Claudia wires D.:ck on Friday to tell him that the job is his, but when the telegram comes, Bornell manages to intercept it. CHAPTER III. When Dick received no word from Claudia that night, he went gloomily up to bed. There was a faint hope, of course, that she might send word in the morning. In the morning, however, there was nothing in his box. Then Borneli telephoned. "What, no word from the lady fair?" he asked in a bantering tone. "Come, come, Dick, better give it up and say you'll go up north for me? Oh, by the way--we're prepared to pay your fare if you stay till spring. . . Why, certainly, Dick. That's all right, old fellow. .. . Now, be down at the depot at 12 o'clock sharp for the Vancouver train, won't you?" Dick Whalen turned away from the telephone booth disconsolately. He had committed himself to Bor-nell's offer. Even then, he waited until the last possible minute. Finally he had to call a taxi to get himself and his grips to the station. "Nothing for me yet?" he asked as he paid his bill at the desk. "Nothing at all, sir," was the Dick told the manager to hold any letters for him until he forwarded an address.

He was a big, paunchy man, with a fleshy, hairless face, and small eyes. He spent most of his time in the smoking-room, playing poker and drinking. Whalen preferred the open deck and sea wind, but he could not altogether escape conversation with this man who was to be his immediate chief. The Bornell lumber interests naturally came up as a subject of talk. "Some of the biggest holdings in North America," Braddock said. "What particular kind of timber are you taking cut now up at Burns Lake?" Dick asked. "The best of it is blue spruce," Braddock told him. "For aeroplanes?" "Sure! The best blue spruce on the continent if shipped from our camps up there." He was glad to have a newcomer to impress with his importance. Dick listened politely. At Prince Rupert they took the train, a two-day journey up the valley of the Bulkley River, to Burns Lake. It was a lonely country, snowbound now, of mountains, forests, and frozen lakes. general stores, oflces, tut the round the one i Braddoik were In the jiorning them to the ca ten miles out.

Then) they reached the camp itself. A lumber camp was no novelty td Whalen and he sized this one up as a large, prosperous one. There were the usual buildings--cook-house, the bunk-house, office, tool-shed, barns for the hcrses. barns for their feed and store-sheds.^ "Guess we'll pat you on to scaling," Sradock told Dick. "Very well, air, but I haven't done it for seme time." "WeL, we'll see how you get along at it. You go out with the boys this afternoon and get wise to what we are doing here. Whalen.

There's a cor/ '.a teams coining in now with fat loads'" Whalen sauntered out to watch teams come up dragging their huge loads of poles. The lumber was first class, evenly matched and straight. It was almost noon, so he went over to the cook-house. There he found the inevitable Chinese cook, with a white helper. He watched, the cook bearing out great dishes o: steaming meat and potatoes. "You have lots to do here, John!' he said presently to the cook. The Chinese cook looked back ously, then smiled amiably at him, "Oh, yes, yes, heap plenty wor] here! You coma stay, yes?" "Sure.

This would' be rather a jolly adventure, Dick told himself, if only his mind were at rest about Claudia. Next day Dick was cornered by a man called Moriarty, the man whom he had displaced as scaler. "You got nerve," the man snarled. "Coram' up here an' buttin' in like this!" The wcrds were nasty, and the man's jaw was thrust forward close to Dick's. Dick turned on him quickly. "If you got any kick coming, go to the boss. I take a job that's offered if it suits me. I don't want any trouble with you, but if you're looking- for a fight, you'll get it!" (To be Continued. ) War Brought Trade Boost HALIFAX. - Nine hundred seagoing vessels of all descriptions entered the port cf Halifax during the American War of Independence period between July, 1778, and November, 1781, according to Provincial Archivist D. C. Harvey in his annual report tabled with the Nova Scotia Legislature. The original list of ships,, giving the names of the crews and the passengers carried, is now in the Archives here. It was published as part of the annual report, "for the light it throws upon Nova Scotian sea-borne trade during the middle years of the American War of Independence when the headquarters of the British army were in New York and Halifax was the commercial emporium of British North America." An analysis of the list of vessels shows that Lunenburg, Liverpool, Chester, Yarmouth and Barrington kept up most frequent communications with Halifax. During the period, Lunenburg ships made 286 round trips, while Liverpool craft followed with 124. "Halifax itself seems to have done little more than send out an occasional vessel to fish, to transport hay or to carry despatches," the report comments. The list further "illustrates the extent to which prizes of war that had been condemned in the vice-admiralty court were utilized as tfte nucleus of a shipping fleet in the outlying ports before shipbuilding became an industry in the province. - "It will be seen from this list that 70 prizes or recaptures were sent out from Halifax to various ports, chiefly in Nova Scotia and the West Indies, but also to Quebec, Newfoundland, London, Glasgow and even to Madiera, and Azores and Gibraltar. It should be noted also that the first vessel to leave the province on a whaling voyage was a prize ship, the brig 'Jenny' under Stephen Atwood."

If you are planning a party, surprise your family and guests by serving them fish. Take two halibut steaks. Dip your steaks in finely sifted bread crumbs, seasoned with salt and pepper and a little Worcestershire, and fry them in salad oil. The oil cooking is splendid, for the fish does not stick to the frying pan, does not burn or smell, and cooks and browns to perfection. For the sauce, make a light-textured cream sauce, using two tablespoons of butter and one tablespoon of flour to two cups of milk, or one and a half cups of milk and a half a cup of cream or evaporated milk, well seasoned with salt and pepper and paprika and about a teaspoon of worces tershire sauce. If you wish to be particularly festive, add a can of shrimps, cut them fine and add to the sauce. Cooking the whole for half an hour, beating it while cooking . . with the egg beater occasionally.
