Eskimo. They may be called the people
of the North Pole, for they dwell far
ther north than any other race and par
tially surround . the Arctic- end of the
earth axis.
According to the Encyclopedia Ameri
cana, the total number of Eskimos In ex
istence does not exceed 40,000, and these
are scattered all across the northern end
of America, tho Arctio Islands. Green
land, and a part of the coast of Siberia.
How did the come to be where they
are: TMd their race spring Into existence
la the far north, independent, front the
besnnma;, of the ether races of man
kind; or are they the descendants of
some ancient, forgotten people, driven
toward the north by a stronger race, or
by oilmaUo changes, in prehistoric times?
An exceedingly romantic and fascinat
ing theory concerning the origin of the
Ksktraoa Is that ef Prof. Boyd Dawklns,
who maintained that they were the sole
survivors of the prehistorta "cave' men'
Of western lQorope. The arguments In
favor of this view are clearly summed
Up In Prof. John Fluke's "Discovery .
America."

NINTH EPISODE.
Tommy was In ' a position at once
ridiculous and terrible. He strove to free
himself without hurting the woman.
Then came a rush of heavy feet up the
stair, and the bedroom door was carried
inward clean off its hunges, and through
the opening come Ounsdorf. Rage had
transformed him into a beast. It was
fortunate that he was unarmed.
To him it must have appeared as if
his wife had just torn herself free from
Tommy. At the threshold of the room
Stood Gunsdorf's three friends, st once
menacing and abashed.
"What is Itr thundred Ounsdorf.
There was a silence. Then Mrs. Guns
4orf spoke, ber hands at her throat, as
if with difficulty.
"He was hiding behind the door," she
said; "when I'd passed into the room,
he slsmmed it shut and went for me."
"Is this trueT" Ounsdorf faced him and
advanced toward blm, with clenched
bands.
"She'll tell you next," said Tommy,
"that I locked the door and put the key
in my pocket."
He spoke with so much scorn and as
surance that Gunsdorf hesitated, and
turned toward his wife.
"It's Just what he did do," she said;
"he locked the door and put the key in
his pocket."
Tommy's hands dropped into the pocket
of his jacket, and bis right hand closed
upon the door key. He did not need to
speak. Ills face told the story. Elowly
he withdrew the key from his pocket and
toaaed it onto the thread-bare carpet.
"This looks bad, Gunndorf," be said;
"but if you'll listen to me"
"I will listen to yon in hell." said
Gunsdorf. "Take him. boys."
Gunsdorf s three friends cams slowly
forward.
"They're going to kill Die if they can,"
thought Tommy; "and I don't want to be
killed."
He drew a long breath and clenched his
fists.
"Uon't kill him." cried Mrs. Gunsdorf
suddenly, "not yet"
"Why not yet?" growled Gunsdorf.
"Because, you fool. If you kill bun here
In my room people will Uuuk "

