She caught her breath in a great
sob. Turning a little, she clasped her
own young arms around his neck and
held him tight.
It was a long time after that be-
fore either of them spoke, Finally,
Jeanne asked a question.
But. why" her voice broke in an
unsteady little laugh. "but why do you
ask to be forgiven? You told me the
very first day, the day we found the
yacht had gone, that you-loved me.
That's why l allowed you to stay"
Yes, but there's an infnity of ways
Of loving, Jeanne dear. | had a right
to love the soul Of you, for that was
what had given me my own soul back
and my power Of loving. But we set
out to live through this winter in the
hope OF a rescue, the hope that when
another day anne 1t would bring a
ship to take you back into your own
real world. l couldn't 60 back with
you, you know, l a man with a stain
upon him. Since that was so, l hadn't
any right to love you this-other way.
| wonder if you understand, even now.
L love all Of you; from the crown of
glory you wear, down to the print
your boot has left in the snow. l love
your lashes, your wistful lips. The
touch of anything that is warm with
your hands can thrill me. And as for
the hands themselves-oh, l can't
make you understand"
Yes" she said very softly, 81 IN.
derstand, now"
And yet" he began after awhile,
Il haven't any right, when must give
you up some day J."
She laid her fingers on his lips.
We'll not talk of rights" she said.
Not now, not tonight. But there's
something more to say Philip, it
wasn't the sight of the ship there
against the moon that made me think
wanted it all to end. That was the
excuse made to myself, but it was
only an excuse, The real despair
came when | saw you flying, saw how ,
gloriously free you were up there, and
thought it wasn't love that kept you
here beside me, but only pity Well,
a sort of love, perhaps, but not what |
wanted, not what l felt for you. I'd
seer you draw away when l touched
you"
She heard a sound In his throat
that might have been a sob, though it
seemed meant for a laugh, and she
felt his arms tighten about her with
a sudden passion that almost hurt. So
she said no more, just kissed him and
lay still.
1t was q good while after that that
she made a move to release herself.
Let me go now" she said, and I'll
get you some supper, or breakfast, or
whatever We decide to call it-only
you'll have to go down into the ice
cave to get some more supplies. We've
nothing much left up here"
She dropped down on a heap of
bear-sKins before the open door, and
sat gazing out at the black velvety
patch Of sky which capped the snow
tunnel. Even when she heard Cayley
coming back up the ice chimney she
not Immediately turn to look at
him. 1t was, in a way, a sort of lux
ury not to; to think that if she waited
she would presently hear his step
nearer and feel his hands upon
her shoulders.

all. The Walrus people never dis
covered the ice chimney nor the pilot
house. That's perfectly clear. If they
had they would have rifled it long
ago,
When finish, I'll come back to
you, l don't think I shall be gone
very long. You aren't to be afraid for
me, and you can trust me to be are
full. l know l have your life in my
hands as well as my own. Your part
Is harder than mine; l quite under
stand that. You must be keeping
watch every second. If he eludes me
and comes here, you must shoot him,
without word or warning, Shoot to
kill"
But l sha'n't have the revolver!"
There waa an electric moment Of
silence between them, while she gazed
into his face, Mortified at the meaning
she read there.
you didn'S mean that Philip,
Philip-you can't mean that. And
leave you to face that monster I'M
armed"
Il shall have the only weapon that
will be of any service to me, my knife.
It's got to be done at close quarters.
l couldn't possibly shoot him from the
air. But if | can alight near him and
come up within striking distance he
will have no chance with me, not with
all his strength"
NO" she said, r~esolutely, 81 won't
let you go. Not that way"
Listen, Jeanne. If | can find him,
l a kill him. Do you know what the
movements Of ordinary men, even I'M
usually quick men, look like to me?
Like the motions of marionettes. The
only chance Roscoe has against me is
Of picking me off at long range with
his rife. He could do that whether
| had a revolver or not. And if he did,
if he killed me and had the revolver,
then-well, then he would come here
and find you-defenseless. Don't you
see? I couldn't take the revolver. /
should be unnerved with terror from
the moment l left you"
With a sob she clasped her arms
about his neck and held him tight.
Then, in tragic submission, they
dropped away.
Without saying anything more, Cay
ley blew out the candle, opened the
door into the tunnel and took up his
furled wings. With trembling hands
she helped him spread them and draw
them taut.
AS he adjusted the straps across his
shoulders, he felt her hands again,
upon his head, felt them clasp behind
his neck.
"Goodby," she said.
He was trembling all over, as her
hands were, but it was not with fear.
81 shall come back safe" he said.
Nothing can harm me tonight"
He pulled her up close In his en-
folding arms and kissed her mouth.
In an instant he turned and dived off
the cliff-head into the night.
He headed up into the wind, and
hung for a moment soaring upon a
fairly steady current of air that
poured along parallel to the cliff.
When he reached the glacier he
checked his speed a little and
slanted down to an altitude Of not
more than two or three hundred feet

