That fact loomed biggest on her daily schedule, left her no room to think overlong of other things. Her huff over, she felt rather sorry for Charlie, a feeling accen tuated by sight of him humped on a log in the sun, too engrossed in his perplexities to be where he nor mally was at that hour, in the thick of the logging, working hardet than ar.y of his men. A litle later she saw him put off from the float in the Chickamin's dinghy. When the crew came to dinner he had not returned. Nor was he back when they went out again at 1. Xenr midafternoon. however, he strode into the kitchen, wearing the look of a conqueror. "I've got it fixed." he announced. Stella looked up from a frothy mass of yellow stuff that she was stirring in a pan. He put away his handkerchief, tool; lip his rifle, settled his hat and strode off toward the camp. Her attention now diverted from the Siwashes, she watched him, saw him go to her brother's quarters, stand in the door a minute, then go back to the beach accompanied by Charlie. In a minute or so he came row ing across in a skiff, threw his deer aboard and pulled away north along the shore. She watched him lift and fall among the waves until he turned a point, rowing with strong, even ; strokes. Then she walked home, j Benton was poring over some fig-1 ures, but he pushed aside his pencil j and paper when she entered. "You had a visitor, I see," she j remarked. "Yes, Jack Fyfe. He picked up a deer on the ridge behind here and borrowed a boat to get home." "I saw him come out of the woods," she said. "His camp can't j be far from here, is it? He only! left the springs as you came in. Does he hunt deer for sport?" "Hardly. Oh, well, I suppose it's sport for Jack, in a way. He's al ways piking around in the woods with a gun or a fishing rod,", Ben ton returned. "But we kill 'em to eat mostly. It's good meat and cheap. I get one myself now and then. However, you want to keep that under your hat—about us fel lows hunting—or we'll have game wardens nosing around here." "Are you not allowed to hunt them?" she asked. "Not in closed season. Hunting* season's from September to Decem ber." "If it's unlawful, why break the law?' ' she ventured hesitatingly. "Isn't that rather—er"— "Oh. bosh!" Charlie derided. "A man in the woods is entitled to venison, if he's hunter enough to get] it. The woods are full of deer, and j a few more or less don't matter. We can't run forty miles to town and \ back and pay famine prices for beef every two or three days jvhen we can get it at home in the woods." Stella digested this in sjlence, but i it occurred to her that "this mild j sample of lawlessness was quite in' keeping with the men and the en- j vlronment. There was no policeman j on the corner, no mechanism of law ! and order visible anywhere. The' characteristic attitude of these woodsmen was of intolerance for re straint, of complete self sufficiency. .It had colored her brother's point of view. She perceived that whereas all her instinct was to know the rides of the game and abide by them taking his cue from his environ ment, inclined to break rules that proved inconvenient, even to for mulate new ones to apply. "And suppose." said she, "that a game warden should catch you or Mr. Jack Fyfe killing deer out of* season?" "We'd be hauled up and fined a i hundred dollars or so." he told her. "But they don't catch us." He shrugged his shoulders and, ; smiling tolerantly up her, proceeded to smoke. Dusk was falling now, the long I twilight of the northern season j gradually deepening, as they sat In ; nilenc. Along the creek bank arose j the evening chorus of the frogs. The j air, now hushed and still, was riven every few minutes by the whirr of, wings as ducks in evening flight ! swept by above. All the boisterous : laughter and talk In the bunkhouso 1 had died. The woods ranged gloomy and impenetrable, save only in the northwest, where a patch of sky lighted by diffused pink and gray revealed one mountain higher than Its fellows standing bald against the horizon. "Well, I guess it's time to turn In," Benton muffled a yawn. "Pleasant dreams, sis. Oh here's your purse. I used part of the bankroll. You won't have much use for money up here, anyway." He flipped the purse across* to her and sauntered into his bedroom. Stella sat gazing thoughtfully at the vast bulk of Mount Douglas a few minutes longer. Then she. too, went into the boxlike room, the bare dis comfort of which chilled her merely to behold. (To be continued.) How to Banish Wrinkles Quickly If your face is disfigured with wrinkles, no matter what the cause, you can quickly dispel everv line, even the most obstinate, by using' a simple. home-made wash lotion.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH All's Well That Ends Well By JANE McLEAN She came out of the inner office and closed the door softly. The min ute she found herself alohe, her hands clenched, and she sank into a chair swallowing convulsively, Sheer fury possessed her,and the fact that she was -powerless to help her self made her everyday manner of dependency and absolute calm all the more at variance with her char acter. She had timed her proposal well, and the thought that she would fail had not bothered her overmuch. She knew that Mr. Evans was a hard man to work for, but she knew that j her position was unique, and she thought he realized it too. Even now J she was perfectly sure that he real ized it, but she had no way of prov ing this, for "his quiet words had assured her that she was being paid all that she was worth. The interview had taken only a few minutes. •"What can I do for you this morn ing, Miss Burke?" he had said turn ing to her in his never failing cour tesy of manner. "I should like to speak about the matter of an increase," she had said, coming to the point instantly. lie had smiled easily, and had waited for her t0 continue. "I am paying you all I can afford, Miss Burke,' he had said finally after she had placed the matter be fore him. "But I want to advance, I have I been paid the same salary nearly! two years. I should like to feel that ; 1 am getting somewhere." had 1 protested, knowing all the time that; nothing she could say would make! the slightest difference. "I believe that very few private secretaries are getting more than you are getting right now. But if you are not .satisfied you are at I liberty to try somewhere else." And this was what hurt the girl far worse than anything else. The fact that she had thought herself of im portance in his business life was only a figment of her imagination. She had worked hard for his success and he was ready and willing to en gage another secretary. It smote the girl like a physical blow, and without another word she bad turned and left the office. There had been just a few minutes of giving way when she found her self alone, but after that everything went on as usual. She began sorting the briefs and making notes on their contents. All of this work was of a private nat ure, and of the kind not generally entrusted to even the best of pri vate secretaries. Once she " had glanced up when Mr. Evans had come out of his private office and had gone out to lunch with Rodney Briggs. It was for this man that all the extra work had been under taken, and It was this man that Evans wanted to do business with Daily Dot Puzzle U. 1,2 J' . 4 *l3 .ffl 8 V • :60 "5. 6.

