Long Five Days Spent
on Rock by Fisherman

How would you like to spend all Of
five days and nights clinging to a
wavc-beaten rock in the ocean?
That was the recent experience of
Edward Carney, an Alaskan fisher
man. His small boat was wrecked
in storm. but he managed to swim
to rock, the home Of sea gulls and
mussels, jutting out of a storm
tossed sea. While the rock was some
so feet around it was only 8 feet
above high tide. A menu of raw mus
sells and sea gull eggs kept him from
starving. And when the storm had
spent its fury at the end of the fifth
day signals made from his clothing
attracted passing ship which res
cued him.-Pathfinder Magazine.

A rather pretty young wom-
an. exQuisitely gowned, was
ushered in. She appeared very

ferred to stand at Blake's desk.
II am Estelle Hawley, fiancee
Of Gregory Brandeis," she be-
gan. 81 understand Gregory
has been called to appear here
this afternoon. I was afraid
that there are certain things
he may not explain on my
account, but unless you know
the complete truth there may
be suspicion cast upon Gregory
on account Of the wcman's
death" Once again Dale
thought he heard q peculiar
infection on the word referring
to Zelma Shaw.
Gregory had become ir1fatu-

continued. "and foolishly paid

CHAPTER v


Mrs. yelling was q gentle
woman. Robin Dale saw that
the moment she entered Cap
tain Blake's office and walked
with erect. proud posture and
unfaltering steps to q chair be-
side the desk.
She was still q young woman
and exceedingly beautiful; but
there was . distinction between
her aristocratic beauty and the
snowy attractiveness Of zelma
shaw. Mrs. yelling seemed
to be unaware Of her charm
while the Titan Butterfly pro
claimed hers in. every act and
gesture. After all. Zelma Shaw
bartered with hers while Mrs.
Welling's was deemed . sacred
gift.
Dale in 9 fleeing moment
wondered what made men saeri-
flee pure gold for filthy droSS.
1t happened every day and no
one had ever found an accept
able answer. Captain Blake's
first words sent the thought
.a-glimmering.
aDid you write this, Mrs.
WelIinU?n Blake was holding
the tiny card toward her. She
merely glanced at 1t and nod
ded her head.
''In view Of the tragic hap
pening and the circumstances
leading up to it we thought
you might like to make an ex-
planatiOn."
at was rather 4 silly thing
to do and as the woman" -.
she placed Z peculiar emphasis
on that word. "ca1ne to
her end by poison believe you
are entitled 10 an explana-
ton"
She paused for some mo-
ments as though considering
the manner in which to make
her explanation. Dale watched
her closely from where he sat
and marveled at her .self-p6s-
session. She hid every trace Of
Unl1appinesS and bitterness that
this second tragedy in her life
must have been causing her.
And yet her warm, olive skin
and brown eyes, that had q
strange softness about them,
bespoke . woman Of great emo
tionS.
I'm have to 60 back many
months. II had met Miss
Shaw at gatherings ana had
become friends with her. We
