"Mr. Ramlll, we'll settle this right now.;., Ton said you'd leave1 her to Lme,, I cooked that meat for you.

'; Obedient to directions, ' the big man stretched out flat upon the sun- warmed rock. Garth turned about to poll the moosehlde and what was upon It Into the shade of a birch. Miss Ramlll thrust In front, of blm and seized his knife,-. She slashed at the. liver. The. blade was rasor-sharp. Her angry stroke not: only , cut through the liver, It slit the moosehlde as well Garth said nothing. Enough for him that hanger had humbled the girl's pride. She had learned ber first lesson. Long hours had passed since her finicky breakfasting on wine, and delicatessen in the cabin of the monoplane, far over on the Mackenzie. She was fairly raven ous. Her rouged lips twisted with anticipation as she held the spitted slice of liver close upon the coals of the low-burnt fire. Well satis fied. Garth Bung the remaining' liv er,- the tongues and muffles under the cache platform. Miss Ramlll's only thought bad been for ber food. She did not think to pat fresh fuel on the cook fire. . When It died down to em bers, i she Jerked the. partly burnt, Inwardly rare slice of liver, from the charred willow spit There was now no finicky fastidiousness about her; eating. She thrust off her beadnet and sank her teeth Into the piece of liver with the gusto of a hungry boy. Bite followed bite In rapid succession, CHAPTER IV The Whip Hand. THB girl licked her fingers and A turned to stare covetously at the pieces of moose dangling In the smudge-fire smoke. She spoke to Garth almost civilly: . .. "I've no need to rest, like . Dad. Do I have to wait for another piece r , "Certainly not But you've let the cook-fire go out Keep (his one going; and you' can nse It, Better cut another spit Mind the knife edge, If you don't want' to lose finger." ... She- showed she could be deft enough when she chose. One stroke of the knife hacked off a-willow twig, two cats sharpened the end. Grasping the bottom of the uncut second liver, she sliced, up length- wise, all the way to the rawhide thong. - She poked the green, wood from the near edge of the fire, piled on dry sticks, and crouched down to hold ber aplt over the blaze. Garth bad at-once begun to .make catgut .It would be needed to sew the moccasins.' He was intently at work, and the girl was still more Intently eyeing' her : meat, when Huxby came striding between the spruces. -"f 'b.-nr- "i-r !' ' The once : elegant ' engineer. ; was smeared with mud from his mid- body down to where the rock-milk ; water of the ford hsd drenched the bog slime from his shoes and leath er aviator .' trousers. Snags had scratched his flying Jacket and even torn through one sleeve. Worst of aO, his bare, face and neck was a swollen mass of mos-qulto-blte welts and 1 the bleeding wounds of deer-fly stings. The skin had already begun to fluff and dis color, i At sight of the .man's condition. Garth picked op his rifle. Even the most cold-blooded, calculating schemer can be tortured Into erased violence. , , , v. Miss Ramlll glanced np from her cooking, and ottered a startled cry. It awakened her father, from his dose. Be sat erect to stare at Hux- "My CH-d, Vivian, - what's hap pened I Too-look like something the ct.prought'.home.'':,-',.;:M.''::i,'f-.-.:'. 4 "Those d d pest a,"'' Huxby cursed. : "Left my headnet : Hey, yon airplane thief; fetch me a drink. Jump lively." 'i::-:::fJ:4)tkA4s( Garth lifted bin rifle, Pnt op your, hands. ; No, dont reach for. 'your pistol. Dp with them, or I'll wing you-Thst's It, : Now bold tbem there while Mr. Ramlll takes your pistol, rye bad enough of your threatening.? " . . .." ; ' r - v The millionaire looked at Garth's cool gray eyes, and heaved himself upon his feet to shuffle around be hind Huxby's shoulder. He pulled open the. leather Jacket and drew Garth Lifted His Rlfl. "Put Up Your Hands." the , automatic pistol from Its high slung sheath. Holding the butt forward, be brought the weapon to Garth. . . "Keep It yourself," Garth told him. "Yoq can give It back to blm soon as he gets over this fly mad ness. There's your beadnet, Hux by. Better stand in the smoke till yon get It on. 7 For the first time since Garth had met LUlth Ramlll, she showed consideration for , someone , else than herself. Her second piece of liver bid been cooked enough to be eatable. She tore It In two and gave half to , her fiance. "It's good, Vivian. Try It Ton must be .famished." Her unexpected graclousness calmed his half-crazed mind. "Why, Llllth you roasted this yourself I It will taste doubly deli cious." He forced a laugh. "But I couldn't take the food out of your mouth." "I'll soon cook more. There's plenty." Garth caught Mr. Ramlll's hungry look,, and shook bis bead. "Not yet for us, sir. We'll psck In some more of the meat before the wol verines get it" Ho laid a mat of willow foliage, sliced np what was left of the sec ond liver, and started off with Ra mlll. . Though at first stiff, the million aire did not get out of breath so quickly as before. This was an encouraging sign. That easy climb to the claim and the fast return bad been violent exercise for the mine Investor. He could not have recovered so soon If his heart had been bad. ..