 Ivan's attitude was at first uncom promising opposition, Dorothy,
 that's ridiculous" he told her. "I
 won't hear of fl! A long, dangerous
 trip for nothing"
 She turned 10 him in ama2ement,
 vaguely offended rather than pleased at this solcitnde for her. The look of his face bafflcd her; the idea had
 evidently moved him much more pro- foundly than the occasion seemed 10 justify. He not only looked intent
 and determined. but almost desperate;
 there was quick flash Of a startled ligbt in his eyes that sho had never
 seen before.
 She was not pleased at his pro-
 priotary mir, and she showed it.
 He saw instantly that nothing was to be gained by violent opposition.

 light. Let's talk this matter over sensiblN" he urged. l can imagine how you feol-that you don't like to think Of his poor remains lying out there on that lonely. rocky. desolate beach. But Dorothy, remember he left note asking for immediate burial--it was not his wish 10 be sent home. He was buried dcccntly- embalmed, the ship captain wired TRYufIFH difficulty of the trip.

Two just learned that after great cost and many delays they have returned with out finding the grave. They ex- plaincd that they couldn't get hold Of any of the ships crew that had buried f.. and they say that the country Is simply immense"
 And they're right in that" Ivan observed.
 The work needs inc presence and supervision of some one who is really interested" the girl went on. I'm not sorry they didn't find ft. Since ' wrote the letter I've decided t was my place and duty fo sec about this persOuaily--to sec that it's done right ali the way through.
