NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY But the musician, sprawled on his moss-bed and reading a pocket-size novel in the original French, did net take so kindly to the suggestion. “Not me today, Dorothy,” he pro tested. ‘‘There’ll be no pleasure for me in tramping over that howling tundra. The wind’s still sharp enough so that I want a fire and ap preciate even such a lowly shelter as this. Wait till a nice day and I’ll go gladly.” The girl turned in some disap pointment- to Pete. “I guess that -■ends it,” she told him. • The guide straightened, encourag Mby her tone. “Yes—unless—un s you’d care to go with me alone.” She thought she saw a very curious, , urgent appeal in his blue eyes. “I i wouldn’t take you very far.” He waited, hardly breathing, for I her answer. She turned question , ingly to Ivan. The latter smiled dim ly and nodded his head. “I don’t see t why you shouldn’t, if you want to,” told her. Q||et an uneasy thought darkened jifiWace, and he turned sharply to pT. '.‘How far do you intend to go?” f “Not any farther than Mrs. Nvw i hall desires,” was the answer, givdn iWiih .some spirit. “I’m inclined to Llhink we can pick up a caribou with Tn a mile.” “You’ll be pretty lucky if you can. ’“‘TPs hot that there isn’t plenty of g^me—Bradford told me that—but the country is enormous.

Go ahead, Dorothy, if you like. If you want to be a huntsman bold, I don’t see why you shouldn’t.” “Then would you mind lending Mrs. Newhall your pistol?” Pete asked. “She might want to take a shot at a ptarmigan, and this bear gun of mine wouldn’t leave much bird," He spoke quietly, casually, but Dorothy did not misunderstand. At the same instant she realized that this tall, rugged man of the opens possessed those certain good man ners, that unobtrusive consideration for others, that is the ideal of good breeding." He made this request not to furnish Dorothy an arm with which to shoot ptarmigan. Both she and Ivan understood this in an in stant. He wanted to save her any uneasiness when she was alone wi‘n him in the wilds, simply to give her a deadly weapon with which she could protect, in direst need, her own integrity. The two started away very happi ly together. Pete’s blue eyes danc ed; the girl was flushed and eager, bent on; adventure. He took her up "the low hill they had climbed the previous day, then dowti into the alder-grown valley beyond. Aknoat at once they began to see the wild life that redeems even suih barren, desolate lands as this. Ptar- up, and instantly Dorothy recognized them as the most graceful creatures she had ever seen on •wings. “Would you like to try a crack al of four year® on your Bran, and already 1 have noticed a change in her. I thank you.” Name and address furnished on request.

Watson ’em?” Pete asked. “They’d go mighty well for lunch.” « But Dorothy had no killing in stinct, and she shook her head. “They’re too pretty. Os course we ll get some if we can’t find any big game.” He led her through a b v eak in the elders; and here they both halted to watch a huge, snowshoe hare. It was a droll thing to see this creature stand erect in the grass in an effort to see plainly out of his weak eyes and to distinguish the nature of these tall, strange forms such as he had never laid eyes on before. He walked back and forth on his hind legs, stretched to his full height. Then, remembering safety first— even at the expense of his inordinate curiosity—he sped away. They sped on up the next hill and down into the farther valley and to the bank of a small, swiftly flowing stream. There were signs in plenty here of the wild life that thronged the region. She saw tracks not only of fox and caribou, but a wolverine had trotted along that way in the dawn; an otter had romped on the muddy bank; and, at a crossing, she encountered a huge, almost triang ular imprint that might have been the track of some legendary man eater of bygone ages. The track was fully twelve inches [long, and sharp claws had cut doen ly into the sand. “Nothing more or less than the great Kodiak bear.” Pete explained. “Maybe you don’t know it, but this is just about the last place in the world where the big Kodiak—whose hide is sometimes 11 feet long—can still be found in any numbers. Can’t you fancy the old warrior—booming along here look ing for salmon?” But he was quick to explain that even these huge beasts would run from human beings a thousand times where once they would stand and fight; that, unlike the Alaskan brown bears of farther east and the grizzlies of the moun tains, they were practically never known to make an unprovoked at tack. Thence they folowed the stream clear up into the higher hills. Dorothy was active and athletic, yet she had to stop every few minutes fbr breath. “How far do you want to go?” she asked him in one of these rests. “I hoped to go quite a little farth ,er. We’re not more than a mile from camp, and miles is our limit. I’d rather hoped we could reach the top of the ridge. Do you want to turn back?” She looked up at the rock back bone of the ridge that still towered grandly above them—its imposing elevation manifest by scattered patches of last winter’s snows—and then into Pete’s brown face. She was a sportswoman at heart, and she flashed him a smile. “We'll plug on up,” she told him. They wentt on, and now the stream was but a silver thread far below them in the dark gully, and the gullv itself was crusted over at intervals' by last year’s snow. At last they stood at the very windy crest of the ridge. Almost at once Pete pointed out' some curious white spots, not Ito be I AM DOING ALL KINDS OF ELECTRICAL WORK NO JOB TOO SMALL OR TOO LARGE.

