Ciih annual race for the $100
prtwj and championship cup of
the I'pper river was over, and
Harold Stetson was looking
ruefully at hi craft, which had Jusl
missed winning thn coveted trophies
It was a bitter disappointment because
the lei yacht he hud built with such
skill and labor was reully the faster
boat of the two, which haft run neck
and neck for the prlxe across a stretch
of five miles of slilinini'rljig lee. For
six months he had been preparing for
the nico, spending his odd moments Id
perfecting every little detail that
might In the crucial moment decide
the contest. In a fair trial and a fair
field ho had been confident of victory
Others had not shared this belief tin
til they had neeu the burst of speed
which the lee King developed In the
last mile of the race. Then Harold
had sent her down the course with all
the skill of good maneuvering, and the
jacht bad fairly leaped Into the air to
skim merrllly over rather than on the
Ice.
ny, she only seemed to touch
about ever- hundred feet!" some one of
the spectators exclaimed In udmlra-
tlon.
"I never saw her equal before," add
cd another.
"'I lie young fellow who owns het
built her, they say," volunteered
third critic. "If so he'll take the prlr.
uext year."
" ell, It was too bad. Hy rights the
prize should go to him. It wasn't fair."
These remarks were pleusant to hear,
but thoy did not change the condition
of uffulrs. The race was lost-lost to
him and won by one who did not need
the money as Harold did.
ChetHon Allison had not played fair,
and none knew It better than the two
contestants for the prize. At the crit
ical moment when the Ice King was
rushing down in a spurt which would
have enrrlcd her to victory with
handsome margin Chetson had altered
his course, elmnged It so that a colli
sion wus Inevitable) unless Harold wus
willing to saerlQco the race. It wus a
trick which the judges could not well
define from their distant position.
Chetson said that it was nn accident.
His willingness to confess and apolo
glze lunde it impossible for Harold to
protest.
A bruve mariner might have kept on
his course, some thought. "I wouMn't
have veered an Inch for him," remark
ed oiik. "He could have smashed into
me, but I'd have the race." :
This Harold also knew was within
his rights, but there wera reusons
which be could not explain. The Ice
King had not been built primarily for
a racer nor exactly for a pleasure craft.
It was modeled and built by Harold to
help him in his winter's work on the
Upper river. All through the winter
when Ice covered the river he Journey
ed up and down the stream, carrying
tho products of the chase on his lea
yacht to and from market.
To amnsh his yacht In a collision sim
ply to maintain hla rights or even to
win the coveted prize was hardly good j
policy. It would have crippled hhn all 1

But almost simultaneous with her
disappearance there cauie a crash out
was a faint response, and then t
growl and yelp of a wolf. It was a
blood curdling yelp, followed quickly
by another and then a human cry,
Harold trembled with excitement and
wonder, Suddenly out of the gloom
ahead he caught sight of a huge, form
less object on the ice. Instinctively he
guessed Its meaning. It was th
broken mast and suil of the Snow
Bunting pii.d in wreckless dlsordei
over the craft.
But beside It and tugging away at
something near the sail were half a
dozen dark bodies which he recognized
as huge, hungry wolves. It was a crlt
leal moment, and for an Instant Har
old did not know how to act. Ht
shouted loudly to frlghteu the wolves
away, heading his boat directly fot
them as If to run them down.' Th
lee King was now sailing directly in
the wind again, 'and she was clipping
along at a speed which made the ice
fly.
The wolves snarled and snapped, an
grily resenting this great object fly
Ing toward them. But they did not re
treat They had run down one such
creature and found It to be made of
wood and cloth. What ham could
there come, then, from this new one
looming up out of the darkness?
Their brief challenge, however, gave
both Harold and Chetson a moment to
think and breathe. The latter stag
gered to his feet and dragged himself
to one side. Then a huge wolf leaped
upon him again and pulled him sprawl
lug to the Ice. Harold shouted to
frighten the beast, but it was no use.
The animal was hungry and savage.

and
wind was favorable and blowing a

dozen other boats heading up stream,
too, all bound for home. The Ice King
brought up tho rear of the pretty procession.
Iu hulf nn hour Harold had nnsswi
all the boats in the procession except
tme. This craft was so far ahead that
he doubted If it had been In the races.
It was probably some craft belonging
to ono of the yacht clubs farther up
the river and wns making a solitary
trip to some distant point.
Steadily, however, the Ice King over-
hauled her, gaining so rapidly on her
that Harold concluded that the owner
of It was In no hurry to complete his
ourney. Fifteen minutes luter he
studied the outline of the sail ahead
and then muttered half aloud, "It's
Chetson In the Snow Bunting!"
Immediately he felt the blood mount-
lng to his forehead, and his eyes flash
ed. Tho winner of the prize was half
a mile ahead of him and going In the
same direction. Silently the Ice King
crept up on the boat ahead, and then
Harold shouted:
"Hello, Chetson! Let's have another

upon it as the yacht swept past them.
There they stood In the dim light,
cowering with fear and dread, on the
forward part of the yacht The unex
pected speed which carried them along
had robbed them of all anger and
spirit. They crouched closely to the
boat, uttering low whines and snarls,
but not daring to move forward or
Jump from the flying craft.
When Chetson was securely pulled
on the Ice King, Harold saw his two
passengers in the front and for a mo

spring upon them. But when he saw
their craven fear he laughed.
"Look, Chetson! Isn't that sight
worth all our danger? Did you ever

"It's a pretty sad wreck, and"
"Probably not so bad as you think.
We'll go back In the morning and pick
It up," replied Harold. "You'll have
