Yukon Trail
By William MacLeod Ralne \j
(Continued)
It was the only thing to be done.
Klliot broke camp and packed the
sled. Upon the load he put his com
panion, well wrapped up in furs.
Two miles up the road Gordon j
stopped his team sharply. He had j
turned a bed in the trail and had i
come upon an empty stage buried In
the snow.
The fear that had been upper
most in Elliot's mind for twenty
four hours clutched at his throat.
Was it tragedy upon which he had
come after his long journey?
Holt guessed the truth. "They
got stalled and cut loose the horses. !
Must have tried to ride the cayuses
to shelter."
"To Smith's Crossing?" asked '
Gordon.
"Expect so." Then, with a j
whoop, the man on the sled contra
dicted himself. "No, by Moses, to
lJick Fiddler's old cabin up the |
draw. That's where Swiftwater I
would aim for till the blizzard was
over."
"Where is it?" demanded 'his
friend.
"Swing over to the right and fol
low the little gulch. I'll wait till
you come back."
Gordon dropped the gee-pole and
started on the instant. Eagerness,
anxiety, dread, fought in his heart.
He knew that any moment now he
might stumble upon the evidence
of the sad story which is repeated in
Alaska many times every winter. It j
rang in him like a bell that where ;
tough, hardy miners succumbed a '
frail girl would have small chance. I
He cut across over the hill toward j
the draw, and at what he saw his |
pulse quickened. Smoke was pour- i
ing out of the chimney of a cabin j
and falling groundward, as it does j
in the Arctic during very cold wea- j
ther. Had Sheba found safety I
there?
As he pushed forward the rising ;
sun flooded the earth with pink and j
struck a million sparkles of color j
JUST A DAB ~~

from the snow. The wonder of it I
drew the eyes of the young man for 1
a moment toward the hills.
A tumult of joy flooded his veins. |
The girl who held in her soft hands ]
the happiness of his life stood look- j
ing at him. It seemed to him that i
she was the core of all that lovely j
tide of radiance. He moved toward |
her and looked down into the i
trench where she waited. Swiftly he j
kicked off his snowshoes and leaped !
down beside her.
The gleam of tears was in her 1
eyes as she held out both hatlds to
him. During the long look they
gave each other something wonder- !
ful to both of them was born into
the world.
When he tried to speak his hoarse J
voice broke. "Sheba—little Sheba! I
Safe, after .all. Thank God, you— |
you—" He swallowed the lump in j
his throat and tried again. "If you j
knew—God. how I have suffered! I i
was afraid —I dared not let myself
think."
A live pulse beat in her white
throat. The tears brimmed over.
Then, somehow she was in his arms
weeping. Her eyes slowly turned to
his, and he met the touch of her
surrendered lips.
Nature had brought them together j
by one of her resistless and unpre- j
meditated impulses.
A stress of emotion had swept!
her into his arms. Now she drew
away from him shyly. The con
ventions in which she had been
brought up asserted themselves. An
absurd little fear obtruded itself in
to her happiness. Had she rushed
into his arms like a lovesick girl,
taking it for granted that he cared
for her?
"You —came to look for us?" she
asked, with the little shy stiflness of
embarrassment.
"For you—yes."
He could not take his eyes from
her. It seemed to him that a bird
was singing in his heart the glad
ness he could not express. He had
for many hours pushed from his
mind pictures of her lying white
and rigid on the snow. Instead she
stood beside him. her delicate beauty
vivid as the flush of a flame.
"Did they telephone that we were
lost?"
"Yes. X was troubled when the
storm grew. I coold not sleep. So
I called up the roadhouse by long
distance. They had not heard from
the stage. Later I called again.
When I could stand it no longer, I
started."
"Xot on foot?"
"Xo, with Holt's dog team. He
is back there. His leg is broken. A
snow-slide crushed him this morn
ing where we camped."
"Bring him to the cabin. I will
tell the others you are coming."
"Have you had any food?" he
asked.
A tired smile lit up the shadows
of weariness under her salt, dark
eyes. "Boiled oats, plum pudding
and chocolates." she told him.
"We have plenty of food on the
sled. I'll bring it at once."
She nodded, and turned to go to
the cabin. He watched for a
moment the lilt in her walk. An ex
pression from his reading jumped to
his mind. Melodious feet! Some
poet had said that, hadn't he?
Surely it must have been Sheba of
whom he was thinking, this girl so
virginal of body and of mind, free
and light-footed as a caribou on
the hills.
Gordon returned to the sled and
drove the team uo the draw to the
cabin. The three who had been
marooned came to meet their res
cuer.
"You must 'a' come right through
the storm lickitty split," Swiftwater
said.
"You're right we did. This side
pardner of mine was bent on wrest
ling with a blizzard." Holt answered
dryly.

