a cold wave will be upon him. He only
wonders what he is going to get. If all roads
once led to Rome, most Billiards come out
of the great Northwest. When Helena is ably
assisted by Bismarck, North Dakota, the
conjunction can accomplish much, and there
is certainly something doing. From the
union follows cold and wind, snow and tenn
pest. Not that in reality the two places are
answerable. Back of them, far back, is the
Saskatchewan, the center of much trouble,
and they being the first from which report
of the invading storm vandals of the North
is received, are held responsible.
Helena and Bismarck were settling down
to business. The time, early November,
was too soon for them to accomplish their
finest effects. They were in manner
merely tuning up for the winter. Still, the
blasts which had rushed swapping and
bowling over the land and water, reach
ing Lake Superior and raising its vast
surface in watery tunult, did more than
give promise of later triumphs.
For a day the cautionary device, the red
flag with the white center, had been dis
played at all the signal stations. Now
at Sau1t Sainte Marie another had taken
its place. Further admonition was fur

with more than wonder.
We'll the Waukegan's got just as bad name
as you have. She's spoiled the reputation of two
Captains. She's been laid up for five
months, because no one1l sail her. It's occurred to
that a couple of hoodoos like you and it might
sort of neutralize another-kind of act

into something good. Set thief to catch thief

Before he had finished Forbes was out of the
door. At the foot of the stairs leading down from
the Office he paused. The hall was small, narrow,
dark, and deserted. He drew the letter which he
had received from his pocket. Opening it, he
glimpsed at the limp bit of heritage resting upon
the incosed sheet of paper. Then shutting the
envelop he bent his head and kissed repeatedly
