CHAPTER ~
ForIorn River.

When Dick opened his eyes flood
Of golden sunshine streamed in at the
open window under which he lay. His
first thought was one of blank wonder
as to where in the world he happened
to be. The room was large, square,
adObewalled. 1t was Uttered with
saddles, harness. blankets. The sight
of huge dusty spurs, gun belt with
sheath and gun, and pair Of leather
chaps bristling with broken cactus
thorns recalled to Dick the cowboys
the ride, Mercedes and the whole
strange adventure that had brought
him there.
He felt a dead weight of complete
lassitude, and he did not want to
move. A sudden pain in his hand
caused him to hold it up. 1t was
black and blue, swollen to almost
twice its normal size, and stiff as n
board The knuckles were skinned
and crusted with dry blood. Dick So
llloqulzed that 1t was the worst-look-

EASY Arithmetic,

Everybody knows that learning the
tens in the multiplication table is as
easy as pie" and that the fives are
not much harder. But slight as is the
mental effort required in multiplying
any number by five it may be lessened
still more by describing the multiplier
entirely and substituting divisor in
stead.
This may sound paradoXical but by
experimenting you will find that divid-
ing by two will bring the same results
as multiplying by five, providing you
add a cipher to the quotient If the dlvi-
dend be an even number, or five If 1t
be odd For instance, II you multiply
2,734 by 5 the product is 1000. What
is still easier, divide 2734 by 2, which
is done almost instantaneously. Then
tack on your 0, and you have 1860.

Fairy Tale
EDDY ESKIMO DOG
6lWARY GRAHAM BONNER
- eonHenT ~ VNTHs Etvs1IJn ut..o.

"Tve been asked to tell my story"
said Eddy Eskimo Dog. "And will
do the best l can"
Some one has asked for it, believe,
and some one else Is going to put it in
to words that people can understand.
II don't know that have much of
a story to tell, but l have had grand
fathers and grandmOthers who could
have told stories that were wonder
full and Embarrassing and all other ex-
citing things that stories often can be.
you see, the days when my grand
fathers and granGmothers were about
were a good number of days agO-in
fact l should say years ago.
I'm the first place l am called the
Eskimo dog. l look a little bit like
II wolf, I'm told. But I'm not wolf,
oh no!
MY name doesn't mean anything
as far as l am concerned. l am not
responsible for my name.
Nov when l say that please do not
think that l am ashamed of my name.
Indeed l am not. l simply do not
want to receive credit where l should
not receive credit. 1t is the work of
my grandfathers and my grandmothers
that has given me this name.
Ear, far far up North there are
some people known as the EsQuimaux.
ooh, they live very, very far away
from where you, who are now read
ing my story, live.
But my grandparents lived far, far,
far North. They even did more than

you an the girl ought to come with US.
We know people who'll take care Of
the senorita till your friend can come
for her."
Dick warmly spoke his gratefulness,
and, inexpressibly relieved and happy
for Mercedes, he went toward the
clump of cactus where he had left
her. She stood erect, waiting, and,
dark as it was, he could tell she had
lost the terror which had so shaken
her
He led her into the road up to the
cowboys, who now stood bareheaded
IN the starlight. They seemed shy,
and Lash was silent while Ladd made
embarrassed, unintelliglble reply to
Mercedes thanks.
There were five horses-two saddled
two packed and the remaining one
carried only blanket. Ladd short
ened the STRIPS on his mount, and

were slipped, securely tied and hidden
in a mesquite clump. Ladd strapped
blanket around one of the horses.
His next move was to take off his
chaps.
"Gale, you're wearin' boots, an by
liftin' your feet you can beat the cac-
tus," he whispered. "But the-the-
Miss Castaneda, she'll be torn all to
pieces unless she puts these on
Please tell her-an' hurry"
Dick took the chaps, and, going up
to Mercedes, he explained the situa-
ton. She laughed, evidently at his
embarrassed earnestness, and slipped
out of the saddle.
y "Senor, chapparejos and I are not
strangers she said
Deity and promptly she equipped
herself, and then Gale helped her into
| the saddle, called to her horse, and
started off. Lash directed Gale to
mount the other saddled horse and
go next.
Dick had not ridden hundred
yards behind the trotting leaders be-
fore he had sundry painful encoun-
| tiers with reaching cactus arms. The
horse missed these by narrow mar
gin. Dicks knees appeared to be In
line, and it became necessary for him
to lift them high and let his boots
take the onslaught of the spikes.
Ladd pursued a zigzag course south
ward across the desert, trOtting down
the aisles, cantering in wide bare
patches, walking through the clumps
Of cacti. Gale became chilled to the
bone and his clothes were damp and
cold. His knees smarted from the
wounds of the poisoned thorns, and
his right hand was either swollen
stiff or too numb to move Moreover,
he was firing. Mercedes must be made
of steel, he thought, to stand all that
she had been subjected to and yet
when the stars were paling and dawn
perhaps not far away, stay In the
saddle.
SO Dick Gale rode on, brewster for
each mile, and more and more giving
the horse a choice Of ground. Once
when he, thinking to fight his weari-
ness, raised his head, he saw that one
of the horses In the lead was riderless
Ladd was carrying Mercedes.
1t seemed that hours passed, though
he knew only little time had elapsed
when once more he threw off the spell
Of WEAKNESS He heard a dog bark
Tall trees lined the open lane dowr
which he was riding. Presently in the
gray gloom he saw low, square houses
with fiat roofs. Ladd rode on fol-
perhaps a quarter of a mile, though
it seemed Unfortunately long to Dick

