SYNOPSIS

Jack Hammond. gold prospector. returns
to Prince Rupert after a spree in Seattle
and learns that a gold rush is starting as
q result Of some careless remarks he had
dropped at party concerning a gold dis
covery. He finds that his partner, McKen-
ne Joe Britten. has gone on north to protect
their claims. Besieged, Hammond decides
to tel the would-be prospectors how 10
reach the new gold fields. Around the World
Annie. frontier dance hall proprietor, has
assembled troupe Of girls and is bent on
starting dance hall al the new camp. Jack
muses. about Kay Joyce, the girl in Seattle
whom he loves and 10 whom he confded the
secret Of his gold strike. Going 10 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 volunteer
client. Jack tells him about Kay. Tmmy
Noon, 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, a 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 10 lend her q team of dogs and

on its prehistoric bed, which they are seek

nounced Timmy, 'we'n eat at the
Quick and Dirty and like it."
"When?" asked Mrs. Joyce.
'We're waiting for Bruce Ken
ming, Mother"
"As usual; we've waited for him
for ten years"
"Yes-father always said he was
the latest thing in mining men"
Hammond laughed louder than
anyone at that. Jokes had been
few for him in these long weeks Of
waiting.
Bruce Kenning was coming in the
door. After that; the conversation
became jumbled; so much to be
gone over again, calls for food from
Tinmy Moon, monosyllabic cut-ins
by Mrs. Joyce, questions to be re-
answered about the trip. But at last
they were down the hill and at the
crude doorway Of the Slumgullion.
For moment queer feeling of
trepidation shot through Jack Ham,
mond. For the first time, he won
dered what Kay would think of
these crude surroundings which she
would find on every side, the lack
Of comforts of civilization. But the
answer came almost as soon as his
mental question. Kay had tipped
her blonde head and glanced about
her at the sloping log building, with
its glassless windows of mosquito
netting, its faint illumination of two

isn't it cutel" she exclaimed.
''Just like movie set. Look, Moth
er, it's simply gorgeous!"
Gorgeous is hardly the word"
came the acidulous rejoinder from
the angular Mrs. Joyce.
WELL" Hammond laughed with
relief, "at least it's unique. Set
this down in the main street of an
American city and you'd have
crowd around it in five minutes"
Suddenly he drew back. "Oh, Kay!"
"Yes," she turned from the door.
Here's someone. I'd like you to
meet"
Jeanne Towers was approaching,
also headed for the restaurant. She
hesitated as she noticed the little
throng in front of the doorway, but
Hammond called her forward.
Jeanne" he said, here are my
friends from Seattle. Kay, this is
Jeanne Towers. Remember wrote
you about her?"
"Of course" The Seattle girl ex-
tended her hand, long-armed ges-
ture-Jeanne Towers accepted it,
hesitantly. They smiled and ex-
changed greetings; suddenly Jack
felt III at ease and wondered why
Jeanne Towers should be apologiz-
ing for her appearance. After all,
they were the clothes she always
wore. As for Kay, she had said
nothing but pleasantries which,
some way, seemed unpleasant. Jack
Hammond could not understand it.
He hurried to the other introduc-
tions. Then: won't you join us?"
he asked. Jeanne drew back.
Mono, thanks" she evaded.
''I'm just going to have a bite. I've
got to get back to the store"
Jeanne sought the farthest corner.
A Chinese waiter approached, rub
bing his hands on a dirty apron.
"Glaying fish, lainbow fish, deer
steak, blare steak" he announced.
Lay off the bear steak" Bruce
Kenning warned. "It's tougher than
old shoes"
"And don't ask about the vege-
tables, Hammond interjected.
They're all desiccated and
Taste awful" announced Timmy.

Kay Haunted a hand.
"I'n grubstake you," she said,
"as soon as / make my first mil
lion" Then she half turned, at a
nudge from Mrs. Joyce. Her eyes
swept the restaurant, pausing at In
tervals in stare of appraisal.
Hammond followed her gaze, know
ing at what she looked and wonder
ing as to the result. Around the
World Annie, accompanied by some
of her girls, minced the last of
her meal at a nearby table. Kay

sury, the Police Widows fund as- sociation was forced to discontinue payments for three months. In starting payments again, the monthly benefits will be reduced from $39.35 to $23.
 No Connection
 The association which discontin- ued payments is entirely free from connection with the fund which is paid to widows of policemen and firemen who died in the carrying out of their duty.
 Under the City Charter, widows of firemen or policemen who were killed in action, receive $500 8 year, or generally $25 per month. In the event there is no widow the sum goes to children, until they are IS years of age. If there are no chil- dren and no widow, the benefits are received by any other dependents. According to the city charter, the fund expires with the re-marriage of the widow, however, if there are any children under IS, 1t reverts to them.
 In addition to the $25 monthly from the city, widows of deceased policemen had been receiving $39.35 from the special fund, which was established by an act of the Gen. eral Assembly, and which received funds by reductions of one percent from the weekly wages of the po- Mcemen. There were IA widows re- ceiving payments from the fund.
 State Funds
 Widows of firemen who died in action are also receiving $500 year. ly from the city. In addition, their special fund, the Firemen's State Aid, which has no connection with the city, pays A weekly for the sup port of all surviving children, pro- vided they are not more than 16 years of age.
 The Firemen,s State Aid also pays $550 to the widow at the time of the fireman's death. This is on the basis of $l5O toward funeral expen- ses and $4O0 benefit. The state aid is maintained by monthly contribu- tions from the members of the fire department.
