so long, almost led him to attempt to
break into the hut then and there. and
settle matters; but his common
sense told him that the settlement
would almost inevitably be against
him should he attempt it.
He was still entertaining this no.
ton. however, when a luminous idea
occurred to him. Around on the far
side of the hut, the west side, which
looked toward the headlands, was a
good-sized hea9 of fire-wood, which
Philip had rot been able to find
room for ins de the hut. Roscoe had
with. him & flint and steel and a
quantity OF tow. He never Travelled
without the.
With inf ate precartion against
noise he began laying a fire against
the windward wall OF the hut. Squat
ting, with his rifle across his knees
ready to use in Ease Of an emergency,
he methodically whitfield a quantity Of
dry splinters OF Z few of the sticks,
limited them and carefully nursed the
blaze, until, under the rising wind, 1t
grew to the beginning of a fair-sized
confiagration. Then, catching up his
rife, he slipped around the other side
of the hut, crouching down not more
than 20 PAGES away, and waited.
Already the Are was burning finely
and the silhouetted outline Of the hut
was plain against the glow of 1t.
His plan was q good one. The PEG.

along well enough by the bloody
tracks the wounded beast had left.
The last of the twilight was still in
the sky, and half his glances were
directed thither, looking for some
thing which he told himself could not
possibly exist, except in his own
fancy, yet fully expected to see never
theless, the shadow of Cayley's great
wings. And at last he saw it i'm
pending in the lower air, like a brood
ing spirit, just above the tiny square
of light which marked the location OF
the hut; -
Roscoe abandoned his pursuit of the
bear; all thought of it, in fact, was
gone from his mind: but he did not,
as on a former occasion. drop down
prone Upon the ground, his face buried
in his arms; nor did he turn and fee
like one hag-ridden up the beach. He
faltered, 1t is true, and his knees
trembled beneath him, and yet, SLOW
ly and with many pauses he made his
way forward.
He was horribly afraid all the time,
but curiosity was all the while over
towering fear. He vas not more than
200 yards away when Cayley alighted
beside the girl.
At what ne saw then, Roscoe
dropped his rife on the beach, with a
whispered oath, and rubbed his eyes.
The light which difused itself from
the open window of the hut was not
much, but it was enough to reveal the
fact that this great man-bird. this
golden-winged spirit which had kept
him in terror for his own sanity al
these months, was taking OF his wings
and folding them up into a bundle, in
as matter-of-fact a way as If he were
furlinx an umbrella. He stood there
now, just an ordinary human figure
of a man; the very man, in fact, that
he had seen before and would have
killed long ago had it not been for his
over-mastering terror of the thing
with wings.
He presented a fair mark now, and
was in easy range, but Roscoe was too
thoroughly astonished to seize the OPP
portunity, and in a moment it was
gone again. The two figures shrank
into the shadow of the hut, and the
next moment the light disappeared.

He had been supporting her with

had planned for them.
Cayley had his hand upon the bolt
of the great door, whittier he had
sprung when Jeanne's cry had awak-
ened him, before the saving second
thought stayed him and held him
frozen where he was. For perhaps
five seconds he stood there, while the
memory Of the unexplained bullet hole
he had found in the body of the great
bear, and the belated observation that
the fire, which was destroying the hut,
must have been started outside Of 1t,
articulated themselves into a perfect
ly clear perception of Roscoe's plan.
"The other way! The other way!"
he cried, motioning Jeanne back
through the storeroom. Into the
cave. He is waiting for US outside.
That's why he fired the hut. Quick.
We must save all we can"
And so it happened that Roscoe
waited in vain. He saw the blaze he
had kindled reach it's fiery climax,
and then in spite of the icy gale which
was tanning it, die down into an
angry, sullen, smouldering glow. But
no man appeared to furnish a mark
for his waiting rife, and no woman
was delivered d~efenseless. shelterless,
into his british hands.
The failure Of his plan brought
back a moment or two of the old sup
erstitious horror, but his mind was
braced against it now and did not
readily give way. Somehow, the fall
ure must be accountable-humanly ac-
c%ountable.
At last he solved this mystery, too,
partly solved it, at least, for he re-
membered the ice ave back OF the
hut. His first impulse. when he
thought of it, was to attack hem
there and now. to charge ia over the
red hot Goals of the hut and settle
matters onc and for all.
He wal sane enough 10 see that the
advantage would be all against him.
In close quarters he could not do
much with q rifle; and he remember
ed the deadly revolver shooting he
had seen upon the body of the bear.
Also, he would have to go into the
dark, with the freight behind him.
No. 1t wouldn't do. He must wait.
Well, he could afford to wait-much
better than they could.
Reluctantly he rose, tuyned his
broad back to the gale, and began ma
king his laborious way back to the
cave.
1t was high time. His face was
frozen already. The intensity Of the
cold had already rendered his rife
useless, for the whole mechanism Of
the breech was frozen fast. His STRAIT
agem had failed in its ultimate inten-
ton, for nature had laid her great icy
hand upon the board and for the pres
emit declared the game a draw.

