ton.
A party of progress! Surely
there's nothing in it's history
since the Lincolnian days tc
justify the claim.
1t has ever since been the
party of reaction, of retrogres-
sion.
Remember?
When public lands were abun-
dant until they had been dis
tributed by corporation-owned
congresses to the railroad systems
they represented?
Those good old days when a
bunch of corporation directors
would get together and water
their sweet stocks up to abnormal
proportions and demand freight
and passenger tariffs to an ex-
tent necessary to make even the
water precious?
Or else unload theirs next day
upon duped public?
When it was not illegal to
wreck railroads and buy them in
far below their real value?
When the corporations owned
their judges and prosecuting at
torneys?
When they named boards of
aldermen for cities and legisla-
lures for states?
When they elected their own
lawyers to the Senate of the
United States to secure for them
selves such laws or repeals as
they needed in their operations? ?
When governors were made in
secret conference by corrupt
bosses and forced upon states?
When subsidies were granted
by legislatures with a lavishness
that only a few understood and
these could not prevent?
When regulation of railroads
was defeated every time any
attempt was made to enact it in
to statutes?
When the lobby ran riot in
every capitol and county seat in
the land?
Glorious old republican days!
When every contract of import
ance was the basis of graft and
the result of corrupt methods?
When panics were easily made
and only the innocent lost?
When mortgage writer's were
up to their necks in employment
every day in the year?
Remember?
When in every community there
was a machine and a big over
lord in every state to control
them?
When trade restraint was easy 4?
When the barons of business
wrote their own tariff schedules /?
When the rich escaped taxa
ton and corporations were i'm
mune from interference of every
kind from the minions of the
law?
When there was one interest
rate for the poor man and an
other for the rich man?
When the banks were unsu-
pervised and no depositor's
money was secure from big
thieves?
When railroads gave rebates
and flagrantly Disseminated
against competition?
When the small producer was
the easy victim of the more
powerful?
Why go on?
Those were republican days.
The party was then strongly en-
trenched, and naturally it went
too far in it's exactions. Such
times could not last.

"But-but," he stammered
again. Il didn't think you meant
me to go on absolutely blind"
No." she answered, still play
fully. Not quite that. This is a
mine of pitchblende," she con-
tinued. 1T was located here many
years ago by my father and has
been kept secret in the further
ance of certain plans he has in
mind. You never heard of it in
the States because the outfit was
brought here from England by
way of Hudson strait and Ungava
bay, and because the product
mined here has never been mar
keted in the States
Pitchblende. Her utterance of
the word sent Jensen's mind
bounding to the nth point of ex-
.altation; then as quickly dropped
1t to the uttermost depths of de-
spair. This, then, must be the
mysterious source of 'ithite" he
had been commissioned by Chief
Hike to discover.
Come" she said. 1--WE will go
down into the canyon; it is called
Black DEVILS Bed. That is Black
Devil river. The mine help here

NO DOUBT that
RESIkOL DOES
HEAL SICK SKIN

When you know physicians have
prescribed Resinol for over 20
years in the treatment of eczema
and other itching, burning, I'M
slightly skin eruptions, and have
written thousands of reports say
ing: 1T is my regular prescrip-
ton for itching" "Resinol has
produced brilliant results" 1.-THE
result 1t gave was marvellous in
one of the worst cases of eczema"
ETC., etc, doesn't 1t make you feel
that this is the treatment to rely
on for your skin-trouble?
The moment Resinol Ointment
touches itching skins, the itching
usually stops and healing begins.
With the aid of Resinol Soap, it
almost always clears away every
trace of eczema, ringworm, PIN
pies, or other distressing erup-
ton quickly, leaving the skin
clear and healthy. Sold by all
druggists. For trial free, write

CHAPTER V.
Into the Unknown.

1t was late the next morning
when the three thoroughly ex-
hausted travellers awoke.
The wind and sleet had vanish
ed to the south and the tempera-
ture was now several degrees
above zero.
AS they resumed their journey,
Jensen's mind was beset by a
thousand conjectures. What sort
of a place was this Camp Argyle?
What would he meet there? How
would they treat him, a stranger
whom Kerry Mallabee might per-
haps tell them was masquerading
under a name that was not his
own.
Jensen was also perfectly aware
that wherever he might be going,
there could be no turning Back; a
return trip alone, at this season
of the year, even with dogs and
, komatic, would be practically i'm
possible for man like himself,
who knew nothing of the trails.
Then he looked ahead to where
Kerry Mallabee strobe along be-
side her dog team, and thought
that being here with her was more
than slight compensation for the
uncertainty Of this mysterious ex-
petition into the unknown.
Her conduct puzzled him. Did
she know? If she did know, why
was she leading him to Camp Ar
gyle? His injured arm was no
longer reason for keeping on, and
she must be aware of the fact.
Here was, however, but one
thing for him to do; keep on. He
was still secret service employee,
and his mission was to find the
source of those wonderful double
eagles.
Just as darkness began to fall,
Kerry Mallabee fingered behind

Kerry Mallabee stopped, and
placed one hand upon his arm as
she said slowly and with won
derfully winning note in her
voice: -
boy, do you think you could
do very great thing for me, and
do it blindly, without putting
questions?"
He looked into her Swallowed
face as he answered:

for you; but l fear | am only

what I was doing and why"

II thought you were lost, and

His heart singing with gladness
at having found her, hardly real.
izing what he was doing, Jensen
held her close in his arms and
murmured comfortingly:
Its all right now. We were the
ones who were lost; we wandered
from the trail and did not dis
cover it for some time. Then we
came back, found your empty
sledge, thought you were lost, and

For an instant Kerry Mallab bee
lay unresisting in his embrace
and the nearness of her sweet
presence seemed ample reward
for all his recent suffering. Then
suddenly appearing to realize for
the first time where she was, she
broke away, and Jensen thought
he caught a look of sad reproach
in her beautiful brown eyes as she
said:
we must return to Peter
Saint at once. Can you make it?'

back to the komatics. Safe now
