back upon 1t in the light Of another
day. But no, there were the roses. He
bent his face down and caught the
aroma OF their breath.
Let them be-" he said. ''They will
last another day"
The Boss made no reply. To him
they were merely faded roses. He was
sitting on the doorstep about to light
his pipe when the younger man called
him. With the freshly filled pipe in
one hand, the unlighted match in the
other, he rose and stepped back into
the cabin. The Pearlhunter was
standing before a small hair-covered
trunk, scarcely bigger than an ordi-
nary suitcase of the present day. 1t

fore when he came up from the river
and found his mother diving. It's con-
tents seemed to indicate that they had
been rummaged through by some one
whose haste had been great-doubt-
less by his mother. 1t hurt him to re-
call the cause Of that haste. The
bloodstained glove she had held in her
hand lay uppermost, probably tossed
there by one Of the river men.
"It's time to know what's in this
trunk"
A certain tenseness In his voice es-
capped the Boss.
Don't y'u?"

The Boss was In the act of scrap'ng

around out of the tail of his eye, but
whatever his thoughts, ne made no
comment.
"First of all. here's this glove" the
young man went or. lifting the glove

The Boss threw away the stub OF

The other stood considering 1t; laid

from the trunk. 1t proved to be

The young man at the oars made no
reply to these remarks. He was think
ing Of that bit of flaming cloth behind
the chink at the cabin. For moment
the impulse came on him to tell the
Boss, but he decided to keep his own
counsel
The moon had poked her round face

the DINNER for the moonlight, little
square of luminous yellow set In the
gray and ragged logs. Full Of the big
news he bore. the young man hurried
up the, slope The pearl almost
seemed to become creature OF sense
and sympathy; to feel warm against
him; the luster of 1t to shine through
his pocket.
When within few feet of the door
he heard his mother cough-hissing
whistling; choky. He dropped the fish
and darted in at the door.
She stood stopped in front of her
chair, clutching the table. Her hand
moved over the cloth as IL trying to
write. Blood was pouring from her
mouth and falling to the floor. He
sprang at her. She clutched his arm;
hung to him. He would not have be-
fieved 1t possible she had such force
In her fingers. She struggled painful
ly to choke back the blood; then
strove pitifully to speak. No word
came-only that awful whistlng hiss
Ing gasp. He saw the luster die In
her eyes--the eyes that In their day
had been so wonderful They were
trying hard to tell him something
words her lips were not able to
frame. He strove to read their mes
sage. In vain! There came last
gasp; her body suddenly stlffened,
quivered, relaxed--and he eased her
back into the chair. The Iron-Gray-
Woman was dead.
The Pearlhunter raised her hands
to cross them on her lap. Some OBJ
5ect fell from the lax fingers to the
floor. 1t was soldiers glove, stiff
and widowed with age.
Turning to lay it upon the table, he
stood startled and staring. His cry
brought the old Boss to his side. Two
words, scrawled in blood on the closh,
glazed up at them:
''Your father"
There had been a further attempt
to write, but the effort had only re-
suited in scrawl, impossible to de-
cipher.

, A safety razor and stropping B device combined m one

Stropping-thats the real secret of shaving comfort!
 Look at a razor edge under microscope and you will see hundreds of tiny saw teeth. More than 1900 of these teeth have been counted on an ordinary safety razor blade. Shaving bends these saw teeth out of line, makes them irregular. These irregular teeth catch in the beard, pull the tiny hair follicles and scrape the skin. That's what usually makes shaving so unpleasant, so annoying.
 You don't need to put up with the discomfort of fast dulling blades-nor with the bother and expense of putting in blade every SO often. You can insure a fresh, keen edge for every shave if you use the AutoSuop Razor.

 Don't put up any longer with the pull and scrape of unstropped blades. Begin tomorrow to get the comfort of a "new," sharp, shaving edge every morning. Ask your dealer about the AutoSuep Raza i trial plan.

 That annoying pull when the razor fails to cut cleanly-the painful scraping that often results when you bear down too hard-the bother and expense of putting in a new blade every so often all these troubles can be traced directly to razor blade that has lost it's first keen edge.
 No shaving edge can keep it's original kcenness for more than a few shaves- not without stropping.
