John passed the next day quietly
enough. He came to like Marjorie,
and was somewhat shocked by dis
covering that Vests son was en-
amored OF her. He made it his bust
ness to met the young man, and liked
him. As result, he resolved pri-
vately that when skillful searchers
proved beyond a doubt that the older
man had been defrauding the com
pany he would simply be sent about
his business after receiving the sever
est OF warnings
Unhappily, Richard West could not
guess this benevolent intent. While
Burton was actually planning the
happiness OF the younger people
since there seemed to be no reason
why Thomas West should not step
into his fathers shoes--the man who
found criminal career so suddenly
cut off was making up his mind to
saw himself by the foulest means it
was possible to contrive.
West chose Jim Wade as his tool.
Wade was second hand on Rogers
boat, and drunken, ne'er-do well fell
low who was always borrowing. At
that very period he was indebted to
West for various small loans, and the
latter made no mistake in the as
sumption that II Wa, were tempted
by a sufficiently large sum-a sum

Train Your Hair as
an Actress Does

No class Of people devote as much
time to beauty as do actresses, and
naturally no class must be more care
full to retain and develop their charms.
Inquiry among them develops the in
formation that in hair care they find
it dangerous to shampoo with any
makeshift hair cleanser. Instead they
have studied to find the finest prep
aration made for shampooing and
bringing out the beauty Of the hair.
The majority Of them say that to
enjoy the best hair wash and scalp
stimulator that is known, get pack
age Of canthrox from your druggist;
dissolve teaspoonful in cup OF
hot water and your shampoo is ready.
1t costs less than 3 cents for this
amount. After its use the hair dries
rapidly, with uniform color. Dand-
ruff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved
and entirely disappear Your hair
will be so fluffy that it will look much
heavier than it is. Its luster and
softness will also delight you, while
the stimulated scalp gains the healtl,
which insures hair growth.--Adv.

while, ! want to go through your
books. There is belief prevalent at
headquarters, whether we'll founded or
not, that the local catches run to
rather small quantities as compared
with those made elsewhere under
similar conditions"
| West was startled, but strove to
hide the fear which suddenly welled
up in his heart.
"The books are all o. K, Mr.. Bur-
ton," he said. Where do you wish
to start! At the beginning of the
Year, Or would you care to see last
years accountsl"
For the present." said John, 81

the records for the last fourteen days.

boat, ! suppose?"
why, yes" said West. ~ shouldn't
be able otherwise to make the right
payments. You see, the men are paid
on what they bring in. No fish, no
money, is the rule of this trade"
He produced certain ledgers, and
John ran through the columns until
he came to the Mary R., the name OF
the boat which Captain Rogers oper-
ated. He checked the entries with
the slip given him by the skipper, and
Vests red face showed deep purple
blotches when he realized what this
comparison meant He knew then that
career of ill-doing was ended once
and for ALL He saw himself con-
victed felon and sentenced to a long
term of imprisonment.
He needed no telling that he was
exceedingly unpopular in the village.
Once the fishermen became convinced
that the president of the company was
on their side they would make no
bones whatsoever about giving evil
dence. Even the poor hirelings whom
West bribed to certify false quantities
would go against him and plead in
extenuation that they were only obey
ing managerial orders which it was
not within their province to question.
Ugly and horrible thoughts clouded
he mans brain as he gazed through a
mist of foreboding at the judge who
lad so suddenly fallen upon him from
he skies. He could not gather from
Johns manner the extent of the new
comer's suspicious, but an evil con-
science was more than ample in that
respect, and West found no cause for
relief when Burton rose quietly, pock-
eted certain memoranda which he had
made, and said:

gravely.
Then. indeed, did West realize the
fate in store for him In that moment,
from being thief in actual fact he
became murderer in intent.

they have abandoned all so-ealled prepared

dition can surely be no worse than that
of many of my stage friends had been
before following my suggestion.
There Is no question about IT. IL will
do the work. Start using II today. It's
very simple. You make II at home your

Of eptol at any drug store and mix with
one tablespoonful of glycerine and half a

Next morning Burton went to the
company's offices at what he deemed
a suitable hour, and introduced him
self to the manager. West, of course,
pretended to be vastly surprised,
though he had known of Johns pres
ence in the village shortly after the
latter's arrival.
He was much puzzled and genuinely
alarmed, but contrived TO mask his
feelings by assuming a deferential
manner.
Glad to see you here, Mr.. Burton"
he said, with great show of affabil-
ity. Il think you will find everything
in apple-pie order. Have you come

