CHAPTER III

Denny turned toward the dock
in time to witness a cranlng OF
necks and a behind-the-hand eX-
changing if remarks that herald
ed some unusual approach. An
instant later there came into view
a tall. deep-bosomed young wo-
man coStumed in black and With
that sophisticated simplicity which
shouts for notice. Furnished red
hair under a little flat hat pan
caked over one brow: small paint
ed mouth. with curved lips very
full in the center: languorouS
dark-tinted lids dropping over
lustrous brown eyes. From one
arm trailed a scarf of two mag
nificent silver-fox skins. A super
cilious police dog. with a silver
studded collar, trotted on a leash
ahead of her.
Boy! Who's the keen man.
MAJ" Near Denny two engineers,
one evidently a newcomer, were
talking.
The other laughed. That's Rio
Carew- the lady who can give
any Alaskan miner cards and
spades when it comes to gold-dig-
ging."
Who's the lady'S pay streak?"
Julius Carew. Big-shot furni-
ture manufacturer, New York;
Chicago. Came up last fall on

a divorce and something like a
hundred thousand dollars in Sc

Dent tell me history is re-
peating itself. and another sucker
has brought her up here on a big
game hunt?'
Il don't think so. She is alone
this time. Wired Derek Haskell to
meet her that's the fellow with
her now. Good-looking. that half
breed. College grad too. He's Lar

Haskell was bareheaded and ra-

There he comes round the corner

There was no visible sign of
perturbation about the young man
who came into view. He sauntered
forward, attraCtively negligent in
white flannels and a pull-oVer
sweater. the sun on his dark gold
hair. The only indication of his
calling was a faded blue nautical
cap under one arm. At his heels
stalked a silky-coated husky with

his youth. River craft was his
heritage, and men of the North
proclaimed him a whitewater
navigator without peer in the
land
Though Bourne gave no impress
sion of bigness, there was about
him something unhurried and sure
and powerful. like the mobile
strength of rivers that are swift
and deep. He moved light-footed

his young jaw which years would
turn to native stolidness. But be-
meath the bar of his broWS in the
dusk of his Indian face were set

blue and somehow tragic.
The ShrillS and tootS of a bag

from an accordion announced the
arrival of Harp MacFarlane and
Boom MCGEE, the cook on the
Stikine Maid, returning from a
spree.
Meanwhile the last of the pas
sengers, two pretty nurses on va

had come aboard. The Maid was

engines and in the WheelhOuSe the

AS he crossed the gangplank he
glanced over to where Denny sat
watching him. His look barely
brushed her, but in that instant
his blue eyes held the searching,
penetrative quiet that marks the
eyes of men who have long been
accustomed to reading white wa

Though Denny's preference was
for dark men dark-eyed, dark
haired there was something
about the blond river captain that
drew her gaze after him as he
went toward the wheelhouse.
Gongs changed; bells jingled;
lines were cast off and the whistle
shrilled. Amid Handwriting and
shouted last messages, the Maid,
exactly on time, slid away from
the wharf and headed up the sea-
coast toward the mouth of the
Stikine several miles distant.

CITES INCREASE
in TRAVEL To
PARK CENTERS
LECTURER ON NATIONAL RES
ERvATIoNs GIVES OUT.
LINE ON ANNUAL TOURIST
BUSINESS


MIAMI. Fla, May 2s-David
A Mitchell. ranger-naturalist in
the Yellowstone National Park
for several years. and subsequently
a lecturer on national parks. said
in an interview, upon his arrival
here. that s.the establishment OF
the Everglades National Park in
Florida would produce an increase
of at least 20 percent in annual
tourist industry"
During the past four years. "
he said, 'the increase in travel 70
our national parks has grown in
leaps and bounds. 1884 broke all
previous records. 1885 travel ex-
eeeded that by p percent and
1896 showed an increase o. 80
percent over 1885. Certain parks
in individual instances showed a.
high as 20 percent travel the pre-
eeding year.
In 1886 rail travel to nation
al parks showed a IS percent IL
crease and automobile travel wa
up II percent in the same year. "
Mitchell credits this increase to
the fact that people who previous
ly spent their time and money in
Europe are waking up 10 the beau
tfes of their own country through
its national parks.
In choosing an area for a ma
tional park" Mitchell declared
''the United States government
considers the insrirational, eduea.
tional and recreStional values.
The area must contain some extra
ordinary scenic grandeur and be
large enough to make it worth
While. We frequently speak o.
the national parks as the play
ground Of America. They are sci
aside for the enjoyment of the
people"
Mitchell believes the proposed
Everglades National Park lives M
to all the qualifications required
in the finest examples Of national
parks in the country. 1t contains
a great deal of wild life that i;
not found elsewhere in the Unit.
ed States, a scenic grandeur and
natural phenomena.
Mitchell has been interested In
the fact that during the lecture:
throughout the country he has had
enquiries from his audience:
about the Everglades Nationa
Park. He BELIEVES the nations
interest in the Park is rapidly
growing.
Accompanied by Mrs. Mitchell
/! he has completed = tour of 5,00(
