Before you go, caution Wilcox to be ready to duck aa soon as the fireworks begin. It may be any minute now." Presently he and Wilcox were left alone with his enemies unless he .counted DeValera as a friend. The squaws, Including Fireheart, drifted oft a few at a time. Finally only Chechaquo and three or four of the hunter's crouched In the shadows. The fire burned low; the shadows trooped In bolder. Eric could no longer keep track of all his foes. If they must strike at all, he Implored that It might be soon! Presently the wall of night parted to let through a slim figure In a white parka.

If I show them Pm not afraid of them, may-t- e they'll back down." Nan steeled her suffocating heart and leveled her gaze at him. "I don't believe they can stop you. . . . Now let drive." Eric stepped full Into the firelight. "Garge," he called clearly. There was a brief silence. The gang, massed around Sandomar, froze In their tracks. "I'm 'ere," the little cockney answered at last "The fire's getting low. You and Sandomar rustle some driftwood." The gang stared at Eric, to see If his gaze would fall. It only grew sharper, so one by one they turned expectant eyes to his adversary. It was Garge who had brought the tale of the defective revolver; here was a direct and unmistakable challenge for him to prove his story.

Eric lingered In the chill dark, sick of heart, baffled, the pilot-sta- r he followed fading on his sight Yet all was not lost His last cartridge had not been spent In vain. Early in the morning Garge came to Eric's hut suing for peace. "Me and Sandy made a mistake yesterday, and we 'umbly ask you to let bygones be bygones," the little cockney said. "We ain't going to make you no more trouble, sir. We sees you 'old the upper 'and, and though we don't much like It, we 'ave made up our minds to stand it Now, sir, I'd like to make a 'umble plea." Garge's tone grew confidential "It may seem queer, coming from me, but I'm making It for Sandy's sake, to keep 'Im out of trouble." Eric could not Imagine what was coming. "Go ahead." "Can't the two young ladies 'urry up and settle down with the men of their choice? They both 'as their preference, no doubt, and It wouldn't be no 'ardshlp.

"How long have we been here, Eric?" "This is the ninth day." "Is that all? It seems we've been here always never known anything else. Eric, what would you give to see a sail out there?" The dull red of her cheeks deepened and spread. "A ship we could signal to, that would come in, and take us home!" "I wouldn't give you. My hopes of you, I mean." There was no one In hearing, only a few Aleuts, Including Fireheart, tending the nets. So Eric spoke from his heart. "Yet that's Just what I'd have to give, If a ship came now." "Do you think we'd pass out tf each other's lives?" "I would pass out of yours. You'd forget these nine days, at most they'd be a dream." "You'd forget, too, Eric. Because It Is only nine days, after all." Her lids dropped over her lustrous eyes. "If we parted, you might take It hard, but It would leave no sear." "You mean, I'm not In love with you yet?" "I suppose that's what I do mean. We have had no chance to be lovers, nothing but" honored antagonists. You don't have to tell me, because I know." There was a long silence.
