[OPS ReadiKg oJl ike l&rhiKj JBtj The Yukon By William MacLeod Raino < J (Continued.) Her fascinated eyes followed bim while he moved out from the plateau across the face of the preci pice. He had none of the tools for climbing—no rope, no hatchet, none of the support of numbers. All the allies he could summon were his bare hands and feet, his resilient muscles, and his stout heart. To make It worse, the ice film from the rain coated every Jutting inch of quartz with danger. But he worked steadily forward, moving with the infinite caution of one who knows that there will be 110 chance to remedy later any mistake. A slight error in Judgment, the fail ure in response of any one of fifty muscles would send him plunging down. Her eye left him for an instant to sweep the gulf below. She gave a little cry, ran to his coat, and began to wave it. For the first time since Elliot had begun to traverse she took the initiative in speech. "I see some people away over to the left, Mr. Elliot. I'm going to call to them." Her voice throbbed with hope. But it was not her shouts or his, which would not have carried one tenth the distance, that reached the group in the valley. One of thsm • •aught a glimpse of the wildly wav ing coat. There was a consultation and two or three fluttered handker chiefs in response. Presently they moved on. Sheba could not believe her eyes. "They're not leaving us surely?" she gasped. "That's what they're doing," an swered Gordon grimly. "They think we're calling to them out of vanity to show them where we climbed." "Oh"' She strangled a sob. "I'm going to make it. T think I see my way from here," lier com panion called across to her. "A fault runs to the foot of the stairway, if I can only do the next yard or two." He did them, by throwing cau tion to the winds Ah icy, rounded boulder projected above him out of reach. He unfastened his belt again nnd put the shoes, tied by the laces, around his neck. There was one way to get across the ledge of the fault. Ho took hold of the two ends of the belt, crouched and leaned j forward on tiptoes toward the knob, j The loop of the belt slid over the i icecoated moss. There was no chance I to draw back now, to test the hold I he had gained. It the leather j slipped he was lost. His body swung i across the abyss and his feet J/inded I on the little ledge beyond. / Used by the Army and Navy. The shine that stands the weather. mSPfa Preserves and softens leather.

Don't worry, please. I'll be back before night." "I'm so glad," she cried joyfully. "I was afraid for you. And I'll not worry a bit. Good-by." Elliot made his way up to the summit and ran along a footpath which brought him to a bridge across the mountain stream just above the fulls. Before he had spe cialized on the short distances Gor don' had been a cross-country run ner. He .was in fair condition and he covered the ground fast. About a mile below the falls he met two men. One of them was Colby Macdonald. He carried a coil of rope over one shoulder. The bin Alaskan explained that he had not been able to get it out of his head that perhaps the climbers who had waved at his party had been in dif ficulties. So he had got a rop.e from the cabin of an old'miner and was on his way back to the falls. The three climbed to the falls, crossed the bridfte and reached the top of the cliff. "You know the lay of the land down there, Mr. Elliot. We'll lower you," decided Macdonald, who took command as a matter of course. Gordon presently stood beside j Sheba on the little plateau. She had quite recovered from the touch of! hysteria that had attacked her courage. "You weren't long," was I all she said. "I met them cominft" he an- \ swered as he dropped the loop of j the rope over her head and arranged I it under her shoulders. He showed her how to relieve} part of the strain of the rope on j her flesh by using her hands to lift. J "All ready?" Macdonald called from above. "All ready," Elliot answered. To, Sheba he said, "Hold tight." Tha girl was swung from the j ledge and rostf jerkily in the air. j She laughed gayly down at her j friend below. "It's fun." Gordon followed her a couple of j minutes later. She was waiting to i give him a hand over the edge of j the cliff. "Miss O'Neil, this is Mr. Macdon- | aid," he said, as soon as he had freed himself from the rope. "You are follow passengers on the Han- j nali." Macdonald was looking at her i straight and hard. "Your father's name —was it Farrell O'Neill?" he j asked bluntly. "Yes." "I knew him." The girl's eyes lit. "I'm glad,! Mr. Macdonald. That's one reason j I wanted to come to Alaska —to hear about my father's life here. Will you tell me?" "Some time. We must be going now to catch the boat—after I've had a look at the cliff this young man crawled across." He turned away, abruptly, itj struck Elliot, and climbed down' the natural stairway up which the young man had come. Presently he rejoined those above. Macdonald looked at Elliot with a new re spect. "You're in luck, my friend, that we're not carrying you from the I foot of the cliff," he said dryly. I "I wouldn't cross that rock wall for a hundred thousand dollars in j cold cash." "Nor I again," admitted Gordon i with a laugh. "But we had either to homestead that plateau or vacate it. I preferred the latter." Miss O'Neill's deep eyes looked at him. She was about to speak, then changed her mind. CHAPTER V Slielia Sings—and Two Men Listen Elliot did not see Miss O'Neill next morning until she appeared in the dinning room for breakfast. He timed himself to get through so as to join her when she left. They strolled out to the deck together. He came abruptly to what was on his mind. "I have an apology to make, Miss . O'Neill. If I made light of your danger yesterday, it was- because I was afraid you might break down. I had o seem unsym pathetic rather than ."isk that." (To be Continued) Daily Dot Puzzle <5 ll 12.

