Gordon Invites Himself to Dinner
and Does Not Enjoy 1t.
Big Bill and his companions reached
Kamatlah early next day. They re-
ported at once to Selfridge. It had
been the intention Of Wally to vent
upon them the bad temper that had
been gathering ever since his talk with
Elliot. But his first sarcastic ques-
ton drew such snarl Of anger that
he reconsidered. The men were both
sullen and furious.
The little man became alarmed. In
stead Of reproaches he gave them soft
words and promises. The company
would see them through. 1t would pro-
tect them against criminal procedure,
But above all they must stand pat in
denial. A conviction would be impos-
sible even if the states attorney filed
an indictment against them. Mean
while they would remain on the COM
pany pay roll.
Gordon Elliot was trained investi-
gator. Even without Holt at his side
he would probably have unearthed the
truth about the Kamatlah situation.
But with the little miner by his side
to tell him the facts, he found his task
an easy one.
Selfridge followed orders and let
him talk with the men freely. All OF
them had been drilled till they knew
their story like parrots. They were
suspicious Of the approaches Of Ri.

quarrel, Di. 1 admit forgot myself"
GAIL right. We won't. But don't
believe all the catty talk you hear,
Gordon"
"Tll try to believe only the truth"
He smiled, a little ruefully. "And 1t
isn't necessary for you to explain why
the curfew law applies to me and not
to Macdonald"
She was on her dignity at once.
'You're quite right. 1t isn't necessary.
But I'm going to tell you, anyhow. Mr..
Macdonald is going away tomorrow for
two or three days, and he has some
business he wants to talk over with
Sheba. He had made an appointment
with her, and didn't think it fair to
let your coming interfere with it."
Gordon took this facer with his
smile still working.
"I've got little business I want to
talk over with you, Di."
She had always been a young woman
of rather hard finish. Now she met
him fairly, eye to eye. "Any time you
like, Gordon"
Elliot carried away with him one
very definite impression. Diane in
tended .Sheba to marry Macdonald If
she could bring it about. She had as
good as served notice on him that the
girl was spoken for. ...
The young man set his square jaw.
Diane was used to having her own
way. So was Macdonald. Well, the
Elliots had will of their own, too.

The old miner went with him as a
guide to the big bend. Gordon had
no desire to attempt again Fifty Mile
swamp without the help Of someone
who knew every foot of the trail. With
Holt to show the way the swamp be-
came merely hard, grueling mush
through Doggy lowlands. -u
Weary with the trail, they reached
the river at the end of long day.
An Indian village lay sprawled along
the bank, and through this the two
men tramped to the roadhOuse where
they were to put up for the night.
Holt called to the younger man, who
was at the time in the lead.

Gordon turned. The old Alaskan
was offering a quarter to little half
naked Indian boy. Shyly the four.
year-old came forward, step at q
time, his finger in his mouth.
''What's your name, kidd" Holt
flashed look at Elliot that warned
him to pay attention.
"Colmac," the boy answered bash
fully.
His fist closed on the quarter, he
turned, and like startled caribou he
fled to a comely young Indian woman
standing near the trail.
With cleaning eyes Holt turned to
Elliot. "Take a good look at the
squaw," he said in a low voice.
Elliot glanced at the woman behind
whose skirts the youngster was hid
Ing. "She's not bad looking, if that's
what you mean," he said after they
had taken up the trail again.
"You amt the only white man that
has thought that" retorted the old
miner significantly.

Sheba Saws "Perhaps."

Obeying the orders of the general
In command, Peter took himself to his
den with the excuse that he had blue
prints to work over. Presently Diane
said she thought she heard one of the
children crying and left to investigate.
The Scotsman strobe to the fireplace
and stood looking down into the glow
Inc Goals. He seemed in no hurry to
break the silence and Sheba glanced
at his strong brooding face little ap-
prehensively. She knew Of only one
subject that would call for so formal
private talk between her and Mac
donald, and any discussion Of this she
would very much have liked to post
pone.
He turned from the fire to Sheba. It
was characteristic of him that he
plunged STRAIGHT at what he wanted
to say.
'I've asked to see you alone, Miss
O'Neill, because want to make con-
fession and restitution-to begin
WITH" he told her abruptly.
She had sense of suddenly stilled
pulses. 'That sounds very serious"
The young woman smiled family.
His face of chiseled granite masked
all emotion. It kept under lock and
key the insurgent impulses that moved
him when he looked into the sloe eyes
charged with reserve. Back of them,
he felt, was the mystery of purity, Of
maidenhood. He longed to know her
better, to find out and to appropriate
for himself the woman that lay behind
the fine veil of flesh. She seemed to
him delicate as a fame and as vivid.
There would come day when her in
nocent, passional nature would re-
spond to the love Of a man as a wait
Ing harp does to skillful fingers.

Greetings of New Year; by
Mabel K. Hall.

Here's to the youngster, 1918!
Good boy or not, remains to be
seen.
Signalling and kicking. he comes to
this earth,
Like many another great man at
his birth.
Pugnacious and ugly he seems just
at first.
This infantile temper we hope Is
the worst.
Let doctors and nurses but dress
him well down;
Let mother hands spank him to
gentler renown.
Let school ma'ams instruct him in
learning from books:
Let sweethearts inspire him to
soften his looks.
Let heart-aches and sorrow teach
lessons Of life;
Let fortune be friendly and grant
him a wife.
Though fighting in fury his young
blood he spends.
For pillage and plumber. he'll make
sure amends.
So, here's to the youngster, 1918.
May he grow into manhood with
strength fine and clean!
