/ TACT SECRET OF POPULARITY.


If the girl who wants to be popular
had to choose between beauty and tact
could have but one, she had better
choose tact. The ability TO say the
right thing at the right time, and the
ever greater ability of not saying any
thing at all al the right time. is an
attainment-very greatly to be desired.
The general impression is hat tact.
like talent, is BORN with one. That
may be true in some cases. but every
one can acquire II. The tactless per-
son, one who is so s~elf-centred and
utterly careless of other peoples feel
ings that she never considers anyone
else, is always saying what "I' feel
like saying, and what IT feel like
doing, in all things ~disregarding others.
Tact is the thoughtfulness and the
kindness which ONE of a kindly
spirit. We often excuse the tactless
person by saying ut is just her way"
| That is a very bad excuse, however,
and the mother who sees one of her
children developing -tactless ways
should never use UGH an excuse, but
teach the child that to claim any
privilege simply because at Is my
way is selishness pure and simple.

tains off there, M'seur," he said. do
you see that black forest that looks
like a charred log in the snow to the
south n west of the mountains? That
is the break hat leads into the coun-
try OF the A~tnabasca. Somewhere be-
tween this point and that we will strike
the trail. Mon Dieu, I had half ex-
pected to see them out there on the
plain"
Who? Meleese and Jackpine, Or

IF they are ahead of US you might
just as well stand out there and let
me put a bullet through you, M'seur."
He Went TO the head of the dogs,
guiding them down the rough side Of
the ridge, while Rowland steadied the
~toboggan from behind. For three
quarters of al hour they traversed the
low bush Of the plain in silence. From
every rising snow hummock Jean
scanned the white d~esolation about
them. n each time. as nothing that
was human came within his vision, he
turned toward the engineer with a sin-
lister shrug of his shoulders. Once
three moving caribou, a mile or more
away. brought a quick cry TO his
lips and Rowland noticed that q aud

face. replaced in the next instant by q

and the team stopped.

he cried. pointing 10 the STOW. What
do you think of that??"
Barely cutting into the edge OF the
open was the broker crust OF two
sledge trails. For a moment Rowland
forgot his caution and bent over to
anime the trails, with his back TO his
companion When he looked up there
was a curious CLEAN in Jeans eyes.

Croisset had fallen on his knees in
the trail.
''rhe crust is freshly broken he said
after a moment They have been gone
not less than two or three hours, per-
haps since morning. See this white
g%listening surface over the first trail.
M'seur, like a billion needle-points
growing out of it? That is the work
OF three or our days cold. The first

Rowland turned and picked up Crois-
sets rifle. The Frenehman watched
him as he slipped a clip full Of cart
ridges into the breech.

tcontinucd From Yesterday.>


For the second time since coming in
to the North he felt the blood leaping
through his veins as on that first night
in Prince Albert, when from the noun
tain he a heard the lone wolf, and
when later he had seen the beautiful
face through the hotel window. How
land was one of the few men who pos
! sess unbounded confidence in them
selves, who place a certain pride in
their physical as well as their menta
capabilities, and he was confident now.
His successful and indomitable fight
over obstacles in a big city had made
this confidence a genuine part of his
being. 1t was a confidence that flushed
his face with joyous enthusiasm as he
ran after the dogs, and that aston
ished and puzzled Jean Croisset.
Mon Dieu. but o are a strange
mani exclaimed the Frenchman when
he brought the dogs down to a walk
after a half-mile run. Blessed saints,
M'seur. you are laughilg-and | swear
II is no laughing matter"
Shouldn't a man be happy yhen he
is going to his wedding, Jean?" pulled
Rowland, gasring TO get back the
breath he had lost.
But not when he's going to his
funeral, M'seur,"
"If l were one of your blessed saints
I'd hit you over the head with a thun-
derbolt, Croisset. Good Lord, what sort
of q heart ave you got inside of your
jacket, man? Up there where we're go
ing is the sweetest little girl in the
whole world. I love her. She loves me.
Why shouldn't l he happy, now that I
know I'm going to see her again very
soon-and take her back into the South
with me?''
The DEVIL" grunted Jean.
Perhaps you're jealous, Croisset,"
suggested Rowland. Great Scott, l
hadn't thought Of that
i've got one of my own TO love,
M'seur; n l wouldn't trade her for
all else in the world
Damned If | can understand you,'
swore the engineer. you appea to be
half human; you say you're in love,
and yet you'd rather risk your life than
help out Meleese and me. What the
deuce does il mean"
That's what I'm doing, M'sieur-

you back there on the trail and
stripped FOUR body for those things
that would be foul enough to eat it.
l have told you a dozen times that it
is Gods justice that you die. And you
are going to die-very soon, Mseur."
mo. I'm not going to die Jean. I'm
going to see Meleese, and she's going
back into the South with me. And If
you're real good o may have the
pleasure of driving us back to the
Wekusko, Croisset, and you "a be my
best man at the wedding. What do
you say TO that?'
THAT you are mad-or a fool re-
torted Jean, cracking his whip viciously.
The dogs swung sharply from the
trail, heading from their s%outherly
course into the northwest.
1--WE win save a day by doing this"
explained Croisset at the others sharp
word of inquiry. we will hit the
other trail twenty miles west of here.
while by following back to where they
turned are would travel sixty miles to
reach the same point. That one chance
in a hundred which you have depends
