SYNOPSIS
As Alan Garth, prospector. Is prepar
ing to leave for his mining claim in
the Far North, a plane lands at the
airways emergency station. In It are
Burton Ramill, millionaire mining mag
nate; his daughter, Lilith; and Vivian
Huxby, pilot and mining engineer. Be
lieving him to be only an Ignorant
prospector thr men ofTer to make an
air trip to Garth’s claim, although they
refer to his samples ot platinum-bear
ing ore as nearly "worthless." Lilith
Ramill, product of the Jazz age. plainly
• hows contempt for Garth. Through
Garth s guidance the plane soon
reaches the claim site Huxby and Ram-
111, after making several tests, assure
Garth his claim Is nearly valueless, but
to "encourage" young prospectors they
■ re willing to take a chance in invest
ing a small amount. Sensing treachery
ahead, Garth secretly removes a part
from the motor of the plane Huxby
and Lilith taunt Garth, but their tone
aoon changes when they try to start
the plane. Returning to shore they try
to force Garth to give up the missing
part. Garth manages to set the mono
plane adrift and the current carries It
over the falls. He points out that he
Is their only hope In guiding them out
of the wilderness. Garth begins the
work of preparing for the long journey.
He Insists that the others help. Ramill
and his daughter must bn hardened for
the hardships ahead in their trek to
the outpost on the Mackenzie. Garth
experiences difficulties In getting his
companions Into line. An experience
with a bear helps. Returning from a
long sleep In tho woods, Garth finds
the party has stolen the tea and sugar
he has been saving for emergencies.
He makes no objection, simply pointing
out that he Is accustomed to a strict
meat diet, and thnt they are hurting
only themselves The work of getting
ready for the trip continues. Huxby
refuses to help, and works qn tho min
ing claim. Garth stores food in an Ice
cave.
CHAPTER VI—Continued
—10—
“You'll have two more days for It,”
Garth told him. ‘‘Only don’t forget
thnt an alloy of platinum and gold
weighs more than lead. You’ll he tot
ing my 00 per cent, along with the 40
for yourself and Mr. ltamill. If you
hide the loot In your pockets, you’ll
go down like a shot, first time you slip
Into n muskeg pool or quagmire. Think
of the all-around calamity that would
mean. You’d lose your life, Mr. Ramill
would lost' his Man Friday, Miss 1,111th
her tlance, and I—I’d lose my 00 per
cent."
Mr. Ramill Interposed: "It’s no joke,
Vivian. I’ve seen a strong swimmer
mink by the gold In his money-belt. A
hag can be thrown off the shoulders.
Another thing, Garth Is to receive his
three tilths of whatever you have
panned out. That is understood."
"It was his bargain," Huxby replied.
He went to gorge on the leg of carl
bon that Garth had roasted over the
fire on a twist thong of rawhide. When
he could eat no more, he hastened
hack to the placer trough to resume
his panning.
The others had already feasted upon
the tender venison, that was self hast
ed In Its delicious fat. Lilith and her
father had helped Garth pack It, with
more meat and the skins, down the
long slope from the glacier.
Before sundown, Garth set several
rawhide snares, each attached to a
pair of downbent saplings. For halt,
he used raw pieces of caribou flesh.
The beasts of the valley had never
been trapped. When, at sunrise, he
went the rounds of his snares, he col
lected a lynx, two red foxes, a wolver
ine, and a wolf.
Garth did not reset tile snares. Tie
had more skins than tie needed. From
the wolf-hide he made a knapsack for
Slushy. The fox skins furnished small
er hags for Mr. Ramill and Lilith.
At the second sunrise, Garth bun
dled the lynx and wolverine pelts and
a quantity of catgut with the cari
bou skins.
Huxby eyed the bundle Ironically.
"Mr. Ramill told me about your cari
bou parka talk. I take It, you aim
to go back and live among the Eski
mos.”
i "I might do worse," Ggirth replied.
“Here’s your wolf packhag. Load our
metal, and slant up from the placer.
We’ll meet you at the glacier.”
' At Mr. Ramlll's nod, the engineer
took the knapsack and started off.
Garth put the small aluminum pot and
the tin cup in the millionaire's bag.
He drew his blanket from the leanto
to strap It on his pack-board with the
bundle of skins.
Lilith Ramill crept Into the leanto
for the last time. She came out with
the pouches of salt and tea. Neither
had been opened since Garth put them
In her care, nfter the wasteful eating
up of all the sugar.
