Roscoe had never been able to clear
up his doubt as to Jeannes identity,
nor to solve the mystery Of Cayley's
appearance in the air. The doubt
and the mystery tormented him worse
than any final conviction could have
done. When he thought, as he some
times did, that the cause Of all his
terror, the thing which kept him
penned up here in the cave and de-
MED him access to more than the fur
tive edges Of the beach, might be Just
rather defenseless human couple, a
man and a woman, and the woman
beautiful, young, allWing-when he
thought Of all that he would go on
into transports Of rage, which left
even his gigantic body limp and ex-
hausted II that were the situation,
he might have killed the man weeks
ago and taken possession Of the

The thing that kept him sane was
in itself, a species Of insanity, the pas
sion for gold which had led him to
murder Captain Fielding Every day

ledge and there, while the light lasted

out Of the rock, and with infinite labor

along, this UNMARRIED routine more thar

him, and gradually restored him to hit

better than they could.
Reluctantly he rose, turned hiS

1t was high time. His face was
frozen already. The intensity Of the
cold had already rendered his rife

"The sentence is that you shall be
frightened with bear story. There's
q big one coming down the beach aft
er you this very moment, and you're
to surrender the revolver to me and
stay under arrest in the hut until aft
er I have killed him."
She did not need to be told that he
was in earnest, in spite of the smile
that went with his words She turned
about quickly and looked up the
beach, sighting along Cayley's arm as
he pointed. Even in the deep twilight
she could already make out the sham
bling figure that was coming along to-
ward them on all fours.
why does he move in that queer
sort of way?' she whispered.
They had shrunk back into the
shadow of the hut, the girl actually
anside of the Vestibule and Cayley on
the doorstep.
"He's been wounded. When was
overhead l could make out the blood
stains on his side, and he was leaving
~ track on the ice.
Wounded in fight with another
Ibear?"
NO that's not likely"
She asked no further explanation,
but slipped into the hut. The next
moment she was back wilu the field
glasses.
while you're attending to the
bear" she said In whisper "Tll just
keep watch up the beach for-for any
one else"
The past weeks had made one diff
ference In her attitude toward Cayley
which she was now aware Of, as she
contrasted her sensations on seeing
Philip step forward, out Of the shelter
of The hut, to confront the bear, with
those she had experienced when he
had set out on a similar errand once
before. She knew him now, and she
had no fear for him. The feeling
that thrilled her now was nearer akin
70 pride than anything else.
Cayley fully justified her confidence.
The course the bear was taking would
have brought him within 20 yards OF
their doorstep. When he first caught
sight Of Cayley he stopped, In two
minds, apparently, whether to be
hunted or to do the hunting himself
Then, as Cayley advanced upon him
rather slowly, he decided, hissed al
him venomously and reared up.
He was already badly enough
wounded to have taken all the f1ght
out of any other sort Of animal, but
half alive as he was, he cost Cayley
tour cartridges. Three of those shots
Cayley was reasonably sure must have
entered vital spot. The first one
took the bear between the eyes as he
was rising. The second was fred intC

ably DETECTED by the massive fore
paw which he was holding across hi
body, in the attitude Of boxer. Th'
fourth shot, however, penetrated hi
throat and probably smashed one o
the two first vertebrae, for it seemet
to bring the monster down all IN

He reloaded the revolver, lettin

WEEKLY THEATRICAL LETTER
By JAMES GRANT THURsToN

New York, March 11.-(Special )-The men and women of the theatrical pro- fession, generally speaking, are no longer the foolish money spenders they used to be.
 Robert TIilliard, whose season in "A Fool There Was bellies the title of Porter Emerson Browne's thoughtful study of men, is a careful financiar as well as good actor. 2SpeaNng of players who have achieved wealth as well as fame, MT. Hilliard says:
 There was a time when the actor was rated a spendthrift. When I left of active speculation in Wall street to go upon the stage, the most lovable, bril- liant and biggest hearted actor in New York was the greatest prodiga1. Actors used to think that saving was sordid. lt Is very different now. Actors have come to distinguish between being a miser and an economist

 "Financiers. like to meet bright men, and have become great factors in the social life of the players. I suppose, for example, that there. are few more in- timate friendships than that existing be tween Charles Schwab, the steel magnate, and MT. Dodson, the actor. Judicious investment in stocks and real estate has made many an actor independent. I know instances where these investments have resulted from the suggestion of business men met in club life.
 During a recent visit of Lulu Chaser to Pittsburg, her native town, she pur- chased the Dr.. Curtis Stone farm of Al acres at stoops Ferry.
 Miss Chaser was born in the house standing on that property. and 1t has been her ambition to own the house. Men and women of the stage are becom- ing more and more thrifty. There IS big colony of them at Elmhurst, in the suburbs of this city, another at New Rochelle, N. T., and still another at Smithtown, l.. l., down near where Mayor Gaynor's summer home is located.

TO FIND
 SUNKEN TREASURE

London, March iai.)-Altfough it is more than century since the Lutine, a British frigate. which had on board bullion to the value of $5,6Oo, GOO, was lost off the Dutch coast, another at tempt is made to find the treasury shlp. She carried ten tons weight of gold and silver, which was being sent by English merchants to support their credit abroad
 The Lutine left Yarmouth Roads on October g, 17ss and went to the bottom of the sea the same night. only one man being saved of all her. crew, and he died before reaching England. Efforts have been made time and again to salve the treasure from the hull. which iss stat ed to lie under 90 feet of sand off the island of vlieland. The National Salvage association Is undertaking the quest. and a special salvage steamer Is to be em- pIoyed.
 The Lutine's bell. which was recov- cred. is used at Lloyds whenever an nvArds,e steamer arrives.

TICKET OF LEAVE"
 THING OF THE PAST

London, March 11.-lSpecial. .)--The tick et-of-leave man will be a ghost of the past after the coming of April l. if the ex-convict chooses to take advantage of the governments offer to bury the tick et-of-leave system.
 For a long time the ticket-of-leave system, working apart from the various unrelated societies for helping discharged .convicts, has stood condemned, and many an ex-conviot has complained that he has been so harried by the system that ne has been unable to keep his work when he has got over the initial difficulty cf finding 1t. ,
 Under the new scheme representatives of charitable societies will be admitted to the convict prisons, where they will be ab}e to make for the fu- ture of convicts who desire help, and to study each case while the man Is in prison.
 On discharge from prison a convict who keeps in touch with the society, and runs straightn' swfll be free absolutely and forever from police supervision. If hes afterwardss misbehaves. 'or in the opinion of the Authorities charged with his care is not sincere in his efforts to abstain. from criminal courses, he may again be brought under the present strict system of the police control.
 A statement issued by the home of flee last night explains that "the es- sence of the new reform is the combi- nation in one hand, and under one di- recting authority of all the influences, whether of force or friendship, which can be used to guide and aid the prisoner on discharge"
