The doctor pronounced it to be pneumonia and for Rose and Jim there sommenced a period of sleepless anv- ety. He moved her into his cabin and ried to force her to take some rest, but as for him he did not remove his clothes and scarcely closed bis eyes for nearly a week. Then Mr. Morris died. He had mut- tered almost constantly; the last word they heard him whisper were those of his favorite prophecy, "Some day I'll land in the pay." z 2 2 Zz 22 There followed the customary mel- ancholy preparation and formalities. There were still a few women left on the creeks near by and these did what they could for Rose. It was Rose who selected a burial place, upon the north "rim" of the creek -- a high bench that paralleled the bottom and that looked out across the tundra towards the open seca. It was a spot that in winter wag shelter- ed from the icy blasts; in summer it was brilliant with - wildflowers, lush with tender grasses, and fragrant with blooms -- a pleasant and peaceful place for a gentle, broken old man to sleep. Other hands were ready to dig the grave, but this was a labor that Jim Rowan reserved for his own, In due time he began it. Fortunately the rim was well drained and, once he had picked through the thin crust of autumn frost, the gravel was dry and he made good progress. He had finish- ed his melancholy task and was about to climb out of the pit, when he notic- "ed a peculiar reddish tinge to the gra- vel beneath his feet, He took a heap- ins shovelful of it and, descending to the creek, he stamped a hole through the jee and idly "'panned™ it on the shovel blade. To Start Something Ile was engaged thus when young Hayward and two of his men ap- proached. Jim rose -and leaned upon his shovel handle. He supposed these were the first two arrivals for the fun- eral, but Hayward explained: "I came up early to have a word with vou, Rowan." oe "I thought you said about every- thing the other night," Jim told him. "I'm not in any humor to --" "Oh, 1 was drunk! I made a fool of myself. Now that I know who you are, I've come prepared." Jim stared incredulously speaker; harshly he inquired: lt the "You don't mean. to say. yeu intend to start _ something today?" "Certainly not. 1 came up to serve notice on you. I've-learned how you met Mr. Morris and came out her, and I understand why you came. But Rose doesn't understand. She doesn't know you're The Michigan Kid; she thinks you're just an old friend of the fam- ily, her little playmate from the home She doesn't know it was you who offered forty thousand dollars for this claim." 'Right. She doesn't know any of those things. I suppose you intend to tell her." "I do. Unless you have enough de- cency to behave like a man." "How do you figure a man would behave?' Jim asked.

The speaker's color deepened. "Lis- ten, Rowan. I know what happened to that Jnglishman, Thompsom. He did not have any friends with him; the witnesses were all your friends. I've heard about a lot of your other fights, too -- if you can call 'em that -- and I've had a dozen warnings to lay off of you, so I provided my own witnes- ses. Now here's what I've got to say-- after the ceremony, you duck!" "And what will happen to Rose?" "I'll attend to that. She has friends enough to see her through." "If 1 don't duck, 1 suppose you'll tell her I'm a gambler and that I offer- ed to buy her father's claim for ten times what it's worth. That'll certain- ly shock her." "Oh, you had a reason for that of- fer -- more of your * "Michigan's" luck," probably! I understand you did most of the panning. Funny about that luck of yours, isn't it? Funny how ev- erybody loses when they play you. You were crooked in Dawson and you couldn't even play straight with Rose and her father. It's perfectly obvious why you came out here in the first place. Hell! Men like you ought to be shot for looking at a girl like her!" "Well, Hayward, I'm not going until 1 get ready." ~ A Brave Figure It was a dismal travesty of a fun- eral that occurred late that afters noon. A clergyman and a half dozen of Mr. Morris' acquaintances had dri- ven out from town, but even including them, there were not twenty people who followed the pine box as it was carried across the thin autumn nsow and up to.its resting place. Rose was a brave but a pitifv! fig- ure. During the final depressing rites Jim Rowan's heart bled for her. He it was who let fall the first shovel ful of carth. When the grave had been filled in he saw that Hayward and the clergyman had taken her:back down to the cabin. Jim had secured a team with which to drive the girl in to town, and while the visitors were bidding her good- by he went to his own shack and be- gan putting his few belongings togeth- er. -- He wag mystified when he could not--f-- lay his hand upon the little leather case with the old newspaper portrait of Rose, for that was about all that he really cared to take with him. He look- ed everywhere for it before he finally _gave up the search. Rowan had refused Hayward's warn- ing to leave, not because he expected Rose to reconcile herself to his past, not because he now retained the faint- est hope of ever realizing his dream, but because there was something yet to be done, and, moreover, because it was not his nature to come or to go at any man's bidding.

Dew, Oberlin, Ohio, health official, puts to rout some homespun beliefs and methods of curing or pre- venting illness. He says an apple a day will not keep the doctor away any more than a bag of asafoetida draped about the neck, although, he adds, may make his visit a bit reluctant. He says whiskey will not drown out a cold and prevent pneumonia. He de- clares that iemon juice will not cure freckles and even a clean tooth may decay. Dr. Dew discounts the belief that oysters eaten in the summer will cause gastric pains. Properly refrig- erated oysters will not, according to Dr. Dew. The jaw will not be locked though the skin be punctured by a dusty nail, and a receding chin does not necessar- ily denote weak character, the doctor says. He declares there {fs no evidence to support the following beliefs: That scarlet fever germs lurk in clothes, furniture and wallpaper for years, ' That "feed a cold, starve a fever" is good advige. Chinaman Can't Whisper Passing secrets around in company is difficult for a Chinaman, since it is almost impossible for the Chinese language to be whispered.