- But when he opened bis cigar case. Garth Interposed. "Ton have only four left, sir. Better hold them back to taper off gradually. This change of diet Is going to Jolt you hard enough. No wine or whisky, either." Mr, Ramlll walked along quite a distance with the cigar case open, his face Impassive Inside the mos quito gauze of the headnet When at last be looked up, he closed the cigar case and handed It to Garth. "You're the doctor." . Garth put the case In his shirt pocket -"All right, sir. YouH get them when they'll do you the most good and you'll get them all.?,, , ( . Again Mr. . Ramlll walked along with his gaze on the ground. They were near -the muskeg swamp be fore be looked up. He turned bis shrewd gaze npon Garth, and spoke with blunt ' directness: "What's your game?" - ' - ' ;; 's.f';;' Garth chuckled. "Did jrou ever. outwit1 fox, corner a pack of wolves, or trap a crafty old bearl" uThe rudy face of th millionaire purpled.- "What Is the connection!! "Nothing Insidious," i Garth ' as sured him. I had In mind only the fan of the game." v'.'. tfo'ii-vir'HSi "Sot . Well,-young man, it has already been . admitted that ! you've so far taken all the tricks. I gave yon credit for more sense, however, than yon showed twhen ' yon cast loose tho plane. Ton had no need to walk, np Uke a ddpe and permit Vivian to get the drop on yon. Buy enough for you tove come out of cover with your rifle np. Don't tell me you'd rather travel afoot to the Mackenste than fly not In a plane." (TO BS CONT1NVSD) ' 71 1. 1 A 8tret Prepsred by Natlonsl Oeographle Society, Washlns-tan, D. a WNU Bervte. GIBRALTAR, western gateway to the Mediterranean, and Malta, the mid-Mediterranean sentinel, both British-owned, have been brought into the newa spotlight because of the Halo-Ethiopian political situation. The fortified rock of Gibraltar, long the symbol of strength, rears Its lofty summit above the north bank of the 14-mile-wl'de Strait of Gibraltar. It Is known to every school child; yet there Is, st its base, a city named for the rock, that Is, perhaps, known to but few. Gibraltar is a British city If the traveler confines bis observations to British soldiers who are every where, British "Bobbles" who ap pear as if they bad just emerged from a London police station, Brit ish flags that top the masts of mu nicipal and government buildings, and British warships and commer cial vessels that outnumber all oth ers, anchored In the harbor. But a glance at the street crowds and the city's buildings reveals a strange mixture. Most Gibraltar buildings are Spanish in design. Its narrow streets are crowded with bustling throngs from many parts of the world. Scotchmen in kilts brush past turbaned Moors from the other side of the strait; Span lards from Madrid, Malaga, and Ca dis mingle with sturdy Greeks; ruddy-skinned Hindus and Egyp tians Jostle Levantine Jews In ga berdines; and dusky Senegal ne groes rub elbows with Chinese from Canton. And weaving In and out of the human mass are hundreds of foreign seamen from boats that come to Gllbraltar for fuel, trade, and repairs. The mixture of races has become even more noticeable In recent years since Gibraltar has In creased in popularity as a pleas ure resort for European and Amer ican vacationists. The shops also present an inter national aspect On their shelves the traveler finds carved Ivory or naments from Ceylon and the Af rican east coast, trinkets from the cramped factories that line the nar row streets of Foochow, China, ob jects of carved teak from Burma and bolts of cloth from Manchester and New Tork. Baghdad, Samar kand, Baltimore, and Timbuktu also are represented In the display of merchandise. Town Climbs th Rock. The town begins at the shore of the broad bay an rises 250 feet up the north side of the rock. Long flights of steps lead to the upper portion of the town, making wheeled traffic Impossible on many streets. The Mediterranean, or south side of the rock, is almost a sheer cliff. Fishermen have built however, small, villages In the few recesses which are reached by, narrow paths. . ' Between Spain and the British territory Is a narrow strip of land called the neutral zone where t.av elers get the best land