Even as he spoke there came the crcsk of a revolver almost at the entrance of the draw. One of the men swore softly. The gimlet eyes of the old miner fastened on the spot where in another moment his hoped-for rescuers wovld appear. A man staggered drunkeniy into view.

Neither of them made a move toward the stranger, who stopped in front of their camp and looked with glazed eyes from one to another.

"Get him grub, pronto." The eld man rose and moved to ward the suffering man. "Come, pard. Tha's all right. Sit down right here and go to it, as the old sayin' is." He led the man to a place beside Big Bill and made him sit down. "Better light a fire, and get ronie coffee on. Don't give him too much solid grub at first."

The old miner said no more. Hut his eyes narrowed to shining slits. If this man had come through Fifty Mile swamp, he must have started from the river. That probably meant that he had come from Ku siak. He was a young man, talking the jargon of a college football player. Without doubt he was, in the old phrasing of the North, a chechako. Gideon Holt's sly tfrain moved keenly to the possibility that he could put a name to this human derelict they had picked up. 110 be gan to see it as more than a pos sibility, as even a probability, at least as. a fifty-fifty chance. A sar donic grin hovered about the cor ners of his grim mouth. It would be a strange freak of irony if Wally Selfridge, to prevent a meeting be tween him and the government land agent, had sent him a hundred miles miles into the wilderness to save the life of Gordon Elliot and so had brought about the meeting that otherwise would never have taken place. CHAPTER IX The Rah-Itali Boy Functions Big Bill grumbled a good leal r.t the addition to the party. It would be decidedly awkward if this stranger should become rational and understand the status of the camp he had joined. The word of Holt alone' might be negligible, but sup ported by that of a disinterested party it would be a very different matter. Still, there was no help for it. They would have to tai<e care of the man until he was able to travel. At the worst Big Bill :ould give him a letter to Selfridge ex plaining things and so pass the buck to that gentleman. QIC Holt had, with the tacit con sent of his guards, appointed him self as a sort of nurse to the ritranger. Early in the evening the sick man fell into a sound sleep, from which he did not awake until morning. George was away looking after the p&ekhorses. Dud Wfts cooking break fast, and Big Bill, his rifle close at hand, was chopping young firs fifty feet back of the camp. The cook also had a gun, loaded with buck shot, lying on a box beside him, so thut tliey were taking no chances with their prisoner. The old miner turned from rear ranging the boughs of green fir on the smudge to see that his patient was awake and his mind normal. The quiet, steady eyes resting upon him told him that the delirium had passed. "Pretty nearly all in, wasn't I?" the young man said. The answer of Gid Holt was an odd one. "Yep. Seven —eleven—f<f- teen. Take 'er easy, old man," he said in his shrill, high voice as he moved toward the man in the blan kets. Then, in a low tone, while he pretended to arrange the bedding over the stranger, he asked a quick question. "Are you Elliot?" "Don't tell them. Talk football lingo as if yon was still out of your haid." Holt turned and called to Dud. "Says he wants some break fast."

