Again there was silence. At last
Hammond began to place the narrow
confine between the door and the coun-
ter. Then Jeanne said:
''I'd hoped you'd never have to know
about him."
II don't-if you put it that way"
But she had Strengthened now, her
chin lifted with determination.
"I'll feel better if you do know"
He caught her by the arms, clutch
ing them tight.
"Look here!" he asked. "Do you
think anything could change my feel
ings about you-my friendship? Do
you? If that's the case, don't tell me-
I don't want to know"
"You, of all persons, have the right
to know"
She freed herself and walked past
him to the door, closing it. Then she
turned, and her back against it, as
though the support would give he1
needed strength. Suddenly she drew
back. A voice had come from outside:

A certain asperity had grown VI
between the two; looking back, Ham
mond felt that Mckenzie Joe's nature
had become steadily sourer ever since
the first arrival of Jimmy Moons air
plane and its passengers. Jack had
resented that, as though it were an
implied insult to the girl he loved.
"Look here, Joe. We've got to gel
our money out of this discovery. We
can't stay here forever"
"Seems to me-" Mckenzie Joe said.

we found this place, we both figured
it was where we were going to set

Jeanne answered hopelessly.

"No-but while you're here, take

passed them on to the miner.
"Tell Miss Kay I'll be down after
awhile" he commanded.
"Sure," the miner answered and
started away.

"You mean, you've let somebody
change 'em for YOU"
Hammond threw down the shovel;
it clattered on the wooden floor.
"I'm getting tired of that. If
you've got anything to say about Kay
Joyce, come out and say it."
The other man glanced at him over
his shoulder.
"Did mention any names 2" he ask
ed quietly and moved away toward
the upped diggings, new test shaft,
somewhat distant from camp and rath-
er deep in the forest, by which they
sought the bedrock. Hammond did
not follow.
Instead, with the shovel over his
shoulder, he headed for the placer
workings along the creek. It was a
rejuvenated camp through which he
moved. A roar sounded from the
lake and Jimmy Moons airplane took
off for Wrangell. From far away
came the sound of hammers over at
Around the World Annie's on the
Alaskan side; tiny town had begun
there; she called it Whoopee. As
Hammond walked on he passed squat

CHAPTER 9

CHAPTER 8
Jack Hammond went down the hill
that night with the feeling of having
kissed the lips of nobility. A modest
man, it had been inevitable that he
should have faced moments of doubt
all that now was dispelled.
A few nights later, as Mckenzie
Joe scraped the sandy mud off his
boots and prepared to start for
Jeanne's sorte and a new tin of tobac-
co, Jack Hammond came out of the
semi-darkness of the cabin and leaned
against the doorway.
Listen, Joe," he began, Give been
thinking about something"
"Yeh?" The old prospector tossed
aside the mud-smeared stick and stood
waiting.
"We've been looking for that old
river bed in pretty haphazard fash
ion."
"Have WEI" asked Joe.
"Well, haven't we? We dig hole
here and hole there-just stabbing
blind in the dark. I've been thinking
that we ought to map out a campaign.
Suppose we swing away over to the
right, almost to the end of our hold
ings on that Number s lease, and start
putting down a series of test pits.
Then, if those don't work out, we can
sart slowly across the valley"
The coldly appraising look in Nc
Kenzie Joe's eyes halted him.
what crooked mining shark has
been telling you the wrong place to
dig?" he asked bluffly, and walked
on toward Jeanne Towers cabin.
All in less than two weeks, the lit
tie settlement of Sapphire Lake had
become "a village-and was robustly
loking forward to the day when it
would be town. Jimmy Moons air
plane had caused it.
Not that he any longer held the
monopoly. Two days after his first
trip into Wrangell, another gypsey
had flown in from the Alaskan coast
and begun a canvass Of the town for
business. Then third had found his
way up from Vancouver.
For days Jimmy Moon had been
chartered by Around the World An
ME, feverish for artisans, woodwork
ers, GLACIERS and their supplies. Oh
sons discovery of gold had done great
things for the morale of the camp.
Other placer miners, who had been
content with mere panning, now were
building rockers, or going in for great
ner sluicing operations.
The whole psychology of the camp
had changed, while hardware and fur
nishing stores in Wrangell sold out
their supplies and the hurrying air.
planes roared onward to Juneau and
Sitka, there to load up from new
sources and rush back to the mining
camp.
"Yeh," said Mckenzie Joe, as he
watched ship drop to the lake, and
taxi to landing, "everybody's in
hurry. They could go for months
without glass in their windows-but
now they've got to have it by the next
plane. That's the trouble with a new
gold diggin's. Nobody wants to let
it stay the way you found it."
Then suddenly he asked Hammond
"You going to work with me today on
that upper shaft, or are you still stick
ing to Loon creek?"
Hammond began to file the ragged
edge of a long-handled shovel.
Don't you think it's up to us to
get as much gold out of that creek
placer as we can? Well have to be
hiring men soon."
The older man shot him a quick
glance.
"That's the fourth or fifth time
you've brought that up" he said.
"Well?" asked Hammond. Didn't

