Strange fires flashed in his eyes. 1t
was plain that he had pust caught
himself in time to keep from ex-
ploding into open rage. Suddenly
he dropped to his knees and bent
over his work again. 'T'm truly
sorry, Miss Mackay," he finished
quietly. "But it is impossible"
For a long moment Ellen stood,
swayed by many emotions, of
which a rising anger was upper
most. This was the most unusual
experience in her life. Why, the
man had acted almost like a churl.
His flat refusal was stunning with
its impact, the more so because it
had been so unexpected. For, dur
ing the past four years, men had
viewed with one another to jump
to Ellen Mackey's bidding. They
had gloried in alceding to her slight
est request. Her four years at
college in Winnipeg had been one
long reign over all things mascu-
line. Unconsciously this adulation
had spoiled her. She had known
no other law but that of her own
personal whim. Men, apparently,
were just automatons made to be
commanded. Yet, this man, this
big, virile, savage had flatly denied
her. Ellen's imperious head lifted,
her rounded little chin stiffened,
and she turned on her heel anil
walked away.
Unknown to her, John Benham
watched her departure. A look of

regret clouded his face, and there
was grudging admiration mingled
with that regret. 1t would be a cold
nan indeed who could not admire
Ellen Mackay, and John Benham
was not cold.
The city had failed utterly in
despoiling the physical birthright
of Ellen Mackay. She was sturdy,
buoyant, intensely alive. There
was no sickly, boudoir langour
about her slender ard vibrant body.
Her stride was free, natural and
full of grace. She did not slouch.
She stood erect, proudly SO, and
the rich colour in her smooth, olive
cheeks had been placed there by a
benevolent nature, not by the
chemistry of man. Her features
were lovely in their regularity and
as clearly etched as a pine ridge
against the sunset. Her eyes were
level, dark and aglow with the Joy
of life. And her hair was truly
her browning glory, a rich blue
black cloud of crisp curls.
The thought of such a girl as
this sitting by his side during the
long brisk days and mysteriou,
nights Of the river voyage ahead,
stirred John Benham deeply. Blu,
only for a moment did such truan,
thoughts stay with him. With a
hardening of his jaw and a shrug Of
his shoulders he discarded them. She
was the daughter of Angus Mack.

other men had looked. His gaze

1t was spring in the Three River
country. Over night almost, it
seemed, the g%entler season had
come.
Even the great, moining Atha-
basca River had softenel its voice.
When it first broke the ice-ribbed
barriers of winter it had howled,
and groaned and roared with re-
lease of pent-up power, crashing
and pounding at the shuddering
ice floes. But now, the initial bat
tie over with, it had lowered its
voice to a grooming, lisping muir
muir, its coppery flood sliding
swiftly away to the northward,
where, thousands of miles distant,
those waters would finally hold
rendezvous with the silent Attic
sea.
John Benham, bent over the in
tricacies of a splice in a mooring
line, whistled as he worked. Surg
ing in the depths of his great chest
was a wild, haunting happiness,
which always came to him when
the far, dim trails were open and
beckoning. His face, bent eagerly
to his work, was lean and brown,
with brow, nose, lips and chin
clearly and strongly carven. His
eyes, deepset, steady and sparkling
grey, were flawless in their clarity.
His heavy flannel shirt chung to
wide, sloping shoulders and opened
at the front to disclose a bronzed,
pillar like throat. His hands, weav-
ing cunningly at the hemp, were
big, strong and nimble. The ire
mendous virility of the man SEEM
ed to glow from him like some
strange and powerful current.
Ellen Mackay, standing there
On the crest Of the sloping bank,
distinctly sensed that current. 1t
almost frightened her, yet it SEEM
ed also to awaken a nameless, re-
sponsive thrill which speeded the
beat of her heart and set her pulses
throbbing. And where she had ap-
preached in %thexirst place with a
surety that verged almost on AFRO
gance, she now hesitated, swayed
by a curious timidity.
The man was unconscious Of her
proximity. The song Of the river
had covered her light-footed ap-
proach. His barred head was bent
over his work. Beyond him, about
the remains of the noon fire,
sprawled the sleeping forms Of his
men, while still farther on, five
great, loaded freight scows tugged
at twanging mooring ropes and
shifted to and fro as though they
also knew the call of spring and
were, Gag to storm the far leagues
of the lonely island. L
Ellen Mackay coughed, and was
suddenly furious with herself to
find that it had been a most apol-
ogetic cough indeed. The mans
eyes lifted with alert swiftness,
rested on the slim figure of the girl
for a moment of startled wonder,
then he rose to his feet with little
surge Of power which rippled over
him like the wind across a sea Of
grass.
"You-you are John Benham?"
Only by the strongest effort of
will was Ellen able to keep her
tone casual and business-like. The
impact of this mans eyes were al

