By ROBERT AMES BENNET WNU Service Copyright by Robert Ames Bennet SYNOPSIS As Alan Garth, prospector, is prepar- Ing to leave for his mining claim In the Far North, a plane lands at the airways emergency station. In it are Burton Ramil], millionaire mining mag- nate: his daughter, Lilith; and Vivian Huxby, pllot and mining engineer, Be- lieving him to be only an ignorant prospector, the men offer te make an air trip to Garth's claim, although they refer to his samples of platinum-bear- ing ore as nearly “worthless,” Lilith Ramill, product of the jazz age, plainly shows contempt for Garth. Through Garth's guidance the plane soon reaches the olaim site. Huxby and Ram- iil, after making several tests, assure Garth his claim is nearly valueless, but to “encourage” young prospectors they are willing to take a chance In Invest. ing a small amonnt, Sensing treachery ahead, Garth secretly removes a part from the motor of the plane. Huxby and Lilith taunt Garth, but their tone soon changes when they try to start the plane. Returning to shore they try to force Garth to give up the missing part. Garth manages to set the mono- plane adrift and the current carries it over the falls. He points out that he is their only hope In guiding them out of the wilderness. Garth begins the work of preparing for the long journey. He Insists that the others help. Ramlill and his daughter must be hardened for the hardships ahead In their trek to the outpost on the Mackenzie. Garth experiences difficulties in getting his companions into line. An experience with a bear helps. Returning from a long sleep in the woods, Garth finds the party has stolen the tea and sugar he has been saving for emergencies. He makes no objection, simply pointing out that he is accustomed to a strict meat dlet, and that they are hurting only themselves. The work of getting ready for the trip continues. Huxby refuses to help, and works on the min- ing claim. Garth stores food In an Ice cave. CHAPTER VI—Continued we] Cn “You'll have two more days for it." Garth told him. “Only don't forget that an alloy of platinum and gold welghs more than lead. You'll be tot- ing my 60 per cent, along with the 40 for yourself and Mr. Ramill. If you ide the loot In your pockets, you'll go down like a shot, first time you slip into a muskeg pool or quagmire. Think of the all-around calamity that would mean, You'd lose your life, Mr. Ramill would lose his Man Friday, Miss Lilith her fiance, and I—I'd lose my 60 per cent.” Mr. Ramill Interposed: “It's no joke, Vivian, I've seen a strong swimmer sunk by the gold in his money-belt, A bag can be thrown off the shoulders Another thing, Garth Is to receive his three-fifths whatever you have panned out. That is understood.” “It was his bargain,” Huxby replied. He went to gorge on the leg of cari. bou that Garth had roasted over the fire on a twist-thong of rawhide. When he could eat no more, he hastened back to the placer trough to resume his panning. The others had already feasted upon the tender venison, that was self -bast- ed In its delicious fat. Lilith and her father had helped Garth pack it, with more meat and the skins, down the long slope from the glacier. Before sundown, Garth set several rawhide snares, each attached to a pair of downbent saplings. For bait, he used raw pleces of caribou flesh. The beasts of the valley had never been trapped. When, at sunrise, he went the rounds of his snares, he col- lected a lynx, two red foxes a wolver- ine, and a wolf. Garth did not reset the snares. He had more skins than he needed. From the wolf-hide he made a knapsack for Huxby. The fox skins furnished small. er bags for Mr. Ramill and Lilith, At the second sunrise, Garth bun. of lasts ons; Sowiesoff easily: Get relief, or money ” at druggists or ' * Allcock, Ossining, ALLCOCK'S HERE'S RELIEF Sore, Irritated Skin Wherever it is—however broken the rface-freely apply 101 €8S1Nno Watch Your Kidneys / Be Sure They Proper] se he By a quantity of catgut with the carl bou skins, Huxby eyed the bundle ironically. “Mr. Ramill teld me about your carl bou parka talk. I take It, you alm mos.” “I might do worse,” Garth replied. Load our We'll meet you at the glacier” At Mr. Ramill's nod, the engineer took the knapsack and started off. to strap it on his pack-board with the Lilith Ramill erept Into the leanto for the last time, She came out with the pouches of salt and tea, Neither had been opened since Garth put them in her care, after the wasteful eating up of all the sugar, Her worn boots lay at the foot of the leanto. She had on her moose hide moccasins and lynx-skin leggings, As she backed from under the low roof she picked up the boots and eyed them with amused contempt. They had been fit only for show, not for use. But when she flung them down, Garth added them to his pack, al ng with the last emall pleces of the moose hides, “We might sew on rawhide soles,” he sald. “Now--all set. How about you, mates? Ready to hit the trail?" The girl showed the whisky flask that he had left in her father's care, It was full of fly pitch mixed with caribou tallow. She put the flask into her foxskin bag, along with the pouches of tea and salt. Mr, Pamill was already walking off. Garth had made a tump-line for his pack. As he fitted the band across his forehead and stood up, rifle