The Yukon By William MacLeod Ralne (Continued) "You are too wise," she laughed with a touch of embarrassment very tiecoming. "But I suppose you are rtght. 1 like excitement." "We all do. The only man who fcresft't gamble is the oonvict in stripes, and the only reason he doesn't is that his chips gone. It's true that men on the frontier play for bigger stakes. They back their bets with all they have got nnd put their lives on top for good measure. But kids in the cradle all over the United States are going to live easier because of the gamblers at the dropping-off place." She moved with slow grace to ward the door, then over her shoul der flashed a sudden invitation at him. "Mrs. Selfridge and I are do ing a little betting to-day. Big Chief Gambler.

I Diane was very frank with him. "1 hear you've been sleuthing around. Gordon, for facts about Colby Macdonald. I don't know what you have heard about him, but I hope you've go.t the sense to see how bit; a. man he is and how much this country here owes him." Gordon nodded agreement. "Yes, he's a big man." "And he's good," added Sheba eagerly. "He never talks of it, but one finds out splendid things he has i done." The young man smiled, but; not at: .'ill superciliously. He liked the ] staunch faith of the girl in her friend ' even though his investigations had not led him to accept goodness as the outstanding quality of the Scotsman. "I don't know what we would do 1 without him," Diane went on. "Give him ten years and a free hand and Alaska will be fit for whito p°ople to live in. These attacks on him by newspapers and magazines are an 1 outrage." "It's plain that you are a parti :-an." charged Gordon gayly.

"The Kusiak chamber of com merce ought to send you out as a lecturer to change public opinion. Diane. You are one enthusiastic little booster for freedom of oppor tunity," laughed the young man. "Oh, well!" Diane joined in his laughter. It was one of' her good points that slie could laugh at her self. "I dare say I do sound like a real estate pamphlet, but it's all true anyhow." Gordon left Kusiak as reluctantly as Wally Selfridge had done, though his reasons for not wanting to go were quite different. They centered about a dusky-eyed young woman whom he had seen for the first time a fortnight before. He would have denied even to himself that he was in love, but whenever he was alone his thoughts reverted to Sheba O'Neill. At, the big bend Gordon left the river boat for his cross-country trek. Near the roadhouse was an Indian village where he had ex pected to get a guide for the jour ney to Kamatlah. But the fishing season had begun, and the men had all gone down river to take part in it. The old Frenchman who kept the trading-post and roadhouse ad'-ised Gordon not to attempt the tramp alone. "The trail it ees what you call dangerous. Feefty-Mile Swamp ees a. monster that swallows men olive, monsieur. You wait one week —two week—t'ree week, and some one will turn up to take you through," he urged. "But I can't wait. And I have an official map of the trail. Why can't I follow it without a guide?" Elliott wanted to know impatiently. The post-trader shrugged. "May ->e so, monsieur—maybe not. Feefty- Mile—it ees one devil of a trail. No chechakoes are safe in there with out a guide. I, Baptiste, know." "Selfridge and his party went h rough a' week ago. I can follow the tracks they left." "But if it rains, monsieur, the tracks will vaneesh, ne'st ce pas? Lose the way, and the little singing 'oik will swarm in clouds about mon sieur while he stumbles through the swamp." Elliot hesitated for the better part of a day, then came to an im pulsive decision. He had a reliable i map, and anyhow he had only to follow the tracks left by the Self ridge party. He turned his hack upon the big river and plunged into the wilderness. There came a night when he looked up into the stars of the deep, still sky and knew that he was hun dreds of miles from any other hu man being. Never in all his life had he been so much alone. He was | not afraid, but there was something! awesome in a world so empty to his j kind. (To he Continued) Cures Colds in Australia LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE tab lets remove the cause. E W.

"Are you thinking of Jo and-Mar tie?" aslid Mrs. Walther. Mrs. Berwick nodded. She was Mar tie's mother, but she wasn't blind to Martie's faults, "because she was the wisest of women, and no one knew Martie better than she did.