Her worn boots lay at the foot of
the leanto. She had on her moose-
hide moccasins and lynx-skin leggings.
As she hacked from under the low roof
she picked up the boots and eyed them
with amused contempt. They had been
fit only for show, not for use. But
when she flung them down, Garth
added them to his pack, along with the
last small pieces of the moose hides.
"We might sew on rawhide soles,”
he said. “Now—all set. How about
you, mates? Ready to hit the trail?"
The girl showed the whisky flask
that he had left in her father's care.
It was full of fly dope—spruce pitch
mixed with caribou tallow. She put
the flask into her foxsldn bag, along
with the pouches of tea and salt.
Mr. Ramill was already walking off.
Garth had made a tump-line for his
pack. As he fitted the band across his
forehead and stood up, rifle in hand,
he glanced over his shoulder at the
girl.
She turned and met his glance. Her
lips curled In their old scornful smile.
"What are you waiting for? Aren't
we ever to get out of this beastly val
ley ?"
He started off without any reply but
with a glow of exultance under his
outward show of indifference. Lilith
Ramill thought she was about to
escape from the Wild.
He had promised to guide them all
to the Mackenzie. The probabilities
were now in favor of even her father
making It. The girl would go back to
what she called civilization—to luxury
and self Indulgence, to Jazz and night
clubs—the vapid pursuit of sensation.
Yet a part of her would linger be
hind in this lost valley of the deso
late subarctic Rockies. She had eaten
of wild meat; she had smelled the tang
of smoke from man's first friend, the
camp fire. She had come face to face
with the Primitive—and had lived It.
The real woman of her had awak
ened—had thrust aside the superficial
self whose world was made up of arti
ficiality and dissipation. She had been
compelled to face the raw realities of
Life. And there were weeks more of
it to come.
Fortunately, she had already been
hard. Now she was fit. Under the
smear of mosquito dope, the lines had
smoothed from her face. The drawn
look had disappeared. Instead of the
scarlet of rouge, her lips were cherry
red with healthy natural color. She
had gained weight. Her body now
looked loan rather than emaciated.
As Garth overtook the girl’s father,
he eyed him with a smaller yet no less
genuine satisfaction. For every pound
gained by the daughter, the father had
been rid of three or more. Though
still far from hard, the millionaire had
worked and sweat into vastly better
condition than at the start of his
training.
Huxby did not come Into sight, out
of the placer trough, until the others
were well up the tundra slope, half
way to the glacier. That gave Garth
an excuse to tell Lilith to ease her
father along while Huxby was closing
up with them.
Garth himself swung briskly ahead.
So far, nothing had been said to Hux-
by about the cache cave in the Ice
tunnel of the glacier stream. He knew
only that the caribou carcasses had
been put on ice.
The one thing of which Garth felt
most certain regarding the engineer
was that lie would never give over try
ing to get the platinum placer until
every possible scheme had been balked.
Mr. Ramill might quit, lie already
possessed a fortune.
But Huxby was still a relatively
poor man, and he had now made cer
tain that the placer was worth at
least a million dollars. Behind his
polished front, lie was no less un
scrupulous than his millionaire part
ner, ail'd lie was absolutely cold
blooded.
Among the cards that the future
was to deal in the game, the ice cave
might prove to be anything from a
two spot to an ace. If the play should
shift hack to the valley, a cache full
of meat would most benefit the player
who knew about It. No less so, the
caribou skins. In any event, it would
do no harm and might prove of ad
vantage to leave Iluxby in doubt re
garding the location of the cache.
Lilith made the last climb to Garth
without effort. But Huxby plodded
up almost as winded as Mr. Ramill.
He lowered from his shoulders the
small but heavy load in his wolfskin
knapsack. The chunks of frozen cari
bou meat beside the bulky blanket-
wrapped bundle on Garth’s pnekbourd
drew his displeased attention.
“You can’t expect me to carry any
of that venison. I’m no pack jack of
the woods. Forty pounds is quite
enough to suit me.”
Garth hefted the wolfskin sack.
“My guess Is forty-five. Figuring
roughly, that makes forty-one troy
pounds, or four, ninety-two troy ounces.
Call it five hundred even. Platinum
is around sixty dollars an ounce troy.
The values of the alloy will average
at least thirty. That gives us a total
of say, fifteen thousand dollars. Not
so bad for a few days’ panning."
