aivd all ike RsivJlxj jjPH The Yukon By William MacLeod Ratne (Continued) A ring at the door interrupted! her. Sheba stepped forward and let in an Indian woman with a little boy clinging to her hand. "You Miss O'Neill?" she asked. ! "Yes." From the folds of her shawl she j drew a letter. The girl glanced at' the address, then opened and read; what was written. She looked up, | puzzled, first at the comely, flat footed Indian woman and afterward nt the handsome little papoose. She turned to Gordon. "ThU> letter says I am to ask this woman who is the father of her boy. What does it mean?" Gordon knew instantly what 't' meant, thought he could not guess; who had dealt the blow. The im- ; pulse to spare her pain was stronger ; In him than the desire that she; should know the truth. "Send her away," he urged. "Don't ask any questions. She has been to hurt y.ou." A fawnlike fear flashed into the! startled eyes. "To hurt me?" "I am afraid so." "But—why? I have done nobodyi any harm." Sie seemed to hold even ! her breathing in suspense. "Perhaps some of Maedonald's! enemies," he suggested. And at that there came star-flanh j into the soft eyes and a lifted tilt | of the chin cut fine as a cameo. She turned proudly to the Indian woman. "What is it that you have to tell | me i'.bout this boy's father?" Meteetse began to speak. At the I first mention of Maedonald's name[ Sheba's eyes dilated. Her smile. hcr| sweet, glad pleasure at Gordon's ar rival, were already gone like the | 'Dime of a blown candle. Cl.Mrlyj her heart was a-flutter, in fear of; Hie knew not what. When the In- ! •lian woman told how she had first! crossed the path of Macdonald, the; onlor flamed into the cheeks of the' Irish girl, but as the story pro- [ gressed, the blood ebbed even from I her lips. • Wit ha swift movement of her fin- j gers she flashed on the hall light. Her gaze searched the brown, shiny I lace of the little chap. She read j there an affidavit of the truth of his i mother's tale..

The youngster hung back shyly ftir.oi'g the folds of the Indian woman's skirt. "Colmac," he Laid in last softly. "Come!" Sheba flung open the <ioor of the living room and ushered lliein in .Macdonald, pacing restlessly up i>"il down the room during her ab .')ipe, pulled up in his stride.

Gordon started to explain, then stopped with a shrug. What was the use? The man would never be lieve him in the world. "I'll remember this," the Alaskan promised his rival. There was a cold glitter in his eyes, a sudden flare of the devil that was blood-chilling. "It's true, then," broke in Sheba. "You're a—squaw man. You be long to tliis woman." "Nothing of the kind. That's been ended for years." "landed?" Sheba drew Colmac forward by the wrist. "Do you deny that this Is your boy?" The big Alaskan brushed this aside as of no moment. "I dare say he is. Anyhow, I'm paying for his keep. What of it? That's all finished and done with." "How car it be done with when when slit's the mother of your child, your wife before God?" Stand ing there straight as an aspen, the beautiful l.osom rising and falling quickly while the storm waves beat through her blood, Sheba O'Neill had never made more appeal to the strong, lawless man who desired her for his wife. "You don't understand." Mae donald's big fists were clenched so savagely that the knuckles stood out white from the brown tan of the %!esh. "This is a man's country. It's new—close to nature. What he wants he takes — if he's strong enough. I'm elemental. I—" "Vou wanted her —and you took her. Now you want me—and I sup pose youM take me too." Her scorn ful words bad the sting of a whip lush. "I've lived as all men live who have red liood in them. This wnman was an incident. I've been abovo board. She can't say I ever prom- ised more than I've given. I've kept her afid the bos\ It's been no secret. If you had asked, I would have toid you the whole story." "Does that excuse you?" "I don't need any excuse. I'm a man. That's excuse enough. The one big tact you want to set your teeth into now is that I love you, that there isn't another woman on God's earth for me, and that there never will be again." Her eyes flashed battle. "The one big fact I'm facing is that you have insulted me—that you insult nie again when you mention love with that woman and boy m the room. You belong to them—go to them—and leave me alone. I hate the sight of you. W r hy don't you go---a)l of you.