E ISLE OF - RETRIBUTION S0N MARSHALL - LR, BROWN § COMPANY, . — REGIN HERE TODAY Ned Cornet, Lenore Hardenworth and Ress Gllbert are shipwrecked, Ned is engaged 1o marry lLenore The three take refuge on an island they find occupied solely by a man named Doomsdorf and his Indian wife. Doomador! turns out to be a brute and takes Ned and the two girls prisoners, He tels them that they are to he his slaves, Lenore is spared hard labor, but Pess and Ned are driven by their master until they fall unconsclous, The prisoners bulld @« themselves and, after it Doomadorf tells Hess and Ned that he means to have them do all his winter trapping, Lenore is allowed to remain with the squaw to help with the housework, crevice and expects to die, cabin for is Nnished, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY He did not hear It again; but the truth went home to him in one de. spairing instant, Try as hard as he could, his jaws had released thelr hold upon the knife, and it had fallen into the depths of the crevioe beow. XXV, Bess had made good time along her line that day. She had not forgotten that this was the day of her ren- dexvous with Ned, and by walking swiftly, eschewing even short rests, carrying her larger trophies into the pabin to skin rather than halting and thawing them out over a fire, she ar- rived at the Forks hut at mid-after- noon, She began at once to make preparations for Ned's coming. On the glare ice of the glacier, a mile straight up the ridge from the cabin, she saw the figure of a man. It was Ned, of course, taking the perilous path over the ice, instead of keeping to the bMmzed trail of his trap line, On the slight downward slope toward her, clearly outlined against the white ice, she could see every step he took. " He was walking boldly over the glassy surface. .Didn't he know lits terrors, the danger of slipping on the icy shelves and falling to his death, deep crevice shunned by the wild tures? She watched every step anxious gaze . When he was almost to safety she saw him stop, draw back a few paces, and then come forward at a leaping pace. ‘What happened thereafter came too fast for her eyes to follow. One instant she saw his form distinctly as he ran. The next, and the ice lay white and bare in the wan light, and Ned had disappeared as if by a magi- clan's magic. For one moment she gazed in grow- ing horror. There was no ice pro- montory behind which he was hidden, nor did he appear again. And peer- ing clogely, she made out a faint, dark ' Hne, like a pencil mark on the ice, just where Ned had disappeared. She turned into the cabin, bent, and added fresh fuel to the stove. Ite heat scorched her face, and she p.. up her hand to shield it. The cabin should be warm, when she brought Ned home. She mustn't let the cold creep in. She must not forget the cold, always watching for every little opening. Perhaps he would want food, too: she glanced into the iron pot on the stove. Then, acting more by instinct than by conscious thought, she began to look about for such tools as she would need in the work to follow. There was a piece of rope, used once on a hand sled, hanging on the wall; but it was oly about eight feet in length. Surely it was not long enough to aid her, yet it was all she had. " Next, she removed a blanket from her cot and threw it over her shoulder. There might be need of this, too—further protection against 3 the cold. Heretofore she had moved slowly, hardly aware of her own acts; but now she was beginning to master her- gelf again. She mustn't linger here. She must make her spirit waken to lite, her muscles spring to action. Carrying her rope and her blanket, she went out the door, closed it be- hind her, and started up toward the er. At last she stood at the very edge of the yawning seam, staring down into the unutterable blackness below.

XXVIL It was bitter hard for Ned to fight his way through death's twilight. The cold had hold of him, its ' tri- umph was near, and it would not let him go without a savage battle that seemed to wrack the man in twain. He summoned every ounce of cour- age and determination that he had and tried to shake the frost from his brain. “You'll have to work quick,” he warned again. His voice was stronger now, but softened with a tenderness beyond her most reckless dreams, “Don't be too hopeful—I haven't much left in me. ‘What can you do?" The girl who answered him was in no way the lost and hopeless mortal that had lain sobbing on the ice. The | fighting side of her that ¢Ned had geen 8o often swept swiftly into domi- nance. At once she was a cold blade, true and sure; brain and body in per- fect discipline. “How far are you?" she asked. 't see—" “Abouit 10 feet—but I can't get up without help.” “Can you stand up?" “Yes.” Iorcing himself to the last ounce, of his nerve and courage, he drew himself erect. Reaching up- Enrich Your Blood With This Newer Form of Iron abyss, came back in “You'll o1 For many years physicians and chemists experimented to produce a newer form of iron, like the iron in «your blood, because they realized that the old metallic irons often blacken- ed the teeth and upset the stomach. Their examinations proved that three people out of every four were defi- cient in iron content in the blood and that thousands were weak, sick, nervous, ailing and run-down, and suffering from all sorts of alarming | symptoms, when as a ‘matter of fact their trouble was all due to iron starvation of the blood. At last they discovered this newer- form of iron, like the iron in spinach, lentils and apples in highly concentrated form. | It quickly helps put strength into your muscles and color into your cheeks. Get your doctor to take your red blood count today, then take this newer form of iron known as Nuxated Iron for a few weeks and watch your red blood corpuscles increase; see how much purer and richer your blood be- comes; how much stronger and better you feel; what difference it makes in your nerves. Over 4,000,000 people | annually are using Nuxated Iron. Your money will be refunded if you | strangely silence—and it was all the answer she needed. He would fight on for ten minutes more. He would strug- gle against the cold until she could rescue him. “Here's a blankeet,” she told him swiftly. “Put it around you, if you can, without danger of rolling off." She dropped him the great covering she had brought; then in a single, deerlike motion, she leaped the nar- row crevice. On the opposite side she procured Ned's axe; then she turned, and half running, half glid- ing on the-ice, sped toward the near- est timber—a number of stunted spruce two hundred yards distant at the far edge of the glacier. Bess had negfi of her woodsman's knowledge now. Never before had her blows been so true, so telling on the tough wood. Almost at once she had done her work and was started pack with a tough pole, eight feet long and four inches in diameter, balanced on her sturdy shoulder. Ned was still strong enough to an- swer her call when she returned, and the dim light still permitted him to see her lay the pole she had cut as a bridge across the crevice, cutting notches in the ice to hold it firm. Swiftly she tied one end of her'rope to the pole and dropped the other to him. v “Can you climb up?” him. “Just watch me,” was the answer. - Irom that instant, she knew that ghe had won. The spirit behind his words would never falter, with vic- tory so near. He dug his moccasins into the holes he had hacked in the ice, meanwhile working upward, hand over hand. To fall meant to die— but Ned didn't fall: It was a hard fight, i he was, but soon the girl's reaching hands caught his sleeve, then his coat; finally they were fastened firm- 1y, lifting with all the girl's strength, under the great arms. His hand seized the pole, and he gave a great upward lunge. And then he was lying on the jce beside her, fighting for breath, not daring to believe that he was safe. But the usual cool, half mirthful remark that in many little crises, Ned had learned to expect from Bess, was not forthcoming tonight. Nor were the sounds in the twilight merely those of heavy breathing. The strain was over, and Bess had given way to the urge of her heart at last. Her tears flowed unchecked, whether of ow or happiness even she did not she asked weakened as SOrT know. The man crawled toward her, moved by an urge pbeyond him, and for a single moment his strong arms pressed her close. “Don't cry, little pal,” he told her. He smiled, @ boyish, happy smile, into her eyes. ‘ery softly, reverently he kissed her wet eyelids, then stilled her trembling lips with his own. He smiled again, a great good-humor | taking hold of him. “You're too biz | a girl to ery!” @IL’ES IN THE AIR .