A Mooniit Day.

- MooHIlt lay
The midday moon had changed the
sorber purple of the snow to silver.
The snow lay everywhere, save upon
the vertical face of the cliff itself, an
unrent, immaculate mantle over all
his arctic world. The valley, the
hills. the beach and the frozen sea
all lay at peace beneath 1t, as II asleep
or dead.
To Cayley, where he lay, suspended
in midsky. the moonlight cleaning
upon the sensitive fabric Of his
plauss, as it CLEANS upon the faint
ripples on q mill pond in the dead Of
some June night-to Cayley this white,
sleeping, frozen world looked very
far away. He was awning for the
first time since that eternity ago when
he had descended upon the beach be-
side Jeanne to warn her Of the APP
proach Of the bear.
How long ago that was, by the
measure OF hours and days and weeks,
he did not know. He had no data for
an estimate that would be better than
a guess. He remembered how des-
perately they had worked that night.
saving what they could from the burn
ing hut and carrying 1t back into the
cave; remembered with what labor he
and Jeanne had climbed the ice chin
ney to the only shelter that now re-
NAMED to them, the little pilot house
observatory upon the cliff-head; re-
membered the unremitting labor of
uncounted hours while they adjusted
their way of life to the conditions Inn
posed by the calamitous loss of the
hut.
But after that there were lapses of
time which memory did not cover.
During that time he knew the ut
most fury of the arctic winter had
been raging over them, without cessa-
ton. They had been sheltered from
it down in the heart of the great drift
of now which the storm had heaped
about them. But, ever In this security
the shock Of those successive parox-
ysms Of natures titanic rage reached
down and benumbed them, body and
soul.
But at last the rage of the storm
had spent itself and had become still.
The bitterness of the cold relaxed and
became milder. Cayley had felt the
blood stirring In his veins again, the
power Of consecutive thought and the
ambition to live, coming ono more
into his possession. He had gons to
work, feebly and drowsily at first, but
with constantly Increasing energy and
strength, at the task of opening up,
once more, the tunnel through the
drift which the great storm had
CHECKED.
When he had broken through the
outer crust Of the drift. and the white
radiance Of the midday moon shone
into the black tunnel where he had
been working, he stood for q moment
drawing deep breaths and gazing over
the scene which lay beneath his eyes
He FASTENED back into the little pilot
house.
Jeanne was dozing upon a heap OF
bearskins. He reused her with some
diniculty; really waking up had been
a hard matter lately, almost a. hard
as really getting OF to sleep. She
was still drowsy when he led heI
along the tunnel to the cll1-head.

ACTUAL STARVATION.
Facts About Indigestion and Its Re-
lief That Should Interest You.

Although Indigestion and dyspep-
STA are so prevalent, most people do
not thoroughly understand their
cause and cure. There is no reason
why most people should not eat any
thing they desire-if they will only
chew it carefully and thoroughly.
Many actually starve themselves into
sickness through fear of eating every
good looking, good smelling and good
tasting food, because it does not
agree with them.
The best thing to do is to fit your
self to digest any good food.
We believe We can relieve Dyspep-
STA. We are so confident of this fact
that We guarantee and promise to
supply the medicine free of all cost
TO every one VINO will use it, who is
not perfectly satisfied with the re-
suits which it produces. We exact
on promises, and put no one under
any obligation whatever. Surely,
nothing could be fairer We are To-
Gated right here and our reputation
should be sufficient assurance of the
genuineness of our offer.
We want every one troubled with
indigestion or dyspepsia in any form
to come to our store and buy box
of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take
them home and give them q reason
able trial according to directions.
Then, if not satisfied, come to us and
get your money back. They are very
pleasant to take; they aid to soothe
the irritable stomach, to strengthen
and to promote healthy and natural
bowel action, thus leading to perfect
and healthy digestion and assimila-
ton.
A 25c package of Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets furnishes 8 days treatment.
In ordinary cases, this is sufficient to
produce a cure. In more chronic
cases, longer treatment, of course,
is necessary, and depends upon the
severity of the trouble. For such
cases, we have two larger sizes which
sell for soc and $1.00. Remember,
you can obtain Rexall Remedies in
this community only at our store

HOW MANY YEARS AUTOS LAST.
Official Figures of New York State
Throw Interesting Light on
Length of Service.

