To succeed there are qualities and
qualifications that are absolutely re-

health, plus cheerfulness will give
you success. Now let us analyze
our equipment down to a more pri-

The healthy individual has a
background of vitality that will give
him strength. If you have adenoids
or Indigestion or eyes that bother
you, why not have your difficulty
attended to? You wouldn't expect

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beau
tiful. glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid OF dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it If you
don't.
II doesn't do much good to try
to brush or wash it out. The only
sure way to get rid of dandruff is to
dissolve it, then you destroy it en-
tirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; ap-
ply 1t at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, OF
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace
of it.
You will find. too, that all Itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop, and your hair will look and
feel a hundred times better. You
can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need. no mat
ter how much dandruff you have.
This simple remedy never fails.

CHAPTER Xxx.
In the Blizzard

"Swiftwater' Pete, the driver of
the stage between Kusiak and
katma, did not like the look of the
sky as his ponies breasted the long
uphill climb that ended at the pass.
"Gittin' her back up for a blizzard,
looks like. Doggone it. If that
wouldn't jest be my luck" he mur-
INJURED fretfully.
Sheba hoped there would be one,
not, of course, really. truly biz
zard such as Macdonald had told
her about, but the tail of a make
believe one, enough to send her
glowing with eXhilaration into the
roadhouse with the happy sense of
an adventure achieved. The girl
was buoyed up by a sense of free
dom. For time, at least, she was
escaping Macdonald's driving en-
ergy the appeal of Gordon Elliot's
warm friendliness, and the un-
voiced urging of Diane. Good old
Peter and the kiddies were the only
ones that let her alone.
She looked back at the horses la
boring up the hill. saltwater had
got down and was urging them for
ward, his long whip cracking about
the ears of the leaders. He was
worried. He would have liked to
turn and run for it. But the last
roadhouse was twenty-seven miles
back. If the blizzard came howling
down the slope they would have a
sweet time of it reaching safety.
Smiths Crossing was on the other
side of the divide, only nine miles
away. They would have to worry
through somehow.
Miss O'Neill knew that Swiftwa-
ter Pete was anxious, and though
she was not yet afraid, the girl un-
derstood the reason for It. The
road ran through the heart of a
snowfield, the surface of which was
being swept by screaming wind.
The air was full of sifted white
dust, and the road furrow was ran
idly filling. Soon it would be obIit-
Grated. Sheba tramped behind the
stagedriver and in her tracks walked
Mrs. Olson, the other passenger.

THE YUKON TRAIL
BY William Macleod Raine

Apparently the bed had been
slept in. In the waste-paper bas-
ket the district attorney found
something which he held up in a
significant silence. Macdonald
stepped forward and took from him
a small cloth sack.
"One of those we keep our gold
in at the bank" said the Scotsman
after a close examination. This
definitely ties up Holt with the rob-
berry. Now for Elliot
HE left the hotel with Holt about
five this morning, the porter says"
This was the contribution of the
landlord.
The room of Gordon Elliot was in
great disorder. Garments had been
tossed on the band on every chair
and had been left to lie wherever
they had chanced to fall Plainly
their owner had been in great haste.
Macdonald looked through the
closet where clothes hung. His
new fur coat is not here-nor his
trail boots. Looks to me as though
Mr.. Gordon had hit the trail with his
I.
All doubt of this was removed
when a prospector reached town
with the news that he had met Holt
and Elliot travelling toward the
divide as fast as they could drive
the dogs.
The big Scotsman ordered his team
of Siberian wolf-hounds made ready
for the trail. AS he donned his
heavy furs, Colby Macdonald smiled
with deep satisfaction. He had Ell
liot on the run at last.
Just as he closed the door of his
room, Macdonald heard the tele-
phone bell ring. He hesitated, then
shrugged his shoulders and strobe
out into the storm. If he had
answered the call he would have
learned from Diane, who was at
the other end of the line, that the
stage upon which Sheba had
started for Katma had not reached
the roadhouse at Smiths Crossing.
Five minutes later the winners of
the great Alaska sweepstakes were
flying down the street in the teeth
of the storm. Armed with a rifle
and a revolver, their owner was
rushing into the hills to bring the
men who had robbed his bank and
killed the cashier. He travelled alone
because he could go faster without
a companion. 1t never occurred to
him that he was not a match for any
two men he might face.

