Jim Carew, a sturdy lighthouse
keeper, saves the life of Ethel Wynd-

boat crashes upon the rocks near his
post. Soon after her recovery she is
returned to the mainland, and to her
friends, and Carew, disconsolate be
cause of his unrequited love for the
girl, gives up the lighthouse. In his
subsequent wanderings, he becomes
possessed of the gold fever, and joins
a prospecting party in the rush to the
Yukon.
In the Yukon, Carew is successful
from the start. He strikes big claim,
and soon amasses a fortune On the
last night of his first week in the Yu-
kon, Carew joins a group of miners
celebrating in the leading saloon. Lit
tie Snow Bird, a beautiful young In
dian girl, strolls into the place, and
Immediately catches Carew's fancy.
Crazy Jake, one of the miners, who is
known for his fearlessness and Drawn,
proposes that the miners all cut the
cards for the girl. the holder of the
highest card to claim her as his own.
Carew resents this proposal, and
he and Crazy Jake come to blows.
Carew besets the bully in the en-
counter, and is hailed as the hero of
the game Little Snow Birds heart
goes out to Carew. and surrepititious
ly, she follows him wherever he goes.
One night he falls in a big snow storm,
and it is Little Snow Bird who finds
him and carries him to safety. After
ward, they live together.
Carew, with all the money at his
command that he desires, tires of the
camp life in the desolate Alaskan
wastes, and pines for one more fling
on the Great White Way. He ar
ranges to go to New York for one trip
and then return to his Little Snow
Bird for life Carew arrives in New
York on New Years Eve. He engages
a table in Murrays restaurant. one Of

Ethel is driven to renounce Carew,
and he is broken hearted Back on
the Yukon the little Indian girl is
waiting for him. She despairs of Ca
rev ever returning, and takes her own
life at her fathers death-bed. Carew
now remembers his Indian girl and de-
cides to go back to her, renouncing
society as frivolous and a sham. He
arrives there on the very night that
Little Snow Bird has passed away.

Make your rural house beati- full. Lay out spacious grounds around the farm house, plant shade trees, lay gravel roads and plant flowers. Don't lay up all your net earnings for the benefit of your heirs and lawyers. but spend some of it in beautifying your home. The farmer who al- ways shuts his eyes to the aes- thetic features of his life and screws himself down to the task of making money, loses a large portion, and the biggest portion too, of his existence. His home should be an attraction to him self, to his wife, and above all to his children. Unpleasant homes in too many instances drive the sons of farmers to the towns. to excitement and dissi- patton, and to wreck. Such sons do not generally leave pleasant and beautiful homes.