Huxby’s face showed that this was
no news to him. For all his cool self-
control, his fingers clutched tight
hold of the wolfskin as he drew it out
of Garth's careless grasp.
Ever since coming Into the valley
he had spent the greater part of every
long day scratching spots all over the
great placer claim and panning sam
ples of the gravel. Fifteen thousand
dollars was no fortune. But If a few
score panfuls of grassroot dirt could
yield that amount, there could be no
doubt of the vast treasure beneath.
Even If bedrock lay at a shallow
depth, the platinum placer was worth
at least a million dollars.
Though Garth smiled at the engi
neer’s betrayal of cupidity, he took
note of It as an additional warning.
He had said that Huxby was a com
monplace wolf. But any wolf is apt to
be deadly when ravenous.
Garth's sideward glance caught an
amused twinkle in Mr. Ramlll’s shrewd
eyes. The hard training had put the
millionaire !n better health than he
probably had enjoyed for many years.
Also, his mind was bigger and better
poised than that of his prospective
son-in-law. He could smile with Garth
over iluxby’s obsession—smile and
put aside all thought of the placer
until in a position to take it from its
discoverer.
Lilith saw the situation from a
still different angle. She opened the
wolfskin sank to peer inside. At sight
of the nodules, she dropped the flap,
with a look of disgust. Mere value
meant nothing to her. The alloy
looked dull and uninteresting.
“Worth only fifteen thousand dol
lars’” she bantered her fiance. "You’ve
dug dirt all this time for a trifle like
that, and lugged it all the way up
here. Don’t tell me you’re so dumb
that you plan to pack it for the weeks
Alan says we’ll need to get back to
the Mackenzie. Forty-five pounds of
that stuff—how silly! From what
Alan told us, we may have all we can
do to carry ourselves on this cross
country hike.”
“With my blanket and the meat
that’s in it, I’m starting off with some-
think like two hundred pounds," Garth
said. "Game was scarce on the other
side of the pass when I went out the
other time. The weight of our inetal
in meat may be worth more than the
fifteen thousand dollars. Let Iluxby
choose which he prefers to pack.”
The engineer compromised by shov
ing one of the twenty-pound chunks of
caribou meat Into the sack, on top of
the metal. This left a second chunk
of equal weight. Lilith bent over to
put it in her own sack.
“Igiy off," said Garth. “It Is bis
choice. Besides, frozen meat soon
// //«
'Alan Garth, You're a Man. 1
spoils when it thaws. Fall Into In
dian file. Here goes.”
He backed up to his boulder-
perched pack, slipped the tump-line
over his forehead, and started up the
great cleft as if his 200-pound pack
weighed no more than Huxby’s 65
pounds of meat and metal.
He halted only when the other men
were compelled to stop for breath.
Huxby, though carrying a load only
a third the weight of Garth’s, had
soon begun to strain and puff as hard
ns Mr. Ramill. He was larger than
Garth and seemingly stronger-muscled.
But he lacked Garth’s wind and en
durance and the knack of back-pack
ing. At every halt he sank down on
the ice or a moraine stone, panting.
Garth merely eased his back-break
ing pack upon a boulder, slipped the
tump-line from his forehead, and wait
ed for the other men to recover. Lil
ith Ramill’s pack was too light to
hamper her. She climbed with the
agility of a goat.
In places the pitch of the glacier
became too steep for ordinary climb
ing. Garth had to draw his belt-ax
and chop foot holds. The last of these
steep rises was far up towards the
head of the pass.
The remaining distance to the sum
mit was not so steep, and there were
no dangerous crevasses. Garth made
the climb at a swinging pace. He was
halfway down before he met Huxby
plodding slowly upwards with Mr.
Ramill. The engineer looked at him
with cold-eyed rancor.
Mr. Ramill panted a wistful ques
tion; “Wh-when—do we—eat?"
“At the top. Take your time.”
Lilith had chosen to wait for Garth
down where he had left them all. His
pack lay on the snow below the boul
der upon which he had set It. She
pointed her slender finger at the fallen
bundle.
"I tried to find out if you were lying
about the weight I couldn't even lift
one end. But you see how the top of
the stone slopes. The beastly tning
slid off.’’
“That’s all right, Miss Ramill. Easy
enough to up-end it again.”
"Easy 1” Her blue eyes glowed with
an odd light "You carried Dad back
to camp that day. But it was down
hill. Now—to pack this frightful load
all the way up here! Alan Garth,
you're a man !”
