 What on earth does it mean, Jim F' she asked breathlessly. "Cal could tel me nothing last night. Why hasn't the cook returned:'
 "He may never come. Nan"
 "TVhy, Jim?' she gasped.
 "They started to tow us in, and the engine broke down. think the car buretor probably froze. and they were driven before the wind, helpless There's a chance in a thousand that they reached an oyster shanty and found shelter. We'll hope for the best Tn the meantime you and I will have to learn to cook again for few days"
 A few days"' Nan exclaimed.
 "'Yes The bay is frozen Our old guide is a good cook, but he's safe tn harbor ashore. He had too much sense to venture out last night He can't get here now until the ice breaks up"
 Nan accepted the situation with girl 1sh enthusiasm.
 The doctor pronounced the meal bet ter than he had tasted on the trip. Bivens was still in an ugly mood and refused to leave his stateroom or al- low any one but the doctor to enter He was suffering intense pain from his frostbitten fingers and toes and ears and still cherished his grudge against Stuart. He had carefully con cealed from both the doctor and Nan just what had occurred between them on the trip that day.
 On the second morning after the freeze a light dawned on the little mans suIking spirits. During the night the ice softened, and a strong southerly breeze had swept every piece of it to sea.
 It was just o'clock, and Nan was busy humming a song and setting the table for breakfast when Stuart heard the distant drumbeat of a tenders en- zine. The guide was returning from the shore or the lost tender had come. If it were the guide he would proba- bIy bring news of the other men. Stu art called:
 A tender is coming. Nan Don't come on deck until tell you"
 In a moment he came back down the companionway and spoke in quiet tones:
 "It's just as I expected. They arc both dead. The guide found them on the marsh over there, frozen"
 "The marsh you and Cal were on 2" she asked breathIeSsIy.

The Mockery Of the Sun. ~ TUART refused to talk to Nan,
 went abruptly to his stateroom
 V and spent a night of feverish
 dreams. His exhaustion was so acute .restful sleep was impossible. Through the night his mind went over and over the horror of the moment on that marsh when he had looked into the depths of his own soul and seen the flames of hell.
 Between the times of doZing uncon- sciousness, which came at intervals. he wondered what had become of the two men in that disa bled tender. He wait ed with dread the revelation the dawn would bring. He rose with the sun and looked out of his stateroom win dow. The bay was a solid sheet of g1istening ice. The sun was shining from a cIoudless sky, and the great white field sparl1led and flashed like a sea of diamonds.
 He dressed hurriedly. went into the galley, made q fire and called Nan. He rapped gently on the paneled partition which separated their staterOCns. He could hear her low. softly spoken an them.
