Ned Cornet, his fiancee, Lenore }Sard- 'enworth, and Bess Gilbert, a seamstress, are shipwrecked and they take refuge on an island occupied solely by a man nam- ed Daomsdorl and his Indian wife.

Of course do the wise thing," he told her. "The gnly `hingl" Her strong little arms responded to the embrace, and slowly, joyously she drew his face toward hers, "Then kiss me, Ned," she told him, soberly yet happily, as a child might beg a kiss at bedtime. Her love for him welled in her heart, "I want you to kiss me good night." Slowly, with all the tenpressed his lipsrness of noble manhood, be pressed he told to hers. "Good night, her simply. For an instant, night and cold were forgotten, "Good night, lit- tle girl." Their lips met again, but now they did not fall away so that he could speak. There was no need for words. His arm about her held her lips to his, and thus they lay, forgetting the wastes of lee about them, for the mo- ment secure from the cruel forces that had hounded them so long. The wind NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. Instinctively Ned's arms went about her, pressing her close, and tremulous with this ghost of happiness, the high- born strength of woman's lave surged through her again, more compelling than ever before. Once more her pur- pose flamed, wan and 'aim at first, then slowly brightening until its ineffable beauty filled her eyes with tsars. Once more she saw a course of action whereby Ned night have a fighting chance for life. Her first pion, de- nied her because of Tied's refusal. to lead faster than sl'e could follow, had embodied her ow,, unhappy death from the simple burning up of her life swopt by unheard. The fine snow forces from over-exertion; but this drifted before it, as if it meant to that occurred to her now was not so merciful. It night easily preclude a fate that was ten times worse than death. Yet she was only glad that she had thought of it. She suddenly lifted Ler face, trying to piarce the pressing gloom and behol' Ned's. "I want you to promise me some- thing, Ned," she told him quietly, He answered her clearly, from full wakefulness. "What is it?" "I want you to promise—that if you see there's no hope for me—that you'll go on—without me. Suppose Dooms- dorf almost overtoek us—and you saw 'hat he could seize me—but you could escape—I want you to promise that you won't writ" "To run off and desert yon—" "Listen, Ned. Use your good sense. Say I was in a place where I couldn't get away, and you could. Suppose we became separated somehow on the ice, and he should be overtaking me, but you'd have a good chance to go to safety. 011, you would go on, wouldn't you?" Her tone was one of infinite pleading. "Would there be any use of your returning—and getting killed yourself—when you couldn't possibly save me? Don't you see the thing to do would he to keep on—with the hope of coming out at fast—and then getting up an expedition to rescue me? Prom- ise me you won't destroy what little secret purpose, turned Werth insteal. of east, He saw the truth all tonplain, She hadchosen the: direction that would ,give. Doomsdert the longest chase and take hila farthest from Ned's trail, He couldn't follow them beth. The morning light would show him that his two fugitives had eepar- ated; and eke had reasoned soundly in thinking that their enemy would pursue her; rather than Ned. ]lis lust fox het was too commanding for him to take any other course. While he puv'ened her, Ned would have :every chance to hurry on eastward to the safety of Tzar Island. Never for a moment did he even consider going on and leaving her to her fate, He could not aid her, and yet in one moment 'morehe had launched forth on her trail, faster than he had ever mussed before. He had no inward battle, no sense of sacrifice. There wasnot even a temptation to take the way of safety. In these last months he had been lifted far beyolid the reach of any+ such feeble voice as. that, He sped as fast as he could along the dim trail sho had made. The dawn, icy -breathed, soon outdistanced him, permitting him to see Bess' fleeing form before he had scarcely begun to overtake her, She was just a dark shadow at first against the stretching fields of white; but he never lost sight of her after that. With the brighten- ing dawn he saw her even more dis- tinctly. And in the middle distance, west of both of them, he saw the huge, dark form of Doomsdorf bearing down upon her. She had guessed right as to Dooms- dorf. Catching sight of her, he had left their double trail to overtake her. Hoping and believing that Ned had taken his chance of safety and was fleeing eastward, she was leading his. enemy 'ver farther and farther north, away from him. Ile was a strong man, this Cornet who had fought the North, but the bitter, scalding tears shot into his eyes at the sight of that strange, hope- less drama on the ice. But not one of them was in self-pity. They were all for the slight figure of the girl, trying to save him, running so hopelessly from the brute who was even now upon her. A moment later he saw her slip on Lim ice, and in dread silence, Dooms- dorf's arms went about her. Neither of then had apparently observed Ned. They only became aware of him as his great shout, half in rugs, half in de- fiance, reached them across the ice, Even at the distance that separated them the startled movement of Dooms- clorf'a head revealed his unutterable amazement, Doubtless he thought that Ned was miles to the east by now. The amazement gave way to boundless tri- umph as Ned walked calmly toward him. Then while he held the girl prone on the ice with his great knee, Doomsclorf's rifle made blue lightning in the air. Ned's response was to throw his arms immediately into the air in token of complete surrender. He was think- ing coolly, his faculties in perfect con- trol; and he knew he must not attempt resistance now. Only death lay that way; at that range Doomsdorf could shatter him lifeless to the ice with one shot from the heavy rifle. It wasn't enough just to die, thus taking a quick road out of Doomsdorf's power, Such a course would not aid Bess. And to Bess he owed his duty—to aid Bess, in every way he could, was his last dream. At first he had had to play the cruel game for the safe of Lenore. That obligation was past now;, but it had Weyer, at its greatest, moved him with one-half the ardor as this he bore to Bess. He must not go this route to freedom, or any other, until Bess could go with hila. He must not leave her in Doomsdorf's power. Doomsdorf watched him approach in silence. The triumphant gloating that Ned expected did not come to pass; evidently their brute master was in too savage a mood even for this. "Wait where you are," he ordered simply, "or 1'11 blow your head off. I'll be ready for you in a minute." He bent, and with one motion jerk- ed Bess to her feet. Then in silence, still guarding them with his rifle, he pointed them their way—back to his cabin on the island. It was a long and bitter march across that desolate ice. Except for a share of his pemmican that Dooms- dorf distributed, for expedience rather than through any impulse of mercy, Bess could have hardly lasted. • (To be continued.)

