once more. the tunnel through the
drift which the great storm had
choked.
When he had broken through the
outer crust Of the drift, and the white
radiance of the midday moon shone
into the black tunnel where he had
been working. he stood for a moment
drawing deep breaths and gazing over
the scene which lay beneath his eyes.
he fastened back into the little pilot
house.
Jeanne was doing upon q heap Of
oear-skins. He reused her with some
difficulty; really waking up had been
a hard matter lately. almost as hard
as really getting OF to sleep. She
was still drowsy when he led her
along the tunnel to the cliff head.
Breathe Deep" he told her. we
were half poisoned in there. This air
Will bring you back to life again, 1t
and the moonlight"
He had been supporting her with
his arm about her waist, but now, as
she held herself a little straighter and
he could feel her lungs expanding
with h pure air she breathed, he
withdrew the arm and let her stand
alone. Even the white moonlight re-

low shape OF the peaf vas inuisuln-
suIshable against the icy beach. That
didn't matter, for he could follow
along well enough by the bloody
tracks the wounded beast had left.
The last of the twilight was still In
the sky, and half his glances we're
directed thither, looking for some
thing which he told himself could not
possibly exist, except in his own
fancy. yet fully expected to see never
thsless, the shadow of Cayley's great
wings. And at last he saw 1t i'm
pending in the lower air, like a brood
Ing spirit, just above the tiny square
Of light which marked the location Of
the hut.
Roscoe abandoned his pursuit of the
bear; all thought of 1t, in fact. was
rome from his mind: but he did not,
a. on a former occasion, drop down
prone upon the ground. his face buried
In his arms: nor did he turn and fee
like n hag-ridden up the beach. He
faltered. 1t is true, and his knees
trembled beneath him, and yet. slow
ly and with many pauses he made his
way forward.
He was horribly afraid all the time.
but curiosity was all the while over
towering fear. He was not more han
700 yards away when Cayley alighted
beside the girl.
At what he saw then, Roscoe
dropped his rife on the beach. with a
whispered oath, and rubbed his eyes.
The light which diffused itself from
the open window of the hut was not
much. but It was enough to reveal the
fact that this great man-bird, this
golden-winged spirit which had kept
him in terror for his own sanity all
these months, was taking of his wings
and folding them up into a bundle, in
as matter-of-fact a way as If he were
furling an umbrella. He stood there
now, Just an ordinary human figure
Of q man; the very man. in fact, that
he had seen before and would have
killed long ago had 1t not been for his
over-mastering terror Of the thing
with wings.
He presented . fair mark now, and
= in easy range, but Roscoe was too
thoroughly astonished to seize the OPP
portunity, and In a m 1t was
zone again. The two figures shrank
Into the shadow Of the hut, n the
next moment the light disappeared.
For a moment. an accession OF
rage against the two who had baffled

90 long, almost led him to attempt to
break into the hut then and there, and
settle matters; but his saner common
sense told him that the settlement
would almost inevitably be against
him should he attempt 1t.
He was still entertaining this no
ton, however. when a luminous idea
occurred to him. Around on the far
side of the hut, the west side, which
looked toward the headlands, was a
good-sized heap Of ire-wood. which
Philip had not been able to find
room for inside the hut. Roscoe had
with him a flint and steel and u
quantity Of tow. He never Travelled
without them.
With infinite precaution against
noise he began laying a fire against
the windward wall of the hut. Squat
ting. with his rifle across his knees
ready to use in case of an emergency,
he methodically whitfield a quantity OF
dry splinters on a few OF the sticks
ignited them and carefully nursed the
blaze, until. under the rising wind, IL
grew to the beginning OF a fair-sizeo
confiagration. Then, catching up MS
rine. he slipped around the other side
of the hut. crouching down not more
thar 20 PAGES away. and waited.
Already the fire was burning nneiy
and the silhouetted outline OF the nut
was plain against the glow OF H.
His plan was a good one. the PEG
pie inside the hut would have NO
choice and, probably, no thought pu'
Of escape. When they rushed out, as
they almost certainly would, bewiid'
cred and confused, and plainly visible

