Lenore remains with the squaw. 'When Lenore is told of plans for an escape from the island she treacherously tells Doonlsdorf. 13ess and Ned start to walk out on the ice. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. Instinctively Ned's arms went about her, pressing her close; and tremulous with this ghost of haziness, the high- born strength of woman's love surged through her again, more compelling than ever before. Once more her pur- pose flamed, wan and iim at first, then slowly brightening until its ineffable beauty filled her eyes with tears. Once more she saw a course of action whereby Ned plight have a fighting chance for life. Her first plan, de- nied her because of Ned's refusal to lead faster than she could folkw, had embodied her own unhappy death from r hope we have by doing such a foolish thing as that—" wondering, fiiystified" by her •`:ear- nestness, half inclined to believe that she was at the verge of delirium from cold and exertion, his arms tightened about her and he gave her -his promise so that she might. rest. "Of course I'll do the wise thing," he told -her. "The only ' hing l" Her strong little arms responded to the embrace, and slowly, joyously she drew his face toward hers. "Then kiss one, Ned," she told him, soberly yet happily, as a child might beg` a kiss at .bedtime. ' Her love for hint: welled in her heart. "I want youto kiss me good night' Slowly, with all the tenderness of his noble manhood, he pressed bis lips to hess. "Good night, Bess," he told 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 abouther held her lips to his, and thus they ' lay, forgetting the wastes of ice about them, for the mo- ment secure from the cruel forces that had hounded them so long. The wind swept by unheard. The fine snow drifted before it, as if it meant to the simple burning up of her life forces from over-exertion; but this that occurred to her now was not so merciful. It might 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 her face, trying to pi:rce tha pressing gloom and behol' Ned's. - "I want you to promise me some- thing, Ned," she told hint 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 - doll almost overtook us—and you saw that he could seize me—but you could escape—I want you to promise that you won't writ" "To run off and decmrt you—" "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 nye, but you'll have a good chance to go to safety. Oh, 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 yo a seethe thing to do would be to keep on—with the hope of coming out at last—and then getting up an expedition to rescue me?

He could not aid her, ,and yet in one mon nt more he had launched forth on her trail, faster than he had ever mashed 'before. He had no inward battle, no Sense of sacrifice. There; was: not even a temptation to take the way of, safety: In tiled* last months he had been lifted far 'beyond the reach of any such feeble voice as. that. ,T1e sped ads fast as he could along the dim trail she had made.

She -had guessed right as to. Dooms doff. Catching–sight of tier;. he had left their double trail to overtake her. Hoping and believing that Ned bad taken his chance of safety and was fleeing eastward, she was leading his enemy :ver farther and farther north, away from him.' . He 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 thele was in self-pity. They were all for the slight figure of the girl, trying to save 'him, :runldng so hopelessly from the brute who was even now upon her. • Guarding them with his rifle, he pointed them their way. .A moment later he saw her slip on the ice, and in 'dread silence,- Dooms- dorf's arms went about her. Neither of therm had apparently observed Ned. They only became aware. of him as his great shout, half in rage, half in de- fiance, reached them across the ice. Even at the distance that separated them the startled movement of Dooms- dorf'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 coward him. Then whilehe. held CIO 'girl prone on the'ice with his great knee, Doomsdorf'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, hisfacultiesin perfect con- trol; and he knew he must not attempt: resistance now. Only death lay that way; at that range Doonlsdorf 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 never, 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 flim. 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 snood even for this. "Wait where you are," he ordered simply, "or I'll blow your, head off. I'll be ready for you in a minute." He bent, and with one notion jerk- ed Bess to her feet, Then in silence, still guarding them with his rifle, he pointed them their way -hack -to his cabin on the island. - It - was a long and hitter- march across that desolate ice. Except for a share of his pemmican that Doonms- dor£ distributed, for expedience rather than through any impulse of mercy, Bess could have hardly lasted, (To be continued,) . cover thein and neve, yield them tip .again. The dimmer stars faded and vanished into the recesses of the sky. The cold's scourge was impotent now. 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 l eal. 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 hien close as she ceuld, "1 lo -e you, Ned," she whispered. "Whatever I clo—it's all for love of yota." Then, very softly so as not to waken hint, she slipped out of his embrace and got to her. feet. She started away straight north—at right angles to the direction that they had gone before. CHAPTER XXX - Ned's instincts had been trained like the rest of him, and they watched over hien while he slept. They aroused him from sleep as soon as it was light enough to pick his way over the rough ice than lay in front, yet as if in realization of his physical need of rest, not an instant sooner. He sprang up to find the dawn, gray over the ice- bound sea. But the iniraele of. the morning, even the possibility that Doonlsdorf had made time while he slept arid was now almost upon him did not hold his thought an instant. His mind could not reach beyond the tragic fact that he was alone. Bess was gone, vanish- ed like a spirit that had never been in the gray dawn. Her last words swept through his memory. They gave hint the keys his deductions followed swift and sure by the process of remorseless logic. in a single moment he knew the dreadful truth: Bess had not gone on in the ex- pectation of Ned overtaking her, thus saving a few moment of his precious time, She had not gone east at all. She knew the stars as well as he did: shewould have never, except by some "Havey ems had many, proposals?" "Thousands of 'ens."' - "And 'What did you tell tilenl?" "Just What I'm going to tell you."

Cub is Center of Attrac- tion in the Old Capital London.—Gus is causing trouble again! Gus, in case you don't know, is the :most important nuisance in the whole .London Zoo. He is one of the three offsprings of Doris and Pat, who are the proud parents of tlle'first lion cubs to be born in the Zoo for six years. Gus is wooly and soft, but as he is the only "man" in the new favmily he spends his title showing he knows it. The other two cubs are mere sisters without any progressive ideas, but Ons has already shown a hankering after his first real bone. All Gus got was his first real spanking, adminis- tered fro nithe paw of Mr. Pat Lion— which is one of the reasons why cubs leave home. Happy Family Now they are al once again the Zoo's happy family., as Gus is resigned to drinking milk until time time arrives when he will grow into a fine healthy loan -eater like his ancestors before him. • In the meantime hundreds of people have heard of the new arrivals and have tried to see them. It is far easier to interview the Governor of the Bank of, England than see those cubs. Belmind, the Cages, built on the floor • of:the passage, the family has a secret nursery of its own.. It is here that Pat sits contentedly toying with a bona while Doris minds house. It was here also. that the irrepres- sible Gus first showed 'he was a man by trying to steal his father's meat, and when he was disappointed, tried to hew hislittlesister's ears. - A special menti of red meat, which is the envy of all the childless lions in the Zoo, is being given to Pat, while Doris is waited on by "I{eeper' 3i11" as if she. were a princess.
