The Adventure With the Little Man.
T? WISIIT you wasn't so set in your
J w.iys." Shorty demurred. "1'ra
sure scairt of that sliicier. No
man ought to tackle it by his
lonely."
Smoke laughed cheerfully anil ran
his rye up the glistening face of the
tiny glacier that filled the liead of t!ie
valley. "Here it is August already,
r.nd the days have been gottfnir "shorter
for two months." he epitomized the sit
uation. "You kr.tw quartz, aud I
don't. Hut I can bring up the grub,
wliile you keep after that mother l-jde.
ifo long. I'll be bui-k by tomorrow
evening."
He turned and started.
"1 pot a hunch somethin's goin to
happen." Shorty plea. led after hiiu.
Hut Smokes reply was a bantering
lauh. He hehl on down the tittle val
ley, occasionally wi'.ng the sweat from
his forehead, the while his feet crush
ed through ripe mountain raspberries
and delicate ferns that giew beside
patches of sun sheltered ice.
In the early spring he and Shorty
ha I come to the Stewart river and
launched out iuto the amazing chaos
of the region where Surprise lake lay.
And all of the spring and half of the
summer had been consumed in futile
wanderings, when, on the vcr.ge of
turning back, they caught their first
glimpse of the ballling. gold bottomed
sheet of water which had lured and
fooled a generation of miners.
Making their camp in the old cabin
which Smoke had discovered on his
previous visit, they learned three
things first, heavy nugget gold was
carpeted thickly on the lake bottom;
next, the gold cou'd be dived for In
the shallower portions, but the temper
ature of the water was man killing,
and, finally, the draining of the lake
was too stupendous a task for two men
In the shorter half of a short summer.
Undeterred, reasoning from the coarse
ness of the gold that it had not trav
eled far, they had set out in search of
the mother lode. They had crossed the
big glacier that frowned on the south
ern rim and devoted themselves to the
puzzling maze of small valleys and
canyons beyond, which, by most un-mountnln-Iike
methods, drained, or had
at one time drained, into the lake.
The valley Smoke was descending
gradually widened after the fashion of
nnv normal valley, but at the lower
end it pinched narrowly between high,
precipitous walls and abruptly stopped
in a cross wall. At the base of this, in
a welter of broken rock, the streamlet
disa pi -cared, evidently finding its way
out underground.
Climbing the cross wall, from the top
Smoke saw the lake beneath him. Un
like any mountain lake he had ever
Mi ii. it was i.ot Line. Instead its in
tense peacoti: green tokened its shal
lowness. It was this shallowness that
xcade its draining feasible. All about
arose jumbled mountains, with iee
scarred peaks and crags, grotesquely
t-ha;ed aid grouped. All was topsy
turvy and unsystematic a Dure night
mare. Across the lake, seemingly not more
than half a mile. but. as he well knew,
five miles away, he cou.d see the bunch
of spruce trees and the cabin. He
looked agaiu to make sure and saw
smoke clear'y rising from the chimney.
Somebody else Lad surprised them
selves into finding Surprise lake, was
his conclusion ss he turned to climb
tho southern wall.
Frm the top of this he came down
Into a litt'e valley, flower floored and
lazy with the hum of bees, that be
haved quite as a reasonable valley
shoa'.d. in so far as it made legitimate
ti.try on the lake. What was wrong
with it was its length scarcely 1X
yards its head a straight un and down
tl:!T of 1.0 feet, over which a stream
pitched itseif in descending veils of
mit.
And here he encountered more
smoke, floating lazily upward in the
warm sunshine, beyond an outjet of
rock. As he came around the corner
he heard a light metallic tap-tapping
aud a merry whistling that kept the
b..-:.t. Then he saw the man. an up
turned shoe between his knees. Into
the sole of which he was driving hob
-pikes.
"Hello!" was the stranger's greet
ing, and Smoke's heart went out to the
man in ready liking. "Just in time
fur a snack. There's coffee in the
rt. a couple of cold flapjacks and
wae jerky."
"I'll go you If I lose." was Smoke's
acceptance as he sat down. "I've been
rather skimped on the last several
uip.ils." but there's oodles of grub over
iu the cabin."
"Across the lake? That's what 1
was heading for."
"Seems Surprise Uk? is becoming
populous." Smoke complained, empty
lug the coffeepot.
."LONDON.
th Wheeler Syndicate.
"Go on, you're joking, aren't you?"
the man said, surprise painted on his
face.
Smoke laughed. "That's the way it
takes everybody. You see those high
ledges across there to the northwest?
There's where I first saw it. No warn
ing. Just suddenly caught the view
of the whole lake from there. I'd giv
en up looking for it too."
"Same here." the other agreed. "I'd
headed -back and was expecting to
fetch the Stewart last night when out
I popped in sight of the lake. If that's
it Where's the Stewart? And where
have I been all the time? And how
did you come here? And what's your
name?"
