Vas Eric's Death
Suicide or accident?

Eric Kinross strode on, carrying
him as if he were child, and chant
ing, ever chanting. Nat Page didn't
dare look at him as he followed
along the little thread of trail that
still remained unravaged by the
confagration. Somehow they were
past the flames, which closed in like
a wall behind them.
Kinross still carried Mark, but he
was staggering now. He reached the
rock bridge. He set him down. Mark
stumbled and got upon his feet in
bewilderment.
There was Madeleine, running to-
ward the three men. Kinross turned
away, so that she should not see his
face.
Only Nat knew that Kinross was
blind, knew what was In the mind Of
the fearfully injured man as he ran
toward him. But Nat was too late.
With sigh, Kinross slipped from
the bridge into the boiling, surging,
eddying current below, to disappear
instantly in that white vortex.
Had Kinross plunged deliberately
to his doom, or had he been over
come by weakness, and fallen? That
was one Of the things that must re-
main unknown until the Judgment
Day.
Madeleine had flung her arms
about Mark, and was beating out
the sparks that ran through the rags
Of his clothing. But as Kinross
plunged, she ran to the side Of the
bridge with a scream and peered
over. Nat Page caught her and
held her.
HE has fallen-he has died-and
he gave his life for him." she
moaned, sinking to the ground.
Mark had fallen beside her. Nat
stood beside the two, not knowing
what to do. But suddenly a fire.
blackened form came slumping
through the scrub.
Look, look!" it yelled. ''The
lighthouse fire is Quit"
Then only did Nat realize that the
beacon was no longer flashing its
one-two, one-two through the night.
The slender pillar was invisible in
The midland journal., 1946-12-20

now, a gaunt spectre of man from
which, as the flames illuminated
him, Nat Page shrank back in un-
believing horror.
Nat could see Marks face, his
hair singed, but the features hard
ly scorched by the flames. The
little clearing in which the cabin
stood had been the last to be over
run by the fire. Mark had been
overcome by the smoke, but already
he was struggling in his rescuer's
arms,

At Last Madeleine and
Marx Can Be Happy

An old, gray-bearded man was
huddled on the stones at the foot of
the lighthouse. When they shook
Andre Galipeault by the arm, he
stared at them without knowing
them. He had become a child, and
he would never know anybody
again.
A storm had come up across the
Gulf. The rain came down in
sheets. Slowly the long night waned,
while the searchers moved to and
fro among the rocks. It was morn
ing before they found the bodies Of
Horace Broussac and the two sail
ors, wedged in among the crevices
of the rocks, where the seas had
flung them. Great wads of water
soaked bills, little fortune, were in
Broussac's pockets.
But the body of Eric Kinross was
never found. Strong, simple, ,prini-
tive, he seemed to belong rather to
the elements than to the world Of
man, and the elements had claimed
him for their own.
Madeleine had understood every
thing. Father Lacombe had spent
good part Of the night with her,
and they had bandaged Marks
burns. Mark was conscious, and
able to grin at Nat Page when he
came in with the latest news.
But Nat didn't think the time was
propitious to say very much just
then, except to inform Mark about
Broussac and Old Andre. 1t was
Mark who asked who it was had
burst into the hut and torn away his
ropes as If they had been mere
strings. Then Nat had to tell him
about Kinross. After that there was
a long silence.
II guess this rains put out the
fire." said Nat. 'We must have lost
lot of timber, but there will be
plenty of time to cat fresh drag
ways further back, before we start
numbering operations in the fall"
Mark nodded. He was still trying
to take it all in. He had never
quite believed that Eric Kinross was
alive, and his return, to save his
life, and give his own for it, had
shocked him badly. Also he was in
pain from the burns. He had aban-
doned all hope at the time when
Kinross came rushing into the cab
in.
There won't be any more trouble
with St. Victor" said Nat. And, in
fact, half-a-dozen of the habitants
had looked shyly into The cottage to
inquire for Mark. And Father La
combe had come, after Mark became
fully conscious, to grasp his hand.
And then there was Madeleine.
She was still tending Mark, and he
could see that she was moving
about the cottage in a dream-like
stage, as if all the past was quite
unreal to her.
Some day, Mark vowed, he would
bring reality into their relationship.
For the present he was content to
lie back and rest.

Mighty Eric Becomes
A Hero

There was a devil of tender mock
cry in the seigneur's brown eyes.
He let the girl go, and stood looking
down upon her.
Sand so you love this Americana"
"I-I sent him away. I am your
wife, and I knew that you were not
dead" ...
"You love him!"
Madeleine was silent, only looked
up piteously into Eric's face.
''Well-you love h1n?"
"Ah, Eric, forgive mel Five years
is such long time, and I was only
a child" Suddenly she flung her
self at Eric Kinross' feet.
Kinross raised her. 'That is all
right. That is natural, my little
one," he answered tenderly.
Voices were shouting from the
steps above them, leading down
from the natural bridge. A man
came into view.s Nearly. all the hair
was singed from his head, and what
had been his clothes was now a
mass Of blackened tinder, in which
the bright points Of sparks glowed
and vanished and appeared again.
1t was Nat Page, and behind him
came a dozen ragged figures.
SIS Darrell here? Mark Darrell,
is he here?" Nat shouted huskily.
''He is not here" cried Madeleine.
"Isn't he at st. Victor?"
''Nol He must have been trapped
in the fire. The flames were too
strong for US. We may be able to
reach him across the bridge.
There's a strip that hasn't caught
yet"
Madeleine ran to Nat, caught him
by the arm. 'sOh, save him, save
himi" she cried.

Penitentiary Has Business
District for Its Inmates

A business district" within the
walls of the federal penitentiary in
Mexico City contains scores of
rent-free stores and offices which
are operated by the prisoners for
their fellow inmates, says Col

These businesses include a pet
shop, a printer who makes "visit-

 Committee members have been wanting to talk things over with ByrneS since the United States be- gan its policy of firmer dealings with Russia.
 Congressional leaders generally endorsed the new policy and lauded Connally's speech to the Senate yes- terday, which carried along the same theme.
 There was little enthusiasm, how ever, for Connally's suggestion of frequent meetings among the Big Three or Big Five members of the United Nations Organization.
 Many Senators conceded that preliminary conversations between the United States, Russia and Brit ain could do considerable spade work on incipient problems.
 But they believed agreements among the big powers would carry greater force in world public opin- ion if they were worked out through the U.N.O. Council in which some of the smaller nations have a voice.
 Connally's speech was more con- ciliatory toward Russia than recent addresses by Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, (R., Mich), and former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The tone of his speech found particular favor among sen- ators who believe that Russia can be handled friendly as well as firm ly.

 The strike would affect about 5,200 employees of Bridgeport Brass. It was voted unanimously at a membership meeting Sunday.
