CAUGHT I)
THE WIL
By Robert Ames Bennet
SYNOPSIS
Allen Garth is preparing to make
a trip to a mune which he has discov-
eredin the Canadian Northwest when
an aeroplane appears at the little re-
fueling station and an elderly man,
a young man and a young woman
alight.
. The two men who are Iooking for
mining 'prospects, become .much in-
terested in some specimens of ore
shown them by Garth. They are all
rasher haughty, especially the girl,
and treat Garth like a servant, but
he shows his independence and does-
n't allow.hiniself-to be ordered about.
They decide to take Garth in their
aeroplane to inspect his imine and if
it turns out to be worth working to
take a lease 3:or a year and give him
sixty percent. of the output. Garth
lends them to his claim and Huxby
professes to think that he might have
salted it.
• After some digging, which is done
by Huxby — and some consultation
by Huxby and Ramill, Garth feels
That they are convinced of the poten-
tial wealth of the thine. The party
proposes to go back to the flying ma-
chine for lunch, Huxby saying he will
come back and do some more digging.
They suggest that probably Garth
does not wish to come back with them
and he says he will take a trip up
the mountain side while they are
gone. But Garth is suspicious of the
two men, so as soon as he gets out of
sight he makes for the flying ma-
chine, takes a part from the engine
and disappears again. The party
conies up to the machine in frantic
haste, .the elderly millionaire being
almost exhausted by the speed at
which they have hurried him along
Just as they were about to take off
Garth walks out of the brush and
wants to know what is the matte
and Huxby cover's him with his pistol
and tells kiln to place his gun on the
wing. It is evident. that they. intend
to fly back to the Mackenzie and
leave him.
Garth places his gun as'ordered
then unties and rope holding th
plane and stands holding it whil
I3ttxby tries to•start the engine, which
would not go. He then tells them
that he has the
part of the engine in
his pocket but will not allow thein t
come near h i m until a 11 a r
out. He then lets the plane
fling
go,
lug the line out into the water and it
drifts down stream towards a falls
When they see the plane is doomed
and realize that they are in his pow
er Mr. Ramill says they will do jus
as he says if he will lead them back
to the Mackenzie.
Garth shoots a moose and prepares
food for the company, which they are
hungry enough to enjoy. Miss Ra -
mill,: although still very disdainful of
Garth, is brought to the 'extremity of
slicing off a piece of moose liver and
cooking it over a fire for her supper
to start our trip out'just as soon as
these skins are all tanned,"
The mining 'engineer drew back
"So soon as that? My dear girl, if
he's going to rush us off, I 'don't
see how I can scare any time' here in
camp. I haven't yet sampled all the
area of'the placer." •
"You'll have two more days , for
it," Garth told !nim: "Only don't for-
get' that an alloy of platinum and;
gold- weighs more than lead. You'll
be toting my sixty per cent, along
with- the forty for yourself and Mr.
-Ramill." -
Flnxby turned to fix him with a
coldly.questioning. gaze that disclosed
nothing of his thoughts. "So. you
plan for` me to do the .packing?"
"Your share. I'll have a full load
of meat. How 'much alloy have you
panned out? Must be thirty or for-
ty pounds avoirdupois by this time.
May as well. tell me. It will have to
1be packed in a sack."
The agate eyes of'Huxby did 'not
change from their' look of cold in-
quiry, Garth explained:
"If you hide the loot in your poc-
kets, 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- fi-
anee, and I—I'd lose my sixty per
cent."
Mr. Ramill interposed: "It's no
joke, Vivian. I've seen a strong swim-
mer sunk by the gold in his money -
belt. A bag can be thrown :off the
shoulders. Another thing, Garth is
to receive bis three-fifths of whatev-
er you have panned out. That is un-
• derstood."
"It was his bargain," Huxby re-
plied.
r He went to gorge on the leg of
caribou that Garth had roasted over
the fire on a twist -thong of rawhide.
When he could eat no more, he has-
tened back to the placer trough to
resume his panning.
The others had already feasted up-
