He couldn't` call it happiness. It wasn't that, un- less the mood that follows the hearing of wonderful music is also happiness. Perhaps that was the best comparison, the passion he felt was something like the response made to `great music. There hacl been times at the opera, when all conditions were exactly fav- orable, that he had felt the same, and once when he had heard Fritz Kreider. playa. Handel's "Largo.'. , It was a strange reaching and groping, rather than happiness, It was a stir and thrill that touched the most secret chords of his beieg.. He felt it most at night when the great, white northern stars wheeled through the heavens. It was good sueh times the sea was lost in mystery. The truth was that Ned, by the will of the red gods, was perceiving something of the real spirit of the North. A sensitive man to start with, he caught Something of its mystery and wonder of •which, as yet; Lenore had no glimpse. And the result was to bring him to the verge of a far- reaching discovery: that of his own weeklies's. He had never admitted weakness before. He had always been so sure of himself, so complacent, so 'self-, sufficient. But curiously these things were dying within him. He found himself doubting, for the first time, the success of this northern adventure. Could he cope with the realities that were beginning to press upon him? Would not this northern wilderness show him up as the weakling he was? For the first time in his. life Ned Cornet knew what realism was.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY There was such a little group of them, only eight in all. The ship was a mere dot in the expanse of blue. Around them endlessly lay the sea, swept by unknown winds, cursed by the winter's cold, like death itself in its infinity and its haunting fear. The life they had left behind was already shadowed and dim: the farewell shouts, the laughter, the'gaiety, the teeming crowds that moved and were never still were all like something imagined, unspeakably far oft. Only -the sea and the sky were left, and the craft struggling wearily, ever farther into the empty -North. Lenore found herself oppressed by an unreasoning fear. Realities were getting home to her, and she was afraid of them.. It would have been wiser not to conte, yet she couldn't have told why. The launch was wholly comfortable; she was already accus- tomed to the cramped quarters. The men of the crew were courteous, Ned 'the salve devoted lover as always. The thing was more an instinct with her; such pleasure as the trip offered could not compensate for an obscure uneasi- ness, a vague but ominous shadow over her mood and heart that was never lifted. Perhaps a wiser and secret self -within the girl, a subeon-1 sciousness -which was wise with the knowledge of the ages before ever her being emerged from the germ plasm was even now warning her to turn. back. It knew her limitations; also it knew the dreadful, savage realm she had Glared to penetrate. The North would have nomercyon. her if she were found unworthy. Perhaps in her heart she realized that she represented all that was the antithesis of this far northern domain. She was the child of luxury and ease:- the ase: the tone and spirit of these wintry seas were travail and desolation. She was the product of a generation that -knew life, only as a structure that men's civilization had built; . out here was life itself, raw and naked, strip- ped and bare.: She was lawless, undis- ciplined, knowing no code but her own desires; all these seas and the gray fog -laden shores they swept were the iron grip of Law that went down Lenore found herself oppresse an unreasoning fear.

But here these things mattered not at all. Neither an- cestry nor social position could save her should the winter cold, hinted at already in the bitter frost of the dawns, swoop down and find her un- protected.

He wished he hadn't been so sure of himself, that he had taken greater pains, in his wasted years, to harden and train himself., Perhaps he was to be weighed in the balance, and it was increasingly hard to believe that he would not be found wanting. In such a mood he recalled his father's words regarding that dread realm of test and trial that lay some- where beyond the world: "some bit- ter; dreadful training camp for those that leave this world unfitted to go on to a higher, better world." He had scorned the thought at first, but now he could hardly get it out of his mind. It suggested some sort of an analogy with his present condition. These empty seas were playing tricks on his imagination; he could cpnceive that the journey of which his father had spoken might not be so greatly different than this. There would be the same desolation, the sante nearness of the stars, the emptiness and mys- tery, the same sense of gathering, im- pending trial and stress. (To be continual.) to the roots of time.
