Then she found her time table and ran alopg the interminable string of sta- tion names till she found Ashcroft, from whence nothward ran theAp- pla way of British Columbia, the Cariboo road, over which she had joureyed by stage. Bhe noted the distance, and the limited's hour of arrival, and looked at her watch, Then a feverish activity took hold of her. She dressed, got her suit- case from upder the berth, and stuff- ol articles into it, regardless of or- er, That done, she set her suitcase in the aisle, and curled herself in the berth, with her face pressed close against the window, A whimsical Sie played about her mouth, and her fingers tapped steadily on the parse, therein was folded Bill Wagstaft's map. And then out of the dark ahead a cluster, of lights winked briefly, the hriek of the limited's whistle echoed up and down the wide reaches of the North Thompson, and the coaches came to a stop. Hagel took one look to make sure, Then she got softly into the aisle, took up her suitcase, and left the car. At the steps she turned to give the car porter a mes- sage. "Tell Mrs. Marsh--the lady in lower five," she said, with a dollar to quicken his faculties, "that Miss Weir had to go back. Say I will write soon and explain," She stood back in the shadow of the station for a few seconds. The limited's stop was brief. When the red lights went drumming down the track, she took up her suitcase and walked uptown to the hotel where she had tarried overnight once bhe- fore, : The clerk showed her to a room. She threw her suitcase on the bed and turned the key in the lock. Then she went over, and, throwing up the window. to its greatest height, sat down and looked steadily toward the north, smiling to herself, "I can find him," she suddenly said aloud. "Of course I can find him!" And with that she blew a kiss from her finger tips out toward the dark and silent North, pulled down the shade, and went quietly to bed, OHAPTER IX, An Ending and a Beginning Unconsciously, by natural assimi- lation, so to speak, Hazel Weir had absorbed more woodcraft than she realized in her over-winter stay in the high latitudes. Bill Wagstaff had once told her that few people know just what they can do until they are compelled to try, and upon this, her second journey northward, th truth of that statement grew more patent with each passing day. So trailing north with old Limp- ing George, his fat klootch, and two half-grown. Siwash youths, Hazel bore steadily across country, driving as straight as the rolling land allow- ed, for the cabin that snuggled in a woodsy basin close up to the peaks that guard Pine River pass. There came a day when brief un- certainty became sure knowledge at sight of an L-shaped body of water glimmering through the fire-thinned spruce. Her heart fluttered for a min- ute, Like a homing bird, by grace of the rude map and Limping George, she had come to the lake where the Indians had camped in the winter, and she could have gone blindfolded from the lake to Roaring Bill's cabin, She urged her pony through the A full-size, full-weight, solid bar of good soap is "SURPRISE."

The evening flight of the wil@ ducks from Crooked lake to a chain of swamps passed intermittently | over the clearing with sibilant whistle, of wings. To all the wild things, no less than to the two who watched and| listened to the forest traffic, it was a land of peace and plenty. "We ought to go up to the swamps tomorrow and rustle some ducks eggs," Bill observed irrelevantly--his| eyes following the arrow flight of a mallard flock. But his wife was count- ing audibly, checking the days off on her fingers. "This is July the twenty-fifth, Roaring Bill Wagstaff," she an-| nounced. "We've been married exact- ly one month." "A whole month?" he echoed, in mock astonishment. "You don't say 50? Seems like it was only day be- fore yesterday, little person." "I wonder," she snuggled up a little closer to him, "if any two people were ever as happy as we've been?" Bill put his arms across her shoul- ders and tilted her head back so that he could smile down into her face. "They have been a bunch of golden days, haven't they?" he whispered.

These remarks apply spe to children who do not realize the im- portance of taking proper care of themselves. The pec -uliar feature about Carnol is that, while it is a preparation con- taining cod liver oil, it has a deli- cious taste. Carnol is the ideal preparation for all run down conditions. It is an excellent remedy for anemia, eonsumption and all discases of a wasting nature, due to impaired nu- trition, poor and insufficient blood supply. Carnol provides food for the nerves and food for the body. It increases weight and builds up the whole system. Carnol is of special value in the treatment of all nervous conditions marked by depression of the vital forces and usually caused by prolong- ed mental strain, overwork, ner- yous prostration. Carnol has proven an exeelient remedy in Rickets, that common disease of ili-nourished «children, and in other ailments. Carnol is eomposed of that won- derful nerve tonie--glycerophos- phate salts. This is commonly know the world over as "The Blood Salts." It is the best blood builder and nerve invigorator yet discover- ed. Carnol also eontains the soluble nutritive properties of fresh beef which stimulates and nourishes the system In addition , there is cod livers' extract with all the mnauscating, bad-tasting elements removed.
