—— The ' Yukon Trail By William MacLeod Ralne J (Continued) CHAPTER XXIV Tlio news of Sheba's safety had been telephoned to Diane from the roadhouse. so that all the family from Peter down were on the porch to welcome ho rwitli mingled tears and kissesi Since Gordon had to push on to the hospital to have ltolt taken care of, it was Macdonald who brought the girl home. The mine owner declined ratiier brusquely an invitation to stay to dinner on the plea that he had business at the office which would not wait. Impulsively Sheba held out both her hands to him. "Believe me, I am thanking you with the whole of my heart, my fiend. And I'm praying for you the old Irish bless ing. 'God save you kindly'." The deep-so' rapacious eyes of the Scotsman burned into hers for an instant. Without a word he re leased her hands and turned away. Her eyes followed him a vital dynamic American who would do big, lawless things to the day of his death She sighed. He hitd been a great figure in her life, and now he had passed out of it. As soon as she was alone with Di ane, her Irish cousin dropped the little bomb she had lip her sleeve. "I'm going to be married Thurs day, Di."

She was very fond of Sheba, and she had been on a' great strain concerning her safety. That out of her dan ger had resulted the engagement Diane had hoped for was surplusage, of good luck. "You lucky, sensible girl." Sheba assented demurely. "I do think I'm sensible as well as lucky. It isn't every girl that knows the right man for her even when ha wants her. But I know at last. He's the man for me out of ten million. "I'm sure of it, dear. Oh, I am so glad." Diane hugged her again. She couldn't help it. "One gets to know a man pretty well on a trip like that. I wouldn't change mine for any one that was ever made. I like everything about him, Di. lam the haopiest girl." "I'm so glad you see it that way at last." Diane passed to the prac tical aspect of the situation. "But Thursday. Will that give us time, my dear? And who are you going to have here?" "Just the familv. I've invited two guests, but neither of them can come. One has a broken leg'and the other says ho doesn't want to see me married to another man," Sheba explained with a smile. "So Gordon won't come." "Yes, He'll have to be here. We can't get along without the bride groom It wouldn't be a legal mar riage would it?" Diane 'ooked at her, for the moment dumb. "You little wretch!" she got out at last. "So it's Gordon, is it? Are you quite sure this time? Not likely to change your mind be fore Thursday?" "I suppose, to an outsider, I do seem fickle," Miss O'Neill admitted smilingly. "But Gordon and I both understand that.'" "And Colby Macdonald—does he understand it too?" "Oh yes." Her smile grew broader. "He told me that he didn't think I would quite suit him, after all. Not enough experience for the place." Diane flashed a suspicious look of inquiry. "Of course that's nonsense. What did he tell you?" "Something like that. He will marry Sirs. Mallory, I think, though he doesn't know it yet." "You mean she will get him.on the rebourd," said Diane bluntly. "That isn't a nice way to put it. H has always liked her very much. A COUGH^ He is fond of her for what she is. What attracted him in me v/ere the things" his imagination gave to me." "And Gordon likes you. I suppose, for what you are?" Sheba did not resent the little note of friendly sarcasm. '"I suppose he has his fancies about me, too, but by the time he finds out what I am he'll have to put up with me." The arrival of Elliot interrupted confidences. He had come, he said, to receive congratulations. "What in the world have you been doing with your face?" de manded Diane As an afterthought she added: "Mr. Macdonald is all cut up too." "We've been taking massage treatment." Gordon passed to a subject of more immediate inter est. "Do I get my congratulations, Di?" She kissed him, too, for old sake's sake. "I do believe you'll suit Sheba better than Colby Mac donald would. He's a great man and you are not. But it isn't every body that is fit to be the wife of a great man." "That's a double, left-handed compliment," laughed Gordon. "But you can't say anything that will hurt my feelings to-day, Di. Isn't that your baby T hear crying? What a heartless mother you are!" Diane gave him the few minutes alone with Sheba that his gay smile had asked for. "Get out with you," she said laughing. "Go to the top of the hill and look at the lovers' moon I've ordered there expressly for you; and while you are there forget that there are going to be crying babies and nursemaids with evenings out in that golden future of yours."