The hour was like some dream of childhood: calm, wondrous, inef- fably sweet. The ghost of happiness seemed no longer just a shadow, For the moment Bess' fancy believed it real. Sleep drifted over Ned. Still with her lips on his, Bess listened till his slow, quiet breathing told her that he was no longer conscious. She waited an instant more, her arms trembling as she pressed him close as sho could. "I lore you, Ned," she whispered. "Whatever 1 do—it's all fox love of you."' Then, very softly so as nob to waken him, she slipped out of his embrace and got to her feet.

MAY State Ornithologist, Illassaohueette A group of birds which are in need, of elaeouragemellt are the much -malt, gned "birds of prey " the hawks and owls, These birds are .diminishing steadily and all too rapidly; Dr, Wit- mer Stone, editor of the Ault, writer In the July, 1929,• issue of that auth- oritative Journal, "There seems no' hone for our raptorial species, It'ls• all very well to Maim that it. Is a mat- - ter of education,' but the birds will be. exterminated before we can educate - the public, especially when Game Com- missions are educating them in the' other direction, It would seem. therefore that. the case of the hawks• and owls is hopeless," And iu Birds' Lore for ,July -August, 1920, Dr, Frank M. Chapman, comments editoriallyon the fact that the pupile at a "Game Colfeorvation Institute" in New 'jer- sey killed "296 hawks and 179 owls"' during 't short period, without appar- ently making any effort either to dis- tinguish between the different species' of birds destroyed or to study their' stomach contents .in an effort to as- certain whether .they were or were - not injurious species. Recently a game protective official' asked me why we who are interested' in wild birds did not prepare some real "dope" as he palled it, upon the feeding habits of our hawks and owls, There 19 plenty of authoritative In. formation for those who wish to learn the real stauts of these birds, We do not claim that hawks and' owls destroy no song birds, game birds, or poultry, but we are certain that the damage done by many of thee, birds is very greatly exaggerated, The screech owls in my orchard kill- ed rats, house mice, field mice, and' deermice in numbers, but the only evi- dence of bird murder which 1 could' . find were remains of one starling and' one house sparrow, The long•ear• ed owl pellets I examined this winter showed skulls of sixty-one meadow mice and the sternum of one bird. Sparrowhawks in summer are almost' entirely insectivorous and in winter largely mouse -eaters, but I learned of one recently which made daily visits to a poultry yard in Now Hampshire until It was captured- (the chickens must have been pretty small), Tho osprey Is more than ninety-nine per cent fish eater, but the last issue of Bird Lore tells of one which killed tame ducks, The number of birds hawks and killed by .r,1c st species of ha w owls is negligible, though there are exceptions to all rules and, as in the case of the erring osprey, "lead pills" may become the indicated remedy its special eases, On the other hand, most hawks and owls destroy great numbers of very Injurirus rodents and' many of the birds eaten are the weak or diseased members of a flock, which are easier to catch, and which might spread disease to the other members if not destroyed. This latter point has been well brought rut in investi- gations of the statue of the red grouse in Europe, where the same attitude toward birds of prey prevails, un- fortunately, as in this country. Alaska has paid bounties recently on well over 40,000 eagles, and we In New England kill every bald eagle we can reach, with some such excuse as the (discredited) ne„epaper stories of its attacks upon children. Eagles are protected by law in Massachu- setts, as are ospreys, Sparrowhawks, screech owls and a few others, and their possession or capture is forbid- den.—Our Dumb A:,imals. Flying to Hunt Moose Fredericton, New Brunswick.—Hunr ters are flying from cities in the Uni- ted States to within a comparatively short distance of the woods in New Brunswick, where moose and deer are plentiful. A party of three recent- ly travelled by airplane from Denver, Colorado, to New York and from. there to the airport at St. John, N.B., from where they proceeded by train to the railway station nearest to the 'woods on the South Tetagruche river, Other parties of United States sportsmen are planning nights to New Brunswick for their moose hunting trips. A party from Massachusetts will fly from Boston to Moncton, N.B., on October 12th. From Moncton they will go by automobile to camps ins Albert County. Indications point to a large number of bunters visiting the province dur- ing the moose and deer hunting sea- son this year. Motor -Hogs G. R. Stirling Taylor in the -Fort- nightly Review (London) : The motor horn is a blot on our standard of Int'el- ligene. Only the dullest of dull bur- eaucrats could ever have imagined that the horn was a way of prevent- ing accidents on the roads. It is merely a temptation to a motorist to drive at a high speed on the assump- tion that other users of the highways will hear and be scared out of the way. To suggest to the thousands of thoughtless creatures who drive cars that their responsibility to their fel- low -citizens can be discharged by, pressing a horn bulb with their thumb or foot is a license to take risks. To insist on every ear carry-, ing a horn is almost as stupid as if the education authorities insisted on every boy carrying a packet of T.N.T. in his pocket.