in hand, he glanced over his shoulder at the girl, She turned and met his glance. Her lips curled in their old scornful smile. “What are you waiting for? Aren't we ever to get out of this beastly val- ley?” He started off without any reply but with a glow of exultance under his outward show of indifference, Lilith Ramill thought she was about. to escape from the Wild. He had promised to gulde them all to the Mackenzie. The probabilities were now In favor of even her father making It. The girl would go back to what she called civilization—to luxury and self-indulgence, to jazz and night. clubs—the vapld pursuit of sensation. Yet a part of her would linger be- hind in this lost valley of the deso- late subarctic Rockies. She had eaten of wild meat; she had smelled the tang of smoke from man's first friend, the camp fire, She had come face to face with the Primitive—and had lived fit. The real woman of her had awak- ened—had thrust aside the superficial self whose world was made up of arti. ficiality and dissipation. She had been compelled to face the raw realities of Life. And there were weeks more of it to come, Fortunately, she had already been hard. Now she was fit. Under the smear of mosquito dope, the lines had smoothed from her face, The drawn look had disappeared. Instead of the scarlet of rouge, her lips were cherry red with healthy natural color. She had gained weight. Her body now looked lean rather than emaciated. As Garth overtook the girl's father, he eyed him with a smaller yet no less genuine satisfaction. For every pound gained by the daughter, the father had been rid of three or more. Though still far from hard, the millionaire had worked and sweat into vastly Wetter condition than at the start of his training. Huxby did not come into sight, out of the placer trough, until the others were well up the tundra slope, bhalf- way to the glacier. That gave Garth an excuse to tell Lilith to ease her father along while Huxby was closing up with them, Garth himself swung briskly ahead. So far, nothing had been sald to Hux- by about the cache cave in the ice tunnel of the glacier stream. He knew only that the caribou carcasses had been put on ice, The one thing of which Garth felt most certain regarding the engineer was that he would pever give over try- ing to get the platinum placer until every possible scheme had been balked. Mr. Ramill might quit. He already possessed a fortune, But Huxby was still a relatively poor man, and he bad now made cer- tain that the placer was worth at least @ million dollars. Behind his polished front, he was no less un- scrupulous than his millionaire part. ner, and he was absolutely cold- blooded. Among the cards that the future was to deal in the game, the ice cave might prove to be anything from a two-spot to an ace. If the play should shift back to the valley, a cache full of meat would most benefit the player who knew about it. No less so, the caribou skins. In any event, it would do no harm and might prove of ad- vantage to leave Huxby In doubt re- garding the location of the cache. Lilith made the last climb to Garth without effort. But Huxby ploddes up almost as winded as Mr, RamiiL He lowered from his shoulders the small but heavy load in his wolfskin knapsack. The chunks of frozen carl bou meat beside the bulky blanket wrapped bundle on Garth's packboard drew his displeased attention. “You can't expect me to carry any of that venison. I'm no pack jack of the woods. Forty pounds is quite enough to sult me” Garth hefted the wolfskin sack. “My guess is forty-five. Figuring roughly, that makes forty-one troy k pounds, or four, ninety-two troy ounces. Call 1t five hundred even. Platinum Is around sixty dollars an ounce troy. The values of the alloy will average at least thirty. That gives us a total of say, fifteen thousand dollars. Not 80 bad for a few days’ panning.” Huxby's face showed that this was no news to him. For all his cool self- control, his fingers clutched tight hold of the wolfskin as he drew It out of Garth's careless grasp. Ever since coming into the valley he had spent the greater part of every long day scratching spots all over the great placer claim and panning sam- ples of the gravel, Fifteen thousand dollars was no fortune. But If a few score panfuls of grassroot dirt could yield that amount, there could be no | doubt of the vast treasure beneath. Even If bedrock lay at a shallow depth, the platinum placer was worth at least a million dollars, Though Garth smiled at the engl neer's betrayal of cupidity, he took note of it as an additional warning. He had sald that Huxby was a com: monplace wolf. But any wolf is apt to be deadly when ravenous, — w Garth's sldeward glance caught an amused twinkle in Mr, Ramill’s shrewd eyes. The hard training had put the millionaire in better health than he probably had enjoyed for many years, Also, his mind was bigger and better poised than that of his prospective son-in-law, He could smile with Garth over Huxby's obsesslon—smile and put aside all thought of the placer until in a position to take it from its discoverer, Lilith saw the situation from a still different angle. She opened the wolfskin sack to peer inside. At sight of the nodules, she dropped the flap, with a look of disgust. Mere value meant nothing to her. The alloy