So you believed that part of the
story, too, did your" Tom interrupted.
She did not answer his question at
all. but turned her attention shore
ward again.
moment later she closed her bin
oculars with a snap, and walked
around to the other side of the deck,
where Mr.. Fanshaw, leaning his ell
bows on the rail, was looking out
across the ice-fioe
Well, he asked briskly, as she
came up and laid an affectionate arm
across his shoulder, Il suppose you've
been telling Tom why you did it-why
you made Cayley throw that dart
away, mean; but you'll have to tell
me, too. I can't figure it out. You
had something in mind, I'm sure"
Il haven't been telling Tom," she
said. He doesn't seem in very
reasonable mood this morning But /
did have something in mind. | was
proving that MI Cayley couldn't pos
sibly be the man who had committed
the murder
Il suspected it was that" he said.
It's the stick that proves it really"
she said. You remember how puz-
zled you We're because the end of it
which You held it by wouldn't fit your
hand? / discovered why that was
when you sent me in to get it short
while ago It's lefthanded stick. It
fits the palm of your left hand per-
feetly. You'll find that that is so
when you try it. And Mr.. Cayley is
right-handed."
The old man nodded rather dubi-
ously. "Cayley may be ambidextrous,
for anything you know" he objected.
She had her rejoinder ready; But
this stick, Uncle Jerry, dear, was
made Cor a man who couldn't throw
with his right hand, and Mr. Cayley
can. He did it perfectly easily, and
without suspecting at all why / want
ed him to. Don't you see? Isn't it
clear2"
Its quite clear that the brains of
this expedition are in that pretty
head of yours he said. Yes, l
think you're right" Then, after a
pause, he added, with an enigmatical
look at her: Don't be too hard on
Tom, my dear, because you see the
circumstances are hard enough on
him already"
She made little gesture of i'm
patience. They're not half as hard
on him as they are on Mr. Cayley"

man answered. Take 1t by and

CHAPTER VI.
TOMS Confession.

At intervals during the day those
enigmatical words of Mr.. Fanshaw's
REQUIRED to the girl with the reflection
that they wanted serious thinking
over, at the first convenient oppor-
tunity. But the day wore away and
the opportunity did not appear.
The captain of the yacht-his name
mand of the searching party, but the
first officer. Mr.. Scales. remained on
board. He was in possession of all
the data, though they had not told him
the story of Philip Cayley's' rela-
ton with the murdered man.
1T stands to reason" he said, that
the only party of white men that could
be here would be the survivors of the
Fielding expedition. We know from
the news that young Mr. Fanshaw
brought aboard that there is one such
survivor here. II there were. any
considerable number of them LETT,
able-bodied enough to walk across the
glacier, we could be sure they'd be
here on the shore waiting for US. We
could be certain they would have
made some attempt to signal us as
soon as they sighted us,
IF they weren't white men but In
dians-Chucotes-they'd have been
quite as glad as white men to get
chance to go back with us as FAR as
st. Michaels. And in the third place,
II they were not Chucotes, but some
strange, unknown, murderous band OF
aborigines, there wouldn't have been
even one survivor Of the Fielding ex-
petition
"Of course that's not an absolute
water-tight line Of reasoning, but II
seems to me there is tremendous
probability that it's right, and that
this flying man has lost his wits"
By four o'clock they had decided
that, whether or not the sky-man
story might be true, 1t was high time
to send a relief party ashore to ma
the lost ones.
At five o'clock accordingly, the re-
lief expedition went ashore, and Tom
Fanshaw and the girl were LETT alone
on the yacht
Two hours later, perhaps, after they
had eaten the supper which Jeanne
had concocted In the galley, they sat-
side by side, in their comfortable deck
chairs, gazing out across the lce-noe'
The evening was unusually mild, the
thermometer showing only degree or
two below freezing, and here in the
lee of the deckhouse they hardly
needed their furs.
They had sat there in silence long
while, Toms promise that they would
keep a brisk lookout against a pos
sible attack on the yacht had passed
utterly from both their minds. IL

about them was SO utterly empty as
to make any thought OF such an at
tack seem preposterous.
Finally the girl seemed to rouse her
sell from the train of thought that
mad preoccupied her mind. straighten-
ed up little and turned for q look
INTO her companions face. But this
little movement of her body failed to
rouse him. His eyes did not turn to
meet hers. but remained fixed on the
far horizon.
moment later she stretched out 3
hand and explored for his beneath the
great white bear skin that covered
him, found it and interlocked her fin
gers with his. AT that, he pulled him
self up, with start, and abruptly
withdrew his own from the contact

CHAPTER VII.
The Rosewood Box.