“Well, It's a hit of a stiff pull-up,”
he admitted. "But we’ll soon make
the downslope. I left the knife on the
knapsack. Go up and slice that cari
bou meat.”
The girl whom her own father could
not command met the order with a
cheerful nod. She started briskly off
up the gap. Garth’s steady climbing
brought him to the top of the pass a
few paces behind Huxby and Mr.
Ramill. Lilith was sprinkling salt on
slices of the raw meat.
The pass was barren even of cari
bou moss. The meat had to be eaten
cold or uncooked, or not at all. Six
hours had passed since the party left
the camp in the valley bottom. After
the long, hard climb, even the girl was
hungry enough to have eaten rawhide.
The caribou meat was tender, and the
first taste of salt since the party had
come to the valley turned the meal
into a feast.
Less than half of the 20-pound chunk
of caribou remained by the time even
Mr. Ramill found he could eat no
more.
All were so refreshed by the food
and rest that no one objected when
Gartli gave the word to start on. There
would be no more slogging up-hill,
with lungs bellowsing for air. One
would only have to hold back.
But that was the rub—the holding
back. The south side of the pass was
far steeper than the north, and there
was no glacier to offer stretches or
smooth footing. The bed of the sharp
ly tilted cleft frequently dropped over
small cliffs. Between these high ledges
were slides of frost-shattered rocks.
Patches of ice here and there made the
footing doubly treacherous.
In places Garth had to drop his pack
down before him. Not infrequently,
even Lilith had to be given a hand
down slippery chutes, or caught in
Garth’s upraised arms when Huxby
lowered her off the edge of a sharp
drop. Still eftener, her father had to
be helped by both Garth and Huxby.

Shovel-Tusked Elephants
Used Big Jaws as Dredge
Nature never made any real me
chanical steamshovels except indirect
ly through her agent, man, but 20,000,-
000 years ago, before the Gobi desert
had reached its present barrenness and
before man had put in his appearance
on earth, she had a creation far more
remarkable. It was an animated
dredge—a great elephant whose tusks
had taken the form of shovels extend
ing from a scoop-like lower jaw. These
mastodons dredged the muddy bottoms
of prehistoric swamps for water lilies
and other swamp growths which
formed their food. It has been sev
eral years since their fossils were first
discovered in the Gobi desert, but in
terest has reverted to them through
the discovery and identification of
plant fossils which prove that swamps
existed in the Gobi during their time—
a fact previously doubted and which
doubt raised a question as to these
animals’ food and the purpose of their
shovel tusks. This doubt, however, is
now cleared. Other discoveries have
shown that these long-extinct elephants
also lived in America and dredged the
swamps of California, Nebraska, and
Kansas.—Pathfinder Magazine.
Spiders and Start
Spiders’ webs have many uses. With'
out them astronomers would find il
harder to make accurate observations,
The eye pieces of their telescopes ard
marked into sections by very fine lines*
which are really pieces of web held in
place by spots of varnish. Webs ard
used because it is Impossible to liavd
finer as well as equally distinct lined
by any other method. There are othef
uses, too, for webs. An instrumenl
maker in York employs a man specially
to collect spiders and webs. Only a
special kind of spider is caught, thd
"eperira drademata,” which is usually
found on gorse bushes and has a crosi
on its back. The spiders are made td
wind their webs on special forks, each
insect winding about 40 feet beford
the supply gives out. These webs ard
used in the manufacture of the mosl
delicate types of scientific instruments*

Animal Prophet*
A pit-horse at Markham colliery
proved wiser than the man who drovd
It, says Tit-Bits Magazine. Suddenly,
for no apparent reason, the horse,
which had worked underground fot
seven years, bolted and refused to re
turn. When its driver returned alone,
the roof fell on him almost Immediate'
ly. Animals often sense danger and
the authorities In England know, for
instance, that pit-horses are aware of
danger long before the miners. Not
long ago, a New Forest dog pulled its
master from under the radius of an old
oak, which crashed a few seconds after
he reached safety. In Burma, where
elephants carry logs, one of these
beasts refused to cross a certain bridge
with Its load. Eventually the log4
were loaded on carts and dragged by*
bullocks, but the bridge collapsed whe$
they were halfway across.

Lesson for January 12
SIMEON’S PROPHECY
LESSON TEXT—Luke 2.25-35, 40.
