Ned has a fight with. a wolf, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY r island in the uprtng, The difficulty lay in finding an opening of attack. Doonisdorf's rifle was never loaded except when it was in his arms, and he wore his pistol in his belt, day and night. For all his hopelessness, Ned bad noticed, half inadvertently, that he always took precautions against a night attack. The squaw slept on the outside of their cot and would be as difficult to pass without arousing as a sleeping dog. The cabin itself was bolted, not to be entered without waking bath oceu- pants; and the thre, prisoners of course slept in the newer cabin. Ned was working that part of the line from his Twelve -Mile cabin over the ridge tow".rd the Forks cabin— his old rendezvous with Bess. He was somewhat late in crossing the range today. 'The blazed trail took him around the shoulder of the ridge, clear to the edge of a little, deeply seamed glacier such as crowns so many of the larger hills in the far North. Few were the wild creatures that traversed this iey desolation, so his trap line had been laid out around the glacier, following the blazed trail in the scrub timber. But today the long way round was particularly grievous to his spirit. More than a mile could be saved by leaving the timber and climbing across the ice, and only a few sets, none of which had ever proved especially productive, would be missed, Without an instant's hesitation he turned from the trail straight over CHAPTER XXII,—(Cont'd.) Ned did not wait to catch the full force of that blow. His powerful thighs, made iron hard in these Inst bitter weeks, drove him out and up in an offensive assault, His long body seemed to meet that of the wolf full in the air. Then the rolled together into the drifts, The wolf wriggled free, sending home one vicious bite into the flesh just ander the arm; and for a breath Tooth contestants seemed to be playing sense weird, pinwheel game in the MOW. The silence of the everlasting • wild was torn to shreds by the noise of battle—the frantic snarling of the wolf, the wild shoots of this madman who had just found his strength. Then for a moment both contestants seemed to lie motionless. in the snow. The volf lay like a great hound before the fireside—forelegs stretched in front, body at full length. Ned lay at one side, the animal's body between his knees, one arm around his neck, the other thrusting back the great head. The whole issue of life or death, 'victory or defeat, was suddenly im- mensely simplified. It depended sole - on whether or not Ned had the physical might to push back the shag- gy head and shatter the vertebra. Time stood still. A thousand half - crazed fancies flew through Ned's mind. His life blood seemed to be starting from his pores, and his heart was tearing itself to shreds in his breast. But the wolf was qrivering now. Its eyes were full of strange, unworldly fire. And then Ned gave a last, terrific 'wrench. A bone broke with a distinct crack in the utter silence. And as he fell forward, spent, the great white form slacked down and went limp in bis 11: ins, &PM. lie could leap it at 4 standiui; jump) with a 'MOW fps start he ovoid bound ten feet beyond.

He slid rather slowly, with that sickening helplessness that so often eharaetrizes the events of a tragic dread; and the wilderness seemed still to be waiting, watching, in uAutterable indifference. Then he pitched forward into the crevice. He was not to die at once, There' was still s -p^ of7ife, He',etched up, as it by a miracle, on an icy shelf ten feet below tha mouth of the er'eviceJ with sheer walls risi"g on each side. CHAPTER XXIV. Ned knevwhat fear was, well enough, as he lay in the darkened chasm, staring up at the white line of the crevice above him, The ahelf on which he had fallen was scarcely wider than his body, and only becouse it projected at lin up- ward incline from the sheer wall had he come to rest upon it, It was per - taps 50 feet long, practically on a. evel all the way. The wall was sheer for ten feet above him; beyond the shelf was only the impenetrable dark- ess of the crevice, extending appar- ently into the bowels of the •earth. Very cautiou.!y, in imminent peril of peeling backward into the abyss, to climbed to his feet, He was a tall man, but his hands, reaching up, did lot come within two feet of the ledge. And there was nothing whaterzer for tis hands to clingto. If only there were irregularities in the ice. With a surge of hope be thought of his axe, This tool, how'ver, had wither fal- en into the crevice, or had dropped from his shoulde and lay on the ice above. But there remained his clasp tnife. He drew it carefully from his pocket. Already he felt the icy chill of the glacier stealing through him, the cold fingers of death itself. He must lose no time in going to work. He began `.o cut, two feet abc' ^ the ledge, a sharp -edged look in the ice. He finished the cut at last, hen started on Another a foot above. Ile hewed out a foothold with gr, at care, He did not forget that the hand- holds, to which his fingers must cling, r yet to be made. They bad to be finished with even greater skill than the footholds. Ver3 wisely he turned c than next. He mads the first of them as high as he could reach. Then he put one n about a foot below. Three more footholds were put in at about 12 -inch ntervals between. Placing the knife between his teeth, he put his moccasin into the first foot- hold and pulled him,elf up, It did not take long, however, to convince him that the remaining work bordered practicall on the impossible. These holes in the ice were not like rrogularities in stoan, The fingers slipped over them: It was almost im- possible to cling on with both hands, much less one. But clinging with all his might, he tried to free his right hand to procure his knife. He nladc it at last, and at a fright- ful cost of nervous energy succeeded in cutting some sort of a gash in the by wall above his head. Standing so close he could not look up, se was im- possible to do more than hack out a ragged hods And because life lay this way and no other, he put the blade once more between his teeth, reached his right hand into the hole, and tried to pull imself up again, But disaster, bitter and complete, followed that atternpt. His numbing hand failed to hold under the train, and he lipped all the way back to his shelf. Something rang sharply against the ice wall, far below hint. (To be continued.) CHA ITER XXIII. In a little while Ned stripped the pelt from the warm body on the wolf mid continued down his line of traps. He was able to think more coherently now and consider methods and details. And by the same token cf clear thought, he was brought face to face with the fact of almost insuperable obstacles in his path. Plans for freedom first of all seem- ingly had to include Doomsdorf's death. That was the firstessential, and the last.

The cut-off would save him the an- noyance of making camp after dark. And since he had climbed it once be- forehe scarcely felt the need of extra eaution. The crossing, however, was not quite the same as on the previous occasion. Before the ice had been covered, com- pletely across, with a heavy snowfall, no harder to walk on that the open barrens, He soon found now that the snow prevailed only to the summit of the glacier, and the descent beyond the summit had been swept clean by the winds. Below him stretched a half -mile of glare -ice, ivory white like the fangs of some fabulous beast of prey, Here and there it was gashed with crevices —those deep glacier chas.ns into which a stone falls in silence. For a moment Ned regarded it with consid- erable displeasure. He decided to take a chance, He removed his snowshoes and ventured carefully out upon the ice. It was easier than it looked. His moccasins clung very well. Steadily gaining confidence, he walked at a faster pace. The slope was not much on this side, the glacier ending in an abrupt cliff many hundred feet in height, so he felt little need of espe- cial precaution. It was, in fact, the easiest walking that he had since his arrival upon the island, so he decided not to turn off clear until he reacher] the high ground just to one side of the ice cliff. He crawled down- a series of shelves, picked his way about a writer (who has just been turnocl jagged promontory, and fetched up at down)—"But perhaps you could use scarceell the edge of a dark crevicey fifty feet from the edge of last this article if I were to boll it down.' i Editor—"No good at all, If you were the snow, 1,0 take a gallon of water and boil it The crevice was not much over five /]own to a pint, it would atilt be feet 'd at this point and looping CHIC SCARF NECKLINE An enchanting frock of tomato red silk crepe 'self -trimmed, with neckline softened .'by searf collar with long loose ends failing over shoulders and reaching almost to hem at back, which contributes new smartness.
