CHAPTER IX
The Wolf Man's Strategy
Alone by the fire Ben had opportun-
ity to balance ono thing with another
and think out the full consequences
of his plan.
In the still hour, of .midnight he
carried „the equipment down to the
canoe that Beatrice had leftthe even-
ing before. Then he drew from his
pocket a sheet' of paper and wrote
carefully, a long time, with a pencil.
Folding his letter carefully, he
sealed it with tallow. Then, wrap-

he prepared to wait for the dawn.

She smiled into his eyes, .but she
came of a :breed of woman that had

immediately turned. But Ben had

As the truth flashed home, Neil -
son's first thought was of his rifle.
One well -aimed bullet over the water,
Shooting with all his old-time skill,
might yet hurl the avenger to his
death in the moment of his triumph..
And he cursed himself when his
empty hands showed him that he had
left his rifie.in his cabin.
His pistol, however, was at his
belt, and -his hand reached for it.
His steady finger pressed back
against the trigger.
The first shot fell far short. Ho
liftedthegun higher and shot again.
Again he shot low. But the third
bullet fell just a few fent on the near
side of the canoe.
Once more he fired, but the boat
was farther distant now,"and the Intl -
let went wild. The pistol was empty.
He turned back to his cabin for his
rifle. -

"We'd better keep on going to our
landing place," Ben advised. "There's
no place to land above it— I went all
over the shore this morning. That
will give him time to cool down. I
only want to get around this curve
before he comes with his rifle,"
"Turn into the shore," she told
him, half whispering. "You still have
timer to steer into shore. I'll jump
overboard if you don't."

overboard, Beatrice," ho answered.

The Honesty of Arabs.
An English geologist who has been
in the Oman, behind Muscat, related
to the writer the following story of
the honesty of the Arabs in this
southeasterly •corner of Arabia:
"We ' were proceeding' along- a
mountain trail one day when I saw
a small object on the ground and
picked it up. It proved to be a lea -11

region carry, in which were .knick-1
knacks,, flint and steel. Its''nominall
value might total five Bents. I of

fexed it to my guide and told him he
could keep it. He thanked me, but
took it and went over to a bowlder
and placed the leather roll on it ire
a •conspicuous place. I asked him
why ho had done this instead of
keeping it. He replied that he could
not keep it as it belonged to -sone-
one else, who would 'undoubtedly re
turn and find it.
"This incident is typical of these
Arabs. We saw often caravan loads
o dates or merchandise dumped by I

and a small package,' the contents of

equipment she had.. •

When lie was eight years old, Verdi
had not yet shown nsany signs of the
goislue which he was to develop later.
He frac, however, a spinet upon which
he was fond of picking out odd notes
and fragments of melody. Otto day ho
struck two notes at once and then a
third, which sountled vest' pleasant, be-
ing, in fact, the ordinary common
chord. The next day he tried to do the
same again, but could not dnd the
right key. M this he got so angry
that he picked up a hammer that was
lying by and began to smash the in
strument to pieces. Fortunately, the
boy's father was near and rescued the
spinet with a sharp blow on the held
which :his son remembered for years
afterwards. What impressed him later •
still more was the kindness oea neigh-
bor who repaired the Instrument and i
who wrote in the inside of it: "This ;