Jimmy was a good little fellow, but he did hate Mr. Evans. So did Miss Berry, the girl who worked under her and assisted her with the unimportant detail. Marion Burke wondered now why she had always taken her employer's part whenever these friendly little discussions had taken place, but she was resolved to say nothing openly, and she smiled into Jimmy's freckl ed face and nodded. About four-thirty that afternoon Jimmy came into the office and asked her if she would like to see Mr. Briggs. Marion looked up wondering if the boy was joking, but his freckled face held only friendly interest, and she asked quickly: "Does Mr. Briggs want to see me?" "Yup, he's out there now." "Ask him to come right in Jimmy, please," and she rose slowly from her desk as the great man came into the room. "How do you do—Miss Burke, Isn't it?' he said in his bluff, hearty way, so different from Mr. Evan's suave smoothness. "I have a little propo sition to make to you. You did most of the work that Mr. Evans is busy with now, didn't you?" Marion nodded, wonderingly.

Dangerous Gas and Acids That Hurt the Stomach—Sour the Food Cause Dyspepsia, Indigestion Recommends A Safe Way At I Many stomach sufferers who are always full of gas ancj whose Stom achs burn with acid after nearly every meal think these things are the RESUI/F of indigestion wnen in roalitv they are the CAUSE. It is just as foolish to give arti ficial dlgestents such as pepsin, etc., to a stomach full of gas and acid as It would be for a man who had stepped on a tack to rub liniment on his foot without removing the tack. Some stomachs generate too much gas and acid. Gas distends the stomach walls causing a fifll, bloated oppressive feeling while the acid Irritates and Inflames the lining of the stomach. Naturally the food ferments and sours, digestion is oftpn delayed and stomach mis ery is the result. Artificial digest- 1 "Well, I don't mind telling you that it's good work. An average girl couldn't have done it. You must have worked hard on it; it's dry stuff." "I understand the business," Mar ion explained. "I worked from that viewpoint from the beginning." "You wouldn't like to change bosses, would you? And then he went on speaking before the girl could answer. "If you would. I'd like you to come over and take charge of my affairs. You have the method that 1 have been searching for for ages. You work quietly and well. I don't know what Evans is paying you, but you're worth what ever you think is fair. We won't quarrel about terms. What do yon say? I can promise you a future if you'll come.' Marion swallowed nervously, but she slipped her cool, competent lit tle fingers into the big friendly hand held out for them. "Thank you. Mr. Briggs," she said slowly and deliberately, "if you will wait until I straighten Mr. Evan's things ovit for him I'll come; I'll be glad to come. Russian Town Burns; Lynch War Prisoners Nljnl-ftovgorod, Russia, Sept. 11 (delayed). The town of Laishev, in the government of Kazan, has been in large part destroyed by fire. The peo ple of the town suspected that the fire was an incendiary one, set by prison ers of war quartered in the vicinity. An attack upon the prisoners was made by soldiers, twenty of the pris oners being lynched and a number of others badly beaten. In the village of Nichollvsk, in the government of Samara, soldiers began looting a great quantity of wines stored in a building. Two hundred of them were trapped there and burned to death. To Treat Stomach Trouble lome. ents will push this sour, fermpnt- Ing mass into the Intestines and so relieve the stomach pain but the add still remains in the stomach to generate more gas and produce more trouble at the next meal. If you are using digestive aids after meals drop them for a while and instead get a few 5-grain tab lets of pure bisurated magnesia from O. A. Gorgas or any druggist and take two with each meal. Bis urated Magnesia does not digest food but will neutralize the exces sive acid In your stomach, keep the food sweet and will drive the gas and bloat right out of your body. ■As Magnesia is prepared In various forms be sure to get Bisurated Magnesia for this purpose as it is not a laxative and in this refined form will not injure the stomach In any way.