Uppermost in the minds of many
prospective motorists is the question
of how long an automobile will give
satisfactory service, but there never
has been an authoritative answer and
it was generally supposed that ex-
perience alone would solve the cues
ton.
When the Callan law went into
effect. in New York state, requiring
all motor vehicles to be registered
annually, it rounded up every car in
use, and made a record of it's service.
While this was not the intent of the
law it had that result, and when the
secretary of state gave out the regis
tration figures they furnished con-
crete evidence of the service that
may be expected from reliable cars.
These official figures show that 81
per cent of all the Maxwell cars that
were made in 1905 and registered
in New York were again registered
this year-still in use in their sew
enth year. There were 76S MaxweIls
on the New York records in 1906
and 702 of them were licensed this
year, proving seven years of dura-
bility already established and rea-
sonable likelihood of a much longer
life.
Many of the sixty-six that were
not accounted for in the records were
taken out of the state by owners who
have moved and it would be inter
esting to know how many of the six
ty-six are still on the road.

MAKE AUTOS PASS ROAD TEST.
Maxwell System of Trial and Inspec-
ton is Big Benefit to
Buyers.

No matter how carefully a car is
built it will never give satisfactory
service unless it is properly tested
and tried out in actual road work, -
said Christian PretZ, vice president
of the MaXwellBriscoe Motor COM
pany. Maxwell cars are thoroughly
tested out on the road and are driven
hundreds of miles before they are
sold. No car can pass our rigid tests
unless it is right. They are tested
for power, speed and smoothness of
action, and when they leave the fac
tory they are ready for touring with
out any adjustment.
We do not test our cars on a level
track, but rather on steep hills where
they must overcome the same OBJ
stacles that confront the motorist in
every day travel. Our testers work
in all kinds of weather and over all
kinds of roads. Through rain, snow
and ice, it makes no difference. The
road testing is very complete. All
cars are fitted with a special testing
body, provided with a large tool box
in which each tester carries a full set
of tools.
All adjustments are made on the
road" continued Mr.. PretZ. 1--WE do
not run our cars until they timber
up, and then finish them in the finish
ing room. The testers we employ
are men trained in our factory
men who know the car down to the
very smallest detail. But, even this
is not enough. We must know the
cars are right. After every car has
been tried out by the tester assigned,
it must pass the head tester.
When he is convinced of its pow
er and speed, it is passed on to the
chief inspector, who represents the
sales department. This department
refuses to take car from the manu-
featuring department unless it is
right. When the chief inspector fin
ally o. Ks the car the test body is
then removed, the chassis washed,
wheels taken off, and the car is as
signed to the paint shop, where it
is painted and new wheels, tires and
body are put on.
Though the car looks as if it had
never been on the road, each pur-
chaser has the confidence that his car
has been tested and run until tuned
up to the top notch. Even the access
series and equipment, such as spark
plugs and magnetos that we do not
ourselves make, are tested independ
emily before being assembled. This
kind of insurance is an unwritten
policy to every Maxwell owner"

MIXED His Neighbours Cows.

For number of weeks this winter
George VOLTS cows have acted
strangely; some morning they would
give milk and the next morning they
would give none. George thought
that he would try an experiment, so
he tied small string to the stable
door and every morning that the
string was broken the cows would
give no milk. Getting UP at four or
five a. m. was too late to solve the
mystery, so he set the alarm at two
a. M, got up and went to the barn,
and was surprised to find his nearest
neighbor sitting on stool with a
lantern by his side, deliberately milk
ing his best cow After a chase he
was caught and arrested.-Ossian

THIRTY SHOWS DURING WINTER.
The Total Depth For the Season il
Estimated at SiXty-Five
Inches.

Cedar Falls, Ia, April Judge
Cummins is an authority on weather.
The only difference between him and
Busby and Hoar is that the judge
views the weather afterwards, rather
than making guesses of future con-
ditions. His hindsight is therefore
better than the foresight of the other
fellows. The judge has kept tab on
every snow that has fallen this win
ter. and he states that since the first
day of January this section has been
visited by thirty separate and dis
tinct SHOWS. He estimates the depth
of the snow this winter to have been
81 inches. That is over five feet.
