Si Ou begin here today Peter Newhall, Augusta, Ga., flees to Alaska, atter being told by Ivan Ishmin, Russian violinist, he had drowned Paul Sarichef, Ish min’s secretary. Ishmin and Peter’s wife, Dortothy, had urged him to flee to South America. He joins Big Chris Larson in response to a dis tress signal at sea, giving Larson Jidfea jacket. Their launch hits Dorothy receives word that her husband”s body, identified by his sea jacket, is buried in Alaska. But Peter has been secued by another ship. Injuries completely chang ed his appearance, hiding his ident ity. Larson’s body occupies the grave. Ishmin and Dorothy go to Alas ka to return Peter”s body to Geor gia. They do not recognize Pe ter, who is chosen head guide. A storm carries their ship to sea, stranding them at the grave. Pe ter and Dorothy hunt. He carries her across a stream. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY ... Itl was only an incident of the trail and it disturbed her that, as she walked on toward camp,,. she could not gef it out of her mind. It did not please her that she could be moved, even vaguely and faintly by this crude, rough man of the barrens. Yet, somehow, she had been caused to think of the lover of her girlhood. Memories, tender and dear, had been quickened to life. To Pete the moment had been of nothing less than glory. He too, knew it was only an adventure of the trail, that it was but the im age of a hopeless dream that must never—could never—come true; yet.for an instant it had lifted him as with wings, out of the valley of the shadow. CHAPTER X Pete Saves Ishmin Dorothy found, to her great sur prise, that the days of waiting passed rather swiftly. She slept long in the mornings on the com fortable, rudely contrived grass mattress that F'ete had made for her; she played cards with Ivan, and made many littl e adventurous excursions into the wild with one or both of th e two white men. Ivan was consideration itself, al ways willing to beguile her with his marvelous music, wooing her with hflh'..-.se of ador, fascinating her of talk with th e intrica cies of his brilliant intellect and of ; his complex, marvelous attractive 4 personality. Yet she. owed a great deal to the head guide, to. In particular he watched out for her material com fort, superintending the prepara tion of her meals so that every cup | tfXHS J OINKUR PRESENT T~\ • 11 II I 1 CARLIN6L.DIRUU.ER VP&6UMO>.

It was not so easy to explain the instinctive comradeship she felt for him. Os course he was the one man of her Own race in the entire company, and here—far from the cities of men —bonds of race were revealed as of usrprisihg stretch. From Pete’s point of view the days went by in a single flash be tween th e curtains of night; and he dreaded to bis heart's depth the hour certain to come when the War rior would roll in on the waves and carry Dorothy out of his life. His attitude toward Ivan was too complex ever to completely straight en out in his mind. In the first place he had deep admiration and unfaltering respect for this gen iuh from the East. He was pleased and gratified by the man’s’ atti tude toward ]?orothy; his own most chivalrous instincts seemed reflect ed in the Russian. Yet sometimes a sudden, white flame, strange to his sight and puzzling to his heart mounted and paled in the thin, al most beautiful face; sometimes he was appalled and estranged by a Spark in the almond eyes, a ges ture of the white hands; and some times hp caught a fleeting expres sion oh the classic countenance that wakened, in his own heart, a sullen, almost a murderous rage. One; on bringing fresh fuel to the little camp stove in Dorothy’s tent h e found the girl in th e Russian’s arms. She had just yielded to his lips, and she was convinced—at the in stant that Pete appeared at the threshold—that in Ivan held destiny of happiness was secure. But she was instantly cold, inexplicably ap palled, as she looked into Pete’s These Triplets Born of Caesarian Operation / \ / WS-- Wp \ / a \ / | \ ’ .<<■ ' : -Z • . ' W ' \ -4 < J v . . " * gfc . / /\ " L Mrs. Ruth Dayhoff , 21, became mother of triplets at Sibley hos pital, Washington, D. C., through a Caesarian operation. This is one of the few instances in medi cal history where triplets were thus born—and all three are fine healthy babies as the pic ture shows. They are being held by Miss Gail McCauley, hospital nurse. face. She co(uld not have explained why. The man looked drawn, as in the last stages of fatigue; but there was no conceivable excuse for her sense of shame, her in ability to emerge again into Ivan’s warmth. On leaving the tent Pete walk ed straight past the camp fire on on to the hills. He was pro foundly shaken and unnerved, not from amazement at what he had seen—h e had realized that Ivan and Dorothy were virtually engag ed—but at the ‘narrow margin by which the girl had missed irevoca able disaster. It had not been by too wide a margin that he had re strained a mad, tragic impulse to leap into the tent and shatter the man’s life. He spent a restless night after the incident, and his peace of mind had departed from him. For all hat this was his last dream on earth —the only shadow of happi ness that he dared to hope for— he felt that by all conscience he must cut it short. His trust in him self was shattered and there was nothing for him now but to turn away from this camp where his love was and vanish among the des date hills. His star would soon set, the tower of his only strength was tottering. Yet the hours passed, and he lay in his bunk, un able to reach up to this sacrifice of self. But if he had lost faith in himself, a higher, better faith had come to him in these years in th e wild, and the basic prayer, the first and last cry of all mankind, came easily to his lips: “Oh, Lord,, lead me not into temptation, and deliver me from evil!’ Yet it was a higher wisdom that temptation should come to him, in an unexpected form, before the day that he saw break over the eastern hills sloped down again to darkness. the party of five had made se rious inroads in the small caribou he had brought to camp, and part ly with the idea of procuring fresh meat, and partly because he want ed to be alone with his bitter thoughts, Pete announced his in tention of penetrating the inter ior on a hunting expedition. Doro thy was lame from a stiff climb of the evening previous, so she de clined- his invitation to go. Ivan however, looked up from his book with heightened interest. “I’m getting soft as mud froci too much ease,” he said. “I be lieve I’ll go with you this morn ing. I believe I can crack down one of those caribou with my pis tol.” Pete stiffened slightly. “I don’t see how both of us can go, unless Mrs. Newhall wants to go, t 00,,” he said quietly, so not to be overheard by the two natives. ’’ 'True enough.

