"You'll have two more days for tt."
3arthtotdh)m. "On)y don't forget
that an aUoy of ptattnum and gold
weighs more than lead. You'H be tot-
tag my GO per cent, atong wtth the 40
for yourself and Mr. RamtH. If you
htda the loot tn your pockets, you'll
go down like a shot, Brst time you slip
Into a muskeg pool or quagmtre. Think
of tho all-around calamity that would
mean. You'd lose your life, Mr. Ramtll
would lose hts Man Friday, Mtss LHtth
her Hance, and I—I'd lose my 00 per
cent."
Mr. Ramlli interposed: "It's no joke,
Vivian. I've seen a strong swimmer
sunk by the gold In his money-belt. A
bag can be thrown off the shoulders.
Another thing, Garth Is to receive hts
three-Qfths of whatever you have
panned out. That is understood."
"It was his bargain," Huxby replied.
He went to gorgeon the leg of cari-
bou that Garth had roasted over the
(ire on a twtst-thong of rawhide. When
he could eat no more, he hastened
back to the placer trough to resume
his panning.
The others had already feasted upon
the tender venison, that was self-bast-
ed tn fto deltclous fat. Ltlith 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
rawhtde snares, each attached to a
pair of downbent sapiings. For bait,
he used raw pieces of caribou tlest).
The beasts of the vaiiey had never
been trapped. When, at sunrise, he
wenttheroundsofhissnares, hecol-
lectedalynx, tworedfoies, awolver-
lne, andawolf.
Garth did not reset the snareB. He
had more skins than he needed. From
the wolf-hide he made a knapsack fnr
Huxby. The fox skins furnished smati-
er bags for Mr. Ramiil and Liiith.
At the second wiinrise, Garth bun-
died the tynx and wotverinepeits and
a quantity of catgut with the cari-
bou skins.
Huxby eyed the bundle Ironicaiiy.
"Mr. Ramill teld me about your cari
bou parka talk. I take it, you aim
to go back and live among the Eski-
mos."
"I might do worse," Garth replied.
"Hero's your wolf packbag. Load our
metal, and slant up from the placer.
We'll meet you at tho glacier."
At Mr. Ramlll's nod, the engineer
took the knapsack aud started ofT.
Garth put the steal) aluminum pot and
the tin cup In the milliocaire's bag.
He drew his blanket from the leanto
to strap It on his pack board with the
bnndie of skins.
Llltth Ramlli crept into the leanto
ftr the last time. Shecame out with
the pouches of (ialt and tea. Neither
had been opened sipce Garth put them
In her care, after the wasteful eating
up C'f 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 backed from under the low roof
she picked up the hoots and eyed them
with amused contempt. They had been
<lt only for show, not for use. But
when she flung them down, Garth
added them to his pack, along with the
iast small pieces of the moose hides.
"We might sew on rawhide soles,"
he said. "Now—ali set. How about
you, mates? Ready to hit tho traii!"
The giri showed the whisky flask
that he had left lit her father's care.
It was full of Hy dope—spruce pitch
mixed with caribou taiiow. She put
tho tlask into her foxskin bag, along
with tho poucheB of tea and salt.
Mr. Ramlli was aiieady walltitig off.
Garth had made a tump-iine for hts
pack. As hetittedtheband across his
forehead and stood up. ritie in hand,
he gianced ever his shouider at the
giri.
She turned and met his glance. Ilcr
lips curled in their oid scornful smile.
"What are you waiting for? Aren't
weevertogetoutofthisbeastiyval-
iey?"
He started off without any reply hut
with a glow of exultance under his
outward show of IniiiiTercnce. l.iilth
Ramiil thought she was about to
escape from the Wiid.
He had promised to gtiide them ali
to the Mackenzie. The probabilities
were now in favor of even her father
making it. The girl would go back to
what site cailed civilization—to luxury
and self-indulgence, to jazz and nlght-
cltiba—the vapid pursuit of sensation.
Xet a part of her wouid linger be-
hind in this lost vaiiey of the deso-
late subarctic Rockies. She had eaten
of wild meat; she had smelled the tang
of smoke from man's tlrst friend, the
camp fire. Stie had come face to face
with the Primitive—and had iived it.
The real woman of her had awak-
ened—had titrust aside the superficial
seif whose worid was madeupof arti-
ficiality and dissipation. She had been
compeiied to face the raw realities of
Life. And there were weeks more of
it to come.
