Cayley's Promise.


For this small mercy Cayley thanked
God The girl did not understand.

hers and putting back, into place,
stray locks Of hair that were in the
way. The foe must have gone to

remained looking intently into his
eyes. MIR. Cayley," she asked pres
emily, were you telling me last night
what you really thought was true. or
were you Just encouraging me-I
mean about those men who attacked
the yacht? Are you afraid, after all,
that our people are not In possession
Of the Aurora, wherever she is?"

But II our people beat them on

Apparently not" said Cayley.
They may have all been killed before
they could get back TO shore. or some
OF them may have been captured. No.
| really don't think you need worry
about them"
She drew n long deep breath. flung
out her arms wide, and then stretched
them skyward What day It is.
Was there ever such day down there
in that warm green world that people
live in7-Oh. ! don't wonder that you

But presently Cayley got to his feet

answering the question which she had
not spoken-"no. don't foresee any
danger to you. IT'S Just on general
principles"
I'm pretty good shot. But II
you're going on a hunting expedition
for our breakfast and there isn't any
foreseeable danger to me in being left
alone, It seems reasonable that you
should take the gun"
Ho took the revolver from his belt,
however. and hold II out to her. Our
breakfast doesn't have to be shot. And
as Il concession to my feelings-no.
It's nothing more than that-Id rather
you took IT,"
She did Ms 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 dbound 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 pngcs OF carefully tabulated
data concerning the winds, currents,
temperature. and magnetic variations
got scant attention. In her present
mood the homcliest little adventure,
the idlest diversion OF winters day
meant more to her than all her fa~
TIERS 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

stabbed the eye. And as those
great moving masses ground together,
they flung. high into the air, broad
shimmering wells Of rose-colored
spray.
OF the foe, which they had consid-
cred stable as the land itself, there
was no longer any sign. There was
nothing there, nothing at all to greet
their eyes. to seaward. but the savage
beauty OF the ice.

IT'S hard to tell. Generally in this

the level Of my eyes; and pass for
tall man"
His father abandoned the subject
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 n new
terror. and as soon as he could feel
that his son was in condition to be
left alone, he left him, with n broken
word Of excuse. He must either set
this new terror at rest, or know the
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 80 easily taken. He knew all the
details Of the devilish plan which had
so 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
questions had enabled him to enjoy
the luxury OF full confession.
30 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 It,
I've thought of something" he
said, after he had climbed up beside
them-"I've thought of something that
makes 1t seem possible to go on liv.

The two older men exchanged @
swift glance. He WAS not to know
about Roscoe. II he had found some
thing to hope for, no matter how Il
lusory, he should be allowed to Reer
ito hug 1t to his breast. in place OF
the horrible. torturing vision OF the
human monster which the other two
men saw.

her: I'm sure he is" He turned
awNy little from Captain Warner
and spoke directly to his father. 81

the look In his eyes did not change
the light of serene, untroubled
hope.-"He's there with her." he wen,
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.
