Unqualified condemnation Of the
League of Nations, which he said
merely wanted the membership of the

and men-it's two greatest needs

by Senator James E. Watson in an
address to the League of Women

OF Doomsdorf' power Such a course
would not aid Bess. And to Bess he
owed his duty-to aid Bess in every
way he could, was his last dream.
AT first he had had to play the cruel
game for the sake Of Lenore. That
obligation was past now; but it had
never, at its greatest, moved him
with one-half the ardor as this he
bore to Bess. He must not go this
route to freedom, or any other, until
Bess could GO with him. He must
not leave her in Doomsdorf's power.
Doomsoorf watched him approach
in silence. The triumphant gloating
that Ned expected did not come to
pass; evidently their brute master was
in too savage a mood even for this.
Wait where you are he ordered
simply, COR I'll blow your head off.
III be ready for you in a minute"
He bent, and with one motion
jerked Bess to her feet. Then in ST.
lence, still guarding them with his
rifle, he pointed them their way-back
to his cabin on the island.
1t was long and bitter march
across that desolate ice. Except for
share of his pemmican that Dooms-
dorf distributed, for expedience rather
than through any impulse of mercy,
Bess could have hardly lasted.

Her strong little arms responds

Her strong little arms responded to
the embrace and slowly joyously
she drew his face toward hers. Then
kiss me, Ned" she told him, soberly
yet happily, as a child might beg a
kiss at bedtime. Her love for him
welled in her heart. at want you to
kiss me good night"
Slowly, with all the tenderness of
his noble manhood, he pressed his
lips to hers. Good night, Bess,'' he
told her simply. For an instant,
night and cold were forgotten. Good
night, little girl"
Their lips met again, but now they
did not fall away so that he could
speak. There was no need for words.
His arm about her held his lips to
his, and thus they lay, forgetting the
wastes of ice about them for the
moment secure from the cruel forces
that had bounded them so long. The
wind swept by unheard. The fine
snow drifted before it, as if it meant
to cover them and never yield then:
up again. The DINNER stars faced
and vanished into the recessees Of
the sky.
The colds scoufge was impotent
now. The hour was like some dream
Of childhood; calm, wondrous, in
effably sweet. The ghost of happiness
seemed no longer just a shadow For
the moment Bess' fancy believed it
real.
Sleep drifted over Ned Still with
her lips on his, Bess listened till his
slow, quiet breathing told her that
he was no longer conscious. She
waited an instant more, her arms
trembling as she pressed him close
as she could.
Il love you. Ned" she whispered.
whatever I dots all for love of
you"
Then, very softly so as not to waken
him, she slipped out of his embrace
and got to her feet. She started away
straight north-at right angles to
the direction that they had gone be
fore.
