Berlin, via London, July l4.-Berlin's
bank clerks yesterday set an example in
patriotic self sacrifice. To aid the move

Over the Rockies in a Blizzard

Leaving Salt Lake City they started
for Evanston, Wyoming, travelling the
latter half of the distance through one
of the hardest transforms imaginable
the road was washed out and the car had
to find its own way over rocks and along
lodges that seemed impossible.
Starting from Evanston for Fort
Bridger they ran into blizzard, which
at lower levels turned into rain.
The road was a veritable canal.
At one point they only made nine
miles in FIVE hours (the picture above
shows why).

II they uld not eat until she cooked
another meal for them.
She was still hot with the spirit Of
mutiny when morning came, but she
cooked breakfast. 1t was not IN her to
act like u petllant child. Morning also
brought a different aspect to things.
for Charlie told her while he helped
prepare breakfast that he was going
to take his crew and repay In labor
the help Jack Fyfe had given him
While we're there Jack cook will
feed all hands" said he. And by the

little pride in the matter don't want
my sister drudging at the only kind Of
wa.s she'd be able to earn living att
You're perfectly willing to have me
drudge here she flashed back.
That's different" he defended. "And
It's only temporary. I'll be making
real money before long. You'll get
your share If you'll have a little pa
tience and put your shoulder to the
wheel. Lord, I'm doing the best
can"
Yes, for YOURSELF" she returned.
You don't seem to consider that I'm
entitled to as much fair play as you'd
have to accord one Of your men.

OF you Is what Is mine and the priv
ilege of using my own Judgment. I'm
quite capable OF taking care of myself"
If there had been opportunity to en-
large on that theme they might have
come to another verbal clash, but Ben
ton never lost sight Of his primary OBJ
Ject. The getting Of breakfast and
putting his men about their work
promptly was Of more importance to
him than Stella's grievance. SO the
inciplent storm dwindled to a sullen
mood on her part Breakfast over
Benton loaded men and tools aboard n
scow hitched beside the boat. He re-.
peated his invitation, and Stella re.
fused, with sarcastic reflection on
the company she would be compelled
to keep there.
The Chickamin, with her tow, drew
off, ana she was alone again.
"Marooned once more" Stella said
to herself when the little steamboat
slipped behind the first jutting point
"Oh, If could just be man for
awhile"
Some time during the next forenoon
she went southerly along the lake shore
on foot without object or destination,
merely to satisfy in some measure the
restless craving for action. When she
returned to camp ut O'Clock, driven
IN by hunger Jack Fyfe sat on the
doorstep.
