 So Hazel quoted, leaning over her husbands shoulder. In the bottom of his pan, shining among a film of black sand, lay half dozen bright specks, varying from pin-point size to the big ness of grain of wheat.
 That's the stuff," Bill murmured "It looks as if we'd struck 1t pretty fair. It's time, too-the June rise will hit us like whirlwind one of these days"
 About what Is the value of those little pieces?" Hazel asked.
 "Oh, fifty or sixty cents," he an- swered. "Not much by itself. But it seems to be uniform over the bar and I can wash a good many pans in days work"
 "I should think so," she remarked. 'It didn't take you ten minutes to do that One."
 "Whitey Lewis and I took out over two hundred dollars day on that other creek last spring-no, year last spring, it was," he observed reminis- gently. "This isn't as good, but it's not to be sneezed at, either. I think I'll make me a rocker"
 'I can help, can't I?' she said ea- gerly.
 "Sure," he smi-c l. "You help a lot, little person, just sitting around and keeping me company"
 "But l want to york;" she declared. i've sat around now till I'm getting the f1dgets."
 "All right; I'll give you a job," he returned good-naturedly. Meantime, let's eat that lunch you packed up here."
 In branch of the creek which flowed down through the basin, Bill had found plentiful colors as soon as the first big run-off of water had fallen. He had followed upstream painstak- ingly, banning colors always, and now and then a few grains of coarse gold to encourage him in the quest. The loss of their horses precluded ranging far afield to that other glacial stream which he had worked with Whitey Lewis when he was free lance in the North. He was close to his base of supplies, and he had made wages with always the prospector's lure of rich strike on the next bar.
 "1n the morning." said he, when lunch was over, 'I'll bring along the ax and some nails and shovel, and get busy"
 That night they trudged down to the cabin in high spirits. Bill had washed out enough during the afternoon to make respectable showing on Hazel's Outspread handkerchief. And Hazel was in gleeful mood over the fact that she had unearthed big nugget by herself. Beginners luck, Bill said teasingly, but that did not diminish her elation.
 AS the days passed there seemed no question of their complete success Bill fabricated his rocker, a primitive boxlike device with blanket screen and transverse slats below. It was faster than the pan, even rude as it was, and 1t caught all but the finer particles of gold.
 A queer twist of luck put the cap sheaf on their undertaking. Hazel ran splinter of wood into her hand, thus putting a stop to her activities with

CHAPTER XII.
 Jack Frost Withdraws.


 All through the month of January each evening, as dusk folded its son. Der mantle about the meadow, the wolves gathered to feast on the dead horses, till Hazers nerves were strained to the snapping point. Some times, when Bill was gone, and all about the cabin was utterly still, one, bolder or hungrier than his fellows, would trot across the meadow, drawn by the scent of the meat. Two or three of these Hazel shot with her own rife.
 But when February marked another span on the calendar the wolves came no more. The bones were clean.
 There was no impending misfortune or danger that she could point to or forecast with certitude. Nevertheless, struggle against 1t as she might, know ing 1t for pure psychological phenoN- ena, arising out of her harsh environ ment, Hazel suffered continual vague foreb0dings. The bald, white peaks seemed to surround her like prison from which there could be no release. From day to day she was harassed by dismal thoughts. She would wake in the night clutching at her husband. Such days as he went out alone she passed in restless anxiety. Something would happen. What 1t would be she did not know, but to her 1t seemed that the bleak stage was set for un- toward drama, and they two the pup pets that must play.
 When Bill drew her up close in his arms, the intangible menace of the wilderness and all the dreary monot- ony of the days faded into the back ground. But they, no more than oth- CTS who have tried and failed for lack of understanding, could not live their lives with their heads in an emotional cloud. For every action there must be corresponding reaction. They who have the capacity to reach the heights must likewise. upon occasion, plumb the depths. Life, she began to realize, resolved itself into an unend- ing succession of little, trivial things, with here and there some great event looming out above all the rest for its bestowal of happiness or pain.
 February and March stormed a path furiously across the calendar. Higher and higher the drifts piled about the cabin, till at length it was banked to the caves with snow save where Bill ehoveled 1t away to let light to the windows. Day after day they kept indoors, stoking up the fire, listening to the triumphant whoop of the winds.
 Snow, snow" Hazel burst out one day. Frost that cuts you like a knife. wish we were home again-or some place."
 "So do I, little person." Bill said gently. "But springs almost at the door. Hang on little longer. We've made fair stake, anyway, if we don't wash an ounce of gold"
 i "How are we going to get 1t all out7" She voiced a troublesome thought.
 Shoulder pack to the Skeena," he answered laconically. Build dugout there, and float downstream. Portage the rapids as they come"
 "Oh, Bill [" She came and leaned her head against him contritely. "Our poor poniesl And 1t was all my care lessness"

