Her interest in Dick in-furiates Wallace Bornell, rich young timberman, who wants her to marry im. To get Dick out of the way, Wallace offers him a job in one of Lis lumber camps in British Columbia. Meanwhile, Claudia has found a job for Dick in Seattle. Bornell, however, manages to keep this news from Dick. Dick goes to the lumber camp, and there discovers that Bornell company is stealing timber. He asks for an explanation, but Brad-dock, the boss, puts him off and next day leaves for Seattle. The following day, Claudia stops in at Bornell's office and, by chance, overhears Bornell and Braddock plotting to do away with Dick. She decides to go to Burns Lake herself to warn Dick, - but Braddock sees her on the boat, and manages to arrive at the camp before she does. CHAPTER VII When Braddock arrived at the camp, he immediately sent for Jenkins, the overseer. Jenkins repprt-j ed that everything had gone on qilet-1 ly during his absence. "I want to see Moriarty," Bi ad-dock said. "Tell him to come to my office now, at once." Moriarty was the man who had been scaler before Whalen had ousted him from the job. Braddock sat down at his desk to wait. He took up a cigar, lit it, then felt in the drawer at his hand for the revolver that he always kept j] there, loaded. The man who was coming in had a black past. Moriarty opened the door and peered into the It _-^n^ftr.'^said Brad- i, leaving the dooi ajar behind him. "Shut the door," Braddock ordered. "Lock it--I want to speak to "What's all this about, boss? I ain't done nothin'-" Braddock laughed. "Sit down. Seems to me you're afraid o' something, Mister Moriarty?" "You're wrong!" said the man quickly, dropping into a chair. "I'm afraid o' nothin! What's the game ?" "Maybe I'd act that way, too, if I expected to see a cop round every corner, reminding me o' my past history!" said Braddock.

"If you're jokin'--well, you're jokin' wi' the wrong party, see!" Braddock smiles. "Moriarty--or I might say Murphy!"--he watched the other man start--"was you ever in Boise, Idaho?" "How come you know anything about Murphy? And Boise?" "Hm! Let me tell you that there ain't much Braddock don't "know about the men he has working for Moriarty was cornered, and he knew it. "Well, what are you going to do about it?" "Nothing!" Moriarty stared at him, astonished. "I'm a great man to mind my own business, Moriarty! If another man feels it best to take a change of air --and a change o' name along with it--why, I'm not interfering. But --I expect him to be grateful enough to do me a favor once in a while!" "Favor?" said Moriarty gruffly. "What's your price?" "I'm thinking,' Braddock said slowly, "of sending you along with that fellow Whalen to look over some timber we got at the east end o' Tchesinkut Lake--" "Whalen! But I hate the sight o' him-" "You hate him? Well, that'll make it easy--" Braddock leaned forward over the desk. "That's the favor I'm asking--you come back The other man's face changed. A sinister smile twisted his mouth. "So that's the game, eh? Well, if I put him Yvlipvr^h^fli'o-htlv beUui<ftv ■**T- «) I get out of it? I take all the risk!" Braddock frowned. "Well," he said. "I'll give you a thousand dollars and your time when you come back and report to me here." "One thousand-" "That's all you'll get! Now then --let's get down to brass tacks . . . This thing has got to look like an accident, see? We'll have to report his death at once. Mustn't be no gun-play, mind! Keep him out all night and get him in his sleep--or something! Report frozen to death, or smothered, or--well, I leave it to you. You come home and report it to me in great excitement. I'll give you a thousand in notes and your time. You quit. Clear out for Japan or the South Sea Islands, where it's a bit cooler than here!" "When do we go?" "I'm coming to that. You'll go bright and early tomorrow morning. Now then, Moriarty, go back to the bunkhcuse, without saying a word to anybody about seeing me. In a few minutes I'll send the night-watchman to fetch both you and Whalen here. I'll tell ycu both I want you to go out on business for me, scaling timber, see? You haven't heard nothing o' this before I tell you in front of him, get me ?" "I get you all right." "Now off with you!" Ten minutes later Whalen was aroused from sleep by the night-watchman with a message. He was wanted in the office. Hastily throwing on some clothes, Dick ran across to Braddock's office. The manager greeted him pleas- "Where's that other fellow,'Mori- U. S. Newspapers Gain In Ads Survey Reveals Increase of 12.5 Per Cent In 1936 Reported NEW YORK, -- Reporting that 44 cents of each advertising dollar spent in 1936 went to newspapers, the Bureau of Advertising of the American Newspaper Publishers' Ashociation asserted that greater promotion will return greater benefits to the newspaper business. "Newspapers have the greatest medium and the largest present-day volume of advertising," said the report, signed by Chairman Edwin S. Friendly. "This volume will grow if we are willing to promote it on a scale equal to the efforts of competing mediums." Newspapers generally, he said, are more nearly conscious of this opportunity than ever before. Newspapers received approximately 1188,000,000 in revenue from national advertisers in 1936, Friendly said, as compared to $167,000,000 in 1935, a gain of 12.5 per cent. Dividing the average advertising dollar, he said newspapers received ;ents, magazines 33.6 cents, car cards 5-10 of a cent, chain broadcasts 14 cents and outdoor advertising mediums 7.9 cents. The bureau reported to the A. N. P. A. the admission of 15 new newspap-to membership in 1936 and the resignation of 10.