"Iiellew Kit Dellew."
"Oh. I know your" The man's eyes
and face were bright with a Joyous
smile, and his hand flashed eagerly out
to Smoke's, "I've beard all about you."
He was a slender man. wiry with
health, with quick black eyes and a
magnetism of camaraderie.
"And this is Surprise lake?" be mur
mured incredulously. "And its bot
tom's buttered with gold?"
"Sure. There's some of the churn
ing." Smoke dipped In his overalls
pocket and brought forth half a dozen
nnggets.
"Weil, gosh-dnsh my dincbats. if you
haven't beaten me to it," Carson swore
whimsically, but his disappointment
was patent. "And I thought I'd scoop
ed the whole caloodle. Anyway, I've
had the fun of getting here.
Funr Smoke cried. "Why. if we
can ever get onr hands on all that bot
tom we'll make nockefeller look like
CO cents."
"But it's yours," was Carson's objec
tion. "Nothing to it. my friend. You've
got to realize that no gold deposit like
it has been discovered in all the histo
ry of mining. It will take you and me
and my partner and all the friends
we've got to lay our hands on it. All
Bonanza and Eldorado dumped togeth
er wouldn't be richer than half an acre
down there. The problem is to drain
the lake. It will take millions. And
there's only one thing I'm afraid of
There's so much of it that if we fail to
control the output it will bring about
the demonetization of go!J."
"And yon tell me" Carson broke
off, speechless and amazed.
"Am glad to have you. It will take
a year or two. with all the money we
can raise, to drain the lake. It can be
done. I've looked over the ground.
But it will take every man in the coun
try that's willing to work for wages.
We'll need an army, and we need right
now decent men in on the ground floor.
Are you in?"
"Am I in? Don't I look it? I feel so
much like a millionaire that I'm real
timid about crossing that big glacier.
Couldn't afford to break my neck now.
Wish I had some more of those hob
spikes. I was just hammering the last
in when you came along. How's
yours? Tret's see."
Smoke held up his foot.
"Worn smooth as a skating rink!"
Carson cried. "You've certainly been
hiking some. Wait a minute, and I'll
pull some of mine out for you."
But Smoke refused to listen. "Be
sides." he said. "I've got about forty

feet of rope cached where we take th
ice. Mr partner and I used it coming
..Si
over. It will be a cinch." "
It was a hard, hot climb. The sun
blazed dazzlingiy on the Ice surface,
and with streaming pores they panted
from the exertion. There were places,
crisscrossed by countless fissures and
crevasses, where an honr of dangerous
toil advanced them no more than a
hundred yards. At 2 in the afternoon
beside a pool of water bedded in the
ice Smoke called a halt
- "Let's tackle some of that jerky." he
sahL "I've been on short allowance,
and my knees lire shaking. Besides,
we're across the worst. Three hundred
yards will fetch us to the rocks, and
it's easj- going, except for a couple of
nasty fissures and one bad one that
heads us down toward the bulge.
There's a weak ice bridge there, but
Shorty and I managed it."
"I'm lighterthau yon by forty pounds,"
Carson said. "Let me go first."
They stood on the edge of the cre
vasse. It was enormous and ancient,
fully 10O feet across, with sloping, age
eaten sides instead of sharp angled
rims. At this one place it was bridged
by a huge mass of pressure hardened
snow that was itself half Ice. Even
the bottom of this mass they could not
see. much less the bottom of the cre
vasse. Crumbling and melting, the
bridge threatened imminent collapse.
"Looks pretty bad." Carson admitted
with an ominous head shake.
"But we've got to tackle it." Smoke
said. "We can't camp here on the ice
all night. Ahd there's uo other way.
Shorty and 1 explored for a mile up. It
was in better shape, though, when we
crossed."
"It's one at a time, and me first."
Carson took the part coil of rope from
Smoke's hand. "You'll have to cast
off. I'll take the rope and the pick.
Gimme your hand so I can slip down
easy."
Slowly and carefully he loweruJ him
self the several feet to the bridge,
where he stood, making final adjust
ments for the perilous traverse. On
his back was his pack outfit. Around
his neck, resting on his shoulders, he
coiled the rope, one end of which was
still fast to his waist.
"I'd give a mighty good part of my
millions right now for a bridge construc
tion gang." he said, bnt hi cheery,
whimsical smile belied the words.
The pick and the long stick he used
as an alpenstock he balanced horizon
tally after the manner of a ropewalk
er. He thrust one foot forward tenta
tively, drew it back and steeled him
self with a visiole physical effort.
"I wish I was flat broke," he smiled
up. "If ever I get out of being a mil
ionaire this time I'll never be one
again."
"It's all right," Smoke encouraged.
