CHAPTER II.

She stood there on the foe confront.

widened. What in the world" he,

less.
She was clad, down to the knees, in
sealskin, and below its edge he could
see the tops of her small fur-trimmed
boots. Upon her head she wore a
little turban-like cap of seal. The
smartly tailored lines of the coat en-
phasized her young slenderness. Her
bootmaker must have had a reputa-
ton upon some metropolitan boule-
ward, and her head-gear came clearly
under the category of what Is known
as modes. Her eyes were very blue
and her hair was golden, warmed, he
thought, as she stood there In the
orange twilight, with CLINT of red.
Cayley gasped again, as he took in
the details of this vision. Then col
lected himself IL beg your pardon"
he stammered 81 don't mean to be

She shook her head little impa-

clear them of vision. "Of course"

there, above the fog waiting for 1t to
lift again the veil OF mystery which
it had drawn across the tragic scene
he had Just witnessed.
The month was August, and the
long arctic day had already begun TO
know its dlurnal twilight. A fort
night ago the sun had dipped, for the
first time, below the horizon. BY now
there were four or Ave hours, out of
every 25, that would pass for night.
The sun set while he hung there in
the air, and as 1t did so, with new
slant of the breeze the fog rolled itself
up into a great violet-colored cloud,
leaving the earth, the ice, the sea un.
yelled below him. And there, In the
open water Of the little bay, he saw a
ship, and on the shore cluster OF
rude huts.
It struck him, even from the height
at which he scared, that the ship. tied
to an ice-fioe in the shelter of the
great headland, did not look like q
whaler nor like the sort Of craft
which an arctic explorer would have
selected for his purposes 1t had more
the trim smartness of a yacht.
They were probably all asleep down
there, he reflected. 1t was nearly mid
night and he saw no signs Of life any,
where. He would drop down for q
nearer look.
He descended. with a sudden hawk.
like pounce, which was one of his
more recent achievements in the navi-
cation Of the air, checked himself
again at about the level Of the mast
head, with a flashing, forward swoop,
like a man diving In shallow water;
then, with a sudden effort. brought
himself up standing, his planes nearly
vertical, and, with backward spring,
alighted, clear Of his wings, on the ice
foe Just opposite the ship.
AS he did so, he heard little sur
prised cry, half Of fear. half Of aston.
ishment. 1t was girls voice.

A conscientious, Woodworking and

glad to bear testimony to the pleasure
and increased measure of efficiency
and health that ave come to me from

suit was surprising In improved health
and total absence of the distress that
had, for so long a time, followed the
morning meal.
MY digestion became once more
satisfactory, the headaches ceased, and
the old feeling of energy returned
Since that time I have always had
Grape-Nuts food on my breakfast

Il was delighted to find also, that

marked improvement In this respect
resulted from the change in my diet.
Il am convinced that Grape-Nuts
food produced this result and helped

ON WORRYING

Worry is a disease. In fact, it II
ofttimes associated with a physica
disorder of some kind. The inclina
ton to worry over trifles is universal
Some people have acquired the worry
habit. 1t sticks to them like an ad'
hesive plaster. Their first mental eff.
forts on rising each day is to seek
out some unpleasant subject to wor-
ry about. One can readily imagine
the disappointment that would ensue
should person of this character find
nothing to worry about. But, this
would be an unusual sensation, for
one can always find something to
worry about. If not misfortune
Of yesterday, then one of the day be-
fore-if not of this year, then of last
year. If you are victim of the wor-
ry habit, you are uselessly wasting
valuable energies. Rest assured that
life will be of little value to you or
to anyone else.
Physical exercise is of invaluable
assistance in this respect. When
you find, for instance, that you can
not possibly avoid worrying, then
Immediately find some means of &C
lively using the muscles of your body.
Take long walk, or play some game
in the open air that will keep you
continuously and pleasantly occupied.
If this is difficult or impossible, take
some exercise in your room. Work
persistently and vigorously until the
blood is bounding through your art
cries, until you feel the pulsation of
new life stirring your entire physical
organism. R alize the tremendous
possibilities in life and stop wasting
your time with trifling grievances.
You must remember that worries are
never important, Notwithstanding the
value they may seem to assume In
your life. Their only importance is
the power they have for harm, and
If their power is evil then by all
means they should be recognized as
evil, and every effort sho Id be made
to stamp them out Of your life. You
can rest assured that the exercises
taken as worry cure will accom-
plish the desired purpose If they are
given your entire attention, and use
all the muscles of your body and
vigorously arouse the activity of
your lungs and heart.-From Physi-
cal Culture for October.