Under the guiding hand of Baron Silver-eruys, the enterprising young Belgian Minister, who came to Uttawa at the New Year, the party will visit Toronto, Montreal and other industrial centres of the Dominion. The purpose of the mission is to lay the foundation for enduring relat: between the two countries and 1 on Silvercruys sees no reason why an annual two-way trade of $70,-000,000 should not be established.

While we're waiting for him, Whalen --Mr. Wallace Bornell told me he'd write to you himself about that other little matter." Morfarty came in, hair rumpled. "I went South," Braddock began, "on the question of opening up a camp in the Spring on some timber limits we got down near the east end o' Tchesinkut Lake. They want figures down in Seattle right away. I want you to start at dawn or before --round foui o'clock, so that you can be back here at night. The earlier you start the better. Better get back to bed row and get some sleep, all you can." If Dick felt surprised he didn't show it, nor did he let either man see how distasteful to him was the company chosen for him. It was all in the day's work, he supposed. "You best take charge o' the maps, Moriarty seeing at you know the lie o' this part o' the country better than Whalen." Dick went back to bed without feeling much curiosity or even interest. The trip would relieve the monotony. The fact that they had picked him for the job showed, he thought sleepily, that he might have been wrong in his former suspicions. Otherwise they would never have trusted him to find new timber limits and size up their value for them. When Claudia Townsend reached the inn at Burns Lake, she immediately asked the way to the Bornell lumber camp. She was tpld that it was quite impossible for her to get there before the next morning. She chafed at the delay. If Braddock had gone straight out therg, Dick was in immed^, dangerTBut Issue No. 19--'37 there was nothing to be done about it. She was tired from her long journey so she decided to get a good night's sleep and ordered a sleigh to call for her at dawn. "You expected at the camp?" the inn-keeper asked her. "Ye-es," said Claudia. "There ain't, as you might say, any sort o' preparation for women down there! No women in that camp at all."

Omelet-making is not an overcrowded profession, and any one showing marked gifts in that direction is credited with a skill amounting almost to wizardry. Catch hold of this frying pan. It is a thick iron one and is kept exclusively for the making of omelets. It is not washed after use, but is simply wiped clean with a cloth or tissue paper. \--J Its bottom is perfectly flat so that it cannot reel about on the gas-ring or over whatever hot flame the omelet is going to be cooked. The flame must be hot and the pan must be hot, because speed is the essence of good omelet-making. Slow cooking means toughness. For this reason, do not put more eggs into , the pan that will form a thinnish layer on the bottom. A Plain One Since the plain omelet is the basis of a thousand others, we will make Let the pan get hot, and place in it a piece of butter, which, when melted, will do no more than just cover the bottom of the pan. Three eggs is a handy number to start practice on. Break them into a basin, and beat them just enough to mix the yolks and the whites, adding a seasoning of pepper and salt. A teaspoon chopped parsely may also go into the bowl. Pour the eggs into the pan and let them spread evenly over it. Shake the pan very gently to prevent sticking, and when the under part of the omelet starts to set, lift up its edges with a thin knife and let more liquid, upper part run down below. Serve at Once Before the middle has quite set, fold the omelet over with the knife, and carefully slide it out of the pan onto a hot dish. Serve it instantly. Commit any other faux pas you like, but never keep an omelet waiting. After all, it has not kept you waiting, for an omelet is quick magic. Two or three minutes does the whole trick. still i the "There world where we can find peace--the heart of a child." --George Jessel.
