Just drop them there, boys; they're
going to fix some kind OF a room
later"
Blair's long silk-lined coat lay on a
chair where no had flung 1t, his hat
beside II. and Ruggles went over to
the corner and lifted up fragrant
glove. 1t was one of Lefty Lanes
gloves which Dan had found in the
motor and taken possession OF. The
young man had gone TO his dressing
room and begun running his bath, and
Ruggles, laying the glove on the table,
said to himself:
Il knew he would get rid of the
duchess, all right
But when Dan came back Into the
breakfast, Ruggles said:
You'll have TO send her back her
glove, Dannie."
At the sight OF It beside the break
fast tray Dan blushed scarlet. He
picked up the fragrant object.
That's all right; I'll take care of
It,"

and eggs.
Same as ever"
Ruggles saw he had not returned in
vain. and that he was destined to take
up his part of the business Just as he
had laid 1t out for himself to Lord
Galorey. Its up to me now: I'll have
to take care of the actress. and I'm
darned II haven't got a job. IL Dan
colors up like that at the sight of
her glove, wonder what he does
when he holds her hand!"

Arthur Brisbane. the editor. praised
at dinner in New York the educa-

But, of course" he said afterwards,
"the moving picture will never equal
the newspaper as an educative force.
"The newspaper not only reports
news in dull seasons it makes news
as well. A famous editor put this
news-making feature very neatly be-
for cub reporter when he said:
IF dog bites man it isn't news.
But, if man bites dog. it is. When

HERD OFRELNDEER

landers take loan of deer for five
years from the government, and give
their services as instructors for that
period. At the end of five years the
Lapp returns the 100 deer and be-
comes an independent herder himself
with the large increase of reindeer he
has obtained from the herd. The Lapp
herders are not interested in the ex-
tension of the reindeer among the ma
tives. Some of the largest owners of
deer are Lapps, some half a dozen
or these men having accumulated
herds of from five to nearly eight hun
dred. In introducing the reindeer as
a means to promote the Industrial
life and to provide a permanent live
lihood for the Eskimo, it has been
found necessary by the government to
put the young natives through a
course of training. Those who get
their deer directly from the govern.
ment, serve an apprenticeship of five
years.

CHAPTER XXI.
RuQules Returns.

Dan did not fall asleep until
morning, and then he dreamed OF
Blairtown and the church and a sum-
mer evening and something like the
drone OF the flies on the window pane
soothed him, and came into his wax
ing thoughts. for at noon he was vio-
lently shaken by the shoulder and a
mans voice called him as he opened
his eyes and looked into Ruggles'
face.
Gee Whitaker" Ruggles ex-
claimed. You are one Of the seven
sleepers I've been here something
like seventeen minutes, whistling and
making all kinds of barnyard noises" ."
AS Dan welcomed him. rubbing the
sleep from his eyes. Ruggles told him
that he had come over the pond"
just for the wedding.
There isn't going to be any we'd
ding. Josh! Got out of all that last
night"
Ruggles had the breakfast card in
his hand, which the waiter had
brought in, and Dan, taking it from
his friend. ordered big breakfast.
I'm as hungry as the dickens, Rug,
and ! guess YOU are, too"
What was the matter with the
duchess?" Ruggles asked. Were you
too young for her, or not rich
enough?"
Significantly the boy answered.:
"One too many, JOSH" and Ruggles
WINGED at the response.
Here are the fellows with my
trunks and things" he announced as
the porters came in with his luggage.

His Comiro Out.

A fond Chicago mother is to give a
coming-out party for her son. or
course, We have no means of know
ing the youth. but We fancy he must
be exactly that kind OF son--and we
await with bated anxiety a full de-
scription of his coming-out costume.
What will be done with the gentle
youth after this severe social ordeal
isn't stated, but it can be believed
that he is to be rushed around to all
sorts Of society functions-and. OF
course, carefully guarded against the
matrimonial designs OF fortune-hunt-
ing females.

Mark to DESIGNATE.

In the ear OF each government deer
little aluminium button is fastened
securely, and all private owners and
herders have a mark which must be
registered with the local superinten-
dent OF the reindeer station and also
at Washington. Besides being taught
the art of deermanship, the apprea-
tices are instructed In keeping ac-
counts, the methods Of marketing rein
deer, and in other practical matters
connected with the industry. No ap-
prentice can become a herder unless
he is proficient in the branches of ele-
mentary reading. arithmetic and writ
ing. At the end of his apprenticeship
the young Eskimo native is allotted a
number of deer by the government,
and with the increase obtained during
the interval OF his five years service.
each apprentice will have, on an aver
age. herd of 80 reindeer.
three years, the graduate apprentice
will have a herd which will afford and
assure a self-supporting income quite
enough to satisfy the economic wants
OF himself and family in the future.
He is thus established in business by
the government and is given free pas
turage thereafter. The reindeer pro-
duces one fawn in the spring each
year for 10 years. Among the useful
and profitable products of the reindeer
are the skins for clothing. or these
pelts most varied use is made From
them are fashioned the tight.fitting
trousers and that wonderful outer gar
ment. the 'parka." universally worn in
winter by both male and female ma
tives and by many whites. The "parka"
extends to the knees and has a close
fitting hood, which keeps the head and
shoulders comfortably warm even in
the severest weather. These reindeer
garments are remarkable for their ex-
cellent qualities OF resisting moisture
and cold A close examination OF the
hair of the reindeer furnishes an ex-
planation of its peculiar value. The
hair is not merely a hollow tubular
structure; with cavity extending
throughout its entire length. but is di-
vided, or partitioned off, into exceed
ingly numerous cells, like watertight
compartments. These are filed with
air and their walls are so elastic and

tance that they are not broken up eth
er during the process of manufacture
or by swelling when wet. The cells
expand in water and thus it happens
that a person completely in garments
made OF reindeer wool does not sink
when in water, because he is buoyed
up by the air contained in the hun.
dreds of thousands OF hair cells. AS
the mineral industry continues to
grow in Alaska the natives and gradu-
ate apprentices can earn high wages

For Gods sake!" he heard her
murmur, and she impatiently drew
her cloak around her shoulders. Po-
niotowsky put out his hand to help
her, but she drew back from him, eX-
claiming violently: "Oh, no-no!" Be-
fore he was aware what he was doing,
Dan was holding his hand out to Miss

dreams! How she took in one cold

needs to lead him to offer the serv-
ice Of his life. Her hand was icy--it
thrilled him TO his marrow.
"Oh-you-" she breathed. Hello"
No words could have been more
commonplace, less in the category of
dramatic or poetic welcome. but they
were music to the boy, and when the
actress looked at him with a ghost of
a smile on her trembling lips, Dan was
sure there was some kind Of blessing
in the greeting.
II am going to see you home" he
said with determination, and she
caught at It:
Yes, yes, do! VIII you?"
The third member of the party had
not spoken. A servant fetched him
u light TO which he bent, touching his
cigar. Then he lifted his head-a
handsome one-with it's cold and in
different eyes, to Lefty Lane.
Good night, Miss Lane" A deep
color crept under his dark skin.
Come" said the actress eagerly.
