the curls on Esther's forehead as she
finished drying her last plate and
hung up her dish towel. Now I can

In a corner of the big kitchen were
her rod and reel. She picked them up
and was soon down at the boat landing.
Esther was helping out at the big
hotel in the woods. September was
the season for hunters and fisher
men, so extra help was needed. and
Esther, who lived with her family on
small farm nearby, needed money,
so she hadn't started to school yet
Esther rowed with firm, quick
strokes across the lake to little in

boat was a queer old fellow some of

A week later the ''old duck' left.

A MINING pioneer of Vancouver,
Charles F. Shaw, has discovered
a deposit of chrome iron containing a
large percentage Of platinum. The de-
posit is on the banks OF the Tulaman
River, British Columbia, and the news

been staked already. Platinum from
Tulaman is not a new development:

from other deposits in this region. Mr..
