"We have nice cousins. haven't we"

ly dressed up and she indeed looked
ornamental.
She and all her family added great
ly to the attractiveness of the barn
yard. Their beaks and feet were black.
All the rest of their bodies were
white-and such a beautiful pure
white too.
"Yes, you have lovely cousins"
agreed Mrs. Hen. "Are they ornamen-
tai bantams too7
"Yes. they have the same family
name," said Miss Fuzzy White, "but
Of course their coloring is different.
"They have blush feet, and their
beaks are blue. Just below their ears
they have blue feathers-Quite love

''I suppose" said Mrs. Hen, "that

very grand way"
''Thank you for the compliment"
said Miss Fuzzy White. "Would you
like to meet my cousinsf They're not
quite as sociable as we are-not be-
cause they don't want to be-but be-
cause they're strangers to the barn
yard. They've only been a short time
with us, and 1t takes little while for
them to know the rest.
"Of course as they are our cousins.
we know them better than any of the
other creatures"
"rve never met them." said Mrs.
Hen longingly. II have always been
much honored to know your own fam
lily though"
1--WE like you" said Miss Fuzzy
White politely. and she was SO glad
to be able to make Mrs. Hen look so
happy and pleased for she had felt
rather badly for her speech about the
difference in length between those two
words beautiful and plain.
Mrs. Hen looked very Joyful. SWELL"
said Miss Fuzzy White. II think 1t
would be good plan to give a tea"
Mrs. Hen could hardly keep still
she was so happy. She stood on one
foot and then on the other. and finally
as she felt about the same on either
one, she decided to stand on both.
During this time Miss Fuzzy White
was thinking.
"Yes, I have 1t now" she said. "Will
you and your family have tea with us

o'clock7 Well have delicious worms

And that very afternoon a fash

room. You can meet me there after
you've satisfied your curiosity"
Five minutes later Milton Van
Sam rejoined his friend.
Il found her name registered in
Il big, masculine hand" he an
nounced. Probably her father
wrote it. She's Miss Long, of
Lake Forest. That's a fashionable
place near here, isn't it?"
Yes. a suburb of Chicago"
well, if her fathers here, why
didn't he register? And l don't see
why she's stopping at a hotel if she
has a home so near. l asked the
clerk who she was before looking
for her name in the register. But
he's an uncommunicative old owl"
His companion laughed, derisive-
ly. We'll, you are hard hit" he
exclaimed. Il wonder what Miss
Dora would say if she knew how
you've worked to find out the name
and pedigree of q fair stranger
whom you never saw before and
whom you will probably never see
again"
Dora wouldn't mind" Milton as
serted. confidently. She's not
that kind. She's no more silly about
such matters than 1 am. That's one
reason we get along so well to-
Sether. Now, let's look in at some
show for a while. What do you
say?"
Too Late For the Theater
"All right. But it's too late for
any theater. We might take in some
musical show or something of that
sort
At this point, further discussion
of Miss Dora Livingstone or of Miss
Cynthia Long was dropped for the
time.
But late that night, when the
two parted at the door of the hotel
Milton Van Saun to go to his
room here, Gerald to his bachelor
quarters a few blocks away-the
New Yorker remarked with what
he hoped was a casual manner:
DO you know, there was some
thing about that girl-that Miss
Long you know whom we saw to-
night-that reminded me a bit of

voice was curt and harsh. HE and
Holt We're robbing the bank when
Milton came back from the dance
at the club. The towards shot down
the old man like a dog. They'll hang
for il if it costs me my last penny,
so help me God"
You say it's the truth" she re-
torted scornfully. DO you think l
don't know YOU now-how YOU twist
and distort facts TO suit your ends :?
How long is il since your jackal
had him arrested for assaulting you
when Wally Selfridge knew-and
you knew-that he had risked his
life for you and had saved yours by
bringing YOU to Danes after he had
bandaged your wounds
That was different. 1t was part
of the game of politics we were
playing"
You admit that you and your
friends lied then. Is it likel- YOU
could persuade me that you're tell
ing the truth now?'
The big Alaskan shrugged. Be
lieve it or not as you like. Anyhow,
he's going back with me to kusiak
and Holt, too, if he's here"
An excited cackle cut into the
conversation, followed by q drawl-
ing announcement from the win
dow. Your old tillicum is right
here. Mac. What's the use of wait
ing? Why don't you have your
hanging bee now?"

