, leaving it loose
enough to prevent drawing. Sew it
to center front of belt, then carry it
down again and through the straps
on other side around the back and
fasten the end three inches below the
belt. At this point sew hook and
eye on placket to prevent gaping.
Your skirt is now ready for any
kind of storm. All that is necessary
is to reach inside of belt with fore
finger and thumb, draw tape up
around the waist and tie it. This
makes the skirt three inches shorter
than ordinary length and does not
show beneath the coat. The length
of the skirt may be governed by the
number of inches the straps are
placed below the belt.
Corset Cover Hint.
When making a corset cover for
thin waist or dress sew buttons on
wrong side and they will not show
through your waist.
Braiding Help.
AS there is SO much braiding now

would help to make the work more
simple. In sewing On coronation

meath Or right side and sew through

working without fatigue and without
Notwithstanding 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 o%ccasioned him NO
return-not even momentary-of the
old terror. He cursed a little because
he had not his rifle with him; the sky,
man soaring slowly and not very high,
presented a 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
a moment in approXimating the true eX-
PLANTATION. There might we'll be, he
supposed, up somewhere in the face
of the cliff a cave, or shelter, of which
he knew nothing, and easily acces-
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 a few minutes cleaning his
rifle, 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
ley's winged figure against it.
Roscoe squatted down in the lee of
the great hummock of ice, surveyed
the heavens with keen, practised eyes,
munching OF a strip of dried walrus-
meat which he had brought with him
and waited very contentedly.
Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1911-08-17

He had not long to wait. Long be-
fore the loon twilight had gone out
of the sky he saw in 1t 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 it
where it was as accessible to a man
who could climb a bit as to one with
wings.
He did not move from his attitude
of strained attention, on the summit
OF a little ice hill, until he saw a faint
glow of golden light diffusing 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
ing his way inshore, over the ice, to-
ward the foot of the cliff.
Cayley's tunnel was not at right
angles to the crest, but bore off dag
onally westward. Roscoe had noted
this fact, and he figured it out from
the top of the promontory, which
formed the western boundary of their
strip Of beach, he should be able to
command a 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 it 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

b was safe, he told himself. She
vas armed with a heavy revolver, was
e good shot and had plenty of nerve,
She was in a 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 alb,
sence were taken to mean that he had
gone to make an attack on the pilot
house, there could hardly be a 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 a superstition of al
most irresistible intensity, it 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 a little. 1t was the winking
glow of an aurora borealis, off to the
north.
Cayley gazed at the spectacle unwill-
ingly, but still he gazed. And, some
how, though he fought the feeling des-
perately, it began to assume a per,
sonal significance to him-a signif-
canoe of mockery. The whole sky was
quivering with vast, silent laughter.
Was it because he, with his fancied
c~leverness 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?
No intelligence, no sane power of
consecutive reasoning can resist this
sort of thing definitely, and at last
Cayley's power of resistance came to
an end.
He sprang to his feet, at, last, drip
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 a 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 vas no light shining out OF
the tunnel entrance. But that was
as he had expected it to be. He made
1t out easily enough; and in another
moment had alighted there.
"Jeanne!" he called.
II was not the exertion of fight, but
a sudden intolerable apprehension that
made him GREATNESS. The word had
halted a little in his throat. Exact
ly as he uttered it he saw down the
tunnel, and in the pilot house itself,
a tiny spark of fire, and heard the
click of steel against flint.
What the spark Illuminated were
the fingers of a gigantic, hairy hand.

his voice came clear enough. wait a

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
Roscoe's mind in the deduction that
the two latest ~castaways upon this
land-hat 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
him to die. But when the storm
abated and milder weather came, he
bestirred himself, as Cayley did, and
set about digging a tunnel of his own
through the great drift which had
blocked the entrance to his cave.
The next time the moon came I'D.
after he had completed the tunnel
from the cave, he set out down the
beach toward the ruins of the hut.
1t was not mere curiosity which
attracted him, o any lurking fear,
but simply the hope of making some
salvage from the w~reckage 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.
Foc the present, however, the stores
occupied his whole attention.
Very methodically he set to work.
carrying them OF to his own cave.
Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1911-08-17

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
hrst glance into the cave would re-
veal, his enemy was not there.
Cayley s%huddered, not with fear,
and yet with a sensation stronger
than disgust. 1t was as if a leopard
had been standing over the deserted
lair of a hyena. A wild beasts lair
1t was and not a human habitation.
! The floor was Uttered with feathers
and half-gnawed bones. The rocky
walls dripped with oil SCOT of his nor
rible cooking. The foul air of the
place was actually iridescent. But
the real horror of it lay in the fact
that Roscoe Vas 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 Cayley's 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
thatit caused h!m-or he thought that
was the reason-a sense of recogni-
ton, almost of familiarity.
The thing which so evidently did
IN DOAoh6 w ASooSoS IudL II seemed
almost to belong to Philip himself,
was a gold locket. 1t lay on a 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, a sailmaker's
needle and some rawlings of canvas,
together with some scraps of food-all
spoke so loud of Roscoe and made such
q contrast with this bit of jewefry that
Cayley's action In stoomng to pick It
up was automatic.
He held it In his hand a moment as
IL he did notAknow quite what to do
with 1t, then put It in his pocket and
went out Of the cave. Only during
the moment when it 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 az superstitious, namely, the
impulse to fly back to Jeanne as fast
as wing could carry him.
He had every reason to believe that