Fortunateiy, she hail aiready been
hard. Now she was tit. Under tite
smear of mosquito dope, the Hues had
smoothed from her face. The drawn
look had disappeared, instead of the
scarlet of rouge, her iips were cherry
red with healthy naturaicoior. She
had gained weight. Iler body now
looked lean rather than emaciated.
As Garth overtook the girl's father,
he eyed him with a smaiier yet no less
genuinesatisfactton. For every pound
gained by the daughter, the father had
been rid of three or more. Though
stiii far from hard, themiilionairehad
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, untii the others
were weii up the tundra siope.hnlf-
way to the giscier. That gave Garth
an excuse to teil Liiith to ease her
father along white Huxby was ciosing
up with them.
Garth himseif swung briskly ahead.
So far, nothing had been said to Hux-
by about the cache cave in the ice
tunnel of the giacier stream. He knew
oniy that the caribou carcasses had
been put on ice.
The one thing of which Garth felt
most certain regarding the engineer
was that he would never give over try-
ing to get the platinum piacer until
every possibie scheme had been balked.
Mr. Ramtil might quit. He aiready
possessed a fortune.
But Huxby was stili a relatively
poor man, and he had now made cer-
tain that the placer was worth at
ieastamiliiondoiiars. Behind his
polished front, he was noiessun-
scrupuious than his miiiionaire part-
ner, and he was absolutety coid-
blooded.
Among the cards that the future
wss to deal in the game, the ice cave
might prove to be anything from a
two-spot to an ace. If theplay should
shift back to the valley, a cache full
of meat wouhl 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 Huxby In douht re-
gardiiigtheiocationof'tlie cache.
Liiith made the last climb to Garth
without effort. Hut Huxby plodded
up almost as winded as Mr. Ramiil.
He iowered from his shoulders the
small but heavy load in his woifskin
knapsack. The chunks of frozen cari-
bou meat beside the bulky blanket-
wrapped bundle on Garth's packboard
drew his dispieased 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
roughiy, that makes forty-one troy
pounds, or four, ninety-two troy ounces.
Call It five hundred even. Platinum
is around sixty doliars an ounce troy.
Tho values of the alioywili average
at least thirty. That gives us a totai
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 seif-
controi, his fingers clutched tight
hold of the wolfskin as he drew It out
of Garth's careiess grasp.
Ever since coming into the vaiiey
he had spent the greater part of every
iong day scratching spots all over the
great piacer claim and panning sam-
pies of the gravel. Fifteen thousand
dollars was no fortune. But [f a few
score panfuls of grassroot dirt could
yieid that amount, there could be no
doubt of the vast treasure beneath.
Even If bedrock iay at a shaliow
depth, the platinum piacer was worth
at ieast a miHion dollars.
Though Garth smiled at the engi-
neer's betrayal of cupidity, ho took
note of it as an additional warning.
He had said that Huxby was a cotn-
monpiace woif. But any wolf is apt to
be deadiy when ravenous. ^
Garth's sideward glance caught an
amused twinkle In Mr. Ramlii's shrewd
eyes. The hard training had put the
miiiionaire ^ better health than he
probably had enjoyed for many years.
Aiso, his mind was bigger and better
poised than that of his prospective
son-in-law. HecouldstniiewithGarth
over Huxby's obsession—smite and
put aside ali thought of the placer

discoverer.
Liiith saw the situation from a
still different angie. She opened the
wolfskin sack to peer iuside. At sight
of the noduies, she dropped the Hap.
with a took of disgust. Merevaiue
meant nothing to tier. Tite aiioy
iooked dull and uninteresting.
"Worth oniy fifteen thousand dol-
iars'" she bantered her fiance. "You've
dug dirt aii this time for a trifle like
that, and lugged It ail the way up
here. Don't tell me you're so dumb
that you p!an to pack it for the weeks

"With my blanket and the meat

said. "Game was scarce on the other
side of the pass when I went out the
other time. The weight of our metai
in meat may be worth more than the
tlffeen thousand doliars. Let Huxby
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. Liiith bent over to
put it in her own sack.
"Lay off," said Garth. "It is his
choice. Besides, frozen meat soon

spoiis when it thaws. Fall into In-
dian Qie. Here goes."
He backed up to his bouider-
pcrched pack, slipped the tump-line
over his forehead, and started up the
great cleft as if his 200-pound pack
weighed no more titan Huxby's 63
pounds of meat and metal.
He baited oniy when the other men
were compeiied to stop for breath.
Huxby, though carrying a ioad oniy
a third the weight of Garth's, had
soon begun to strain and puff as hard
as Mr. Ramiil. He was larger titan
Garth and seemingly stronger-muscled.
