And, If Rnlney meant to stand between her and Luno. as a pro tector, Lund would accept Win In that character only as the girl's lover and his rival. For the time being, the safety of the Karluk nnd the successful carry ing out of the purpose of the trip took all of Lund's attention and energy. Twice ho had been thwarted' by the weather from gleaning his golden har vest, and It began to look ns If the third attempt might bo nc more for tunate. "The Karluk's stout, be said once, "but she nln't built for the Arctic. If wo git nipped badly she'll go like an eggshell." "And then what?" Itntney nsked. "Git the gold I That's what we come for. If we have to make sleds an' use the hunters for a dorg-team." He laughed Indomitably. "We'll make a man of you ylt, Rainey, afore we git buck." Lund was snatching sleep In scraps, seeking always to feel a way toward the position of the Island through the Ice that continually baffled progress. Against all opposition he forced his .way until, just after sunset one night, ns the dusk swept down, he gave a shout and pointed to a fitful Hare over Hie port bow. " ltalney thought It the nurora. but Lund laughed at him. "It's the crater atop the Island," be said. "Xolhln' dangerous. Itcg'lar lighthouse. Now, boys," he went on. Ids deep voice ringing with exhilara tion, "there's gold In sight! Whistle for a change of weather, every moth er's son of you I" The dock was soon crowded. On the previous trip the schoonerMiad ap proached Jhe Island from a different (ingle, but the men were swift to acknowledge the glow of the volcano as the expected lnndfall. Lund re mained on deck, and It was Into be fore any of the crew turned In. ltalney, during his watch, saw the mountain fire-pulse, glowing and wink ing like the eye sof n Cyclops, Its gleam reflected In the eyes of Uio watchers who were obput to InVadc the Island nnd rob It of Its golden sands. The change of weather came about three In the morning, though not as Lund had hoped. A sudden wind ma terialized from the north, stiffening the canvas with Its ice-laden breath, glazing the schooner wherever mols- 'We'll Make a Man of You Ylt, Rainey, Afore Wo Git Back." tuie dripped, bringing up an angry icud of clouds that fought with the tnoon. The ca appeared to have thickened. Tl e Karluk went sluggish ly, as If she was sailing in a sea of treacle. CHAPTER XI. Smoke. When Rainey came on deck the next morning ho found the schooner Hom ing in n small Ingoon that mridc tho renter of n Hod. The water In It was Blush, half solid. Main and fore were dose furled, the headsalls nlbo, and tho ICnrluk was nosing against the' far end of tho rapidly diminishing basm. The wind was still lively. A deep hum of bursting surf under toned nil other noises and, prisoned dh she wus. the schooner and her Hoc were sweeping slowly toward the land In the grip f a current rather than befow- tho gusty wind. ' Lupd came up within the hour and stood MlnKlug at the brilliance. He EC'CjiiPil well natlsfjed with the prospect. "Hail breakfast?" he aM;ed Rrtluey. and then: "All right. "We'll It the men aft." Z liqltowt! an order, and coon H HWHHHHMMHBHinnaMaMiHHMHKi J: ALLEN DUNN COPYRIGHT BODDS MERRILL CO. every one came trooping, to gather In two groups cither side of tho cabin akyllght. Their faces were eager with the proximity of tho gold, yet half sullen as they waited to hear what Lund had to say. Since the attempt against him Lund had said nothing about their shares. They acknowl edged him ns master, ljut they still re belled in spirit. "There's tho island," said Lund. "We'll mako It afore sundown. The beach Is there, wnltln' for us to 'dig It up. It'll be some Job, I don't reckon Jt's frozen hnrd, flii'y crusted. If it Is we'll bust the crust with dynamite. Kut wo got to hop to it. There'll be Riiother cold spell after this one peters out an' the next is like to bo perma nent. I want the gold washed out afore then, an' us well down the strait. It's up to you to hump yore selves, an' I'll help the humpln'. "We'll cradle most of the stuff an',' If they's time, we'll flume the silt tall In's for the fine