pans together, packed his grub-box
and rolled up his bed. When the sled
was dashed and the complaining dogs
harnessed he returned to the cabin
for his mittens.
"Good-by, Tess" he said, standing
at the open door.
She turned on him, struggling for
speech, but too frantic to word the
passion that burned In her.
"Good-by, Tess he repeated gently.
"Beast," she managed to articulate.
She turned and tottered to the bunk,
finging herself face down upon 1t,

John Messner closed the door softly
behind him, and, as he started the
dogs. looked back at the cabin with
great relief in his face. At the bot

the sack of gold out between the lash

Already new skin of ice had formed
This he broke with his INST. Untyine
the knotted mouth with his teeth, he
emntied the contents of the sack into

that point, and two feet beneath the
surface he could see the bottom dull
yellow in the fading light. At the
sight of it, he spat into the hole.
He started the dogs along the Yu-
kon trail. whining spiritlessly, they
were reluctant to work. Clinging t

with his left rubbing cheeks and nose
he stumbled over the rope as the dogs
swung on q bend.

but on their feet eagerly waited his
return. He came back to them, took
a hauling rope from the front of the
sled and put 1t around his shoulders.
Then he gee'd the dogs to the right
and put them ut the bank on the run.
They cleared the bank with a rush,

sled and took possession. Messner set
up his light sheet-iron stove and
started a fire.
| While waiting for the water to boil
he held his face over the stove. The
moisture from his breath had col

great mass of ice, and this he pro-

He heard the wolfish snarling ano

Come in" Messner called.
The door opened, and. gazing out
of his cloud OF steam he saw a man
and a woman pausing on the thres-

Come in he said peremptorily,

unfurnished state of the room. 1--WE

At the sound of his voice the woman
peered at him with quick curious

Removing his utensils from the
stove, SO as to give the newcomers
chance to cook, he proceeded to
take his meal from the top of his
grub-box, himself sitting on his bed
roll. Between mouthfuls he talked
trail and dogs to the man, who, with
head over the stove, was thawing the
ice from his mustaohe. There were
two hunks in the cabin, and into one
of them, when he had cleared his lip,
the stranger tossed his bed-roll.
"We'll sleep here" he said, "unless
you prefer this bunk. You're the first
conner and you have first choice, you
know"
That's all right" Messner an

by Delegate Henry Lohse, of the

meeting of the Essex Trades Council

of the order, Mr.. Lohse declared that
the committee had acted very unfair
ly toward organized labor when it
awarded the contract for the electri-
cal fixtures to the Newark Nickel
Plating Company, non-union con-
cern.S He stated that the committee
had shown very little American spirit
and that he was thoroughly disguised
with the proposition.
Mr.. Lohse added that his organi-
cation would endeavor to organize the
shop, and If this was not accom-
plished by next Monday some action
would be taken in the matter When
asked what action would be taken,
Mr.. Lohse stated that 1t had not as
yet been decided.
"Womens hands are not as clean
and skilled as mems, carry more dis
ease and are more unsanitary than
the hands of the other SEX" was the
way Delegate John F. Fallon. of the
Butcher Workmen's Union expressed
himself when protesting against the
employment of six girls by a local
wholesale meat concern. President
Henry Hebeler, at the conclusion of
Mr.. Fallon's remarks, Immediately in
structed him to apologize for his re-
marks which he considered uncom-
plimentary to the women delegates
and the sex in general. One of the
women delegates present at the meet
ing told President Hebeler that she
did not care for an apology from the
delegate who made the remarks
