Addresr WELLE BLYTHE CHASE, | 1730 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, MM. WNU Service CHAPTER VI—Continued a] Jo Garth himself was ready to quit when, in the twilight, they came down to where the steep pitch eased off on a small patch of tundra. He opened the dry gravel in a hole under a plie of boulders. At sight of the fat with the frozen caribou and smoked moose meat in the pack, Lilith at once gathered dry moss. This time the raw caribou flesh was seared over a fat-fed fire of the moss before being eaten. After the meal, Garth opened the gold-mounted cigar case and handed one of the Ha- vanas to its owner, Mr, Ramill hastily bit off the end the fat and moss fire. As he put it to his lips he hesitated, then, with a per- ceptible effort, he turned to offer it to his daughter. “Uh—ladies first, my dear.” Lilith started to thrust out her hand. Something seemed to catch it. She glanced at Garth and stood up. “You need It more than I do, Dad. Good night, everybody. I'm dog tired.” Her father and Huxby looked at each other In astonishment. Garth was less surprised.. He smiled to himself as he put more moss and fat on the fire and colled up beside it. The short nights were already get- ting longer and darker. When wakened by the chill of midnight, Garth saw Huxby lying on the other side of the fire hole. The fire had burnt out. He built a new one, As its small flame lightened the darkness, he saw the half-inch stub of the cigar clutched in Huxby's fingers. Before sunrise, Garth was agaln awake. He filled the little pot with ice and set it In the edge of the rebuilt fire, then began cooking caribou meat. The others wakened almost too stiff to move. But all managed another big meal of the meat. To top it off, Garth had" Lilith boll a little tea In the wa- ter from the melted ice. After the hot drink, even Mr. Ramil managed to hobble down she now fair. ly easy slope. The exercise gradually warmed and relaxed stiffened muscles. The end of a long day's hike at last brought the party down the miles of tundra slopes to the edge of timber. line. There was no trall—none at least that the city dwellers could detect Time and agaln Huxby declared that Garth was lost no less utterly than the rest of them: that he was wander. ing at random. To silence the caviler, Garth began foretelling small land. marks before they came into view. This at last forced the engineer to as surely as If It were a beaten. path, mounds of dirt-covered ashes where Garth had smothered his camp fires go- ing to the lost valley and returning from It to the Mackenzie, He predicted they would reach ea- noe water on the seventh day. But an ankle. Even after much soaking in a cold spring and tight bandaging by Garth, the sprain held the million. aire down to a slow hobble. An aspen staff enabled him to travel slowly un- til the noon meal. After that the pain overcame him. He refused to move, Garth looked doubtfully at the none too large supply of food that was left. His pack now welghed little more than the platinum alloy In Huxby's woll- skin knapsack. He had allowed everyone to eat without stint. That had been neces. sary In order to keep up the strength of the chechahcos. But, as he had foretold, the country was barren of game. There was none too much meat left In his pack. “If you can't carry on, Mr. Ramil, you'll have to stay here and keep bath- ing your ankle in this rill,” he said. “We're too short of food, though. to lose any time. The stand of birch at the stream is so small that I'll need a full three days to bulld our canoe. The three of you follow down this brook as soon as you can.” When he picked up a few pleces of meat and the rifle, Huxby spoke: “1 Ramil” “There's nothing here to attack you,” Garth replied. “Just possibly, 1 may find game at the stream.” “Could another palr of hands be helpful in making the canoe?” Lilith “Well—yes.” The girl looked at Huxhy, not speaks or move, He did She stood up, Her father shook his head. “You Huxby rose, frowning. He looked at “I see no 1 certainly “She might have helped. You'd be He swung away at a rapid pace, But behind him he heard the girl speak “Don't be silly, Vivian. Get out of my way." After that came a quick patter of moccasing. Garth kept on for some i 3 distance as If he did not hear the sound. Then he halted behind an al- der thicket to face the girl. She was so close behind that she almost ran into him. He smiled Into her eager eyes, “This 18 a happy surprise, Lilith.” Her eyelids sank, and her cheeks crimsoned under thelr coat of pitch- and-grease mosquito dope. “You needn't fancy I'm running after you. It's—It's only because I want to get out of this beastly North country of yours—and be rid of you, too!" "So that's it, Well, you're a good hater, but you're a real sport. You're game, Tag along, If you wish.” He set off again at a pace twice a8 fast as the best her father had been able to travel. An occasional snap of a twig behind him told that the girl was still following.. Yet he did not once slacken his galt or look back up- til, three hours later, the brook began to meander through a stretch of mus- keg. At the edge of the swamp he stopped beside a game trall. Lilith came up beside him, breathing deeply from the long and rapid walk. He pointed to the big water-filled hoof prints In the mud. “We may be in luck. Moose passed here yesterday—the water is clear In the tracks. They may not have gone too far. Stay here, or be quiet.” An uptossed leaf showed that the wind was in his favor. He started along the trall. The tracks were stil] a day old when they turned out Into the muskeg toward a Illy pool. A mother swan and her brood of cygnets were swimming around the lilly pads. Garth skirted on along the border of the swamp to where a bend of the stream twisted in close to dry ground. Here was the grove of birch of which he had spoken. He pointed to the fringe of willows below the birch. Those bitten twigs—still white. They've been eaten off less than an hour ago. Stay here” After another test of the wind. he went ahead alone, silent as a Iynx. Luck was with him. As he rounded the bend he saw the Immense antlers of an old bull moose rise above the willows on the bank Before the startled beast could