He went on:

Warren queried at the breakfast

NO, dear; of course you don't"
Helen said, smiling. "A man never
sees what woman does with her

That's because she always talks
such a lot about what she has to do
and then never does half of it,
Whats the matter, dear, are you
cross this morning?"
NO. only you make me tired some
times"
What was it you wanted me to
do-anything Important"
"H es, important enough. l wanted
you to do n job for me-take my
two suits out to the tailor and tell
him to sponge and press them"
Let Mary do it,"
NO, l will mott" Warren exploded.
The last time she did them-at your
ed terrible-not fit to wear"

the crease in the trousers wrong. oh,
Warren, it was funny, dear!"
"E es, very funny-when a man is
in a hurry to wear his clothes.
must say that your idea of a joke is
a scream. No more home tailoring
for me. thank, you"
Some men always press their
clothes and-save money"
'"They have more time than l
have, then. But, good heavens! what
one earth are you going to do to-day
that you can't take the time to leave
my suits?"
well, of course, 1 can do it,"
Helen parried. "Only that tailor lives
in such an out-of-the-way place, and
it takes so long to get to him.
You haven't answered me yet.
What are you going to do?"
Wv ell, Warren, to tell you the
truth, l am going downtown to eX-
change some Christmas gifts"
, Il thought so! The minute Christ
mas is over, you women have to get
right down into the shopping dis
! trict and begin all over again. l
should think that Christmas rush
would have been enough to do you
for awhile"
We'll. Warren. a lot of us got to-
gether and decided that we would
leave the checks in the gifts we gave
each other, and then if they didn't
suit we could exchange them. 1 like
to go downtown as soon after Christ
mas as can and get it over with; it
isn't so very pleasant, can tell you"
And l suppose" said Warren
with great sarcasm, that nothing
anyone gave you happens to suit
We'll, several things are duplicates,
and it seems only fair that if l
fancied something else more than
what was given to me I might just
as we'll have it,

The general opinion was that Mac

of his rival. He would not let the
case come TO a jury until the time
when Il conviction would have most
effect i'll the States, the gossips pre-
dicted. They did not know that he
was waiting for the return of Wally
Selfridge. The whispers touched
closely the personal affairs of Mac
donald. The report of his engage
ment to Sheba O'Neil had been de-
MED but it was noticed that he was
a constant guest at the home of
the Pagets. Young Elliot called
there too. Almost any day one or
other of the two men could be seen
with Sheba on the street. Those
who wanted to take sporting
chance on the issue knew that odds
were offered sub rosa at the Pay
Streak saloon of three to one on

Sheba rebelled impotently at the
situation. The mine-owner would
not take No for an answer. He
wooed her with a steady, dominant
persistence that shook even her
strong will. There was something

mentioned love to her, though there
were times when her heart fluttered
for fear he would. She did not
want any more complications. She
wanted to be let alone. So when
an invitation came from her little
friends the Husteds, signed by all
three of the children, asking her to
come and visit them at the camp
back of Katma, the Irish girl jumped
at the chance to escape for a time
from the decision being forced upon
her.
Sheba pledged her cousin to
secrecy until after she had gone
so that Miss O'Neill was able to slip
away on the stage unnoticed either
by Macdonald or Elliot. The only
other passenger was an elderly
woman going up to the Katma cam
to take a place as cook.
Later on the same day Wally Sell

reached Kusiak with important news
for his chief. He brought with him
an order from Winton, commissioner
of the general land office, suspend

of the charges against him.

Mallory that Macdonald went for
consolation when he learned that

A Simple Way To
Remove Dandruff

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruffI AT
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this.
Just get about four ounces of plain
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this Is all you will need), ap-
ply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
1t 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 com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandrur you may
have.
You will fnd all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better.-AdV.

RINGLING CIRCUS HORSES
FALL UNDER HAMMER

An important sale that will no
doubt attract attention among horse
men is announced by Heilbrunn &
Kahn, Inc, for Tuesday next. The
firm will sell 200 big seasoned horses
used during the past summer by the
Ringing Brothers Circus. The lot
is made up of the animals used in
hauling the heavy equipment. No
rink stock is included. Because of
freight congestion on the railroads
and the embargo on non-essentials it
is doubtful just what mode of trans
portation the big circus concern will
have to adopt next season.
The horses will be sold absolute
ly to the highest bidders without re-
serve. The sale will be held at the
Heilbrunn & Kahn Stables, SiNtieth
street and West End avenue, begin
ming promptly at 10 a. m. on Tues
day next. The lCiss, Doerr & Carroll
Company will officiate as auctioneers
