Instead Of firing. he scrambled up to
the top Of the nearest ice hummock
and from there watched Cayley' flight
TO his landing place.
He laughed aloud when he saw that
It was not In the side of the cliff. as he
had feared, but quite at the crest of 1t
where It was as accessible to a man
who could climb a bit as to one with
wings.
He did not move from his attitude
Of strained attention. on the summit
Of q little Ice hill, until he saw a faint
glow OF golden light diffusing itself
from the mouth of the tunnel that led
to the pilot house. Then. with that
queer stunning gait of his, which was

this fact, and he figured it out from
the top Of the promontory, which
formed the western boundary Of their
strip Of beach, he should be able to
command a view straight into the tun-
mel. Also. there was at this point a
p~rscipitous trail up the cliff. No one
but Roscoe would have called It a
trail, but that was the way 1t existed
In his mind.
His calculation Of the angle OF the
tunnel proved to be correct, for from
his nswly-gained coign of vantage. he
could see straight into the pilot house
and make out clearly enough two hg-

about the room convinced him that
what he feared wors had not happen

him, almost at once, when he saw
the v had been removed from the
top of the Ice chimney.
In his mind. of course. that repre-
sented the way Roscoe had come.

the edge and looked over, but 1t was
too dark to see. The light of the au-
rora which still blazed in the sky, daz-
lied his eyes, without lighting the
surface of the world below.
He must go down there, in order to
be sure. He had not stopped to furl
his planes when he alighted. and they
had wedged themselves sideways into
the tunnel. still extended and so ready
for flight in an emergency.
He righted them and slipped his
arms through the loops that awaited
them. He stood for a moment. test
Ing the right wing tentatively. There
was a play about 1t that he did not I'M
derstand. So far as he could see moth

his own arm did not occur to him.
He was Just turning to dive of the
cliff-head when, suddenly, he saw the
great form of the man he had sup
posed to be dead. rise and rush upon
him.
Philips knife had, indeed, inflicted a
mortal wound, but a man of Roscoe's
physique lets 60 of life slowly. He
was bleeding to death, internally, but
the process was. probably, retarded by
his huddled position as he lay there
in the tunnel.
So he had lain still and awaited his
chance. Cayley was standing quite
at the edge of the cliff. and the mans
momentum carried him over. His
clutching hands grasped Cayley's
shoulders. and they Wen down to-
gether. over 500 feet Of empty space.
For Cayley the space was all too little.
As they went over he thought that he
and his gigantic enemy were going

think, he swept his great-fantail for

They were. Of course. bound to 60

area of his planes was sufficient to
support them both In the air. But in
the position into which he had iung
himself they would go down a little
