CHAPTER ~.
The Throwinu.Stick.

The Throwing-Stick.
"Oh, l 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.
my DEAR" he said, remember that
Tom is in the party. Unless they find
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

his face grew suddenly serious. and
he looked tntently, curiously, into
hers. my child" ne cried; "it can't
be that you are taking that dream Of
yours seriously. If l 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."
She pressed he" finger tips thought
fully against her eyelids, 81 know
she said, "it's perfectly incredible, IN
Gle Jerry, but it's perfectly true for
all that"
Nonsense! Nonsense!" he said
exp1osively. Don't carry a joke too
far. my dear"
It's anything but joke she said
slowly, land If 1t was a dream-ff
the sky-man, was nothing but vision,
he certainly left me material souve-
mir Of his visit" Then, with nod to-
ward the buffet, she spoke to Mr..
Fanshaw's big negro valet who was
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. 1t was wooden
with fright, and the whites showed all
around the pupils OF his eyes.
mo, Miss jeanne" he said, "Scuse
me. l wouldn't touch dat stick. not
for all de gor and jewels in de world;
not even to oblige him
What's that?" Fanshaw exclaimed,
whirling upon him. What do you
mean? What the devil are you talk
ing about?"

him myself, coming down out of de
sky las night l was out on deck,
suh''
Fanshaw looked quickly from the
negro's face to the girls as If he sus-
pected hoax, but the terror in one
face and the justification in the other
were obviously genuine.
Then he rose and went over to the
buffet, returning to the table with the
oddly-shaped, rudeIy-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 rea-
sonable way of putting it, yes; at
least it slipped out of his belt and l
found it where he had been sitting.
But can you imagine what he used 1t
for?"
ooh, l know what it is, but that
only makes the puzzle all the deeper.
It's an Eskimo throwing stick. They
use it 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 it fit my hand
But l can't figure out how the thing
got aboard the yacht; it wasn't here
yesterday"
"Of course not" she said; my sky
man brought it,"
He ran his fingers through his
bushy gray hair perplexedly. Then he
laid the thing down and seated him
self at the table. "At any rate he
said, I'VE needn't let even a mystery
spoil our breakfast. Come, my dear
you've eaten almost nothing That
omelet deserves better treatment"
Obediently she took up her fork,
but almost Immediately laid it down
again, and he saw her eyes brighten
with tears. "Of course, if there'd been
any news, if there'd been anything to
find, we'd have heard"
Silently heyceached across the table
and patted the hand that lay there on
the white cloth.
oh know l oughtn't to cry" she
said, and l won't; it's your goodness
and kindness to me as much as any
thing else. Ever since he went away
you've been like a father to me, and
Tom, dear old Tom, like a brother

The moment Mr. Fanshaw and
Jeanne emerged upon the deck they
heard the sound of oars beneath them,
and looking over the rail saw one of
the boats in which the shore party
had set out, pulling up alongside the
accommodation ladder. Three men
were in it, two of the crew and Tom
FanshaW.
What news, Tom?" his father
called out anxiously enough to belle
Lis former tranquil manner. Have
you found anything? / hope there's
nothing wrong"
The younger man looked up. He
saw his father, but not the girl.
Nothing wrong" he growled, except
this internal ankle Of mine. I've
sprained it again, and I did 1t just
when" He broke the sentence on
short there, his eye falling at that
moment upon Jeanne.
She paled a little, for she had been
quick to perceive that something he
had been about to tell would not be
told now, or must be told differently.
But she waited until his father, to-
gether with the two sailors, had got
the disabled man up onto the deck
and safely installed in an easy chair.
Then gravely, but steadily, Just as
what, Tom? What clue had they found
just as you had to cGge away?"
''It was very wonderful" he said;
quite ineXplicable. Just as we were
about breaking camp this morning we
saw a man coming toward us across
the ice We thought at first that it
was Hunter, and we were nightly
glad to see him, because he had stray
ed off somewhere and hadn't camped
with u.s. But we soon saw it wasn't
he, wasn't a man anything like him.
He was a queer, slouching, shutting
creature, dressed in skins, and he
came up in hesitating way, as il he
was afraid of us. He couldn't talk
English, nor understand it, apparent

guese, and I tried him in Spanish

he pricked up his ears at it, but he
couldn't understand that either. He
just kept beckoning and repeating two
words