"They wilt think oh, don't make me
say it."
Gunsdorf began to scratch the back of
his head.
"That Is true," he said presently. "We
had better take him away somewhere.
For now we will tie toim. When It is
dark we will take him away somewhere
in a carriage. We will take with us a
stick of dynamite. A stick of danlmlte
with a lighted fuse makes a fine gag to
go in a man's mouth. It keeps him quiet
forever."
"You don't need) to take him away."
aM Mrs Gunsofrrf;, "there's a fine
strong elm tree in front of the house.
Take htm downstairs, call in the boys,
and read them Che telegram he's got in
bis Inside pocket Nobody need mention
me and the boys' U do the rest.
The dirty spy.-"
Ounsdorf and his three friends closed
In upon Tommy from three sides. Mrs.
Gunsdorf crept stealthily along the wall
to .take him In the rear.
"Gunsdorf," said Tommy suddenly,
"Just read that telegram. You can't
hang a man on that. It's from the man
who adopted me and brought me up. We
differed because I am on Uie side of
labor. He says he wants to see me on
important business. That doesn't make
me a spy, does it? Be reasonable."
Ordinarily, for Gunsdorf had an Intelli
gent mind, he would have placed a Just
value upon the telegram as evidence
against Tommy, just now his reason
was blinded by jealous rage. It is doubt
ful if he even read the telegram. He
crumpled It in tils hand and thrust it into
his trouser'a pocket
At that moment, seeing that the affair
had passed beyond reason and debate.
Tommy stepped quickly forward and
U'ted Gunsdorf clean from the floor with
a terrific right-hand blow under the point
or the ctrln. gwtft as lightning he turned
and struck the nearest of Gunsdorf's
friends between the eyes. ' This cleared
the way to tho door, and he sprang to
ward it but only to fall heavily on his
face, for Mrs. Gunsdorf had grappled
him from behind about the ankles.
A minute later they had him over
powered and tUd hlin hand and foot.
Fifteen minutes later Tommy stood on
the top of a stepladder, surrounded by an
enraged mob of men and women who
showered vile epithets upon htm. The
stepladder stood Immediately under the
limb oi great elm tree. With this limb
Tommy .. was loosely connected by a
length of quarter-inch hemp rope. Other
ropes had been attached to the foot of
the ladder upon which he stood, so that
at a signal It could be yanked suddenly
from under him.
ivmmy was not rrli'iit'-neu. He was
dued front rough handling, and somehow
be couldn't believe that they really meant
to hurt him. It was merely an unpleas
ant dream from whicn he would presently
waken safe in bed. Then hts roaming
eyes mt Uunsdorfs. Giinsdorf no lodges
looked strong snd terrible, but shrunken
and pujtaled- Ilia eyes blinked with great
rapidity. Presently, Tonuny caught slht
of lira. Gunsdorf. He shook his head
gently at her, as much as to say, "Tou
know you really ought not to be such a
story tellerl"

Why I Married a
By DOROTHY DIX.
"Hvery marrlsge," said the Middle
Aged mun, reflectively, "is a profound
mystery to the bystanders, but a sec
ond marriage is an Insoluble enigma that
they do not even
try to solve. Ro
mance and the
foolhardy daring of

those who have
ascertained from
experience the
perils cf matrimony
tempt its dangers
again T
It looks, to the
outsider, as If the
msn or woman
who had been hap
pily married the
first time would
be afraid to marry
again on the princi
ple that lightning does not strike twice
in the same place, and that he or stie
could not hope to find again a mate equal
to the first, and that he or she would
refuse "a lesser love," as the poet puts
""Also it looks as If those who had been
unhappily married, and who bad, their
fingers in the matrimonial fires couldn't
be dragged by wild horses within tele
phoning distance of the altar again.
"But nothing of the kind happens. Ex
perience seems to cut no Ice In matri
mony. Those who have been happily
married, and those who have been un
happily married, rush blithely back Into
the holy estate and leave us wondering
why.
"In my own case It was necessity. It
was because a wife was the only answer
to a tragio domestto problem. It was
because only a woman's hands, and the
hands of a lady, were strong enough and
gentle enough to save for one all that I
held of worth in the world.
"And whatever else I have given to
my second wife, I have given to her a
passionate gratitude whose depths she
does not even guess, because I dare not
tell her how desperate was my need of
her.
"When I was a young chap I married
a nice girl, and we lived contentedly and
happily enough together. I was no saint
-1 she was no angel, and we had
little ups and downs, b'lt we were build
ing up together, too, and) were absorbed
in that and in our home and little boy.
"Then, after ten years of this pleasant
Tarbey and Joan existence, my wife died
suddenly in that most tragio of all
deaths, when she gave her life for that
of a little daughter.
"At her death, all the old tenderness
and romance rushed back upon me, snd
I was heartbroken, and then In the mldt
of my grief I was confronted with- the
appalling domestic situation that her loss
had created. Both Mary's mother and
mine had long passed away, neither ono

Leading artists are Almost Invariably
