WELL, I see the govern
w ment has another aeronautical
problem on its hands. It's an I'M
unsual sort of difficulty, but rather
serious, too.
1t seems that some small ami
mails less than the size of squirrels
have been putting fear in the hearts
of transport and private pilots out
in the Western states.
These animals are pocket gophers,
who are lovers of the open grass
stretches of landing fields and air.
ports. They burroW shallow run
ways close to the Surface-danger-
Gus runways because they are in
visible. When plane lands, the
wheels often will strike the bumpy
hidden troughs made by the little
gophers, sometimes tipping the ship
up into a noSe-oVer.
Needless to say, bumpy landings
and the possibility of ship hop
ping over on its nose are not con-
ducive to comfortable air travel
So the alert Bureau of Air Com
merce has called in the United
States Biological Survey for some
cooperation, the survey bureau
having had long experience in rid
ding farms and ranches of annoying
rodents.

HUGE SLASH MADE
IN CHARITY DRIVES
80 Solicitations Discour-
aged, Board Tells Kern.

Eighty charity solicitations were
either prevented or discouraged
during 1885, and there were no pro-
fessional charity campaigns of i'm
portance prior to Christmas, the
Charity Solicitation Commission re-
ported to Mayor Kern today. This
is in contrast, the group said, with
conditions two and three years ago
when 20 or more solicitations were
conducted.
The commission, completing its
first year under a city ordinance,
handled so verified applications for
licenses to solicit funds. Twenty-six
were approved, "a of which were
licensed and "a were disapproved.
More than 60 other individuals
and organizations approached the
commission but were discouraged
from starting campaigns.
The commission is headed by
George S. Olive.

Garth shook his head. "You take

the result would have been the same

"But-but you can't get awayl"
Garth's smile hardened. Neither
can they. Now tend to your ankle.
I'm going for meat"
He dressed and crawled out into
the storm. When at last he came back
in, he had brought nearly half of the
caribou meat from the ice cave and
stacked it around the igloo. He had
also set up block of snow-crust to
shape drift of new snow in a GER
tain way.
He unrolled the thawed wolverine
pelt and showed big hank Of cat
gut. With his knife he started to
shape caribou skins for parkas and
trousers. Lilith's eyes frightened.
She softened a length of catgut in
the melted lampfat, and asked for a
needle.
All the remainder of that day of
death and storm, both of them piled

coarse, were strong. BY nightfall
they finished the first caribou-skin
suit-waistlong sock-leggings, and
parka with hood-front fringed with
wolverine fur.
After another meal of broiled
meat, Garth went out and climbed
the lateral moraine to gather a
quantity of caribou moss from be-
tween the snoW-drifts on the wind
swept tundra.
When he returned, Lilith lay
asleep on one of the uncut skins. She
had sunk down, completely tired out.
Garth covered her over, blocked the
roof hole with a chunk of soft snow,
and spread his own skin mat on the
other side of the lamp from the girl.
He lay down on it and snuffed out
the light.

With this assurance, Garth crept
out through the tunnel, showing his
snowshoes ahead of him. Snow had
continued to fall after the wind had
died down. That meant easy track
ing. In the dim starlight, he had to
guess at the covering Of his trail to
the stream channel.
During the night, the last dwindl-
ing flow had choked the channel
with anchor ice, had flooded over
the snow, and frozen solid. Garth
took off his snowshoes and crept
across the glare ice without leaving
any marks.
On the other bank, he plowed a
heavy trail up into the ice tunnel,
and brought from the storage cave

He left the meat atop the moraine,
and started down the tundra as fast
as he could travel by starlight.

Huxby had proved he could shoot

men were nearly as expert. To make
a dash for the carbine would be
equivalent to committing suicide. To
lie quiet would give the killers time
to realize there was no rifle waiting
to meet their attack. The fourth man
might already be circling to creep

the webs of ~Dnlon's ~snowshoes.

CHAPTER X
The Bedeviling

Lilith opened her eyes as Garth
finished his hasty meal of lamp-sear-
meat and fat. He explained about
the plane. Her hands clutched to-
gether till they whitened.
"You-you'n be careful?"
"Never fear. I'll come back to look
out for you. The storm has blown
out Clear sky, and about 10 below
zero. Keep treating your ankle, and
work on your suit
"But-how long?-"
He handed her the knife, but took
the belt-ax. eff I'm not back soon, it
will not be till late afternoon or aft
err dark. They may turn out early,
like myself, to have look at their
plane. In that case, I'll have to hide
out all day."
You'll freeze"
That won smile from him. ''This
is an Eskimo rig. I've sat in one for
hours beside seal hole, at 40 below
zero. Finish your own suit,and crawl
out to enjoy the frost Only, be care
full of that ankle. When outside, keep
close to the igloo, and duck inside if
you see anyone else than myself"
She flung out her hands. ooh, if
only could go along to help! I'm so
afraid he'll find you. All those guns

ed!"

brought the bottom of the flats level
with the thickening skim ice. Long
poles had been set to brace the
wings against the wind gusts.
Garth swung aboard. AS he ex-
pected, all the food had been taken
away. So also had been the breaker
points from the magnetic. Huxby no
doubt had figured that the canoe
builder might repair the floats with
rawhide, and run away with the
three-seater. To balk the engineer,
in turn, Garth helped himself to the
breaker cam.
He jumped back on the bank, and
mushed eastwards along the shore in
the dim grayness. At first, thickets
of alders and willows cut off all
view Of the lake. He did not trouble
to seek an opening until he had COW
cred half mile. There he came to
remembered stretch Of partly open
bank. Though the gray dawn had
grown a little less faint, he peered
for several moments without sight
ing the cabin plane. It seemed as if
it's pontoons must have been sawed
through by the sharp-edged sheet Of
ice, so that the aircraft had founder
ed in deep water.

