able to make the cabin before the.
fall of night.
His woodsman's senses predicted
a bitter night
Through the black hours he
would have to fight on sleep so that
he could mend the fire and cut
fuel.
Late afternoon: already the shad-
ows lay strange and heavy in the
distant tree aiSles. And all at
once he paused, thrilled, in his
tracks.
A little way to the east, ION the
bank of small creek, his. father
and his traitorous partner had once
had a mining claim-a mine they
had tried unsuccessfully cooperate
before Bronson had made Ibis big
strike
They had built a small cabin, and
for nearly thirty years it had stood
moldering and forgotten.
Exultant and thankful, Bill turn
ed in his tracks and mushed over
toward it.
There was plenty of heart-break-
! ing work to do when Bill finally
reached the little cabin. He
couldn't force open the door, SO he
hacked a hole in it through which
he entered.
After looking about, he turned to
his toll of making a fire just outside
the hole
Tired out, he climbed inside
again and lay down on the dry dirt,
putting his arm under his head.
All at once he was aware that
old cigar bon on a shelf against
the wall.
/ AS he reached to seize it, he had
a distinct premonition of misfor-
! tune
1t contained a single photograph.
1t was a typical old-fashioned
! photograph-two men standing in
stiff and awkward poses in an old
| fashioned picture gallery-printed
I in the time-wOrn way.
/ One of the men was his own IA
/ Their. And he stared at the other
! face-a rather handsome, thin
Tipped, sardonic-eyed face-as if he

/ But instantly he knew it could
not be Harold Lounsbury. Already
he knew. 1t was TO other than
Rutherford, the man who slew his

He knew now why Harold Louns-

ICE HARVEST rs
BEGUN IN MOLINE
Especial Moline Service

Ice harvesting was begun in earn
est at Moline Saturday with nearly
one hundred men on the job. How
long the harvest will last is I'M
certain. due to the mild weather of
yesterday and today, and the pre-
dictions of the weather man for to-
morrow
The Midland Ice & Fuel company
is cutting ice at Fifty-fourth street,
Moline, and the Moline Ice company
has marked off its field at Water
town. The Moline Consumers COM
pany was unable to start cutting at

you can claim half OF it." Har-
old was whispering eagerly into
Virginia's ear. You were with Bill
when he found it,"
Il can-but 1 WON'T she replied,
coldly.
Gold, gold, gold" he whispered
to himself. Heaps and heaps of
it-what I've always hunted. And
Bill had to find it That devil had
to walk right into it."
He was sickened by the thought
that except for his own cowardice
he would have accompanied them
into the den. Then he would have
been in position TO claim half the
mine-and get 1t. too.
He found a match. The white
skeleton lay just at his feet
He drew back, startled, but in
stantly regained his poise. He
knelt with unexplicabfe intentness.
He, too, saw the CHASTITY wound and
its grim connection with the rusted
pick. And he bent, slowly. like a
man who Is trying to control an
unwonted eagerness, lifting the
pick in his arms.
Oh, it was easy to handle and
lift! How naturally it swung in
his armsi What a deadly blow
the cruel point could inf1ict!
XIV.
Bill made plans for an early
start to his Twenty-three Mile
cabin.
III leave before dawn-as soon
as 1t gets gray" he told Virginia
as he babe her good night. IN
come back the next day, with a
backload of. supplies. And with
the little we, have left, we have
enough to go on. We can start for
Bradleyburg the day after that"
Virginia took no pleasure in bid
ding him goodby.
Her voice sank almost to a whis-
per, and her tones were sober and
earnest. I'll pray for you. Here's
my hand, Bill"
He CROPPED for it, found it at last ;
1t was swallowed in his own palm.
and the heart of the man raced
and thrilled and burned.
He mushed on, his snowshoes
crunching on the white crust. The
powers of the wilderness gave him
good speed-almost to the noon
hour
Then he was suddenly aware that
the fine edge of the wilderness ST.
! lence had been dulled. There was
faint stir at his ear drums. The
stir grew to a faint and distant
murmur, the murmur to a long
swish like a million rustling gar
ments. A tree fell, with a crash
far away. Then the wind smote
him.
1t was from the southeast
No man of the Northwest prov
inces is unacquainted with this
wind. 1t is prayed for in the spring
because it's breath melts the drifts
swiftly, but it is hated to death by
the traveller caught far from his
cabin on snowshOes.
! 1t did not occur to Bill to turn
back. Already he was nearly half
way to his destination. The food
supplies had to be secured, sooner
or later; and when the Chinoob
comes no man knows when it will
go away. He mushed on through
the softening snow.
The truth suddenly dawned upon
him that he was face to face with
one of the most uncomfortable sit
uations of all his years in the for
est. He didn't believe he would be

