J CIIJGIIT I\ THE WILD By Robert Ames Bennet SYNOPSIS Allen Garth is preparing to mak a trip to a mine which he has discov .ered in the Canadian Northwest wh an aeroplane appears at the little re fueling station and an elderly man a young man and a young woririi alight. The two men who are looking fo mining prospeets, become much in terested in some specimens of or shown then, by Garth. They are a ra'r'.ier haughty, especially the girl and treat Garth like. a servant, but he shows his independence and' does- n't allow himself to be ordered about They decide to take .Garth in their' aeroplane to inspect his mine and if it turns out to be worth woilking to take a lease for a year and give him sixty percent. of the output. Garth leads them to his claim and Huxby professes to think that he might have salted it. After some digging, which is done by Huxby— and some consultation by Huxby and Ramill, Garth feels that they are convinced of the poten- tial wealth of the nine. The party proposes to go back to the flying ma- chine for lunch, Huxby saying he will come back and do some more digging. They suggest that probably Garth does not wish to come back with them and he says he will take a trip up the mountain side while they are gone. But Garth is suspicious of the he two men, so as soon as e gets out of sight he makes for the flying uta - chine, takes a part from the engine and disappears again. The party conies, up to the machine in frantic haste, the elderly millionaire being almost exhausted by the speed at which they hare hurried him along. Just as they were about to take off Garth walks out of the brush and wants to know what is the matter and Huxby covers him with his pistol and tells him to place his gun on the wing. It is evident that they intend to fly back to the Mackenzie and leave him. Garth places his gun as ordered, then unties and rope holding the plane and stands holding it while Huxby tries to start the engine, which would not go. He then tells them that he has 'the part of the engine in his pocket but will not allow them to come near h i ns until a 11 a r e out. He then lets the plane go, fling- ing the line out into the water and it drifts down stream towards a falls. When they see the plane is doomed and realize that they are in his poses et' Mr. Ramill says they will do just as he says if he will lead then back to the Mackenzie. Garth shoots a noose and prepares food for the' company, which they are hungry enough to enjoy. Miss Ra - mill, although still very disdainful of Garth, is brought to the extremity of slicing off a piece of :noose liver and cooking it over a fire for her supper. e en n Jan e lz cessary. Her father had gone over to Garth. . Even Huxby had failed her. She could not believe her fi- ance a coward. He' was undoubtedly brave in his way. Garth had admit- ted as pinch. He had called the en- gineer a wolf, not a fox. She sensed that the discretion shower by her 'flan ee was a matter of cool craft. Not wolfish, of course. He would bide his time, and outwit the down—the jester who had trap- ped thein in this frightful wild val- ley: .The rub was over for Garth. Miss Ramill's surrender meant that he was his back and basked. Within a few now the acknowledged master of the minutes he drowsed off. ' Garth let party. Huxby had also admitted the hint nap a long two hours, then start- fact by going off; instead of follow, ed him on up the long climb.. ing up his implied threat of attack.' • Three hours later found them still He, however, would require watching. below the lower end of the glacier. No man of the engineer's coldly Garth at last called a halt to the calculating character would stop at climb. He headed back; anything, when the stakes of the Going downhill, Mr. Ramill could game meant a placer worth a million have r•un, se far as wind was concern- or more. Mother Nature could now ell. IIe had only to put out a foot be counted on to keep the spoiled, and let himself down. At first ev- heiress in line. But the Wild would only sharpen and intensify the engin- eer's craft "and avarice. After eating his fill, Garth took to Huxby's bed, beside the smudge -fire. He wakened to find that the sun had' taken its northern dip and was just slanting up againabove' the mountain crests. It had been under much long- er than in June. The' summer was getting well along. Huxby had stayed on watch to keep the fire going. He met Garth's off- hand good morning with a show of civility. His cool reasoning h a d brought him to the realization, that nothing was to be gained by upstag- ing the jester. Garth gave ever the moss and spruce -tip shake -down to the sleepy engineer, and went to cut two rounds of bark from one of the largest birch trees. Careful work would have meant sewing the regan seams with cord stripped from spruce roots. He merely tied the bark in its natural cylindrical shape, and closed the bot- toms with round nieces of bark laid on crossed