NOW GO QN WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIL.--(Cont'd.)
With the waves and the wind be-
hind them, Knutsen saw the gray line
that was the island slowly strengthen.
The time came at last, when his weak-
er arms were shot through with burn-
ing pain, that Ned could also make A
out. It was still weary miles away.
And there was still the dreadful prob-
ability—three chances out of four—
that it was uninhabited by human
$reings.
Soon the island began to take shape,
revealing itself as of medium size in
comparison with many of the islands
of Bering Sen, yet seemingly large
enough to support a kingdom.
Tbo boat pushed farther into the -
harbor.
But at that instant Bess, who had
Sat so quiet that her companions had
'*hongbt her asleep, uttered a ]ow cry.
For all its subdued tone, its living
note"of hope and amazement caused
both men to turn to her. Her white
lace was lifted, her blue eyes shining,
'sand she was pointing to the fringe of
'timber at the 'end of the trail in the
'snow.
"What is it?" she asked in a low
'gene. "Isn't it a man?"
Her keen eyes had beheld what
Inutsen's had missed—a dark form
half in shadow against the edge of
the scrub timber. For all that A was
less than a quarter of a mile distant,
both men had to strain to make it out.
;The explanation lay partly in the
'depths of the surrounding shadows;
partly in the fact that the foram was
absolutely without motion.
Knutsen drove ilia oars with added
foxce into the water. The boat leaped
forward; in a i}ioment more • they
;touched the bank.
Their deliverer, a great blond man
Seemingly of Northeastern Europe,
fives already at the water's edge watch -
¢ng them with a strange and inexplic-
itble glitter in gray, sardonic eyes. He
Nail a mighty, bearded man, clothed

hands on the bow of the boat. Already

denly, with 'one motion, he showed
Knutsen where he stood,
With one great lurch of Ida shout
dere he turned over the empty boat
and shoved it off into the sea, The
first wave, catching it, drove A out
mf reach. "'1 ou won't need that again,"
he said,
With a half -uttered, sobbing gaep
that no elan had heard, from his lips
before Knutson sprang to rOsena it.
In an instant he had seized it, and
standing hip -deep in the icy water, he
turned to face the blond plan on the
shore, The latter roared once with
savage mirth, a sound that married
far abroad the snowy desolation; then
he sobered, watching with buttering
eyes.
''Let it go," be ordered simply. His
right arm lifted slowly as if in in-
advertence, and rested almost limp
across his breast. Hie blond beard hid
the contemptuous earl of his lips.
Knutsen's band moved toward his
hip. In the days of the gun fights,
in the old North, it had never moved
more swiftly, in this second of need
he had remembered his pistol
But he remembered it too late. And
his great hand, though fast, was in-
finitely slow. The great arin that lay
across Doomsworf's breast suddenly
flashed out and up, The blue steel of
a revolver barrel'streakecl in the air,
and a shot cracked over the sea,
Knutsen was already loosed from
the bonds that held him. Deliverance.
had come quickly, His face, black be-
fore with wrath, grew blank; and for
a long instant he groped impotently,
open hands reaching. But the lead
had gone straight home; and there
was no need of a second shot, The
late captain of the Charon swayed,
then pitched forward into the gray
waters.
BEGIN HERE TODAY, The stranger turned with a grim,
Cornet goes on a voyage to meaning smile. "Heil," he answered
simply.
Botts Ned and Knutsen stood erect
to stare at him. The wind made cur-
ious whispers down througL the long
slit of the river valley, "deli?" Xnut
sen echoed. "Is tint its name?"
"It's the name I gave A. You'll
think it's that before you get away."
CHAPTER XIII,
'The stranger's voice was doop and
full, so far -carrying, so masterful,
that it might have been the articula-
tion of the raw elements among which
he lived, rather than the utterance of
human vocal chords. not that of
His accent was plainly
an American. He had not beenborn

e
had learned A, thoroughly and labor-
iously.
He was dressed from head to foot
in furs and skins of the most rare and
beautiful kinds, His jacket and trou-
sers seemed to be of lynx, his cap was
unmistakably silver fox.
The blond hair grew in a great mat
about his lips ai.d jowls. His nose was
straight his eyebrows heavy, all his
features remarkably even and well-
proportioned. But none of these lesser
features could be noticed because of
the compelling attraction of his gray,
vivid eyes.

His speech, though careless and
queerly accented, had no mark of
ignorance or ill -breeding. "I told you

perfectly. Welcome to A—"
Ned straightened, white-faced. "Mr.

lapse from exposure. Will you save
that till later and help me get them

For all the creeping terror that was

curling. "Pardon my negligence," he

CHAPTER XIV.
Bess had followed the trail through
the snow clear to the dark edge of
the woods when the sound of voices
behind her caused her to turn. Neither
Dooms -weal nor Knutsen had spoken
loudly. Indeed their tones had been
more subdued than usual, as is often
the way when men speak in moments
of absolute test, Bess had not made
out the words; only the deep silence
and the movements of the wind from
the se/a enabled her to hear the voices
at all. Thus it was curious that she
whirled, face blanching, in knowledge
of the impending Crisis.
Ther after the drama on the shore
seemed to her as something that could
not possibly be true.
Except for the fact that Dooms-
dorf stood alone on the shore, it might
have been all the factless incident of
a tragic dream.
Slowly she stiffened, rallying her
factulties, fighting off the apathy of
terror. Presently her whole con-
sciousness seemed to sharpen, In an
instant of clear thought she guessed,
broadly, the truth of that tragedy be-
side the sea; that Knutsen had died
in a desperate attempt to break free
from an unspeakable trap into which
he and his charges had fallen.
It meant she must work quick. She
must not lose a single chance. The
odds were desperately long already;
she must not increase them. In an in-
stant more Doonisdorf would be glanc-
ing abort to see if his crime were ob-
served. If she could conceal the fact
that she had witnessed it, he would
not be so much on guard in the mo-
ment of crisis that was to come. Hex
body and soul seemed to rally to a
mighty effort.
She was already at the edge of the
timber. Stooping down, she made one
leap into its shelter. She was none
too soon: already Doomsdorf had look-
ed back to see if the coast were clear.
Everything 'depended on Ned, hence-
forth. She couldn't work alone. With
his aid, perhaps, they could destroy
this evil power under which they had
fallen before A could prepare to meet
them. Doonisworf's cabin a long, log
structure on the bank of a dark little
stream—was only a hundred feet dis-
tant in the wood. Now' that she was
out of sight of the shore, she broke
into a frenzied run.

The princlpls that gloves of a die•
tinctive color slionld be worn by blind
persons in the streets to make them
readily recognizable to automobile
drivers and others, was accepted re
cently at a meeting of the 1Prencli;
Canadian Blind People's Association,
More than a hundred blind people
were present at the .ri>)°eting.
A. bieitleur explained briefly the
purpose and work of the 'institution
and thanked the public for their gene
erous support of the movement,
M. Allard brought up the question
of the protection of blind parsons who
have to go through the busy city
streets without a geld°. It was der'
fain, he said, that drivers would take
the greatest care not to hurt them,
but it was necessary tbat the drivers
should know that a particular person
was Handicapped. He suggested
therefore that gloves of a particularly
bright color be officially selected as
the mark of a blind person, A resolu-
tion endorsing this suggestion was
unanimously adopted.
