CHAPTER XII,

TIM HINKLE had not slept. Too
j much had happened at Mans
headquarters and too much specu-
lation had gone on at the Landing
that night to let his senses sink
into Inconsistencies. Besides, he
had had Tod West to watch, until
West took to his bed. He had
promised Young he would watch
Vests every move and was doing
his best to make his word good.
So when that light rapping came

held his lungs fiat for fear the
whole panel would move.
aYou boys all right?' he asked.
"What d'you mean, all right?"
Stuart growled.
The sheriff laughed and turned
away.
For an hour, then, they lay still
and not until a muffled, regular
snoring heralded the fact that rest
had come to the county's servant
did they leave their cots.
It was the work Of mere mo-

The bottom plate grated on the

But he let it swing back and
crouched there on the floor listening.
Abruptly he said:

Stuart looked at him blankly.

That was not his reason, his real

gether in the light Of single lamp,
and from the doorway he hailed
them cautiously.
Careful, noww he warned as
their amazement became articulate.
II don't want to be SEEN"
Omitting all details, he told what
had happened. Then:
Money and honey, Ezra! There's
a lookup somewhere; they tie in.

Man."
His eyes had been fast on her
face as he talked, rapidly and low
". Its oval seemed more sweet
and gentle than ever. He wanted
to touch her, to take her hands,
to draw her close and say the
things that were surging In his
heart, of far more consequence than
the things he let his lips say. But
he put the impulse back.
They followed into the darkened
kitchen and he searched for what
he needed; a small, fiber cracker
box, tumbler, jar Of strained
honey.
"Get me quart bottle, please,
Nan. Fill it two-thirds Of honey
and finish with water; warm, If
you've got it. I'll need pack
sack and some stuff from the
shanty."
He was back in a moment, sack
on his shoulder, rifle in his hand
and quickly slowed away the other
articles.
"Ezra, we've got to keep Bridger
as far in the dark as we hope we
can Keep West. We didn't dare

likely, and moved softly away. BIZ

he ate he watched the flowers be-
gin to nod gracefully under the
slightest Of breezes, saw the dew
disappearing from them, saw the
petals spreading wide. AS soon as
he had eaten he took the cracker
box from his sack and cut a hole
an inch square in the cover.
He smoked his pipe thereafter
and waited, listening, looking, the
dog sitting before him with a puz-
zled expression, stirring now and
again and whining lowly and lick
ing his chops and gaping. After
all that had happened yesterday
and last night, Tip appeared to be
thinking, this was devil of a
way to start the morning!
'Ha! Here we are!"
Young was on his feet, then,
bending over blossom that sagged
slightly under the weight of a bee.
Busily the striped insect explored
that flower and crawled to another
and still third and finally, locat-
| ing what he wanted, squeezed his
head and fore parts into the petal
fringed nectar cup.
"Shove 'em, old feller!" Kerry
| chuckled as the hind legs braced
and the bee twisted and strained
nightly to get nearer the precious
product of the bloom. eff bee can
grunt, Tip, he's granting! Look at

He shook the bottle of diluted
honey and poured some carefully
inside his box. Then, holding the
open receptacle beneath the work
ing bee, he struck the spike smart
~, knocking him free, down into
the box, and clapped the cover in
place.
With his hat, he covered the top
and waited, squatting, while the
bee buzzed within, humping sides
and top and bottom, angered and
frightened at this strange, dark i'm
prisonment. The buzzing was
constant for an interval; then
stopped began again; halted

"Found it!' he chuckled. "Just

rods away, as the last certain point

"Not so good, Tip" he muttered.
"Took that first Teller half hour

The chief objective of the expedition from Juneau will be the scaling of "The Devils Paw, " a tall peak near the International Boundary.
 Fossil animal tracks on the Devils Paw have been reported by Indians of the locality who believe that the tracks were made by bears, accord ing to Father Hubbard, who con- siders it likely that the tracks were made by prehistoric animals. prob ably a dinosaur, as the age of the rocks iasetcind cmfwy emf cm emf rocks indicates that they are of that period
 The stainless steel" Allegheny boat. specially constructed for Fa- ther Hubbard last year, was un- loaded here from the Yukon, as well as several of his sled dogs. Another of the new-type boats is at present being constructed at Oil City, Pa. The boat used on his expedition from Juneau last year, the first of it's kind ever constructed, was exposed to the action of salt water during all of last winter, he reported, without any evidence of corosion. Another small boat, an Old Town canoe, used on previous trips, is in storage here.
 Father Hubbard, who addressed thousands of people at his lectures presented in the East last winter, stated that at prestent the chief item of interest in the States re- garding Alaska is the Matanuska Colony Two of his assistants, George Getty, associated with Fa- ther Hubbard on many expeditions in the past several yeads, and Nick Cavaliere, motion picture photo grapher, who filmed Bring Elm Back Alive" Wild Cargo" and Flank and Claw, have already ar rived at Ma tanuska and after shooting" 15,000 feet of film in that district will return to Juneau with the Hubbard party.