Of the eliminative organs, the liver and the kidneys are of majoj importance, and aro most likely tc be overworked and become diseased. When such is the case, various trou bles of a digestive and eliminative character occur, and such troubles are so frequent and so sommon that it is absolutely necessary to find, some relief. Warner's Safe Kldnoj and Liver Remedy was compounded over 40 years ago to help equalize the work of both kidneys and Uver. How successful it has been is evi denced by its widespread sale and its value is attested by an immense number of appreciative users who through these many years have put it to the severest tests with the most satisfactory results. . The experience of multitudes is a beautiful home on Madison ave nue, a little step daughter who adored her, had become a really beautiful woman. Dressed in her severe office' clothes with her liair lixed unbecomingly, Laura had been just like hundreds of other uninter esting business women. Given a maid and beautiful clothes Laura had become an exotic looking woman. She had developed person allty, and much to Helen's disgust she had dropped her business inde pendence and relapsed into the help lessness that characterized her weak er moments. This and a frivolous existence had changed Laura almost beyond rec ognition. But still Helen had clung to.her. Twice she had come to her aid in domestic difficulties, and al though Warren had taken an in tense dislike to her Helen had given a sincere friendship to Laura and would not go back on her. All these things Helen pondered for several days. She longed to tell Warren all about it and to tell hint that at last she agreed with him and that he had been right from the very llrst, and llnally she decided to tell him. "O, Warren, I've had the most unpleasant experience." Broadcloth and satin are the ■ materials that .make this gown ' and very smart it is. There is i a two-piece narrow under-skirt over which the full tunic ap- ! pitf.rs to great advantage, and there is an under-bodice to | which the sleeves are attached. In the back view, however, you will see quite a different sug gestion, and you can use the pattern for that dress as well as for the one shown on the figure. There, there is no under bodice and the sleeves are sewed to the dress itself, and the skirt is cut full length to give you an entire dress. By cutting the bodice with a deep V-shaped neck, as indicated in the back view, and using short sleeves sewed to the under-bodice, you can convert the design to even ing use. The straight rows of braid that are sewed on make a very smart trimming and a simple one, but you could use stitching or you could use a design in soutache braid. For the medium size the dress will require, 3 3 £ yards of ma terial 44 inches wide with I yard 36 for the sleeves and facings of the under-bodice to make in the tunic length illus trated, or, 5 yards 44 for the dress shown in the back view, for the under-skirt will be needed, yards 36 oV 44.

"Why, liow on eartli?" she began. "She just called up liere," War-1 ren vouchsafed. "She did," said Helen, two spots of red sliowing up on her cheeks. "Well, I was at' tea the other after noon with Mrs. Stevens and Laura came into the room with some boy. 1 went over to her table to speak to her, and Warren she Insulted J me." "There must have been some rea son for it." 1 Helen stared at him. She had ex pected to be sympathized with, to be met with something like understand ing, and Warren suggested a possi ble reason for it. "A reason for cutting me dead?" Helen queried angrily. "I thought you didn't like Laura, Warren, I thought you always said that there was something queer about her." i "I think she's a fool," saiil War-| ren bluntly, "but that's no reason' why I shouldn't be fair to her." "Against me, I suppose. What did I slie say over the telephone thatl charmed you this way?" "Don't be an idiot," Warren said I loftily. "But, Warren," Helen expostulated wildly, "I can't understand your tak ing this attitude. It's bad enough to have Laura humiliate me as she did without having you take her part when I tell you about it." "Well, if you'll just wait till I explain before you get so excited." Warren said calmly. "Se called up her a mew minutes ago and asked for you. I told lier you hadn't come in yet. She was crying." # | "She always cries," said Helen, im-1 patiently. "I said that once, and you told me | I was hard on her." Warren re-f marked. "She asked me to have| you ring her up as soon as you| came in." "Well, I'm not going to ring lier up." "I would, if I were you; you know Laura. Helen, she probably is in trouble of some kind and wants to! explain."

"I couldn't] take a chance of being mortllled! again as I was this afternopn, no! matter how good a reason Laura liad."