Table salt rich in vitamin B is

this morning by Dr. L. R. Cerecedo
Of Fordham University He found
that certain synthetic sandlike ma
terlals which are used extensively for
softenlng water are able to take up
the vltamin from cereal or yeast ex-
tracts and to lberate the substance
again upon treatment with a solution
OF salt and water. When the water
is dissolved the salt residue is ex-
tremely rich in the vitamin. Mixing
with more salt gives material which
can be used on the table.
The vitamin in the amount of salt
ordinarily shaken on food, DR.. Cere-
cedo said, will more than make up
for that which is lost in the cooking
OF green vegetables The daily intake
of salt eaten in this way, he said,
would have the same vitamin con-

Valuable Drug Promised.
Variations of both the previously
known substances have been made syn
thetically, but since they do not occur
in nature, DR.. Marker said, cannot be
considered as real hormones. The dis
covery announced today not only pro-
vides a drug which may be of great
medical value, but promises to shed
light on the basic nature of sex differ
ences and the way hormones act.
DR.. Marker believes that the sex
hormoneS which are having an in
creasingly important role in medicine
do not act primarily as physical stimu-
lators of specific organs, but that they
act by chemical combinations within
the body.
The theory of chemical action, he
stressed, is supported by the expert
ments conducted by himself and his
associates, which show that when
various sex hormones are administered
they cannot be recovered in true form.
They come out as decomposition prod
ducts, showing that they have entered
chemical combinations in the body.
River Polluted With Acid.
More than 100000 tons of con-
centrated sulphuric acid, causing dam
age of more than $10,000,0O0 a year,
were being poured into the Ohio River
by its tributary streams flowing past
the mouths of abandoned coal mines,
it was reported by DR.. w. w. Hodge
of West Virginia University. This acid
was produced, he said, by the contact
of water and oxygen with the iron sui
phides and FOOLS gold in the aban-
doned mines. 1t destroyed all fish and
aquatic life, made the water unfit to
drink and was on the way to making
the Ohio and its tributary streams
desert rivers.
The danger now is being overcome,
he said, by w. P. A. workers in seven
States, who have already closed nearly
$4,000 of the abandoned mine OPEN
ings. Water still escapes from them
into the rivers, but with a much
smaller sulphuric acid content.

JAPANESE CABINET
DEFEAT PREDICTED
Fall of Hayashi Government
Seen in General Election
Apri! 80.
By the Associated Press.


TOXIC, April ia ma ajority of
political forecasters in the Japanese
press predicted today a decisive de-
feat for the government of Premier
Gen. Senjuro Hayashi in the general
election set for April 80.
The consensus of political opinion
was that the government would face
a House Of Representatives fully as
hostile as the old one dissolved March
81. In that event 1t would be faced
again with q choice between dissolu-
ton and its own resignation.
Military Faction Silent.
As the campaign moved toward its
halfway point the powerful military
faction, which pushed the govern
ment into the present contest, re-
manned silent.
Observers saw indications Of rest
iveness among army leaders, both be-
cause OF the anti-militarist trend OF
the recent parliamentary session and
the admitted weakness of the Hayashi
cabinet, which had army approval, il
not active support.
Some close observers expressed be-
lief the fighting services would take
strong stand against the parties and
parliamentary institutions in the event
the government is defeated. They
have insisted that the nation cannot
tolerate the slow-moving processes OF
party politics when faced by a seri-
GUS crisis at'home.
Big Parties Opposition.
The three big parties opposing the
cabinet-the Minseito, Seiyukai and
Shakai Taishuto-held 397 seats in
the House which was dissolved. They
expect to elect 440 Of the 4es members
in the House

SAID OF the Japanese factory, that
many OF the employers are rather
proud that they supply not only clean,
sanitary lodging and nourishing food
but also Fairgrounds, recreation halls

so that the young girls can save an
important part-sometimes more than
half-of their wage for their dowry. -
Meanwhile, Robert West, an ad-

PARIS. April 13.-Former King Al

last night that he be restored to the
Spanish throne in reward for finan-
clal aid to the insurgent Gen. Fran

the Spanish court in 1893 when she
