Ten minutes later they swung over
the river-bank and into the midst of
great rambling frame buildings, seen
dimly through the falling snow. Their
trail led them to a high-banked cabin,
from the stovepipe of which they saw
heat-waves pouring, The dogs broke
into cry. and were answered by many
others conjured from their hiding
places. Both men were greatly dis

themselves only with difficulty. An

made for the house. A travellers first
concern is for his dogs, then for his
bedding.
Before he could reach the cabin the
door opened and Fraser appeared, a
strange, dazed look on his face. He
was followed by a large man of coarse
and sullen countenance, who paused on
the threshold,

The traveller, however. paid no heed
to these words. but pushed forward,
shifting the bundle to his shoulder and
holding it so that it was thrust into
the Swede's face. InvoluntarilY the
Waterman drew back. whereupon the
unwelcome visitor crowded past, iost-

laughing the while, although in his
laughter there rang a dangerous me-
taIlic note. Emerson's quick action
gained him entrance and Fraser fol-
lowed behind into the llving-room,

down his burden and addressed her

An Itching Scalp.

Dear Margery Doom:
NV hair is falling out very badly n
often my scalp itches. Some people
say kerosene oil is very good for 1t and
others say alcohol. Which do you sug-
gest? A GIRL.
Neither. Kerosene has been known to
work wonders, but 1t needs to be used
very carefully, else 1t will inture the
skin. When used, 1t should be dropped
from a medicine dropper, a speck at a
time, and rubbed in thoroughly. Al
cohol Is too drying. You need thorough
scalp massage to increase tho circula-
ton and stimulate the hair roots
Have it done by a scalp specialist until
you have learned the correct move
ments yourself. Shampoo your hair
every three or four weeks with plenty
of hot water and tlncture Of green
SOAP. Here is an excellent tonic: Qui-
nine sulphur, twenty grains; tincture
cantharides, two huid drains; fluid ex-
tract jaborandi. WI fluid drains; alco-
hol, W fluid ounces; glycerine, two
ounces; bay rum, six fluid ounces;
rose water, sixten fluid ounces. The
quinine should be dissolved in the al
cohol liquids by warming slightly, then
the other ingredients added, and the
whole filtered. Rub into the hair roots
every night after brushing 1t thor
oughly.

end of the sled, and seeking out the
sheath-knife from beneath his parka,
cut the harness of the two distressed
animals. Once free, they 10
safety, shook themselves and rolled In
the dry snow.
Emerson next attempted to lift the
nose of the sled up on the ice. shouting
at the remainder of the team to pull,
but they only wagged their tails and
whined excitedly at this unusual form
of entertainment. Each time he tried
to lift the sled he crashed through
fresh ice, finally bearing the next pair
of dogs with him, and then the two
animals In the lead, All of them be-
came hopelessly e%ntangled.
He could have won his way back to
the permanent ice, as Fraser was 40
ing, but there was no way of getting
his team there, and he would not sacri-
flee those dumb brutes, now growing
frantic. One of them paved the
sheathknife from his hand. He had
become almost numb with cold and
despair, when he heard the jingle OF
many small bells, and a sharp COM
mand uttered In a new voice.
Out of the snow fog from the direc-
ton In which they were headed broke
a team running full and free. At a
word they veered to the right end
anne to a pause, avoiding the danger
spot. Even from his hasty glance
Emerson marveled at the outfit, having
never seen the like in all his travels
through the North, for each animal of
the twelve stood hip-high to a tall
man, and they were like wolves of one
pack, gray and gaunt and wicked. The
basket-sled behind them was long and
light, and OF a design that was new to
him. while the furs in II were of white

"Whew!" he exclaimed, this Is sure
tough. If I don't see a tree or some
thing with enough color to bust this
monotony I'll go dotty."
Another day like this and we'd both
be snowblind,' observed Emerson grim
ly, as he bent to his task. But it
can't be far to the river now"
This fall has covered the trail till I
have to feel it out with my feet"
grumbled Fraser. when I step off to
one side l go in up to my lips. It's
like walking a plank a foot deep In
feathers, and l feel like I was a mile
above the earth in a heavy fog After
a moment he continued: Speaking of
feathers, how'd you like to have a fried
chicken a la Maryland?"
Shut up!" said the man at the dogs,
GROSSLY.
"Well, 1t dent do any harm to think
about it," growled Fraser, good-na-
turedly. He felt out a pipe from his
pocket and endeavored unsuccessfully
to blow through it. then complained:
THE damn thing is froze. 1t seems
like a man can't practise no vices
whatever In this country. I'm glad I'm
getting out of 1t.
80 am l." agreed the younger man.
Having completed his task, he came
back to the sled and seated himself
beside the other.
"As l was saying a mile back yon-

rising. gazed c%uriously at the ~listless

panion. feeling anew the curiosity that
had fretted him for the past three
weeks. Finally he observed, with q

"Well, If you amt one of us. you'd

tered. wall. You amt had a real ex-
preston on it since you hauled me off

He swung ahead of the dogs; they
rose reluctantly. and with a crack OF
the whip the little caravan crawied
noiselessly into the era twilight.

TT is hard for us to realize that in far-away Japan,
the name of which country spells to our imagination
only an endle SIS vista of dancing sunlight, blossom
laden cherry trees and gaily-costuned, care-free natives,
they are threshin 6 out the very problems over which
our own people, both men and women, have for some
years been engag ed in frenzied debate.
In the Japan Magazine, which is owned and pub
lshed in Tokyo by brilliant Japanese men, l came across
an article written by a mother-in-law, complaining as to
the ways of the u ew-fangled young married woman in
much the same Language and from the same viewpoint
as any conservativ We American in discussing the same
subject would ad opt.