LIFE'S PROBL
ARE DISCUSSED
By MRS. WILSON WOODROW
Among my various correspond- j
ents is a very clever young womivu !
who prefers to remain incognito.!
She signs herself. "Miss' Twenty!
Seven," and she always offers me'
some psychological nut to crack. ]
This is her latest communication:
"Dear Mrs. Woodrow—l am Miss
Twenty Seven and am taking the (
liberty of writing you again. 1 want,
to ask you a question, and am al
most certain your answer to it will
be, 'lt is a matter for you to decide'
personally.' But 1 think I need a
little outside help, not saying, of
course, that I will not follow myi
own inclinations. Still, your views
may change my attitude.
"The son of some old family
friends wishes to marry me. He
is fairly good to look upon, though
by no means handsome. Intellec
tually he is not my equal. He has i
no ideals. He is kind and gen-!
erous; his character is good; he,
has no bad habits. He has an ex-'
eellent income, a fine car, and he
would give me clothes ant jewels
and be good to m<. He is a faith
ful plodder, but is not awake to
the real beauties of life. I doubt j
if he could ever be awakened, as
he has not been reared in an en-1
\ironment that would foster such'
growth. If I married him I would
have comforts and a home, a good;
husband and, no doubt, Children. i
"My friends and family tell me
that 'good catches' are hard to find, >
(hat men are getting scarcer, and
that I am getting older, and that
ideals are never realized, but he is !
nothing life what I had dreamed
of. I had looked for companion
ship. 1 doubt is he would ever
know what love means. And I had
hoped for a loving husband and
have always said that I would re-'
main single if I did not find my
Prince Charming. But deep down
in my heart I feel that I could
never he happy if I remained sin
gle. I want more, too. You will
say that no one gets everything,
but just what is it that should b£
sacrificed?
"I am in business, and am up
holding a very pretty and com
fortable apartment for my parents.
And while I cannot say they have
the luxuries, they at least have the
comforts of life. Father has not
worked for years, and is now an

For Banishing Hairs |
(Beauty Topics)
With the aid of a delatone paste,
it is an easy matter for any woman
to remove every trace of hair or fuzz
from face, neck and arms. Enough
of the powdered delatone and wa
ter is mixed into a thick paste and
spread on the hairy surface for about
two minutes, then tubbed ofT and the
skin washed. This completely re
moves the hair, but to avoid dis
appointment, get the delatone in an
original package.—Adv.

who would have appreciated her

"Now that financial worries are
past, she is tied down day and night
with an invalid. For herself she
does not complain, but she would
wish me to be able to meet the kind
of people that I seek. What solu
tion do you offer to my problem ?
The New Thought idea, that which

"Now that woman has come into

That isn't the kind of happiness I

happiness lie in a complete unit —

"MISS TWENTY SEVEN."
My Dear Unknown Frienfl: Thank
you for saying that you are going i
to follow your own inclinations, no
matter what I may say. There
fore I dare discuss the question with
you, because you are a strong and;
sell-reliant soul, and my views will i
really carry no weight.
Your quantity of nature is mark-'
odly emphasized. The home-maker
conflicts with the student; and
both seem equally strong. You ask I
w'hat is it that must be sacrificed?
Do not sacrifice anything. Your'
problem is to fuse into harmony the j
natural impulses, not to suppress
them. There is no such thing as;
killing anything, either in the world :
of thought or of materiality. What- i
ever you have fancied you killed will
sooner or later rise from its grave-1
clothes and confront you.
Since you are inherently analyt-l
ical and evidently prefer to face
facts rather than to gild or to ig
nore them, let us face a few.
No matter whether you marry, or
whom you marry, you will still
have your father and mother to
look after. That is a circumstance
that the man who wishes you for
his wife must take into account.

FOR THE WXLL-DREBBTD
WOMAN.
The woman who has a correct knowl
edge of dress will not go in for ex.
tremes, though it is not probable that
many will be in connection
with styles for the coming spring. The
frock to the left may be developed in
velvet, light weight velours, serge,
satin or poplin. The pockets extend
ing at the sides, break the straight
line of the skirt, though its effect is
narrow. A wide girdle joins the skirt
and waist and the collar is of em
broidered chiffon. In medium size the
model requires 5 yards 44-inch mate
rial.
Burgundy voile is used for the sec
ond model, the front and back panel
being in plaited effect. The fulness
is held in with a belt of striped silk
and there is a collar of the same mate
rial. The waist fastens at the left
side with black buttons. To duplicate
the design in medium size- requires
6% yards 40-inch voile, with % yard
striped silk.

Sizes, 14 to 20 years. Price, 20 cents.
It is not, however, a circumstance
which will greatly appeal to Prince!
Charming. You have, because ofi
your busy and practical life, been!
forced to create a sort of ideal J
world for yourself. You have cul-|
tivated your imagination—a great;
solace and a great danger—and, 11
take it, you have not known manyi
Prince Charmings.
Far be it from me to belittle;
Prince Charming. He is an ideal !
companion for a summer's day. He
adds enormously to the color and
gayety of the world. But it is cruel!
to bind on his gypsy shoulders the'
stern bread-and-butter responsibili-]
ties of married life.
"He is fickle as glimmers of star- i
light that shine
On the waves of the rivers ofi
dream.
His heart is unstable as wings that;
are lift
Where the dragon flies drift.
His heart is as wings that turn,
dartle and flit,
And his lives are as swift."
These brilliant, fascinating men
do have a little way of forgetting;
to order the necessary flour and;
fuel, and they never can rcmem- i
ber that bills must be paid. Con-j
sequently the plumber refuses to
heed the SOS call when the water I

Advice to the Lovelorn
lly BEATRICE FAIRFAX
THINK IT OVER
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Do you think it was wrong of mo
to accept the invitation of a married
man from out of town to take dinner
with him and then go to a theater? I
am 20.
I have known him for a few years
and lind him to be gentlemanly, and
when I accepted the invitation I saw
nothing wrong in it. My father, who
is very strict, reprimanded me.
Will you please give me your views
on the subject, as I have already ac
cepted another invitation from him.
and want your opinion, as I would
abide by it.
Unless tlio man was known to your
fpmily I think you were very unwise.
Married men with a proper sense of
respect for their wives and their own
obligations do not ask young girls to
dinner and supper unless tn a party
or with the knowledge of the girl's
parents. Your father's reprimand was
inspired through his care for your
reputation. If you were this man'js
wife would you like him to act with
out your knowledge as he is acting
toward you?
