The Yukon By William MacLcoil Knino v. i p (Continued.) "The usual thing, I suppose." "You've got another guess— packed in among his socks and un derwear was about twenty pounds of ore samples. The purser told me. It was that quartz that put Trelawney to show so thorough that he'd just begun t,o wake up when I passed a minute ago." -he young man turned his eyes again upon the big Canadian Scots man. He was talking with Mrs. Mallory, who was leaning back luxuriously in a steamer chair she had brought aboard at St. Michael's. It would have been hard to con ceive a contrast greater than the one between this pampered heiress of the ages and the modern busi ness berserk who looked down into her mocking eyes. He was the em bodiment of the dominant male — efficient to the last inch of his straight six feet. What he vanted he had always taken, by the .sheer strength that was in him. Hack of her smiling insolence lay a silken force to match his own. She too had taken what she wanted from life, but she had won it by indirec tion. Manifestly she was of those women who conceive that charm and beautv are tools to bend nen to their wills. The dusky young woman with the magazine was the first of those on the upper deck to retire for the night. She flitted so quietly that Gordon did not notice until : ! he bad gone. Mrs. Selfridge and her friends disappeared with their men folks, calling gay good nights to one an other as they left. Macdonatd and Mrs. Mallory talked.

For a long time they talked in low voices. The little man had most to say. His chief listened, but occasionaly interrupted to ask a sharp, incisive question. Elliot, sitting farther forward with Strong, judged that Selfridge was making a report of his trip Once he caught a fragment of their talk, enough to confirm this impression. "Did Winton tell you that him self?" demanded the Scotsman. The answer of his employe came in a murmur so low that the words were lost. But the name used told Gordon a good deal. The commis sioner of the general land office at Washington signed his letters Harold B. Winton. Strong tossed the stub of his ciga rette overboard and nodded good night. A glance at his watch told Klliot that it was past two o'clock. He rose, stretched and sauntered I back to his stateroom. The young man had just taken off his coat when there came the hur ried rush of trampling feet upon the hurricane deck above. Almost in stantly he heard a cry of alarm. He could hear the shuffling of footsteps and the sound of heavy bodies mov ing. Someone lifted a frightened shout "Help! Help! The call had come, he thought, from Self ridge. Gordon flung open the door of his roon* raced along the deck and took the stairs three at a time. A huddle of men swayed and shifted heavily in front of him. Kven as he ran toward the mass,! Elliot noticed that the only sounds' were grunts, stentorious breathings. ! and the scraping of feet. The at-j tcckers wanted no publicity. Tliei attacked was too busy waste breath in futile cries.

Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never returned, although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full Information about how you may find a complete cure without operation, if you write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter, 351 D Marcellus Avenue. Manasquan, N.

