his ill temper, at least of its betrayal "I could
do with some more. Mpishi lete chai pesi
pesi," he called out to the cook; then his re-
sentiment hared again as Byheld seconded the
order heartily with his own repetition of the
command.
Making camp here?" Nick asked.
Eyes. We can make the ferry easily now
by tomorrow shutdown"
1.-The ferry? What's the idea? What are
you going to do abut the tusks? Do you ex-
pect to hide them?"
1.-The tusks?" Maj Byfield was staring
steadily at him, his gray eyes expressionless
They were eyes that, in their guarded concen-
tration, gave no hint of what was going on
behind them When he spoke his voice was
almost sympathetic.
Don't you know the tusks are gomez"
It seemed to be conversation in which they
stood and echoed each other.
Nick said "Gone?" after him in stupid be-
wilderment
I'm the canoe. They went over with you
didn't you know"
Nick just stood there his hands twitching.
Then he blurted harshly: They were not in
the canoe"
STEADY on there! saw them put in my
self dare say the bags were over them
before you got down.
"But-but why didn't you tell me?"
Thought you knew. The men did-the
ones that loaded. You could have seen If you'd
looked"
Nick's ears took it in And he could not
gainsay the man. But something in him was
curiouSly unconvinced.
The tusks gone? The great points they had
brought from the forest-that he'd risked his
neck to gain-the ivory that was to make life
supportable once more-gone like dream?
"You take it bloody easy" he shot out
Byf1eld gave him hard look. "What else
can I do? I'm not mewling like baby-but
I'm not any too pleased, if you want to know.
Do you want me to curse you for topping over
the canoe like a greenhorn? I'd rather not
say things I'd be sorry for
That was unnatural Nick felt It wasn't in
the man to take things so decently-or was
it? Perhaps Nick was doing him sour in
justice. But he had deep, persistent feeling
that this companion OF his would have had
other things to say, if the tusks were really
lost. But perhaps he had said them to him.
self in the night Byf1eld had had time to get
his second wind
Nick was too hard hit to be fairminded He
was tired and hungry and dazed with the
shock.
All their hope gone for nothing. Those great
tuSks-
He couldn't feel them gone That was the
queer thing about it.
ANY chance of getting them up?" he thought
to ask.
The major laughed with that current?
OF course we might send back to the Army
and Navy stores and get graphing hook sent
out! No, my lad, what's done is done and no
use wasting tears. We let our luck slip
through our fingers. We might as well be men
about it."
He was positively genial in his. heartening.
Almost relieved he seemed, that Nick had &C
cepted the fact. Why didn't he suggest turn

floating logs that might materialize into crocs
he stepped down into the water.
Once in, the difficulties of swimming and
maintaining any sort of balance of that head
load kept his thoughts on the work cut out for
him, and the current was SO fierce that with
all his efforts he had to make a long diagonal
to gain the other shore.
Finally over, he strobe hurriedly back along
the river, shouting as soon as he neared the
place; then, getting no answer, he turned in
land on the trail.
In 10 minutes he had found the camping
place; there was the trampled grass, the leveled
spot where Byfeld's tent had stood, the holes
for the tent pegs. There were the porterS'
grass huts, the cold ashes of dead fires. But
the place was deserted
What did it mean? Evidently Byfield had
got under way before light, meaning to break
fast later
Bewiderment exploded into anger Then he
caught sight of paper pinned to a con-
spicuous tree and read the struggling lines:
Expect you will follow your side of river, but
beans and biscuit buried under this tree, in
case you cross"
reaction of good feeling warmed him as
he dug up and into the beans Byfield was a
good fellow, after all-he hadn't forgotten to
put out some grub, on the off chance. But
why should he think Nick would follow his
side of the river?
Ravenously he ate; then he got up to- fol-
low the trail that headed north along the
river. He wondered at its observation-disclosures
the guarded crossing. Perhaps the major
meant to keep the tusks under cover and try
getting them over in the night under the noses
OF the native guard-perhapS he meant to
bride the guard. Wel-Byfield was resource
full Nicky had no better plan to offer, but
the risks of this one filled him with squirming
qualmS.
He had expected to catch up with the safari
in an hour or two at least, but they must have
been keeping up smart pace, for he saw no
signs OF them. Sometimes he missed the trail
altogether, and he wasted time in getting on
the right track again.
Midday-and he had not caught up with
them! The heat was choking; the sweat ran
blindly down into his eyes; his khaki shirt
chung darkly to him.
ORDINARILY he was mild-natured chap,
but he tramped the last hours in sullen
anger and his gorge was high when he mounted
rise and caught at last, through the CULVER
ing rays of heat, glimpse of dark-skinned
men against the green. Making camp they
were-there was tent up. And there was
Byfield looking on.
He strobe forward and the major turned his
voice booming out geniay:
"Nick-you old beggar! Never thought you'd
cross How'd you make it-swim?"
What did you think I'd do?" Nick snapped
back his sense of resentment getting the upper
hand.
why follow your side of the river to the
ferry"
And live on what-water?"
Must be villages-natives somewhere. But
this is fine. Did you get the beans?" s.'""

