leaped out from her shelter a slender appealing figure in the clouds of rain and call- j ed sobbingly as if her voice would carry out to sea then she turned in uesperntion to the head guide launch the boat quick pete she said maybe we can catch her ystj he shook his head soberly and re spectfully youd better get back under cover mrs ncwhall he ad vised it would just mean to be lost if wo tried to catch her she prob ably had good reasons for going but to leave us here in this awful place she probably didnt have any other choice i think likely her an chor chain broke her crew is head ing for some shelter where she can lie at anchor possibly clear to port heiden shell lay up there till the storm is over then come back for us ill make you comfortable the best thng for you now is to keep dry till we can make camp but how long before theyll be back he looked straight into her wide- open violet eyes thats a question mrs ncwhall when these storms come up no one knows when they are going to go away but surely it wont be more than a few days at most fortunately weve got plenty of grub a good part of my winter supply that will last the five of us nearly a month with fresh meat ive got my rifle here so we wont starve per haps they will be back tomorrow pete himself was not an experienc ed camper but he was a strong man ieii with his hands and a few camp ing trips and deerhunts in the last year had taught him tho rudiments of woodcraft he selected for their camp the first alder thicket adjacent to the boat which happened to be on an easy slope immediately above and less than fifty yards back from the grave on tho beach a small stream flowed past their camp and down to the sea providing plenty of pure water and the grass of its bank was deep and rich a space was cleared in tho centre with tho axe and here in a place of comparative shelter from tho find ho spread his own light compact waterproof tent here on the softmoss under tho canvas he spread tho girls sleeping robe duck for it quick he told dorothy as he wrapped his own great slicker coat about her ivan turned as if he would resent even this shadow of familiarity but what he saw on the girls face silenc ed him dorothy had evidently not taken offense presently her hand in his they were racing together across tho tundra toward the shelter of petes tent one of tho natives dug up the roots of a certain dwarf willow that grew beside the creek and here he found dry kindling that soon developed a cheery fire petes own camp stove soon had the tent thoroughly warm nd dry the situation looked a little better to dorothy by now but it was still a doleful project the tent was for one person only she could not im age how tho four men were to find shelter from tho storm this how- vor did not prove difficult nick tavlof was adept at building the com bination dugout and turf house that is almost the only kind of human habitation known on the bering sea sea tide of the alaskan peninsula and he soon had a shelter that not only defied tho rain but also wind nd cold fete disappeared with hit rifle up the hill and soon dorothy heard him foot ho totorned in a moment with clomp grouse nearly as large a a chicken that he explained was the incomparable ptarrrdgao of the bar ren lands piawof wno had- been given the job of assistant cook clean- jftsoe no 1 s ed it and it was soon fryiug merrily oa tho camp stove tho entire company was improved in spirits after a lunch of tho tcndo delicious flesh of ptamigan fried po tatoes and reflector biscuits served with marmalade pete himself sup erintended her coffeo and ho seemed to know by instinct just how sho liked it it was rich and dark and smooth though of a land of coffeo drinkers she herself could not havo mado it better camp work was completed in the afternoon whilo ivan and dorothy played cards to pasn the timo they watched together the gray of twi light thicken over tho land followed scon by the swiftfalling darkness the three workmen moved dimly in and out of the firelight as they pre pared the evening meal peto himself filled tho girls plate and brought the food steaming hot to her side sho ate heartily grate ful to him and his last work was to dig roots from beneath her sleeping robe so that she might spend tho night in comparative comfort ho paused for a singlo instant in the halfdarkness beside her if the rain quits tomorrow ill cut a lot of tundrp grass and mak you a real bed he told her quietly ivan himself could not have been more considerate of her sho couldnt explain how yet this mans under standing of tho north his confidence in his own ability to cope with it and conquer it passed to her and com forted her you dont think well have to spend another night here do you sho asked i think it very likely is that all i can do for you mrs ncwhall everything pete you are very kind pete what part of england aro along well with him you instincl tively like him tho east is east and the west is westshe- quoted thoughtfully thats it your pete is an anglo- j saxon tho most dominant of alu western peoples i am a russian j strictly speaking i am a mongol and j oriental mood has slanted my eyes theres no use of trying to hide that fact from you even if i were not proud of it pete and i could novcr understand each other wed fight and kill each other in a minuto if the gallows and several other things didnt drop a shadow between yet i am an anglosaxon she told him yes he hesitated but also you aro a woman wo men of tho- east do not look on women as wo look on men i dont love you for what you racially are racial differ- encea dont havo to interfere in a lovo like ours in a marriago such as ours would bo that would move like a dream in a garden i ho took his violin from its casoj and held it a while lovingly