JfjTHE ISLE OF
RETRIBUTION 1
aJnA EDISON MARSHALL
RW SATTCRTICCD
BEGIN HERE TODAY
Ned Cornet, who la engaged to
marry Lenore Hardenworth, la ship
wrecked with her and they take
refuge on an Island. With them Is
Bess Gilbert, a seamstress. The
Island Is occupied by a brute named
Doorasdorf and hla Indian wife.
The master of the island takes
Ned and the girls prisoners and bids
them build a cabin for themselves.
He gives them an old stove. Lenore
1* allowed to remain with the squaw
and help with the housework, but
Bcsa and bled are made to labor
until they both fall unconscious.
When the cabin is completed
Doomsdorf announces that he means
to have his slaves do his winter
trapping for him. Bess and Ned are
started on different routes. Ned has
a fight with a bear.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Ned did not wait to catch the full
force of that blow. His powerful
thighs, made iron hard in these last
bitter weeks, drove trim out and up
In an offensive assault. His long
body seemed to meet that of the
wolf full in the air. Then they rolled
together into the drifts.
The wolf wriggled free, sending
home one vicious bite into the fle3h
lust under the arm; and for a breath
both contestants seemed to be play
ing some weird, plnwheel game in the
snow. The silence of the everlasting
wild was torn to shreds by the noise
of battle—the frantic snarling of the
wolf, the wild shouts of this mad
man who fiad just found his strength.
Then for a moment both contest
ants seemed to lie motionless in the
snow. The wolf lay like a great
hound before the fireside—fore legs
stretched in front, body at full
length. Ned lay at one side, the ani
mal’s body between his knees, one
arm around his neck, the other
thrusting back the great head. .The
whole issue of life or death, victory
or defeat, was suddenly immensely
simplified. It defended solely on
whether or not Ned had the physical
might to push back the shaggy head
and shatter the vertebrae.
Time stood still. A thousand half
crazed fancies flew through Ned’s
mind. His life blood seemed to be
starting from his pores, and bis heart
was tearing Itself to shreds in his
breast. But the wolf was quivering
now. Its eyes were full of strange,
unworldly fire. And then Ned gave
a lust, terrific wreneh.
A bone broke with a distinct crack
in the utter silence. And as be fell
forward, spent, the great white form
Blacked down and went limp in his
arms.
XXIII
IN a little while Ned stripped .the
pelt from the warm body of the
wolf and cqntlnued down his line
of traps. He was able to think more
coherently now and consider methods
and details. And by the same token
of clear thought, he was brought
face to face with the tect of the al
most insuperable obstacles in his
path.
Plans for freedom first df all seem
ingly had to include Doomsdoifs
death. That was the first essential,
and the last. Could they succeed in
striking the life from tbeir master,
they could wait in the cabin until the
trader Intrepid should touch their
island in the spring.
The difficulty lay In finding an
opening of attack. Doomsdorf’s rifle
was never loaded except when it was
in his arms, and he wore his pistol
in his belt, day and night For all
his hopelessness, Ned had notioed,
half Inadvertently, that he always
took precautions against a night at
tack. The squaw slept on the out
side of their cot and would be as
difficult to pass without arousing as
a sleeping dog. The cabin Itself was
bolted, not to be entered without
waking both occupants; and the
STATE POULTRY SHOW IS
ATTRACTING MUCH INTEREST

