NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY


 At intervals the rolling shore line | gave way to grim and lofty precipices i the high ranges dropping sheerly of
 into the sea, and here the waves
 broke in great, approaching, shim'
 mering clouds of spray. Beyond ! these many-hued cliffs was the su- 1 prcme Aleutian Range, a wonderful divide of sharp, jagged snow-swepi 1 peaks. There was no sign that man { had gained a foothold here, never q
 village or roof. trapper's hut or a 1 changed since. fin bygone ages, it had 1 raised up from the sea.
 Dorothy was aware as she stood al | the deck railing that few yards ! forward Pete the guide watched the shore line, too. He seemed lost in the breeding mood that it invoked.
 She found herself glancing. from time to time, at his homely, thoughtful face, the broad shoulders hlfnched
 over the railing; and by woman's , secret ways she knew that he was
 deeply and poignantly aware Of her
 presence, also. Suddenly he spoke
 to her and pointed toward the beach.
 Look just to the loft of that big.
 white triangular rock" he told her. Do yon see something moving "
 Instantly she caught a spot of red.
 "Yes--what is it?"
 "A fox. Wen sec lots of 'cm. If you keep your eyes open. wo may see caribou. too--they roam here in enormous herds"
 She moved nearer to him, and he pointed ont things of interest, once he showed her flock of beach geese. lifting tall heads from the shore; often hair-seal rolled up with tho comhcrs, and onco he showed her what he thought 10 be that most rare of marine animals, set otter, play ing in a floating bed Of kelp. Of sea life there was an abundance--. porpoises playing beside the ship, whale blowing far off, once the long dark fin Of haslSing shark, chasing salmon in the mouth of a long, deep ly cut bay. Maybe m get to show you a Kodiak bear, too," Pete told her. ''Then you'll get tho thrill Of your hfo."
 He showed her the high. glittering Pavlof volcano, and her towering sister peak. one of the most sym metrical mountains in the world.
 She felt increasingly glad that Bradford had selected him for the head guide. She saw with pleasure that he was personally immaculate his blond beard trimmed until it was almost distinguished looking, his rough garb we'll kept and clean She had a feeling tlfat, should ono Of tho rolling waves rise up and oynrwhelm inc boat. his would be strong arm to rescue her. Ahe present. how ever. tho seas were comparatively placid, easily rolling, the sky blue overhead. the warm late September sun pouring genially down on the deck.
 q believe we're going to have the best of weather" she told him.
 Pete hositatcd. "I don't like the way tho clouds lie on the hills" he told hdf soberly. Were bound to have good weather for day or two, I should say-lilSely time in plenty to get where were going. Of course no one con tell in these nproarious waters After a few days there's going fo be a change in weather. and what that means, no one knows"
 IT was Pete who later brought fruit To her stateroom, opened iammed and with the finest courtesy put himself at her scryice
 The Warrior rounded the rcnin- sula. then turned northeast along the south shore Of nering Sea. For the first three days the good weather pre- tailed without break, but the morn Ing of the fourth brought a sharper sind. more restless movement Of he whitccaps on the dark waves.
 The fifth morning found the sky i overcast and lowering. and dccid- l ally keen edge to the wind. The wa er had darkened in hue, the tall .liffs frowned from the shore. But .he Warrior progressed steadily. and | II the dawn Of the sixth day dropped l her anchor out from the reefs where ! Inc Jupiter and the Eigten had gone ! Town.
 The landing party was soon ready i 10 discmhark.
