Then, j as it had been in the morning, Sheba i drew herself shyly away. "They are- waiting supper for us," I she told hiir irrelevantly. He did not shout out his happiness i and tell her to let them wait. Fori Gordon, too, felt awed at this won- | derful adventure of love that had ! bofallen them. It was enough lor I him that they were moving side by! sidi alone in the deep snows and the biting cold, that waves of emo- ! 'lon erased through his pulses when! his mvirigirg hand touched hers. They were acutely conscious of j >aeh other. Excitement burned in j the eyes that turned to swift, re- ] luctant meetings. She was a woman, I and he was her lover. Neither of them dared quite accept the fact ! yet, but it filled the background of ai their thoughts with delight. Sheba did not want to talk of : this new, amazing thing that had! come into her life. It was loo! racred a subject to discuss just yet <-ven with him.

They talked the incoherent 'anKuage of lovers that is com pounded of murmurs and silences and the touch of lips and the meet ings of eyes. There were to be other night ip their lives as rich memories as this but never another with quite the same delight. Presently Sheba reminded him with a smile of the long trail he had mentioned. Mrs. Olson bustled into the tent and her presences stressed the point. "Good night, neighbor." Gordon called back from outside the t<*nt. Sheba's "Good night" echoed softly back to him. The girl fell asleep to the sound of the light breeze slapping the tent and to the doleful howling of the huskies. CHAPTER XXII A Message From the Dead Macdonald drove his team into the teeth of the storm. • The wind came in gusts. Sometimes the gale was so stiff that the dogs could scarcely crawl forward against it; again there were moments of com parative stillnefcs, followed by squalls that slapped the driver in the face like the whipping of a loose sail on a catboat. High drifts made the trail diffi cult. Not once but fifty times Mac donald left the gee-pole to break a way through snow-waves for the sled. The best he could get out of his dogs was three miles an hour, and he knew that there was not anothe- team or Ir'ver in the North could have done so well. It was close to noon when he reached a division of the road known as the Fork. One trail ran down to the river and up it to the distant creeks. The other led across the divide, struck the Yukon, and pointed a way to the coast. White drifts had long since blotted out the track of the sled that had preceded him. Had the fugitives gone up the river to the creeks with intent to hole themselves up for HARRtSBUPG TELEGRAPH the, winter? Or was it their pur pose to cross the divide and go out over the ice to the coast'? The pursuer knew that Gid Holt was wise as a weasel. He could follow blindfolded the paths that led to every creek in the gold-fields. It nught be taken as cer tainty that he had not plunged into such a desperate venture without having a plan well worked out be forehand. Elliot had a high grade of intelligence. Would they try to reach the coast and make their get away to Seatt.e? Or would they dij* themselves in till the heavy snows were past and come back to civili zation with the story of a lucky strike to account for the gold they brought with them? Neither gold dust nor nuggets could be identified. There would be no way of proving the story false. The only evidence would be that they had left at Kusiak and this was merely a cor roborative kind. There would be no chance of convicting them upon it. To strike for Seattle was to throw awajf all pretense of innocence, fugitives from v justice, they would have -to disappear from sight in order to escape. The hunt for them would continue until at last they were unearthed. Ono fork oT the road led \.o com parative safety; the other went by devious windings to the penitentiary and perhaps the gallows. The Scotsman put himself in the place of the men he was trailing. Given ilie same conditions, he knew which path he would follow. Macdonald took the trail that led down to the river, to the distant gold creeks which offered a refuge from man-hunters In many a de serted cabin marooned by the deep snows. Kvcn the iron frame md steel muscles of the Scotch-Canadian protested against the task he had •>ot tcm that day. It was a time to sit snugly inside by a stove and listen to the howling of the wind as it hurled itself down from the divide. But from daylight till dark Colby Macdonald fought with drifts aui breasted the storm. He got into the harness with the dogs. He broke trail for them, cheered them, soothed comforted, punished. Long after night had fallen he staggered into the hut of two prospectors, his parka so stiff with frozen snow that it had to be beated with a hammer before the coat could be removed.