were none other than Jim Wade and
Osuka, Burton's Japanese valet.
The facts we're simple enough
Marjorie and young West were chat.
ting together at the fish quay when
Thomas was summoned urgently by
his father. While strolling home, the
girl was met by Wade, who had al
ready accepted an installment of the
blood-money promised him by the de.
faulting manager, and was primed for
viciousness by bad whisky.
Now, this hulking brute felt more
than passing fancy for the girl, and
the sight Of her inflamed him to i'm
prudence. He insisted on engaging
her in talk, and, when she would have
gone on, restrained her forcibly.
She struggled to free herself, but
he threw his great arms around her
shoulders and strove to kiss her. This
was all done in sort of drunken good
humor. He pretended that she was
only coy and would be willing enough
TO endure his embraces if it were not
broad daylight and people were look
ing. Marjorie, however, now really
alarmed, fought with the desperation
Of despair and screamed shrilly for
help.
Assistance came from a most unex-
pected quarter. Osuka was among
those who ran, but while the other
men held back-men who had already
too good reason to know the strength
of Waide's arm and the brutality OF
his temper-Osula dashed at him,
much as fox terrier might tackle a
bull.
At the little mans first grip on his
wrist Wade released the girl and
turned to face his diminutive op-
ponent. He laughed loudly when he
saw who had attacked him.
Why you dirty little monkey he
cried, Il can smash you with one hand
tied behind my back"
Among the many things which Jim
Wade had never heard of previously,
but was now destined to acquire
close and intimate knowledge of, the
art of jiu-jitsu bulked large. Within
few seconds he was not quite aware
whether he was standing on his head
or his heels. Biting little jabs struck
him on clusters of nerve centers,
Paralyzing each limb on which they
landed. He crumpled up as though
his solid frame were composed OF
nothing more substantial than melted
lard inclosed in sausage skins. He
was thrown this way and that, spun
several times headlong into the dust
and finally pitched into a dock, in
which he might straightway have
drowned had not a couple of mates
gone to his assistance and dragged
him out.
Say, Jim," said one, when Wade
was safely landed. II guess you've had

struggle. Marjorie did not interfere,
but had the presence of mind to stop
the engine. At last, making supreme
effort, Burton bent Waide's arm back
and forced him to lei go the weapon
which fell into the sea.
Thinking he had mastered his adver-
sary, Burton relaxed his efforts for
moment, and the outcome was nearly
disastrous, since Wade, agile as cat,
sprang away from him, seized boat
hook and dealt him a terrible blow on
the head, which momentarilv deprived
him of his senses. The great brute
laughed at the success of what he re-
garded clever stratagem and w;s
about to pick up Burton's body and
heave it into the sea after that of the
hapless skipper when Marjorie closed
with him. Despite her puny strength.
the plucky girl managed to defeat his
purpose and compelled HIM to defend
himself against her really courageous
attack.
The fight between the two had last
ed for five long minutes. and it was
sheer impossibility that either they
or Marjorie should notice the rescue
boats drawing near. When Wade had
beaten down the girls hands, how
ever, and was actually taunting her
with the fate he meant intlcting after
he had dealt with Burton, his staring
eyes fell on the pursuers.
Then he knew what was coming to
him. Inspired by the final madness Of
a cornered tiger, h, seized Marjorie,
meaning to leap overheard holding
her in his arms so that they might
drown together. But she. too, had
seen the boats, and she fought now
for dear life. The odds were hope
lessly against her, of course, and she
was on the very lip Of death when
one Of the men in the leading boat
took a chance and fired. The bullet
struck Waide's spine. He lurched
backward, stumbled and dropped into
the sea.
So Jotn Burton, on recovering his
senses, came back into a world which
still shuddered in the Grip Of Evil

TIME TO GET TOGETHER
Valdez Prospector)

There is no better time than right for all the people Of Valdez get together and boost for the town. From any point of view one may select. there is not the slightest reason for dissatisfaction in view The horizon is clear, the black clouds of hatred and malice have disappeared. and nothing remains to prevent us from joining hands in united effort to build up the town.
 Nothing remains but to get the people together in one big organization for tbe common good. A Commercial Club with limited number Of members will not fIn the bill: it be organization In which must be enrolled every adult in the town not men alone but ladies as well; and organization in which every member shall feel not only free to voice his or her opinin regarding public afaids but that is his or her duty to do so.
 No organization in which every person in town is not interested will answer the purpose.
 Such an organization would do away with all fac tonal strife would bring out new ideas for the up building of the town and with frequent meetings would
 maintain the interests the people in the welfare oi the public With such organization the dues would be merely nominal so that could feel the bur den and the amount of good 1t could do would be Of nestimabe value in promoting the grwth of the town both socially and materially.
 Too often the commercial organizations of Alas kan towns have been used promote personal Inter ests with the welfare Of the town secondary con- sideraton and this has been possible because but few of the people have become members That such has been the is largely due to the people themselves bcause they have not displayed the interest in the development of their community to which 1t Is en- titled and which 1t their duty to concern them selves with.
 Therefore let us all get together to work for the common good that community may flourish and grow prosperous and
 Watch Valdez grow.

SHAME ON MANN

The Republicans Of the country should be heartily ashamed of James R. Mann. their leader In the Ma tional House of Representatives. whO characterized the Presidents ultimatum to Germany as political dodge" and accused the President of hs country Of
 intriguing to rush his people into war for personal political reasons He knew better. His long career in the puboic service told him that he spoke falsely. He knew that the President been so patient with Germany that he had been cridcised-Siann. himself had criticised Yet in the hour of the greatest peril since the beginning Of the world war; he accused the head of his own country with perfdy than which nothing could be He did 1t obviously for politi- cal purposes.
