Show UINTAH BASIN RECORD cached In the cave the hundred pounds of smoked moose meat he had brought up on his . He then led on up the glacier, halfway from Its foot to the top of the pass. That gave the three climbers some real lee work. Coming back. Garth knocked three brace of fool hens from spruce limbs with a stick. The half dozen grouse made a pleasant change. But even with a pail of salmon berries for dessert they proved a scant meal for the four The last leg of moose had already been baked and eaten, the tongues broiled, and the second muffle stewed. The remainder of the smoked meat would not last long. So far, Garth had not Interfered with IIuxby8 panning out of the platinum alloy. He had not even asked to look at the take of precious metal. Food was different matter. Instead of shoot-another moose, he called upon Huxby to Join In a caribou hunt. A band of the big animals had drifted along the tundra terrace over towards the glacier. Garth counted 13. He waited until the band came within 75 yards. He then let drive, shooting rapidly yet with careful aim. One after another dropped, each with a bullet through the head. The stupid beasts stared In the direction of the sharp reports. But they could see nothing. The sixth went down before the nine survivors wheeled and clattered off In flight. The flaying was well under way when Iluxby and Miss Ramill came hastening aslant the tundra ahead of Mr. Ramill. The girl eyed the clean delicious-lookinwhite fat on the first flayed body. That looks good, Alan I Vivian, you can go back to your mining. Dad and 1 will help here. Her father called out a panting suggestion for Huxby to wait and carry down a load of meat. No need, Garth said. Dont stop, Huxby. Most of this venison is going on Ice. None will be lowed to spoil. The engineer did not linger. He had looked none too well pleased over the girls familiar use of Garths first name. Along with his displeasure about this, there could he no doubt of his eagerness to get back to the platinum panning. When Garth finished the flaying of the caribou, he started to dress out the bodies. Greatly to his astonishment, at the cutting up of the second caribou, Lilith took the belt ax and began to help.

He wak ened to find the first pair of moccasins finished. The girl had met his terms. lie gave Huxby the moss bed, and started to collect fiattish stones as heavy as he could toss. When he had pitched a dozen or so upon the cache platform, he strung the smoked slices of meat on rawhide thongs. Raking aside the smudge-fire- , he stood on the rack and tied ail the meat close up under the cache platform. He then climbed upon the plat form and piled the stones on the where they came around the poles. That would keep wolverines or other pilferers from gnawing the rawhide to let the meat fall No fourfooted creature could now get at the meat on the under side of the platform, and, even ravens would have difficulty stealing much of it.' To complete the job, Garth pulled off the cross'poles 'of the smoke rack. For breakfast, the party finished the baked leg of moose. As Garth had foreseen, his three city camp mates had developed camp appe tltes. Better still, they were less irritable. Their craving for drink and tobacco had begun to lessen, At timberline Huxby went up the trough with the gold pan.' Garth headed again, for the glacier. This time Mr. Ramill did not pant and gasp so- hard, nor did he have to stop so often. He managed to climb to the lower end of the glacier. While he rested In a sunny nook on the rocky side of the lateral' moraine, his daughter went down In front of the glacier with Garth. They came to the channel where the milky stream gushed out e of a tunnel cave In the blue-whit- Ice. , Garth pointed to a shelf of rock on the near side of the stream.

Aside' from an occasional word of direction, Garth said nothing. When he finished dressing out the fifth carcass, he handed his knife to his eager helper, packed a load of meat and carried it to the Ice cave. Down In the gulch Bottom h( chose a pothole stone that would hold perhaps three quarts. In the bowl he colled a wick of twisted dry caribou moss, piled in caribou fat, and lighted the wick. When fat melted, the wick burned with strong steady flame. Curibou ribs furnished a grating on which to debroil steaks. The fat meat was between flavor Its tender, liciously venison and beef. When even Mr. Ramill could eat no more, Garth carried the stone cave. Upon his lamp Into the Ice and Lilith Ramill Mr. return, he had look close at the caribou Bkins. fur.

Its thethats reason why men like you and Huxby iose out. You worship the golden calf. Yet what value Is there to riches other than what you get from them? Canyon think of a more enjoyable game than playing draw poker, with our lives in the Jackpot, and Fortune dealing us the cards of , ? chance? What's the catch? Inquired Miss Ramill, with a sudden upwell-in- of her sophisticated cynicism. Lives In the Jackpot,' that means nothing. Its your placer thats in the pot. What stakes do you consider we have in to balance it? That would be telling, he teased. Youll know If I win. If i lose, it will not matter to any of you what youve risked. The showdown may come sooner than I expected. Your father Is already In fairly good shape. Well start the trip out as soon as those caribou skins have been tanned. CHAPTER VI Hell In the Muskeg. lARTll sat beside the camp fire r sewing new moccasins for him self. Nearby, the millionaire dealer In mines and his fastidious daughter scraped the raw sides of the six caribou skins and rubbed them with the tanning mixture of fat, liver and brains. Garth had told them they could either tan the skins, or wait for him to do it. Until the tanning had been finished, the trip out would not begin. Mr. Ramill was so keen to start back for civilization that he went at the disagreeable task with energy and determination. Lilith no: only worked as vigorously as her father, she showed a real Interest in the tanning, Huxby took no part In this preparation of the skins. When he came down to the camp from the pin' inum placer, the sight of his fiancees doing such squaw work struck him speechless. lie stared in blank amazement. When at last he found his voice, he started to threaten Garth: Youve gone a hit too far, yon Stand up, or Ill kick roughneck. you up. I am going to The girl broke in, with cool scorn: Tune off, old dear. Youre set on static. Its not interference we want. Dad and I are giving this perform ance under our own direction. You see, Its a bargain. Alan agrees to start our trip out Just as soon as these skins are all tanned. The mining engineer drew back. So soon as that My dear girl, 11 hes going to rush us off, I don't see how I can spare any time here in camp. I havent yet sampled ail the area of the placer."

That is understood. It was his bargain, Huxby res plied. He went to gorge on the leg of caribou that Garth had roasted of over the fire on a twist-thonrawhide. When be could eat no more, lie hastened back to the placer trough to resume his panning. Before sundown, Garth set several rawhide snares, each attached to a pair of downbeat saplings. For bait, he used raw pieces of caribou flesh. The beasts of the had never been trapped. When at sunrise, he went the rounds of his snares, he collected a lynx, two red foxes, a wolverine, and a g vul-le- wolf. Garth did not reset the snares. He had more skins than he needhe mnde a ed.