dust. Provldln' we can git a full or water. Thcro'U be plenty for nil hnnds to do. An' tho shares go ns first llxod. I ain't ex pectin' you to do the dlggin nn' not git a pinch or two of the dust." The men's faces lighted, and they shuffled about, looking tit one another with grins of relief. "No cheers?" asked Lund Ironlcnlly. "Wall, I hardly expected enny. Han son, you'll ho one of tho foremen, with pay nccordln'. Demlng." "I can't dig," said tho hunter trucu lently. "Neither can Ueale, with his ribs." "You've got a ' sweet nerve." said Lund. "I reckon jou'vo won enough to bo sure of yore shares. If the boys pay up. Enough for you to do some dlggin' In yor,e pockets ifor Ronle. His ribs 'ud bo whole If you hadn't started tho bolshevik stunt. But I'll find something for both of you to do. Don't let that worry you none. "We've" got mercury aboard some where," Lund continued, to Rainey, when the men had dispersed, far more cheerful thnn they had gathered. "We'll use that for qonccntratlon In the film riffles. Hnnscn'll have rock ers made that'll catch the big stuff. If the worst comes to tho. worst, we'll load up the, old hooker with the pay dirt an' wash it out on tho way home. I'll strip that beach down to bedrock If I have to work tho toes an' fingers off 'cm." By noon tho schooner was glazed In ns firmly as a toy model that Is mounted In a glass sea. The wind blew Itself entirely out, but the cur rent bore them steadily on to the clamorous shore, where the swells were creating promontories, bays, cliffs and chnsms In tho piled-up con fusion of the floes pounding on the rocks, breaking up oY sliding atop one another In noisy confusion. Tho mnrble-whlteness of the ice masses was set off by the blues and soft violets of their shadows, and by penrly sheen wherever tho planes caught the light at a proper slant for the piny of prisms. Benutiful as It wasthe sight was fearful to Rainey, In coinmon with tho crow. Only Lund surveyed It nonchalantly. "It's bustln' up fast," he said. "All we need Is a little luck. If we ain't got that there's no use of worryln'. We can't blast ourselves out o' this without riskjn' tho schooner. Wo ought to be thnnkful wo froze In gen tle. There ain't a plank stnrted. The floe'll fend us off. There nln't enny big chunks enny way near us nft. Luck to make a decent lnndln' le nil we need, an' It's my hunch it's comln' our wit. v." Ills "hunch" was correct. Though they did not actually mako the little hay 911 which the trcasuic ncarh de bouched, they fetched up near It ngalnst a broken hill of Ice that had lodged on the sharp slopes of a llttlo promontory, making the connection without further dninngc than n split ting of the forward end of their en enslng floe, with hardly a Jar 'to the Knrluk. Lund sent men ashore over the Ice, climbing to the promontory craga with hawsers by which they tied up schooner, floe and all. to the hind, If the broken hill suffered further catas trophe, which did not seem likely. Its fragments would fnll upon tho floe. In case of emergency Lund ordered men told off day and night to stand by tho hawsers, to cast loose or cut, as the extremity needed. It was dark bofnro they were snugged. Tho men volunteered, through Hansen, to commence digging that night by the light of I Ig flres. so crazy were they at tho nearness of the gold. But Lund forbade It. "You'll work rog'lnr shifts when you git stnited," he said. "An' you won't start till terinorrer. We've got to stand by tho ship ternlght until we And out by mornln' how snug we're goin to be berthed." All night long they lay in a pan demonium of noise. After n while they would become used, to it us do the workers In a stainpmlll, but that night U deafened them, kept them awake nnd alert, fearful, with the tre mendous cannonading. The bit of the frost' made the tlinbcrs of tho Kt'iiuk creak nnd its tirust continually worked among the stranded masses with groaning thunders nnd shrill grlndtngs, wlillo the surf ever boomed on the resonant sheets of Ice. Dawn enmo before they were aware of It, a sudden rush of light that flyed the Ice In every hue ofrcd and