working without fatigue and without
ntermission-working 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 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 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 su-
pernatural means to account for the
fact. Indeed, he was hardly more than
moment in approximating the true ex-
plaRation. There might well 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 flying machine.
Skirting the cliff and keeping well
in it's shadow, he made his way with
his last load, back to his cave. Here
he spent a 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 good hope of making out Cay
ley's winged figure against it.
Roscoe squarted down in the lee of
the great hummock Of ice, surveyed
the heavens with keen, practlsed eyes,
munching on a strip Of dried walrus.

and waited very contentedly.

He had not long to wait Long be-
fore the moon twilight had gone out
of the sky he saw In It silhouetted
against it, the sigkt from which
he had once fed with such maA
terror-the broad eHpanse of the sky
mans wings.
Instead Of firing, he scrambled up to
the top of the nearest ice hummoek
and from there watched Cayley' fight
to his landing place.
He laughed aloud when he saw that
it was not in the side Of the cliff, as he
had feared, but quite at the crest Of 1t
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 little ice hill, until he saw faint
glow of golden light diffusing itself
from the mouth of the tunnel that led
to the pilot house. Then, with that
queer shufHing 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 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 q
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

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
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
Rescoe's mind In the deduction that
the two latest castaways upon this
land-that is, Philip and Jeanne
must have perished In the great storm
which began on the night when he
fred the hut, and continued for SO
many weeks that NE, 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-
isttng. 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
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 up,
after he had completed the tunnel
from the cave, he set out down the
beach toward the ruins of the hut.
II 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 fRd 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 suoh shelter as the ice
chamber afforded, for 1t showed nc
mark of human habitation at all. They
had probably wandered outside and
died in one Of the nearby drifts. Per
kaps he would find than some day
For the present. however. the stores
occupied his whole attention.

she was safe, he told himself. She
was armed with heavy revolver. was
a good shot and had plenty Of nerve.
She was in place, the only avenue
Of access to which would give her
tremendous advantage over any in
vader. So that even supposing the
worst-supposinF 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 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, 1t 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
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 shy-witches laughing over
what was happening up at the pilot
house while he sat here and waited
No intelligence, no sane power OF

There was no light shining out o.

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 frustrate 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 sensation stronger
than disgust. 1t was as if leopard
had been standing over the deserted
lar of hyena. A wild beasts lair
it was and not human habitatioR.
The floor was Uttered with feathers
and half-gnawed bones. The rocky
walls drieped 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 1t 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. man always comes unwarily
into the place he calls home. II 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 mooRrise 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 it's surroundings
that it caused him-or he thought that
was the reason-a sense of recogni.
ton. almost of familiarity.
The thing which SO evidently did
not belong to Roscoe that It seemed
almost to belong to Philip himself,
was gold locket. 1t lay on a fiat bit
Of rock, WHICH seemed to serve Ros-
GOES purpose as table. The objects
which surrounded it--an irregular
piece of raw Walrus hide, an over
turned bottle OF whale oil, with q
smudgy wick In it, a sailmaker'a
needle and some ravelings of canvas,
together with some scraps of foSd-all
spoke so loud of Roscoe and made such
contrast with this bit of jeweiry that
Cayley's action in stosping to pick II
up was automatic.
He held 1t In his hand a moment as
II he did not knew quite what to dc
with 1t, thea put :. In his pocket and
went out Of the cave. Only during
the moment when 1t had lrst caught
his eye had 1t really commanded hie
attention at all. BY tho time no got

air outside of the cave wero all he

This company has not only done what it promised, but has shown
nearly as much interest in the Roundup as Pendleton itself. 1t has
surpassed even our fondest hopes in the matter of rendering assistance
to the publicity as well as other departments and Pendleton surely
owes a great debt of gratitude to its staff of popular officials.
To the press, especially of Pendleton and Umatlla county the pub
licity department owes much. The newspapers have boosted such as
they never boosted before, and have been the greatest factor of all in
spreading the news of Pendletons great show to every nook and cor
ner of the Northwest.
In advertising the Roundup we have endeavored to never misrep-
resent. The show is so good it has been unnecessary to make false
claims. We have told the people Just what they would witness, and III
every instance we have shown more than our advertising represented.
We have tried to make good so that our visitors would all tell their
friends and come again-if we have succeeded or not is for the spec
tators to say.
The publicity committee composed of Merle Chessman, G. w.
Meighan, Ed. F. Averll, v. c. f. Pruitt and Miss Wilma Burmister,
has been a we'll organized and steady working machine, grinding out

be seen at the next exhibition, when we'll all get together for a grand

Uniniured.

Mr.. Hillenmeyer, the noted Fayette
county nurseryman has given out the
following concerning the fruit outlook il
Kentucky: Fruit in Central Kentucky
is yet uninjured, thanks to the recent
heavy sleet. The fruit buds were de-
veloped fast as result of the days OF
rising temperature, but the cold wave
came in time 10 check natures advance
AID the sleet that followed protected the
buds Central Kentucky is about due
for good fruit crop, and the old adage
Of heavy sleet, meaning full fruit, is
likely TO be realized. The sleet told
heavily on peach trees and many a young
tree was almost barren of twigs when
the weight of the ice lifted. Cherries,
plums, pears, peaches and apples prom
lse abundant yields, while the straw
berry crop which last year was ruined by
a light freeze in May. will probably, this
year, make a record breaking yield.
When the generally accepted theory of
setting small fruits in the spring of the
year and fruit and foliage trees in the
fall, is considered the surest way, yet
good results are obtainable in the spring
of the year in setting out fruit trees, as
in the fall The pruning season is now
on IN full blast, in fact, il is neaing its
close, and yet we venture the assertion
that many farmers and orchardists have
neglected this important work. Prun-
ing a tree or raspberry bush is as neces-
Sary as suckering tobacco or thinning a
hall of corn.
