A general color scheme of blue
and gold with rich, soft velvet hang
ings made a brilliant background
for the cast and for the spectators
in their gorgeous uniforms and
gowns. Peeresses wore robes of
crimson velvet, trimmed in ermine,
unless they happened to be of royal
blood, in which event they were re-
quired to don the purple velvet of
royalty. The court gowns worn I'M

of them cost at least 81 200. Uni

$500 and went up from there.
History's Greatest Gem Display
This did not, of course, include
the jewelry or the coronets. The
cheapest coronet could hardly have
been purchased for less than $500.
The total of all the rings, bracelets,

SYNOPSIS

Jack Hammond, gold prospector, returns
to Prince Rupert after spree in Seattle
and learns that a gold rush is starting as
a result of some careless remarks he had
dropped at party concerning gold dis
covery. He finds that his partner, McKen-
zie Joe Britten, has gone on north to protect
their claims. Besieged, Hammond decides
to tell the would-be prospectors how to
reach the new gold fields. Around the World
Annie, a frontier dance hall proprietor, has
assembled a troupe of girls and is bent on
starting dance hall at the new camp. Jack
muses. about Kay Joyce. the girl in Seattle
whom he loves and to whom he confided the
secret of his gold strike. Going to his law
yer's Office, he passes a young girl on the
stairs. Jack asks Barstow the lawyer about
the girl and learns that she is a volunteer
client. Jack tells him about Kay Jimmy
Moon, mutual acquaintance, had brought
them together. Kay was chilly at first but
when she saw some of his gold nuggets
they got along beautifully. He had met her
mother and a friend of the family, Bruce
Kenning, geologist. Sergeant Terry of the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police joins the
gold-seekers on their trip north. Jack en-
counters the girl. Jeanne Towers. and she
asks him to lend her a team of dogs and
supplies. He consents. The next day the
trek to the new bonanza begins. Later,
on the trail, Jeanne is lost and Hammond
saves her. The gold seekers arrive and the
new camp is soon in full swing. Ham,
mond and Joe have a secret theory that
the real gold find will not be on the present
site of the Big Moose river but, on its
prehistoric bed, which they are seeking.

Seattle. Springtime comes. Then an air.

might as well say we're broke and
be done with it,"
Perhaps you'd better go to bed"
said Mrs. Joyce icily.
ST think that's good idea" Ham
mond took him by the arm. "Time
for us to go, Jimmy"
"Oh, all right" The round little
pilot was grinning again. 81 didn't
mean to start any fireworks"
Hammond pulled him off the We
randa and with an effort at a jok-
ing goodnight to the two women,
led him down the trail.
"Sorry I can't put you up in my
cabin," he apologized, when they
were well along toward town. "But
we've only got two hunks there"
ooh, I couldn't go, anyway. I've
got to get out too early" Jimmy
rubbed his hands over his face.
''Wow, how couple of shots can
hit fellow when he's tired"
"You rather spoke out of turn
up there at the house," the miner
SuSSSStSo.
Jimmy raised his head, pulling
hard for air.
"Yeh, I guess I did," he con-
fessed. "Kay will hate me for that.
They've been trying to keep it dark
that they haven't got cent. But
everybody in Seattle knows it. If
it wasn't for the money that Bruce
Kenning slips them, they wouldn't
have a thin dime"
Hammond gasped.
'But they've always been the rich
people of Seattle!"
"Yeh, with their heads in the air.
But they can't hold 'em up any
longer down there-that's why they
were so glad to get out"
A certain grimness came into
Hammond's features.
''Kay doesn't need to worry"
"Sure, not with you"
'Then let's drop the subject" the
miner said quietly. Besides, here's
your flop joint"
Jimmy Moon hiccoughed.
"God!" he exclaimed, looking at
the outlines of the log-cabin bed
house, with it's bear-tallow candle

Hammond slapped him on the
shoulder.
"Get to bed, Timmy!" he COM
manded. you've had a long day."
Then lonely, puzzled, bit de-
pressed, he went onward toward his
dark cabin, where snored McKen-
zie Joe. This night of nights had
not turned out at all the way he
had hoped for it.
Morning, however, brought a
spirit of gayety; everybody had
been tired and excited the night be-
fore, Hammond told himself. New
ertheless, on his way from break

The Laughing Jackass"

Kookaburras thrive in Australia.
They are protected by law because
they feast on snakes and mice.
Their chief claim to fame, however,
is vocal ability described as a cross
between wild and giddy laughter
hence their name, Laughing jack
ass" And because of the regularity
of their calls-always at dawn and
iusk-they also are known as the
settlers clock. Classed as a men,
Der of the kingfsher family, the
kookaburra observes absolute quiet
at all other times. But when the
first sign of the sun appears, one
kookaburra sounds off as if to Sig
nal all others miles around.

