Ben Benard. President and General
 Manager of the American Dredge 1 Building and Construction Company
 arrived overland day before yesterday
 after a busy summer in the Port Clarence and York districts and reports
 an excellent and gratifying season.
 In addition to looking after his dredging interests in the York tln sec | tion, Mir. Bernard also inaugurated a new mining enGeavor by installing a dredge on Swanson creek, near Tel l Ter. The machine was formerly To- cated on the AnacoVik river but was moved during the late spring to the present scene of operations Although | somewhat delayed in getting started
 owing to transportation difficulties,
 the dredge worked for period of fif'y
 days after installation and with re-
 suits which AIr. Bernard describes as very gratifying. He also reports that
 the tin dredge operated by the Amer
 1can Tin Dredging Go. on Buck creek
 in the York district in which the American Dredge Building and Con | struc.ion Company holds a large in-
 terest also had a most successful | season, the tin product exceeding that
 of last year by a substantial increase | in the volume of recovery Mir. Ber- nard gives the production of conccn- trates at over sixty tons. Owing to the
 absence of adequate transportation | facilities the product could not be shipped this fall and large aantity of concentrates IS still at York await ing shipment in the Spring. The Swanson creek dredge was operated ! until October 20 and, although there 1 was considerable snow and ice in the district, could have continued but for l the necessity of closing in time to per- init the crew to catch the last boats. Mir. Bernard says that the transpor- tation difficulties form a tremendous
 drawback to the development of the district in which he operates and there

The passengers were taken aboard the Victoria last night and it was gener- ally expected that the steamer would get away about two a. m. Delays in handling the considerable quantity of machinery aboard retarded departure. however, and the big Inner was still at anchor when daylight broke. The last of the cargo was off shortly be- fore noon and a start was made at that hour, but for some unascertained reason, the steamer returned to an- chorage about one o'clock, after mak- ing a wide detour to the south.

"Well | DON'T" pronounced Sue,
"and I'm off. So long,"
AS Esther brushed her hair that
night and looked into the mirror,
unconscious of her expressive eyes,
she inwardly stormed. "Tsidor must
have got fine impression of my
cousin! He certainly must have
been disguised at that hosiery dis
play. Sues little fool to act as
if all men looked at women from
the sex standpoint only. Thank
goodness there are some men who
prefer girls with minds" Then she
Gained down trihe. He had writ
ten such brilliant paper; it was an
honor to be consulted by him as
critic. She looked forward to an
other conversation with him to-mor-
row, even if it was to be by tele-
phone.
And every time the telephone rang
the following morning, which was
Sunday, Esther snatched at her
notes, eager to give him the criti-
cism which she thought could
heighten his confidence in her. Fin
ally it was Isidor.
II really liked your paper so
much, Isidor," she exclaimed. II
don't believe fully made you un-
derstand how much
ooh! really shouldn't have read
it last night" urged the youth. "The
fact has bothered me ever since. 1t
wasn't courteous to your cousin"
"It was good for her." indig-
nantly answered Esther.
Now you're too hard on her, I
think" demonstrated Isidor. "She's
type, you know; doesn't like to be
confined, very elemental"
Elemental, gasped Esther to her.
self, Elemental, Sue! That sophis-
ticated, societifed, high-heeled DOLL"
But outwardly she said, "Do you
want my further criticism now?"
ooh! yes" assented Isidor, "but
by the way, does your cousin live in
town"
Esther gave him the address and
then made her criticism very brief.

THE ETERNAL MASCULINE
A Story by H. S. c.

with an inward glow. Here was a
young man Of great promise and
intellect telephoning in quite an in
formal way, asking whether he
might run in for an hour in order to
get her criticism of one of his ar
ticles on Zionism. 1t was charming
to be treated like pal and fattering
to be considered a real critic. She
was also glad that she was gradually
breaking down the reserve of this
serious youth, who was known in
timately by men friends only.
The bell Of the boarding apart
ment (why not I'VE say boarding
house, rang, but not to announce Isl
dor. Another caller for Esther en-
tered in the form of her fluffy
cousin, Sue, who was living at one
of the dormitories nearby, but going
to college only incidentally
Thought I'd worry you little,
dear" Sue fell into graceful heap
on the couch.
you'll be the worried one" re-
tortcd Esther with the silent obser-
walton that Sue could be so much
prettier if she looked less like a
fashion plate. "My friend, Isidor
Rosenthal, is dropping in to read me
a paper he's written on Zionism"
Esther, l wish you'd lose that
Zionism bug" pouted Sue.
"That's not the way to speak of a
cause" demonstrated Esther. Zion
ism is quite as vital to me as dane
ing to YOU"
Fortunately or unfortunately, the
remark was interrupted by the ar
rival of Isidor Rosentha1 His was a
face not regularly good looking, but
beautiful for its idealism to those,
like Esther, who had a sense of
values.
81 really shouldn't have imposed
upon you in this way" he faltered,
appealing to Esther after he had
been introduced to Sue. "Perhaps
I'd better not read my paper, but
leave it for you to 60 over. I have
only an hour, on account of Zion
ist meeting, and | don't want to bore
your cousin too much. Shan't we
talk instead?"
"Oh you won't bore me with
reading, for | won't listen," said
Sue, fitting her head, glad that the
men she knew weren't Intellectual"
Il shall be extremely disappointed
if you don't read, Isidore," declared
Esther, indignant at Sues unsym-
pathetic remark. "You had no right

clSmS.
Every we'll then, I'll proceed" and
his eyes apologized to Sue.
The paper was almost too meaty
for Esther to grasp at first read
ing. Isidore had managed to intro
duce a fresh phase of an old subject
and also answer an attack of the Re-
formers. Another reason why his
hostess found her task difficult was
because she was consciously an
noyed by her cousin. Why must
Sue display her ankles in that
fashion; and Isidor would surely be
hurt by Sues far-away, selfcentered
expression during the reading.
When it was over, Isidor's hour
was almost up and Esther had
scarcely time to express her genu-
inc enthusiasm She had taken a
few notes on the change of word
here and there, SO Isidore asked
whether he might telephone for her
further points.
1T was pure Greek to me-" con-
fessed Sue. my inte11ect's in my
feet, anyway"
"You like dancing?" inquired the
young man.
It's my whole life" babbled Sue.
Get her to teach you, Isidore," sug-
gested Esther amused at the no.
ton.
IF she only would" laughed Isl
dor, as he reached for his hat. "Its
very hard to be off in this way, but
the cause must be served. And it's
SO good of you to help" he ex-
claimed to Esther. you're nv
mentor, you know
you're doing me the favor" said
Esther warmly. II love to be slim
ulated and don't forget to telephone.
Tomorrow"
Then Isidor went
Sue groaned. II can't abide that
type" she said. "And why stir up
all this about Judaism? 1t just in
vites prejudice"
Esther was angry. "Sue," she
darted, "In the first place your ig-
norance of Zionism is nothing short
of amusing. Don't you know that if
Jews stood up for what they are, in
stead of being amateur Gentiles
like you, the Gentiles would respect
them much more And, further
more, whether you agree with per-
son or not, young man as devoted
to any cause as Isidor, is worthy of
anyone's respect I wish the men
you went with were worth half his