that. They went as far North as
ever people went.
"They went with a famous person
known as Admiral Peary. Oh, how
far up they went.
would you like to know what they
went for? 1 will tell you!
They went in search of the North
Pole. Now my grandparents thought
that they were going to find a pole at
some very northern place.
"They said when they reached that
pole they would turn around and come
back. They imagined that they would
have a little celebration after they
finally reached the pole.
Their idea was that perhaps they
would all have a special supper up
there and that they would all look up
at the pole and they would bark while
the people would say:
"Most noble Pole how glad we are
to see you. We almost thought we
would freeze before we saw you. In
odd things have been frozen.
"'And even more than that.
"'All sorts of troubles have been
gone through with for your sake,
Great Wooden Pole.
1--WE have almost starved for you,
we have shivered for you. we have
longed for you, we have almost given
up hope for you. But now we have
found you.
THAT was what my grandparents
imagined would be said.
"Then they thought that the pole
which they fancied would be very,
very enormous would not say ANYTHING
because 1t would be too wooden to
have any feelings.
"But they fanced there would some
how be a look Of dignity about the
pole.
And do you know trIat there
wasn't any pole there all the time?
No! Not a pole!
"The people had been speaking Of
| point very, very far north. And they
had called IT the North Pole.
And they had gone in search of
This point Just for that they had
dragged people through the snow.

were little disappointed when thew

and fiat like the others, but so long
he could not see the farther end, stood
up blacker than the trees. AS he dis
mounted, cramped and sore, he could
scarcely stand. Lash came alongside.
He spoke, and someone with a big.
hearty voice replied to him. Then it
seemed to Dick that he was led into
blackness like pitch, where, presently,
he felt blankets thrown on him, and
then his drowsy faculties faded.

helped Mercedes up into the saddle.
From the way she settled herself and
took the few FESTIVE prances Of the
mettlesome horse Gale judged that
she could ride. Lash urged Gale to
take his horse. But this Gale refused
to do.
"Ill walk" he said. '1'm used to
walking. l know cowboys are not"
Once started with protection assured
for the girl and a real objective point
in view, Gale relaxed from the tense
strain he had been laboring under
How glad he would have been to ac-
quaint ThOrne with their good for
tune! Later, of course, there would
be some way to get word to the cav
alryman. But till then what tor
ments his friend would suffer!
1t seemed to Dick that very long
time had elapsed since he stepped off
the train; and one by one he went
over every detail of incident which
had occurred between that arrival and
the present moment His meeting
with Thorne; the wonderful black
eyes of a Spanish girl; her appeal to
him; the hate inspired by Rojas, and
the rush, the blow, the action sight
of ThOrne and Mercedes hurrying
safely away; the girls hands pressing
his to her heaving breast; the sweet
fire of her kiss; the fact Of her being
alone with him. dependent upon him
all these things Gale turned over and
over in his mind, only to fail of any
definite conclusion as to which had
affected him so remarkably or to tell
what had really happened to him.
Had he fallen in love with Thorne's
sweetheart? The idea came in flash.
Was he, all in an instant, and by one
of those incOmprehenSible reversals of
character, jealous Of his friend? Dick
was almost afraid to look up at Mer-
cedes Still he forced himself to do
so. and as 1t CHANGED Mercedes was
looking down at him. With q quick,
graceful impulsiveness she put her
hand upon his shoulder Like her APP
pearance the action was new, strange,
striking to Gale; but it brought home
suddenly to him the nature Of graft
tude and affection in girl of her
blood. 1t was sweet and sisterly He
knew then that he had not fallen in
love with her. The feeling that was
! akin to jealousy seemed to be of the
beautiful something for which Mer.
cedes stood in ThOrne's life. Gale
then grasped the be~llderng posi-
bilities, the infinite wonder of what
n girl could mean to man.
The desert began to tighten Gray
openings in the border Of shrubby
growths changed to paler hue. In the
east n white glow grew brighter and
brighter, reaching up to line OF

"Senor, | am cold" said Mercedes.
Dick had been carrying his coat
upon his arm. He stopped the horse
and raised the coat up, and helped
Mercedes put 1t on.