—and leave me in peace?" It was a cry of bruised pride and wounded love. Elliot touched the Indian woman on the shoulder. Moteetse turned stolidly and walked cult of the room, still leading Col mac by the hand. The young man followed. Macdonald closed the door behind them, then strode frowning u and tiowu the loom. The fear was grow ing on him that for all his great driving rower he could not shake this slim girl from the view to which she clung. His relation with Mete<itse had been ratural enough. He be lieved that he had acted very non orably to her. Many a man would have left her in the lurch to take care of the youngster by herself. But he had acknowledged his obli gation. He was paying his debt scrupulously, and because of it the story had risen to confront him. He felt that it was an unjust blow of fate. He kne-.v that he must justify himself tcfore Sheba or lose her. As ho stood in the dusk so tall and rigid, he knew her heart was steel to him. Ker finely chiseled face hirl the look of race. Never had the !;p°ll of her been more upon him. He crushed back a keen-edged de r-ire to take her supple young body into his uvtns and kiss her till the scarlet ran into her cheeks like flashes of wine. "Von haven't the proper slant on this, Slieba. Alaska is the last fron tier. It's (lie dropping-off place. You're north of fifty-three." "Am I north of the Ten Com mandments?" she demanded with the inexorable judgment of youth. "Did j;ou leave the moral coda at home when you came in over the ice?" He singed a little. "Morality' is tho average conduct of the average man at a given time and place. It is based on custom and expediency. The ruies made for Droglieda won't fit Dawson or Nome. Meteetse does not hold herself disgraced but hon ored. She counts her boy far superior io the other youngsters of the village, and he is so considered by the tribe. I am told she lords it over her sisters." A Jaint flush of anger crept into her cheeks. "Your view of morality put*! us on a level with the animals. I will not discuss the subject, jf you please."

Life's Problems Are Discussed By Mrs. Wilson Wootlrow The man in uniform is going to and fro on the earth these days and up and down in it. You see him around "the hotels and in the railway stations, in the trolley cars and on the streets, and always moving, always alert, always with an air of purpose about him. There is no dawdling uncertainty in his actions; he knows just where he is going and what he has got to do. It is suggestive in a way of the pre cision and purpose to be observed in the different parts of'some intricate and perfectly co-ordinating piece of machinery. Indeed, it is a wonderful machine that T T ncle Sum has built up in the past few months—this Army and Navy of splendid, stalwart young men—and a very different fighting force from any that was ever before assembled. I had felt this in a way, had sens ed the "different" quality without knowing just where it lay; but it re mained for a young captain of the regulars with whom I was talking to put it into words for me. We had been discussing the ques tion of desertion, and I asked him if they encountered much of it. "In the strict sense of the word, hardly at all," he said. "Most of the cases we have to deal with are those of young fellows who run away in order to see their girls. They get the longing, and can't resist it." "And what do they get when you bring them back?" I asked. "Six months in prison for a first offense," he answered laconically. "Repeaters in proportion." Then a quizzical little twinkle showed in his eye, and he added: "The circum stances have a lot of bearing, though. We know the men, you see, and we know pretty well the motive behind the desertion. One of these birds that goes because he's simply bound to jump the traces unywliere finds scant mercy; but a poor, love-sick kid— well, that's something else. The army to-day, you must understand," he observed reflectively, "is a pretty human sort of an organization." I looked about me. There were, if I remember correctly, a couple of naval lieutenants, a major of cav alry, a lieutenant on staff duty, the chief petty officer of a battleship and several privates—a talkative, happy go-lucky, fine lot of boys. I had been interestedly watching and listening to them, and as a re sult the adjective which the cap tain had employed to describe the service as it stands to-day struck me with a sudden realization of apt ness. Human! That was exactly the word to express it. It was * formerly held that mili tay discipline demanded that a great gulf be fixed between officers and men. But here they all seemed to be comrades, quite regardless of their rank. One of the men told me about a football game in which tho teams were composed partly of officers and partly of men, and hilariously recit ed the insulting epithets showered on the shoulder-strapped players by coaches who an hour afterward would be standing at attention, with hands up in stiff salute, when one of these same officers passed. The story would have made an old-time martinet turn blue with horror. I turned to the major pres ent and asked whether such free dom might not tend to create a cer tain looseness and lack of efficiency. "Not a bit of it," he affirmed. "The soldier to-day responds more quick ly to military training and accepts its restrictions