demonstrated that they would.

street she gave him a friendly little
nod OF thanks. Good OF you to take

Gordon respected her shyness and
moved Warily 10 establish his con-
tact. He let the talk drift TO imper-
sonal topics as they picked their way
out from the town along the mossy
trail. The ground was spongy with
water. on either side OF them ferns
and brakes grew lush. Sheba took
the porous path with a step elastic.
To the young man following she
seemed a miracle OF supple lightness.
They were ascending steadily now
along a pathway almost too indis-
t,nct TO follow. The air was aromatic
with pine from a grove that came
struggling down the side or gulch
70 the brook.

Elliot said. ''But / don't suppose II
matters. II we keep going we're
bound to come to the waterfall"
Beyond the boulder field the ridge
rose sharply. Gordon looked little
dubiously at Sheba.

The sky was clear again when the
Hannah drew In 70 the wharf at
Moose Head to unload freight
At the end Of the wharf he passed
Miss o'Neill., She wore no rubbers
and she had come to a halt at the
beginning OF the mud. After a mo-
mentary indecision she returned
slowly 10 the boat.
The young man walked up into the
town, but ten minutes later he

Gordon tore the paper wrapping
from his package and disclosed hall

The girl was visibly embarrassed

CHAPTER Nv.

TNOR an hour before the Hannah
ID reached Katma Miss O'Neil
Il was busy getting her little
brood ready. In that last half
day she was a creature of moods to
them. They too, like Sheba herself,
were adventunng into a new world.
Somehow they represented TO her the
last tie that bound her to the life she
was leaving. Her heart was tender
as a Madonna to these lambs so i'll
fitted to face a frigid waste. Their
mother had been good woman. She
could tell that But she had no way
of knowing what kind Of man their
father might be.
Sheba gave Janet advice about
where TO keep her money and when
to wear rubbers and what to do for
Billies cold. She put up a lunch for
them TO take on the stage. When
they said their sniffllng goodbys at
Katma she was Buspiciously bright
and merry.
The children waved handkerchief
as long as she could be distinguishe
by them. When they turned away she
went directly 10 her room.
Elliot was passing forward when
Miss O'Nein opened her stateroom
door TO go in. The eyes OF the young
woman were blind with tears and she
was biting her lip TO keep back the
emotion that welled up. He knew she
was very fond of the motherless chill
dren, but he guessed at an additional
reason for her sobs.
Gordon Elliot wrote letters, dawdled
over magazines and lounged alter
nately in the ladies' parlor and the
smoking room, where Macdonald
Strong, a hardware merchant from
Fairbanks, and a pair OF sour dough
miners had settled themselves to 9
poker game that was to last all NIGH
and well into the next day.
OF the two bridge tables all the
PLAYERS were old timers except Mrs
Mallory. Most Of them were younl
enough in years, but they had been o.
the North long enough TO know th'
gossip OF the country and its smal
politics intimately. They shared com
mon hopes OF the day when Alaska
would be thrown open TO industry anC
large population.

dead pull upon Elliot.
She had not voiced n cry, but the
face that looked up into his was very
white.
"You might have sprained your
wrist" he said lightly as he rose TO
examine the clin stu TO be nego-
tiRted.
Her dark eyes looked at him with
quick surprise. 80 l might" she
answered dryly.
Gordon was mountalneer enough to

The alternative was the cliff face.

MEXICANS STEAL CATTLE
 AND DRIVE ACROSS LINE

MORALES, July 2.-The firing across the line here is related indi- rectly to efforts taken here to stop an alleged era of cattle stealing by Mexicans. On his way home from a conference with American military men, Mexican civil officers and others regarding steps to stop thefts of cat tie here, Harry Saxon, rancher, saw two mounted Mexicans driving two head of cattle through hole cut in the fence on his ranch, which fence virtually coincides with the interna- tional boundary line.
 Saxon fired on these men and they fled. He reported the affair to the cavalry patrol stationed here as a part of the effort to eliminate cattle steal ing and the cavalrymen were riding toward the scene of the firing when fire was opened upon them.
 Feeling here is quite high, on the part of both Americans and Mexicans.

BY ELECTION
 OF DIR. R. H. H. BLOME

Dr. R. H. H. Blome has been elect ed director of vocational education in the state of Arizona by the state board of vocational education and the educator will take up his new duties on July 1. The board, in making the selection, has chosen the man who is perhaps the best qualified of any school man in the state, who is avail able.
 Dr. Blome for years was the head of the Flagstaff Normal school and brought that institution from posi- tion of insignificance to ora of promi- hence. When he was as the apex of his work, he attracted the enmity of some of the politicians of the state and was forced to resign.
 That he should be chosen for the work of giving vacations for men and women who need them and for the re- turning soldiers who have been de- prived by injury or sickness of his former calling, is eminently right and meets with the best judgment of the people of Arizona.-Tucson Star.

BURGLARS BREAK INTO
 ROOMS AT PINE HOTEL

At 1:30 Friday night two robbers forced an entrance into room at the Pine Hotel and succeeded in getting money.
 They broke the screen on the win dow of a room on the ground floor occupied by two lumber men, P. c. Dickinson and w. M. Clark. Crab ping the trousers of the two men they made nasty exit. Some little noise they made while going through the window aroused the occupants of the room, who got up, saw a form dis appear through the window, discov- cred their pants were gone, and don ming some old work clothes they went out through.the window after the bur glars. They could not find the bur- glars, but they discovered their pants on the ground minus about $50 which had been in their pockets.
 They got in touch with Night Mar shal Jim Byron. Mir. Byron searched for the men, but could not get any clews, except, as he was standing talk ing to Dave Lowell, night watchman for Babbitt Bros., he saw man in soldier clothes. Byron hailed him, but the man made off without answer ing, and was too fleet of foot for Byron to catch him. That he had anything to do with the robbery is, of course, merely guesswork.
 A little later, Marshal R. L. Neill, who had been called by Byron, saw a furtive looking figure close to an out going freight at the depot. The man started to run on being hailed, and Neill fired a shot or two in his gen. eral direction, which only made him run the faster.
 It was sarmised that the robbers would take freight east, and the authorities at Winslow were asked to be on the lookout, as result of which three hoboes were pulled off a freight there and the officials here notified. R. L. Neill and Constable John Par sons went to Winslow Saturday, but identification of the men was impos- sible, and they were turned loose.
