resistible inclination to stray toward

resistlble inclination to stray toward
the butt of the revolver at his hip.
Drawing the skiff well in among the
fringe of scrub willows Hopkins
glanced back in the direction of the
houseboat, snarled out an impatient
exclamation and set off across the bot
toms. The woodsman rose and softly
/ followed; Swallowed him through the
tangie of bushes and vines and fallen
logs out to the River road; watched
him cross, pick his way up the bluff
and slip away among the trees of the
upland.
The unguarded safe, the bundles Of
money under the floor of the cabin at
: the homestead, crossed the woodsman's
mind. But there was a far higher
stake in his tense thought just then
than safes and bundles of money. The
frock coat and high hat were no sooner
well out Of sight than he sprang up
from where he lay in the thicket at the
edge of the bottoms and hurried back
to the skiff; slid it out from the will
lows and crossed the channel to the
island. There he hid it again and
slipped through the tangle of under
brush and driftwood to where he could
get view of the houseboat.
There reached him the dull sound of
footballs on the cabin floor, and the
tiny craft rocked slightly as some one
+, evidently crossed from side to side, but
! there was no sound of voices; from
which he concluded that the unknown
/ tenant was alone.
In the fast gathering shadows he
crept to the edge Of the island; crawled
with extraordinary care under the
hand rail to the diminutive forward
deck.
The door he had watched Hopkins
fumbling over he had locked-pad-
locked on the outside. He stood still

FumbIing Over He Had Licked
Padiocked on the Outside.
and listened some one was moving
about inside the cabin, and speck Of
light showed behind a narrow crack
between the door and the jamb.
Very guardedly he crossed the deck
and brought his eye close to the crack
lit commanded view of a narrow
section of the room. A candle was
alight somewhere at the side, and a
shadow-one Shadow-f1itted about
the floor. The shadow slid across the
section that he could see; deepened;
Disappeared and in its place-Texie.
She came to the door on the outside
of which he was crouched and tugged
at the latch, as she had probably done
many times since being left a pris-
oner, but the stout padlocked hasp
held firm. With an exclamation that
held just shade Of petulance, she
turned away.
He watched her till she passed out
of range of the crevice-doubtless to
sound the walls for some other means
of escape.
But the narrow opening had told
him what it heartened him much to
know. He took bullet from his
pouch; f1attened it between his teeth:
with his powerful fingers forced it
noiselessly into the keyhole of the
paddock in such a way as to make it
impossible to insert the key; damned
it so tight with the blade of his pocket
knife that nothing short of a lock-
smiths tools could have dislodged it.
Crawling along the gangway to the
after deck, he rendered the paddock
on the rear door equally useless; lis
tened a moment to the quick restless

Submission to the cold of the Arctic
has a different effect than might be
imagined. The man in danger of
death from freezing is oVertaken by a
rather pleasant lethargy.
In stopping for rest the uninitiated
often tarry too long, and on arising
wonder why the limbs refuse to func-
ton with their wonted suppleness.
After several such halts further prog
ress becomes struggle, and unless
a fire is available Immediately the
chances are very great that the man

writes: "For over two years I was
troubled with internal catarrh. I
read Pe-nu-na booklet and began
taking the treatment. Tongue
cannot describe how I suffered with
my stomach and the catarrh in my
head. I began to feel better as soon
as | had used four bottles and now
I cannot praise it enough. I now
enjoy as good health as ever and
would not think of doing without
Pe-ru-na."

Trade Wind

A trade wind is wind blowing more
or less steadily toward the thermal
equator and detected westwardly by
the eastward rotation of the earth.
Such winds are primarily produced by
the upward current of heated air at
the equator, and vary considerably in
their position and in their direction,
according to the season Of the year
and the influence Of the surface Of the
land of different regions. They are
steadfast in the Southern Hemisphere.

some localities the only timber is
aspen, commonly called poplar, scrub
spruce and stunted brush.
When a man faces so degrees below
zero in sleeping bag and canvas tent,
he requires a big log fire and abundant
fuel to keep it going. When the biz
gard sweeps down, man and beast are
compelled to seek shelter.
In the bitterest cold few lungs can
withstand the "scorching" atmosphere
that appears to scar them like flame,
while the blood is turning to ice.
Frozen" lungs are not uncommon.

years of age On the gentler slopes and

easily and cheaply gathered for the
pulp mills. Only trees three inches or
more in diameter would be taken.