pegs or skewers. A sin- gle skewer thrust across near the top made a handle for each improvised pail. When Miss Ramill left the leanto, he stooped in under the low roof and began to rub her father's knees and hips. The millionaire groaned that he had been stricken with a terrible attack of lumbago and rheumatism. It was impossible for him to move. erythrng was easy. The descent cal- ' led for another set of muscles from those that had been so strained com- ing up. The only trouble was his weight. His knees soon began , to weaken under the heavy down -jolt. Before long, frequent stops, to rest I became as necessary as during the ascent. Midway down to timberline, he col- lapsed, se utterly spent that he could not get up even after a long rest. Garth took Trim on his back and pac- ked hint on down to the camp, with- out a halt. NOW GO ON WITH TIIE STORY Though Garth had spoken of a climb, he first led along the lake shore to the beginning of the muskeg swamp. The bones of the abandoned wolf -mangled, moose legs had been gnawed clean by lesser meat eaters. To the vast relief of Mr. Ramill, the sire bear did not again rear up in the willows ' and roar her terrifying defiance. Garth went on to' where huge pad tracks showed on the muddy bank. The claw-markedfront of the tracks pointed away from the camp. Besides the monstrous footprints, two sets of small yet similar tracks were impres- sed in the. soft wet dirt. The grizzly mother and her cubs had gone off a- round the muskeg, as Garth had for - seen. ' Ile turned and slanted gradually up through the belt of spruce trees until the west side of the trough• was reached at timberline. He stopped to look at Huxby while Mr. Ramill caught his second wind. The mining engineer gave no heed to them, He was 'hard at work panning out gra- vel, midway up to the discovery stake. Garth led across to the east side of the trough and slanted up the tundra slope towards the Tread of the glacier gulch. It was slow going. Mr.' Ramill panted from the easy climbing. He sweat from the beat of so much unaccustomed exertion in the heavy leather garments, At ev- ery few steps his wheezing for breath quickened into gasps. But after every' halt, Garth started the portly millionaire on again as soon as he. could draw a deep breath. They kept plodding • up the tundra slope until at last Mr. Ramill's legs gave out. He staggered and collap- sed. He lay, purple -faced and quiv- ering, spent. When able to speak, he gasped an appeal: "Ka -quit! 'Ull kill—me,t„ "No such luck," . Garth bantered him. ."It's only the fat. " If it was your heart, yon'd have died long be- fore this. Opens your coats and let b the sun soak in." The exhausted man turned flat on s CHAPTER X Mate 'Woman Huxby and Miss Ramill were feast- ing. They had pried the moose leg out of the fire stole and broken off the clay shell. The meat had baked to juicy tenderness. Even the gristle was melted into gelatine. IWhen Garth laid her father in the loanto, the girl brought a big chunk of the best meat. But the million- aire climber was too exhausted even to eat. His daughter turned upon Garth. I "Another of your damnable jokes! He's dying. You've killed hint-" Garth smiled approvingly. "So, af- ' ter all, you're capable of feeling a little concern for someone else than yourself. Boil the cup two-thirds full of water, and put in enough of 'that sweet tea to cool, it for drink - mg." "The tea is hot already. I've ke t p back Dad's share. I'll give it to him straight," 1. "You'll warns that water." 1 The mining engineer stood up. "I've 'told you to speak respectfully to Miss Ramill." I Garth paid no more attention to him than to the buzz of a mosquito. The girl Iooked expectantly at her fiance. Hestood waiting for Garth to apologize., When Garth neither re - piled nor so much as glanced around at him, the engineer's cold assurance gave way to doubt, He .turned and went down to the lake. Miss Ramill's eyes widened. She glanced from his stiff back to the buck -skin clad shoulders that had so lightly toted her father into, camp. All this had been a matter ,of se- conds. In another moment she was darting over to the rill with the tin cup. When she cameto the leanto with the almost scalding hot mixthre of boiled water and, tea, her father mut- tered, between groans, that lie did not wnlst it. "No -no! Lth-oh-h! Let me die—in peace!" I Garth heaved up the lax lead and shoulders, and held the cup' to the quivering. lips. "Drink, or° I'll pour -it down your throat." A few minutes later the dying mil- lionaire began to eat. He bolted down the juicy tender :heat until sleep overtook', hint ittthe midst of a bite. "Roll the blanket over him and let him sweat," Garth directed. - "He'll wake up a new man. I'll wager he has worked off ten pounds of fat, to say nothing of: the toxins he's burned up. Next climb he'll snake the foot of the glacier." The girl's resentment welled up a- gain. `Off ail day enjoying