Both Lenore and her mother seemed
in a wonderful mood. The ninety-day
journey on those far-stretching sunlit
waters seemed to promise only happi-
ness for them.
They had dressed according to their
idea Of the occasion. Lenore wore a
beautifully tailored MILDLY suit that
was highly appropriate for summer
seas, but was nothing like the garb
that Eskimo women wear in the
fall journeys in the Oomiacs. Mrs.

deck. She seemed a trifie more erect,
| her gray eyes singularly wide open.
Ned. dear, I wonder if that fellow
made a mistake when he pointed out

stiffly. Il want to be sure I've got

/ Il didn't know. You can't ever tell
about such men. Ned; you know that
very well. OF course. if it is the one
you intended for me, I'm only too de-
lighted with it.
It's really the best on the ship. It's

course, you can have the one on the

That's the only other one? Ned,

I'm sorry to say I'm not going to

At once she returned to her room;
but the little scene was not without

most of the essentials for such jour
ney. And Bess' big, plain bag was
packed full of the warmest clothes she
| possessed.
Bess did not stand among the
happy circle of Neds friends. Her
mother and sister had come down
to the dock to bid her good-by, and
| they seemed to be having a very
| happy little time amongst themselves.
The captain was almostt ready to
| start the launch. McNab, the chief
| engineer, was testing his engines;
| Forest, his assistant, stood on the
deck; and the negro COOK stood grin
ming at the window of the galley. But
presently there was an abrupt cessa-
| ton of the babble of voices in the
group surrounding Ned.
A tall man was pushing through
| the crowd. politely asking right Of
way, his black eyes peering under
silver brows. For some inexpIcable
reason the sound of frolic died be-
fore his penetrating gaze.
But the groups caught themselves
at once. They must not show fear
/ prophets eyes. They spoke to him,
wishing him good day, and he re-
turned their bows with faultless cour-
tesy. An instant later he stood be-
fore his son.
Mother couldn't get down." God
frey Cornet said simply. "She sent
her love and good wishes. A good
trip, Ned-but not too good a trip"
Why not too good atrip?"
"a little snow, a little cold-may-
be a charging Kodiac bear-fine medi-
cine for the spirit, Ned. Good luck!"
He gave his hand, then turned to
extend good wishes to Mrs. Harden
worth and Lenore. He seemed to
have a queer, hesitant manner when
he addressed the latter, as if he had
| planned to give some further, more
| personal message. but now was re-
| considering it. Then the little group
| about him suddenly saw his face
| grow vivid.
Where's Miss Gilbert-?"
The group looked from one to an
other. AS always, they were paying
/ the keenest attention to his every
word; but they could not remember
hearing this name before. Miss Gil
bert?' his son echoed blankly. ''Oh,
you mean the seamstress-"
''Of course-the other member of
your party"
She's right there, talking to her
mother"
Cornet walked courteously to the
girls side and extended his hand.
Good luck to you, and a pleasant
journey" he said. smiling down on
her. And, Miss Gilbert, 1 wonder
if 1 could give you a charge"
III do my best-anything you
ask"
L want you to look after my son,
Ned. He's never been away from
the comforts of civilization before
and if a button came off, he'd never
know how to put it on. Don't let
him come TO grief, Miss Gilbert. I'm
wholly serious-I know what the
North is. Don't let him take too
great a risk. Watch out for his
health. There's nothing in this world
like a womans care"
III remember all you told me-"
Bess told him simply.
Thank you-and a pleasant voy-
age"
Even now the Adventures were
getting aboard. Mrs. Hardenworth
was handing her bag to Knutsen-
she had mistaken him for a cabin
boy-with instructions to carry it
carefully and put it in her stateroom;
LenOre was bidding a joyous fare
well to some of her more intimate
friends. The engine roared, the
water churned beneath the propeller,
the pilot called some order in a
strident voice. The boat moved easily
from the dock.

Nearly $450,000 was realized by the
State from the gasoline tax during
July, according to a report by Charles

division
Although officials had estimated the
receipts would exceed $500 900 for the
month. the amount of the excess was
surprising.
During August the State collected
$439 33S.03 for July sales and 81 ,63024