"Of course I'do—l know it as well as I know anything in life." "I thought you doubted me when you said what you did tonight." "No, I don't doubt that you love me, only that sometimes you fail to understand." The girl met the man's eyes, fully. Had she failed to understand, was that why her life with Jack had been so filled with little petty quibblings, sordid little quarrels that made her bitterly unhappy, hnd Jack quiet and hard? "Oh, Jack," she began, almost tearfully. "Don't misunderstand my mean ing," he interrupted, before she could go on. "What was it you were going to say, then?" "Only that we let little things make so much difference. You seem to lose control of your temper, and say things you don't mean." "And you refuse to be frank with me, and close up your heart so that I feel that I can't get near you," the girl finished. "Weil, I'll promise not lo do that if you will think twice before you consider yourself inconsiderately treated." "All right, Jack, and we'll 'never, never have another misunderstand ing." The words were breathed against his shoulder as he held her close and consecrated by their new feeling of mutual understanding, both felt as though sordid quarrel ing had been put into the discard forever. But, oh, how quickly are such things as making up forgotten. Not two days later, with as little excuse as any of their squabblings, another cloud blew into the sky. And the cause was so trivial, so foolish, that it was not worth considering, only Betty was so easily sensitive and Jack so cognizant of the fact. Seated at dinner in the tiny res taurant, where the prices were rea sonable and the cooking excellent, Betty unconsciously started the ball rolling. 'lsn't It great to have an evening CHRISTMAS OPPORTUNITIES FOR TELEGRAPH RE THE Christmas spirit may be shown in no better way than by gifts, large or small to those less fortunate than ourselves, and with whom we may not even be acquainted. The following cases are those of unfortunate and needy citi zens right here in Harrisburg, and who are personally known to the workers of the Associated Aid Socie ties. The Aid Societies vouch for the families and their needs in every instance. If citizens of Harrisburg wish to do something for these peo ple which will provide a Christmas which will last the year around, they can not do better than to send a con tribution to the funds being used directly for these families. The way to do it is very simple—simply sign your check, or enclose cash with your name, and mall to Vance C. McCormick, treasurer, box 405, Har risburg, Pa., and enclose a clipping indicating which of the families you wish your contribution to be made for. The Aid Societies guarantee that every cent of R will be used for the families in the ways indicated. They will further, if your name and address is given, be glad to send you a report about the family, telling you Just how the money was ex pended and how the family is get ting on. The cases follow: 1, Incurable The father has an incurable di sease. The wife, although not strong is bravely trying to keep a little brood of three together by what she can earn at days work. None of the children old enough to work, and they are bright -promising children, always neatly dressed. $5 a week will be needed for some time to come, in order to keep the family to-, gether. 2. Grandmother and Children An aged grandmother arid three children, make up this family. The parents.are dead. The grandmother does days work although not physi cally able, and the children do many lo ourselves for a chance?" she ex claimed, joyously. Jack, in the midst of deciding be tween cauliflower and asparagus, did not answer just at once, and Hetty's heart gave a sudden leap. She kept back the sharp words that she wanted to say, however, and was glad, for the next moment Jack was eagerly looking across the table at her and acquiescing in as enthusiastic a manner as even Betty could have desired. "I should say so," he responded. "We never do have enough evenings alone together—always some other people rung in." "That's right, dear," Betty as sented. "But this is our night, and we'll spend it at home." "Would you rather do that than go somewhere?" "Oh, yes, I would! Why Jack, I thought you would be sure to want to stay at home." "I want to do just whatever you I want to do," said Jack guardedly, i Now, Jack was not to be blamed for being wary. Many a young hus band has been wary before him, for many a young wife is no more rea sonable than Betty and just as sure to magnify trifles. Bettys did not respond, and an awkward silence fell between them. A moment later, when Jack vouch safed a remark, Betty responded in a hurt little way that he had come (o dread. He looked amazed, as well ne might. "Great Scott!" he ejaculated, "what's wrong now?" Betty looked up, a pained little expression in her eyes. "Nothing, Jack—nothing at all," she said in a small, weak voice. "But there is something wrong. Now, see here, girl, we mustn't start another one of those fracases. What's wrong now?" "Why, you're bored at the thought of an evening alone with me," Betty f.aid in a martyred tone. The truth of this statement was so 'warped that if it had not been for Jack's common sense a catastrophe would have been precipitated. He saw Betty's viewpoint just for a second before? it was swallowed by the fact that lie had sought only to please lier in the matter, and then he reached across the table and said compellingly: "Look at me, young lady." Betty obeyed. "Where's your sense of humor?" he asked quickly. "Do you know that your being absurdly sensitive and taking up a thing wholly wrong is about to start something if you're not careful?" Betty met his eyes and for the moment saw clearly herself, and sh* was ashamed. Certainly it had been her fault this time, and she had failed to understand. Did all their quarrels spring from such an ab surd beginning? And if so, how petty it all was In the face of her love for Jack and his love for her, which, in the last analysis, were ail that really nlattered! small jobs which help to eke out the family income. At least $3.00 a week for the necessities of life will be needed here, and more if the chil j dren are to really enjoy life. 3. Widow and Four Children Tuberculosis keeps this widow from earning very much, and she | should be given • a rest of several | months, but she cannot get it linless a sum of about SB.OO a week is pro j vided lor about three months or | more. This will take care of rent | and groceries. Unless this can bo ; | done she will have to go to a sana ; torium and the children placed out I during that time. She is a good mother and the children need her. Relatives are not in a position to help in any way. 4. Six Cliildren-—No Father All the children are under 16 years ; of age. The oldest boy is doing linely in school, and earns a great deal in I the morning before school and in the ! evening after school. The mother is strong but wages for the kind of ! work she can do are not high. Rela tives are helping as much as can be expected. S.OO a month will be ; needed until the boy goes to work regularly, and then their problem will be solved. 5. Invalid Husband The wife is working hard to sup port herself and invalid husband. But as in so many cases she can not work hard all day and then come home and work just as hard the rest |of the time without feeling the strain. For rent, coal, groceries and other necessities she should have i $5.00 a week so as to allow her a ; chance to get rested. tt. Homeless | Two bright children, father de scribed as "queer" and incapable ot j properly caring for them. She works I in a laundry in the city, and is able to pay fifty cents a week toward their board in one of the society's homes in the country, where the children are getting excellent care. $1 .50 a week is needed regularly.

Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX Evil-Minded DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am seriously interested in a girl of twenty-six who has been going for five years with a man of forty six. She admits that he takes her out regularly in his automobile, to theaters and other places of amuse ment. Yet she is willing to give him up. I am broad-minded, but somehow am inclined to regard their friend ship with suspicion. What is your opinion? W. B. Oh. no, you are not broadminded; you are narrow-minded—evil-mind ed, in fact—and you add jealousy to your suspicious nature. Why can you not believe that a girl can have a perfectly decent and respectable friendship with a man under cir cumstances just such as you have described? Why can yon not respect and believe in a girl who is willing to give up luxuries necausc of her feeling for you? Are you so dis trustful of her because you your self could not be friends with a girl for five years and treat iier with re spect, or-have you simply a morbid attitude toward most things? |T~ " S f GREETINGS f j ■ | $ We extend Christmas Greet- $ | ings to all our patrons and 1 | friends and invite them to .% | partake of our Dollar Special ft Christmas Dinner, which we 4 | will serve on Christmas Day, f | from 11.30 A.