She had been left a great fortune,

And all because the poor child was

was all wrong, of course, but it gives
one glimpse of the temptations that
come to girls who have little of self

think the possession of money will
invite 1t.
One would hardly think it we're
true If 1t came from a less reliable
source, but Miss Adams tells us. that
there are multitudes Of working girls
who 4for hours carry hair ribbons and

wear them only during the journey

schooled ina hard life, went every
penny the girls earn, and SO a little

finery, hidden ON watchful eyes

All of which goes to show that
youth cannot be robbed of it's right
to live normal life, even in the mat
ter of dress, without flinching under
tt test. Girls who are brave and
true, finch and go ON; those loyal
and firm, finch and 60 under.

recreation centers? And doesn't it
show the immense amount of good

1 Never Knew

I never knew that art required
To fry an egg;
And it has always made me tired
To find a dreg
Within my mornings coffee cup;
And l have spurned
My breakfast toast, If l got up
To find it turned.
l never knew how much of art
1t takes to broil
A beafsteak to delight the heart
And not to spoil
The luscious flavor of the meat;
And German fried
Potatoes seemed a simple feat
Until l tried.
/ never knew the great finesse
A cook must show;
/ never even tried to guess,
But now / know.
For while my wife has been away
ran the shack
And did the cooking! Hip! Hooray
She's coming back!
And never more I'll make complain
Ii toast Is burned
And coffee seems to have faint;
For l have learned
BY sad experience, and rude
And bitter smart,
That even cooking breakfast food
Is quite an art.-Exchange.

Big Issue Of Maps

The American Northwest must be-
come better known than the Canadian
Northwest and people Of the United
States thinking of the northwest must
come to recognize the states of Min
nesota, North and South Dakota,
Montana, Washington, Idaho and
Oregon.
On this theory the Northwestern
Development league will publish
shortly an official map of the Ameri-
can Northwest and will place the map
officially in half a million school
rooms. The first run of the printer
will be one million copies, half of
which will be placed in public school
rooms. Secretary Campbell of the
league estimates that it will take two
years to place the maps and that the
advertising will be worth one humid

Is months after they placed.

ONEIL BANK FAILURE DIREC.
TORS BEING ARRESTED
IN MANY STATES

Wallace, Oct. 4.-When every d.
rector of the defunct State band Of
Commerce within reach of Wallace
was placed under arrest today, the
mystery surrounding the 1S indict.
mcnts returned % the grand jury
here yestel day was largely clarified
Tonight all but two of the eight d.
rectors have been advised of the &C.
ton of the grand jury. Tomorrow
all but these two, B. F. O'Neil and
Ewing Mcintosh, will probably have
been placed under bonds. These
bonds will range from $4,000 up. Ef-
forts to locate President O'Ncil in
Vancouver, B. c., had proven futile
up till late hour last evening. Mr..
Mcintosh is in Florida and no effort
Is being made to arrest him.
Respond to Sheriff's Call
Stanley Easton of Kellogg, mana
ger of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
Mining company, was the first to re-
spond to the sheriff's call this morn
ing. He came into court early. His
bond was fixed at $4,000 which he
furnished. Later in the morning
John Nordquist furnished like
bond. G. Scott Anderson was unable
to furnish $4,000 today and was CIV
en- until 10 O'Clock tomorrow to raise
the money. ,,,,g,SS.,
Harry L. Day and Eugene r. Day
were out of the city today but were
notified in Spokane and Portland.
Harry Day reached Wallace tonight.
His brother is on his way from the
coast.
Edgar S. Wyman. the cashier of
the closed bank, was arrested by
Portland police late this evening. He
is being held in custody there pend
ing the arrangement of $4,000 bond
here. It is understood a local bond
ing agency will go his security.
Nature of Indictments Secret
The nature of the indictments
brought against these men is still
being held Sc ret pending the arrest
of the entire number. The papers
on each charge, it is explained, are
drawn to include up to eight names.
That number of the men have been
held on variety of charges is a GER
tainty. Il
Cannot Locate O'NeiI
Friends # Mr.. O'Neil have said |
here recently that he would return |
to Wallace without extradition pa
ers, but the failure to arrest him to-
day makes it appear that he is at
tempting to avoid the officers. 1t is
generally assumed that the officials
make every effort to effect his ex-
tradition.
These sensational arrests have been
the one topic of conversation on the
streets of Wallace today.
County Attorney James A. Wayne
stated today that he believed these
cases would come to trial at this
term of court. probably early in No.
vember.
