At what he saw then, Roscoe
dropped his rifle on the beach. with a

The light which diffused itself from
the open window of the hut was not
much, but Il was enough to reveal the
fact that this great man-bird. this
golden winged spirit which had kept

made his marksmanship somewhat
uncertain. He fired too soon, and
though he did not miss. the only ef-

bear turn about and go shambling
down the glacier toward the beach,
with ungainly haste. Roscoe hurried
after him. and fired two more shots.
Whether they hit or not, he could not
tell Certainly they did not serve TO
check the bears flight. The next mo-
ment he had rounded the corner OF
the cliff and disappeared down the

on the day of this discovery. he found
that his accustomed path was inter

broad to leap across. So he was forced
to descend by the rougher and more
difficult track which lay along the
moraine.
Before he had gone three PAGES
along this track his eye made out
something, just on his patch and a lit
tie below II, which caused him at first

the next moment TO give a wild bias

II occurred to me that he might be

upon them. in spite Of their attempt to
discredit II, was that Roscoe's acqul-

II was time for Cayley to turn in
and for Jeanne to begin her evening
watch alone. but before that happened
they paid an extra amount of atten.

windows.
Il was a little before II o'clock
when Cayley came out of a deep sleep
to find her bending over him. shaking
him by the shoulder and crying out

surprised him greatly. And there
was more than surprise. There was

spoke 10 her. He offered no explana-

hut and make fast the solid wooden

Roscoe had never been able to clear
up his doubt as to Jeanne's identity,
nor to solve the mystery Of Cayley's
appearance In the air. The doubt
and the mystery tormented him worse
than any final conviction could have
done. When he thought. as he some.
times did, that the cause of all his

She did not need to be told that he

beach. sighting along Cayley's arm as
he pointed. Even in the deep twilight
she could already make out the sham

The past weeks had made one diff
ference in her attitude toward Ceyley
which she was now aware of, as she
contrasted her sensations on seeing
Philip step forward, out of the shelter
of the hut, to confront the bear, with
those she had experienced when he
had set out on a similar errand once
before She knew him now. and she
had no fear for him. The feeling
that thrilled her now was nearer akin
10 pride than anything else.
Cayley fully justified her confidence.
The course the bear was taking would
have brought him within 20 yards OF
their doorstep. When he first caught
sight of Cayley he stopped. In two