Through the muffled scream of
the storm saltwater shouted back
to Sheba. you wanta keep close to
me-"
She nodded her head. His order
needed no explanation. The world
was narrowing to a lane whose
walls she could almost touch with
her fingers. A pail of white
wrapped them. Upon them beat a
wind of stinging sleet. Nothing
could be seen but the blurred out
lines of the stage and the drivers
figure.
The bitter cold searched through
Sheba's furs to her soft flesh and
the blast of powdered ice beat upon
her face. The snow was getting
deeper as the road filed Once or
twice she stumbled and fell. Her
strength ebbed, and the hinges of
her knees gave unexpectedly he
meath her. How long was it, she
asked herself, that Macdonald had
said men could live in a blizzard?
Staggering blindly forward, Sheba
bumped into the driver. He had
drawn up to give the horses a mo-
ments rest before sending them
plunging at the snow again.

young woman's ear. Never make

The team struck in the drifts,
fought through, and was blocked
again ten yards beyond. A dozen
times the horses gave up, answered
the sting of the whip by diving head
first at the white banks, and were
stopped by fresh snow-combs.
Pete gave up the fight He be-
gan unhitching the horses, while
Sheba and Mrs. Olson, clinging to

The girl paid no attention to
where they were going. The urge
of life was so faint within her that
she did not greatly care whether
she lived or died. Her face was
blue from the cold, her vitality was
sapped. She seemed to herself to
have turned to ice below the hips.
Numb though her fingers were, she
must keep them fastened tightly in
the frozen name of the animal. She
recited her lessons to herself like q

must-she must.

How to Cure Chapped
Skin in Winter

In warm weather no one suffers
from chapped hands or face as the
heat has a tendency to draw a nat
ural oily moisture to the surface. of
the skin which keeps it soft and
smooth. In winter the natural oils
of the body are prevented by the
cold from reaching the skin and as
a result chaps. roughness and even
chilblains may result. AS the chap
ped, bleeding and rough skin is hu
initiating and often very painful the
following valuable information will
undoubtedly be welcomed by many.
After washing always take great
care to Immediately dry the hands
and face. From your druggist get
small jar of Am-o-nized cocoa
cream and rub this well into the skin
at night before retiring. Every trace
of soreness will unusually vanish
after a single application and the
skin will become soft; velvety-
smooth and white Am-o-nized Cocoa
Cream costs little. is easy to apply
and has enormous sale at this time
of the year as 1t seems to contain
just the nourishment required TO
keep the skin in perfect condition
during the winter months. If YOU
know anyone who is troubled with
chapped skin you will be doing them
a great favor by calling this to
their attention. There is nothing bet
ter.

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

1t would be impossible to find
a more attractive. youthful,
dancing frock than this one for
the debutante or for the girl
who has not yet made her bow.
1t is just as charming and grace
full as can be while it is abso-
lutely simple withal. The little
bodice is made in the japanese
style that is always so pretty
and that also is so simple. The
skirt shows the new drapery at
the back which you may call a
hustle, but it is really more
graceful and attractive than the
hustle ever was or could be. As
you see the dress here, it is made
of a soft taffeta with trimming
of fur and with a little en-
broidery of beads that is very
pretty. Taffeta is exceedingly
well liked for young girls
dancing dresses and suits this
design peculiarly well. 1t would
be quite correct to omit the en-
broidery on the skirt and use
just a little on the blouse por-
ton or perhaps just merely to
outline the neck with some little
sprays of flowers worked out in
irridescent beads. You can use
any braiding or embroidery pat
tern for beads if you transfer
to tissue paper and work through
that as well as the material,
tearing the paper away when
the work is done.
For the I6-year size will be

self logically what you want to do

any idler or unpiloted dreamer or

Before going to work to-day, take
an inventory of yourself. Find out
just what your abilities are, just
what your desires are, just how
great is your earnestness, and then,
having studied your equipment,
march down to offer your services
with clear idea of what you have
TO offer.
The equipment anyone ought to

Now, when you set about enroll

ing advancement in your old work,
why not measure the job as we'll as

about the "fords," the bridges" the
