For while tney sat, side by side,
upon his great sheepskin. warming
their fingers and watching the drip
OF the melting ice in the biscuit tin.
But presently Cayley got to his feet
Breakfast" he said.
rs there to be anything besides a
good big drink of water apiece? If
there isn't. I'd rather not think about
it until the yacht comes back"
Unless I'm mistaken, there's an
excellent breakfast waiting for US not
far from where we got the flre-wood.
But I'll go and make sure before I
raise your expectations any higher"
He walked away half-dozen PAGES
without waiting for any reply; then.
thinking suddenly Of something else.
he came swiftly back again.
DO you know anything about fire.
arms?" he asked. "If you're accus-
toned to shooting. I'll leave my re-
volver with you.-No." he went on.
answering the question which she had
not spoken-"no. 1 don't foresee any
danger to you. It's just on general
principles"
I'm a pretty good shot. But II
you're going on hunting expedition
for our breakfast and there isn't any
foreseeable danger to me in being left
alone. 1t seems reasonable that you
should take the gum.
He took the revolver from his belt,
however. and held it out to her. Our
breakfast doesn't have to be- shot And
as concession to my feelings-no.
it's nothing more than that-Fd rather
you took it,
She did as he asked without further
demur. and he went away. When she
was left alone. the girl added fresh
sticks to the fire, and then, in default
of any more active occupation, took
up the red-bound book which lay be-
side her and began once more to pc
ruse its pages. She had by no means
exhausted them. In her reading Of
the night before, she had skipped the
pages Of scientific description for
those parts Of the journal which were
most purely personal. Even now the
whole pages Of carefully tabulated
data concerning the winds, currents,
temperature, and magnetic variations
got scant attention. In her present
mood the homeliest little adventure,
the idlest diversion of winters day
meant more to her than all her IA
ther's discoveries put together. When
she saw Cayley coming back toward
her across the ice. she put the book
down half reluctantly.
Evidently his quest for breakfast
had not been in vain; he had big
black and white bird in his hand. DO
you suppose it's At to eat? she
called out to him. How in the world
did you manage to kill 1t without the
revolver"
Fit to eat! It's duck. What's
more, it's an elder, which means that
her coat is worth saving"
But how did you contrive to kill
herr"
Il didn't. She killed herself. She
was flying too low last night. l sup
pose-going down the gale. and In the
fog she went smack into the side Of
the cliff and broke her neck. That was
very destructive storm for the birds.
There must be so Of them. of one kind
and another, lying dead there along
the top Of the. talus. at the foot OF the
cliff" A.t.

the level of my eyes; and pass for q
tall man"
His father abandoned the subject
abruptly, and for a while contrived to
talk Of other things; of the details Of
the fight and how different members
Of the crew had borne themselves.
But his mind was filled with a new
terror. and as soon as he could feel
that his son was in condition to be
left alone, he left him, with broken
word of excuse. He must either set
worst at once. There had been no
one. either among the survivors or the
slain OF the Walrus party, who in any
way resembled the monster Tom had
described
An hour later he went back to the
bridge to talk again with Captain
Warner. He thought that they had
sounded the depth OF despair that
former time when they had talked to-
gether there, but in this last hour he
had sounded new abyss beneath 1t
ALL He knew now why the yacht had
been 30 easily taken. He knew all the
details Of the devilish plan which had
80 nearly succeeded. More than that.
he knew the story Of the man Roscoe
from the time when Captain Planck
had taken him aboard the Walrus,
down to the hour last night when he
had sprung into his boat again and
pulled shoreward. Captain Planck
was dying, and old Mr.. Fanshaw's
hod
the luxury Of a full confession.
So they knew now. those two men
who stood there on the bridge. white
Tipped, talking over the horror Of the
thing-they knew that Jeanne was not
alone upon that terrible frozen shore.
The man Roscoe was there. too.
A sound on the deck below attracted
Mr.. Fanshaw's attention. Tom, with
the aid Of heavy cane, was limping
precariously along the deck toward
the bridge ladder. and. to their amaze
ment. when he looked up at them,
they saw that somehow, his face had
cleared. There was a grave look of
peace upon 1t.
I've thought of something" he
said. after he had climbed up beside
them-'rve thought of something that
makes it seem possible to go on liv.
ing. and even hoping"
The two older men exchanged a
swift glance. He was not to know
about Roscoe. II he had found some
thing to hope for, no matter how H.
lusory, he should be allowed to Keep
ito hug 1t to his breast, In place of
the horrible, torturing vision OF the
human monster which the other two
men saw.
What is 1t you've thought of,
Tom?" his father asked unsteadily.
"It's-it's Cayley. He's there with
her: I'm sure he is" He turned
away little from Captain Warner
and spoke directly to his father. 81

I saw them there together. He has
fallen in love with her. think. I'm
quite sure she has with him. 1 wanted
to kill him for that yesterday, but

the look in his eyes did not change
the light of a serene, untroubled
hope.-"He's there with her." he went
on, "and with Gods help he'll keep
her alive until we can get back with
the relief"
He said no more. and he clutched
the rail tight in his gauntleted hands
and gazed out north, across the ice.

RECORD BREAKING FIGURES.
Natural Gas Production for 1909 Sur.
passes All Former Records.

The chapter on naturalgas from Min
eral Resources of the United States for
1907 can now be had of the United
States geological survey by application
TO the director at Washington. The in
dustry surpassed in 1909, both in the
quantity and value Of the gas produced
the record of any previous year, the esti-
mated value being sos, 206,e4l, as against
$54, $40 ,374 in 1908. Although the re.
turns are unusually late, is is believed
that as result of cooperation with
the census bureau they are more COM
plete than those of any previous year.
The report discusses the production in
considerable detail and gives the output
by state covering long period OF years.
IN 1909 Pennsylvania led with an out
put valued at S20,415,2O7, West Vir-
ginia came next with sl7,5Ss,5d5, Ohio

IN BOSTON MARKETS
Butter Supply Large, Demand Small
Eggs Lower,

The demand for butter continues slow
in the local market and with large quan.
titles coming forward and plling up,
there is more pressure to sell and prices
are shade easier. Some dealers are
still asking 24c for fancy northern
creamery IN tubs, but 23I.e is about
as much as it is bringing and there are
sales as low as 23c. The cheese mar
ket holds without change of Importance;
demand is not large, but supplies are
well reduced, and as there has been no

steady, The egg market is easier in
