eyes blazing with delirium, Trueftt
recognized in him James Fawn.
Fawn knew him, but only as a de
lirious man half recognizes q compan
ion Of old time. From his disjointed
utterances Truefitt learned what had
happened. Fawn had taken a cargo Of
gin to the north to exchange for wal
rus ivory, in the hope of making q
quick fortune. He had been the de
struction Of the settlement and had
nearly killed himself during the LONG
months after he had Abandoned hope
Of rescue. And round about his hut
was heaped the ivory that had been
gathered for him by the native hunt
ers.
For two days Truefitt attended
Fawn, until the light Of reason came
back into his eyes. On the third morn
ing Truefitt told him of Mabel's pres.
ence on board.
Pull yourself together, man." he
said. ~and she shall never know What
has happened. Be man. Make your.
self worthy Of her"
You speak as II you were interest.
ed in her yourself" sneered Fawn.
Truefitt, without replying. began to
pack the sleigh. But before he had
completed this task he saw another
sleigh coming toward them over the
ice. Presently Mabel and q sailor de-
scended.
II couldn't wait; I was so alarmed
when you did not return" she cried
Where is he?"
Truefitt pointed silently into the hut
Mabel went in. When she emerged
half an hour later, there was a grave
look on her face.
I'VE must take him aboard at once
she said.

They had reports of Fawn at last.
He had lost his ship in the pack ice
and was living with a tribe of Eski-
mos twenty miles distant from where
Truefitt's ship lay, already hemmed ia
by the thin ice of early September.
The wreck of Fawn's vessel lay along
shore. 1t had been looted and the re-
port spoke of subsequent mutiny, of
a breakup of discipline and of sailors
who had started southwark in a Wild
attempt to fight their way to civiliza-
ton.
Truefitt left Miss Renton aboard and
started out on his twenty-mile tramp
along the coast until he reached the
friendly village of the Eskimos.
Two women and a dog came out to
meet him. Their speech, so far as
Trueitt could understand it, told of
horrors such as had never come upon
the village before.
Outside the encampment was-a
mound Of empty gin bottles! Eski-
mo graves were scattered every
where. 1t was village of the dead.

CAUSE OF SLEEP UNKNOWN
Various Explanations, but None OF
of Them May Be Set Down as
Absolutely True.

Curious and remarkable are the rea-
sons assigned for the desire to sleep.
1t is attributed by some scientists to
an accumulation in the system of the
poisonous products of the wear and
tear of the body during the day. Sleep
is the period when the nerve cells of
the brain dwell apart from each other.
as it were. The brain is composed Of
millions of tiny bodies, called cells,
each having several delicate branches,
for the purpose of communicating with
other cells.
When the brain ! fully active, all
these cells are in contact, or ready
to be in contact, with one another,
but the time occasionally comes, it is
thought, when the branches of all the
cells curl up, and their isolation means
that complete communication be-
tween the cells ceases. The state of
body and mind that follows is what
we call sleep. The most probable ex.
PLANTATION of sleep, however, is that
in some way or other the internal con.
dition OF the cells is changed partly
from exhaustion and partly because of
diminished stimulation from other
parts of the body.