- stable Across His Shoui1e.s
SGomplete cover. He swung the body
of the constable across his shoulders,
stepped into his snowshoes, and ran
alant downslope.
Every few seconds that passed
without the roar of a rifle behind
him, meant widened margin of
safety. The pursuers must have fail
ed to notice his broken rifle in I'M
der the spruce, or else they thought
he was hiding in the rill channel,
waiting for them to come within
range of the constable's service pis-
toll
Whatever the cause of their delay,
he had gained a long start before
more yells told him they had cut his
trail. At the outburst, Garth eased
off a little on the desperate speed of
his running.
His fast mushing had already COW
cred three-fourths of the distance to
the stream. 1t was now a simple
matter of running on to increase his
handicap over the killers. Only a
little time would be needed to cast
free the cabin plane. AS she drifted
out in the current, the crosS-Wind
would swing her around. Then a
quick run out the water lane, and
the take-off-
Close ahead, he caught sight of
Rilith Ramill. She was sitting on her
nowhoes. Her right foot was drawn
up on her left knee, and she was
rubbing hard at the ankle.
At sight of the limp body on
Garth's shoulders, she started up,
Mortified. ooh, oh, Alan! Isis he
hurt?"
Murdered. And you-G-d!-you
here, all this way from the plane.
Rifle gone They're coming. Get up
go back"
"Coming!" she cried. ''That muir
derer! He'll kill you too! Go on,
Alan. Hurry. I'll follow"
She turned around on her right
foot without a vince or groan, and
bent to slip her moccasins under the
toe thongs of the snowshoes. Deceiv-
ed into thinking her sprain not seri-
Gus, Garth slued around her and ran
on at his best gait. He would get the
body of Constable Dillon aboard the
plane, and mush back for the girl
If she followed even at an ordinary
walking pack, there might yet be
time to get away.
He made the plane in short order
land got the dead policeman to the
cabin by way Of the wing. Leaping
off, he rushed back at top speed to
meet Lilith. He had to go all the way
to where he had left her.
She had slung the snowshoes on

glow. He laid his belt-ax on a
hind quarter of caribou, and smiled
at her in the growing light Of the
wick.
"Chop off a shank or two. Well
need bone spits," he said. "But first
warm some of the other skins and
wrap them around you. Also put
more fat in the lamp. I'll be gone
1.-TWO or three hours"
Over near the far end of the gla-
cier front, he found a drift with a
four-inch crust packed by the drive
of the wind during the previous
snowstorm. He went at it like an
Eskimo, slashing out domino-shaped
blocks with his knife.
After he had gathered a high pile
of the blocks on a fairly level spot
just beyond the drift, he started to
cut others and lay them edgewise in
circular wall around the pile. Two
feet up he began to lean the blocks
inward.
BY the end of three hours, he stood
in the blackness of a snow beehive,
half foot higher than his head and
over seven feet achoss at the floor
level.
Low down in the wall he cut a
hole. There was little more than
space enough between the igloo and
the glacier front for him to crawl
out. He circled around the snow
dome and the big drift, through the
thick swirl of snow, and recrossed
the stream.
In the cave he found Lilith fur
bundled and lowering over the lamp,
as she broiled thawed caribou steaks
on a shank-bone spit He picked the
girl up in her skin wrappings, and
carried her out and around to the
igloo. A second trip fetched the rest
of the skins, the lamp, and enough
meat for a starter.
While she went on with her cook
ing, over the re-lighted lamp, he cut
more block and built a low entrance
tunnel from the door to part way
around the curve of the igloo wall.
When he backed in, he blocked the
mouth of the tunnel with a snow
slab.
The inside of the igloo was already
so warm from the lamp heat that
the inside of the dome roof was be-
ginning to soften. But Garth knew
there was no slightest danger of it
falling in. AS fast as the snow melt
ed, the moisture was such outWards.
It met the cold of the outside air and
froze hard.
In a little while the igloo would
be dome of solid ice strong enough
to hold the weight of bear. The in
terror was both warmer and drier
than any tent, or any hut of wood or
stone The caribou skins made even
the snow floor comfortable.
The girl had stack of caribou
steaks broiled for him. He sat down,
without a word, and began to eat. In
the midst of the meal the smoke and
heat became so Sitting that he had
to cut two-inch ventilation hole in
the roof.
All the time he gave no sign that
he perceived the look of misery in
Lilith's eyes. But when he had eaten
his fill, he spoke sudden order:
Bare your foot"
She obeyed, tensely silent. He look
ed close at the swollen ankle in the
lamplight and felt it with his finger
tips. Easy as was his touch, Lilith
gasped with pain. But he smiled his
relief
mo broken bone or dislocation;
only a sprain. You'll soon be all
right. Start packing it with softened
snow. Keep it as cold as you can
without freezing"
At that, all her pent-up emotion
