At Nome, Rowan came unon. a meeting of Michigan folks scheduled so he attended. As an old man was leaving the meeting Jim started, leaned forward, his eyes fixed upon the stranger's bearded cheek . . . Now go on with the story. CHAPTER IIT Jim rose and followed the man out of the building. Hiram Mortis here? In Alaska! It was incredible. Mote this bent figure of. discouragement the onse mighty man of Michigan, the colossus of Jim's youth. Mr. Morris shuffled along the street, shaking his head and mutter- ing to himself. As he passed the en- trance to a bakery whence issued the ravory odors of fresh bread, pies, and spicy cakes he paused, lifted his face, and breathed deeply. He halt- .ed again before a restaurant inside the show window' of which were dis- "played raw steaks and chops and cold-storage chickens upon a bed of that thin, eager face and he experi- enced a shock. Good God! the man was hungry! Hungry in Alaska! No- body had ever gone hungry on the Yukon. What kind of a camp was this? ' 4 Famished Trail Dog Holding his voice to a casual tone, he said: "Excuse me, but I'm looking for a clean cafe. Can you tell me . where the gamblers eat?" - "Right here, 1 believe. It is the most expensive place in town." The speaker's gaze remained fixed upon the window. "I'm a stranger here and 1 know a soul. Won't you join me?"

"Why, you don't know me! Besides----I'm not dressed for a place like this. 1 thank you, but M4 "Come on. You'll be doing me a favor." Jim held the door open and waited for the ragged figure to pre- cede him, then he selected a table in one of the booths and ordered a meal "for two which: caused his guest to say: "My dear sir, you can't be familiar with Nome prices. A T-bone steak is seven dollars--and those fresh veg- etables! Why, you've ordered a mil- lionaire's banquet." "Well, it'is a sort of -hanquet with me. It celebrates an occasion." "Indeed?" . . "I .met ani old friend to-night; a man from my home town. Mr. Morris was ready and willing to talk about Nome. He had failed greatly and he was at a garrulous age, but about himself he had little to say and it was some time before Jim managed to discover that he had "been here for two years, mining, but without success, That Old Friend "You know how it is," he explain- ed with a tremulous smile; "it takes time to develop a placer property when you-have no capital. But I have a splendid claim and one of these 'days I'll land in the pay." The two men chatted their food was served, and, inasmuch as the host had not seen fit to intro- duce himself, the guest did not make himself known. It was not until the latter had eaten ravenously, to his complete satisfaction, and had light- ed an expensive cigar of Jim's selec- tion, that the younger man said: "Perhaps you'd like to hear about that old friend I met. He was a big man in our town and I was a poor kid, hut he gave me sonie advice that I've tried to live up to. It came about like this: one morning we were hav- school-house when he drove past in his cutter." ) speaker. "I don't know what possessed me, but 1 threw a ball at him. It was ice. 1t hit him, hurt him like the devil. I'd have been fired from school only for him. He----" "Where was this?" "It was in Dover. You took me to the principal' and----"" 2s "Why, this is extraordinary! Then your name is--Rowan., You're Jim Rowan's boy." And you recognized me, after all these years!' Mr. Mor- ris was deeply moved. "I couldn't fail to recognize that scar on your cheek, sir, inasmuch as I put it there." . "My dear boy!" The old man took Jim's hand in both of his, "How strange that we should meet like this! And how you fooled me! You had your little joke, didn't you?" "Merely because I wasn't you knew who I was." Mr. Morris confessed veluetantly: "I--I'm not sure that I would have accepted, Jim. You see, times have changed; things haven't gone well with me and it hurts a man's pride to acknowledge failure to his friends. I have some pride left. That's why I'm not goipg back until I land in the pay. Now that you know everything, I'm going to make a confession: I was--actually hungry when you in- vited me in!" "Hell of a camp, to lee a man go hungry!" Rowan éxclaimed, harshly. RUN-DOWN?

I've no sympathy for these wasters who squander their money over bars and gambling tables." Rowan nodded gravely; he spoke the literal truth when he said: "Nei- ther have L."

The Jast census showed there were three men to every woman in the country in the age group 20 to 24, Mrs. Suth- erland pointed out, City Vs.

The girl was a po: "tential economic factor. She could learn bee-keeping, horticulture, gar dening, poultry raising, "something to add to the farm income and fit in with natural aptitude." With this in mind "we have advo: cated establishment of short courses where girls conld learn these things."