"I've been over It before. Better let
me try It first."
"Aud you forty pounds to the
worse," the little man flashed back
"I'll be all right iu a minute. I'm all
right now," as his foot went out. this
time to rest carefully and lightly, while
the other foot was brought up and
past.
Very gently and circumspectly he
continued on his way until two-thirds
of the distance was covered. Here he
stopped to examine a depression he
must cross, at the bottom of which
was a fresh crack. Smoke, watching,
saw him glance to the side and down
into the crevasse itself and then begin
a slight swaying.
"Keep your eyes
manded sharply. "Now, go on
The little man obeyed nor faltered
on the rest of the journey. The sun
eroded slope of the farther edge of the
crevasse was slipiory, but not steep,
and he worked his way up to'a nar
row ledge, faced about and sat down.
"Your turn." he called across. "But
just keep a-comiag. and don't look
down. That's what got my goat. Just
keep a-coinlug. that's all. And get a
move on. It's almighty rotten."
Balancing his own stick horizontal
ly. Smoke essayed the passage. That
the bridge was on its last legs was
patent. He felt a jar under foot, a
slight movement of the mass aud a
heavier jar. This was followed by a
single sharp crackle. Behind him he
knew something was happening. If
for no other reason he knew it by the
strained, tense face of Carson. From
beneath, thin and faint, came the mur
mur of running water, and Smoke's
eyes involuntarily wavered to a
glimpse of the shimmering depths. He
jerked them back to the way before
him.
Two-thirds over he came to the de
pression. The sharp edges of the
crack, but slightly touched by the sun,
showed how recent it was. His foot
was lifted to make the steir across
when the crack begin slowly widen
ing, at the same time emitting numer
ous sharp snaps. lie made the step
quickly, increasing the stride of it, but
the worn nails of his shoe skated on
the farther slope of the depression.
He fell on his face and without pause
slipped down and into the crack, his
legs bringing clear, his chest supported
by the stick, which he had managed
to twist crosswise as he fell.
His first sensation was the nausea
caused by the sickening upleap of his
pulse; his first idea was of surprise
that he had faileu no farther. Behind
him were crackling and jar and move
ment, to which the stick vibrated.
From beneath, in the heart of the gla
cier, came the soft and hollow thunder
of the dislodged masses strikiug bot
tom. And still the bridge, broken
from its farthest support aud ruptured
In the middle. he"!d. though the iortiou
he had crossed tilted downward at a
pitch of twenty degrees.
He could see Carson, perched on his
ledge, his feet braced against the melt
ing surface, swiftly recoiling the rope
frouj his shoulders to Lis hand.
"Wait:" he cried. "Dou't move, or
the whole shooting match will come
down."'
He calculated the distance with
quick glance, took the bandanna from
his neck and tied it to the rope and
increased the length by a second ban
canna rroin uis pocicct. The rope.
manufactured from sled lashings and
short lengths of plaited rawhide knot
ted together, was both light and
strong, xue ursi casi was iuck.v as
well as deft, and Smoke's fingers
clutched it. He evidenced a hand
over hand intention of crawling out of
the crack. But Carson, who had re
rastenea tne rope around nis own
waist, stopped him.
"31aKe it last arouna yourself as
well," be ordered.
"If 1 go I'll take you with me.'
Smoke objected.
The little man became very peremp
tory.
"Yoa shut up!" he ordered.
"If I ever start going" Smoke be
gan.
"Shut np! You ain't going to ever
start going. Now do what I say
That's right under the shoulders
Make it fast. Now start. Get a niovc
on. but easy as you go. I'll take in
the slack. You just keep a-comiog
That's it. Easy, easy."
Smoke was still a dozen feet away
when the final collapse of the bridge
began. Without uoise, but in a Jerky
way. it crumbled an Increasing tilt.
"Quick!" Carson called, coiling it:
band over hand on the slack of the
rope which Smoke's rush gave him.
When the crash came Smoke's flu
gers were clawing into the bard fact
of the wall of the crevasse, while bis
body dragged back with the falling
bridge. Carson, sitting up, feet widi
apart and braced, was heaving oiT the
rope. This effort swung Smoke in t
the side of the wall, but it jerked Car
son out of his niche. Like a cat he
faced about, clawing wildly for a hold
on the ice and slipping down. Be
neath him, with forty feet of taut rop
between them. Smoke was clawing
just as wildly, and ere the thuudei
from below announced the arrival ot
the bridge both men had come to rest
Carson had achieved this first, and the
several pounds of pull he was able t
put on the rope had helped to brint
Smoke to a stop.
Each lay in a shallow niche, but
Smoke's was so shallow that, tense
with the f train oT the flattening and
sticking, nevertheless he would have
slid on bed it not been for the slight
assistance he took from the rope, ne
was on the verge of a bulge and could
not see beneath hiro.
