A wild duck roso from the water and.dp- Slc'd yflngly above bla bead with a cflant scream, notln? no move' of the Kaklmo toward tho gun at Ula side. For Akkaynk's thoughts were not with tht Joys of tho buDt as ho swept his kyak with oven strokes toward tlie north, bt only of Iwonna, tho daugh ter of ITony Torrf, tlio prettiest Eskimo' maiucawt the nook ana tne torment or Akknyak's life. For Akkajrak was a so rlous minded and Industrious Individ ual and had, moreover, deep rcltoun convictions Implanted in his breast by( long training at uie miaeionarre school. IIo went about the wooing of Iwonna Jn the same sad and fervent way that bo said his prayers, with the result that the maiden scorned him openly, much to the edification of Spoon, who bad of late chosen to past bis idle moments and most of Spoon's moments were idle around tho cglow of Stony Tom. If only ho Akkayak bad not been a Christlnn! , Matters could baje been easily adjusted then and Spoon wiped from tho fnco of the earth. But of courao this could not be. Akkayak; liked likt as well as any other Eski mo, but he did not want It' served on a fork In' allopathic doabs, and the mte hlpnuryihafl assured hfm that murder ers had1 to tnko It that way after they crossed tllo great divide? Rut havo Iwonna be would despite all tlio Bkoiia in Alaska I Ilia boat grated on the beach,. 'and with this thought , uppermost In his mind bo turned toward her homo and was some what taken back to find his baud rival tented clcfo, very close, to her on an overturned butter case. Tbey wore eating oranges! Shades of extrava gance, oranges! Where bad Spoon pro cured thcni? Akkayak bad bis dark A BTSpsKl UIOnT ILIVD HLOW BENT HPOOM "' wto x ssowDBirr. susplclona, but ha hid them, manfully and greeted tho girl and her companion with a pollto TigldllokoUn.' Iwonna had on a now red calico parka and was prettier and mora Insolent than usuaL Akkayak turned with dignity and strodo to where Stony Tom sot on a pile of skins oqtaldo the cglow door. After a guttural greeting, listlessly returned by Stony Tom, bo epoko asa follows: . I como to ask you to glvo mo Iwon na for my equnw. Good cglow havo I and plqnty good furs and much wood for tho winter's coming. Plenty otf dricd'tomcod also havo I, and no man's dogs nro better than uilnp. Aud I my self am a Christian man and good and' drink no white .man's whisky. In my oglow Iwonna can live all tho saxno as white woman and Iwonna's father ' shlno as tbo sun." Stony Tom shifted Ids tobacco to tho other cido of his capacious mouth and replied briefly: "Mo liko you. You got plenty Uow bow (food), plenty good cglow, Iwonna him llko .Spoon. Me speak Iwonna like you. Iwonna go Quick to Spoon. Mp wait You wait. By andNby plenty good time." ,Aml withncb advice Akkayak was fain to be content ntf had no other rival. True, Okbauk, from Capo Prince of Wales, camo occasionally to boo Stony Tom, but be novor looked at Iwonna. AfiJ thus moons waxed and waned, and, tho great whlto silence fell, so that thcf'Bultors of Iwonnji went by Bled to tho. Nook. And tlip old Eskimo womon put their heads tfigothor aud eatd It was e shamo thovay the girl acted. I Wliftt did the men bco In tho, creature anyway Groat.' starfna eyes aud irllBBBflv 9 1 ssoHth &( rkgled eorttWuallyf Be reUy thy all hoped the girl's choice would fall on Spoon, leaving Akknyak for one of their daughter, fW Akknyak was a "cstch." The oM men said the fact that Stony Tom favored the suit of Akkayak made It quite certain that she would not choose him, and they banked largely upon Spoon But Iwonna kept her own counsel tnd accepted all tributes 0 oranges and loaf sugar with a placid smile. Sb was careful, however, to decline all gifts of wearing apparel proffered bf either suitor, for with the accept- tacff of such garment alio would have pledged herself id take the giver "for better or for worse." Then there came a time when Ak knyak, on bis way to Gold Run creek with hi dog, toam, met Spoon on the trail coming to town. Spoon said a few forcible things and Akkayak for got his religious training. Over and over they tumbled, and the Mala moot dogs sat down in Interested astonish ment 'to watch the fray, -'ttnally a strong right arm 'blow of Akkayak sent Spoon headlong Into a snowdrift, and H was some time before he staggered to bis feet and glared talofuliy out of his uninjured eye at bU bated fo, "Ugh!" panted Akkayak. "too