"The Mounties. This is a booze
trip, isn't it,"
Kay faced the aviator. "Timmy!
You haven't gone in for bootlegging
already?"
The tone was jesting, but Jimmy
was tired.
''It isn't against the law to bring
liquor from American territory to
American territory. I'm not sneak
ing anything into Canada"
''Who's this fellow who hired
your" Hammond asked. Curiosity
pulled hard at him; he was sure
it was the man who had frightened
Jeanne Towers. Jimmy rubbed his
round face.
Damned if I know. He said his
name was Lew shade. I think he
works for Around the World Annie. "
Kay laughed, somewhat harshly.
$50 that's what becomes of our
darling Jimmy. He comes into the
new, unfettered North and immedi-
ately becomes a bootlegger."
1t was badly timed. Jimmy
Moons nerves were raw, from a
long session at the stick.
''Well, at least I'm honest about
it. I'm not being a damned pre-
tender!"
''Why, Jimmy" asked Kay, with
an air of amazement. "Who's pre-
tending?"
''We've all been pretending" said
Jimmy Moon. Jack caught the
scent of liquor on his breath; and
evidently Lew shade, whoever he
was, had been generous. Sand I'm
sick of it. We're up here and let's
be honest as to why we're here"
"Timmy!" in the reflected light
of the doorway, Hammond saw that
the girls face had gone white; there
was rage in her eyes. The aviator
did not notice.
Don't Jimmy mel" he ex-
claimed. "We're all broke and we

gems ever worn in one place at
one time in the worlds history.
Rank of the members of the no.
bility was indicated by the amount
of ermine on the robes of the wom-
en- and the length of their trains. A
duchess was marked by four rows
of ermine on her robe, and a train
two yards long. A marchioness was
permitted three and one-half rows
of ermine and a one-and-three-
fourths-yard train; countess half
row less of ermine, half a yard
less train; rank was further graded
down at half row and half a yard
per classification.
The head of the procession, which
had included great list of digni-
taries, the Kings representative
and royal persons with their fam
lilies from all over the world had
been waiting at the west door of
the Abbey, and as the royal coach
approached, filed in to await their
monarch. Following them came the
chaplains, deans and officers of
Westminster, then the archbishops
with the Queen consort and the
ladies and gentlemen of the court.
Enter the King.
Noblemen close behind bore the
staff and the sceptre, with the cross
and the golden spurs, and the three
swords which signify mercy, tenn
poral justice and spiritual justice.
These were the trappings of st. Ed

CHAPTER IV-Continued

"Women are right sometimes,
Mrs. Joyce added. Jimmy fused
with his knife and fork.
"Wish that Yellow Peril would
bring on the steak. I'm going to
eat the tablecloth in a minute"
It'll be along" Hammond an
swered, glad of the change of con-
versation. 'Tl try to get hold of
that Chinaman-"
He raised his head, looking about
the shoddy restauran only to pause
as the door opened and young
man entered, paused a moment,
then started forward at the sight
of Hammond's party. He was a
man Jack had not seen before, once
well built, but now somewhat fallen
away, as though his clothing did not
fit, or an inactive life had robbed
a frame once well filled by the
outdoors. The sagginess extended
to his features, deep lines about his
mouth, a thickness of the cheeks
at each side of his nose. He raised
cigarette to his lips with a jerky
movement, then snapped the arm
quickly down at his side. Now he
hesitated, as if wondering whether
or not to interrupt. At last he de-
cided against further approach and
turned again to the door.
Hammond saw him glance toward
the corner where Jeanne Towers sat
and stiffen as though with surprise.
Then he heard a sound from the
corner, half gasp, half scream, that
was smothered almost before it be-
gan. For an instant the two stared,
as if each were petrifed by the
others presence. Then the young
man swung out the door, and
Jeanne Towers, fighting nightly to
pretend unconcern, returned to her
meager meal.

