CHAPTER XIII.
Captain FIeIdlna,s Gospel.

Captain EIeldin0's Gospel.
Side BY side, upon that great sheep
skin, they sat, those two people, IN
the very lap Of death. A reasonable
estimate OF their chances would give
them, perhaps, a week to live. With
exceptional fortune, that week might
stretch itself into q month. The great
blue spirit OF the arctic would darken
to purple, and to black. The icy hand
OF the savage polar winter would get
it's clutches upon them. They
nothing to resist It with. No stores OF
ammunition or Of food. No clothing,
except what they wore. No fuel. save
what they could contrive to gather
along the talus bsfore the winter gales
would make further search impossible.
Neither Jeanne nor Cayley was OF q
sort to face the prospect OF that q
with resignation. They were young.
intensely alive, and with Jeanne, at
least, the best and biggest part Of life
lay, or had lain until yesterday, IN .
broad open road before her. hui .
prospect like the one that lay before
them brings its own anaesthstic with
it. It was 30 utterly hopeless hat It
became unreal. The face Of the future,
into which she had cast just one hor-
rihed glance, was 10 hideous that to
the girl, at least, 1t was like some
monster mask Of carnlval-too gro
tesquely horrible to be taken seri-
ously.
That il partly the reason why she

She nodded, and. turned to leave the

he called after her.
At that she halted abruptly in the
doorway. Why should I have it any

smile with one of her own, she added:

which he thought would serve till
greater leisure should allow him to
perfect 1t, he stepped outside the hut
and looked. first down and then up
the shore in search for her, and was
disappointed at finding her nowhere
in sight.
She must be dreadfully tired, he
thought, and with that thought decid-

ever, he transferred the remnants Of

II they were frozen. He could not
see that she was breathing. Her eyes
were turned away from him and he
was glad Of that. For another moment
more. at least, he need not read the
look In them. For now, at last, no
was sure she understood. He himself
fixed bis eyes upon the IRE and

written there he saw how she had

September 18th.-F1eld-ice came
into the bay last night, just as 1t has
come at about this season in the two
preceding years-a dense fog and q

me its coming Is a relief. 1t Is, In .

The tantalizing hope OF q rescue 10
now put away on the shelf to wait for
another summer. After all, to men In