no go to Iwonna's eglow any more." Spoon fairly danced with rage as be gasped: "Iwonna like me. She no like you. She say yoa all the same as white man!" Tki was a blow, indeed, but Akka yak knew that veracity was not Spoon's strong point 8U1L It did sound like Iwonna's way of talking. After some further altercation tbey agreed to set out forthwith for the Nook and tell the fickle maiden .that she must choose ono or the other. True, they did not look as presentable as they could have wished for such an errand, but the thing must be settled. Spoon bad one eye closed and his garments much be spattered with gore. Akkayak's upper lip was twice Its natural Hlze, and his parka, torn midway off bis back, dan gled forlornly about bis heels. lie looked anything but the decent Chris tian Eskimo of other, calmer, days. Ko word was spoken untU they were al most at the Nook, when an unwonted stir about the village caused each to pause and give an astonished "Ugh I" All the Eskimos In the little settle-, ment seemed to be out and about tho cglow of Stony Tom. Was Stony Tom dead? Akkayak thought It possible, for the old man bad been complaining of Into. Ab, well, all old people must dlo some time, and .squaws who were orphans were really more desirable. Enlightenment was not long In com ing. Out from his eglow stepped Stony Tom, and behind him came Okbauk holding Iwonna by the hand. The girl was dressed In a new and much em broidered sine fur parka and looked very meek. Beside the door stood Ok bauk'a new sled with Ivory runners and six good Malamoot dogs bitched there to with fancy harness and Jingling bells. Okbauk 'tenderly placed Stony Tom and Iwonna on the sled, wrapped them carefully In furs and, taking his place on the trail ahead of his team, started off toward the north and the home be had prepared for his squaw. Spoon looked at Akkayak and Akka yak looked at Spoon. For the second time that day Akkayak threw religion to the winds and emphatically swore. Ttxa, they turned with one accord and started for Teller In a silence that could be felt After a time Spoon said gently, "Get ting plenty cold weather." "Yes," responded Akkayak; "plenty cold." Tk sla-lit eC Bea. A bee has thrco small, simple cyea, placed In a triangle at the top of the head, at tbo sides of which ore a pair of very large compound eyes. It Is generally thought that the former serve for near vision and the latter for seeing things at a distance. Various experi ments and calculations havo been made to determine tbo range of tbo com pound cyea, but as they are very differ ent In structure from our own it la dlfil- cult to como to any certain conclusions. Claparcdo states that at a dlstanco of twenty feet an ordinary hive be la ' unablo to seo anything that la not nt lrnst eight or nlno Inches across, but IiOwne Is of opinion that objects of from half an Inch to an Inch In diame ter can be distinguished at that dis tance. It he la correct It follows that largo objects might bo discerned when as much na hundred feet away. That bees fly straight to their hives or nests from long distances probably docs not imply keen sight, for wo kuow that many of the lower animals' nro endowed with a sense of direction far more acuto than anything of thu kind which wo possess. A Sailor's Yarn Orlstaal Tho Btorra waa over"' ,Jhe sun went down In a flrfrae of gold and crimson, and ns Boon as tho crew had been propped up after a long fast and every moment fighting to save tho Bhlp wa set about repairing what damages we could before sight eame a and mak ing thing taut Then, halving the watches that it U1 fikight get seme sleep' within, the first four hours, sJjc of us tept awake while Ae otaer1 h!x s1apV' Wo were tea before the mat,' btriM the captain asti a mate; I on watch Mt ad 'a water cask, for) I was tof tired to staad and after, fighting, sleep Ml had sot fought the wind and waves had Jtwt lost myself, when I was aroaeed by the most un earthly shriek that ever had sounded In that good ok! ship. It net only awakened me, but the rest ef tfcr watch, the belraenHm laelttdeel, aud those below easae twtabtliig u f-rem the forecastle, while the eaptala's head stood out woaderfagly above the eosa panlonway. , "Who's hurtr he cried. "No one on deck," rtpHed the matft "Uow Is It with you from below?" "We're all right" There were live of them. On deck were the other five sail ors besides the, captain