door nearest at hand and flung it
open. A dark and empty room. He
pushed the girl inside.
Get out of window and drop into
the snow!" he commanded. "Then
run!"
"You?" Her fingers pulled at his
sleeve.
"Tll comet" he said, shaking her
off. Hurry! Or -. or I'll spank

He shut the door and drew long
breath. From the back stairs, now
halfway up, came another roar. "I'm
coming, and I'm coming a-shooting!"
Hickory Pete Grimble faced the
reality of the situation. He did not
want to die, but the girl must have a
chance. With a little delay before
they began to hunt for her she could
make it. He took fresh grip upon
the doubled rhain. This time they

Alaska Has First
Girl Scout Camp

One might think that camping in
for gold, but the Girl Scouts proved
the contrary when they held their
first camp there this year, according
to the camp report received at the
national Girl Scout headquarters from
Miss Jessie S. Bloom, the director of
the camp.
Along the untrampled picturesque
hillside of Lake Birch sixty miles
from Fairbanks, where the Girl
Scouts live they have pitched tents
and erected a log cabin. The girls
do most of their own cooking out-of-
doors, using the log cabin only in
times of storm. AS they are miles and
miles away from any means of trans
portation, they are obliged to use
canned milk and their meals are
eaten without the luxury of tables and
chairs but sitting on the grass under
the tall trees. In the evenings, they
hold their campfire on the shore of
the lake singing their favorite songs
and playing games before their good
night circle.
Although the camp had but four
teen girls and three councillors, they
participated In many activities.
Among them was boating, country
dancing, exploring, hiking, out-of-door
cooking, games, out-of-door Girl Scout
program activities. fire building. sing
ing and swimming.

JACKIE Prime began to back away,
feeling against the wall for support.
His steps adjusted themselves to
those of the slow descent of Grimble
The men were no more than six or
eight feet apart now. Prime backed
through doorway and never for an
instant did he take his eyes from the
bruised and livid face of Hickory
Pete.
Pete understood now that he was
one come back from the dead. He had
not thought of that before. OF course,
he was dead to them. No one had
ever been known before to go under
Lake Champlain ice, apparently un-
conscious, at night, and come out
alive. He was ghost
The big living-room of the house,
with rude bar made of boards laid
across two barrels, burst upon Pete
with blaze and blare. Jacko Prime
backed into that uproar, deaf to it.

be still more time for the girl
AS troubled waters grow still, so
quiet settled down upon the room
Tink Carlow stood at the bar with a
tumbler of steaming alcohol raised in
his hand. He saw what Jacko saw
and the glass dropped to the floor
with a crash. Johnny Fessette fol-
lowed the gaze of Tink and his
swarthy face blanched to the color of
old paper. He flattened himself
against the wall
nameless but none the less real to
those others blurred by their carous.
Pete knew that his face, cut and
puffed and blackened, was not pleas
ant sight. He swung the chain Clink-
clink through the new stillness Be-
fore the first spell upon them could
break an agonized whisper cut the
silence from the lips of link Carlow!
"My God! He's dead! l saw him
die"
Jacko Prime backed against Win
dow. The touch of the sill against
his back, stopping him, reused him to
frenzy of terror. He whirled in his
tracks and plunged through sash and
glass.
That was the signal. They spewed
themselves out of windows and doors.
A man, very drunk, crawled into one
of the barrels that supported the bar.
Fessette followed JACKIE Carlow, try
ing to push through doorway at the
rear of the room, caromed spinning
from man who came staggering
with a coal oil can in his hand. 1t
was he whom Pete had seen in the
kitchen trying to build a fire
"Whassa matter?" he demanded, of
the maddened room. Got the fire
built"
His words were drowned in a thun-
dering roar. The doorway behind him
filled with sheet of flame and he was
driven forward, Keeling in circles. A
fragment of iron hulrtled across the
living-room Smoke, lighted with a
red glow, belched from the kitchen.
Hickory Pete leaped for the front
door. His role of ghost was ended.
He flung himself toward the roadway,

side. He slackened and stopped