orange, that tipped tho frozen coast with bursts of ruby flame that flared like beacons nnd glided the crests of the' long swells, tinging all their world with a wild, unnatural glory. Lund, striding the deck, his red beard Iced with his breath, suddenly stopped nnd stared into tho east. There, in tho very eye of the dawn, wns a trail of smoke, like a plume agalmt tho flaming, three-quarters cir cle of the rising sun 1 Lund's face, on which the bruises were fast fading, changed purple black with rage. Ho whirled upon Snndy, gaping nenr, and ordered him to fetch his binoculars. Through them ho stnred long U the smoke. Then he turned to the girl and Rainey. "Come down Inter tho cabin," ho said. "Weil need nil our wits. That's a patrol boat, Japanese, for a million 1 None other this far west. An' It's d d funny it should come up right at this inbuilt. We've made the trip on schedule time, an' hero they show. But we'll let that slide. We've got to think fnst. They'll board us. They'll overhaul us lookln' for seal pelts. At least I hope so. "We've got none. Our hunters ,nn' our rifles an' shotguns'll prove our claim to lie pelnglc sealers. We got to trust they believe us. If thero Is ri hide aboard or a club, or a sign of n dead seal on the beaches they'll nail us. They may ennywny, Just on suspi cion. v "It's lucky wo didn't start mussln' up that bench. But they'll go over everything.' I know 'cm. They claim to own the seas hereabouts, an' they're cockier thnn ever, since the war. Rainey, you got to git busy on the log. If yore father didn't keep It up, Miss Peggy, so much the better. If he has, you got to fake It someways, Rainey. "I'm SImms, get me, until we're clear of 'cm. An you, Rainey, are Doc Carlson. Nothln' must show In the log nbout enny deaths." "But why?" asked the girl. "Why do we have to masquerade If we haven't touched tho Reals?" Lund bnrked at her: "I gave you credit for sharper wits," bo said. "We've got to have every thing so reginr they can't find an ex cuse for hnulln' us In nn settln' lire to the schooner. They'd do it In a Jiffy. We got to show 'em our clear ance papers, an' we've got to tally up all down the lltto. uRnlncy ain't on tho bhlp's books CarLsen Is. Lund ain't but Slfntus Is. I'm SImms. An you" he stopped to grin at her "you're my daughter. I'll dissolve tho rela tionship nfter a wlillo, I'll promise you that. An' I'll drill the men. Thoy know what's ahead of 'em If the Japs git suspicious. "That ain't tho worst of It I They may know what we're after. If they do, we're goners. Ever occur tp you, Rainey, that Tamada, who Is n deep one, mny have tipped off the whole thing to his consul while the schooner was at San Francisco? Ho wns nlong the Inst trip. He'd know tho approxi mate position. Might have got tho right Aggers out o' tho log, him bavin the run of tho cabin. A cable, would do the rest. IIo'U git his whack out of it, with tho order of tho Golden Chrysanthemum or soino Jig arlg to bbot, an' git even with tho way ho feels to'ard our outfit for'nrd, thnt ain't bin none too sweet to him." The suggestion held n foundatlou of conviction for Rnlney. He had thought of the consul. He had always sensed depths In Tnmada's reserve. It looked plausible. Lund rose. "I'll fix Tamada," he said. But the girl stopped him. "You don't know" Hint's true. Ta mada has been wonderful to me. What do you Intend to do with him?" "I'll make up my mind between here and the galley," said Lund grimly. "Tills is my third time of tackling this Island, an' no .lap Is golu' to stand be tween me an' the gold, thlatrlp. Why. even If ho ain't blown on us, he'll glvo the whole thing nwny. If he didn't want to they'd make him come through If they laid their vch on lilm. They've got more tricks than n Chinese man darin to make a man talk. I'taiuts to reason he'll tell 'em. If he can talk when they git here." he added 0111. Inously, standing half-way between tho table and the door of tho corridor, his hand opening and closing sugges tively, "The crew'd seltlo his hnsh If I didn't. The ain't fools. They know what's ahead of 'em In Japun. You, Rnlney, git