view of th rock. ' The giant mass of stone was one of the Pillars of Hercules of ancient times. i The rock's highest point is mofe than twice the height of the Wash ington monument or about 100 feet higher than the world's tallest building. Since the Moors first oc cupied Gibraltar centuries ago, its face 'has- 'frequently:, undergone "treatment" A fortified castle dat ing back to Moorish occupation -still stands In one of Its recesses, sharp ly contrtitlng'twfth the-more mod ern British ramparts. Tunnels have been bored, -.paths dynamited and In places Its rough "countenance" has been given an application of ce ment npon which rainwater la caught and drained Into reservoirs of the town. In natural caves In the rock live the famous Gibraltar ..Ii)MM4MMac, , twV 'rwit-ftiiujiiMju L LIU In Valetta. monkeys, probably the only mon keys In Europe that were not brought there by men In modern times. The animals are protected by law and are fed by the British army. The city took its name from the rock, which was called Mount Abyla or Apes Hill In ancient times. It was once owned by the Phoeni cians and fell, in turn, to the Car thaginians, Romans and Visigoths. Jn the Eighth century the Moor ish chief, Tarlk-Ibn-Zeyad, landed on the rock and called It Glbel Tarlk or Mountain of Tarlk, of which "Gibraltar" Is a corruption. The Moors had held Gibraltar for six centuries when In 1309 the Span ish seized it but 24 years later the Moslems regained possession. It became Spanish territory again in 1462. The British have held the rock since 1704 when they defeated a combined Spanish and French fleet Since, the British have had frequent wars over Gibraltar's pos session. One Spanish siege lasted four years (1779-1783). Malta a Strong Base. For more than a century Malta has sheltered powerful British war ships guarding sea lanes to Medi terranean ports, and, In more re cent years, to India, Australia, and the Far East via the Suez canal. Now It Is a strong aerial base as well. Malta deserves attention, bow ever, for other than military or strategic reasons. On the little Is land an ancient race still lives and speaks an otherwise extinct tongue. Recently Great Britain suspended Malta's constitution to combat a movement to turn Malta to the Ital ian language In preference to Eng lish or the Islander's own unique speech. Planted by fate at a strategic point on one of the world's great marine highways, this drab piece of land, less than a hundred square miles in area, has been called to fill an Important role In the history of the world. Malta and Its satellite islands were once linked to Africa and Eu rope by a land bridge. With the sinking of this link, the islands were left standing like sentinels between the eastern and western basins of the Mediterranean, 58 miles from Sicily and 180 miles from Africa. Malta has been called the step child, as well as the "stepping stone," of the Mediterranean. Since the dawn of Its recorded history, many nationalities have ruled It, beginning with the Phoenicians, and running a range which includes Greeks, Carthngininns, Romans. Arabs, Normans, French, and Brit ish. Maltese a Race Alone. But though always under a for eln flag, the Maltese retained their racial identity. Handsome, good humored, and sturdy, they are be lieved to be remnants of the great Mediterranean race which peopled the shores of this storied sea long before the rise of Greece and Rome. Their present speech Is derived from the language of the Phoeni cians, whose ships more than 3,000 years ago floated In Malta's harbors as do the British men-of-war today, Among the upper classes and the .younger generation it is being re placed by English and Italian. Weaving a pattern of mystery over the Island are deep parallel lines in the. solid rock, believed to be the tracks of ancient cart wheels. Some plunge beneath an arm of the sea and reappear on the other side testimony to the comings and goings of a people who dwelt here before the land assumed Its present shape. Neolithic temples also have been found, , 4 Porter Who Shoulder i-BmUAl&t'.m Toit!: , To become a'poftef in the Central -Markts of Paris one must pass dras tic weight-carrying tests. One such Is to walk the whole length of the market carrying at' least 400 pounds on the back. Would-be porters must show also that they .are capable of carrying, for a shorter distance, halt an ox, weighing about 000 pounds. The knack of balancing various kinds of burdens has to be painstak ingly acquired. , Several of the star porters can carry 600 pounds more than a quarter of a ton. Standing still, some of them can hold across their shoulders a burden of half a ton. Pearson's Weekly. LITTLE MISS MUFFET srrs on a Town . . .
