"All right. Don't hike into the

She circled the segment of bay,
climbed a low. rocky point and found
herself a seat on a fallen tree. Out
fide the lake heaved uneasily, still
■lotted with whltecaps whipped up
by the southerly gale. At her feet
1 surge after surge hammered the
1 gravelly shore. Far through the
woods beh,ind her the wind whistled
jand hummed among swaying tops of
1 giant fir and cedar.. There was a
heavy freshness ill that rollicking
wind, an odor resinous and pungent
mingled with that elusive smell of
green growing stuff along the shore.
Beginning where she sat, tree trunks
rose in Immense brown' pillars, run

shadowy always, floored with green
moss laid in a rich, soft carpet for
Lesson in Scientific
Complexion Renewing
Everyone has a beautiful skin un- ■
derneath the one exposed to view. !
• Bear that in mind and it will be easier
I to understand the correct principal in
acquiring a lovely complexion. Na
ture is constantly shedding the top
skin in flaky particles like dandruff,
only much smaller in sire. In abnor
mal conditions, or in advancing age,
these particles are not shed as rapid
ly as in robust youth. The longer they
remain the more soiled or faded they
become—that's the immediate cause
of a "bad complexion."
It has been discovered that ordinary
mercoltzed wax, to be had at any
drug store, will absorb these worn
out particles. The absorption while
hastening Nature's work, goes on
gradually enough to cause no incon
venience. In a week or two the trans
formation is complete The fresh,
healthy-hued. youthful underskin is
then wholly in evidence. You who are
not satisfied with your complex
ions should get an ounce of merco
lized wax and try this treatment. Use
the wax nightly, like cold cream,
washing it off mornings.—Advertise-

"1 suffered for the past year with

after eating would bloat and the
pressure from gas caused pains un

"When I awoke in the morning, I

the wood sprites' feet. Far beyond
the long gradual lower slope lifted
a range of saw backed mountains,
the sanctuary of wild goat and bear,
and across the rolling lake lifted
other mountains sheer from the
water's edge, peaks rising above
timber line in majestic contour,
their pinnacle crests grazing the
clouds that scuddod before the
south wind.
Beauty? Yes. A wild, Imposing
grandeur that stirred some respon
sive chord in her. If one only
could live amid such surrounding
vith a contented mind, she thought,
the wilderness would have compen%
sations of its own. She had an un
easy feeling that isolation from
everything that had played an im
portant part in her life might be
the least depressing factor in this
new existence. She could not view
the rough and ready standards of
the woods with much equanimity—
not as she had that day seen them
set forth. These things were bound
to be a part of her daily life, and
all the brief span of her years had
gone to forming habits of speech
and thought and manner diame
trically opposed to what she had so
far encountered.
It was too late to mourn over
lost opportunities now, but she did
wish there was some one thing she
could do and do well, some service
of value that would guarantee self
support. If she could only pound a
typewriter or keep a set of books
or even make a passable attempt at
sewing she would have felt vastly
more at ease in this rude logging
camp, knowing that she could leave
it if she desired.
So far as she could see things she
looked at them with measurable
clearness, without any vain illusions
FOR YOUR LIFE
Duty Demands
Robust Health
Fight to get it and keep it
Fight—fight day in and day out to
prevent being overtaken by ills and
nils. Keep wrinkles from marring
the cheek and the body from losing
Its youthful appearance and buoy
ancy. Fight when ill-health is com
ing with its pallor and pains, defects
and declining powers. Fight to stay
Its course and drive It off.
But fight intelligently. Don't fight
without weapons that can win the
d&y, for without the intelligent use
of effective weapons the pallor
epreads and weakness grows and a
seemingly strong man or woman oft
times becomes a prey to Ills after all.

sons in the hypoferrin ranks. No
unhealthy, dull, draggy, droopy per
sons in that line. It is a hale, hearty,

working properties has been ap
proved by physicians as a restorer
and safeguard of health. It is a
thoroughly scientific preparation of

tion. sallow, pale complexions that

of bringing color to the cheeks,
strength to the body and keeping
the vigor and buoyancy of youth. The
powder and paint way of effecting
beauty Is Hot needed by hypoferrin
women and girls. Their blood, filled
with nature's beauty stores, creates
conditions that give firmness and
grace to the body and the glow of
health to the cheelts.