HI home defense I against bronchial I affections LIFE'S PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED By MRS. WILSON WOODROW IIY JIKS. WILSON WOODROW "Dear Mrs. Woodrow: I want to put my case before you and ask your advice. Several months ago my par ents insisted on my breaking my en gagement to a young man whom I dearly love, because his i habits were not as good as they would wish. He sometimes drinks too much. Both | he and I have been very unhappy ; ever since. He says that if I will j marry him, he will never touch an other drop, and his parents have promised to furnish an apartment for us and give us a good income if I do so. 1 believe what he says," for I really have a wonderful in fluence over him, and I would rath- I er be with him and feel that we wer6 j winning the light together than go ion living without him. I think I lam just the person to be with him; for I am strong and healthy, with I a firm disposition, and I have a cheerful outlook on life. Don't you think my parents are unreasonable to be so obstinate about the matter as they are?" Since you ask me, I do not. I think they would r be very singular parents if they did not take just exactly the stand th£y do. Since the days of Kve, the notion of marrying a man to" reform him has been a! persistent microbe in the female brain. Ages roll by, but neither time nqr the consensus of the world's ex perience seems to affect the efficiency of its bite. Why should a man shove the bur den of his reform onto a woman's shoulders? Why not put reform first, and marriage afterward? It is not so romantic, of course, and it does not give the opportunity for a perefectly useless self-sacrifice. But it s a vast deal safer and saner in the long run. "He says he will never touch an other drop if I will only marry him!" "And do you believe it? Oh, yes, oh, yes: I can see you indignantly arnrminff that you do, that you know he means it. Maybe he does, hut —can he keep on meaning it?

My dear girl, there's only one course to take in such matters, and that is to wait until he is thorough ly reformed, and his reform proven. Then marry him, if you still wish to do. so, If you put reform before marriage your chances for happiness arc a thousandfold increased. Wom en are capable of a number of rash actions; but high in the list of fem inine blunders stands the crowning folly of marrying a man to reform him. If you possess the Influence over him that you feel you do use it now. Let him show you, not by the test of a few weeks, or a few months, but by several years, whether his reformation is lasting and genuine. In no other way can you prove the truth of his protestations. That, you may exclaim, is a ter rible test!, Certainly it is, but it is the penalty he must pay for hav ing acquired a destructive habit, or for suffering from an unfortun ate affliction-—whichever way you look at it But no matter what you call it, it incurs a penalty. And you, too, must pay the penalty for having had the misfortunte to love a man who is thus afflicted. No doubt he argues and you are convinced that in your own little apartment, away from the old asso ciations and companions, he could begin life over again, secure from former temptations. Neither of you has yet realized that we can't escape anything by changing our environment. The change must take place within us. iYou, being a woman, are looking forward with pleasure to a home of your own. Are you qutie sure that you are willing to turn this dear, fresh, bright home of yours into a combination of a (Private sanitarium and a police station? There is no other such strain on the nerves as living with some one whom you have in a measure to police and on whim you must ever keep the guarding eye. : doesn't make very much dif ference what you are doing in life; : if you want to attain any degree of ' proliciency in it you've got to puz- I zle it out alone. If you are learn | ins to swim, for Instance, you will I never really get any confidence in I yourself as long as you have a belt around you attached to your instruc tor. Neither will you inspire con fidence in your swimming prowess in any one else. You've got to strike out boldly for yourself, test your own powers and acquire new'ones. | This is a life lesson that your suitor has not learned. In his efforts to free himself from this distressing trouble he needs the love and the sympathy of those about him. He should have their unchanging belief in his ability to rid himself of this habit which is ruining his life. He should not be in the atmosphere of negation and doubt. Are you prepared always to pre serve this atmosphere? You say that you love him devotedly, but In such cases love is not enough. Are you capable of the unwearying patience, the unshakable courage which you and he will both require? Are you proof against the disheartenment, not to speak of the disgust that you will certainly feel from time to time. If you are, you are not only a very exceptional woman, but a very rare and remarkable human being. You say that you are strong and well, and have a cheerful outlook on life. Then, why are you, a construc tive, positive character, dreaming of linking your life with the de structive and negative forces? Your health and strength and cheerful outlook and strong character were given to you for better uses than to throw them away on a Quixotic ex periment. "BEIBTHMWIIB. Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are aHarmless Substitute Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets—the sub stitute for calomel—are a mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the re sult of Dr. Edwards's determination not, to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. Sodo strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver.

If you feel that you wish to give your time and thought to caring for the afflicted, there is a vast op portunity at the present time. The need for nurses is urgent. My dear girl, no man worth his salt would have urged you to marry him under the circumstances. A real man sets to work and reforms him self. He doesn't run whining to a woman and ask her to undertake a task which Is beyond his powers. There Is another and very vital question, which apparently you have not considered —the children which might come to you. I think probably you will be stow more thought upon this sub ject if you will make a visit to the blind asylums and homes for con genital cripples and defectives, be fore giving him your final answer. Your parents are perfectly right, I hope, for your sake, they will con tinue to oppose this determination of yours, and that you, no matter what pain it may cause yourself and this young man, will be braVe enough and reasonable enough to acquiesce In their judgment.