'tMusher" in Arctic
in Constant Peril

Nenana, Alaska.-The "musher" in
the Arctic circle, where winter prevails
about eight months out of the year,
must never relax his vigilance If he
would survive the perils peculiar to
the region.
To the explorer, prospector, trapper
or hauler of mail and supplies who
must go north of the Yukon river ba-
sin, one of the greatest winter haz-
ards is lack of timber for firewood. In

and communist leaders who preach
destruction of constitutional govern
ment, destruction even of human life"
DRESIDENT COOLIDGE travelled
4 to New York last week and spoke
ated Press. The more important of
his statements related directly to Eu-
ropean affairs. He said he hoped
France would accept the Dawes COM
mittee report and that American capt.
tai would join in the loan proposed
for Germany. He thought that thus
the reparations question might be
definitely settled, and promised that
he would then try to bring about an
other world conference on disarma-
ment to carry on the work begun by
the Washington conference and to
take up the codif1cation of interna-
tional law with an attempt to estab-
lish the rules of warfare and to de-
termine the rights of neutrals. He
also Endorsed the Harding proposal for
American adherence to the world
court.
The President touched on the desire
for profits and the quest for easy
money, revealed in current govern
ment Investigations as symptomatic
Of the morbid financial state of mind
brought on by the war, and continued:
From all of this sordidness the af-
fairs Of government, Of course, suf-
fered. In some of it few public Off
GERS were guilty participants. But the
wonder is not that this was so much
or so many, rather that it has been
so little and so few.
1.-THE encouraging thing at present
is the evidence of a well nigh COM
plete return to normal methods of ac-
ton, and sane public opinion The
gravity Of guilt Of this kind is fully
realized and publicly reprehended.
There is an exceedingly healthy dis
position to uproot it altogether, and
administer punishment wherever COM
petent evidence Of guilt can be pro-
duced. That / am doing and propose
to continue"

BECAUSE of his interference" in
- the senate investigation of the in
ternal revenue bureau by suggesting
the employment of Francis Heney as
investigator, Governor Pinchot lost
the chance to sit in the Republican
national convention as delegate at
large from Pennsylvania. Representa-
tive Ware and others turned on him
for what they considered disloyalty
to the administration, and Ralph B.,
Strassburger of Norristown defeated
the governor by a large majority.
Pinchot blamed the vets. Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and Delaware all
elected delegates favorable to Cool
1dge and seemingly his nomination Is
an absolute certainty. Reports are
that he wants Frank Lowden of Illi-
nois as his running mate, and, failing
that, wishes Lowden to be temporary
chairman and to deliver the keynote
speech. 1t is interesting to note that
the Democratic national committee is
considering the selection of a woman
as temporary chairman of the national
convention in New York.

ID EALIZING that economic relations
IN between japan and America are
far more vital to the former than to
the latter, Japan's privy council is un-
derstood to have Endorsed the govern
ment's conduct in the immigration ex-
clusion matter. That is, continued
protest against the American exclu-
sion act but no retaliation. The Japa-
nese were still hoping that President
Coolidge would veto the measure, and
this he was asked to do by great
mass meeting in Osaka. Ambassador
Hanihara, meanwhile, explained to
congress that the words grave conse-
quences" in his note were not meant
to convey anything in the nature OF a
threat, but Representative Johnson,
chairman Of the house committee on
immigration, replied with a statement
that the action of congress had been
assured before the note was written
and that therefore the passage of the
exclusion clause was not due to re-
sentiment against the ambassadors
language.