looked dull and uninteresting. “Worth only fifteen thousand dol lars™ she bantered her fiance. “You've dug dirt all this time for a trifle lke that, and lugged it all the way up here. Don't tell me you're so dumb that you plan to pack it for the weeks Alan says we'll need to get back to the Mackenzle. Forty-five pounds of that stuff—how silly! From what Alan told us, we may have all we can do to earry ourselves on: this cross country hike" “With my blanket and the meat that's in it, I'm starting off with some- think like two hundred pounds,” Garth sald. “Game was scarce on the other side of the pass when I went out the other time. The welght of our metal in meat may be worth more than the fifteen thousand dollars. Let Huxby choose which he prefers to pack” The engineer compromised by shov- ing one of the twenty-pound chunks of caribou meat into the sack, on top of the metal. This left a second chunk of equal weight. Lilith bent over to put it in her own sack. “lay off," sald Garth, choice. Besides, “It 1s his rozen meat soon 4 A 78 Hn “Alan Garth, You're a Man” spolls when It thaws Fall into In- dian fille. Here goes” He backed up to his boulder perched pack, slipped the tump-line over his forehead, and started up the great cleft as If his 200-pound pack weighed no more than Huxby's 65 pounds of meat and metal He halted only when the other men were compelled to stop for breath. Huxby, though carrying a load only a third the weight of Garth's, had soon begun to strain and puff as hard as Mr. Ramil, He was larger than Garth and seemingly stronger-muscled, But he lacked Garth's wind and en- durance and the knack of back-pack- ing. At every halt he sank down on the ice or a moraine stone, panting, Garth merely eased his back-break- ing pack upon a boulder, slipped the tump-line from his forehead, and walt. ed for the other men to recover, Lil ith Ramiil's pack was too light to hamper her. She climbed with the agility of a goat. In places the pitch of the glacier became too steep for ordinary climb- ing. Garth had to draw his belt-ax and chop foot holds. The last of these steep rises was far up towards the head of the pass, The remaining distance to the sum. mit was not so steep, and there were no dangerous crevasses. Garth made the climb at a swinging pace. He was halfway down before he met Huxby plodding slowly upwards with Mr. Ramill. The engineer looked at him with cold-eyed rancor, Mr. Ramill panted a wistful ques. tion: “Wh-when--do we—eat?" “At the top. Take your time” Lilith had chosen to wait for Garth down where he had left them all, His pack lay on the snow below the boul. der upon which he had set it. She pointed her slender finger at the fallen bundle, “I tried to find out If you were lying about the weight. I couldn't even lift one end. But you see how the top of the stone slopes. The beastly thing slid ofr." “That's all right, Miss Ramill. Easy enough to up-end It again” “Easy |" Her blue eyes glowed with an odd light. “You carried Dad back to camp that day. hill, all the way up here! you're a man!" he admitted. “But we'll goon make the downslope. I left the knife on the knapsack. Go up and slice that cari- bou meat.” The girl whom her own father could not command cheerful nod. up the gap. Garth's steady climbing brought him to the top of the pass a few paces behind Huxby and Mr, Ramilil. Lilith was sprinkling salt on slices of the raw meat, The pass was barren even of ecarl- bou, moss. The meat had to be eaten cold or uncooked, or not at all. Six hours had passed since the party left the camp in the valley bottom, After the long, hard climb, even the girl was hungry enough to have eaten rawhide, The caribou meat was tender, and the first taste of salt since the party had come to the valley turned the meal into a feast, Less than half of the 20-pound chunk of caribou remained by the time even Mr. Ramill found he could eat mo more. All were so refreshed by the food and rest that no cone objected when Garth gave the word to start on. There would be no more slogging up-hill, with lungs beliowsing for air. One would only have to hold back, But that was the rub—the holding back. The south side of the pass was far steeper than the north, and there was no glacier to offer stretches ot smooth footing. The bed of the sharp- ly tilted cleft frequently dropped over small cliffs. Between these high ledges were slides of frost-shattered rocks, Patches of ice here and there made the footing doubly treacherous, In places Garth had to drop his pack down before him. Not infrequently, even Lilith had to be given a hand down slippepy chutes, or caught in Garth's upraised arms when Huxby lowered her off the edge of a sharp drop. Still oftener, her father had to be helped by both Garth and Huxby, (TO BE CONTINUED) - - ET a Shovel-Tusked Elephants Used Big Jaws as Dredge Nature never made any real me chanical steamshovels except indirect. iy through her agent, man, but 20,000. 000 years ago, before the Gobl desert had reached its present barrenness and before man had put in his appearance on earth, she had a creation far more remarkable.

This doubt, however, is now cleared. Other discoveries have shown that these long-extinet elephants also lived in America and dredged the swamps of California, Nebraska, and Kansas. —Pathfinder Magazine.
