BEGIN HERE TODAY.
Ned Cornet, his fiancee, Lenore Hard-
enn•orth, and 33esa Gilbert, a seanastress,
are shipwrecked and they take refuge on.
an island occupied solely by a man nan1-
ed Doornsclort' and his Indian wife,
Dooinsdorf takes Ned and the 'girls
prisoners and introduces thein to slavery.
Lenore gains leniency from her master
through flattery. but Bess •and Ned defy
the brute and are made to work until
they fall unconscious. •
Ned and Bess, with very little help
frog.- Lenore, build a cabin and, t%.hen it
is completed, the toaster of the island
sends Ned and Bess on different trapping_
routes. 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

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? Prom-

IT'S folly to suffer long from neu-
ritis, neuralgia, or : headaches
when relief is swift and stere,
thanks to Aspirin. For 28 years the
medical profession has recom-
mended it. It does not affect the
heart. Take it for colds, rheuma-
tism, sciatica, lumbago. Gargle it
for a sore throat or tonsilitis.
Proven directions for its many uses,
in every package. Every drug store
today has genuine Aspirin which is
readily identified by the name on
the box and the Bayer cross ori

of east, He saw the trail all too plat.
alae had chosen the direction: that
would giro Doomsdol'f the longest
chase andtake hint farthest from
Ned's trail, He couldn't follow them
both. The morning light would show
hint that his two fugitives diad separ-
ated; and she had seasoned soundly
in thinking that their enemy -,would
pursue her, rather than Lied. His lust
for her. Was too commanding for hint
to take any ogler course, While he
pursued. her, Ned . would have every
chance to hurry oneastward to the
safety d Tzar Tslaid.
Never for a moment diel heeven
consider .going on and leaving her to
her fate,. 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. The dawn,
icy -breathed, soon -outdistanced him
permitting, hint to see Bess' fleeing
form -before he had scarcely begun to
overtake her, She was just a dark
shadow at first against the stretc'hiri g
fields of white; but he never lost sight
of hes ifter that, With the brighten-
ing dawn he, saw her even more. disc
tinetiy. -
And in the middle distance, west of
both of them, he: saw the huge, dark
form of Doomsdorf bearing down upon
her.
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,

.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

are the proud parents of tlle'first lion

Gus is wooly and soft, but as he is

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-

which is one of the reasons why cubs
leave home.

to drinking milk until time time arrives
when he will grow into a fine healthy
