somewhat curious circumstance that
nothing whatever was missing from
the personal effects OF the Quains,
forced him to make an explanation.

"Two," returned Amber SO patiently
that Quain requested him, explosively,
to go to the devil. If you don't mind"

and chill touched gently his cheek,
and was gone. Startled, he glanced
skyward. then extended an arm,
watching it curiously while the rough
fabric of his sleeve vas sailed gen
erously with fine white fakes. Though
to some extent apprehe2ded (they had
been blind indeed to have ignored the

CHAPTER III.
Marooned.

Marooned.
A cry In the windy dusk: q sudden,
hollow booming overhead a vision of
countless wings in panic, sketched in
black upon a background of dulled
silver; two heavy detonations and,
with the least of intervals, a third;
three vivid flashes of crimson and
gold stabbing the purple twilight; and
then the acrid reek of smokeless
drifting into Amber's face, while from
the sky, where the V-shaped flock had
been, two stricken bundles of blood
stained feathers fell slowly, fluttering.
Shotgun poised abreast, his keen
eyes marking down the fall of his
prey, Amber stood without moving,
exultation battling with a vague re-
morse in his bosom-as always when
he killed. Quain, who had dropped
back pace after firing but one shot
and scoring an unqualified miss at
close range, now stood plucking clum-
silly, with half frozen fingers, at an
| obstinate breechlock.

A bur OF snow swept between boat
and shore; when it had passed the
former was all but indistinguishable.

indominitable spirit fostering the for