ly and always feeling miserable In

concerning her ability to march

i might have remained in Philadel

! But it was all so radically dlffer
j ent brother and all from what
' she had pictured that she was filled
with dismay and not a little forebod
ing of the future. Sufficient, how
everr unto the day was the evil
thereof, she told herself at last, and
tried to make that assurance work
a change of heart. She was very
; lonely and depressed and full of a
' futile wish that she were a man.
I Over across the bay some one was
j playing an accordion, and to ita
strains a stout lunged lumberjack
i was roaring out a song, with all his
I fellows joining strong in the chorus:
| Oh, the Saginaw Kid was a cook in a
' camp way up on the Ocon-to-o-o,
And the cook in a camp in them old
days had a —— hard row to
hoe-i-oh!
Had a hard row to hoe.
There was a fine, rollicking air to
it. The careless note in their i-oices,
the jovial lilt of their song made
her envious. They at least had their
destiny, limited as it might be and
cast along rude ways, largely under
their own control.
Her wandering gaze at length
came to rest on a tent top showing
in the brush northward from the
camp. She saw two canoes drawn
up on the beach above the lash of
the waves, two small figures play
ing on the gravel and sundry dogs
prowling alongshore. Smoke went
eddying away in the wind. An In
idian camp. Miss Benton supposed.
She had an impulse to skirt the
bay and view the Indian camp at
closer range, a notion born of cur
iosity. She debated this casually,
and just as she was about to rise
her movement was arrested by a
faint crackle in the woods behind.
She looked away through the deep
ening shadow among the trees and
saw nothing at first. But the sound
was repeated at odd intervals. She
sat still. Thoughts of forest animals
slipped Into her mind without mak
ing her afraid. At last she caught
sight of a man striding through
the timber, soundlessly on the thick
moss, coming almost straight toward
her.
He was scarcely fifty yards away.
Across his shoulder he bore a red
dish gray burden, and in his right
hand was a gun. She did not move.
Bowed slightly under the weight,
the man passed within twenty feet
of her, so close that she could see
the sweat beads glisten on that side
of his face, and saw also that the
load he carried was the carcass of a
deer.

All's Well That
-v Ends Well
By JANE McLEAN
They were talking it over. Uncle
Ed. from Kansas, kind-hearted, but]
stern visaged. Aunt Eliza from
Maine, the cousins from Chicago and
Mrs. Weldon's only brother and his
wife. There was only one person
outside of the family present and
she had taken no part in the discus
sion. She sat a little apart, in fact,
and fingered the pages of a maga
zine as though she were not inter
ested. She was a woman about
forty, interesting looking, with a face
that told of a firm grip on life, and
although she pretehded to take no
part, she was in reality listening
carefully to everything that was
said.
Yesterday Mrs. Weldon had been
buried, and Bernice, her only child,
the eccentric eighteen-year-old girl,
whom none of the relatives under
stood because she had never been
in the least ruled by authority, was
being discussed with much interest.
"Of course, we'll take the child
back with us," Uncle Ed. was saying
in his bluff, hearty manner. "She'll
like It out on the farm, and I'll give
her a riding horse and see if we
can't get some color into that white
little face of hers."
"Her mother always enjoyed my
house in Portland," said Aunt Eliza
stiffly, although there was a world
of feeling behind the words. Aunt
Eliza lived alone and was often very
lonely. The thought of a young
girl's voice round the house some
how stirred her heart vaguely. She
would really enjoy the pr.oblem of
doing for Bernice, although the
child was strange and unfriendly.
"Don't you think she'd be happy
with other young folks?" asked one
of the cousins from Chicago. "What
she needs now is plenty of diver
sion to make her forget the past."
The woman who sat by listening
to the conversation smiled faintly.
The relatives were all eager to have
Bernice, but would they be as eauer
if Bernice had not been well pro
vided for, if the girl had not been
left a comfortable fortune of her
own, and if the caring for her meant
anything at all in the way of ex
penditure?
Neither the silent woman or the
busy chattering relatives were con
scious of the lonely little figure in
the next room, the girl who crouch
ed low over her mother's picture, and
fought back the storm of tears
with every bit of will power there
was In her.
She wanted to storm out at them
all, those men and women who
cared so little about the fact that
hurt her so intolerably, the awful
fact that she would never see her
mother again.
They were talking again, be
tween them they were about to de
cide her future. Evidently what
she wanted or desired made no dif
ference at all—she was simply to
be disposed of without being con
sidered. The girl in her grief had
a distorted view of things, she did
not take into consideration the
kindly efforts of these well mean
ing people; all she wanted was to
be left alone, to stay where she
was and to live her life in her own
way. She wondered dully why

then there was suddenly a great)
patter of small talk, nn obvious j
effort to cover an uncomfortable!
silence, an attempt to reconcile
themselves with Berntce-as to tlie t
genuineness of their offers.
"Here she is," said Uncle Ed.
"Dear child," said Aunt Eliza.
"We want you to come to Chicago'
for a long visit," gusted one of the!
cousins.
Bernice raised her white face
slowly, and her eyes looked almost
green as she spoke.
'You are all very kind," she said,
slowly, "but I am going to remain
here for the present."
"Here, in this house, all alone?"
gasped her mother's brother's wife,
"that's impossible!"
"You seem to forget. Aunt Mabel,
that it's my house, and it's my life,
] and for the present I am going to
j stay here. Of course I should like
i to visit you all, btjt I am not going
! to live with any of you."
i Miss Heminway had stopped fin

"Don't any of you understand?"
I the girl burst out passionately. "I
II want to live my own life, surely I
! have a right to do that. I can't
s have you decide it for me, and I
j can't bo taken off somewhere, Just
after she's left me for good. I
,! want to get used to it, and I want
, to stay here."
Then the quiet woman spoke for
the first time. "You are old enough
, to do as you think best, Bernice,"
she said in her deep contralto voice
, that somehow soothed the girl
. wonderfully. Bernice turned and
11 met the kind eyes of this womi
' j who had been the beat friend of t'
I woman who had died. Then t
.; green eyes softened into gray, ai
11 a little smile hovered about t'