Hut he lacked Garth's wind and en-
durance and tite knack of back-pack-
ing. At every halt he sank down on
tho ice or a moraine stone, panting.
Garth merely eased his back-break-
ing pack upon a boulder, siipped the
tump-iine from his forehead, and wait-
ed for the other men to recover. Lii-
ith RamiU's pack was too light to
hamper her. She climbed with the
agility of a goat.
In piaces the pitch of the glacier
became too steep for ordinary climb-
ing. Garth had to draw his belt-ax
and chop foot hoids.Theiast 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 siowiy upwards with Mr.
Itamill. The engineer looked at him
with cold-eyed rancor.
Mr. Ramiil panted a wistful ques-
tion: "Wh-when—do we—eat?"
"At tite top. Take your time."
Liiith had chosen to wait for Garth
down where he had left them aii. His
pack lay on the snow below the boul-
der upon which he had set it. She
pointed her slender anger at the fallen
bundie.
"I tried to find out If you were lying
about the weight. I couldn't even iift
one end. Hut you see itow tite top of
the stone slopes. Tho beastly thing
siidoff."
"That's all right, Miss Ramill. Easy
enough to up-end It again."
"Easyi" 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 frightfui load
ail the way up here! Aian Garth,
you're a man!"
"Weli, it's a bit of a stiff pull-up,"
he admitted. "Hut we'ii soon make
the downslope. I left the knife on the
knapsack. Go up and slice that cari-
bou meat."
The giri whom her own father couid
not command met tite order with a
cheerfui nod. She started briskly off
up the gap. Garth's steady climbing
brought him to tite top of tho pass a
few paces behind Huxby and Mr.
RantlH. Liiith was sprinkilng sait on
slices of the raw meat.
Tite pass was barren even of cari-
bou moss. The meat had to be eaten
cold or uncooked, or not at ali. Six
hours had passed since the party left
the camp in the valley bottom. After
thelong,hard climb,even the girlwas
hungry enough to have eaten rawhide.
The caribou meat was tender, and the
first taste of salt since the party had
come to the vaiiey turned the meai
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
Garth gave the word to start on. There
wouid be no more siogging up-hili,
with lungs beiiowsing for air. One
would oniy have to hold back.
But that was the rub—the holding
hack. The south side of the pass was
far steeper than the north, and there
was no glacier to offer stretches ot
smooth footing. The bed of the sharp-
ly tilted cleft frequentiy dropped over
sntail cliffs. Between these high ledges
were slides of frost-shattered rocks.
Patchesoficehereand there made the
footing doubly treacherous.
In piaces Garth had to drop his pack
down before him. Not Infrequently,
even Liiith 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. Stiii oftencr, her father had to
be helped by both Garth and Huxby.

Tremendous Turnip
*T*HINGS are done In a big way,
^downintheOzarks.
That's what Len B. Mitchell teamed
on his journey to Hot Springs, Ark.
Mitch stayed overnight tn the cabin
of a hospitable mountaineer, and after
supper bad been disposed of and the
hound dogs fed, he and his host dis-
cussed iife's problems.
"I cleared four square acres here
when I movedin, built this cabin and
an eight-foot fence from the timber,"
! recited the mountaineer.
I "Then I planted the land to corn
that wouldn't grow. Next I tried a
i Beid of turnips. The only turnip that
jcatne up was exactiy In the center of
my cleared ground but the growing it
did, more'n made up for the failure of
the rest of the crop.
"That turnip grew and grew and
nothing wouid stop it. I just wish
those turnips that didn't come up
couid have seen it. My, but they'd
been ashamed.
"Weil sir, before I could harvest
that lusty vegetable it got so big It
pushed down my eight-foot fence on
all four sides."
On his return home, Mitch stopped
again atthe cabin. And hewas ques-
tioned by the mountaineer.
"What's going on in the city?" asked
that worthy. "Any manufacturing?"
"Yea," answered Mitch, "where I
went they are buiidtng the iargest ket-
tle ever known. It's 440 feet across
and 79 feet high."
"What in tarnation wlil they nsa It
for?" asked the Ozarkian.
They'll cook your turnip In It," re-
pi ied Mitcheii.