and the mate. As soon as It was known that all were present a fear fell on the men, the mate, on all except the captain. At any rate If he was frightened he didn't show It, though the affair nettled, him. "What are you Btandlng there for like a fleck o sheep?" be roared. "Come, you," to me, "and you," to the mate. "We three should be enough for some gibbering ape that must have come aboard at the last port and la nuking havoc below with the eatable earge." Down the companlonway and down Into the"' hold wT went the captain lighting the wny with a lantern. We searched the hold from stem te stern, but nothing did we find, thengh if any one bad chosen to hide be" could have done it ami we been no wiser, for the boxes and barrels had been wall shak en by the storm and needed a let' of fixing, and at last the captain, mere disgruntled than before, led ne np to tho deck. , We were, met by nine in quiring faces, but had nothing to re port, and the eaptaln, snarling some thing like "snperstlttous curs," Instead of giving any Information went to Ms cabin. Twice during the night the yell was repeated front the hold, bat whether tho ojiptaln preferred to put off any further seareh till day or was himself converted to the belief that the ship wns haunted he did not again appear. For my part, I have no fear of ghotfts, but ln-lts stead I was bom with a deal of curiosity. Once when I was sleep ing below and the tiling shrieked I stole out of my bunk and, taking a light, went down to make another try to find the cause. I was groping along, climbing over boxes and barrel when I received a shock that drew a shriek rivaling those we had heard, for sud denly my light revealed a face so wild, . nu oye so brilliant with despair, that for a moment I did not doubt I had come upon a lost soul risen from the place of departed spirits. A man was Bitting on a barrel, his 1 legs crossed under him, looking at me with no more surprise than If I had ' been there"'always. Fee a momont.I. was not sure that he was a man, for his expression was neither that of the living nor of the dead. Never before had I realized the force of the expreealoa of "marrow freezing In one's bones." Bnt reason soon comes back Into play, and In a few moments I knew I was confronted by a maniac, now or when or why he bad come to he there I left for nnother time. What filled my mind then waa how to get him out "Come with me," I said softly, yet with i firmness. And, advancing, I took bold of his clammy hand. To my sur prise, he suffered me to lead him like a little child, and, making our way' through and over the cargo, I led him on deck. The dawn had meanwhile come, and a faint light gave a better sight of him. , lie had on the shreds of a sailor's cos tume, but nothing on hie head or feet I called the mate, who came staring, and I gave him a briar, account of how I had found our new shipmate. We questioned him, but got no reply. While we were trying to get something out of him the captain came on deck. A sailor Btandlng on the bowsprit called out that there was a raft lashed to the chains. That revealed the whole mutter. The man had been wrecked, had taken to the raft, struck our ship In tho night and after lashing bis float clambered on deck. But how in his frenzied condition be had tlio natural sense to do so is a matter rather for those who have studied lunacy than a sailor man with no education. Wq took the man down to the galley and gave him the first thing soma warm broth. This we followed by meet nnd little by little lot him have a fair meal. His reason returned! and he told ua of his dhlp being put on beam ,en.da In tho storm, his tnklng.to the raf fwtth soven othora, who werd al washed off, remembering everything till the kst innn left him, and he wns nlono watehVf Ing every mountain billow, expecting that It would Bend him to Join his loet' companions. Ills meeting our ship, the Inshlng of the raft to the chains, hta ' getting into the hold and what ha did there, we-re a perfect blank to him. Whenever I have spun this yarn tht doubters havo Invnriahly hit oh.whav tbey call the weak polHts flfstfhott, could pe man have lashed 'lihf raft Why wouldn't ho rather have'cll(nlMf up andjet It go? My theory is the b did tlilafihlng In a iectnaate WwWat 1 oouldiVt have left the one and got itf the othur wtthout'Iashlng. ,' V F KDOAR T. THORPK A'iJi t- ( ,...;,, -- jn: 'jitiEr'Tj wrwm
