Until Dr.- Grenfell Labrador men and women lived and died without as much as ever seeing a doctor, much less having his services. He has had many adventures, but this is the story of his latest: HAD left Battle Harbor," he said, several patients ten miks away In a little settlement across the Ice pack. It was bitterly cold; the thermometer showed It to be ten degrees below zero. I was traveling over the ice with my pack of dogs when I found I was being carried away from the coast by the moving Ice Before I realized It I was field. floundering In broken drift lee, and before I could stop the dogs we were all In the freezing water.

Then the I ece dogs had to save themselves. One by one they scrambled up on the Ice I "to attend floe leslde me. "1 had lost everthing. My robes were gone and the supply of food for myself and the dogs. It looked as If It was all up with all of us, because a gale from the northwest was driving the floe rapidly out to sea. And the temperature was falling fast. My clothing was soaked. "So I took off my skin boots and cut them In halves. These hnlves I strapped to my chest and back. The wind and cold increased as the night came on, and I could see the dogs were growing ravenous. When they are that way they are what their ancestors were, nothing better than wolves. They were yelping for food and 1 knew It was only a question of time before they would attack me. "It felt like murder, but I killed three of my largest dogs. I stripped them of their skins while the rest of the pack kept aloof, snarling Mnd yelping. Finally the bravest of them came after me, but I was able to fight them off until I could skin the three dead dogs. Then I threw the meat to the survivors and kept the skins to wrap about myself. "When morning came I saw the Ice was rapidly drifting from shore. I had nothing to put as a mast on which I could swing out a signal of distress until I thought myself of the bones of the legs of the dead dogs. "These I managed to splice together.

The last rays of the sun shone on the head of the reptile; they seemed to light up all his evil features. They showed that his eyes had a touch of red In them and were lustful; they showed a fleck of dried blood, not his own, on the cruel curve of the Bp; they showed the spreading nostrils and the Jaws of Iron. But the child could see none of these things; for the child knew nothing of lust, of cruelty, of blood.