Greensboro, N. Sept. 18.—The

show will be conducted here December

Central Carolina Poultry Association
and the North On volina Poultry Asso

THY SULPHUR ON
AN ECZEMA SKIN
Coot* Little and Overcome*
Trouble Almott Over
Night
~ •
Any breaking out of the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying Mentho-Sulphur,
declares a noted skin specialist. Be
cause of its germ destroying properties,
this sulphur preparation instantly brings
ease Iron skin irritation, soothes and
heals the eczema right up and leaves
the skin clear and smooth.
It seldom fails to relieve the torment
without delay. Sufferers from skin
trouble should obtain a small jar of
Rowles Mentho-Sulphur from any
good druggist and use it uke cold
cream.
three prisoners of course slept in the
newer cabin.
Ned was working that part of the
line from his Twelve-Mile cabin over
the ridge toward the Forks cabin—
his old rendezvous with Bess. He
was somewhat late in crossing tbe
range today. The blazed trail took
him around the shoulder of the ridge,
clear to the edge of a little, deeply
seamed glacier such as crowns so
many of the larger bills in the far
North.
Few were the wild creatures that
traversed this icy desolation, so his
trap line bad been laid out around
the gla&er, following the blazed trail
in the scrap timber. But today the
long way round was particularly
grievous to his spirit. More than a:
mile could be saved by leaving the
timber and climbing across the ice,
aqd only a few sets, none of which
had ever proved especially produc
tive. would be missed.
Without an instant’s hesitation he
turned from the trail straight over
the snowy summit toward the cabin.
The cut-off would save him the an
noyance of making camp after dark.
And since he had climbed it once be-

fore, be scarcely felt the need of 1
extra caution.
The crossing, however, was not 1
quite the same os on the previous oo- ]
casion. Before the Ice had been cov
ered, completely across, with a heavy
snowfall, no harder to walk on than
the open barrens. He soon found
now that the snow prevailed only to
the summit of the glacier, and the
deecent beyond the summit had been
swept clean by the winds.
Below him stretched a half-mile of
glare ice. ivory white like the fangs
of some fabulous beast of prey. Here
and there it was gashed with cre
vices—those deep glacier chasms into
which a stone tells in silence. For a
moment Ned regarded ft with con
siderable displeasure.
He decided to take a chance, He
removed his snowshoes and ventured
carefully out upon the toe.
It was easier than ft looked. His
moccasins clung very well. Steadily
gaining confidence, he walked at a
faster pace. The slope was not much
on this side, the glacier ending In on
abrupt cliff many hundred feet in
height, so he felt little need of espe
cial precaution. It was, in fact, the
easiest walking that he had since hia
arrival upon the island, so he decided
not to turn off clear until he reached
the high ground fust to one side of
the ice oUff. He crawled down a
series of .shelves, picked his way
about a Jagged promontory, and
fetched up at last at the edge of a
dark crevice scarcely 60 feet from
tbe edge of the snow. 1
The crevice was not much over

Ing. along, he saw that a buudrad
yards to his right It ended is a snow
t*.nk. But there was no need of fol
lowing it down. He ebuld leap it at
a standing. jump: with a running
start be could bound ten feet beyond.
He was tired, eager to get to camp
—and this wan the zero hour. He
drew back three paces, preparatory
to making the leap.
All the wilderness world seemad to
be straining—listening. The mat)
leaped forward.
At that instant the Nortb gave him
some sign of {ts power. His ,first
running step was firm, but at tbe
second fils moccasin failed to hold,
slipping straight back. He pitched
forward on hie hands and knees,
grasping at the hard, slippery io«u
He slid rather slowly, with that
sickening helplessness that so often
characterizes the events of a tragic
dream; and the wilderness seemed
still to be waiting, watch lfig. ip Un
utterable indifference. Than ho

He was not to die at once. Theca
was still hope of life. He fetched up,
as ff by a miracle, on an icy shelf
ten feet below the mouth of this
crevice—with sheer walls rising oa
each side.

NED knew what fear was, weO
enough, as he lay in the dark- 1
ened chasm, staring up at qhe j
white line of the crevice above Mae
The sheif on which he had fallen
was scarcely wider than hla body,
and only because it projected at an
upward incline from the sheer wall
had be come to rest upon it. It was
perhaps 50 feet long, practically on a
level all the way. The wall was sheer
for ten feet above him; beyond the
shelf was only tbe impenetrable dark
ness of the crevice, extending ap
parently into the bowels of tbe earth.
Very cautiously, in imminent dag-t-,
ger of pitching backward Into the
abyss, be climbed to hia feat. He
was a tall man. but his bands, reach
ing up, did sot com# within two teat
of the ledge. And there was noth
ing whatever for his hands to cßag
to.
If only there were Irregularities hi

thought of hia axe.
