He was walking steadily, glancing
neither to the right nor the left. Even
over the treacherous, summer-glazed

carried him along at pace which his

The ThrowInq-Stick,

Across the table from where she sat
at breakfast in the snug, warm, lux.
urious little dining room on the yacht,
old Mr. Fanshaw methodically laid his
coffee spoon in the saucer beside his
cup, and looked up at her with his
slow, deliberate smile.
"My deer." he said, remember that

everything that, by the utmost stretch

predicted confidently. my sky-man

Old Mr.. Fanshaw halted his coffee

his face grew suddenly serious, and
he looked intently. curiously, into
hers. "My child" he cried; ut can't

pected hoax. but the terror in one
face and the mystiflcation In the other
were obviously genuine.
Then he rose and went over to the
buffet, returning to the table with the
oddly.shaped. rudely-whittled stick.
DO you mean to say" he demanded.
looking up at the girl with puzzled
lrown--"do you mean to say that he,
the man you dreamed about, made

She laughed. IF that seems rea,

least it slipped out of his belt and
found 1t where he had been sitting.
But can you imagine what he used 1t

again, and he saw her eyes brighten

Silently he reached across the table

the white cloth.

said, "and won't; it's your goodness

to secure it against discovery.
Long before the strongest glass on
the ship could have made out their
moving figures, he took the whole
party back to the hills in hiding. He
had kept them from answering the
halls and the gun-f1re from the yacht
by the sheer weight of his authority,
without vouchsafing a word of expla-
nation.
The next day they had seen the
searching party come ashore, and with
their knowledge of the lay of the
land found 1t perfectly easy to eyade
observation, though nothing but the
strong habit of obedience kept them
from counting 1t.
Then, along in the afternoon, had
happened what seemed to them the
strangest thing of all. They had seen
a solitary straggler from the search
ing party coming along across the
ice. He could not see them. 1t would
have been perfectly easy to evade
him, but Roscoe now ordered them
to go down to him and tell him who
they were, and to offer to escort him
along the trail down the glacier. And
at certain point they were to lag
behind and let him 60 on alone. That
was all any of them knew of their
leaders plans, till they saw the flying
dart and the smudge Of crimson on
the snow.
Now, at last, came Planck to tho
leader, asking the reason why But
his mission, as it appeared, had not
prospered.
For a long time Roscoe walked
steadily on, until the two had come
far up the glacier. Finally, when he
did stop, he whirled quite around and
stood confronting Planck, squarely in
the middle of narrow path between
two deep assures in the ice His eyes
were glittering malevolently
do you know any reason" he
asked in a thick voice, why l don't
pick you up and drop you down one
of those cracks there, or why don't
serve you as l served that fellow yes
terday?"
Planck thought he meant to do It,
but, with the fatalism that marks the
men of his profession, he stood fast
and eyed his big opponent.
You're strong enough to-" he said.
"And I'll do it If l want to; you
know that" Roscoe supplemented.
yes, 1 know that" The big man
nodded CURLY.
"Well, I'm not going to now, be-
cause l choose not to. Listen. If you
had the chance, could you navigate

ship down there?" If

Services in Many Churches.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, October Z, 1911
With the general elections but one
month OF, there Is but little interest be-
ing manifested here In the outcome. This
Is due to the fact that the only fight on
hand Is between State Senator r Ewell
Thornton, incumbent. Of Fairfax and AL
exander J. Wedderburn. also of that
county and this city. Senator's Swan
son and Martin are without opposition.
The indications are that very light vote
will be polled here on election day, No
vember next.
On the contrary, however, interest in
the election in Alexandria county is ap-
parent. Practically every officeholder in
the county has opposition. and as the
time for the election approaches the
contest wakes warmer. The various can
didates out in that county are leaving
no stone unturned in order to win out,
and the indications are that on election
day the vote will be the largest polled
in that county in recent years.

The fight between State Senator r.
Ewell Thornton and A. J. Wedderburn is
for a seat in the state senate to repre-
sent the fourteenth senatorial district,
