Then. in a devastating flash OF
clarity, she seemed to get the an

the words aloud in her intensity
of feeling. Il shall be safe IN my
own warm South
Yet. all at once she shivered III
the sunshine. The low ripple OF
the river had sounded, for mo-
ment, like knowing. malicious
laughter.
The husky, TongaSs, drew her
thoughts away from herself. He
was standing at the door of his
masters cabin. An instant later
the door opened, revealing the
white-clad figure Of Captain Rev
elrY Bourne.
The daily independent., 1937-07-19

He stood regarding. his dog with
an exaggerated look of deferential
inquiry. Whose magnificent
snow-hound might you be?" he
asked politely. "Ah-h-h-h!" with
quick grin of recognition. "A
thousand pardons! It's my own
pal, Tongass!'
The husky was lifting his fore
feet off. the deck and setting them
down again in a series of enrap-
tured bows.
Bourne held out his arms. The
husby, in a transport of affection
sprang upon him, Wagging his tall
and trying to reach his masters
face with his tongue. The captain
Wrestled with him a moment,

mcnt the scene with the dog. She
was not proof against its appeal
despite the fact that Harp's eulo-
gizing of Bourne had prejudiceo
her slightly against him. Swift tc

below that Denny realized he had
answered none of the questions
she had asked him about her ia
ther and River House.
The Maid was moving up along
stand of white-boled birch that
came to the rivers edge.
A pagan. laughing grove, this,
that brought to mind half-forgot-
ten readings about river-godS and
dry-adS. 1t spoke of Italy rather
than Alaska, she thought. And
then, when her mood had tighten
ed, there came suddenly into view
a ruined log cabin. Broken, desc
late, the dwelling crouched in the
mocking light of the glade, a dirt
roof Sunken and Weed-groWn;
doorlesS entrance agape, reveal
ing the bare boards of bunk in
side. About the place brooded the
infinite pathos of mans failure
to cope with the wilderness.
One of the men said, "A white
man and his wife-cheechakoeS-
starved to death there in the win
ter of II. Poor devils! When I
broke in the door, found them
lying side by side in the bunk you
can see."
The significance of this remark
reached Denny slowly, sending a
chill down her spine. She sat up
right, her eyes, with a startled
look of appraisal, sweeping the
valley ahead. 1t lay sunny, yer-
dant. teeming with fish and game
and wild fruit, a land of plenty
made for the delight and Susten-
ance of man and beast. Could it so
change, when ice-locked in win
ter, that human beings starved to
death?
The daily independent., 1937-07-19

Certainly, nothing in his present
attitude indicated speed. On the
contrary, though the breeze tossed
his dark. gold hair and ballooned
the back of his white shirt. there
was a singular impression OF still
ness about him. Yet he held her
gaze with a sense of something
half remembered.
Her thoughts went seeking into
the past and after a moment she
had it--a taWny cougar she had
once seen in ZOO. ReVelry
Bourne's stiffness had that quail
ity of slumbering swiftness which
lies in the relaxed body of noun
tain cat.
Suddenly Denny was startled by
a shout, "TongaSs!' from Bourne.
Tongass and Brussels. with but
few feet between them, were
facing each other, ears flattened,
lips skinned back, pink tongues
darting in and out. The two began
a menacing, stiff-legged approach
to each other, rumbling growls ris-
ing to rasping snarls that seesaW-
ed quicker and shorter as the dis
dance lessened between them.
CTo be continued.)

Denny paused where they were,
in front of the wheelhouSe, to look
at the lower forward deck where
the tall, dark man in the gray
flannels was standing at the jack
staff. He was gazing moodily at
the bow wave foaming from each
side of the Maids flat nose. Re-
membering his rudeneSS to her be-
fore the boat left Wrangell, she
said banteringly:
Lord Thundercloud- off for
the jolly old outing =
No" corrected Harp seriously.
"Sawbones from Philadelphia.
Doctor Pool Van Cleve. He's one
of our hunters, Miss Denise. Came
up here because his nerves went
haywire-too many operations and
no rest, I heard. But the old Sti-
kline will straighten him out"
Does it always straighten -"
The question died on her lips, for
at that moment the Maid round
ed a bend of willows and there
broke on Denny'S view something
so near. so StupendouS in its mag
nificence, that she caught her
breath.
From high up between two
mountain peaks, fall of ice pour
ed down for a dozen miles, spread
ing like fan as it approached the
river bank.
Denny. on the deck Of the Maid,
gazed wide-eyeG at the marvel.
She felt the pure breath of it cool
on her face as the boat, dwarfed
TO the dimensions of a waterbug,
forged up alongside the irideScent
height. So this was a glacier -
alive. sparkling. with trees and
flowers growing at its very feet!
After a while Harp placed a
deck chair for her and left.

pampered Sylvia when she &C

Shortly after. Revelry Bourne, the
skipper, arrived. Though ne gave
no impression of bigneSs, there
was about him something unhur-

preferred dark men like her IL

less. the blond river captain at