It interviewel girls who had been in the debutante Less than ten per cent. of the debs of 1935, '36 and '37 were married, al though it was reported that another six per cent. were looking forward to marriage during the coming sum- mer, Twenty per cent. reported their present career as "just fooling around," Fifteen per cent. named their chief activities as participation in athletics of various kinds, tennis, riding, skiing, skating. Eleven per cent. were attending university. Sev- en per cent, had taken up art, three per cent. domestic science courses. Seven of those interviewed had taken office jobs, eleven were acting as models at part-time five were salesladies in shops. exclusive One had taken up nursing. Handsome Outlay Here The process of introducing a daughter into society in Montreal or Toronto varies according to the fin- ancial standing of the parents. As the candidates come from varying grades of financial -backgiound, there is proportionate difference in the outlay. Generally sneaking, the fan- ilies that propose to sponsor dehu- tantes are expected to'have ra an- nual income of $10,000 a year, but many have much less than that. The outlay for the-year runs anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000. * The latter figure would apply to families of great wealth. There are not many such in Canada. It might be said that $5,000 would be regarded as a handsome outlay. To $100,000 To Launch Her In New York it is said that about the lowest outlay to lavrch a young- er girl into society is $10,000- and $100,000 is spent.-by the ultrarich. There has developed some aspects of a racket in the debutante formal- ity. Certain business concerns try to urge as many debs as possible to get into the running. It is a splen- did circulator of money. As the ma- jority of those aspiring to thus break into society, can afford the outlay, why not? The tragedy is associated with those who cannot afford it, who _spend their money _in..a. doubtful project, in order to keep up with the Joneses. - Diet - Impo:tant For Happiness Bernard Shaw Agrees That Dis- crimination In Choosing Suit- able Food Is Important George Bernard Shaw has seconded Gladys Swarthout's recent claim that five years of married happiness could be credited to the fact she and her husband avoided irritating foods. "The lady's ideas should be taken seriously,"-Shaw said. "They are per- fectly sound. I should think the diet of most people who can afford all the food that they need is enough to drive them crazy. Tastes Are Different "My wife and I hag Bogs maffid 40 years. Our life been: stormy. We eat entirely different meals.

Christies Biscuits "Theres a Christie Biscuit for every taste® "" Easter Holiday Meals" There have been more 'curious cus- toms connected with Easter in the past, than with any other religious festival. - Some of these we still ob- serve though we have long since lost track of the original ~ significance. The name Easter is believed to have originated from the Saxon word Os- ter, which meant rising. No doubt some of the customs observed in the past were hang-overs from pagan rites and in the change from pagan- Christianity, the original meaning was lost but the form of these often strange practices was In one section of England it used to be the rule for men to "lift" the women on Easter Monday and the women to do the same to the men on Easter Tuesday. This was done by two people making a chair of their crossed hands and so "lifting" the third person. was that of playing ball in churches for a prize of tansy cakes or tansy puddings. Though ba playing has been discontinued inside churches, tansy cakes and. puddings are still favourite dishes in many parts of England. Here in Canada we still present children with. colored eggs, toy rab- bits and fluffy baby chicks. Easter is a happy season of the year and aside from the deep religious signi- ficance there are many other reasons for rejoicing. The long week-end holiday provides a grand chance for family reunions, which of course means extra nice dinners, Here is a fish dinner which will help to solve the problem of "what to serve."

The genoral survey follows: & American women.--Not ifraid to be ~ original and personal and are usually amusing.

Ruch more wordy than they need be, Canadian women.--Ofteu iack grace and diction, but seem to have a per- ., sonal charm which gets them a hear- ing readily.

How To Transform An Ugly Duckling Into a Lovelo Womans Dore By Emphasizing the Better Characteristics It's always a little saddening to meet a woman who spends a great deal of time bemoaning the shape of & her mouth, her height, the size of her 'hands and other physical characteris. tics she's not likely to be able to do anything about. . me? No one likes a girl who-.is thor- oughly conceited about her looks, but it's a mistake to have such a narrow idea of what constitutes beauty that you never are pleased with yourself, Keep in mind that everyone can be attractive. * Not beautiful, perhaps, but attractive. Furthermore, it's just possible that, as in the casa of the fabled Ugly Duckling, several features which you think are ugly rea'iy aren't ugly at all. ) For Beautiful Feet When, for exan- , did that old x bromide, "all feet are homely," get under way? All feet aren't homely, Only those which «re misshapen with corns, callouses and bunions are. The rest are pratty nice--as nice as hands anyway. So if you have corns or other foot ailments, get rid of them, then learn to groom your feet carefully. The lines of a foot are just naturally pretty. If the nails of that foot are neatly shaped and carefully polished and the skin soft, white and smooth, th--- the foot is beautiful.
