and so on. Even allowing for the de-
probation of the paper ruble the rates
are very high.
Rough Country Without Roads.
AleXandrovsk, the naval station on
Ekaterina harbor, was during the war
depot of British submarines and
other mosquito craft. When Russia
fell to pieces at the revolution, and
Finland became German vassal state,
it was to be expected that an attempt
would be made to seize the Thurman
coast. Hopes were held out to Fin
land of acquiring an ice-free exit to
the Arctic ocean.
The difficulties in the way of an eX-
petition to the Thurman region are
great. The country is practically I'M
inhabited, so that a military force
must take it's own supplies. There
are no roads, and the country to be
traversed is largely mountainous, in
terspersed with tracts of forest and
marsh, presenting many obstacles to
military operations, apart from the
arctic climate. On the coast, it may
be mentioned, the climate is decidedly
milder than in the interior.
Kola, the port near Murmansk, where
Americans, British and French marines
landed in order to protect munitions
and provisions originally intended for
the Russian government, is situated
at the junction Of the KOla and TulO-
ma rivers. Before the war it had
only about 600 inhabitants, according
to war geography bulletin of the Ma
tional Geographic society.
In peace times the chief occupation
of the people of Kola is fishing, which
is profitably followed by the natives
from May to August. Kola is well
within the arctic circle, being in lat
itude 6S minutes SO seconds. 1t is
335 miles westward of Archangel, the
great White sea port of Russia.
The Peninsula of Kola constitutes
the major part of what is known as
Russian Lapland. 1t is bounded on
the north by the Arctic ocean and on
the south by the White sea. It's area
equals that Of the state of New York
and is largely plateau having an av-
erage elevation of 1000 feet.

strolling toward her.
II hoped I'd find you-aren't you GO
ing to ask me to sit DOWN. Then he
sat down anyway. 1t was quite start
ling and very exciting. He questioned
her and leased her, treated her just
as if she weren't a Van Wye and sa-
cred-just as if she were a girl whom
he liked.
"Let's walk" he finally said, rising
and catching her by the hands to draw
her to her feet. He was like that
just sudden and abruptly insistent-it
took GATHERINGS breath completely
away. And the color came into her
cheeks and lips, and animation to her
eyes. She fairly sparkled in response
to his vital presence, and she complete
ly forgot herself and her aunts and ira
dition.
So it went. She met him many
times. Apparently by accident, but
really by arrangement, although Cath
crime herself never fully realized this.
And suddenly her aunts noticed
change in her. She grew rounder,
color became pronounced, her lips were
red always and her eyes danced on the
slightest pretext. The aunts were per-
picked until one evening Catherine was
late to dinner She had been out all
afternoon in the car. Jim Brand had
given John IS, and they had left John
to his own devices while Jim took the
wheel. with Catherine in the seat be-
side him. Together all afternoon they
had breezed along through the coun-

At the Van Wye table that night
there was less conversation than usual.
The aunts were uneasy. GATHERINGS
father had been a little wild in his
youth, and the aunts wondered vague
ly until Catherine arose from the table
with a little smile.
"Aunt Belinda, were you ever
grabbed suddenly by nice young man
and Rugged close up to his heart and
kissed ever so many times right on the
mouth before you realized what was
happeningT
"Whatever put such notions into
your head, Catherine Van Wye? Ger
tainly not !" said Aunt Belinda, Sc
verely.
"Then I feel very sorry for you,
Aunt Belinda" said Catherine. de-
murely, "for you have missed some
thing"
"Catherine!" chorused the Mortified
aunts in despair, but their terrible
niece had danced toward the telephone.
And an hour later Jim Brand was
playing ragtime on GATHERINGS piano
while that young woman stood behind
him and patted the syncopated time
on his broad shoulders, occasionally
leaning down to rub her smooth cheek
against his, while in the room above
those maiden ladies, her aunts, COM
muned in solemn conference.
"And he's just a common country
boy who happens to go to college!"
said Aunt Melvina.
ct don't see what we can do about
it," said Aunt Belinda helplessly;
"she's twenty-one and has the Van
Wye Willfulness! -
And every now and then Catherine
Van Wye unexpectedly launches her
agile young body like catapult upon
her surprised husband and hugs his
head savagely to her breast, murmur-
ing: "And they would have cheated
me out of this! Cheated me out of
life, and love, and you-you common

But Jim Brand only grins and gives
his ardent wife proper kissing, which
vulgar practice, regret to say, seems
to agree with the last of the patrician
Van Wyes.

Weak, Thin People
Made Strong and Fat

Weak, thin people-men or women-are
nearly always nervous wrecks; thus con-
clusively proving that thinness, weakness,
debility and neurasthenia are almost in
variably due to nerve starvation. Feed
your nerves and all these symptoms due
to nerve starvation will disappear.
Eminent specialists state that the best
nerve food is an organic phosphate known
among druggists Bitro- Phosphate,
five grain tablet of which should be taken
with each meal. Being a. genuine nerve
builder and not a stimuant habit form
ing drug, Bitro-P Phosphate can be safely
taken by the weakest and most delicate
sufferer, and the results following its use
are often simply astonishing.
Weak. tired people regain strength and
vigor; thinness aud angularity give way
TO plumpness and curves, sleep returns to
the sIeepless confidence and cheerfulness
replace debility and gloom. dull eyes be-
come bright, and pale, .sunken cheeks re-
gain the pink glow of health. Bitro- Phos-
phate. the use of which is inexpensive, also
wonderfully promotes the assimilation of
food so much so that many people report
marked gains of weight in few weeks.
CAUTION Although Bitro- Phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
should not. owing 20 its remarkable flesh
growing properties, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh. 1t is sold
in this city by y-McFarland, Wag-
goner Goodrich and ali good druggists
