Someone was approaching. "But

Lets see what Uncle Pace says"
Once more that impressive mask had
returned to the girls face, and she
turned abruptly toward the tall man
who approached them.
Pace Morales had probably looked
much the same for thirty years. He
was slender-almost gaunt. His skin
was a kind of pallid white that ac-
cented the blackness of his eyes and
his thinning hair. The hands were
small and carefully kept. and his in
frequent smile held a charm. His
eyes, intelligently alert, rested for a
moment on the big Americans face,
then passed to his niece, and when
he spoke the voice was deep and

CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON
The Northern Gate

Residents of Churchill, Manitoba,
most northerly seaport in Canada,
we're happy Monday when the French
steamer Sirentz nosed into the har-
Dor and began taking on a cargo Of
grain, for it marked an epoch of the
far north.
For several years crews of men
have worked to extend the railroad
line north to Hudson Bay and new
outlet to the sea. Out of the bay
and around to the east it is a COM
paratively short journey to Europe
and wheat shipped by that method
will travel fewer miles to England
than if shipped by any other route.
The Importance of the Hudson Bay
route is nlinimized, of course, by the
shortness of the navigation season in
that latitude. The ice hardly goes
out before May or June and it be-
gins to freeze again in September or
October. Nevertheless, it is impor-
tant since it gives the dominion one
more link in the chain of commerce.
The development is of particular
interest to Bismarck folk for the rea-
son that home-bred boy played
large part in constructing the mus
keg' line which brings commerce to
the seaport. It always has been pos
sible to take steamer into Hudson
Bay in season but there was little
reason for doing so as long as the
only business there was that offered
by fur-trading posts.
But the strength and genius of
men like Harry Mclean, who once
dreamed of the future as he watched
bull trains vending their way from
Bismarck to the Black Hills, has made
a dream come true for Canada.
1t took more than skill and money
to build that railroad line. It took
brains and perseverance and, above
all, the ability to dare and the will
to win. Bismarck should and does
rejoice at the improvements which
have come to Canada as the result of
opening the port at Churchill. 1t
takes pardonable pride in the part
her son played in that venture.

Political Augurs
New York Times)


From the Summer session of the
Colleges of Political Augurs prophe-
cies of curious radiance are to be ex-
pected. Before the campaign begins
it is as easy as lying to tell how II
is sure to end. Whoever has studied
the vaccinations of these quadren-
NAL Merlins finds an essential har-
mony in their methods. When you
think of the name of a State, claim
it. National Committeeman and SEN
ator Cohen of Georgia is a more or
iginal and profound locker into the
seeds of time. He traces to their
sources great contemporary economic
and financial movements. He takes
an instantaneous census of public
opinion. He POUNDS himself upon i'm
pregnable fact" clairvoyantly OBJ
served. Thus he is able to give rea-
sons for the faith that is in him and
the prediction that is out of him:
1t is an indisputable fact that
nine out of every ten people be-
lieve that Governor Roosevelt is
to be the next President of the
United States, and the acceptance
Of this belief has brought re-
newed hope and confidence in the
future. The squirt in the stock
market and the moderate rise in
commodity prices are the direct
results of the genuine belief on
the part Of the people that a
change in leadership will be help
full in all directions.
National Committeeman Julian OF
Ohio expresses the same interesting
view. 1t is novel, but may have its
dangers. For years the Republican
party was supposed to be the favorite
OF Fortune and Providence, the guard
OF wealth. the cause and concomi-
tant OF prosperity. In the last two
years or more events have shaken
sadly the long superstition. The
mere mention of it tends to arouse a
too general savage humor. Are the
luck-slgn and the cornucopia now to
be bestowed upon the Democratic
party, so long believed to draw its
best nourishment from lean times?
This theory and these decorations
seem premature. Suppose it should
turn out to be only phantom OF
false morning and not a genuine ris-
ing OF the sun at which Governor
Roosevelt has officiated as Chant
icleer?
AS citizens, Democrats must be as
tickled as Republicans to see better
times coming back. AS politicians
they might wish that the happy mo-
ment were postponed until after the
election. Then that old friend, post
hoe. ergo propter hoe, might get to
work. Meanwhile, the Republicans
perk up. If there is any prosperity
IN sight, they know where it came
from, who is responsible for it and
alone capable Of nursing it to per-
lection. The Western Democrats may
be little perturbed by this assumed
Democratic interest In any other than
the livestock market; but, after all
East Is East and West Is West, and
political chart-makers are always ex-
cusable, and political augurs must
grin at one another at least as often
as their Roman precursors.

