the cotton belt. A tremendous amount
of work has been done by the Ameri-

of emphasizing the vital Importance
of the erection of these warehouses
and of their control and ownership
by the farmers, merchants, bankers

more and more convinced that if the
South desires to obtain a fair price
for cotton it should put itself in po-
sition to finance the marketing of it
both at home and abroad. Our peo-
pie have for years been accustomed to
financing the growing crop, and of
recent years they have learned how
to hold their cotton after it has been
ginned and baled, over a period of
temporary distress. They ought to go
one step further and finance it until
it gets into the hands Of the spinners."

fallen. BEETLES stopped long enough to
grip him by the slack Of his furs, then
headed for a pile of cordwood already
occupied by number of his comrades.
Yellow Fang, doubling after one of the
dogs, came leaping back. The fleeing
animal, free Of the rabies, but crazed
with fright, whipped BEETLES of his
feet and flashed on up the street.
Malemute Kid took a flying shot at
Yellow Fang. The mad dog whirled q
half air spring, came down on his back,
then, with single leap, covered half
the distance between himself and Bet
ties. ..
But the fatal spring was intercepted.
Lon McFane leaped from the woodpile,
countering him in midair. Over they
rolled, Lon holding him by the throat
at arms length, blinking under the
fetid SLAYER which sprayed his face.
Then BEETLES, revolver in hand and
coolly waiting chance, settled the
combat.

remarked, rising to his feet and shak-

talked long to little purpose.

zie, "supposing they had fought?"

sion Of Nulato, a thousand miles or 80
down the Yukon, thus being Of much
higher caste than the common Siwash,

1t was a warm winters day for Forty
M'le-a day In which the sky, filed
with heaviness, drew closer to the
earth, and the mercury sought the un-
wonted level of 20 below. But there
was no cheer in the warmth. There
was little air in the upper strata, and
the clouds hung motionless, giving sui
len promise Of an early snowfall. And
the earth, unrespOnsive, made no prep
aration, content in its Information.
When the water hole was reached
BEETLES, having evidently reviewed the
quarrel during the silent walk, burst
out in final "'Twa'n't called for"
while Lon McFane kept grim silence.
Indignation SO choked him that he
could not speak.
! Yet deep down, whenever their own
wrongs were not uppermost, both men
wondered at their comrades. They
had expected opposition, and this tacit
acquiescence hurt them. It seemed
more was due them from the men they
had been so close with, and they felt
vague sense of wrong, rebelling at
the thought Of so many Of their broth
ers coming out, as on gala occasion,
without one word Of protest, to see
them shoot each other down. 1t ap-
peared their worth had diminished in
the eyes Of the community. The pro-
ceedings puzzled them.
