Peter Newhall. Augusta, Ga.,
flees to Alaska, after being told by
i Ivan Ishmin, Russian violinist, he
I had drowned Paul Sarichef, Ish
min’s secretary. Ishmin and Peter's
wife, Dorothy, had urged him to
flee to South America. He joins
Big Chris Larson in response to a
I distress signal at sea, forcing his
’ sea jacket upon him. Their launch
■ bits rocks.
Dorothy receives word that her
husband’s body, identified by his sea
jacket, is buried in Alaska. She ac
ccpts Ishmin’s attentions. But
Peter has been rescued. Injuries
icompletely change his apperance.
; Larson's body occupies the grave.
i Ishmin and Dorothy go to Alaska
to return Peter’s body to Georgia.
(They do not recognize Peter, who
is, chosen head guide. A storm car
ries their ship to sea, stranding
them at the grave. Next day, Peter
proposes a hunting party.
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.

we might want to leave here in a
hurry, and don’t want to wait for
you. 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-

Dorothy recognized them as the most

’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

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.