Mrs. Walther, who was Jo's mother, and who adored her child with all her heart, was quick to notice the reluct ant expression on her friend's coun tenance. Like the girls, these two women had been close friends for a very long time. They talked over their house hold! problems with each other, con tided their hopes and expectations, and were the first to enthuse together I when Jo and Martie became engaged at the same time. "Don't you think so, Kitty?." Mrs. Walther asked anxiously. She knew that Mrs. Berwick was too fair to I say a thing of this kind without some reason for it. "I don't know, Jane. I overheard the girls talking over their plans yesterday. Of course, they didn't know I heard, and I suppose I shouldn't have listened, but 1 love Jo as if she were Martie's sister, and a certain remark that she made to Mar tie, and Martie's response set nie to thinking,* so I stayed and listened to the entire conversation." "What was it about?" "About their lives, their married lives. Just as you said. I had thought that Jo and Martie would go through life together friends as you and I have been. But Jo is not a snob and Martie is. and for the first time I heard them almost quarrel. It all came about future plans. Jo ran in to see Martie, all enthusiasm as she always is, and she exclaimed over the apartment that she and Bobby had been looking at. Of course it isn't much, Martie. darling,' she said, 'but at least it will bo all ours. Just think of the fun we four will have when we get to gether in it." "Martie had been disappointed in something during the morning and was not. in a particularly good hu mor and she exclaimed disagreeably. I suppose that's a slam on Jim and me.' " 'Why, Mart!' Jo exclaimed, a hurt little tone in her voice, 'what on | earth do you mean?" " 'Why, you know very well that Jim and I are planning to stay with mother for the first six months until Jim can get settled and on his feet. Then we want to move on the Ter race.' " 'But they're terribly expensive.' Jo remarked. " '1 kpow it, but if we wait we can manage to do it." "'Oh. I see! Well, I didn't mean anything when I told you about ray duck of a place, Mart, because I didn't know a thing about you and Jim stay ing here till just this minute.' " 'I thought I had told you.' " 'No, you didn't. You used to tell me everything*. See heie. Mart, we're not going to be any different toward each other just because we're going to be married, are we?' " 'Of course not,' Martie responded with something of her old sweet tem peredness. 'But you know, Jo, that marriage is bound to make some kind of a flifference.' " 'I hadn't thought so, said Jo. And hen the subject was dropped. . "Why, Kitty," said Mrs. Walther. I Every variation of the little bolero jacket is fashionable this season and this one allows of so many variations that it will supply a number of costumes. Here, it is made of serge to match the skirt and it is worn over a sleeveless blouse of cripe de chine. If you want something more dressy or more fancy, you could shape the back and round the fronts at the lower edges and you could make it without sleeves and wear it over a blouse of Geor gette or of chiffon to which sleeves are attached. If you want more of a jacket effect you could make it with the sleeves sewed to the arm-holes and use those shown in the small back view in place of the full ones gathered into cuffs. The skirt is in four gores with the back gathered. For the medium size the jacket with sleeves will require, yards of material 44 inches wide, the jacket without sleeves, % yard; for the blouse without sleeves will be needed, I}/% yards 44 and with sleeves 1% yards. For the skirt will be needed, yards of mateiial 44 inches wide.

I shall be heartbroken if the girls grow away fiom each other." "Well, it opened my eyes toward Martie," Mrs. Berwick said, quickly. "And I've decided to alter all my plans. Of course, the big house is plenty large enough for the two young people, and I selfishly thought it would keep Martie with me longer. But it won't work Jane: Martie goes to housekeeping with no assistance from me, just as Jo is expecting to start in." I "But Jo has never been used to lux uries like Martie has." "I know it, but Martie is marrying a man who makes no more than Jo's husband. Here's a chance for them to start even and to keep that won derful friendship free of petty jeal ousies. Martie is going to house keeping in one of those doll's apart ments where Jo ts going to live, and if she doesn't like the idea in the beginning she'll have to get used to it. Why, Jane, I didn't realize until yesterday what a mistake I was mak ing. I'm thankful that I discovered things in time." Mrs. Walther smiled. "You always were a fair woman, Kitty, and of course you're right. Young folks ought to start out for themselves without any intruders. I've always thought so, and I'm so glad you agree with me."

He wants me to become his wife, hut, although I love him dearly, I feel that marriage would not make us happy. He could not be happy with a wife in my profession, as he is a man who wants his wife in his home, and I know I could not be happy were I to give up the stage. What do you advise us to do? A MISERABLE GIRL. All I can do is advise you to make up your mind what you really want in this world, and how much you will sacrifice to have it. None of us can have everything, and the happy people are those who have a real sense of values, and who, knowing what they prize, make an honest ef fort to get It. On the one hand, love is offered you. On the other hand, there is a profession which also re quires sacrifice, effort, diplomacy, and which is tilled with disappoint ments. Balance your love of the stage, your faith in your own ability to succeed, against your love of a man and your faith in your own ability to make marriage a success. Which will you choose?