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 inhis 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 iower jaw. These
mastodons dredged the muddy bottoms
of prehistoric swamps for water iliies
and other swamp growths which
formed their food. It has been sev-
eral years since their fosslis were first
discovered in the Gobi desert, but In-
terest has reverted to them through
the discovery and identiBcation of
piant fossils which prove that swamps
existed in the Gobi during their time—
a fact previousiy doubted and which
doubt raised a question as to these
animais' food and the purpose of their
shovel tusks. Tilts doubt, however, is
now cieared. Other discoveries have
shown that these iong-extlnct elephants
aiso iivedin America and dredged the
swamps of California. Nebraska, and
Kansas.—PathHnder Magazine.

Spider* and Stara
Spiders' webs have many uses. With-
out them astronomers would Bnd it
harder to make accurate observations.
The eye pieces of their telescopes are
marked Into sections by very Bneiittes,
which are really pieces of web held In
piace by spots of varnish. Webs are
used because it Is Impossible to have
tlner as well as equally distinct lines
by any other method. There are other
uses, too, for wehs. An Instrument
maker in York employs a, man specially
to collect spiders and webs. Only a
special kind of spider is caught, the
"eperira drademata," which is usually
found on gorse bushes and has a cross
on its back. The spiders are made to
wind their webs on special forks, each
Insect winding about 40 feet before
the supply gives out. These webs are
used In the manufacture of the most
delicate types of scienttBc Instruments-
—Tit-Bits Magazine.
The Deflated Bear
D ItlEF as the deer hunting season Is,
hundreds of city dweilers invade
the Wisconsin woods every fall.
Two of them estabiished a camp con-
sisting of cabin, suppiy of canned food
and condiments, and a nearby spring
for drinking purposes.
One day, and this Is vouched for by
August 0. Hennig, American Legion
leader in lliinois, the hunters returned
to camp and found they had left the
door of the cabin open.
Bear tracks were sprinkled liberally
outside and within the cabin signs of
an Invasion were unmistakable. Canned
goods weren't disturbed but a six-
pound bag of dried appies and a two-
pound sack of sait weremlssing.
The huntsmen sped Immediately to
the spring and found the bear had
knelt there for a long draft to wash
down his salty luncheon.
Foliowing the trail again, the hunt-
ers traveied only 200 yards when they
discovered Mr. Bruin, growilng heip-
lessty and swoilen to Immoderate pro-
portions. The long drink had made
the dried apples swell and the bear's
expanding stomach had grown iarger
and larger until Bnally his feet no
longer touched the ground.
The four-cornered balloon was at
once dispatched by the nimrods. Be-
fore securing the pelt, one of them,
who was musically Inclined, deflated
the bear by inserting a reed instrument
in its side and practicing the anger
movement for such tunes as "Over the
Waves," as the bioat subsided.
When the bear was compietely de-
Bated the hunter had become recog-
nized as an accomplished musician.
Anim*! Propheta
A pit-horse at Markham colliery
proved wiser than the man who drove
It, saya Tit-Bits Magazine. Suddeniy,
for no apparent reason, the horse,
which had worked underground for
seven years, bolted and refused to re-
turn. When Ita driver returned alone,
the roof fell on hltn almost immediate-
iy. Animals often sense danger and
the authorities In Engiand know, for
instance, that pit-horses arc 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
ho reached safety. In Burma, where
elephants carry logs, one of these
beasts refused to cross^a certain bridge
with lta load. Eventually the logs
were loaded on carts and dragged by
bullocks, but the bridge collapsed when
they were halfway across. ^
Pale as Paste
TTtS personal physician, Doctor Ram-
sey, once concocted a sticking sub-
stance of unpareiieied strength, as-
serts Harry W. Ewert of the Chicago
Board of Trade weighing department.
"Doc kept the ingredients of his
great invention secret," Ewert says.
"But I can teil you It was composed
partly of a mixture of parboiled Hsh-
hooks, mustard plasters and worn out
! Scotch pocketbooks.
{ "My friend's only ditHcuity was In
obtaining capita) necessary for its
manufacture in bulk. So he decided
to demonstrate its hoiding quaiities.
"The doctor wheeled out his smalt
stunt plane one day and hired an
aviator to By it. He dropped a stnail
line, approxitnateiy the dimensions of
a human hair, from tite plane and
grabbed ahold of It. Then he ciung
tight while the aviator made a perfect
takeoff.
"Doctor Ramsey rode through the
air with the greatest of ease for more
than two hours, dangling from the
halriine, which of course, was fastened
to the plane by the sticking liquid.
"When they alighted It was neces-
sary to burn away three and three-
quarter Inches of the piane's surface
with an acetylene torch in order to
detach the hnir.
"The doc was paie as paste after his
adventure but the demonstration
proved a boon to everyone, including
the manufacturer who soid doc a new
piane."