GOLDEN TEXT — Mine eyes have
seen thy salvation, which thou hast
prepared before the face of all people.
—Luke 2:30, 31.
PRIMARY TOPIC — When Simeon
Saw Jesus.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Why Simeon Re
joiced.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR
TOPIC—What Jesus Can Do for the
World.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT
TOPIC—Jesus, the Hope of All Nations.
The occasion which brought Simeon
to recognize Jesus as the Messiah was
his being offered to the Lord by Mary
and Joseph. According to the Jewish
custom (Lev. 12), at the age of eight
days the male child was circumcised
and thus made a member of the cov
enant nation. In this case the child
was given the name “Jesus” which in
dicated his mission (vv. 22-24). Then
at the end of 40 days he was offered
to the Lord on the basis of the original
redemptive purpose, which was the
priesthood of the first-born, and not ac
cording to the Levitical order (Exod.
13:2; cf. 32:26). The offering in such
case was a lamb for such as could af
ford it, but for the poor a pair of tur
tle doves or pigeons was adequate.
The Savior thus came to the level of
the poor.
I. Simeon's Character (v. 25).
1. Upright. He sustained a right re
lation to his fellow men. He was
“just.”
2. Devout. He was of such a char
acter as to enjoy personal fellowship
with God.
3. Waiting for the “consolation of
Israel”—Messiah. Waiting for the ful
fillment of the divine purpose in the
coming of Messiah had a blessed effect
upon his life, inducing righteousness
a^d godliness. Waiting for the second
coming of Christ Is set forth in the
New Testament as having a salutary
effect upon believers (I John 3:3; I
Thess. 1:9, 10).
4. Under the sway of the Holy
Spirit. One thus enabled would be in
a condition to recognize the Messiah.
A spiritual mind is absolutely essen
tial in order to discern the divine pur
pose (I Cor. 2:14).
II. Simeon’s Revelation (vv. 26-28).
He was assured that he should not
die until he had seen the Lord’s Christ,
When Christ was brought to the tem
ple, the Holy Spirit upon Simeon en
abled him to discern the babe as the
promised one. Happy is the one whose
character and spiritual experience is
such that he can discern the presence
of the Lord. Truly it is in him that
we live and move and have our being.
To be in this state is to practice the
presence of God. So definitely was he
led by the Spirit that when Mary and
Joseph brought Jesus into the temple,
lie took him up in his arms and blessed
God, indicating his personal and af
fectionate appropriation of the Mes
siah as his Savior and Lord.
HI. Simeon’s Song (vv. 29-32).
This is the song known as the “Nunc
Dimittis," so named from the Latin
words with which it begins.
1. He prays for a peaceable depar
ture (v. 29). Perhaps it was more than
a prayer; it was praise to God that
now he is having a blessed departure
out of this life, having seen and han
dled the Savior. Truly blessed are
the dead who died in the Lord.
2. He praises God for a world-wide
salvation (vv. 30-32). The “Nunc Di
mittis” is the universal song, thus wide
ly differing from the “Magnificat” in
that it is wider than the Jewish hope.
Simeon saw Christ as the Light to re
veal salvation to the Gentiles. This
is the true glory of Israel. It is in
keeping with the divine purpose in call
ing and disciplining this nation to
make It the channel through which he
might bless all the peoples of the
world (Gen. 12:1-3).
IV. Simeon Blessed Joseph and Mary.
The revelation through Simeon
caused them to marvel. To have such
wonderful predictions made concerning
their Babe filled them with amazement.
His blessing contained wonderful and
even dark words of prophecy.
1. “This child is set for the fall and
rising again of many in Israel.” This
means that Christ was tof be a touch
stone—destiny would be determined by
the attitude of the people toward him.
How definitely this has been fulfilled
in the experience of that people!
2. “A sign which shall be spoken
against.” This had definite fulfillment
in Israel and is being fulfilled today
among many peoples.
3. A sword was to pierce Mary’s
soul. This perhaps refers to her suf
fering as she entered into sympathy
with his unutterable suffering as he
went to the cross, and her desolation
afterward.
The Day of Rest
God’s altar stands from Sunday to
Sunday, and the seventh day is no
more for religion than any other—it
is for rest. The whole seven are for
religion, and one of them for rest, for
instruction, for social worship, for
gaining strength for the other six.—
H. W. Beecher.
Happiness
One of the first steps to content
ment and happiness is to learn not to
begrudge other people the things they
have because you cannot have them.
