was two months before he appeared at
the post again, and then he remained
only long enough to patch himself up
and secure fresh supplies.
Melisse had suffered quietly during
these two months, grief and loneli-
ness filling her heart which none knew
but herself. Even from Iowaka she
kept her unhappiness secret, and
yet when the gloom had settled heavi-
est upon her she was still buoyed up
by persistent hope. Until JAMS last
visit TO Lac Balm this hope never quite
went out.
The first evening after his arrival
from the swamps to the west he came
TO the cabin. His beard had grown
again. His hair was long and shaggy
and fell In shining dlshevelment upon

Mellsse from Jang'
The big snow decided. II came
early In December. Dixon had set out
alone for Ledoq's early in the morn
Ing. BY noon the sky was Ieaden
black. and a little later one could not
see dozen PAGES ahead OF him for the
snow. The Englishman did not return
that day. The next day he was still
gone, and Gravois drove along the top
OF the mountain ridge until he came
TO the Frenchman's. where he found
that Dixon had started for Lac Balm
the preceding afternoon. He brought
word back to the post Then he went
to Melisse.
"It In as good as death to 20 out In
search OF him. he said. "we can no
longer use the dogs. Snowshoes will
sink like leaden bullets by morning,
and TO go ten miles from the post
means that there will be bones to be
picked by the foxes when the crust
comesr'
1t was dark when Jan came into the
cabin. Meiisse started to her feet with
a little cry when he entered, covered
white with the snow. A light pack
was strapped to his back, and be car
ried bis rife In his hand.
Il am going to hunt for him." he
said softly. IF he is alive will bring
him back to you"
She came to him slowly, and the
beating of JAMS heart sounded to him
like the distant drumming Of par.
fridge wings. All. would he ever for
get that look? The old glory was In
her eyes. her arms were reaching out,
her lips parted. He saw her face so
near to him that he felt the touch Of
her sweet breath. and he knew that
one of his rough hands was clasped In
both OF her own and that after mo-
ment It was crushed tightly against
her bosom.
".Tan. my hero
He struggled back, almost sobbing.
as he plunged out into the night again.
He heard her voice crying after him,
but the wild wailing of the spruce and
the storm in his brain drowned her
words. He had seen the glorious light
of love in her eyes-her love for Dixoni
And he would ind himl
He went to Ledoq's now, following
the top of the mountain, and reached
his cabin In the late dawn. The French
man stared at him in amazement when
he learned that he was about to set
out on search for Dixon.
"You will not find him." he said slow
ly in French, ''but If you are determin-
ed to go will hunt with you. II is 6

"An hour after he had gone you could

replied Ledoq. preparing his pack.
There is no doubt but that he circled
out over Lac Balm. We will go that
far together and then search alone"
They went back over the mountain
and stopped when instinct told them
that they were opposite the spruce for
ests of the lake. There they separated.

into the northwest. Ledoq trailing slow

When the question recently came
up concerning the sale Of liquor in

tor J. Botto, one 9l the commission
ers, wrote 10 some fourteen cities on
the subject. SIX have 50 far an
sWcrcd, Chicago, Houston, Louis
VILE. Atlanta, Boston and 81. Louis,
and each reply is the same. In none
of them is liquor allowed on park
grounds. We have no doubt That the
replied from The others Will be of a
similar tenor. It is Uncomfortable
that they could be otherwise. for,
however liberal may be its views in
the matter Of licensing the saloon,
no city could afford to sci the bad
example Of allowing intOxicants to
be dispensed where women and
children are invited to cOngregate.-

At the CoIdsmith's,

ECONOMY is the poor mans mint"
You may all know this quotation and
see the wisdom of it, but economy is
also the rich mans bank, and they are
wise who practice it wisely.
Here is a great economy: In every
wise goldsmith's shop where he works
there stands a barrel containing more
or less dust and rubbish which have
been swept up from the floor.
You might rightly wonder why the
goldsmith would allow so much dirt
to stand in his shop, and you might
even ask him why he does not have it
emptied.
He will tell you that in the dirt and
dust in the barrel are particles of gold
which had fallen to the floor and been
gathered in with. the sweepings. He
even wears leather apron. SO that
the gold dust can roll off and not cling
to his wooden clothing and thus get
lost Such barrel of trash might
easily net him $50 after the smelter
does his work. The floor of the gold
smiths shop is usually corrugated, and
into these ridges the gold particles
drop until cleaned up. The profits
represented, by the saving of this dust
in large shop is very considerable,
and the smith looks to this gold dust
for much of his profits.