busy with thnt log. That gunboat'll have a boat alongside this floe Inside of ninety mlnnlts." Hut Peggy SlinniB was between lilm nnd the door. "You shan't do it," she snltf, her ejes hard as Hints, If Lund's were like steel. "You don't know what ho was to mo when when dad was burled. Call lilm In and let lilm talk for him self or or I'll tell tho Japanese myself what we have como fori" Lund stood fitnrlng tit her, his face hard, his beard Jhnist out like 11 bush with the Jut of his Jaw. ytl she faced hlru. resolute, barely up to hl& shoulders, slim, defiant. Gradually hU features crinkled Into a grin. "1 believe you would," ho said at Inst. "An' I'd hate to fix you the wny I would Tamada. But, niltid you, If I don't git a definite promise out of him that rings true1, I'll have to stow him somewheres, where thoy won't find him.. An' that won't bo on board ship." Tho girl's face softened. "You said you played fair," she said with a sigh ot relief. She stepped to the door, opened It, and called for Ta mada. The Japanese appenred almost instantly. Lund closed the door be hind him nnd locked it. "You know there's a patrol comln' up, Tnmnda?" ho asked. "A Jnp pa trol?" "Yes." "What do you Intend tellln' 'cm if they come on board?" "Nothing, If I ran help it. I think I can. I am not friendly with Jnpnneso government. It would bo bad for mo If thoy find me. One time I belong Progressive Party In Japan. I mnko much talk. Too much. Tho govern ment sny I am too progressive." Rnlney Imnglned he caught a glint of humor In Tnmada's eyes as ho mndo his clipped syllables. "So, I leavo my country. Suppose I go on stenmcr I think that govern ment thoy stop mo. I think even In' IRwr" But Peggy SImms Was Between Him and tho Door. California they may mnko trouble, If thoy find me. So I go sampan. Some times Japanese cross to California In sampan." "That's right," said Rainey. Ho had hnndled more than one stpry of Jap anese crows landing on some desolate portion of the coast to avoid Immigra tion Inws and sleamer fnres. Generally they w'ere rounded up after their perilous, daring crossing of the Pnclflc. Tamada's story held the elements of truth. Even Lund nodded In rcsencd nfilrmntloiu "Also I ship on Karluk as cook be cause of perhaps trouble If some 0110 know mo In San Francisco. I think much better if they do not sco me. I have a plan, Also I want my sharo of gold. Suppose that gunboat .find mo, And out About gold, they will not give mo rowan). You do not know Jhpanese. They will put mo In prison. It will be suggest to mo, becnuso I am of dalmlo blood" Tntundn drew himself up slightly ns he claimed his nobility "that I mnko haii-knrl. Thnt I do not wish. I am Progressiva, I much rather cook on board Karluk and get my shnrq of gold." Lund surveyed him moodily, hall convinced. The girl was all eager approval. "What Is your plnn, Tamada?" "We're losln' time on thnt log," cut In Lund. "Git busy, Rnlney. Look nmong Carlson's stuff. Ho may have kept one. r5opo up 0110 of 'cm, nn' burn the" other. Now then, Tamada, dopo out yoro scheme; It's got to bo a good one." Both Lund and tho girl wore laugh ing when Rainey camo out Info tho main cabin aaln with the records. Tamada had disappeared. (TO DK CONTINUED.) "Harum-Scarum." Harum-scarum in a perfectly good word used In connection with 11 person who Is oxcoedinriy wild, leckless or thoughtless. The word probably origi nated ft 0111 a copihlniitlon of the two English verbs, "hare," tp excite or worry, and "scare," to frighten. Locke, In his "Essay on Education," uses "hnie" us a verb In this manner: "To 'hare' and rate them Is not to teach but to vex them." In this country, It Is generally sup. posed that "harum-scaruiu" Is un Amerlcanlzntlon, duo probnbly to Washington Irvlng's use of It In his "Allinpibni," where he wrote: "From a walk, the horso soon passed to a trot, from a trot to a gal lop and from a gallop to a harum senrum squnper." Similar. "Wbat'H become of Bllthershy?," "He's gone where tho wicked cense from troubling and the weary are at rest." "Dead?" "No, Indeed. He'i doing time In n model pcnlieiiMnry."