LAKE CARGO COAL
RATE IS EFFECTIVE.
Interstate Commerce Com
mission Fails to Take Action
in Freight Controversy.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Under a previous arrangement the
compromise schedules Of railroad rates
designed to bring about a temporary
settlement of the lake cargo coal rate
controversy became effective last mid
night.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
yesterday failed to take any action on
the subject, although it had before it
protests from coal operators of the
Pittsburgh district and Ohio. A hand
also was taken in the matter by both
Northern and Southern railroad lines
interested, but the commission took no
, action and no statement, opinion or
memorandum was issued.
The rates which now apply to coal
shipped for tranSShipment over the
Great Lakes from mines in all the i'm
portant Eastern producing territories
are based on the plan of giving the
Pittsburgh and Ohio producers a 35-
cent per ton differential below like rates
from West Virginia, Kentucky, TenneS-
see and Virginia.
The compromise on this differential
was worked out by the traffic officers of
the roads after alternate cuts to North
ern and Southern schedules had brought
the carriers to the brink of rate war
and after the commissions authority in
the matter had been questioned in the
Federal courts.
An injunction, now under appeal to
the Supreme Court, was issued to re-
strain the commission from preventing
a voluntary cut by the Southern lines,
and the Northern carriers twice cut
schedules i'll an endeavor to hold the
traffic to their lines and mines in their

SLUMP IS SHOWN
IN alaska MINES
Gold Production in General
Takes Spurt, However,
Department Says.

Preliminary figures from the Geo.
logical Survey indicate that Alaska's
mines in 1928 produced minerals valued
at $14, 4,128,O0O, compared with $14,404,-
600 in 1927. This announcement, made
today at the Interior Department,
pointed out that gold production took a
big squirt in the past year despite the
general slump in the Territory. Coal
production reached its highest peak.
Production of gold from lode mines
went into the lead over that from placer
mines for the first time. This increase
was attributed to the added output
from properties of the Alaska Juneau
Gold Mining Co. in Southeastern Alaska.
The department said that no new finds
of placer ground we're made during the
year that yielded any considerable
amount of gold adding that there still
remain large placer reserves that could
undoubtedly be worked by companies
having adequate capital and skilled en-
gineering aid.
Estimated figures for 1928 production
were announced as follows: Gold, So
IT'S, 900; copper, $6,100,000: silver. $273,-
900; coal, $624,000, and other minerals
dead, petroleum, marble, tin, platinum,
ect.), $356,000. These figures compared
with those for 1927, as follows: Gold,
S., ,927 900; copper, $7,25O,OOO; silver,
$356,000: coal, $548,000, and other min
erals, $323,000.
Copper production continued the
downward trend it started in 1923, the
department said, and unless new de-
posits are found still further decrease
in copper output from Alaska is inevi-
table AS more than three-quarters of
the silver has come from copper ores,

Shrouded by Mists,
Greets Infant Year
PyrOtechnic Welcome on
MountainP artly yObscured
for First Time i'm History
By the Associated Press.

~ the f1SSUCldleQ FEeSS.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, jan
uary 1.-Despite heavy mist that en-
Shrouded this valley early today, lights
OF the Adaman Clubs pyrotechnic dis
play at the summit of Pixies Peak broke
through the clouds intermittently to
announce welcome to the new year.
1t was the first time in the history of
the clubs annual climb that the spec
tacle could not be seen plainly from
here and by surrounding towns.
The Adaman Club members make an
annual pilgrimage to the summit of
Pixies Peak to welcome the new year
with fireworks. Fourteen members
started the climb Sunday morning, and
as far as is known all but one reached
the top, after fighting zero weather and
Snowdrifts from the timber line. The
hearty mixers left timber line early yes
terday morning and foot by foot worked
their way to the top of the peak that
in Winter challenges the best of climb
ers. One member was forced by eX-
haustion to turn back after passing the
timber line.
For a time, after nothing had been
heard from the climbers, it seemed that
the elements had defeated their valiant
attempt to celebrate the new year at
the summit of the peak. Then Jacob
RoeSer, ST., director of the Rocky
Mountain experiment station at the
summit of Mount Manitou, flashed the
word that he had seen the overhanging
clouds above the peak fringed with light
as members of the club set a powerful
flare in memory of Roald Amundsen,
the polar explorer, who was an honor
ary member of the club. Now and then
a rocket pierced the cloud canopy and
burst into brilliance, but for the greater
part of the display only subdued light
could be seen overhanging the summit
of the blackened peak. Once an italian
star shell, imported from Italy, was To-
Gated embedded in a gray cloud, only
to sputter and die out in the blackness
of the night.
The Adaman members were expected
to start their descent along the cog
road today.
