- SOItICs
But that did not happen, and a
sudden instinct that something must
have gone wrong reached her, with al.
most the force of a spoken word.
What is it? What's happened,
Philip" she asked, as she turned.
He did not answer at once. He was
bending eve the hole formed by the
top Of the ice chimney and rather de-
l~iberately replacing the wooden cover
upon 1t. When he did s~traighten up
at last, and she saw his face, she
knew her instinct had not lied to her.
It's rather a queer thing for us to
have forgotten" he said, after all
these weeks when we lived in terror
Of him, and after the last thing he did
to us. But we had forgotten him
Roscoe, you know-and now he has
stolen a march on u.s."
She looked at him in a sort of won.
der.
1T is true,''she said, we had for
gotten. Those days when we lived
in the hut seemed almost as far away
from us up here as the rest of the
world seemed then. ." She made
a little pause there, then reused her
self. What is it that he has done,
Philip"
He has found our stores down be-
low here. He has taken everything
made a perfectly clean sweep"
There was a little silence after that.
Before she spoke again she came over
to him and kissed him. There was a
grave sort Of smile on her face when
she said:
well, is there anything we must
do?"
"Oh, yes" he said. THAT move of
his doesn't end the game. It only be-
gins a new one. Really, l think, the
odds are more in our favor this time
than they were before, only this time
We shall have to move quickly. !
would have followed him up at once,
without coming back here, only I

short.
"Of course" she said, you hadn't
the revolver"
"That wasn't what l wanted;
wanted my wings. Now I've got back
to them must start at once"
She uttered a little cry of protest at
that.
Cant you-can't you wait a little
q few hours? Life has only just be.

told me just now"
He let a moment go by in thought
full silence, before he answered.

be settled now, before another moon

darkness in mine. If l can find him
now, l think I can kill him. Now l..

ing drift Of the king of them all, the
albatross.
So he hung there in midsky, and the
world, white, frozen, immaculate
looked far away. The old, god-like
serenity, untroubled, untrammeled, I'm.
afraid, came back to him. The soul
opened It's gates, up there, lost its
boundaries, and all the spirit of the
sky came in, immense, cold, clear as
the all-pervading ether. This was
Nlryana, though the old Buddhist
adopts who had philosophical about it
had neve conquered the sky, had
never bathed in 1t as Cayley on his
wings was bathing now.
The declining moon sank lower, till
the %refracting ice crystals that filed
the air caught its light slantwise and
danced with 1t so that 1t flickered like
a will-o'the-wisp. The sky deepened
from its bright steel-blue to purple.
The silver light upon the snow faded,
through lavender and lilac, to a pur-
pie of its own, only less deep than that
Of the sky itself. But the stars burned
brighter and brighter, until it almost
seemed they sang;
"Harping in loud and solemn choir
With INEXPENSIVE notes.
The words projected themselves
quite ~unsought into his mind. He
spent a moment or two, wondering
where they came from, and then It
came to him. 1t was a part of two
lines from the Hymn on the Ma
tivity."
Somehow, the thought of Christmas
gave his soul a wrench that brought
1t back into the world again. They
had lost their reckoning Of time, and.
for anything he knew, this might be
Christmas day. Perhaps those stars
were %caroling their Christmas chimes.
Perhaps, down in the world of men,
the windows were hung with holly and
doorways with mlstletoe.
Before his thoughts had advanced
as far as that he was flying down to-
ward the cliff-head. He could only
guess at the length of time that had
elapsed since he left Jeanne, on her
heap of skins, there in the mouth of
the snow tunnel. 1t must have been
an hour or more, for the moon had
been shining when he started, and
now almost the last of its twilight had
died on the horizon.
A sharp of his own delln-
quency in having left her to her own
resources for so long, when she had
so few resources to draw upon, In
creased to a sudden alarm for her
when he made out the black
mouth of the tunnel and saw that
there was no light at the farther end
1t. She couldn't have been waiting
all this time, out in the cold; and yet