yoursel- ves, while I'm supposed to sit here and twiddle eny. thumbs! You know L daren't go out alone. This hor- rible place is overrun with all kinds of savage beasts. If only 1 could get those big gray dogs to' come in and make friends! They'd protect me from the wild creatures." Garth smiled. "Gray dogs! They're caribou wolves."' "Oh! and I thought thein a pair of lost police dogs! They were so wist- ful -eyed. Wolves! And I gave the pistol back to Dad. There was a sneaky snarling blackish thing, too-- and oo—and then a terrible great thing with frightful horns that jumped into the lake when I went for a dip." ' "Bull moose. They'll not be dan- gerous until the mating season. Ev- en the wolverine and the wolves were onlyafter er our meat. In another day it will be smoked enough to cache Your father's shoes are already be- ginning to go. Finish his moccasins, and you can hike with us." She hesitated, looked towards the. thicket where Huxby had disappear- ed, •gingered her engagement ring, and went to take up the half -sewn moccasin. Though spoiled she was far from eing a fool. She had begun to real- ze that to• get what she wanted, emething more than 'wishing was ne- Heedless of the plaints, Garth rol- led the complainer out beside the cold baked leg of moose. The "sick" man ate more than either his daughter or Garth. Afterwards, insistent urging and the promise of an easy work-out at last persuaded him to get on his feet. • In fulfillment of his promise, Garth kept to the lower' ground even after Mr. Ramill's stiffened muscles warmed :tip and his painful hobble eased to a mere limp. They wander- ed around through the woods, with frequent pauses in the glades. When, several hours Iater, they re- turned to camp, the birchbark pail of each was brimful. Miss Ramill had completed one moccasin and was dog- gedly stitching at its mate. Her sul- len face brightened into a smile of delight when her father tilted his birch pail above her lap. Down into the sports skirt poured a cascade of black currants and salmon berries. Huxby came down from the trough with the gold pan. Garth melted the last of the moose fat in it and fried, a heaping mess of mushrooms. For salad, he shook a quantity of pleas- antly acid sorrel from the bottom of his 'pail, With the berries for des- sert, the :meal became a banquet. While it lasted there was 'a general glow of good feeling. Even Huxby. spoke pleasantly to Garth. As before, Garth turned in at the seine time as Mr. Ramill. He wak- ened to find the first pair of moc- casins finished, The girl had met his terms. IIe gave Huxby the moss beer, and started to collect flattish stones as heavy as he could toss. When he had pitched a dozen or so up on the cache platform, he strung the smok- ed slices of meat on rawhide thongs. Raking aside the smudge -fire, he stood on the rack and tied all the neat close up under tire; cache platform.. He then climbed upon the platform and piled the stones on : the tie - thongs where they came around the poles. That would keep Wolverines or other pilferers from gnawing the rawhide to let the meat fall. No fourfooted creature could now get at the meat on the under side of the platform, and even ravens would "have difficulty stealing much of it. To complete the job, Garth pulled off the cross poles of the smoke rack. For breakfast, the party finished the baked leg of moose. As : Garth had foreseen, Itis three city camp mates had developed camp appetites. Better still, they were less irritable. Their craving for drink and tobacco had begun to lessen. All three spoke civilly to Garth. As Mr. Ramill drew on his moccasins he about out jolted going native, Huxby smiled approval when Lilith threw a- side her Ireadnet and smeared her face with the pitch and grease dope. "It will protect your skin from stun and wind, darling, as well as keep off the stinging pests," he said. • She gave him what was left of the mix. "You, too, Vivian. Your face and neck aren't quite so much like a case of measles, but you're still a sight. This balsam and cold cream may get you to looking really human again," (Continued next week.)

McCA.RTNEY Change In Educational System Coning Predicting great changes in On- tario's educational system and de- claring the department was now quie- tly working on certain new ideas, Hon. Dr. L. J. Simpson declared at Galt on Friday that the costs of se- condary education were too high, the old matriculation standard has out- lived its usefulness and the time was coming when examinations would be dropped. Iie spoke before a service club. The Minister of Education said Ise felt people were not complaining a- bout the cost of primary, education but of secondary education, and he felt they were right. There' were too many repeating' students. Under the present system the best, results were not being obtainedi for the money spent, eartairy &bungs being emphasized which were not necessary, the speaker asserted.
