He has two thousand silk and velvet gowns to exchange with the Indian trappers for fine furs, The craft is destroyed in •a gale and the passengers are forced into the life- boats. In one boat is Captain Kant - men, Ned, Lenore and Bess, a seam- stress. Land is sighted by the captain and a man meets them at the edge of the shore. When they land the man tells them his name is Doomsdorf and that he has named the island "Hell." Ned helps Lenore to Doomsdorf's eabin and Bess is ]eft with Captain Knutsen. Doomsdorf sets the life- boat adrift, and when Knutsen tries to save it, Doomsdorf shoots the cap- tain dead. NOW GO ON WITH Ti•IE STORY CHAPTER W.V.—(Cont'd,) She fought back the instinct to ((cream out her story from the door- way. At the bidding of an instinct so sure and true that it partook of a quality of infaitibi:ity, she checked bee wild pace before she erosse] the threshold. Everything depended on Ned and the cool, strong quality of Ned's nerves. She :aught her breath in a curious deep gasp, then, steene5 Into the room. Then that gasp became very nearly a sob. The way of deliverance was not clear, A wrinkled native woman, an Aleut or an Eskimo, who was evi- dently Doormedorf's wife, looked up at her with dark inscrutable eyes from the opposite side of the room. The whole picture went home to Bess in a glance. Lenore was huddled in a chair before the stove, yielding herself to the blessed warmth, already shaking off the semi -apathy induced by the night's chill. But as yet there was no hope in her. She was shiver- ing, helpless, impotent. Ned bent over her, his arms about her, now and then giving her sips from a cup of hot liquid that he held in his hand. His care, his tender solicitude, struck Bess with a sense of unutterable irony, Evidently he had no suspicion of the real truth. He locked up as Bess entered, Part- ly because the light was dim, partly because he was absorbed in the work of caring for Lenore to the exclusion of all other thought, he failed to see the drawn look of horror on Bess' face, "I'll need a little help 'here, Miss Gilbert," he said. "I want to get this girl to bed. The night seem- ed to go harder with her than with the rest of us, and rest is the best thing for her," Bess almost sobbed aloud. At that instant she knew she must work alone. She must give no sign of he: own desperation before this stolid squaw. And yet she almost screamed with horror when she real- ized that any second she might hear Doomsdorf's step on the threshold. She glanced about till she located the Russiar's rifle, hung on the wall al- most in front of the squaw's chair. "Did you hear a shot?" she asked. With all the powers of her spirit, she kept her voice commonplace, casual, "Yes," Ned answered. "It wasn't anything—w: s it?" His tone became cold. "Will you please give me a little help with Miss Hardonworth?" "It was a bear—Mr. Doomsdorf shot at it with his pistol," she went ..e en in the same casnnl way. She thought it incredible that they would not take alarm from the wild beating of her heart. She turned easily to the squaw. "He wants me to bring hie rifle so he can shoot at it again," she said. "That's it -on the wail?" She stepped toward the weapon. "Sure—take him gun," -he squaw answered her. Now the Indian was getting up and presently was lifting down the wea- pon. But she did not put it at once into Bess' hands. She pushed back the lever, revealing the empty breech. Then Bess saw a slow drawing of her lips—a cruel upturning that was seemingly as near as she colic' come to a smile. "Sure—take him gun," she said. "Got any ((hells?" Bess shook her head. Her heart paused in her breast. "Maybe him ,got shells. He took 'em all out when he saw your canoe come in." this stress With the swiftness and dexterity of ' an . animal, . she )lad sprung to interca}it the deadly blow, hurling '.the girl back by her band upon the latter's shoulder, Except for the huddled heap in the blood -spattered coi'nsr of the cabin, it was as if it had never happened, The squaw was again stolid, moving slowly back to her chair; Doomsdorf breathed quietly and evenly Tha two girls stood staring in speechless horror. "I hope there won't be any more of that," Doonlsdot'f said quietly. "Tho sooner we get these little matters straightened out, the better; for all concerned. It isn't pleasant to .be hammered to pieces ' is it?" IIe took one step toward Ned, and Lenore started to scream again. But he inflieted no further punishment. He reached a strong hand, seized Ned's shoulder,, and snatched him to his feet. Backac' by pain but fully conseions, Ned looked into the glittering eyes. It was no longer possible to disbelieve in this hairy giant before him. Doomsdorf walked to the door and threw it wide. "There's snow andcold cut there." His voice was deeply sober. "Death, -too—.lure as you're standing here, A weakling like you can't live in that, out there. None of your kind can stand it—they'd die like so many sheep. And as a eesult you have to bow down and serve the man that cant" Ned Lad no answer. The greatest fear of his Iife was clamping down upon him, "That's the law up here --that the weak have to serve the strong. I've beat on North at its own game, and it serves me, just a$ you're going to serve me now. You on go out there if you like—if you prefer to die. There's no boat to carry you off. There never will be a boat to carry you off." He paused, smiling grimly; then with an explosive motion, pulled back the lid of the stove and throw in another log, "Sit deem, why don't you?" he invited. "I don't insist on my servants standing