THOS. L. BELL j See Our Window Display THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER Indiana brought the whole fam . ily along when he came to the | Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Seated are Mr>. Watson and their daughter, Kathryn. Standing back of them Miss Helen Watson, a niece, and Joseph Watson, the son. The senator couldn’t be found when the picture was taken. notced at all by a casual glance, in one of the adjacent valleys. These were the caribou—the veritable chil iren of these mossy barrens. They did not turn to the hunt at once. Dorothy needed rest before attempting the difficult stalk at Pete’s side; so she seated herself on a grand throne of rock in the gray cliff and overlooked the country. This was ever a grim, merciless land, yet it had a quality of unearthly beauty. Far below her the wide barrens swept down to the blue sea. Behind, the ridges mounted ever higher, with a queer effect of actual procession, until at last the high, sharp, white peaks of the Aleutian Range stood flashing against the cold, gray clouds. It woul-q have been depressing, alone; and even thi- companionship of this lowly guide cheered her and consoled her.' Soon after she began the long stall: toward the caribou herd, at Pete’s side. They sped swiftly down into the valley, and then, taking shelter behind a thicket of alder, moved straight toward the animals The last two hundred yards that would bring Pete into long-rifle range had to be made with laborious stealth, taking advantage of every rise in ground and walking in a tiring, stooped position. Lying prone in the deep moss they peered over the brow of the hill. It was a very satisfying picture to Dorothy. The caribou are always (beautiful animals; and the settling of the green hillside, with the heaven reaching white peaks behind, show ed them at their best. The range, however, was about three hundred yards, a distance in which kills are made often in hunter’s tales but rarely in hunting. “If I’m going to have a chance, I’ve got to take a rest,” Pete whis pered. “I’m not an extra fancy shot—would you mind crawling around in front?” She obeyed instantly, every nerve keyed up by the excitement of the chase, and it was quite like being a mighty nirnrod herself to lie- prone on the moss and let Pete rest his rifle across her body. And the wilderness gods granted hin' success. At the rifle’s sound a young buck—a shimmering, splen did creature with horns branched but once—fell stone dead in the moss. The reindeer leaped, milled an in stant, then swept off through the valley. The two hunters climbed down, and a few seconds late Pete drew the keen blade of his hunting kmfe across the shaggy throat of the fallen animal. The carcass was then drawn, the trim feet inter locked, and Pete lifted the entire <me hundred pounds on his broad back. There was one further, minor ad venture to,that first day.pi thejW,ilf<s —but not at all concerned with rifles and death. They reached the bank of a narrow, swift stream; and Pete, who walked in front, came to an abrupt halt. He turned to her with no distin guishable expression on his bronzed face, and she stared back in return. “We’ve really got to get across this creek,” he told her. “And it’s too deep for your waterproof boots. How do you think we can manage it?” “I’m sure 1 don’t know.” The girl hid a fain’t smile. “It’s too bad you don’t feel yourself capable of carry ing me over.” He plunged immediately into the stream, laid his venison on the op posite bank, then came tramping back. He picked her up seemingly without effort. The rushing waters evidently tax ed his strength greater than she had guessed, for his nut-brown face looked somewhat drawn and pale when he put her down.