son would be more than justified in

"What other lords of the earth do

"The rest" replied Aunt Clara,

of course, your host, Don Bob"
Bob Harkness!"
"Yes. Out here he is Don Bob.
But you probably know him we'll"
mo. Not we'll at all. I couldn't
have been more than six years old
when / saw him last. I remember
man with black hair and eyes that
were gray. Eyes that always seemed
smiling, as if at some secret jest.
And soft, slow voice. I remember
wondering whether he was happy or
sad. He took me up once in his arms
and talked to me, but can't recall
one word he said. I must have been
watching those eyes, for I've never
forgotten them. Where he and my
father first came together I never
knew. Is Don Bob raising cattle?"
"Cattle and few horses" replied
the major. I'm his spare time he is
director of both banks here. But he
comes and goes. Often absent for
days out on the range. He has land
and live stock on both sides of the
border line"
The voices of arriving guests
called the major and his wife away,
and for the first time since morning
Radcliffe found himself alone with
the girl. The mask of aloofness and
detachment had gone. He saw again
the friendly, smiling eyes that had
looked into his out on the desert.
Already guests were approaching,
and, leaning down, Radcliffe spoke
quickly: IF I'm not allowed to sit
by you at dinner. want to warn you
here and now I'm coming over to
that feudal castle of your uncle's and
make him let down the drawbridge
some afternoon"
She laughed the same ripping
laugh he had heard that morning.

toward Mexico. my friend" she re-
piled, "there is an imaginary line
about two miles south of US. You
can't really see it and the country
on both sides looks the same, but

land of old-world things, of formal
things. and very strict ordering.

leans say. They must be invited. And

SYNOPSIS

SYNOPSIS
In the Mexican desert, a masked
rider, his gun still warm, hides in
the sheltering mesquite as the cav
airy ride past. They stop beside the
PROSTATE figure of man. "Lopez!"
they exclairn, and a SILVER runs
through the group. A jeering laugh
bursts down from above, and gazing
up they see the masked rider out
lined against the sky. Across the
border, tall and handsome Ted Rad
cliffe arrives at Verdi Junction. He
is met by a pretty girl who drives
him to the home of his friend, Bob
Hardness. She leaves without Civ
ing her name. While waiting for
Bob, Ted goes riding. He rescues a
boy being beaten by two Mexicans
in Pace Morales employ. They
threaten him with the vengeance of
their leader, Tito. Later Ted meets
his girl acquaintance of the morning
at a dinner given by Major Blount
of the U. S. Army. She is Adela
Morales, niece of Pace Morales, the
man of power in Mexico.

The Spaniard nodded. "Once.
yes" For a moment his cold eyes
flickered, and his lips seemed to
pause on question. But he only
said: "A remarkable man, Don Bob.
Perhaps the most remarkable in all
this border country. He stands for
everything l am opposed to-for the
illusion of democracy and for the
rights of the peon against his master.
We hardly ever agree. Yet l have
very real affection for him. No one
knows this borderland and its people
SO we'll as he"
mo one is so widely loved by the
people," added Ade!a.
The old man nodded impatiently.
True. But l cannot include that
among Don Bob's virtues. No. They
love him, these vermin, because he
shares their tortillas and plays with
their brats-an untidy pastime. Only
admissible he smiled slightly
when one is running for your Amer

A moment later dinner was an
nounced. But the dark eyes Of Paeo
Morales dwelt musingly on Rad
cliffe long after the younger man
had turned away.

majors wife asked as Radcliffe
seated her at the long table.

my husband. He makes me think
of all the masculine shortcomings
from time to time. just now I can
see he is bursting to break some
choice piece of news. He's waiting
for clue to lead naturally up to it,
and if it doesn't come soon the dear
man will explode one of those new

thing to do with our famous bandit,
FL Coyote, as they call him."
1--we heard you have an untamed
bandit" Radcliffe replied. He looked
about him. "Has he robbed anyone
here?"
The question put . sudden end to
the talk. AS of one accord the little
group about the candle-lit table
turned toward Pace Morales. An
air OF tenseness seemed to have
come upon the party. Morales alone
seemed uneoncerned, for he nodded
toward the newcomer and smiled.

Money Metal

One of the peculiarities of times
such as these is that gold production
tends to increase as the prices of
manufactured and other materials
drop. The reason for this is two
fold.
The first, of course, is that if people
have nothing else to do they can &C
quire a pan and go to placer mining
if they live in section of the coun-
try where gold may be found in the
streams. The second is that, as the
price of manufactured and raw ma
terials declines, the price of gold goes
up in proportion.
theoretically, gold has a standard
value since the United States or any
other nation on the gold standard
will purchase all gold offered to 1t
at fixed price per ounce. It also
will mint gold free of charge, turn
ing it into coin. The standard of
value is fiction, however, since in
times Like these given amount Of
gold is worth vastly more than it
would have been worth in 1929. The
reason is the drop in prices Of such
things as wheat, meat, automobiles,
silk shirts or any other article which
may be bought or sold.
One Of the largest gold-mining en-
tcrprises in the world is the Home
Stake mine in the Black Hills. Some
thing like $250,00o0o0 In gold has
been produced by it and it still is In
operation. When other shares on the
New York exchange were going down,
Home-Stake stock held its own and
even rose a little. It is producing
the metal for lack of which many
securities were dropping. It's pro-
duction was worth more because 1t
would buy more.
From Helena. Mont, and Denver,
Colo, heart of the country's placer
mining areas, come reports that
thousands Of men and q goodly mum.
her Of women are engaged in pam
ming the streams for gold. So many
prospectors and others have been