yet every sensation It brought him
was heightened and make thrilling BY
long disuse. By means Of those great.
obedient wings OF his he played upon
the caprictous, Vagrant cir with the
superb insolence Of mastery. Every
trick Of fight was at his command,
the flashing dive of the piratical frig.
gate bird, the corkscrew spiral of the
tern, the %plummet-like pounce of the
hawk, and, at last, the majestic, soar.

above the crest. He hardly expected
a glimpse Of Roscoe so soon, having
no reason to think he would be here,
but he began scanning the earth's sur.
face closely with the idea Of accustom-
ing his eyes to the light and the dis
lance. Yet it was not his eyes. but
his sensitive nostrils which gave him
his first hint Of the probable where
about of the man he was looking for.
The frozen air which he had been
drawing deep into his lungs was odor,
less. save for the family acrid sugges
ton of ozone about lt-a thing, by the
way, which he was puzzled to account
for, unless it presaged some titanic
electrical display in the sky.
But the odor which now invaded his
fastidious n~ostrils automatically
checked his flight. He tilted back his
planes and his momentum sent him
towering almost vertically aloft. He
did not analyze it-not that first in
slant, but his sensation was the same
one that makes a dog suddenly throw
up Its head and snarl, bristling.
1t a moment he knew that 1t was
smoke, the smoke Of no clean, spar
king wood fire, but of smouldering
bones and the flesh Of some animal.
Slowly he began to descend in the
sweeping circles of a great spiral, con-
stantly searching with an eagerness,
which amounted almost to an agony
for the point Of angry red which would
tell him where his enemy was to be
found. He had no doubt as all that
his enemy was there. The man who
had laid that fire was likely to be
sleeping beside it.
He was within 20 feet of the level
Cd the ice before his little mirror Of
ccncave silver caught the CLEAN of
rcd that he was looking for.
He threw his head back sharply and
gazed at 1t. He could not see the fire
ltself-that must be hidden behind the
great rock which almost blocked the
entrance to what must be the cave.
The CLEAN he had caught in his
mirror had been reflected In turn
from the cleaning surface Of a mass
of Ice a little farther out.
He slanted away again, searching
now for a level place to alight, found
it within 100 yards Of the cave-mou, a,
circled once completely round, to
make sure that he could not be sur
prised in the act of getting clear of
his wings, and a moment later came
down soundlessly, except with a faint
slither of his planes, upon the ice.
He bounded almost instantly to his
feet, slipped his knife out of his belt
and held the heft of it between his
teeth while he furled his planes. That
done, he deposited the bundle In the
angle Of a projecting rock, and stealth
lily made his way toward the v
mouth.
At the very edge Of the shelter af-
forded by the rock he paused for an
instant; then, with every nerve tuned
to the highest pitch-with every mus
Gle in a state Of supple relaxation, yet
instantly ready for any demand that
might be made upon it-he stepped
round the corner and into the mouth
of the cave.

HEA Wy BLOW TO

Democratic Tariff Program

tor-Mt. Clare News.

MT. CLARE, W. Va, May 10
The promise that work would re
sumo IN full at all the mines or this
region May has not been fulfilled.
There has been slight increase in
the tonnage loaded at some of the
mines, but Others are idle or run
ming very snort time.
For some time it has been sus-
pected that the uncertainty OF the
acton Of Congress on the tariff
schedules had much to do with the
waiting attitude of the operators,
and a recent visit here of a proml-
nent Independent operator of Fair
mont has practically confirmed that
suspicion. He stated that his COM
pany was closely following the pro-
ceedings of the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes and that il the program
supported by the majority leaders
OF that body is carried out, 1t
"ouid be heavy blow to the coal
industry of this state.
If the mining interests were all
that would be affected by down
ward revision" he said, at might
not be so serious. Even with a low
tariff we might hold our own, but
when we know it would close the
great manufacturing plants that are
large consumers of coal, it is not
difficult to foretell what would hap
pen to the coal industry, the rail-
roads and all other branches OF
business
The gentlemen stated that there
had never been time when SO much
depended on the national law
makers and expressed the hope that
there would be a continuance Of the
policies that have meant industrial
peace and prosperity.
