holding pne hand In panic against her
heart.
“T'll go up, then,” sald Jim.
Naulukha watched him depart. It
was a long time before he returned.
When he did he had a bundle of let-
ters In his pocket and was reading
one in his hand. As he entered the
cabin he thrust the letters away.
That meal was a silent one. That
night Naulakha cried herseif—not to
sleep, but into an apathetic daze. She
knew Jim was only pretending to
sleep. In the morning they faced each
other like strangers.
“Dearie,” said Jim at last, “do you
think you could stand waiting for me
a month or six weeks in Nome?”
“Yes, 1 suppose 0,” sald Naulakha.
“You see,” Jim hastened to explain,
*I got a letter yoiterday. Didn't want
to scare you it, but I guess
you're brave enough to stand for It.
My father's dead, and I've got to go to
Oregon and settle up his affairs. I'll
be back on the next boat, and then
we'll have the time of our lives”
Naulakha looked at him very sol-
emnly. “You will marry me in Nome,
Jim?” she asked.
“Sure,” said Jim,
But he did not marry her, because
he had only just time to catch the
boat,
His last impression of her was of a
pathetic little figure waiting upon the
wharf, looking after the departing
ship.

forehead.
Resolutely he had put Naulakha out
of his life. When fhe letters arrived,
telling him that his whereabouts were
known, and that his father was dead,
Jim had resolved to return by the next
boat. But there had been a letter
from Dorothy awaiting him at Nome,
announcing that her engagement had
never come to marriage, and telling
him that she still loved him. At first
he had laughed scornfully; but as the
miles of sea intervened between him-
self and Nome, Dorothy had changed
from a shadow to a reality, and
Naulakba had become the merest
phantom. He was like a man
awakens out of a dream.
He had not written,

stranger who arrived she inquired con-
cerning Jim, Some lied to her, some

those who did not know either joked
put her off with vague assurances.
It was September, when the last
boat arrived without Jim that the reso-
lutlon which had been growing
throughout the summer crystallized.
The outgoing boat would call a day
later. Then there would be no more

What
Interesting Effects Achieved
by Tucks and Other
Decorations.
s——i—p—
The most Important detail of the
mode Is seaming, the manipulation of
fabrics and the effects achleved by

ODERN life throws a heavy
