i'm if he finds and fetches her?
You are Ju-dy's enemy, are you
not?"
Chatterton looked down at the
piquant, passionate face. Since the
Spanish girl had vanished the prev
ious morning, both he and Tony
Buckenham in their separate ways,
had taken up close search for the
whereabouts of Judy. A cold en-
nifty had risen between them which
might at a touch flame into ugly
passion. But as yet, mutual hatred
only smouldered.
They had both searched for the
fisherman who had brought the
massage for Judy. But he and J S
boat had both disappeared. De
Bars ic-for that de Barsac was at
the bottom of the business neither
Chatterton nor Tony doubted
lad probably seen to that. There
was no other clue. Judy's vanish
ment was complete.
Chatterton had been a prey to
stormy emotions. His dominating
ambition urged him to go to Genoa
for the lease of Ezra van "Opens
island which, reason told him, was
ready to fall into his hands. But
he dared not leave San Martina.
He could not abandon the fight for
Judy to Buckenham and Leon de
Barsac. So, all day, he had sought,
without daring to make the disap-
pearance of Judy public. But he
had found no trace. He did not
even know whether she had gone
willingly or otherwise to de
Barsac.
"Tell me. You are Ju-dy's en-
emy?" demanded Panchita again.
John Chatterton smiled little
wistfully. He was beginning dimly
to, understand. This little passion
flower of a girl was in love with
young Buckenham and had been
on the point, in her Castilian way,
of throwing herself over the cliff
because her infatuation was hope
less. And, almost certainly, she
knew where Judy was.

Chatterton said, very quietly. 81

When San Martina, in the hollow
of the two headlands came into
view, Panchita turned aside from
the palazza where it glimmered in
its net of greenery. She took in
stead path which led to the grassy
slope of one of the promontories
where it rose half a thousand feet
above the blue-satin sea below. On
the warm grass she sat down and
tore a leaf from a small notebook.
Then with the stub of little PEN
ell she began to write laboriously
and with exceedingly shaky SPELL
ing:
'TONY, dear one-I have found
out where Leon is keeping hold of
Judy. 1t is in the little village of
Tagliari in a house with cypress
trees. 1t is two hours journee
acros the iland. You go fetch her
Tony, and she come with you and
marry you. She tell me that.
''Tony, dearest one, | am tired
of life. Without you it is what
you call all rot. Poor little Pam
chita met you and found love to
late. Julia she will burn the can
dels for me and keep the money |
have hidden in the silk stockings in
which | first danced in London.
"PANCHITA."
Panchita folded the letter care
fully. She waited patiently with
her eyes upon the lacing of foam
far below her, until a peasant
woman, leading trio of goats, ap-
peared over the brow of the head
land. At the sight of the girls
dress, the woman bobbed a
curtsey.
Take this, quick to the pa
lazza" = Panchita's framentary
Italian baffled the woman for
moment, then she understood. Her
lean fingers clutched eagerly at
the letter and the brooch the girl
offered.
Panchita watched her disappear
down the steep path. She crept
near to the edge of the cliff. 1t
was a sheer precipice and there was
nothing to break her beauty upon
as she fell.
''Tony e will like to see me nice
when they take me from the sea-"
she whispered.
There was ledge a foot or two
down, overgrown with wild vine
and citron. Panchita climbed down
to it and sat in the tangled leaves.
A light Jump and she would be

over. Seabirds were wheeling
whitley far below and from that
height the sea was like a wrinkled
guilt. The warm sun bathed all
her limbs and the fragrance which
she crushed from the plants about
er had a sharper and sweeter
SAVIOR than she ever remembered.
The passionate instincts of beauty
and life which made up Panchita's
soul marked all of them.
"Yet | must CO." she murmured.
without Tony it is all withered."
She braced her body easily for
the leap, closing her eyes. In the
moment that she did so something
caught her shoulder and held her
in firm grip. On the creeper-
clad ledge a heavy figure dropped.
"This won't do, Miss Consoles"
a deep voice said quietly. "You
might easily have gone over"
1t was John Chatterton. He held
her firmly yet gently.
"You no business to interfere"
Panchita whispered, fluttering like
a bird in his grasp. ''Let me go,
Senior Chatterton."
Chatterton held her in silence as
though waiting for her to exhaust
herself. Then, as her struggles to
free herself grew .feebler, he spoke.
"Life's a confoundedly hard
rock, little girl-sometimes," he
said. ''But we've none of us tie
right to anticipate falling off it
Unless | was mistaken. Perhaps
you came down here to gather
flowers"
He smiled rare smile that was
both strong and plying. Panchita
felt herself compelled to lift her
trembling glance to his softened
face.

a catch of terror in her voice. 81
will not pretend. All, you should
have let me go. You have spoiled
everything. Tony, e will laugh
at me. And Judy"
She stopped and stared with
moisture-filled eyes out to sea.
Though she was not looking at the
man by her side, she felt the
change pass over him at her words.

