deed one of its greatest assets and
truest blessings.
And one other thing which is i'm
portant to impress upon us today, is
the idea, that the work must be uni
fled and standardized. We Ameri-
cans have been too prone in the past
to feel, that if we gave volunteer ser
vice, the idea of giving the service
was sufficient, and not the idea that
we had standard to which we must
conform and that the standard must
be high.
Red Cross work is not now fad.
1t is very essential and important
part Of the preparedness of our coun-
try. General Leonard Wood, of the
United States Army, has just stated
that as "a chain is only as strong as
its weakest link" so an army is on
ly as strong as its Red Cross"
Men and women of great and vast
experience all over the United States
today, are giving up their ordinary
vocations and business and rallylng
around the banner of the Red Cross,
serving without compensation, serv-
ing with all the experience that years
in the professional, business or finan-
cial world has given them, with the
idea of giving to the Red Cross the
best they have. Realizing that as
we have entered into this worlds war
we can help now to strengthen and
reinforce our allies, especially in
France and England, who have beer
taxed to their utmost capacity, ano
who are now ealing to the American
Red Cross to give (even more than il

even tease her about attempting
anything like that. She remember

she was not that kind of woman,
and the memory served to strength
en- her purpose. Just this once, she
would do as she said she would, and
with light "good-by" she opened
the door and slipped out.
In the hall she had a wild longing

Elliot took in with a quickened
interest the group bound for kusiak.
He had noticed that they monopoliz-

places on the deck and in the dining

outsiders, but their manner had the

With a wave of his hand Strong
pointed to a group of miners who
had boarded the boat with them at
Pierre's Portage. There were about
a dozen of the men, for the most
part husky, heavy-set Foreigners.
Elliot gathered from their talk that
they had tried TO organize an in

district.

The
Yukon Trail
CHAPTER 1
BY William Macleod Raine
Going I'm"

Going I'M
The midnight sun had set, but in a
crotch between two snow peaks it
aad kindled a vast caldron from
which rose mist of jewels, garnet
and turquoise, topaz and amethyst
and opal. all swimming in a sea of
molten gold. The glow of it still
clung to the face of the broad Yu-
Kon. as a flush does to the soft, wrin-
kled cheek of a girl just reused from
deep sleep.
Except for a faint murkiness IN
the air it was still day. There was
light enough for the four men play
ing pinochle on the upper deck,
though the women of their party,
gossiping in chairs grouped near at
hand, had at last put aside their
embroidery. The girl who sat by
herself at a little distance held a
magazine still open in her lap.
Gordon Elliot had taken the boat
at Pierre's Portage, fifty miles
farther down the river. He had
come direct from the creeks, and
his impressions of the motley pio-
neer life at the gold diggings were
so vivid that he had found an iso-
lated corner of the deck where he
could scribble them in notebook
. while still fresh.
But he had not been too busy to
see that the girl in the wicker chair
was as much of an outsider as he
was. Plainly this was her first trip
in. Gordon was a stranger in the
Yukon country, one not likely to be
overwelcome when it became known
what his mission was.
From where he was leaning
against the deckhouse Elliot could
see only a fine, chiseled profile
shading into a mass of crisp, black
hair. but some quality in the de-
tachment of her personality stimu-
lated gently his imagination. He
wondered who she could be.
\ short, thickset man who had
ridden down on the stage with Elliot
to Pierre's Portage drifted along the
deck toward him. He wore the

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

Box plated skirts are ex-
ceedingly fashionable this sea-
son and this little frock shows
one with a long wasted, plain
bodice portion that is abso-
lutely new and eminently at
tractive. As you see it here, it
is made of a light weight broad
cloth with collar and cuffs of
satin, but you could copy the
idea in a charmeuse satin if you
want a more dressy costume or
in serge if you want a more
useful one, and for the collar,
you can use any contrasting
material, or you can use the
same material and braid it or
embroider it. A simple braid
ing design couched over with
heavy worsted thread makes
smart effect and a novel trim
ming that is much liked. A
pretty girlish costume, adapted
to everyday uses could be
made from navy blue serge
with collar and cuffs of buff
broadcloth. That combination
is we'll liked and always pretty
and attractive. The skirt is
perforated for shorter length,
therefore, if you like the tunic
effect, you can use it over any
plain, two-piece skirt.
For the I6-year size will be
needed, 5X yards of material
SO inches wide, AZ yards a., 4
yards 81, with % yard SO for
the collar and cuffs.
