his face grew suddenly serious. and
he looked intently. curiously. into
hers. My child!" he cried: cit can't
be that you are taking that dream Of
yours seriously. II thought that,
would have to believe that this queer
arctic climate was doing strange
things with those nimble wits Of
yours. A man alighting on the Ice
foe. out Of mid air. and telling you
that he had Just dropped In from Point
Barrow: it's like the flight from the
moon Of Cyrano de Bergerac."

Nonsense! Nonsense!" he said
explosively. Don't carry Joke too

ITS anything but q joke" she said
slowly. "and II Il was Q dream-if

mir of his visit" Then. with a nod to.
ward the buffet. she spoke to Mr..

serving their breakfast: Hand Mr..
Fanshaw that queer looking stick.
Sam, the one on the buffet. Why
why. what's the matter?" For she had
lifted her eyes to the mans face as
she finished speaking. It was wooden
with fright. and the whites showed all

"oh, suppose" said Jeanne.
there's no use worrying"
Across the table from where she sat
at breakfast in the snug, warm. lux
urious little dining room on the yacht,
old Mr.. Fanshaw methodically laid his
coffee spoon in the saucer beside his
cup. and looked up at her with his
slow. deliberate smile.

Tom Is in the party. Unless they ind
everything that, by the utmost stretch
of hope. they could find. he would in
sist on keeping up the search as long
as the light lasted. and when the light
failed, there would be no more light to
come home by. Don't think Of wor-
rying; I don't. Well hear nothing of
them for hours"
1T won't be as long as that" she
predicted confidently. MY sky.man
will probably bring me news before
then"
Old Mr.. Fanshaw halted his coffee

well out of hearing. we take the
yacht. We may not ind a living soul
aboard her; and we certainly can't
leave one there. But we'll steam up
and take our gold aboard-all our
gold. And then. well-there's where
you'll come in" .-...
But what then, man? My God!
what then? Do you suppose we can
go steaming into San Francisco. or
any other port in the world. with all
that gold in our hull and another cap
tain's log and papers? We might just
as we'll hang ourselves from our own
crow-jack yard"
II hope your wits will improve when
you get deck under your feet" Ros-
coe growled. "On land here you're
about as much good as a pelican In
a foot race. No. your sailing orders
won't be San Francisco, nor any 9TH
er port that has such . thing as .
revenue oficer about. But you ought
to know the north coast line over
there as far east as Mckenzie bay.
You must know some harbor there
where we can lie up for the winter
and not be bothered"
YES" said Planck. Il could take
the yacht to such q place as that

suh."
Fanshaw looked quickly from the
negro's face to the girls as II he BUS
pected a hoax. but the terror in one
face and the mystification in the other
were obviously genuine.
Then he rose and went over to the
buffet. returning to the table with the
oddly-shaped. rudely-whittled stick.
DO you mean to say" he demanded.
looking up at the girl with puzzled
frown-"do you mean to say that he.
the man you dreamed about, made
you a present of this stick?"
She laughed. IF that seems a rea-
sonable way of putting 1t. yes: at
least 1t slipped out Of his belt and l
found 1t where he had been sitting.
But can you imagine what he used 1t
fort"
"Oh. I know what It Is. but that
only makes the puzzle all the deeper.
It's an Eskimo throwing-stick. They
use 1t to shoot darts with. 1t lies
in the palm Of the hand. SO. and the
dart is put in that groove. though the
butt Of this one seems curiously mis-
shapen: ! can't make 1t fit my hand.
But l can't figure out how the thing
got aboard the yacht; It wasn't here
yesterday"