We’ll take the natives with us—l think it would be a good plan to kill several caribou, if we run into them, and j try to cur e them—in preparation for emergencies—and these men can help you carry the meat into camp. She’s safe enough by her self isn’t she?” “As safe as she could be any where in the world None of the wild beasts of the region will come within miles of her, and there uro no other humans.” “I’ll stay and struggle with your book then, Ivan,” Dorothy said. Soon they filed away into the Ivan leading leading with his pistol then Fete carrying his rifle, and the two Indians, unarmed except for their knives, bringing up the rear. They deployed like a squad of advancing infantrymen as they neared the first alder thicket, the two Indians remaining at the ex treme right and following a deeply worn bear trail, lik e the ruts of road, that conducted them easily through the heavy barrier of brush and Pete and Ivan seeking sep arte trails to th e left. They were in file again when they reached the more or less open hillside, but be cause of greater Skill at choosing the trail, the two natives were more than a hundred yards ahead of Ivan and Pet e was thirty yards farther in the rciar. At that instant Pete caught the unmistakable thumping sound of running caribou, and turning, he had a brief glimpse of a barren doe ,in the brush thickets behind . The animal was better than two hun jdred yards distant when Pete glimpsed her again, running in a great, arc up the hill. She made the poorest kind of a target as she leaped through the scattered clumps of brush, but eager to pro cure meat as near camp as possible and not to miss any chances, and perhaps slightly startled and out of hand by the animal’s suddep i appearance, Pete fired vainly at every opportunity. Whether or not h e hit the animal at all he could not tell, for at the forth shot she disappeared in the thicket almost opposite Ivan. The echo of the rifle report roll ed dimmed, and was still, and the men stood in those queer, fixed at titudes that almost invariably fol low any excitement. Presently Ivan beckoned and pointed to the brush thicket beside him. “She is right here,”he called. “You must have got her that last’ shot. I hear her thrashing around” It seemed entirely probable that the deer had swept through the brush unseen and had fillen wound ed but a few yards from Ivan. Pete Ivan peered into the brush. It seemed to the head guide that as he paused, he could hear faint ly the rustle and stir in the brush ■ that came so distinct to Ivan; and he was not greatly surprised to see the latter draw his pistol and begin to fire in evident excitement. He supposed, of course, that the man was putting the finishing touches ■to the fallen caribou. No blame could be laid on F'ete that he did not call a warning; h e did not dis tinguish the real identity of the creature in the thickets until was -.. faAsL I First Baptist Church Carl W. Minor, D.

The animal that suddenly bound ed out of the thicket was a bear cub at that season, and it was squealing in mortal agony from the pistol lead. There was no danger in him; he was less than knee height and was desperately seekingly flight. But Pete knew and the Indians, appalled on the hill above, knew too, that a squeal mg cub means an enraged mother not far off. And in the wink of an eye the great, shaggy dam come roaring out of the thickets like an aval anche-straight toward the hap less Russian. Fear-ridden though she was, the she-bear could not seek flight when her dying cub cried for help.