The world for them to-niglit divided itself into two classes. One included Sheba O'Neill and Gordon Elliot; the other took in the uninteresting remnant of humanity.

They talked—as lovers will to the end of time —in exclamations and the meeting of eyes and little endearments. When Diana and Peter found them on the hillside, Sheba pro tested, with her half-shy, half audacious smile, that it could not be two hours since she aiid Gordon had left the living room. Peter grinned. He remembered a hilltop conse crated to his own courtship of Diane. The only wedding present that Macdonald sent Sheba was a long envelope with two documents at tached by a clip One was from the Kusiak Sun. It announced that the search party hac, found the body of Northrup with the rest of the stolen gold beside him. The other was a copV of a legal document. Its effect was that the district attorney had dismissed all charges pending against Gordon Fillet. *" Although Macdonald lost the coal claims at Kamatlah by reason of the report of Elliot, all Alaska still be lieves that he was right. In that country of strong men he stands head and shoulders above his fel- ] lows, lie has the fortunate gift of commanding the admiration of friend anel foe alike. The lady who ! is his wife is secretly the greatest of his slaves, but she tries not to let him know how much he has cap-! tured her imagination. For Gene vieve Macdonald cannot quite un- ! derstand herself, how so elemental j an emotion as love can have pierced the armor of her sophistication. (THE END) FIVE BELOW ZERO TIESJJP TRAFFIC [Continued from First Page.] 16 below in Detroit. When this wave gets by warmer weather will prevail. High Wind Velocity A wind of high velocity and per sistence, along with the zero tem perature, is responsible for demoral ization in railway and trolley sched ules. At 10 o'clock this morning the Harrisburg Railways Company could not handle any traffic to Riverside, Rockville, Pcnbrook, Linglestown or Hummelstown. They were able to get as far as Ann street on the Mid dletown line. At that hour the fore man of the gang of workmen who were operating at Linglestown tele phoned that there was no use work ing because the wind blew the snow back as fast as they cleaned it off. Lines of the Valley Railways Company were blown shut in every section and there was little traffic until late in the morning. James Senseman, traffic superintendent of the company, said that the New Cumberland line . was open; White Hill line as far as Armstrong street., Lemoyne; Camp Hill to Erlington, and Enola line as far as the round house. Train Service Paralyzed Company officials were able to get .Ixty students at the Carl{sle Indian School to shovel the Carlisle line out. They will start work at Car lisle and work toward Meclianlcs burg. A squad of men is working in this vicinity. Mr. Senseman said the snow was very heavy and that the sweeper was of no use. It is necessary to shovel the snow, the official said. The Philadelphia and . Reading railway service was interrupted to some extent. One train was annulled, the Reading train which leaves at 6.15. The New York train which leaves here at 7.55 did not get away until 9.15, but after that the tracks began to open up. The Pennsylvania railroad had three trains stalled last night and to-day the situation was not prom ising. Conditions are worse on the Middle division than on the Phila delphia. It was with difficulty that trains were operated at all on the Cumber laiyl Valley. Deep drifts made it all but impossible for trains to get through and schedules vertually were, abandoned. The coldest day of the year was registered last month when the mer cury went down to seven below. Pick and shovel were necessary to-day to dig out the stalled cars of the Harrisburg Traction Com pany. The big snow sweepers were practically useless. Heroic efforts were made on the Linglestown line to get cars going. About thirty citi zens were coaxed Into service and three gangs simultaneously set to work. One crowd operated from Twentieth street and State to Pro gress; another pried out the stalled cars between Progress and Lingles town. A third gang shovelled near town. At the bend of the line near Charlton one car obstinately refused to be budged. It has been stuck there since yesterday morning. Be time. The Highway Commissioner has done a good deal in strengthen ing his lines in these directions." tween Penbrook and Progress two were jamed tight. Not a car has reached Riverside since Sunday evening. On the Hummelstown line two cars and a sweeper are in chancery between Paxtang and the Beaver subway. The line is open, however, to Paxtang. On the Rockville circuit a car has been snowed under since yesterday morning and at Enhaut, on the Oberlin line there is the same situa tion. Gangs of men are working all along the track from Steelton 1o Oberlin and it is expected this line will be opened by to-night. Meantime many motormen and conductors are working night and day in the car shops helping to re pair the forty-odd cars which have been put out of commission by the weather and snow.

