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
and the other people of the Walrus
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 perished 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.
isting. The mere momentum OF a 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.
1t was not mere curiosity which
attracted 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
disappointment 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
carrying them off 10 his own cavs,

she was safe, he told himself She
WAS armed with heavy revolver, was
a good shot and had plenty Of nerve.
She was in a place, the only avenue
Of access to which would give her q
tremendous advantage over any in
vader. So that even supposing the
worst-supposing that Roscoe's ab-
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 tho
assumption that the pilot house was
inaccessible to any wingless creature
except by way Of the Ice chimney.
Even now. whom 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 crooched down in the shelter Of
tho big rock to await Roscoes return.
He had hardly settled himself here
when he saw something that made
him shake his head impatiently, and
swear a little. It was the winking
glow Of an aurora borealis, on to the
north.
Cayley gased at the spectacle unwill-
ingly. but still he gazed. And. some
how. though he fought the feeling des-
perately, 1t began to assume a per-
sonal significance to him-a signif-
canoe of mookery. Tho whole sky was
/ Quivering 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 doi
Were those sky-witches laughing over
what was happening up at the pilot
house while he sat here and waited 7
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
ping with sweat in spite of the cold,
caught up his bundled wings, unfurled
them and took the air with rush.
Once he had jerked himself aloft to a
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 1t to be. He made
1t out easily enough; and in another
moment had alighted there.
"Jeanne!" he called.
II was not the exertion Of flight, but
a sudden intolerable apprehension that
made him breathless. The word had
halted little In his throat. Exact.
ly as he uttered It he saw down the
tunnel, and in the pilot house itself,
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 a light for you"

CHAPTER XXl.-ContInued,

Probably no apparition OF the mon.
ster he expected to find there-no
sight of him towering expectant,
armed. anticipating all that Cayley
aoped to do, and ready to frustrate it,
could have been 30 terrifying to PhiliD
q the thing he actually saw, which
vas-nothing. At least, so far as a
nrst glance into the cave would re-
veal. his enemy was not there.
Cayley shuddered. not with fear,
and yet with a sensation stronger
than disgust. 1t was as If a leopard
had been standing over the deserted
lair Of hyena. A wild beasts lair
It was and not human habitation.
The floor was Uttered with feathers
and halfgnawed bones. The rocky
walls dripped with oil SCOT of his hor-
nble cooking. The foul air of the
place was actually iridescent. But
the real horror Of It lay in the fact
that Roscoe was not there.
Cayley's reasoning faculties attack
ed that blind. irrational horror with
all their force. From the condition Of
the fire 1t was evident that Roscoe
had been gone several hours. 1t was
almost certain that he would return
soon. Cayley's arrival in his absence
really gave him an immense advant-
age. A man always comes unwariiy
into the place he calls home. If Ros-
coe came back now he would have no
chance at all against Cayley's quick
spring and the fash Of the long knife
blade.
Certainly 1t was reasonable to ex-
pect that Roscoe would wait for an
other moonrise before setting out on
any serious sort of expedition, and, If
that assumption were correct. he
might be returning to the cave at any
moment
He strobe abruptly back to the cave
mouth. AS he did so, however, his
eye alighted on something that made
him pause-something SO strangely
Gut of keeping with It's surroundings
hat 1t caused him-or he thought that
vas the reason-a sense OF recogni.
ton, almost of familiarity.
The thing which SO evidently did
not belong to Roscoe that It seemed
almost to belong to Philip himself,
was a gold locket. 1t lay on a fiat bit
of rock. which seemed to serve Ros.
GOES purpose as a table. The objects
which surrounded it-an irregular
piece Of raw walrus hide, an over
turned bottle OF whale oil, with a
smudgy wick in 1t, a sailmaker's
needle and some ravelings of canvas,
together with some scraps Of food-all
spoke SO loud Of Roscoe and made such
a contrast with this bit OF jewelry that
Cayley's action In STOPPING to pick It
up was automatic.
He held It In his hand a moment as
II he did not know quite what to do
with IT, then put Z. in his pocket and
went out of the cave. Only during
the moment when It had first caught
his eye had 1t really commanded his
attention at all. BY the time he got
outside OF the cave he had forgotten
It
Two or three breaths OF the clear
air outside of the cave were all he
needed to revive him. physically. But
TO his surprise they did not sufiice to
rid him Of the feeling which he re-
garded as superstitious. namely, the
impulse to fly back to Jeanne as fast
~ wing could carry him.
He lad every reason to believe that

