He had not long to wait. Long be-
fore the moon twilight had gone out
of the sky he saw in 1t silhouetted
against it, the sight from which
he had once fled with such mad
terror-the broad expanse of the sky
mans wings.
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 it
where 1t was as accessible to 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 little ice hill, until he saw faint
glow of golden light diffusing itself
to the pilot house Then, with that
queer shutting gait Of his, which was
| neither walk nor run, he began max
ing his way inshore, over the ice, to-
ward the foot of the cliff.
Cayleys tunnel was not at right
angles to the crest, but bore off dag
onally westward. Roscoe had noted
this fact, and he figured 1t 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
precipitous trail up the cliff. No one
but Roscoe would have called it
TRAIL but that was the way it existed
in his mind
His calculation of the angle of the
tunnel proved to be correct, for from
his newly gained coign of vantage, he
could see straight into the pilot house

working without fatigue and without
termission-working so long as the
moonlight lasted.
He was just setting out with his last
load when, glancing skyward to see
how long the light would hold, he
caught glimpse of Cayley on the
wing. The sight occasioned him no
return-nOt even momentary-of the
old terror. He cursed little because
he had not his rifle with him; the sky
man soaring slowly and not very high,
presented a mark he could almost GER
tainly have hit
It was surprising, of course, to see
him alive, but Roscoe, in his present
state, never thought of looking to SUI
pernatural means to account for the
fact. Indeed, he was hardly more than
a moment in approximating the true ex
PLANTATION. There might well be, he
supposed, up somewhere in the face
of the cliff a cave, or shelter, of which
he knew nothing, and easily acces-
sible to anyone who happened to pos
sess flying machine.
Skirt1ng the cliff and keeping well
in its shadow, he made his way with
his last load, back to his cave. Here
he spent few minutes cleaning his
rife, making sure that the mechanism
of the breech was working perfectly.
and filling it's magazine full of car
tridges.
The moon was just setting, but the
sky was still bright enough to give
him a good hope Of making out Cay
ley's winged figure against it.
Roscoe squatted down in the lee of
the great hummock of ice, surveyed
the heavens with keen, practised eyes,
munching on strip Of dried walrus-
and waited very contentedly

CHAPTER XXI.
In the Pilot House.

Cayley had been right in assuming,
as he did in his conversation with
Jeanne, upon the subject, that Roscoe
had never noticed the ice chimney, nor
suspected the existence of the pilot
house upon the cliff-head. Also, he
had followed correctly the track Of
Roscoe's mind in the deduction that
the two latest castaways upon this
land-that Is, Philip and jeanne
must have persisted in the great storm
which began on the night when he
fired the hut, and continued for SO
many weeks that he, like them, lost
all trace of reckoning
During the storm he had lived in
the cave, much as Philip and Jeanne
had lived in the pilot house on the
cliff; he had, that is to say, in some
purely automatic fashion, kept on ex-
listing. The mere momentum of ma
ture mans vitality makes it hard for
him to die. But when the storm
abated and milder weather came, he
bestirred himself. as Cayley did, and
set about digging tunnel Of his own
through the great drift which had
blocked the entrance to his cave.
The next time the moon came up,
after he had completed the tunnel
from the cave, he set out down the
beach toward the ruins OF the hut.
It was not mere curiosity which
att acted him, nor any lurking fear
but simply the hope of making some
salvage from the wreckage of the hut,
or possibly, from the bodies of his two
victims, in case he was lucky enough
to find them. He had no doubt at all
that they were dead.
His pleasure over the quantity and
condition of the stores he found In
the Ice cave compensated for his
over not finding the
bodies of his two latest victims
Evidently they had not even at
tempted to use such shelter as the ice
chamber afforded. for it showed no
mark of human habitation at all. They
had probably wandered outside and
died In one of the nearby drifts. Per
haps he would find them some day.
For the present, however, the stores
occupied his whole attention.
Very methodically he set to work.

she was safe, he told himself. She
was armed with heavy revolver, was
good shot and had plenty of nerve.
She was in place, the only avenue
OF access to which would give her a
tremendous advantage over any in
Vader So that, even supposing the
Worst-supposing that Roscoe's alb
sence were taken to mean that he had
gone to make an attack on the pilot
house, there could hardly be a doubt
that Jeanne would kill him.
His reasoning was all based on the
assumption that the pilot house was
inaccessible to any wingless creature
except by way of the ice chimney.
Even now, when his fear for the girl
was amounting to a superstition OF al
most irresistible intensity, it did not
occur to him to question that.
He steadied himself as best he could
and crouched down in the shelter of
the big rock to await Roscoe's return.
He had hardly settled himself here
when he saw something that made
him shake his head impatiently, and
swear a little. 1t was the winking
glow of an aurora borealis, off to the
north.
Cayley gazed at the spectacle unwill-
ingly, but still he gazed. And, some
how, though he fought the feeling des-
perately, it began to assume a per-
sonal significance to him-a signif1-
canoe of mockery. The whole sky was
qu1vering with vast silent laughter
Was 1t because he, with his fancied
cleverness and daring in finding Ros-
GOES lair and waiting for his return to
it. was really doing precisely the thing
that Roscoe would have had him do?
Were those sky-witches laughing over
what was happening up at the pilot
house while he sat here and waited?
No intelligence, no sane power of
consecutive reasoning can resist this
sort of thing definitely, and at last
Cayley's power of resistance came to
an end
He sprang to his feet, at, last, drip

height little above the crest of the
cliff, 1t was hardly more than a mat
ter of seconds before he came oppo-
site the dome-like mound of snow
which covered the pilot house.
There was no light shining out Of
the tunnel entrance. But that was
as he had expected it to be. He made
1t out easily enough; and in another
moment had alighted there.
"Jeanne!" he called.
1t was not the exert1on of fight, but
a sudden intolerable apprehension that
made him GREATNESS. The word had
halted little in his throat. Exact
ly as he uttered 1t he saw down the
tunnel, and in the pilot house ITSELF
a tiny spark of fire, and heard the
click of steel against flint.
What the spark Illuminated were
the fingers of a gigantic, hairy hand.
"Jeanne!" he called again, and now
his voice came clear enough. wait a
minute and I'll make light for you"
