The Yukon ( By William MacLeod Ralne (Continued) "I'm going away for two days. Perhaps when I come back you will know, Sheba. Take your time. Mar riage is serious business. I want you to remember that my life has been different from yours. You'll hear all sorts of things about ine. Some of them are true There is this difference between a man and a good woman. He fights and falls and fights again and wins. But a good woman is finer. She has never known the failure that drags one through slime and mud. Her good ness is born in her; she doesn't have to fight for it." The girl smiled a little tremu lously. "Doesn't she? We're not all angels you know." "I hope you're not. There will I need to be a lot of the human in you to make allowances for Colby .\laedonald," he replied with an an- ! swering smile. When he said good-by it was with a warm, strong handshake. "I'll be back in two days. Per haps you'll have good news for me j then," he suggested. The dark, silken lashes of her eyes lifted shyly to meet his. "Perhaps," she said. • • • During the absence of Maedonald the field agent saw less of Sheba than he . ad expected, and when he did see her she had an abstracted manner he did not quite understand., She keDt to her own room a good deal, except when she took long 1 walks into the hills back of the' town. Diane had a shrewd ideal that the Alaskan had put his for-] tune to the test, and she not only j let her eousin alone herself, but fended Gordon from her adroitly. I The third day after the dinner El- I liot dropped around to the Pa gets i with intent to get Sheba into a set! of tennis. Diane sat On the porch darning socks. "Sheba is out walking with Mr. Maedonald," she explained in an swer to a question as to the where-| a bouts of her guest. "Oh, he's back, is he?" remarked! Gordon moodily. "He came back this morning. Sheoa has gone up with him to see | lite I.ucky Strike." "You're going to marry her to j lhat man if you can. aren't you?"| he charged. "If I can, Gordon." She clipped a darning ball into one of little Peter's stockings and placidly j trimmed the hole. "It's what I call a conspiracy." ' "Is it?" Diane smiled. Gordon understood her smile to J mean he was jealous. "Maybe I am. That'R not the] point, he answered, just as if she had made her accusation in words, j "Suppose you tell me what the point is," she suggested. Daily Dot Puzzle 2° .

Any man I who is strong can make himself j good enough for the woman he loves " "Generally speaking, yes. But Colby Macdonald is different." "That heaven he is," she retorted impatiently. Then added after a ! moment: "He isn't a Sunday school j superintendent if that's what you I mean." "That isn't what I mean at all. i Hut there's such a thing as a dif [ ference between right and wrong, isn't there?" "Oh. yes. For instance, Mr. Mc donald is right about the need of developing Alaska and the way to do it, and you are wrong." "I'm not talking about essential right and wrong. Miss O'Neill is idealizing Macdonald. I don't sup pose you've told her, for instance, that he made his money in the North running a dance hall." "No, I haven't told her any such thing, because it isn't true," she re plied scornfully. "He owned an opero house and brought in a com pany of players. X dare say they danced. That's very different, as you'd know if you didn't have astig matism of the mind." "Not the way the story was told mc. But let that pass. Does she know that Macdonald beat her lather out of one of the best claims on Bonanza and was indirectly re sponsible for his death?" "What's the use of talking non sense-, Gordon. You know you can't prove that," his friend told him sharply. "I think I can—if it is neces sary." Diane looked across at him with an impudent little tilt of the chin. "I don't think I like you as ".veil as I used to." "Sorry, because I'd like you just as well, Diane, if you would stop trying to manage your cousin into a marriage that will spoil her lit a," lie answered gravely. "The happi ness of Miss O'Neill is of very groat importance to me." "Do you mean—?" Wide-eyed, she looked her question straight at him. "That's just what I mean, D'ane." She darned for a minute in silence. It had occurred to Diane before that perhaps Gordon might be in love with Sheba, but she h;id put the thought from her because she did not wapt to believe it. "That's different, Gordon. It ex plains—and in a way excuses —your coming here and trying to bully me." She stopped her work to flash a question at him. "Don't you think that maybe it's only a fancy of yours? I remember you used—" He shook his head. "No chance, Diane. I'm hard hit. She's the onlv girl I ever met that suited me. Everything she does is right. Every move she makes is wonderful." 'J'he eyes with which she looked at him were softer, as thoso of women are wont to be for the true romance. ' You poor boy," she murmured, and let her hand for a moment rest on his. "Meaning that I lose?" he asked quickly. "I think you do. I'm not sure." EU'ot leaned forward impulsively. "Ee a good sport, Diane. Let me have my chance too. Why do you make it easy for Macdonald and hard for me? Isn't it because the glamor of his millions blinds you'" ''He's, a big, splendid man, but I don't l'ke him any the less because he has the power to makeilifo ea?y and comfortable for Sheba," s'ie defended sturdily.

This road is ex tensively traveled and the State Highway Department charged that the crossings are dangerous. The company replied that after the war and things become normal it would take up the problems of abolishing them. The case will raise the question of state authority very clearly, as the state is the complainant but attor neys on both sides will probably ask to have the matter continued until the status of the company in re gard to such matters as Improve ments can be determined.

Stanley JSchelman, of Ephrata township, who was injured several days ago while coasting and taken to the Lancaster General Hospital, died in the institu tion during the night, without re gaining consciousness. He was fif teen years of age, and besides his parents is survived by two brothers. H3TRMSBURG *£&&& TEtEGRXPH Ice Cream Product Declared to Be Healthy Commenting on the bacteriology of ice cream the Medical Record: says: "Ice cream has been declaimed | against on Various grounds, princi- j pally, perhaps, on account of its ire-! quently reported uncleanliness. I There is no question, however, that ice cream made under strictly hy gienic conditions is, in addition to its grateful palatability, especially in \ hot weather, a nutritious food, and, its use in certain complaints is of J considerable value from the dietetic; standpoint. The statement has been | made that the distribution of bac- j teria in ice cream is markedly un-! even, that there is so great varia bility in the bacterial counts of dif- i ferent portions of the same contain er that any small sample selected, for analysis will not represent thei whole mass of the ice cream. "This statement is disputed by S. I Henry Ayres and VV. T. Johnson in bulletin No. 503, United States de-| partment of agriculture, who givel an account of the manner in which 1 they determined bacteria in ice I cream. As a result of their investi gations they came to the conclusion that the method of collecting sam ples and making bacterial counts used in the experiments gives results which indicate that bacteria in com-! mercial cream are distributed quite evenly, and that an analysis from a gallon of ice cream gives results which will hold for any other simi lar sample from the same gallon. "Storage of ice cream for eleven days in a commercial cream cabinet, or in a hardening room for a period I of two months, did not seem to cause I an uneven distribution of bacteria, jln a series of from five to ten ; samples taken directly from a large ! commercial freezer, the bacterial | counts on each sample checked with in the usual limits of error of bac terial analysis. No greater variation | in bacterial counts between samples j was observed when the plates were I incubated at 3 7 degrees Centigrade | for 48 hours than when incubated at 3li degrees Centigrade for a perrod j of five days. 1 "When dilutions were such t.hat j about 200 colonies were present on j the plates a lower variation between j counts of samples of ice colonies per 1 plate. The variation in plates made | l'rom the same sample was found to j range from 7 to 26.G per cent. ; Among duplicate plates a variation : as high as 41 per cent was observed." * TETLEYS f India and Ceylon The daily household menu should take in articles of greatest economic value.