more readily than under the old system because he talks to his officers and understands the reason for what is being done. Wo have simply scrapped a lot of snobbish junk, and are getting down to essentials. "That is the direction which the whole modern method is taking in I actual warfare. On the other side I when a company goes 'over the top' j the olflcers wear no distinguishing j insignia nor uniform, neither do they lead, but charge in a line with their men, as like all the rest in ap pearance as peas in a pod." This conversation roused in me a deal of speculation. When you come to think of it, these young men and the ones who will shortly follow them into the cantonments and training camps are the men who will direct the future destiny of this country. And the manner in which they will direct it will be largely governed by the impressions they are now receiving. They are shuttling .back and forth across the continent, doing more traveling in many cases than they would otherwise have dreamed of accomplishing in all I their lives, and incidentally becoming ; familiar with tho people and cus toms of all sections. More than that, they arc going across the ocean and coining into intimate contact with the people and customs over there. Does not all this point to a tre mendous breaking down of section alism and provincialism and to the development not only of a new na tional consciousness but of a new world consciousness? Broadened and enriched by their experiences, these men should handle the problems of the future with a quickened intelli ! gence. Then add to this the effect of the j "human" quality in that organiza j tion in which they itre banded, and i what is to be the result? I For years the world has been | talking about "The Brotherhood of Man." The talk didn't mean very I much. "The Brotherhood of Man" was a nice mouth-filling phrase for orators and could generally be trusted to get a hand. But that was about all there was to it. The few idealists who from time to time tried to put the principle into actual prac tice found themselves extremely lonely. Yet in this hour when the whole world is at strife, and men by mil lions are tearing at one another's throats, the better understanding and the wider sympathy which are dawn- A SUCCESSFUL REMEDY All 'things succeed which really deserve to, —which fill a real need, which prove their worth. The fact that the famous old root and nerb remedy, Lydia E. Ptnkham's Vege table Compound, has for three gen erations been relieving women of this country from the worst forms of female ills and has won such a strong place in our American homes proves its merit beyond the question of a doubt. It will well pay any won;an who is in need of such a medicine J.o try it. What Women In Their "Forties" Need IIV V SIK< IAI.IST Many women approach the critical changing period of their lives that cornea between the ages of forty and fifty, unmindful of its tremendous importance to their future health and happiness. Not understanding the functional changes taking place in their bodies, they work beyond their strength, often break down, become nervous wrecks, their "bodies suffer ing with fatigue and their weakened nerves trembling at every step. Often in their weakened condition capillary hemorrhage becomes excessive, this added drain compelling them to take to their beds from nervous exhaus tion. What these women need is some thing that will instantly relieve the pressure on the overworked nerve centers and give them the vitality to utand up under the grueling strain. Wonderfully effective results are often given in such conditions by the simple use of Margo Nerve Tablets, a skillful combination of six of the besc nerve vitalizing elements known to modern chemistry. These little tab lets contain no dangerous habit-form ing drugs and are entirely harmless in their action. Thousands of women can testify that Margo Nerve' Tablets strengthen the Jaded nerves, revive the tired bruin and put the energy and courage Into the body that enablos one to stand up under the unusual strain of the changing period. Margo has to do these things or it costs nothing as Kennedy's Cut-ißate Medicine Store and other leading druggists sell It on a positive guarantee of relief or money back. —Advertisement. ing seem to presage the Brotherhood of Man not only as an iridescent dream but as an imminent possibility.

A Sure Way To End Dandruff There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at. once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), ap ply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gentlv with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will com pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may \ have. I You will find all itching and dig ging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and so % ft, and look and feel a hundred times better—Adv.