up always in my presence. You'll have to sit down sometime, you know." Lenore, wholly despondent, sank back in her seat. To show that he was still. her protector, Ned stood be- hind her, his hands resting on the back of her chair. Bess stole to a little rough seat between then and the squaw. A single great chair was left va- cant, ahnost in the middle of the circle. Doomsdorf glanced once about the i •om as if guarding against any possibility of surprise attack by his prisoners, then sat down easily him- self, Exct.se me for not making you known to my woman," he began. "In fact, I haven't even learned your own tames. She is, translating from the vernacular, 'Owl -That -Never -Sleeps.' You won't be expected to call her that, however,—although I regret as a gen- eral thing that the picturesque native names so often undergo such lacera- tion on the tongues of the whites. When I took her from her village, they gave her to me as 'Sindy.' You may call her that. It will do as good as any—every othr squaw from Tin City to Ketchikan is called Sindy. It means nothing as far as I know. "You'll be interested to know that you are on one of the supposedly un- inhabited islands of the Skopin group. Other islands are grouped all around you, making one big snow field when the ice closes down in winter. I could give you almost your exact longitud- inal position, but it wouldn't be the least good to you. The population con- sists of we five people—and various bear, caribou, and such like. The prin- cipal industry, as you will find out later, is furs. "There is no need to tell you in detail how and why I came here— unlike Caliban, I am not a native of the place. I hope you are not so de- ficient as to have failed to read "Tem- pest.' I find quite. an analogy to our present condition. Shakespeare is a great delight on wintry nights; he re- mains real, when most of my other slim stock of authors fades into air. (To be continued.) CHAPTER XV. lf, like her husband, the brown squaw was a devotee of eru.4ty, she must have received great satisfaction from the sight of that slender, girlish figure standing in the gloom of the cabin.

She heard Doomsdorf's heavy step at the door. The man came in, for an instant standing framed by the doorway, the light of morning behind him. He turned contemptuously to Ned. "What's the matter?" he asked. Startled and indignant at the tone, Ned instinctively straightened. "I didn't say anything was the matter. Where's Knutsen?" "Knutsen—has gone on. Hell didn't suit him. He went against its man- dates the first thing. I hope it doesn't happen again—I would hate to lose any more of you. I've other plans in mind." Appalled, unbelieving, yet obeying. a racial instinct that' goes back to the roots of time, Ned dropped the girl from his arms and leaped to his feet. His eyes blazed with a magnificent burst of fury, and a mighty oath was at his lips. "You—" he began. Yet no second word came. Dooms- dorf's great body lunged across the room with the ferocity and might of a charging bear. His arm went out like a javelin, great fingers extended, and clutched with the effect of a mighty mechanical trap the younger man's throat. He caught him as he might catch a vicious dog he intended to kill, snatching him off his feet.

Egypt Visits Eng- land Important Egyptian personalities - are visiting Great Britain this year. The Egyptian Foreign Secretary has. come and gone and is returning again; the Prime Minister, Mohamed Pasha. Mahmud, has also arrived and has. been officially received by the new Labor Ministry; King Fuad is expect- ed on a private visit in August. These 'three visits are eloquent of �- changed times in Egypt. Five years. ago, when political tension between, the two countries was at its height,. such coming and goings would have been, if not impossible, at any rate• the occasion for endless agitated ru- mor, centering acrimoniously round) the prospects of an Anglo-Egyptian treaty. It is just a year ago since Mo- hamed Pasha Mahmud became Prime• Minister of his country. Under his government the Egyptian Constitution has been suspended and King Fundi rules through his Ministry without a Parliament. Egypt is thus at the moment being ruled abnormally, and the treaty question is wisely being left.' in abeyance during the suspension of the parliamentary regime, which Mo- hamed Pasha Mahmud says he, does, not intend to prolong a day longer than is necessary. But in the meantime he has been, able, in the domestic sphere, to set on. foot great hygienic andagricultural reforms. Simultaneously, in the sphere• of foreign affairs, he has concluded the important Nile Convention with" Great Britain. These accomplish- ments are to the good of Egypt and; to the good of Engio-Egyptian rela- tions; and this growing cordiality be- tween the two countries will certainly stand Egypt in good stead when the• time comes, as it shortly will, for the raising of two more important prob- lems which, however, are international and outside the Anglo-Egyptian ques- tion—the revision of the Egyptian customs duties and the abolition of the capitulations. ' The French Debt • Washington Past: France's agree- ment with Great Britain requires her to pay as match pro rata to Britain as. is paid to America. If the 3400,000,- 000 due on August 1 should be paid. to the United States, France must pay about 3300,000,000 to Great Britain an debt account. Thus, if the Mellon Berenger agreement be not ratified this month, France must pay out $'700,000,000 or suffer the consequences that befall' a nation that, ropr:iiates its most solemn 'obligations.