Fined $1OO Each

U. S. Deputy Marshal H. D. Camp bell last night directed successful raid on three houses along the water front and captured enough moonshine to tax the storage capacity of the marshal's office.
 The biggest haul was made in the house kept by Mary V. Johnson where the officers got IT bottles of beer and also found as many empty bottles which indicated that business has been very good.
 At the house of Pearl Herold about 15 bottles of beer were found. In this house there were also a large number of empty bottles. While the officers were making further search Pearl made an attempt to destroy the evil dence, and did manage to get all of the booze into the bay with the exception of six bottles which were rescued bySteve Grant.
 While MT. Campbell was searching the house of Mrs. R. Valleck the woman took teapot to the hy- drant and started to fill it. The mar shal took it away from her and found that it contained real whiskey.

Human Skull Is Found
 Near Town; May Be
 That of Chris SChefStad

A human skull which was prob- ably tha of Chris Schefstad who dis appeared near Wrangell in 1913 was found recently near Elephants Nose by a party of hunters composed of w. F. Hurley, Laurence Taylor and William (Toots) Lewis Jr Schefstad was trapping in the vicinity of Ele- plants Nose when he disappeared and although several searching par ties went out to look for him they failed to find him and the general be- lief was that that he had been mur- dered. He was an uncle of Mrs. E. P Walker and was 56 years of age
 The finding of the skull was the cause of fifty dollars changing hands. A day or two after the party returned Toots Lewis reported that he had shown the skull to a doctor and that she had declared that the skull was not that of human being. But re- gardless of this, w. F. Hurley, Rev. Father Gallant and numerous other laymen declared that in their minds there was not the slightst doubt that the skull was that of a human being
 Edward Kearsley. upon learning that Hurley persisted in believing it was a human skull, offered to bet him $50 that it was not a human skull. Hurley put up the money in less time than it takes to tell about it. Guy Skymans held the stakes.
 J. E. Worden was selected as a dis interested party to send the skull to the Smithsonian Institute for an opinion. MT. Worden received a re- ply on the Queen Saturday. The scientists at the Smithsonian Insti ute expressed not the slightest doubt that the skull was that of a human being. They further stated that it was that of man between 50 and 60 years of age who was not very strong physically.

Memorial Day Was Fittingly
 Observed

Memorial Day was fittingly observed in Wrangell by an ex- cellent program, and the decora- tion of the graves of dead soldiers and sailors in the Redmen's cemetery. The day was one of bright sunshine-an ideal day for paying tribute to the nations dead.
 The Redmen's hall was we'll filled. Seats had been reserved at one side for the American Legion and the Redmen, and a good-sized chorus occupied places near the piano. After the en- trance of the Redmen the au- dience sang Star Spangled Ban ner,' and the members of Merlin Elmer Palmer Post, No. 6, en- tered. Post Commander N. Nussbaumer then took charge of the program.
 In his opening address Mr. Nussbaumer paid a beautiful tribute to the nations soldier dead. He spoke feelingly of the final roll call and the Post gave the salute to the dead.
 A Memorial Day program in Wrangell would not seem con- plete without remarks by Mr. F. H. Gray whose interest in the proper observance of Memorial Day has always been evident. MT. Gray spoke of our great debt of gratitude to those who died that the nations liberty might be preserved.
 Rev. H. P. Corser then read "A Rendezvous With Death, a literary gem which was composed during the world war by Allen Seegar, and apoem of his own con- position as an answer to Seegar's poem. Mr. Corser gave his poem the title "A Rendezvous With Life,' and it merited the ap- plause which it received.
 The address of the day was de- livered by Rev. Robert Joseph Diven, D.D. Dr. Diven's utter ances were intensely patriotic. However, he sounded note of warning and drove home some plain truths.
 Three pupils of the Wrangell public school took part in the program in a most creditable manner. Miss Margaret McCor- mack recited Memorial Day." by Edgar Guest. Miss Catherine Matheson gave a recitation en- titled 70 Captain, My Captain by Walt Whitman. Elton Eng strom delivered Lincoln's Gettys- burg address.
 The march to the cemetery was led by the Native band followed by Merlin Elmer Palmer Post No. 6, American Legion. The Redmen marched behind the Legion and then came the citi- zens.
 At the cemetery the Post Con- mander took charge of the im- pressive ceremonies. The graves of the dead soldiers and sailors were strewn with flowers. The firing squad, in charge of Steve Grant, fired three volleys over the graves, and America was sung. Staff Captain M. Jaynes gave the closing prayer and w. F. Hurley sounded "Taps.'
 The entire Memorial Day ob- servance was carried out in manner that reflected great credit upon the Legion.
