IDlTAROD HAS FEW PARALLELS IN HISTORY OF TERRITORIAL
 TOWNS, SAYS EXCHANGE

All ye that are weary and heavy laden, how would you like to live in a town that is incorporated, has so much money it does not know how to spend it, and is tax free and care free?
 Such enviable place is Iditarod city, in the heart of the Iditarod and Inno- ko placer mining and dredging dis trict, which will have a winter popu- lation of P and a summer population reaching into the hundreds.
 The town has $35OO in the treasury and revenues from Federal licenses amount to more than expenses, so there is no reason for making a tax levy. In fact, so flush is the town that ii is stated community electric light plant may be installed and juice furnished free to residents.

In strict justice TO the truth II must
be stated that only Counterman and
the woodsman hurriedly undressed.
The preacher was far slower and
quite noticeably embarrassed over the
unusual experience. The ragged boots
too large. the shabby trousers too
tight. the faded straw hat ridiculously
unbecoming. II was the queerest wad-

'I am afraid you will find 1t an
exaggerated pleasure, Miss Yardely.''
"Then 1t will be strictly for one
night only she said. Tomorrow
shall build a shack of boughs and
bark like one l watched an Indian
building down on the Peace ricer."
The girl went outside and after
sitting for quite a long time looking
In the fire, retired to the couch OF
spruce which she had prepared for
herself, and almost instantly fell
asleep.
Four hours afterward she awak-
ened suddenly and looked around
her. A rosy glow through the trees
proclaimed the dawn. The forest
was wonderfully still, and there
seemed no reason whatever for the
sudden awakening. Then a stream
of meaningless babble came through
the canvas wall of the tent. She sat
up instantly and listened. Plainly,
the patient was delirious, and the
sound of his delirious babble must
have broken through her sleep.
Three minutes later she was inside
the tent, her brow puckered with
anxiety.
Stane lay there with flushed face,
wide-open eyes that glittered with q
feverish light. For the moment he
was quiet, but whilst she still stood
wondering what she should do the
dilirium broke out again, a mere
babble of words without meaning
some English, some Indian, in which
she found only two that for her had
any significance. One was Gerald
Ainley's name and the other the
name of the beautiful Indian girl
whom she had seen talking with the
sick man down at Fort Malsun-
Misk odeed.

BEGIN HERE TODAY

Hubert Stane, discharged convict,
saves the life of Helen Yardely as
her canoe travels toward a danger
Gus waterfall. Gerald Ainley, one
time friend of Stane, is in love with
Helen, who is the niece of COVER
nor of the Hudson Bay Company.
The governor and Helen are visit
ing at a northern post of the COM
pany. Stane and Helen start to
walk the trail to the governors
camp while Ainley searches for
Helen. Gerald meets a half-breed
who tells him that he has seen Helen
and Stane. He accuses Ainley of
shooting at Helen as her canoe
passes along the river.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Seating himself upon a fallen tree
he scribbled hasty note to Sir
James Yardely, telling him that he
lad news of Helen and that he
oped very shortly to return to camp
with her, and having addressed it
gave it to the half-breed.
"There is no need for haste" he
said. 'I will reward you now, and
the great man whose niece the girl
is, will reward you further when you
take the news of her that is in the
letter. But you will remember not
to talk. I should say nothing about
what you saw up the river a few
days back. Sir James is suspicious
man and he might think that you
fired those shots yourself-in which
case" He shrugged his shoulders,
then taking out a ten-dollar note,
handed it to the half-breed, whose
eyes cleaned as he took it. CHOW"
he continued, shoulder your canoe
and come along to the river. |

carry your gun, and that sack of
yours"
He took the half-breed's gun,
picked up the beans, and in single
file they marched through the wood
back to where the Indian sat patient
1y waiting. On their appearance he
looked round and as his eyes fell on
the half-breef's face a momentary
flash came into them, and then as ii
passed he continued to look at the
newcomer curiously.
Ainley rapidly explained the situa-
tion and the Indian listened without
comment. He waited until the half
breed was actually afloat and out
of earshot, and then he spoke.