e on the tender venison, that was self -
e basted in its delicious fat. Lilith and
her father had helped Garth pack it,
with
more meat and skins,downthe
long slope from the glacier.
o Before sundown; Garth set several
e rawhide snares,e
each.attacked a
k
•
pair of downbent saplings. For bait,
he used raw pieces of caribou flesh.
The beasts of the valley had never
been trapped. When, at sunrise, he
went the rounds of his snares, he col -
t Meted a lynx, two ted foxes, a wol-
f verine, and a wolf.
Had he used saplings, the wolver-
i ine and lynx probably would have
chewed loose from the nooses. But
the powerful cross -pull of the opposite
'saplings had been too much for them.
1A stink, or other animal too small to
be caught in the noose, haci tripped
the trigger of one snare. The raw-
hide line of the last snare had been
broken by the vidlent upjerk of a
heavy wolf.. Freed before the . noose
could throttle him, the beast had
made off safely.
Garth did not reset the snares. He
now had more skins than he needed.
From the wolfhide he make a knap-
sack for Huxby. The fox swims fur-.
' nished smaller bags for Mr. Ramill
i and Lilith.
I
At the second sunrise, Garth bund-
led the lynx and wolverine pelts and
a quantity of catgut with the cari-
bou skins.
"T'here's nothing like wolverine
fur to fringe the front of a parka
hood," he said. "It's the only fur
to which soft snow will not cling."
Huxby eyed the bundle ironically.
"Mr. Ramill told me about your cari-
bou mama talk. I take it, you aim to
go back and live among the Eski-
mos."
"I might do worse," Garth replied.
"Here's your wolf packbag. Load
our metal, and slant up froth the pla-
cer. We'll meet you at the glacier."
At Mr. Ramill's nod, the engineer
took the knapsack and started off.
Garth put the small alpminum pot.
and the tin cup . in the millionaire's
bag. He drew his blanket from the
leant° to strap it on his pack -board.
with the bundle of skins.
Lilith Ramill; crept into the lean-
to 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 waste-'
fur eating up of all the sugar:.
Her worn boots lay at the foot of
the leant°. She had on her moose -
hide moccasins and lynxskin 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,
along with the last small' pieces of
the moose hides.
"We might sew on rawhide soles,"
he said, "Now—all set. How about
you, mates? Ready to hit the trail?"
The girl showed the whisky flask
that he hacl left in her father's care.
It; was full of fly dope—spruce pitch
?nixed with caribou tallow. She put
the flask into her foxskin bag, along
With the pouches, of tea and salt.
NOW GO ON WITH THbb STORY
CHAPTER- XI
Tang of. Wood Smoke
Indian Tan - not suntan acquired
on a fashionable bathing beach.
Garth .sat beside the camp fire, sew-
ing new moccasins for himself.
Nearby, the millionaire _. dealer in
mines and - his fastidious daughter
scrapedthe raw sides of the six Bari-
oou skins and rubbed then with the
tanning mixture of fat, liver 'end
brains.
The work was their own choice.
Garth had told them they could ei-
ther tan the skins, or wait for him
to do it. Until the tanning had been
finished, the trip out would not be-
gin.
Mr. Ramill was so keento start
back for 'civilization that he went at
the disagreeable task with . energy
and determination. Lilithnot only
worked as vigorously as her father,
she showed a real interest in the tan-
ning. This, however, was no more
strange than theway she had helped
with the cutting up of the caribou.
Garment making was as much an im-
memoiral womanly instinct as food
care.
Huxby took no part in this prepar-
ation of the skins. . When he came
down to the camp from the platinum
placer, the sight of his fiancee's do-
ing such squaw work struck him
speechless. He stared in blank
amazement. When at last he found
his voice, he started to threaten
Garth:
"You'vegone a bit too far., you
roughneck. Stand up, or I'll kick you
up. I ant going to—"
The girl broke in, with cool scorn:
"Tune off, old dear. You're set on
static. It's not interference we Want,
Dad and I are giving this perfor-
mance under our own direction."
"But—but Lilith, for you to clo
such—er —degrading work. Your
father, too. It's impossible. If you
must do something, you could change
