TWHEN Nancy and Nick awoke and
discovered that the Eskimo’s hut
had disappeared, and with it the
good fellow who had called himself
Ishtu, they missed the carved box
that held all their charms.
“It wasn’t Ishtu at all,” declared
Nick, blowing upon his cold »fingers.

must have been that wicked old Bo
badil Jinn who is trying to prevent us
from going any further on our jour

could wish ourselves into a warmer

his dogs on us?” cried Nancy fear
fully.
But Nick spoke up with more brav-1

“Don’t you see? We’ve lost our

How else could certain things have

A bright light appeared to the little

the smiling features of a beautiful
