NOVEL LUNCHEON AT PRATT

Pratt.-At banquet held by mem
bers of the Methodist church, the
men had entire charge of the affair
and they did 1t in very original
fashion.
Sandwiches were served in coal
buckets and on coal shovels. Coffee
was poured from water sprinklers
and the cream from thumb-squirt oil
cans, while water was put on the
tables in little brown jugs.
The men surprised the women
with this entertainment and did all
the work themselves, even to wash
ing the dishes,

"The Unwritten Law" drew crowd

night, and from the favorable ex-

The Majestic is putting some real

William Penn. whose faults and mis-
takes are shown up, and he is liken-

ance is made for his abilities and his
difficulties that he is called more of
a statesman than a saint, a better
preacher than a business man, a
rather weak ruler. but, considering
the people he had to deal with, in
cluding kings, Quakers and indians,
and his general success. we ought
finally to say the greatest of the long
line of Pennsylvania politicians" +"

How to Get
Rid of Corns

People suffering from tired. swol-
len, aching feet, or from singing.
burning corns or calluses will be glad
to know that these nerve-racking,
misery bringing affections can be
quickly overcome by simple home
treatment that will not cause one bit
or pain or soreness.
From your druggist get a small jar
of Ice Mint. Rub little on any pain
full corn or callus. Instantly the pain
will disappear and in short time the
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted out easily with the fingers-root
and all-leaving the. surrounding skin
in healthy, normal condition.
When you stop to consider that the
simple. pleasant. process of rubbing a
little Ice-Mint on the foot at night
will shortly rid one of every painful
corn or callus and will keep the feet
cool comfortable and rested on the
hottest days, it is easy to understand
why it is thought that foot troubles
will soon be a thing of the past.
Ice-Mint is an entirely new depar
ture from the disagreeable old time
foot remedies. inasmuch as it is abb
solutely harmless and comes in the
form of a snow white creamy prepara-
tion, which is delightful and easy to
apply. Tt costs little and can be OBJ
tanned here from any of our local

prised beyond measure that he
should read that thought.
He stood looking down at her for
a second or two. His lips parted,
but he closed them again over what
ever rose to his tongue and passed
silently through the dining room
and into the bunkhouse, where Ben
ton had preceded him matter of
ten minutes.
1t lacked q week of Christmas.
That day three of Benton's men had
gone in the Chickamin to Roaring
Springs for supplies. They had re-
turned in midafternoon, and Stella
guessed by, the new note of hiliarity
in the bunkhouse that part of the
supplies had been liquid. This had
happened more than once since the
big snow closed in. She remem-
bered Charles fury at the logger
who started Matt the cook on his
spree, and she wondered at this re-
taxation, but it was not in her
province, and she made no COM
ment.
Jack Fyfe stayed to supper that
evening. Neither he nor Charlie
came back to Benton's quarters
when the meal was finished. While
she stacked up the dishes Katy John
observed:
Goodness sakes, Miss Benton,
them fellers was fresh at supper.
They was half drunk, some of them.
l bet they'll be half a dozen fights
before mornin'."
Later there rose a brief clamor.
In the dead silence that followed
she heard a thud and the ,clinking
smash of breaking glass, a painted
oath, sounds of struggle.
Stella slipped on a pair of her
brothers. gum boots and an over
coat and ran out on the path beaten
from their cabin to the shore. 1t