Panehita drew a deep and won.

crept spark of unbelieving hope.
'You YER strong and ver' sure"
she murmured. "And Tony e not

Panchita's alabaster face colored.
"For i'm | would kill myself

John Chatterton touched the

reverently.

said.
Panchita rose unsteadily. With
a shudder she turned from the blue
gulf below, and climbed lightly to
the cliff level. She looked up to
John Chatterton, where he stood
by her side with a quiet light on his
tanned face. A soft Taught left her

Immediately to Genoa for the lease

II was true. The house among
the expresses was filling with
shadows and the opal sky outside
was fading. The friars were shuf-
fling back from vespers in the
monastery and the lights began to
twinkle in the village. The door
opened. and the old woman Gus
todian came in to light, in utter sill
ence, the medieval silver lamps.
Very reluctantly Panchita realized
that it would be folly to try and
find her way back across the island
that night. She must wait until
morning. 1t did not matter. Moth
ing mattered in her numb and ach-
ing heart. And never would she
understand this strange English
girl whom she both loved and
hated
She slept in a gloomy and lower
ing bedroom, chequered with moon
light and black cypress shadows
that night, and watched the dawn
come a little YEARLY.
Before Judy was awake, the
black-eyed peasant-boy who had
trudged into the village the night
before, was over the crest of the
hill and on the mountain-road be-
yond.
Panchita found her own clothes
beneath the big stone in the disused
marble-ouarry where she had hid
den them. She turned her set face
and slow s+aps toward the gobule
of blue which was the distant bay
of San MARITIME, after lunching
frugally on fruit and olives by
wavsiGc shrine. She said a rev.

parched brown grass for brief
while after she had left the shrine,
before the sun dried them up.

monotony and desolation of the
scene around US, and the effect Of
a waking nightmare was heightened
by the nearly continuous display Of
awesome, fantastic mirages about
the horizon.
Ever since we had gone beyond
sight of Heiberg Land the Eskimos
had been imagining they saw other
land, but | knew they were wrong.
However, l encouraged the fiction,
realizing they would take courage
from the thought that land was in
sight. Three hundred miles from
the Pole we did come in sight of,
but did not explore, a new island,
which named Bradley Island.
The slight encouragement of this
discovery soon wore off, and in
describable hardships continued
taking their toll of body and mind.
Death made an icy clutch at me
when a lead opened the ice under
the igloo where l slept and plunged
me into the sea. Etookishook and
Ahwelah rescued me not an instant
too soon.
Day by day the boys grew more
miserabIy depressed and fright
ened. Their faces became path
etc masks Of agonized fear, and
they moved forward as though each
step were a wound. Eight days
and hundred miles from the Pole
they broke completely under the
torment.
Another storm was brewing that
morning, and as its warning gusts
reached US Ahwelah stopped his
sledge and refused to 20 on.

several miles in extent, where /
planted the flag, was in motion like
the rest of the pack; its drift was
carrying US away from the Pole
even as we established that will-o'-

Long ago, perhaps within few
weeks or days after we left it, that
drifting foe probably was broken

snow upon the deserts dusty face.
After / had made my observa-
tons and completed my data, the
three of US gathered in the igloo
and celebrated with a feast, the
first real stomach-filling meal we
had eaten in many weeks. The
faithful dogs, too, were given a
double feed.
Soon after this repast was the
only waking creature in the camp.
Eskimos and dogs, luxuriating in
the comfort of unwrinkled
paunches, slept in their warm beds
of fur and snow. I was alone in the
center of earth's greatest desert,
a solitude of maddening immensely
and desolation. A vast melancholy
clouded my mind; all the sweetness
of victory turned ashes in my
mouth.
'rYou have hazarded all TO pur-

And / thought, in that dreary
hour, how false and selfish had
been my chase of dream, by com

sacrificing work of scientists who
devoted their toll and risked their
lives so worthily in saving lives,
conquering disease and fighting
evil for the good of humanity.
A fever of Impotence to escape
that frozen hell seized upon me.
The Eskimos awoke, we swiftly
packed the sledges, harnessed the
dogs and set out faces eagerly to-
ward the land we had left, half a
thousand miles away.
