must eat. 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.

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.
Merely dissolve an ounce of powdered
saxolite In a half pint witch hazel—.
Inexpensive ingredients found In any
drug store. Bathe the face in this,
and—presto!—you scarcely believe
your own eyes when you look into
your mirror and behold the marvelous
transformation!
The remarkable astringent action
of the saxolite so tightens the skin,
wrinkles are literally vessed out.
Best of all, this result is*not purely
temporary, for the . lotion also has a
healthful tonic action, which tends to
strengthen and tone up the weaken
ed tissue, and added benefit may be
expected with continued use. I'sethls

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

"Still rooting for old man Evans?"
Asked Jimmy the office boy with
delightful impudence.
She smiled. 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

viewpoint from the beginning."
"You wouldn't like to change

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.