Helen and Warren had planned long before the holidays not to give presents to each other. This com mon agreement had conio about through long discussion, and had finally been decided upon only be cause Helen had said that inasmuch as they had so many people to re member at that time of tl,\j year, they might save any amount they had planned to spend on each other, and spend it some time later when there was not such a demand upon the common pocljetbook. In spite of the fact that Helen had really meant this when she had suggested it, she had hoped against hope that Warren would ignore it when the time came. She had said to herself many times, "Warren will surprise me, 1 just know he will." and when Christmas had come and gone, and there had been no present from Warren, Helen had been ter libly disappointed. Then had come the unfortunate experience in the rain, and Helen had taken ti terrilic cold. All through that awful tini.e Warren had been more than considerate. His usual, irascible self had been temporarily buried, and his one thought bad been to make Helen happy.' Helen hardly knew him, and she determincel that if ever she were able to once more face the world she would make it up to him. For Helen was really seriously ill, and she had stayed in bed for the greater part of a week with a nasty fever, and with pains in every part of lier body. When she had finally struggled to take her usual position in the household she had told Warren one evening that he had been a darl ing. "Why, Warren, you saw to every thing. I Just had to lie there and let you arrange things for me, and I knew I was horribly cross." Warren, proud of being told that he had come through the trying time with flying colors, smiled and saiel that it was the least he could do; but Helen knew that he had exerted himself, and she determined to do something to make up for it. All during her convalescence she tried to determine just what it would be. and she linally decided upon a gift brought out of some housekeeping money that she hael saved. There were'about seventeen dol lars put away in a pastboard box, which she had bored a hole through and which served beautifully as a bank, and she had saved in addition to that eleven dollars since her ill ness. "That makes thirty-one," she said reflectively one warmish day when the sun was shining and Helen, with her strength returned, had planned to shop. "That much ought to buy something really nice. Why, I know what it will be, a set of full dress studs and cuff links. Warren has always made those cheap studs do, and has worn his gold suff links. He will appreciate a gift like that more than anything else." All during her trip downtown, Helen imbued with the idea, could hardly wait to invest her money. When she finally found herself pos sessed with a pair of pearl and gold cuff links at eighteen dollars and a set of studs at eleven, she was utterly, blissfully happy. "Warren, dear," she said that night at dinner, "there's a surprise at your plate. "A surprise, what's all this?" said Warren, discovering, suddenly a tiny white box. half hidden under his napkin. "Open it and see if you like it," Helen said excitedly.' "Well, well,"" said Warren, tak ing up the box, "what does this mean? Why should I have a sur prise?" "Just because I wanted to give you one." Warren had slipped the box out of its tissue wrappings and had rINt t-UK kiilAlMl Musterole Loosens Up Those Stiff Joints—Drives Out Pain You'll know why thousands use Musterole once you experience the glad relief it gives.

"But generally a lack of phosphorus shows itself in a lack of general in terest and people are often thought to be lazy whereas they are only nerve-starved. For months or years they go on using a little more phos phorus than the system produces till their store is exhausted and complete nervous breakdown is close at hand. Both mind and body are affected.

It is dangerous and need less to run into such a condition, for if taken In time the supply of phos phorus can be replenished. Two five grain tablets of phosphorated malt after each meal for ten days will usually be all that is necessary. "I have seen phosphorated malt produce astonishing results in a very short tlnfe.