1t was only. indeed, by the meres'

cape by the nearest way from a burn
ing building is almost Irresistible. and
1t led Philip and Jeanne to the very
d OF the destruction, which Roscoe
mad planned for them.
Cayley had his hand upon the bolt
OF the great door, whittier he had
sprung when Jeanne's cry had awak-
ened him, before the saving second
thought stayed him and held him
frozen where he was. For perhaps
hve seconds he stood there. while the
memory of the unexplained bullet hole
he had found In the body OF the great
bear. and the belated observation that
the fire, which was destroying the hut,
must ave been started outside of it,
~articulated themselves into a perfect
ly clear perception of Roscoe's plan.
The other way! The other way"
he cried, motioning Jeanne back
through the storeroom. Into the
cave. He is waiting for us outside.
That's why he fired the hut. Quick.
We IL save all we can"
And so it happened that Roscoe
waited in vain. He saw the blaze he
had kindled reach its fiery climax,
n then In spite of the icy gale which
was tanning 1t. die down into an
angry, %sullen. s~mouldering glow. But
no man appeared to furnish a mark
for his waiting rife. and no woman
was delivered d~efenseless, shelterless,
into his british hands.
The failure of his plan brought
back a moment or two of the old sup
erstitious horror, but his mind was
braced against 1t now and did not
readily give way. Somehow, the fail
ure must be accountable-humanly ac-
countable.
partly solved 1t, at least, for he re-
membered the ice cave back of the
hut His first impulse, when he
thought of 1t, was to attack them
there and now, &c charge in over the
red hot Goals of the hut and settle
matters ono and for all.
He was sane enough to see that the
advantage would be all against him
In close quarters he could not do
much with a rife; and he remember
ed the deadly revolver shooting he
had seen upon the body of the bear.
Also, he would have to go into the
dark. with the freight behind him.
No. It wouldn't do. He must wait.
Well, he could afford to wait-much
better than they could.
Reluctantly he rose. turned his
broad back to the gale. and began ma
king his laborious way back to the
cave.
It was high time. His face a
frozen already. The intensity of the
cold had already rendered his rife
useless, for the whole mechanism of
the breech was frozen fast, His STRAIT
agem had failed in its ultimate inten-
ton, for nature had laid her great icy
hand upon the board and for the pres

CHAPTER Xxx.

The midday moon had changed the
somber purple Of the NOV to silver.
The snow lay everywhere. save upon
the vertical face Of the cliff itself, an
unrent, immaculate mantle over all
this arctic world. The valley, the
hills. the beach and the frozen sea
all lay at peace beneath 1t, as II asleep
or dead.
To Cayley, where he lay. suspended
in midsky, the moonlight cleaning
upon the sensitive fabric OF his
planes, as II CLEANS upon the faint
ripples on q mill pond in the dead Of
some June night-to Cayley this white,
sleeping. frozen world looked very
far away. He was awning for the
first time since that eternity ago when
he had descended upon the beach be-
side Jeanne to warn her OF the ap-
proach Of the bear.
How long age hat was. by the
measure OF hours and days and weeks,
he did not know. He had no data for
an estimate that would be better than
a guess. He remembered how des-
~perately they had worked that night,
saving what they could from the burn
ing hut and carrying 1t back n the
cave: remembered with what labor he
and Jeanne had climbed the ice chin
ney to the only shelter that now re
manned to them. the little pilot house
observatory upon the clif-head; re
membered the unremitting labor of
uncounted hours while they adjusted
their way Of life to the conditions I'M
posed by the calamitous loss OF the
hut.
But after that there were lapses OF
time which memory did not cover.
During that time he knew the ut,
most fury Of the arctic winter had
! been raging over them. without cessa'
ton. They had been sheltered from
II down in the heart OF the great drift
of snow which the storm had heaped
about them. But. even In this security
the shock of those successive parox'
vans OF natures titanic rage reached
down and benumbed them, body and
soul.
But at last the rage OF the storm
had spent itself and had become still.
The bitterness OF the cold relaxed and
became milder. Cayley had felt the
blood stirring in his veins again, the
mower OF consecutive thought and the
ambition to live. coming once more
