hoped to do. and ready to illustrate IT..
could have been SO terrifying to Philip
as the thing he actually saw, which
was-nothing. At least, so far as a
first glance into the cave would re-
veal, his enemy was not there.
Cayley shuddered, not with fear,
and yet with sensation stronger
than disgust. 1t was as II leopard
had been standing over the deserted
lair of a hyena A wild beasts lair
1t was and not human habitation.
The floor was Uttered with feathers
and halfgnawed bones. The rocky
walls dripped with oil SCOT of his hor-
rible cooking. The foul air of the
place was actually iridescent. But
the real horror of it lay in the fact
that Roscoe was not there.
Cayley's reasoning faculties attack
ed that blind, irrational horror with
all their force. From the condition of
the fire it was evident that Roscoe
had been gone several hours II was
soon. Cayley's arrival in his absence
really gave him an immense adyant-
age. A man always comes rnwarily
into the place he calls home. If Ros-
coe came back now he would have no
chance at all against Cayley's quick
spring and the flash of the long knife
blade.
Certainly 1t was reasonable to ex-
pect that Roscoe would wait for an
other moonrise before setting out on
any serious sort OF expedition, and, IL
that assumption were correct, he
might be returning to the cave at any
moment
He strobe abruptly back TO the cave
mouth As he did so, however, his
eye alighted on something that made
him something so strangely
out of keeping with its surroundings
| that il caused him-or he thought that
was the reason--a sense OF recogni-
ton. almost of familiarity.
The thing which so evidently did
not belong to Roscoe that 1t seemed
almost to belong to Philip himself,
was a gold locket. 1t lay on fiat bit

GOES purpose as table. The objects

was armed with heavy revolver, was

She was in a place, the only avenue
OF access to which would give her a
tremendous advantage over any in

worst--supposing that Roscoe's alb
sence we're taken to mean that he had
gone TO make an attack on the pilot
house, there could hardly be a doubt
that Jeanne would kill him.
His reasoning was all based on the
assumption that the pilot house was
inaccessible 10 any wingless creature
except by way of the ice chimney.
Even now. when his fear for the girl
was amounting to superstition of al
most irresistible intensity, 1t did not
occur to him to question that
He steadIed himself as best he could
and crouched down in the shelter of
the big rock to await Roscoe's return.
He had hardly settled himself here
when he saw something that made
him shake his head impatiently, and
swear a little. 1t was the winking
glow Of an aurora borealis. OF to the
north.
Cayley gazed at the spectacle unwill-

how. though he fought the feeling des-
perately, 1t began to assume a per-
sonal significance to nina signifi-
canoe of mockery. The whole sky was
quivering with vast. silent laughter.

cleverness and daring in finding Roa-

It, was really doing precisely the thing

this Office until his resignation In
