said, halting on his snowshoes smd

Shorty left the j:ee poie and joined
him. and together they gared down oa
the l.-ody of a man beside the trah.
"U'tll fed." said Smoke.
"Look at them lips." said Shorty.
"Stiff sts a poker." said Smoke, lift

the whole body.
Ti e tur'.n lay on his side, solidly
frozen. From the fact thsit no sme.v

"There was a frenersii fall of snow

No more corpses delayed them, and

Smoke knocked at a lighted cabiu
and was followed iu by Shortv in sin-

were pain racked and whose cheeks

i In i'"p:y :h;- pointed at hi-
mouth, spreading black stnd swollen
! lips in the effort, and Smoke recoiled
i at the siaht.
I "Scurvy," he c: uttered to Shorty.
and the man confirmed the disignosis
with a nod of the head.
"Plenty of srrub'" Shorty asked.
"Yep." was the answer from si man
in another bunk. "Help yourself.
There's slathers of it. The cabin ncii
on the other side is empty. Cache is
riirht alongside. Wside into it."
In every cabin they visited that
r.ilit they found si similar sitmilion.
Scurvy had smitten the whole camp.
Oriinsiliy there had been' ninety-three
men and wunien. lint ten Had died
and two had recently disappeared
Smoke told of finding the two and ex
pressed surprise that none had gone
that short distance down the trsiil to
(hid out for themselves. What par
ticularly struck him su:J Shorty was
the helplessness of these people. Their
csibins were littered sind dirty. A csib
in's troubles were its own troubles.
si::d already they had ceased from the
exertion of burying their dead.
"It's almost weird." Smoke confided
to Shorty. "I re met shirkers and loaf
ers, but 1 never met so many all at one
time. You heard what they said.
They've nivrr done a tap. I'll bet they
haven't washed their own faces. No
wonder they got scurvy."
"P.ut vegetarians hadn't ought to get
scurvy." Shorty contended. "It's the
salt meat eaters that's supposed to fali
for it. And they don't eat meat, salt
or fresh, raw or cooked, or any other
way."
Smoke shook his head. "I know.
And it's vegetable diet that cures scur
vy. No drugs will do it. Vegetables,
especially potatoes, are the only dope
I'.ut don't forget one thing. Shorty: we
arc-not up against a theory, but a con
liition. The fact is these grass eaters

me'll get it too if wo hang around this
diggiu."
Smoke laughed skeptically and
knocked on a cabin doer.
"What do you want?" came a wo
man's sharp voice.
"We want to see you." Smoke an
swered "Who are you?"
"Two doctors from Dawson." Shorty
blurted in. with a levity that brought a
punch in the short ribs from Smoke's
elbow.
"Don't want to see any doctors." the
woman said in tones cr5-p and stac
cato. "Go away. Good night. We
don't believe in doctors."
Smoke pi-Ued the latch, shoved the
door open sind entered, turning up the
low flamed kerosene lamp so that he
could see. In four bunks tour women
ceased from grosining and sighing to
stsire at the intruders Two were
young, thin fated creatures: the third
5 ir. el.Tcrly ;.;;d vc stout woman,
nnd the fourth, the one whom Smoke
identified by hor voie, was the thin
nest, frailest specimen of the human
race lie had ever seen
As he quickly learned, she was Lanrsi
Sibley, the seeress and professional
clairvoyant, who had organized tne er
pedition in Las Angeles and led it io
this death camp on the Nordbeska.
The conversation that ensued wan
acrimonious. Laura Sibley did not be
lieve in dectors: also, to add to ner
purgatory, she had well uign ceased
to believe in Herselt.
"Why didn't you send out for Help?"
Smoke asked when st:e pauses, breath
less and exhausted from Her initial
tirade. "There's a csimp at Stewart
river, and eighteen days travel would
fetch Dawson from here."
"Why didn't Amos Went worth go?"
she demanded, with a vvrsith that bor
dered on hysteria.
"Don't know the gent Ionian. " Smoke
countered. "Wmit's he been doing?'
"Nothing, except that he s the only
one that hasn't caught the scurvy.
And why hasn't he caught the scurvy?
I'll tell you No. 1 won't. An1 what
would have been the use? Don t i
know? I'm not si fool. Our caches
are tilled wUh every kind of trui:
juice and preserved vegetables v e
sire better situated tha:i any othes
camp in Alaska to fight scurvy. There
Is no prepared vegetable, fruit and
cut fooj we haven't, sind in plenty."
"She's get you there. Smoke." Shorty
exulted. "An" It's si condition, not a
theory. You sny vegetables cure.
Here's the vegetables, an' Where's thc
oure?"
"There's no explanation I tan see.'
mohe acknowledged. "Yet there is
na cam;) in Alaska like this.' I've seen
scurvy a sprinkling of cases here and
there but 1 never saw a whole csimp
with it. uor did I ever see such tern
ble cases, which is neither here nor
there. Shorty. We've got to do what
.e can for these people, but tirst we've'
got to make camp and take care or the
dogs. We il see you in the morning
er Mrs. Sibley."
"Miss Sibley." she bridled. "And
now. young man. if you 'come fooling'
around this cabin with any doctor stutl
I'll till you full of b;rd shot."
Next morning, after daylight. Smoke
c-neum.tered si man csirrying a fieavy
Sied load ot tirewood. He was a little
man. clean looking r.nd spry, who wsiik
rd briskly despite the loath Smoke ex
perienced an immediate dislike.
"What's the matter with you?" he
asked
"Nothing," the little mah answered.
"I know that." Smoke said "That's
v. hy I siskoj you. ou"re Amos Went
worth. Now. why under the sun
haven't you the scurvy like all the
rest ?"
"Heeause I've exercised." came the
quick reply. "There wasn't any need
for any of them to get it if they'd only
get out stnd done something. What
did they do? Growled stnd kicked and
grouched at the cold, the long nights
the hardships, the aches and pains sind
everytliing else. They loafed in their
beds u::;:l they swelled up sind couldn't
leave II. em, t lint's all. Look at me

Smoke followed hrm in.

haven't eaten a meal off an unwashed
dish. No, sir. It mesmt work, and
I've worked, and I haven't the scurvy."
"You've hit the nail on the head."
Smoke admitted. "P.ut 1 see you've
only one bunk. Why so unsociable?"
"Pecause I like to be. It's easier to
clean up for oue than two, that's why.
The lazy blanket loafers! Do you think
that I could have stood one around?
No wonder they got scurvy."
It was very convincing, but Smoke
could not rid himself of his dislike of
the man,
'What's Laura Sibley eot it in fo -
Amos Wentworth shot a quick look
at him. "She's a crank." was the re
ply. "So are we :dl cranks, for that
matter. Hut hesiven ssive me from the
crank that won't wash the dishes that
he cuts off of. sind tints rhat this
crowd of cranks are like "
A few minutes later Smoke was talk
ing with Lsiura Sibley. Supported by
a stick in either hand, she had paused
in hobbling by his cabin.
"Whit have von got. it in for Went
worth for?'" he asked with a sudden
ness that caught her off her guard.
Uer green eyes Hashed, bitterly and
her sore Jips writhed on the vern ot
unconsidered speech. P.ut enl3 a splut
ter of gasping, unintelligible sounds is
sued forth, and then, by a terrible ef
fort, she controlled herself.
"Pecause he's healthy." she panted:
because he hasn't the scurvy; because
lie Is supremely selfish: because lie

because he is letting us rot and die