side opened two uncurtained win
doWs, yellow squares that struck
cleaning on the snow. The panes of
one were broken now, sharp frag-
ments standing like saw teeth in
the wooden sash.
She stole warily near and looked
in. Two men were being held apart,
one by three of his fellows, the other
by Jack F'yfe alone. Fyfe grinned
mildly, talking to the men in a quiet,
pacific tone.
Now you know that was moth
ing to scrap about" she heard him
say. You're both full of fighting
whisky but a bunkhouse isn't any
place to fight. Wait till morning.
If you've still got it in your systems
go outside and have it out. But you
shouldn't disturb our game and
break up the furniture. Be gentle
men, drunk or suber. Better shake
hands and call it square,"
law, let 'em go to it, if they
want to-"
Charles voice, drink thickened,
harsh, came from a corner of the
room into which she could not see
until she moved nearer. BY the time
she picked him out F'yfe resumed
his seat at the table where three
others and Benton waited with cards
in their hands, red and white chips
and money stacked before them.
She knew enough of cards to
realize that a stiff poker game was
on the board when she had watched
one hand dealt and played. 1t
angered her, not from any ethical
motive, but because of her brothers
part in it. He had no funds to pay
cooks wages, yet he could afford
to lose on one hand as much as he
credited her with for q months
work. She could slave at the kitchen
job day in and day out to save him
$45 a month. He could lose that
without the flicker of an eyelash, but
he couldn't pay her wages on de-
mand. Also she saw that he had
imbibed too freely, if the redness
of his face and the CLASSY fixedness
of his eyes could be read Alright.
"Pig!" she muttered. IF that's
his idea of pleasure. oh, well, why
should 1 care? 1 don't, so far as
he's concerned, if Icould just get
away from this beast of a place
myself"
Abreast of her a logger came to
the broken window with a sack to
bar out the frosty air. And, Stella,
shivering with the cold, ran back to
the cabin and got into her bed.
But she did not sleep, save in un-
easy periods of doing, until mid
night was long past. Then F'yfe
and her brother, came, in, and by
the sounds she gathered that Fyfe
was putting Charlie to bed. She
heard his deep, drawing voice urg-
ing the unwisdom of sleeping with
calked boots on and Benton's hic-
cupy response. The rest of the night
she slept fitfully, morbidly imagin-
ing terrible things. She was afraid,
that was the sum and substance of
it. over in the bunkhouse, the
carousal was still at it's height. She
could not rid herself of the sight
of those two men struggling to be
at each other like wild beasts, the
bloody face of the one who had
been struck, the coarse animalism
of tho whole whisky saturated gang.
1t repelled and disgusted and fright
ened her.

olutionized the girls stormy char

now would be the worst thing in the
world for the girl. and much as
Helen wanted to do it, she schooled
herself to speak as severely as she
could.
"Of course you will be as selfish
as you can about it, Vera" she said
sharply. You say that other girls
have everything and can afford to
give their men up while you can't.
What about the mothers with little
babies to take care Of? What about
the girls with none of your advan-
tages who accept the results of the
war with courage and faith in their
hearts? You are giving way to
everything that is narrow and small
in your nature, and if you really
love Mr.. Leonard as you say you do
you are making it unutterably hard
for him."
Viva turned upon Helen like n

of concentrated fury and did not
finch.

Stella consented. In truth she could
do nothing else. Charlie spent a
little of his contract profits in pip

things to brighten up and make
more comfortable their own quar-
tcrs.

That was a winter of big snow.
November opened with rain. Day
after day the sun hid his face be-
hind massed, splitting clouds. Morn
ing, noon and night the caves of the
shacks dripped steadily, the gaunt
limbs of hardwoods were a line of
coursing drops, and through all the
vast reaches of fir and cedar the
patter of rain kept up a dreary
monotone. Whenever the mist that
blew like rolling smoke along the
mountains lifted for a brief hour
there, creeping steadily downward,
lay the banked white.
Before the snow put a stop to
logging. Jack Fyfe dropped in once
a week or so. When work shut
down he came oftener, but he never
singled Stella out for any particular
attention. Once he surprised her
sitting with her face buried in her
palms She looked up at his quiet
entrance, and her face must have
given him his cue. He leaned a
little toward her.
"How long do you think you can
stand it?" he asked gently.
God knows" she answered, sur
prised into speaking the thought that
lay uppermost in her mind, sur

and she held out her hands i'm
pulsively.
There was tense moment and
then the fierce light in Viva's eyes
died out. She wavered a moment
and then slipped across into Helen's
comforting arms. Helen let her
sob quietly, for she knew that after
the first shock was over Viva's new
powers of self-control would assert
themselves and She would meet the
situation bravely and we'll.
