The lit- tie fellow was perfectly calm and cool about it and displayed little sign of the usual childish perturbation over similar incidents Dr. Chace exam ined the injured digit and found that it was all but amputated, only a small portion of one side of the ugly gash remaining intact. As the child ap- pearcd perfectly ably to stand the operation, Dr, Chace proceeded to sew the injured member on again. The lad stood the ordeal without finch ing and when it was concluded de- parted with a cheerful thanks and farewell. Dr. Chace says the lad is the nerviest child he has ever en- countered in all his professional career and the proverbial burglar is not in 1t for a minute when it comes to pure nerve.

Davis said, one of the first three placed in operation. The other two are in Arizona and Wash ington, respectively. Fairbanks was ton owing to central location and general accessibility. The business of the station is to make tests of ores with a view to determining what min eral values they contain. The bur eau does not do assaying in the strict sense of the term, Mir. Davis explain ed, and does not include tests for gold or silver Gold and silver ores are generally recognized.

CHAPTER VII


MARTHA opened the door for her.
lNl ''why, Miss Ruth" she exclaimed
gladly II must be admitted. Martha
was very fond Of Ruth.
Ruth" exclaimed Mrs Rowland, ap-
pearing in the door of the living room
why. dear, what brings you here at
this time? Where Is ScottT'.
Now, Ruth had Just two ways of pro-
cedure. She could tell her mother that
Bcott had left her to go out to dinner
and receive her mothers sympathy and
INDIGNATION or she could stand by Scott
and her own pride and act as though
Scott had gone out with her own full
approval. To do Ruth credit she chose
the latter course.
She strolled nonohalantly into her
ewn old room and slipped out of her
coat She took the hatpin out of her
hat and threw the hat itself carelessly
on the bed. She powdered her nose and
then turned toward her mother with her
face wreathed in smiles.
Shave you had dinner?"
come out, dear. Martha will fix
place."
where's Bobby?''
"He's gone down to have dinner with
the Burkes. There's going to be NOV
Ing picture entertainment and Mrs.
Burke is taking about eight of the boys.
What Is It, Ruth? Have you anything
to tell me? You act SO strangely
dear"
!. Ruth opened her eyes wide. "oh,'
she exclaimed, you mean because
blew in on you this way without Scott
Well I'll tell YOU about 1t. Scott is
staying downtown for dinner tonight
and 1 went to q bridge this afternoon
and expected to 60 home. Then de-
cided that might as well have dinner
with you, and here / am"
"Where is Scott having dinner"
"Oh. with some men,"
~And he left you home alone?"
"Why, of course, mother. want Scott
to see his men friends. ! don't want
to have him feel that he is tied to my
apron strings"
Martha had gone out of the room
her absence. She shook her head dis
approvingly. II don't approve of it.
my dear. You'll find you're all wrong
In adopting these principles with Scott
a married man should stay at home
with his wife, and II he goes out he
should take her with him. How do. you
know he's with his men friends? Dc
you know just where he is?"
"Oh. mother, of course did not make
Scott tell me just where he would be all