On the girl. Tom Fanshaw's passion
ate. stormy avowal had the effect of
a sort of moral earthquake. 1t left
the ground beneath her feet suddenly
unstable and treacherous; 1t threaten
ed to bring down about her ears the
whole structure of her life. The very
thing she had relied upon for shelter
and security against outside troubles
and dangers, was, on the instant,
fraught with a greater danger than
any of them.
For the first few moments after his
avowal she had felt no emotion other
than that of establishment and in
credulity. Even when he asked her
II she could not marry him, anyway,
though the question revolted her, she
told the truth in saying that she was
not angry.
The anger came later. but it burned
into fame that was all the hotter
foriits hardness in kindling. 1t must
have an outlet somewhere, and as
such, the promenade up and down the
other side of the deck was altogether
insufficient.
The sight of a small boat at the
foot Of the accommodation ladder
seemed to offer something better. So,

What the thing was that reused him
to his present surroundings he never
knew. He was conscious of no sound,
but suddenly he sat erect and stared
about him in amaZement 1t had grown
quite dark. 1t must be two or three
hours since Jeanne had left the chair
beside him and announced that she
was going to take a little walk.
He spoke her name, not loudly at
first, for he thought she must be close
by. But the infinite silent spaces
seemed to absorb the sound of his
voice. There was no sign that any
sentient thing, except his very self.
had heard the words he uttered. Then
he called louder.
The steps were rather difficult to
negotiate, but by using both hands
to supplement his one good foot, he
succeeded in creeping down them. and
then in making his way along the cor
ridor to the girls door.
He knocked family at first; then
louder. and finally cried out her name
again, this time in genuine alarm He
tried the dosr, found that 1t was not
locked, and opening 1t and switching
on light, perceived that the state
room was empty
He heard footsteps crossing the
deck overhead. No, that could not be
Jeanne; it was heavy tread, curl
Gus, shutting tread.
He closed the door behind him.
Then he linped slowly down the cor
ridor toward the foot of the compan-
ionway. The heavy tread was already
descending the stairs.
He turned the corner, stopped short
and gasped. And that was all. There
was no time even for a cry. He had
caught one glimpse of a monstrous
figure clad in skins, huge in bulk.
hairy-faced like gorilla.
And then. the man or beast had.

Turning suddenly to look at her. he
saw that she had buried her face in
her hands and was crying foriornly.
~Oh. am brute" he concluded. ito
have told you about It in this way"
What does the way matter? That's
not what makes II hard. It's loving
you SO much. the way do. and having
to hurt you It's having to lose my
brother-the only brother ever had"
There was a long. miserable silence
after that. Finally he said: Jeanne.
II you do love me as much as that
the way you do. not the way love
you, but love me any way--could you
could you-marry me just the same?
I'd never have any thought In the
world but of making you happy. And
I'd always be there; you could count
on me, you know
DON'T" she interrupted curtly.
Don't talk like that. Tom" She shiv-
cred, and drew away from him with
little movement somewhere near
akin to disgust
He WINGED at II. and Redeemed.
Then, in voice that sounded curious
ly thick to her, curiously unlike his
own, he asked question: "lf had

you how | felt toward you. and asked
you, loving me the way you do, to
marry me just the same, would your

wasn't angry; I'm not now. But
but that was a terrible thing you
asked OF me-"
Would 1t have struck you as hor-
rible," he persisted, IF had asked 1t
a month ago?"
Perhaps not.'1 she answered
thoughtfully. I've changed good
deal in the last month--since we
sailed away from San Francisco and
left the world behind us--our world
and came out into this great white
empty one. don't know why that is.'
Il know" He was speaking with a
sort of brutal intensity that startled
her. 81 know It's not in the last
month you've changed; it's within the
last "a hours; it's since you saw and
fell in love with that murderous lying
brute of a Cayley.'
81 don't know" she said very quiet
ly, whether you're trying to kill the

not, Tom, but unless you're very care
full. you'll succeed in doing 1t. ! don't

you. I'm going to take little walk.
He held himself rlgidly until till she
had disappeared round the end of the
deckhouse. Then he bent over and
buried his face in his hands!

London, April 4.-The real work on
the veto bill, designed to restrict the
powers over legislation Of the house OF
lords, was begun with the opening of
the committee stage in the house of
commons. Every available ticket OF

before and many hundreds who had
hoped to witness the proceedings were
disappointed.
The debate will be long and keen.
Already more than 1000 amendments,
occupying seventy -four printed pages,
have been prepared. They are bound
to result in heated discussions and pro-