in his public statement and merely contented him
self with general observations, thus leaving it to
the American people to do their own guessing as
they have been obliged to in the past. Which inn
plies nothing more less than that the fellows
who foot the bills and the home folks whose hopes
and fears and deepest concerns are all centered in
the stupendous crisis abroad are still to be left in
the dark, prey to doubts that they are unable to
shake of.
At that, would rather have Mr.. Baker say
"alIs well' than "alls wrong" for if the time
should ever come-heaven forbid that he should
make such startling admission, it would surely
be time to give up the ghost. But we are free to
confess that the Secretary's words however pleas
ing they may seem on the surface, do not carry
any great amount of assurance with us. He has
told us repeatedly in times past that all was well
when we found out afterwards that it wasn't
However we need not speculate further upon our
War Secretary's remarkable faculty for painting
pretty pictures: General Woods warning is still
fresh in minds, and it was just the other day
that General Hag commanded the britishers to
stand fast and die in their tracks rather than
yield another foot of ground to the onrushing en-
envy. Surely it would seem that the crisis has not
yet been passed
1t would be interesting to learn just what Mr.
Baker actually told the President. We assume of
course, that he found difficulty in obtaining an
audience at the White House. That, if we are re-
liably informed, was more than General Wood was
able to do upon his return from France. 1t is said
that when the distinguished soldier spoke in conf
dence before the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs recently, the members so profoundly
impressed with his observations that they unani-
mously concluded that the President ought to as
certain the generals views first hand. According
lily, Senate Thomas, a Democrat and loyal sup
porter of the Administration detailed to pre-
sent the compliments of the committee to Presi-
dent Wilson and suggest that he send post haste
for General Wood. The senator performed his
mission and there the matter ended. The Presi-
dent had evidently decided to await the return of
Mr.. Baker for reliable information from the front.

CEDAR CITY RAISES QUOTA

TT is matter of congratulation and satisfaction
that the people of Cedar City have again fully
subscribed their quota in this, the third, Liberty
Loan. With the aid of the banks, it has been ar
ranged to make the quota secure, without, how
ever, oversubscribing greatly which was the case
with the last Liberty Loan. Due to the basis by
which the county quotas are determined Cedar
City fell heir to much larger slice of the loan
than other towns in this part of the state, accord
ing to population. But this did not deter her from
doing her part as assigned to her.
A few residents written up on the blue
cards" and may be investigated by representatives
of the treasury department later but in the main
the people were willing and anxious to do their
bit for Freedoms cause.
If the war continues for any considerable time,
everything seems to indicate that it will, there
will be more Liberty Loan bond issues, and it is
fitting that the burden be distributed evenly
and as equitably as possible and we are of the
opinion that the fairest way of ascertaining the
state, county and town quotas has not yet been
found The banking reserve is often misleading
standard of measure, since frequently the stock
holders in banks and also the depositors are peo-
pie residing at points quite distant from the town
and county where the bank is located.
1t would seem that the assessed valuations
would be better criterian to go by.

OUR COCKSURE SECRETARY"

WHATEVER else we think of Mr. Baker we
w are inclined to the opinion that he would
make an excellent poker player, for come what
may, nothing seems to disturb his equilibrium or
becloud his pleasant, placid countenance or modest
his SNUG sense of satisfaction in himself and his
Job. He is back from the front, yet did one not
know that he had actually set foot in the fighting
zone and witnessed the horrors of war at close
range the natural supposition would be that he
had Just returned from pleasure trip He is
simplicity personfed-n certain respects
AS was to be expected the Secretarys report
is most assuring in tone, if not in substance He
would have us believe that all is well along the
West Front, and by way of sticking a feather in
his own cap, he points with pride to Americas
participation in the war program to date He, of
course steered clear Of citing specific instances