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is Inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the throat, and
If this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive a predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic Is both a
preventative and a cure for sore
throat because 1t possesses extraor-
binary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just a little in a glass
of water, used as a gargle, will quick
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane Of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, 25 and SOC a box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Mass.

Observation-Disclosures
PLAYING DETECTIVE
By CLAUDINE SISSON
Copyright. 1914. by Associated Literary press.)

Miss Cleo Gates was visiting her
sister, Mrs. George Marshall. Mr.. Mar.
shall was general manager of the de.
partment store of Moses & wainwright.
Therefore, Miss Cleo heard much
shop talk. About the only thing that
interested her, however. was the talk
about shoplifters. The store was
constantly troubled with them, and it
was only at long intervals that n
was caught, although a store detective
was supposed to have her eyes every
where.
One night when the manager came
home to say that goods worth 5000
had been lifted that day from un-
der the lose of the store watchdog,
who was a young woman of rs. and
that she would be discharged at the
end of the week, Miss Cleo announced,
in a very serious tone:
II am a natural born detective"
A laugh greeted the words.

More laughing.
"A year ago when this diamond ring
was suddenly missing, father and moth.

You have given us a lot of figures
about immigration, increase of wealth,
the growth of trusts and all that"

Slowly and deliberately the orator
took a glass of water.
Then he pointed his finger straight
at the questioner. Lightning flashed
from his eyes. and he replied, in a
voice that made the gas jets culver:
Advertise for 1t, you ignoramus!"
The audience cheered and yelled
and stamped, and the w%retched man
who had asked the question crawled
out of the hall a total wreck.

Rifle for Under Water Use.

When he is working in water infest'
ed by sharks and other sea monsters
likely to do him harm, the diver has
at present to rely for his safety on tho
use Of the knife or, failing that, on a
quick return to the surface. Now
comes the invention Of Captain Grobl,
a German diving instructor, who has
constructed a rifle which can be fired
under water, and is designed for the
better arming of the diver. The most
remarkable thing about this is hat it
fires, not bullets, but water, which is
propelled with such farce that 1t has
an extraordinary power of penetration.
indeed. the inventor himself has
pierced armor plate of medium thick
ness with the water jet from his
weapon. The rife has a stout barrel
and is loaded with a cartridge cased
in India rubber.

DISFIGURED WITH CRUSTS

Some time ago I was taken with
eczema from the top of my head to
my waist. 1t began with scales IN my
body. I suffered untold itching and
burning, and could not sleep. I was
greatly disfigured with scales and
crusts. My ears looked as if they had
been most cut off with a razor, and
my neck was perfectly raw. l suffered
untold agony and pain. l tried two
doctors who said I had eczema in its
fullest stage, and that 1t could not
be cured. then tried other rem
edies to no avail. At last, tried a set
of the genuine Cuticura Remedies,
which cured me Of eczema when all
else had failcS, therefore l cannot
praise them too highly.
Il suffered with eczema about ten
months, but am entirely cured,
and I. believe Cuticura Remedies are
the best skin Sure there is" (Signed)

Twenty-four Carloads Purchased for
Lewis Single Binder Cigar

What is probably the biggest lot Of
all fancy grade tobacco held by any
factory In the United States has Just
been purchased by Frank P. Lewis, of
Peoria, for the manufacture of Lewis
Single Binder Cigars. The lot will
make twenty.four carloads, and is Sc.
lected from what is considered by ex.
perts to be the finest crop raised in
many years. The purchase of tobacco
is sufficient to last the factory more
than two years. An extra price was
paid for the selection. Smokers of
