sitting there and keeping watch
Would you--would you like to read
fathers journal? II you would, I'd
like to have you, after what you said
long ago about the men who risked
and lost their lives trying to reach
the pole. think II you will read
that book, you will understand, in
spite of your wings. And-well. I'd
like to have you understand"
He moved the bull's-eye to another
part of the hut, where the light from
1t would not shine in her eyes, and
would illuminate the pages of the
book she offered him to read, while he
sat, wrapped in her great coat. at the
foot of the bunk.
Once as he passed by her in the
completion of these arrangements, she
withdrew her hand from the bag and
held It out to him. you've been very
good to be-" she said-'T don't mean
by risking your life and plunging down
into that bank of fog when you knew
was in danger A brave man would
do that, ! suppose-some brave men,
any way. But you've been better than
that"
He told her not to talk, but to go to
sleep; and without any more words
ensconced himself at her feet, drew
his legs up under him, tailor-fashion,
and began to read
She saw him close the book at last
and sit there, as she had sat. with it
upon his knees, absorbed. reflective.
Suddenly, he took up the book again,
opened It and referred to the entry on
that last page
He was thinking now, not dreaming.
His mind was on the active present.
Before long he stole look at her.
She met his eyes
I'm glad father told us that the
man was left-handed," she said grave.
ly Because the man who killed Mr..
Hunter was left-handed, too
She had spoken the very thing his
own mind had been cropping for with
out finding and he started and stared
at her. why do you say that?" he
demanded How do you know"
1T was left-handed stick. | took
It up in my left hand and it fitted;
that was when was fetching it out of
the cabin for Uncle Jerry"
Then that was how you knew
hadn't done it?"
NO. didn't need any proof
knew already without that"
"Suppose I had Turned ont IN he
left-handed, too"
Il didn't think of that. But 1t
wouldn't have made any difference to
me. When you really have faith in
anybody it isn't easily shaken not by
mere circumstances, at least"
When you really have faith" he
repeated. Yes, suppose that's So"
He pressed his hands against his tenn
pies. But there isn't too much of
that divine commodity in the world"
There was a long silence.

The man rose from his seat at the

strides, began pacing back and forth

ed him. Her thoughts were keeping
step with his.
There's not much faith in the
world, that's true" she said presently.
And yet, that's not exactly the
worlds fault. When people haven't
anything else to walk by, they have
TO walk by sight" she hesitated a
little there, feeling for the words she
wanted 1T was so easy she went
on at last, ito clear you of the thing
they thought you did yesterday.
Couldn't you give them a chance to
believe the truth about the other
thing too? There must be something
you could reveal about that old charge
that would wash out the stain of it
something that would make Tom see
the falsity of it as clearly as l do"
NO" he said; that was never pos
sible. It's less possible than ever
now"
That involuntary admission told her
much If the thing she suggested
were less possible now than it had been
before, then, somehow or other. the
vindication must have rested in Perry
Hunters hands. But the finality of
his voice and the dumb agony she saw
In his face, as he paced back and
forth beside her, prevented her from
following up the admission, or urging
him any further,
He pulled himself up sharply and
looked at his watch. 1T will be day-
light in two hours now" he said.
when it comes We'll signal to the
yacht and they'll send for you and
take you away-you and this precious
find you've made. In the meantime,
you must go to sleep. You hardly

Il hardly dare go to sleep-not
really deep asleep. If did I'm afraid
you'd turn out to be all dream, aud
I'd find myself back In my stateroom
on the yacht" She was speaking hall
in mockery, but there was an under
tone OF seriousness in her voice
Think how unlikely it is that all this
can have happened" she went on
You said this morning you were go
ing to leave us, and l watched you
go.-How can 1t be anything but 6
dream that you We're hanging alof

that if | go to sleep, I'll wake III

from the bulIs-eye and drew III
sleeves of her coat across his shou,