CHAPTER v

An hour later, Hammond saw the
man again. The meal was finished
and Jack was strolling through the
camp with his guests; Kay had an
nounced a tremendous interest in
everything about her; she could not
wait until morning, she said.
So now, picking their way along
the dark passageways and trails
which passed as streets, Hammond
had done his best to give a picture
of the place, its beginnings, it's
hopes. At last, tired, they had
turned homeward, Jimmy Moon
tagging somewhat in the rear.
CHANGING back, Hammond saw the
dim form of a man follow the avi-
ator for a few moments-at last
hating him. Jimmy was late
reaching the cottage.
''Where've you been?" asked
Kay. The pilot grinned.
ga fellow wanted me to make a
rip for him.
''That man who came into the
Slumgullion?" Hammond asked.
Jimmy nodded. Kay Joyce
shrugged her shoulders.
Glow far is it from here to Wran-
gell?"' asked Jimmy.
"To where?" Kay was yawning.

eyes"
"Mind pointing it out to me?"
"Now?" asked Hammond.
"Sure. I'll be making an early
getaway in the morning. Let's go
outside"
"Well," said Kay, with another
yawn, 'if there's anything to see,
let's take a look at it. Come on,
Mother"
Mrs. Joyce laid aside her green
cigarette holder and with that
queer, coldly acquiescent mood
which seemed a part of her, joined
the rest of the group on the tiny
veranda. The moon had risen,
shimmering the great expanse of
Sapphire lake, lying now like an
irregular plate of silver between
rugged mounds of black velvet.
''It's an inlet, over there to the
right" Hammond said. ''Land on
that and you'll be SAFE"
"Safe?" broke in Kay, with a lit
tie laugh. From whom?"

ward, with which English kings are
invested.
Then came more dignitaries, and
the Kings sceptre with the dove
symbolic of mercy and equity; the
Kings gold and diamond orb, sur
mounted by the Christian cross; the
crown of st. Edward, the patent and
the chalice and the Bible.
Then entered George vi in the
crimson robes of state, to join his
Queen, and march through the choir
and up the stairs to the theatre.
Passing the thrones, they then
kneeled at the faldstools before the
recognition chairs to offer prayers.
Next they proceeded about the Alb
hey to all four sides before the
view of the assemblage. The King
went to his chair and once more
faced each side of the Abbey as the
Archbishop, in loud tones, an
nounced him.
After the regalia had been
brought and placed by the dean of
Westminster upon the altar, the
Archbishop asked the King, accord
ing to ritual, "Sire, is your Majesty
willing to take the oath?" and the
King answered, 81 am willing" He
gave his oath to govern the peoples
of the British Isles and the Empire
according to their laws and Gus
toms; to maintain the profession of
the Gospel and the Church of Eng
land. After he had kissed the Bible
and signed the oath, the King re-
peated and subscribed to the dec
laration required by parliament and,
with the assemblage, prepared for
the communion service.
Following this lengthy service,
the King, having first removed the
cap and robes of state, assembled to
the throne of st. Edward, the an
cient chair which contains beneath
its seat the historic Stone of Scone
upon which the kings of Scotland sat
as they were crowned a thousand
years ago. After a silken pail had
been put over the King, the Arch
bishop anointed him upon the
hands, breast and face with the holy
oil, and he was ready to be pre-
sented with the spurs and the
sword.
King Receives His Crown.
These given, George vi removed
the pail and was clothed for the first
time in the royal robe of purple.
The orb and cross were brought
from the altar by the Dean of West
minister and placed in the Kings
hands by the Archbishop. He was
next invested with the ring and the
sceptres.
Then as the King bowed his head
the Dean of Westminster brought
the Crown of st. Edward, and the
Archbishop, receiving it from him,
held it but momentarily upon the
head of the King tits weight is ter

This was the signal for the trump
cts and the guns in the Tower of
London, for the peers and peeresses
to cry "God save the King!" and
for the millions who, along the pro-
cessional line outside, had been
waiting for that moment, to toss
their hats in the air and cry like
wise, "God save the King!" The
peers were now allowed to put on
their coronets.
There followed more religious
ceremonies of great length and sol
emnity, and then the coronation of
the Queen, following which the peer
esses cried, God save the Queen!"
and donned their coronets.
Still more long hours of cere-
mony. Then, in the early evening
the Kings coach at last passed once
more down the professional route,
and the millions who had waited all
day for the sight went home happy.
