SCIENCE SAYS
 THAT ALL LIFE
 IS REALLY WAR
GERM LIFE MUST BE FOUGHT WITH OTHER GERM LIFE,
 SAY THE SCIENTISTS.

Scientists claim that there is nc such thing as inanimate matter. In other words, all matter has life, pc culiar though it be, but life just the same.
 This is particularly true in the world of chemicals, and the inces sant strifes and battles of eXtermi- nation ever raging between the ele- ments in this vast field of life ar gues largely for the scientists max i'm. Take, for instance, the action of oXalics on iron or iron rust.
 If white fabric, cloth for instance, has become stained by washing in hard water, or by contact with iron in some form, or the cloth or ma terial has yellowed from bad wash ing. there are two or three ways to remove the ugly coloring. The ac- tion of the sun, combined with the background of snow, or fields of green grass is a way in point, but the surest, the safest, the quickest and the best way to accomplish the desired result is to turn the job over to the iron rusts ancient enc. my-OXALIC-and the thing is done.
 Of course, skilled hands must per form the operation, otherwise de struction of the fabric itself might result, but in the hands of expert enced operators the thing is as safe as sunshine.
 Every housewife wants her linens to be brilliantly white, provided that the process of getting them so is not injurious, and this we are prepared to guarantee

GOOD C[EANUPS BEING MADE IN
 THE NEW CAMP
PREDICTION THAT NEW CAMP WILL CLEAN UP S6Oo,ooO
 IS NOW COMING TRUE.

If the water holds out, and it looks like it will, the end of tn" slui ing season on Liyengood creek, n the Tolovana district, should see the prediction that the new camp would produce $600,000 this sum mer coming true. according to in, formation received from that dis trict. For most of the cleanups lately have been much better than was expected All of the ground iS going better than $1 to the square foot of bedrock and some of it as high as $2 Gus Peterson and Chas. Lynn are said to be working in the best pay.
 All eyes are now turned toward the Livengood creek flats, just be low the town of Brooks, and much is expected of them. Considerable prospecting is going on there, and it is the hope of the residents of Livengood creek. for a continuance of the life of their camp, that some thing will be found.
 R. c. Koebsch and associates are among those who have taken leases on a number of associations in the flats. They are putting on the Eglar drill to test their ground, and the outcome of the drilling is being anXiously awaited by the people of the camp
 Fred Pauli and a number of oth- CTS have staked considerable ground on Goldstream headwaters. This district is trayersed by the only dorite dike known in the district, and is considered by geologists as looking promising. They have form ed company, and intend to exploit the ground by drilling or sinking as soon as possible.
 The chief source of amusement at Brooks is an occasional base ball game between the Hicks" and the "Towners.' The Hicks" have been winning most of the time dur ing the summer, but the "Towners' captured the last two games, thus evening things up a little. A dance was given for the benefit of the ball teams, who are thinking of getting new outfits.

CHAPTER xvlI-continued.

"I stole these," he said. I thought they would be my last. I was mis- taken apparently. Am 1 to thank you?'
 "Give me a cigarette instead"
 Their faces were close together The red glow of their cigarettes burned up between them, and they looked each other in the eyes. Then a hand was stretched out and touched Farquhar's with an almost feminine gentleness.
 "Is there anything can do for you when we get back? Any message?'
 "Yes-I should be grateful. Will you go to Madame Arnaud? Ask for her companion-a Miss Smith-a little countrywoman of mine. Will you tell her-how it happened?"
 T promise you. Nameless."
 Farquhar bowed his head for mo- ment.
 Tell her the mirage was not so splendid as the truth"
 The night deepened with the silence. They had forgotten that their hands were still clasped together. Like chil- dren they dreamed old dreams and trod old paths. The dawn broke, and instinctively their eyes sought the west. Amid the golden clouds drifting up from the horizon the night had built a city of temples and palaces. domed with silver, whose pale ethereal nina rets and glowing cupolas reached up into the translucent light of morning. For moment or two it frightened. the slender outlines strengthening almost to reality-then faded-and as the sun rose passed wholly into the vacant day.
 "Miragev'
 GoStz rose slowly and stiffiy.
 "The mirage is gone" he said. He pointed then to something moving swiftly over the wide sweep of plain. Colonel Destinn's calculated within the hour" he said. There are the chasseurs."

 CHAPTER XIX.
The Last Offer.

The long low-built room was full of sunshine. 1t poured in through the half-opened shutters and danced on the whitewashed walls and on the long deal table with its litter of maps and documents. The doors at the far end were thrown open, and two soldiers with fixed bayonets took up their posts on either hand. A few minutes later group of officers followed. They were six in number-two lieutenants three captains and major. They be longed to the same regiment. They ex- changed desultory remarks, and from time to time one or another of them laughed Only Desire Arnaud was silent.
 A moment later the sentries present ed arms and Colonel Destinn entered All six men sprang to their feet. There was more than formal military cour, tesy in that simultaneous movement Their eyes were fixed on his face as on some feared and incalculabln oracle.
 "Pray be seated, gentlemen"
 He took his place in the midst of them beneath the two tricolors draped perfunetorily over miniature and em- blematic bust of the republic. Bring in the prisoner" he said sharply.
 The sentries repeated the order, and in the brief interval that followed the six men relapsed into their former atti- tude of languid indifference. The two younger officers exchanged whispered comments, and one of them laughed.
 The door opened and a sergeant en- tered, followed by two corporals and man whose hands and feet were chained. There was a short silence. The sergeant made an authoritative gesture, and the man was thrust for ward and the door closed again, shut ting out the brief glimpse of sunlit courtyard.
 ..The prisoners number?"
 The sergeant drew out bulky docu- ment from between the buttons of his tunic.
 "No. 4005, called Richard Nameless of the First regiment, the Eleventh company"
 ..The accusation?"
 Conspiracy ana mutlny on tps field"
 Any previous record?"
 "No, my colonel, but marked as dangerous character"
 "very well, sergeant. You can staDn back"
 The man saluted and retired few paces, leaving his prisoner alone, fac ing the table. Colonel Destinn looked up. AS their eyes met the prisoner bowed, gravely. without bravado, with an instinctive courtesy which becama him strangely well. Colonel Destinn's outstretched hands were clenched, and the knuckles stood out white and pol ished as marble There was no trace of emotion on the implacabe features and his voice sounded formal and in- different.
 s.In the ordinary course of events this case would go to the court at Oran," he said. "But have received instructions from General Meunier to deal with all such offenses summarily There have been signs of unrest in the Legion. General Meunier demands that an example should be made"
 The major nodded.
 'Tt's essential to discipline he mui mured vaguely.
