SO 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 It
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 fire-wood, which
Philip had not been able to find
room for inside the hut. Roscoe had
with him flint and steel and a
quantity Of tow. He never Travelled
without them.
With infinite precaution against
noise he began laying fire against
the windward wall Of the hut. Squat

ready to use in case Of an emergency,
he methodically whitfield quantity Of
dry splinters of few Of the sticks,
ignited them and carefully nursed the
blaze, until, under the rising wind, 1t
grew to the beginning Of fair-sized
conflagration. Then, catching up his
rife. he slipped around the other side
OF tho hut, crouching down not more
than 20 PAGES away. and waited.
Already the fire was burning finely
and the silhouetted outline Of the hut
was plain against the glow Of 1t.
His plan was a good one. The peo-
pie inside the hut would have no
choice and, probably, no thought, but
Of escape. When they rushed out, as
they almost certainly would. bewild-
cred and confused, and plainly visible

1t was only, indeed. by the merest
hairs breadth that Roscoe's plain
failed to work The instinct OF es-
cape by the nearest way from a burn
ing building is almost irresistible, and
1t led Philip and Jeanne to the very
edge Of the destruction, which Roscoe
had 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
five seconds he stood there, while the

Then, with the rife over his shoul-
der, he staggered out OF the cave.
With his first glance abroad, he
started. His devil was being kind to
him today. There could be no doubt
Of that Only. was he being too kind?
Roscoe wondered q little uneasily.
For, shambling along the ice, through
the thickening twilight, not 100 paoes
away, was big bear. Roscoe was
tired of walrus meat. The thought OF
4 bear steak made his mouth water.
Three years disuse, however. had
made his Workmanship somewhat
uncertain. He fred too soon, and
though he did not miss. the only ef-
feet his shot had was to make the
bear turn about and go shamblinS
down the glacier toward the beach,
with ungainly haste. Roscoe hurried
after him, and fired two more shots.
Whether they hit or not, he could not
tell Certainly they did not serve to
check the bears flight. The next mo-

courage as 1t was that the mere feel

didn't matter, for he could follow

The last Of the twilight was still in
the sky, and half his glances were
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
theless, the shadow Of Cayley's great
wings. And at last he saw 1t i'm
pending in the lower air, like 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
gone from his mind; but he did not,
as on former occasion, drop down
prone upon the ground, his face buried
in his arms; nor did he turn and fee

had seen upon the body of the bear.
Also, he would have to go into the

better than they could.

1t was high time. His face was
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

Both tried TO stick to that view OF
II and, for the present, to dismiss
conjecture upon the new topic from
their minds. but they did not succeed
very well The idea that forced Itself
upon them, In spite of their attempt TO
discredit It, was that Roscoe's acqui-
sition OF modern, long range weapon

Roscoe had never been able to clear
up his doubt as to Jeanne's identity,
nor to solve the mystery of Cayley's
appearance In tho air. The doubt
and the mystery tormented him worse
than any final conviction could have
done. When he thought, as he some
times did, that the cause of all his

At what he saw then, Roscoe
dropped his life on the beach, with a
whispered oath, and rubbed his eyes.
The light which difrused 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
