red hot knives.

She turned from him, mumbling
-"Oh. go-go! 1 don't want you

1t seemed that he was beating
her; his hands thudded on her raw
heart.
They reached the steps. The little
yellow cottage was all in darkness
except for the hall light they left for
her. Chickie leaned against the
post. showing his arm away. She
wished to say thing to him-say 1t
quietly. But her mind was dim;
1t was far from her, sunk in heavy
togs. She leaned at the post,
wondering vaguely IL the kitchen
window was latched; If she could
open it with her tortured hands.
And she turned suddenly, running
along the garden fence to the alley.

III her feet. The night was
0 dark. And she was letting
herself down.
Fer heart hammered like a mad
thing; it pumped terror through
her veins-made her neck tight.
She could hear her own pulses in
their frantic thump-thump. She
looked down at the water and saw
death. And the fear Of it, con-
vulsive and agonized, laid hold on
her. She chung piteously to the
beam. She sent dim, broken cry,

But all things slipped-a wave

the sky and the water from
another world, a murmur-a sud
den, glad sigh. Her lips smiled. All,
death-this was death--complete
and gentle. Holy death-it puts its
chill, kind breath in her mouth.
All at once she was aware of a
frightful pulling and tearing at her
elbows-a dragging at the pit Of her
arms. And she was awake hanging
to the BEAM her feet numb and cold
in the water. Awake, with terror
screaming In her heart; her mind
stark. She didn't know how long
it had been-a lifetime or moment.
But she knew herself and the
thing she had come out here to do.
downward. Oh-the waters! But
they hadn't come about her. She
wondered, whimpering, why this
was-why she hadn't died. Hanging
here, with the darkness closed about
her; hanging here with the wind,
Tapping her hat.
She had an idea that her cling
ing held her. And it hurt-it was
anguish, that straining at her
wrists. She wanted to slide down
Into that water-out-away-
quiet again-that absence of
thought; that sweet hull Of death.
Loose her hands-let go! She tried
to do this. There was no sensation
In the numb fingers. Suddenly she
knew that they were wedsed be-
tween the beam and the plank; they
were damned there. She had
wrapped them so. And the weight Of

release them.
She tried to muscle herself up

hands, tear them loose. She would.
She must. End this ferocity Of
pain.
She couldn't raise herself an

she hung there. Her thought

This seemed madness Of cruelty.
Suddenly she felt on her mouth
the kiss he had given. A wish to
hurt the spot possessed her.
Her body swayed. AS it did, she
had an incisive image Of the beauti-

eyes returning to her. He was sit

pressed his face against the sash,

Like a figure hanging on the cross.
There was an oppressive stiffness
about him when he turned: "Chickie
battle your hands. Put them in
hot water"
"Ho-my hands"
He shuddered: Don't go on like
this. You can't! Chickie. there's
only one thing to do now. Go away
Ill do anything"
She felt an insane laughter tear
ing at her throat. But it made no
sound. 1t ripped things-made the
blood go warmly. in a heavy sick

She said again: "Go-go now"
The dog whined. She gave whis.

her elbows. climb in. The pain. like
a great, cruel hand doubled her.
He saw the ashen misery; saw the

He lifted her gently and he said to
her: "Oh, God-Chickie-"

Many moments. The window closed

Chickie pressed her mouth against

hanging limp. She heard feet going
down the steps-out the alley She
rocked herself, moaning: "God-Oh,
God"
And presently she went into the
bathroom and held her hands under
the hot water. Her teeth drove
through her lips But she half
smiled. She said to herself: "Ho-
my hands,"
She kicked of her shoes and hid
them in the closet-hid her coat
away; going about her room with a
stealthy caution. Jennie was never

 Read is sailing for the States on the steamship Alaska. Lambert is in Kennecott hospital having his frozen feet treated. Taylor's home is in Nc Carthy.
 Read said that the trip was much more difficult than was anticipated and that the mountain was much larger with more blizzards. The sum- init was never visible except when one was standing directly on it. The party saw one of the largest glacial fields in the world outside the Arctic Circle, from the peak, which is only three feet wide on top with perpen- dicular drop.
 The party made it's first climb up a false peak, and from it's summit saw another peak 500 feet higher. They retraced their steps and climbed the second peak, all in the same day. The climbers were greatly weakened by exhaustion and the difficulty in battling with high winds, snow and cold.
