In gem eral. conduct of business was slow, oh account of the investigations in progress in Congress. when the Army bill was actually reached. we were very favorab!y received and literally treated.

 other great cities of the world have their self operating lunch rooms land other places of importance have , their automatic devices where GUS ] toner merely pushes button and I receives the purchase he desires. 1 But il remains for Japan to begin the operation during the Winter ! season of the self-operatiIs hotel, . a place where there is neither gar l con, nor matre de hotel, where the 1 table boy, bath boy and the dozen CT more other varieties of servants are absolutely lacking.

These mountain inns. ill the Japanese Alps" section where beautiful scenery abounds. are pop ular all during the Summer months l as Japanese go to them in crowds. and many foreigners. attracted by tte scenery and delightful climate. 1 spend their vacations climbing am org the mountains. In past sum mers it has been customary to close the mountain inns after success | ful Summers business had been con ! cluded. and consequently those who
 have travelled through the Japanese 1 Alps in the Winter have had to seek shelter in huts or wherever they
 could find it.
 This year. the inns, minus propri- etors and staffs. will have the latch keys out. The guests, arriving after hard tramp through the mount iains. will find a well stocked bin of l charcoal for the tiny JapanAse stoves. clean rooms which they will be expected to leave as clean as they find them. snd d well stocked ilarder. which will provide them with all necessities iu the way of food stuffs.
 A pT.ee list will announce the price of each sort of canned goods in big pantry. and the price per scuttle of charcoal. and all the other
 articles which will be available.
 When the guests leave it will be up
 to them to deposit the money for the amount of goods they have used lard what they think is right for the 1 hotel bill, in a big metal box. which will stard iii a corner of the office. i Skiing, mountain climbing and to- Ibogganmng in the snow around

CHAPTER I. Through the Mist of Dawn


 Sallie Peck was almost the last or the employees to leave the side en- trance of the Fair Deal Five -&-Ten but she seemed in no hurry as she stopped along through the mud with none of her usual buoyant elasticity. It wasn't the tedious day behind the counter which had dulled her spirits. for two long years of them stretched in the past and aithosgh they had kept her young body slim and her pretty little face pale they had not taken the glint from her ruddy gold hair nor the snap from her deep blue eyes. It was just the general futility of things.
 Had any still. small voice dared to insinuate that this general futility was summed up in the back of her mind in six feet of solid brawn with curly brown hair and twinkling hazel eyes she would have combated the thought with scorn and vet her feet Jagged more slowly as she approached the lighted window of Zimmer's fur niture store.