places with Garth—sew those mocca-
sins. Ladies used, to do needlework.
But this messy skin -rubbing -it's not
fit for you. I can't bear to see you
soil your handsthat way,"
"Very well, old darling, get down
on your knees and take my glace.
You, See, it's a bargain... Alan agrees
Her :gaze turned slowly from the
brush shelter' around to the cache
platform, udder which sti)1 hung a
few pieces of smoked (noose meat.
The 'smudge -fire had long since. burn-
ed out. She looked from its, ashes
to the fresher ashes, in the cook -fire
hole. They were steaming from the
water Garth. had flung' on them.
Mr. Ramill was already Walking
off. Garth . had 'made a trump -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 was still
lingering, as if reluctant to leave the
caznp. But that of course was un-
thinkable.
She .turned and met his glance.
Her,.lips cured in their old scornful
smile. , "What are you waiting, for?
Aren't we ever to get out mf this
beastly valley?"
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 guide them all
to the Mackenzie. The probabilities'
were now in favor of even her fath-
er making it... The girl would go
back to what she called civiligation
to luxury and self-indulgence, to jazz
and night -clubs -the vapid pursuit of
sensation.
Yet a part of her would linger be-
hind in this lost valley of the desolate
subarctic Rockies. She had eaten of
wild meat, she had smelled the tang
of smoke from man's first friend, the
damp fire. She had come face to
face with the Primitiive—and had liv-
ed it,
The real woman of her had awak-
ened—had thrust aside the superficial
self whose world was made up of ar-
tificiality and dissipation. She had
been compelled to face the raw real-
ities 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 fath-
er, 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 ntil-
lioneire bed worked and sweated into
vastly better condition than at the
start of his training.
After the last descent from the
glacier, Garth had allowed hien to
shed his city suit. With it no longer
inside Huxby's aviation suit, Mr. Rit-
ual] could now belt close the leather
trousers. Even though they had been
cut large for the engineer, the fact
that the portly mine investor could
at last button theist gave welcome
proof of the shrinkage in his girth.
He had wanted to shed the hot lea-
ther garments and retain his own
rumpled clothes, This had been ve-
toed by Garth. °ordinary cloth would
snag and scrub; Leather would not
snhg, and it would give some protec-
tion against rain.
Huxby didnot come into sight, out
of the palcer• trough, until the others
were well up the tundra slope, half-
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 a-
head. So far, nothing had been said
to Huxby 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 never ' give over
trying to .get the platinum placer un-
til every possible scheme had been
balked. Mr. Ramill !night quit. He
already possessed a fortune.
But Huxby was still a relatively
poor' man, and he had now made cer-
tain that the placer was worth at
least a minion dollars. Behind his
polished front, he was .no ,less un-
scrupulous than his millionaire - part-
ner, and he wasabsolutely cold-blood-
ed.
old -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 pfove of ad-
vantage to leave Huxby in doubt re-
garding the location of the cache.
Whenthe engineer came plodding
up the tundra slope with Lilith and
her father ,Garth was half a thousand
feet above the foot of the glacier. He
had shifted over onto the reeky slope.
above the boulders of the lateral mot -
eine as far as he could get from the
edge of the ice.
His position caused the three to
head straight up the gap without
crossing to the inner edge, of the mor-
aine. This was as Garth had planned.
It kept Huxby from seeing the gla-
cier front and the tunnel of the gla-
cier stream.
Lilith made the last climb to Garth
without effort. But Huxby plodded
up almost as winded as Mo. Ramill.
He lowered from his shoulders the
'small but heavy load in his wolfskin
knapsack. The chunks of frozen cari-
bou meat beside• the bulky blanket -
wrapped bundle on Garth's pack -board
drew his displeased attention,
"You can't expect me to carry any