HXRRISBURG tfißk TELEGRAPH All's Well That Ends Well M The aristocrat Miss Faulkner was washing windows. Yes, strange as it may seem, she stood in the center of the tiny livingroom in the tiny apartment that the newly married Etta Gray had just moved into, with her soft georgette sleeves rolled up above her elbows, and the handsome velour skirt of her hundred and fifty dollar tailor-made walking suit un covered by an apron. Ktta Gray herself, a small figure in blue serge, alternately begged Lucia Faulkner to stop, or laughed at the unusual sight. "You'll ruin that gorgeous suit," Etta said for the fourth or fifth time. "My dear, do you realize just how many times you have made that re mark, why not be original at least?" "Well, then, why don't you take oft your hat?" "Because there's no need of it. 1 have trained myself to work perfectly well with it on, so on it stays." I "You have trained yourself, in deed," said Etta with small respect. "I don't believe you've ever done an inch of work in your life." "Well, if it's true, it's not my fault. Why Etta, you and Tommy are going to be the happiest people in the world in this darling duck of a place." "I know it," Etta said complacent ly. It took a great deal to make Etta enthuse. "You're certainly calm about it. If I were getting my own apartment to rights I think I'd fall out the window frorti sheer Joy." "Yes you would, you mean you'd have half a dozen servants to do it for you and then find fault with the result." "O, Etta, why do you treat me thusly?" said Lucia the incorrigible. "Hand me that clean cloth, will you, I'm almost through with this win dow." Etta complied in since; the two went busily to work again. Finally Lucia jumped down from the chair and surveyed her work with pride. "Isn't this room a perfect lave of a place," she sighed admirably. "But we haven't an expensive thing in it," said Etta, looking around proudly just the same. "But there's plenty of good taste, and that wicker stuff with your few mahogany pieces looks simply splen did." "And when the curtains go up, it Fashions of To-Day - By May Manton $564 Blouse with Vest, 36 to 46 bust. Price 15 cents. 9567 Four-Piece Skirt, a 6 to 36 waist. Price 15 cents. will be finished." said Etta. "Do come , down now. dear, and I'll make some tea for us. Aren't you tired?" "Not a Dit: listen, Etta, honey, you j make the tea. and I'll put up the cur tains." "Oh, but Lucia, you'll be so tired, 1 why, you've done more to-day than j you've ever done in your life before." j "Well, it isn't eoing to be the last | piece of work I do. eitherf I'm going to get an apartment of my own and j furnish it just for the fun of the thing." "But it wouldn't be so much fun' if you knew you could afford every thing. The part that is fun is just being able to do so much and then planning to manage it somehow. | You'd have to give up your money j 'and marry a poor man, Roger llarri- i son, for instance." Etta looked closely at Lucia as she j spoke, but Lucia was fumbling with 1 the little curtainrods and the soft 1 brown and blue madras curtains and j Etta could see only the curve of her ! after a few minutes. "He never asked me," said Lucia, j cheek against the window. "He thinks he couldn't make you happy." said Etta; "he's afraid of you, you're so perfectly dressed and you have everything." "But Etta, you don't think I'm like that, do you?" "No, but I went to college with >'QU where nothing like money mat tered, and I know you well." Lucia thought of what Etta had said as she climbed the chair again and began to hang fcer curtains. Out in the kitchen, Etta was crooning a little tune, and it made Lucia feel out of it and lonely. So absorbed was she in her thoughts and in her work ! of hanging the curtains straight that j she didn't hear the click of Tom's I key in the latch, in fact she was con | scious of nothing until a voice she j knew very well spoke to her from ; the foot of the stair. Then she start ed and nearly tumbled off. and Roger Harrison caught her* for he had come in with Tom to look over the new place. "I'm having the time of my life," she said to Roger, blushing con sciously as she met his eyes. "I didn't know you cared about | anything like this," he was saying j earnestly. "How could you when you never' tried to find out?" Lucia said quickly, j lifting her chin high and trying to I look haughty. "I'm coming with the tea," called ' Etta from the kitchen, "look out. you ! There is no smarter blouse than this one with the single button and buttonhole effect ing the closing. Here, it is worn with an odd skirt, but it makes an admirable blouse for the suit and it is adapted to all the pretty soft materials that are liked just now, to crepe de chine and to voile and to the soft Eatins that are greatly in vogue, and you can make the blouse to match or you can make the vest, collar and cuffs of a different material. Crepe de chine would be pretty with these portions of satin. The skirt is a most becoming and attractive one with plaits that give long lines at the same time that they give added fullness. Here, the skirt is made of a tweecj in mixed colors and filk braid is used as trimming, while the blouse is made of crepe de chine to match the prevailing color in the skirt. For the medium size the blouse will require, yards of material 36 inches wide, yards 44, and the skirt, yards 44, yards 54. The blouse patterrf No. 9564 is cut in sizes from 36 to 46 bust measure and the skirt No. Q567 in sizes from 26 to 36 inches waist measure. They will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of thiar paper. on receipt of fifteen cents for each. people in there, apartments are catch ing." • Roger caught one of Lucia's slim pink hands in his for a moment, and looked down at it as it lay in his. "Why, it's dirty," he said in amaze ment. "Certainly it is," laughed Lucia. "I've been washing windows." And her fingers closed around his in a moment of understanding.