Hours later, with Kay and Hammond
watching intently, the workmen began
a cleanup of the sluice box on the
Joyce claim. 1t only revealed the
usual flour gold, indications of some
thing more to come, but as yet, moth
ing worth saving.
Neither this flume nor the sluice
is long enough" one of the workers
complained. "Me m Jim waste an
awful lot of time just standin' a.
round, for fear of shovelin' in too
much gravel"
"Then build 'em up now, while
you're dried out for the cleanup"
Hammond said. "I'm going past the
sawmill I'll tell 'em to send some
lumber"
"And nails" called Kay.
"I'll get them"
Hammond left the stream, with it's
lines of eager workers. At the saw
mill he gave the lumber order, then
turned for Jeanne's to get the nails.
She met him, some fifty yards away,
returning from the delivery of a
batch of darning.
Haven't sold all of those nails 2"
he asked.
"I think there are some left. There's
been a run on them this morning.
Everybody in camp wants nails-or
glass;"
They reached the store and she lift
ed the peg from the hasp--few persons
in Sapphire lake ever bothered to close
their doors. Then pushing the door
open, she walked within the store,
suddenly to gasp and to hurry around
the end of the rough counter.
The crudely built money drawer
stood open. The girl wavered, staring
at it, her hands half-raised, her jaw
sagging. Then she said, in a queerly
dulled voice:
Somebody's been in the store!"
"Had you left your money here?"
Hammond asked sharply.
"Yes-all of it. I-I-thought-
body ever bothers to lock up"
Hammond stared about him. It
seemed inconceivable that crime should
have entered this far-away place; Ser
geant Terry's main work was growing
a garden. Beside him, Jeanne Tow
ers continued to stare blankly; it was
as if they sought an explanation of
the impossible, the supernatural.
"But who would want to steal my
money!" she asked dazedly. "They
took everything; the bills, and my,
nuggets and a bottle of golddust-"
Hammond did not answer. The
door had begun to swing shut; the
faint breeze therefrom was sufficient
to lift bit of paper, hitherto un-
and whisk it to the floor. Jack
moved for it, but the girl, with swift
intuition, sped before him. She grasp
ed it, turning it in her hand. Then,
with a spasmodic movement, she
crumpled it in a tightly clenched fist.
cts nothing" she said. Her face
was bloodless.
A strange madness overpowered
Hammond. He did not know why he
he only realized that his face
was hot and his veins pounding.
"Give me that paper" he said thin
ly. There was something terrible
about his eyes. Slowly the girl pass
it over to him. His hands shook as
he unfolded it, revealing its curt mes
sage:
"IO.U.
Lew.
II thought so," said Hammond, and
turned for the door. Jeanne moved
catching him by the arm.
slack! Wait! Wait"
"Why wait ?" he asked. "I'm going
after Sergeant Terry.
But she blocked him, frantic, both
hands against his chest.
ooh, don't!" she gasped. "Please
don't-please don't!"
Jack Hammond could not believe
her.
you're not going to let Lew Slade
get away with a robbery?"

Housekeeping Aids Vital.

One of the less publicized activities
of the w. P. A. has been the work of
the housekeeping aids, those women
who go into homes where living con-
ditions are far below par either
through ignorance, carelessness or
complications which render proper
home-naking impossible.
The aides visit homes in need Of
instruction, teach the home-maker
how to cook. how to maintain sani-
tary conditions. how to make and re-
pair clothing, how 10 guard the health
Of the family, in fact, how to make Q
home.
As an example of the type of service
which is rendered in times of emer-
gency, one Ohio home visited was
headed by mother who was suffering
from tuberculosis. The attending
physician had asked for a 90-day rest
for the mother. Instead of breaking
up the home, sending the children to
an institution. a housekeeping aide
visited the home for five hours each
day. did the food purchasing, planned
the meals and in other ways replaced

well again and ready to assume her
regular burdens.

Officials Refuse to Admit
Illustrations as Works of Art.
THE New York customs officials are
again having difficulty in defining
art. Some time ago. the Limited Edi-
tionS Club instituted an international
competition for book illustrations for
future publications. The prizes, 81.
500, $500 and $1,000. respectively,
were sufficiently generous to tempt not
only American but foreign competi-
tors, but when the works entered In
competition arrived from abroad, they
were -ield up at the Customs House a
dutiable.
The Limited Editions Club very
properly claimed that an illustration
Is work of art. and therefore customs
free, but the customs authorities
quoted decision of the Customs
Court to the effect that when color
has been used to such an extent that
it interferes with the design, such works
must be classed as decorated paper and
as such be subject to a high tax.
This distinction is, to say the least,
novel and unique. How color applied
as an integral part of a design can
obscure the figures it is difficult to
understand. Some sympathy was felt
| for the New York customs officials
when they failed to see in the abstract
sculpture of Brancusi and his coll
leagues that which would proclaim
/ them to be works of art-but how an
illustration to accompany and eluci-
date text could be abstract Is hard
to imagine. But art is a funny word,
and at times very misleading. Some
one of exceptional wisdom has lately
suggested that If the new, progression
art. especially that of children, could
be given some other name, all the
present fuss and worry and widespread
disagreement would be done away
with. But as 1t is, no wonder the
poor customs officials are bewildered.
Who has ever satisfactorily defined
art?
