The
Yukon
( By William MacLeod Ralne

"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.

"He isn't good enough for her.
Tou know that 'perfectly well."
i "Good enough!" She shrugged her
shoulders. "What man is good
I enough for a nice girl, if you come
| to that? There are other things be
| sides sugary goodness. 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.

Come Up Wednesday
The question of just how far the
Public Service Commission can go in
requiring railroads to abolish grade
crossings now that the railroads are
all under Governmental control will
probably be raised here on Wednes
day, when the Commission will hear
the state's own complaint against
three grade crossings on state high
ways which cross the Heading rail
way in Derry township, Dauphin
county, on the road between Harris
burg and Lebanon. 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. The out
come is being awaited with great
interest.

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."

The thermometer never falls below
70 and never rises above 90 in the

Christmas island lies about 250
miles southeast of the western ex
tremity of Java. It is in the In

ain, having been annexed in 1888.
This interesting little bit of land in
midsea appears to have been origin

at its highest point it sticks out of
the water 1,600 feet. In shape it is
an Irregular quadrilateral.' It has an
area of about twenty square miles.

Mothers of little girls will
find this coat a most satisfactory
one. There is a plain body por-
Ption and the skirt or lower por
tion of the coat can be made
with an inverted plait at the
back or gathers. The gathers
will be pretty if you are using
such material as broadcloth.
The plait is good for the heavier
cloths. In the picture, white
chinchilla cloth is trimmed with
black velvet and that combina
tion is very fashionable as well
as attractive. A broadcloth
coat with gathered back is pretty 1
and white, pastel colors and A
| cadet blue are favorites for such "■
use and you can trim it either V
with velvet or with the matenVt.', 1
For the 4-year size will be
