Lenore started to scream again. But he inflicted no further punishneent. He reached a strong hani, seized Ned's shoulder, and snatched him to his feet. Racked by pain but fully conscious, 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 and cold cut there." His voice was deeply sober. "Death, too—.ure 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 result you have to bow down and serve the, man that can!" Ned Lad no answer. The greatest fear .of his life was clamping down upon him. "That's the law up here—that the, weak have to serve the strong. I've beat iiia.

"Sit down, 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, wholy 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 them and the squaw. A single great ,chair was ieft va- cant, almost in the middle of the circle. Doomsdorf glanced once about the ,. •oin as if guarding against any possibility of surprise attack by his prisoners, then sat dawn easily him- self.

She is, translating from the vernacelar, `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 Ketchikanis 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 Skopje' group.

Her heart paused in her breast. "Maybe him got shells. He took 'em all out when he saw your canoe come in.". i, CHAPTER XIV,—(Cont'd.) She fought back the instinct to scream out her story from the door- way. At the bidding of an instinct so sure and true that it partook of a quality of infniribi:ity, she checke'i hes wild pace before she nesse l the threshold. Everything depended on Ned and the cool, strong quality of Ned's nerves. She :aught her breath M a curious deep gasp, then stepped into the room. Then that gasp became very nearly a sob. The way of deliverance was not clear. A wrinkled naive woman, an Aleut 'or an Eskimo, who was evi- dently Doormsdorf'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 unutterabl' irony. Evidently he had no suspicion of the real truth. Be 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 ether 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 inust give no sign of he: own desperation before this. stolid spew. And yet she almost screamed avi.th horror when :rhe real- ized that any second she might hear Doensdorf's step on the threshold. She glanced about till she located the Russiar's rifle, hung en the wall al- most in front of the squaw's chair. "Did you hear a shot?" she asked. With all the powers of Tier spirit, she kept her voice commonplace, casual. "Yes," Ned answered, "It wasn't anything—ev :" it?" His tone became cold, "Will you please give me a little help with Miss Hardenevorth?"

Unemployment Statistics London Times Tracie Supplement: When all reservations are made the figures of unemployment are suffici- ently formidable, but much harm has undoubtedly been done to British trade . by exaggerating their signifi- cance. At the (last annual) meet- ing of the Association (of British Chambers of Commerce) attention was drawn to the fact that the publi-" cation week after week of the state- ment that there are over a million people unemployed in this country is causing much needless concern over-, seas, as it fosters the impression that' this coantry is on the verge of sour- I mercial collapse, while there is, of course, also the danger that at home it may tend to encourage the adoption of panic legislation and unsound ex- pedients. Through no fault of the Ministry (of Labor) unemployment figures may. easily be misunderstood, and in asking it to receive a deputa- tion the association desires to discuss the possibility of adopting a' different method of calculating the number of persons unemployed each week.