attention to, Van" Gerald reminded
him. Il Said she was the sort to
dance well, and your only comment
was that she had a figure some
thing like Miss Livingstone's."
Well she has" Van Saun replied.
But l did not see her face until
now. l say, old man, 1 wish we
knew who she is
she's dressed in mourning-per-
haps she's a widow" Gerald sug-
gested.
Nonsense his companion scoffed
at the idea. ''All women in mourn
ing aren't widows, are they? And
that girls too young to have had
a husband. There are lots of other
relatives that one may lose besides
husband. Why, that girls not
twenty, l bet"
Il decline TO take you up on that"
Gerald Stewart laughed. Where
are YOU going?"
For his companion had started to
walk away.
Lets wander over and get a
nearer view," Milton proposed.
The pair strolled slowly, and
with apparent indifference, toward
the desk. AS they drew near the
girl received a letter from the clerk,
and, turning abruptly, came slowly
across the Office, her eyes fixed on
the envelope she held.
With sudden decision, Milton
Van Saun stepped in front of her
so quickly that the girl, starting
violently to avoid running into him,
dropped the letter. Before she
could pick it up Milton Van Saun
had lifted it from the floor, and,
with a bow. held it out to her.
"Oh, thank you" Cynthia Long
murmured, smiling her acknowl-
edgements.
Then as she saw the gleam of
admiration in the blue eyes gaz-
ing down into hers, she hurried
away without another glance.
Stewart Is Astonished
well, you have got a crust" Ger
aid Stewart exclaimed as his friend
rejoined him. You scared the poor
girl into dropping her letter. then
had the nerve to accept her thanks
as your due. If she knew that you
deliberately set out to startle her,
she'd despise YOU"
Il did not intend to startle her."
Milton denied. II was only seized
by an irresistible desire to hear her
speak or to see her smile. And 1
did. By George. what a smile! i
say, Stewart, the girls a stunnerl"
so you remarked before" his
companion reioined dryly. II agree
with you that she's a sweet look
ing girl. and evidently a lady. But
l cannot say that 1 rave over her
as you do-you the chap who, by
the way, remarked not long since
that you are not one of the gush-
ing sort
And I'm not" Van Saun insisted.
"Only when one sees a girl like that
one can but express admiration. l
say, let's find out who she is. Let's
take a squint at the register"
You can if you like" Stewart
said. I'm going into the smoking

"where have you cached the gold

Mac. What is this stuff about rob =
bin a bank and shootin' Milton!
You're under arrest for robbery
and murder"
Am 1? Unload the particulars.
When did 1 do it all?"
You know when. Just before
you left town"
Holt shook his head slowly. "No
sir. l can't seem to remember it,
Sure it amt some one else you're
thinking about? How come you 20
fix on me as one of the bold, bad
bandits?"
Because you had not sense
enough to cover your tracks. You
might just as we'll have left note
saying you did it. First, you come
to town and buy one of the fastest
dog teams in Alaska. Why?'
That's an easy one. l bought
that team to win the Alaska sweep

right or it would have won last time
l got to mulin' il over and figured
that cd Gid Holt was the dog
puncher that could land these

You bought it to make your get
away after the robbery" retorted
Macdonald.
Its a difference Of opinion makes
horse races. What else have you
got against us?"
I'VE found in your room one Of
the sacks that had held the gold YOU
took from the bank"
That's right. I took it from the
bank in the afternoon, where had
had it on deposit, to pay for the
team I bought. Milton's books will
show that. But you didn't find any
sack took when your bank was
robbed-if it was robbed" added
the old man significantly.

The
Yukon Trail
Continued
By William Macleod Raine

Slowly the light of reason came
back into his eyes. Sheba was
standing before him, his rifle in her
hand. She had struck him with the
butt of it.
Don't touch him! Don't you
dare touch him." she challenged,
He looked at her long, then let
his eyes fall to the battered race
of his enemy. Drunkenly he got
to his feet and leaned against a will
low. His forces were spent, his
muscles weighted as with. lead. But
Il was not this alone that made his
breath come short and raggedly.
Sheba had flung herself down
beside her lover. She had caught
him tightly in her arms so that his
disfgured face lay against her warm
bosom. In the eyes lifted 10 those
of the mine-owner was an uncon-
Querable defiance.
He's mine-mine, you muir
derer." she painted fiercely. If YOU
kill him. you must kill me first
The man she had once promised
to marry was looking at a different
woman from the girl he had known.
lThe soft shy youth of her was
Agone. She was 4 forest mother of
the wilds ready 20 fight for her
young. 4 wife ready to go to the
stake for the husband of her choice.
An emotion primitive and poignant
had transformed her.
His eyes burned at her the ques-
ton his parched lips and throat
could scarcely utter. so you
love him."
But though it was in form a ques-
tion he knew already the answer.
For the first time in his life he be-
gan to taste the bitterness of de-
feat. Always he had Won what he
coveted by brutal force or his stark
will. But it was beyond him to COM
pei the love of a girl who had given
her heart TO another.
Yes" she answered.
Her hair in two thick braids was
flung across her shoulders, her dark
head thrown back proudly from the
rounded throat.
Macdonald smiled. but there was
no mirth in his savage eyes. DO

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

Women who are contem-
plating a trip to the South
will find this design of especial
interest while it also is avail
able for the stay-at-homes be-
cause it can be copied in a
variety of materials. Here, it
is made of a fine, sheer cotton
voile with trimming of filet
lace and it is exceedingly dainty
and charming. You could copy
it in crepe de chine or in Geor-
gette crepe or you could copy
it in a soft satin or other silk,
or you could copy it in a fou-
lard. 1t will be pretty in all
these materials. There is really
just straight skirt and a simple
blouse, but the trimming gives
the tablier effect. You have a
choice of bell-shaped sleeves or
those that are cut to form their
own cuffs. Trimming can be
found adapted to any material
and you can use either a band
trimming or a contrasting ma
terial or embroidery or braid
outlining a simple braiding de-
sign.
For the medium size will be
needed, oN yards of material 27
inches wide, 5I yards SO, 5X
yards "A, with IS yards of
banding. The skirt is 2I yards
in width at the lower edge.
The pattern No. o64o is cut
in sizes from 81 to AZ inches
bust measure. 1t will be mailed
to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper on
receipt of fifteen cents.
