CHAPTER XV Continued
"Let nit smoke this In peace and
make up my mind, before wt go back."
Tbey sat, saying nothing, Ned's
thoughts busy with bis own future.
The woman beside hlra was facing the
long years to come, honestly, for the
first time. She knew that her position
was untenable. Sht knew also that
Claude Dabba asked only the priv
ilege of watching over and caring for
Mary, for Ned and for beraelf. He
would ask nothing of her, grateful if
she would stay near them for Mary's
sake, grateful that the children loved
him.
Tolly's mind leaped to Its fine con
clusion. Here was her opportunity.
It might even be that In Claude she
would find the friend and companion
she had missed and longed for, since
Mary bad gone her own way. LHd
not Clauds fact middle age, too, but
wltb philosophy, and brushing aside
Ita disillusions, neither grudged youth
Its due nor shrank from life. Cauda
waa alive, very much so, but of life
he expected little; of himself, much.
Tolly wondered If she would ever
grssp life ss serenely and as firmly as
he did, taking wfiat It gave, grudg
ing nothing that It withheld.
Tolly threw away her cigarette.
"Keady to go back. Nedr
In the library at Claude't home,
Claude and Mary were turning over
plans for the new factory and the pro
posed public library and recreation
room.
"Mother and Ned take long time
on that drive," Mary observed, finally.
"Oh, Dadl do yon think any things
happened V
"Not a bit of It," Cauda told her
tranquilly. "They've Just gone a bit
further than they Intended. Why,
daughter, what's wrong T Mary bad
clutched bla arm.
"Nothing, only I get so worried
nowadays. I never used to. Hut
Ned's a little reckless, don't yon
think r
"No," Caude rose to Ned's defense
sturdily. "Ned's a splendid driver."
Tben he laughed. "Ia it Ned. or your
mother, who's so precious that you
think the Almighty may be Jealous f'
"Ob bush. Father, don't aay It,"
Mary Implored, and then laughed at
herself, helplessly. "See how primi
tive I'm growing, like the heathen
who give ugly names to their best
beloved to shield them from tbt wrath
of tbt gods."
"It's queer," Caude began, mort to
himself then bit daughter, "but the
old folk were so often right My
mother used to say that lovt made
women aavaga tnd men gentle. I
wonder."
"There they are P Mary ran to the
doorway leading to the garden. Hhe
stopped astonished. "Father, some
thing must havt happened. Mother's
getting out."
Caude looked over her shoulder.
"Let me past, Mary. If Tolly's com
ing Into my store, 1 must bt there to
wait on her."
Mary watched htm go, but stood
waiting. She felt a little aad and
alone, Ned came Into tbt room from
tbt ball behind ber.
"Ned Mary said as sht turned,
"has anything happenedr
"Something nice. Mother's com
ing in."
"Mother!" Mary echoed, ber lips
parted to ask a question.
"And before she gets here," Ned
told her hurriedly, coming very close,
"I want to glvt you your freedom. I
think what you wanted la coining
about Mother's going to be reason
able and settlt down for awhllt here,
and you're fret to do aa you Ilka
about about that engagement of
yours, Mary."
He paused, and as sht remained
silent, continued, slowly: "I can't go
on this way. I want you to know that
and to know that Til keep on work
ing with Caude, no matter what hap
pens. Ton set, I simply csn't stick
this, Mary. I'm Just an ordinary able
bodied man, who wants to be married
soon, and expects to be loved, not Just
tolerated and dodged and held off.
Tbe woman I marry will simply have
to want me as much, and aa near, as
I want her."
Mary looked at him, her eyes on
that mouth that was so like Loren
Rangeley's now, so hard, so straight
so determined. She bad certalntly not
meant to do It but there seemed to be
Just one shameless thing to do. At
the touch of her hand on tils arm, Ned
turned to ber, and Mary pulled hit
bead down and kissed him, knowing
that after that the would never escape
from any engagement he made. Ned
held her tightly, bla eager lips against
her own, then hot against her pulsing
throat
Caude and Polly could be heard In

'tht effort, came toward tht library
door. Her eyea changed at aht taw
Claude's own room, and read from It
deeper Into Claude't telf. Sht blamed
Mary that sht hud not been told this
side of tht man, forgetting how the
had refused to listen. Hht wat tur
prised now that Mary did not move
toward her.
"Mary," tht began, "I'm going to
be good and stay"
"Mary!" Claude had seen his girl's
face and moved toward her.
"Mother Father I" Ned'a volet
stopped them both. "Mary and I ride
to town tonight to be married. Wt

They were going, and at tht last
Tolly had her reward, for aa her girl
went down the steps, radiant she sud

to her mother.

Ont of tht moat remarkable bltt ef

Bogoslof takes Us name from a Itur

place a Una llttlt harbor. A few
months later Bogotlof exploded, threw
ashes on communities sixty or mort
miles away, and left only amoklng
shell abovt water.
But In split of tbt volcanic char
acter of tht Aleutians, they supported
rather a heavy population a few cen
turtes sgo and some of them art now
sparsely peopled. A century and
three-quarters ago they rerved at a
path for ItusHtsn adventurers who had
madt their way acrosa Siberia to tht
Tad He and were In search of new fur
worldt to conquer. When survivors
returned to Kamchatka from Bering's
voyagt which discovered Alaska, a
horde of them hastily threw llttlt
boats together and rwooped down on
tht Aleutians, exploiting, tnslavlng
and killing the natives In a madsearcb
for furs. With these whits men came
tht diseases tf civilisation, and before
many decades tht 80,000 natives who.
In 1745, lived contentedly In tht Alen

fared somewhat better; but the Aleu
tian Islands have never recovered front
tbt early daya of exploitation and
moat of them art now uninhabited.
It was because they were opened up
from tht east that tht Wanda art
known as Ihs Aleutians. The nam
la derived from tat ef a Kamachat

Although tht Aleutians art aa far

the Aleutian fog bat the gtiod point,
at least of being less dense Ihon tht
fog of mort southern lands.
The Islands art for the most part
very rough. They trt treeless, savt
for a few scrubby willows along wa
ter courses. Ifenst growths of grast

closely compared to list Islands on!
tht coast of northern Scotland, and to
Icvlund ; and, like those regions, could
produce bsy and aupport cattle. Tht
few Aleuts who llvt on some of tht
Islet now, however, maintain them
selves entirely by Orbing, bunting snd)
trapping. Sea otters, the fur from
which la very valuable, frequented tht
Islands In 'great numbers when they
were discovered, but greedy methods
of fur collection hsvs si most ex
terminated these animals. On soma
