its path to search for them.
The girl Milly collapsed the mo-
ment they handed her full drink.
She remained in her bunk until two
days of reaching San Francisco. Batter
remained in his almost as long. And all
recovered completely.
Tontine and Batter knew that the
girl Milly had saved their lives at the
risk of her own. They were grateful to
her - but in reason. She would not
let them be more or let them like her
more. even if they'd had the inclina-
ton. She f1irted with the third Officer
instead, sitting in secluded corners of
the boat deck with him, giggling and
spooning like the fapper she was.
Quite useless and repugnant little
female - yes. quite -.
Only eternal womanhood and every
day humanity all the same.
No-Tm sorry, this isn't one of
those stories. Life is too incurably
human to be romantic on every desert
island - unless, of course. life itself
as it really is, is romantic enough to
satisfy you.

She was sitting beside him mani
curing her nails at the time.
All she said was: You're both i'll.

He stared at her. She was the same
futile and frivolous creature as the
flirting girl on the ship. But she could
not help herself. She had to look after
the two who had meant to sacrifice
her, yes, even though she might lose
her life doing it. The eternal woman
in her commanded it.
Womanhood - humanity! Was
that what counted most? He recalled
the blind and irresponsible gesture
that had made him give her the water

nonsense had decided she should not
have it. Humanity-so much stronger
and finer after all than scientific
reasoning.
No this is not one of those
stories.

The cooling touch of the water

ALASKA'S VOTE POINTS TREND
 IN NOVEMBER
"As Alaska Goes So Goes the Nation," Declares
 Chairman Farley

NEW YORK, Sept. 1l.--Democrat- ic National Chairman James A Farley suggested here today that it is time to change the ancient byword of the past from as Maine goes, so goes the Nation to as AL aska goes so goes the nation"
 For the past 30 years, Farley said. Alaska has gone Republican when the national election has been Republican and has gone Democrat ic when the national election was Democratic except in 1912 when Woodrow Wilson was elected as a result of a Republican split.
 National Democratic committee man J. A. Hellenthal sent Farley word that the entire Democratic ticket had carried the election last Tuesday in Alaska by more than a three to one majority.
 "The Alaska verdict. because of a similarity of economic interests, can be taken as an indication of what is going to happen in the Western States on vember 3, Chairman Farley said.