father will do well to make` the top

MORE THAN 88% OF COKE
iS HEAT -PRODUCING CARBON
Coke is not :a new product.
It was manufactured in China
some 2,000 years ago and is
now a favored fuel in almost
every civilized country in the
world.
Coke is a natural, not an arti-
ficial fuel. It is made from coal
by simply heating the coal to
such a degree that the smoke-
producing element is driven off
in the form of gas and tar oils.
This is kntwn as the "volatile
matter" which forms 30% of
the content of coal but scarcely
exists in coke.
Only 62% of bituminous
coal is fixed carbon, while coke
has more than 88%.
That is why there is less waste
in coke—why it produces .such
an intense heat so quickly and
maintains it so well.
Coke is not a substitute for
so-called hard fuel—but is a
modern fuel to be judged on its
own merits. Thousands prefer
it to any other fuel—irrespec-
tive of cost!

of this devil's chute with no loads at

"Pin no pack jack of the woods.
Forty pounds is quite enough to suit
Inc."
Garth hefted the wolfskin sack.
"My guess is forty-five. Figuring
roughly, that make forty-one troy
pounds, or four, ninety-two troy
ounces. Call it 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 thous-
and dollars. Not so bad for a few
days' panning."
Huxby's face showed that this was
no news to hien. For all his cool self-
control, his fingers clutched tight
hold of the wolfskin as he drew it out
of Garth's careless grasp.

l
As You'd Wish To Meet.
Once again we bid you "Good
Thursday". Sometimes we wonder if
the week (only) consisted of Thurs-
days, all manner of. Thursdays, sad
and glad, good and bad. Not that we
hate Thursdays, but it so happens
that then We, your writers of wit and
wisdom must rack their ill-treated
brains to satisfy (we hope) you, our
readers. There must be a description
of the so-called events of the week,
at least one good joke, smatterings of
our philosophy (whatever they may
be), everybody wants his or her
name in the headlines (even the tea-
chers are no exceptions), and our
style of writing must conform to ev-
eryone's opinion of good writers
ranging from Zane Grey to William
Shakespeare. Odd, isn't it, how many
wonderful suggestions we get?
Last week we were approached
rather timidly by a very modest
group of first formers who suggest-
ed that we have a column entitled,
"Famous Quotations". A ubiquitious
group of Fourth and Fifth form
girls (you know their names) prompt-
ly retorted that it was their idea.
Imagine such an insult to the intel-
ligence of these representatives of
first form. Such is. the lot of we
poor males.
Our "Fatuous Quotations":
iMiss Nixon—It happened that the
moon was ;full.
Charles Edward Mutch—Yea, and
verily.

curately observed through the flo-.

the absence of darkness.
1st Form Student -Starch is an
important element in , the chemistry

Miss V. A. F. Fremlin—How posi-
tively immoral! (Everybody in our
"brain factory" has heard this retort,
at least those who have been unfor-
tunate enough to try exchanging re-
partee with the aforementioned ama-
zon. We have a strong suspicion
that Miss Fremlin uses said remark
as a cushion—something to fall back
on when she's beaten in fair combat.
We hereby nominate that ancient say-
ing, "How positively immoral," as a
candidate for the "Pit of Oblivion."
Everyone is keyed up over the
coping fray with Westervelt, an ev-
ent that would cause even the most
prosaic person to twitch His ears. The
boys are industriously practising
shots at the old basket, trying pas-
ses, sweating profusely, making fac-
es at one another, trying to, explain
to the coach how their opponent de-
served the penalty, not they, knock-
ing "their man" over in a most un-
cermonious manner, and then calling
him names, should he have only his
neck broken. Add to this tumult,
the coach demanding attention from
his bewhiskered, yet youthful pro-
tegee. We suppose the girls are prac-
tising, but as we have not finished
our course that we previously men-
tioned, wecannot approach the young
ladies 'in our, official capacity; how-
ever we can inform you that the girls
are fits more rough, kick harder,
scotch more viciously, call each other'
worse names than the boys Could 'ev-
er imagine, and grimace more cruelly
at their less fortunate opponents

Last week we were optimistically
predicting a snow -less winter, but
like all valued things, our prophecies
went awry. Imagine it snowing on
Blue Monday: two of the saddest fea-
tures of this world, except homework
and examinations. Snow always did
remind us of examinations. Perhaps
that is because snow is always white
and when the teachers hand out ex-
aminationpapers

deadly, pallid, starchy stiff white