plunge into the walter Garth dropped him with a bullet through the brain. At the crash of the shot, three moose cows with calves broke cover beyond the bull. The distance was considerable and brush obscured Garth's aim. He had to shoot four times to bring down one cow and her calf. But that was enough. His shout brought Lilith on the run. She looked delightedly at the bull “Oh, no chante now of starving I" “That's net all” he sald. “I can build a pide canoe In two days: a better one than can be made from those small birches™ When, a day later, Mr, Ramill came Hmping after Huxby to the smoke. marked camp, Lilith was still harging moose meat on alder poles over the smudge-fire, Huxby dropped his full-stuffed knapsack and wiped his sweaty fore. bead with the back of his hand. “Pah! To think I've lugged all that old meat, and he's killed again. Why didn’t he come back and tell me?” The girl gave him an odd glanca, “We've Leen too busy, old dear, Where's the blanket? “1 couldn't pack everything. If rq known, I could have left this con. founded smoked moose and brought the blanket Instead.” “Why not have left your load of metal? Didn't you consider that Dad and I will get far more than fifteen thousand dollars’ worth of comfort out of that blanket? His lips tightened. “Sorry, darling. The thought of a common dirty blan. ket as against all the platinum] did not even think of it. Now of course I realize. But it's too late” “Yes,” she agreed, “it's too ate, Dad, you were a real sport not to walt for Alan to come back and carry you" The milllonzire had slumped down to rub his swoilen ankle. He looked up at Huxby, with a bantering smile, “We couldn't permit our girl to elope with a woods vagabond, could we, Vivian?” The engineer did not smile. face went blank. roughneck, Lilith? “Down In the willows, working hard for us. Won't you be glad when we're Md of him! “Won't you? "Well, I'm not so sure as I was. At present he is far more agreeable com- pany than you are” Huxby stiffened and went off towards the willows without any reply. Mr. Ramill peered up shrewdly at his daughter, “That was pretty hard even from you, Lilith, Try to keep In mind how matters will stand as soon as We get out of this damnable mess.

She looked down at her grimy tattered sports sult, at ber His “Where is that bloedsmeared hands and broken finger nails.

Sald that the less welght | carried, the better for me." She reached down a hand to help him to his feet. “Listen, Dad. No matter how much we hate Alan Garth, we'll never get out of the muskegs without him. Haven't you noticed Vivian's eyes? You must ask him to give you back the pistol” “But—it's his, And to rasp his self. esteem with such an intimation of distrust—" “What's more important—hils feel ings or Alan's guldance—if anything bappens to Alan— Make some ex- cuse.” Mr. Ramil] got to his feet and limped beside her down to the stream bank. Huxby stood with his morose faze fixed upon Garth, who was tying wil. low ribs on the gunwale of his canoe frame with rawhide thongs, The millionaire spoke in a casual tone: “How long will it take to put on the birch bark? “We'll use the moose hides, sir. They welgh more but will be much stronger. You might ask Huxhby to chop down a birch and cut It isto five-foot lengths. We'll have to split the wood to make paddies.” "So?" Mr. Ramill turned prospective son-in-law. “You well return the pistol to me. 7/4 (/ to his may as Vivian, ~ 8 Oh. By J # | 4 , i x “Squaw,” She Murmured. Squaw!” “Dirty It will hamper your chopping, and as we're now to be In a canoe, its weight will not bother me.” Huxby sat motionless, taken aback. Before he could think of an excuse to refuse, he met Garth's coolly Inquiring gaze. He turned away and drew the pistol from Inside his tattered coat, with a show of careless indifférence. In the same offhand manner, he pleked up the belt-ax and went to hack at the base of the nearest birch tree. Another day saw the canoe com. plete. The cow and bull hides, gummed and sewn together, formed the cover, hair side in. The result was a craft large enough for the party but shorter and broader than the average canoe. At Garth's suggestion, Lilith had be gun tanning the calfskin. Mr. Ramill tended the smudge-fire. After cutting the birch billets, Huxby had at first sat around brooding. Then, suddenly, he went off up the brook. He did not come back until after the cance was finished. But he brought the aban. doned blanket, Garth was beginning to shape into paddies the slabs of wood that he had rived .from the bireh billets. He glanced from the blanket to the clouds overhead, and from them to Lillth's tattered skirt, “Not half bad, Huxby. That blanket will soon be needed. Too splendid a sunrise this morning. We're In for a storm. Miss Ramill, that calfskin is cured enough for you to wear. Make a skirt of it.” “How about Vivian's shoes?" she asked. “He's walking on his uppers” “He's welcome to my old moccasins, They may last out our portages.” Though Huxby's ears reddened, he accepted the castoff footgear of the man from whom he had sought to bilk a claim worth at least a million dol lars, He could not refuse. ls thick shoe soles had scuffed through on the rocks that the pliant rawhide moc made from the trimmings hides. For anchor he skin knapsack with its inum alloy, “May as well make It useful” met Huxby's look of moody protest. “You are to have the bow seat, and 80 can continue to guard my 60 per cent, along with" A clap of thunder and the swish of 8 wind gust through the birch tops checked Garth's banter. He spoke a quick order: *“Leanto the blanket on that knoll between the trees, front this way." A glance at the onrushing black clouds of the thunderstorm sent even Huxby hurrying to the While they tled the upper corners of the blanket with rawhide thongs and weighted the back edge with logs, Garth pulled the ashore and placed it bottom the smoke racks. When, three hours later. the crash- Ing thunderstorm passed over and the heavy downpour of rain ceased, all the party were wet from the drip through the blanket. But the fire still smol- dered and the bhalf-smoked meat was dry under the canoe, “Had you been used to eanoelng” Garth sald, “we need not have lost all this time.
