Thomas Long, an Amer- ican, who first discove_ed in 1867 the true extent of the island, mimed it for Baron Wrangel, a Russian ex- plorer. 'Forty years earlier elesil3avon bad heard native reports of the is- land, but ho had failed to find it. Mankind left Wrangel Island to it- self until January, 1914, when the Karluk was crushed into kindling 'wood by the ice. Captain Robert A.

A rescue ship reached Wrangel in September, Of twenty-five on board the Karluk four- teen returned safely to civilization. In 1921 four men, with an Eskimo seamstress, elected to stay on, Wran- gel Island. They found it to be the home of many foxes and polar bears, which they shot for meat. Seal and walrus frequented the shoredand, in Summer, 'large numbers of birds, geese, terns and snipe nested there. Driftwood lined the beaches, so the sojourners did not lack for fuel. But the supply ship dispatched to Wran- gel in the second year failed to reach the island. Three el the men started rescue ship arrived. The Teddy Bear, that brought back Ada Blackjack, left Charles Wells and thirteen Eskimos. They lived on Wrangel until a Russian ship took them off in 1924 and confiscate' their fns catch. Wells and two Eskimos died in Siberia. • "Wrangel remained untenanted un- til 1926, when Rursia established the large and well-equipped colony which y, is now a source of worry," a recent bulletin of the society says.

It was a grim twist of fate that sent the sheep -man to Bodine's fust with his tale of grief. Buck's sense of humor was equal to the occasion, however. "Wait till the folks dowrl below hear about this," the big fellow roar- ed in a fine show of anger, "P11 go with you right row." Thus the two of them burst upon the quiet town in mid-afternoon. Bad news travels fast, and their story was soon common property. Buck's vio- lent indignatibn and old Liotard's re- peated turning to him for confirma- tion ,of his loss began to have its effect on the Basques. Even Esteban niet him without any open show of hostility. A little thing in itself, but one from which Buck took a great deal of come fc,it, was the fact that Kent had gone back to Winnemucca. By evening the temper of the crowd in town was at white heat. An hour from now Bo- dine knew they would be cooling down. The abuse ho had heaped on Acklin, added to their own bitter hatred of the man, had brought the big fellow's plans to a climax. If he were to profit by them, he had to risk tossing the dice now.

They've moved their cattle back into the hills. Five men guard the dam easier than twenty could rjde that old line. You know how the country narrows up there." Esteban nodded his head. Bodine had VAC him nothing he did not know himself. He continued to sit motion- less as Buck went on. "Lookin' round, I found a way to get by these Double A waddles. Get into the Kings first; follow the creek north, say five miles beyond where that little branch cuts in from the west. You'll see old Bengoa's ranch, but keep east of that, by'm by you'll come to a little park of birches. You can't miss the trail east. It heads to the north in a little while. Disaster Peak will be right in front of you. When you get there, pick up a creek; any one; they're all flowin' to the martin. Coal Creek is the nearest. Lt hasn't over five miles from there down to the head of the water Ack- lin's backed up. His lake's near full already." "And if we get there, then -what?" "There won't be any if about it. We'll get there. And when we do, we'll blow his dani out so pretty he'll be the rest of his life squaring the damage suits." Blowing up the dam had occurred' to the boy, too; but he had found how impossible it was to get near the wall. Bodine's plan was still a closed book to the young Basque. "How are you going to get down to the wall from there?" he asked. "You won't be any betteroff than trying it from this end." "Oh, yes, we will! We won't even try to get near the wall. "Say-" Bodine's voice dropped to a whisper. "If I show you how, will you go through with this? I tell you we can't lose." • "How do I knew but you'll leave me holding the bag?" Esfahan de- manded. "How do you kno'ty?" the big fellow repeated. "Why I aim to be right there with you when this thing's pull- ed ulled off. 'We'll only want one more man; Romero'll do," "Well, you can take me on faith, or forget it" The boy was still cau- tious. "I won't pass my wta'd until 1 know what I'ni promising" "I'll go you dn, that." Bodine was not standing on ceremony. "You get the dynamite. Acklin would spot nae afterward if I bought it.

He had waited too long for that; and when the time was propitious he,Insu- lted to settle the issue between them strictly by himself. But as he swept his eyes over the desolation that mark- ed the once prosperous Buena Vista, he knew that he could not pass by without attempting to see the girl who had haunted' him from the time he had first nils her. Blaze had. heard nothing of Este- ban; but unless the boy had changed greatly, he could imagine' the pitch to which he must' be aroused if he had.' been deceived into believing that Acklin had fires: their wool and killed Liotard's sheep. As he sent My Man toward the hacienda, he resolved to try to tell the boy the truth, or at least part o it. The sound of -a crying child caught his ears as he node by the open door of the barn. He stopped and called and Basilic came out, rubbing his face with his sleeve. "What's the matter, little chief?" he called solicitously.
