happen to be loaded. But she sprang for him,
in her blind rage, with the rifle above her
head. He noticed. as she struck at him. how
the sun glinted on her hair and made it look
like Roman gold.
He tried not to be rough in taking the rifle
away from her. But when she stumbled and
fell, she lay full length on the shore gravel,
sobbing in helpless revolt. In those sobs, for
the first time in his life, he caught what
sounded like ghostly note of Illustration.
And that heartened him little But rather
than suCcumb to any wave of pity at her
posture of defeat, he backed away and busted
himself with pitching his tent and carrying up
his dunnage.
0HE remained there, more than ever alone,
as the last bale was taken from the beach.
She was still there, he saw, when he reached
for his axe and went up to the forest fringe
for tirewood. He felt sorry for her. But he
couldn't afford to show it. The wilderness, he
knew, would come to his help. And an environ
ment like that, he felt, might get them both
back to sanity. 1t had never. in the old DAYS,
failed to normalize his own tangled nerves.
She might even get to like it as much as he
liked it. though part of his liking had sprung
from the fact that just over the hills toward
Alaska, he had twice bagged grizzly Wandas

When Fillmore returned to camp he noticed
that Wanda was no longer in sight This dis
turbed him little, but he declined to go out
in search for her. There was limit, he knew,
to her area of exile. The thought that she was
prisoner on that island. without canoe,
brought back to him the occasion when his

- tilted the canoe and let it fill with water
Then he weighted it with stones, 50 that it lay
anchored on the cove bottom. out of sight
Pushing his way through fringe of wild
rice and bullrushes, he waded ashore and with
his hunting knife blazed two tamaracks to
mark the position of that submersion Then
he fought his way up the shore slope shoul-
dering through bramble and bracken until he
came to spruce and jack pine. He kept climb
ing until he mounted the island divide From
that point he could see the lake water stretch
away on either side of him, circling expanse
of blue that melted into its misted amphi-
theater of mountain peaks.
He was. he told himself, at last in a world
satisfactorily his own. And a new grimness
hardened his jaw as he made his way down
the forested slope to where his wife stood on
the shore rock beside their camp equipment
She had. as always, carefully dressed for her
new role. But she had the trick of remaining
imperial looking, even in a woolen hunting
jacket and jodhpurs.
Where are those guides of ours going?"
she demanded. Her gaze was fixed on the two
Indians who had so disappointed her with
their store clothes and preference for city
cigarettes They were padding away from
the island, across the blue of the lake
They're going home.
Home" echoed the dusky-lidded lady
who answered to the name of Wanda Aylwin
She was his wife, Fillmore remembered, but
among her colleagues she didn't even bear his
name. She was the woman with whom he was
supposed to share his life. but more and more
she seemed to belong not to him but to that
absurd world which crowned and corrupted
her with its adulation.
We're through with them" affirmed Fill
more as he rolled a heavy duffel bag further
up the shore slope.
His wife's gaze coasted the lake edge.
Where's your canoe?" she demanded.
1t seems to have gone"
She stared at him, her face darkened with
anger. What's the big idea?" she cried.
1t was that note of harshness in her Gus
tomarily golden voice, he recalled, which he
was learning to regard with something
dangerously near hate. We're going it alone
here. he answered as he rescued his repeating
rifle from under a blanket roll.
His wifes indignant eyes wavered between
him and the waste of water. Alone, in a
wilderness like this?' she gasped.
Exactly. From now on it's just you and
me, my dear, and two hundred miles of
solitude"

Nature isn't little bigger than Broadway"
What does that mean" demanded the
indignant Wanda.
1T means" said Fillmore, trying
to keep a note of bitterness out of
his voice, that for the first time ~
since our marriage you're going to
get down to fundamentals. You're
on new stage now, stage l hap =
pen to know almost as we'll as you
know that stage of yours on the
other side of the continent. And on ~
this nice empty island of ours, for
the first time since you accepted me
as your husband, we're going to
meet on something like equal terms"
The violet eyes widened, then
narrowed again. Just what are you trying
to do?'
I'm trying to keep you human.
She stared at him. more cloudy-eyed than
ever. you filthy coward! She accentuated
her revolt by f1inging aside her shoulder pack.
But Fillmore, at those familiar notes OF
hysteria, merely held up hand. What CON-
plicated the thing was his firm belief in her
basic soundness of heart. Her stage work
hadn't entirely robbed her of her impulses of
affection, but she was beginning to extend her
histrionics into everyday life. That, coupled
with her regal way of pushing on to her own
regal ends, didn't exactly make for family
peace. and he wanted peace almost as much
as he wanted her
You coward" she repeated, shaking her
hair loose He had to acknowledge it was
lovely hair, even in disorder 1t was her
consciousness of her power over men, he sup
posed that tended to leave her so arrogant
and unreasonable. And he wanted to save her.
She was worth saving. She had to be saved.
There's no use ranting, my dear he
said with a carefully acquired casuaness. 1T
won't bring you round of applause from
those jack pines We're through with play
acting, out here We're taking short cut
back to first principles.
oHE strode to the waters edge, hands
clenched You can't keep me here" she
cried. But the lonely blue expanse all about
her brought shudder to her body. She turned
slowly and stood regarding her husband.
What are you trying to do?" she repeated
I'm trying" Fillmore said. TO get you
back where you belong You're wonder in
your way. Wanda You invariably win out

What is termed civilization
could not haze been very old when
men began TO ASK themselves il
death c3uId be the ultimate goal
Of life. Ii was many centuries ago
that a man named Job summoned
up the warnings of the human
soul in the pensive query: If a
man die shall he live again
From remote antiquity men have
tried to find the answer to that
question. Scientists and philoso-
piers. sophist sand logicians have
pointed intellectual telescopes to-
ward the inscrutable Businesses of
futurity, only to be thwarted and
set at naught by that blank wall
which separates the seen from the
unseen, the fathomed from the un-
fashionable.
Strange, is ii not, that with the
inevitability of death always be-
fore them men find it possible I'M
der ordinary circumstances to
draw the curtain of their minds
against it? Yet there are mo-
ments in the life of almost every
man when sad images of the
shroud. and pail and deathless
darkness, and the narrow house"
cause him TO shudder and grow
sick at heart" And, however,
they may be formulated, these
thoughts inevitably resolve them
selves at last into JOBS poignant
question.
That question has been answer

from the scientists or the philoso-
piers, the sophists or the logicians

Precious Metals

That buried gold does endure
against all elements has been
demonstrated again in Egypt
where the 3,OOO-year-old mummy
of king was dug up in the Delta
country In the dry Upper Nile
region all materials in a mummy
case are liable to last. In the
humid region of the Lower Nile
the metals alone come through in
tact.