in his whito hands he began to play for her softly i the composition ho choso was one that sho had never heard before a j wild haunting thing in tho minor that she guessed was a folk melody of his own urals ho was not play ing to her tonight ho was simply i seeking expression of his own un fathomable oriental soul as- always his technique was flawless yet to night he played with a fire and an ardor sho had never heard in him before ivan played on and caught the soul of this north in the wildplaintive tones the music mingled with the sound of the storm the rain lashing the tent the long shriek of the wind the beat of tho waves on the shore to bo continued you from your accent is not great ly different from the men of my own country ho looked straight at hor liver pool but ive been in america so long in the north it is queer my accent would be anything but si- wush he bade her good night and soon vanished into the murk of tho storm sho sat a while with ivan listening to tho boat of tho rain on the tent dorothy he asked suddenly does this land take hold of you she waited an instant half dream ing before she attempted to reply it gets my imagination some way sho confessed at last it has given me the queerest moods the strangest thoughts all day long how does it affect you ho moved nearer groping for her hand ho caught it at last and his throbbed with the fierce pulse of his arteries do you want to know how it affects mo it just seems to peel me down to strip off a veneer of civilization that ive picked up some where and just leave tho basic part of me that part of me is something that you yet dont fully know and im some way- afraid to have you fully know it his voice was sub dued and ho spoko wi htevident diffi culty tonight im tho man of tho ural mountains tho occident falls away and loaves only asia a dim fear trickled through hor a sense of estrangement- and at the same time a deep fascination and sho struggled to regain hor polso and selfconfidence yet this isnt asia sho said i dont know its so far west that it is almost east its like my own siberia dorothy did you notice pavlops attitudo toward me no not particularly its like a slave for his master i am not boasting dorothy that man has enough echo of asia in him to see asia in ma and he bows before it but i havent anything on earth la common with that big guide pete yon on the other hand seem

belter tho aus tralian aborigines aro a mirthful peo ple full of friendship once tho bar riers are broken down said e l grant wilson zoologist author and explorer in an interview mr wat son told how ho penetrated a territory from which but six known explorers havo returned mr watson spent 15 months in the land of the boomerang seeing aus tralia from the inside living under a native name and roaming tho far thest reaches of tho bush as a mem ber of a nomadic tribe few ot whom had ever seen a white man a race so primitive that many of its manners and customs are said to parallel those of earliest man with alfred r brown professor at the university of sidney and a roving scandinavian sailor to act as cook mr watson left civilization at sandstone a little mining town it self in the midst ot a wilderness on an ethnological expedition sponsored by cambridge university and tho royal anthropological society warn ed he said never to turn their back on a native they ato with them and slept with them and found them ex cellent trlonds the aborigines have retreated into that part of australia so barren and arid that white men fall to penetrate it mr watson went on there they live in a state of communism each tribe with a definite territory of its own but without a traco of agricul ture and almobt without culture but some of their stone weapons ami their customs indicate that valuablo information may be found there upon the earlier races that inhabited eur ope and england despite a state so primitive that they have neither houso nor tent but sleep under a few bushes that they tear down at night they have system and a clearcut and definite though barbarous system of education that instills in every boy an unimpeach able respect tor tribal laws and cus toms in educating the boys mr wat son continued every age ot child hood is distinctly marked until they aro 12 they play and aro free but at that age they undergo their first initiation and recotve a mark that clearly places them a stage above thoso who are younger they are then- taught to hunt and to make weapons and given a hint as to the mythology and secrets of the tribe periodically after that tlmo the boy takes other degrees until with tho final one he is a man wo saw not a trace of war there was rather a marked feeling of friend ship between tho nomadic bands thoy even gathered for intortrlbal games their idea ot sport is amaz ing they aro oxpert spear throwers and havo a device whereby they can propol a spear with great accuracy for 200 yards or more it is a stick ap proximately five feet long with a pin on the end that fits into a slot on the spear by jiggling the stick they keep tho spear balanced it is thrown in a sweeping arc tho stick giving the samo leverage as though tho throwers arm was five feet long er thoir favorite game is to hurl a spear at another mans legs as he stands to protect himself with a nar- irow hido shield which does not stop the spear but merely deflects it to ono eldo and into the ground and they are onormously proficient at it thoy also throw the boomerang with great accuracy and have built up games around that mr watson described the wilder ness into which the aborigines have retreated as an immense and almost flat tabloland the base ot which is granite covered with a fine red dust that filters everywhere turning peo ple bushes and beasts a doll
