GLYNN-WARD Claudia Townsend meets Dick Whalen at a hockey game in Seattle one night. Her interest in Dick infuriates Wallace Bornell, rich young lumberman, who wants to marry her. To get Dick out of the way, Wallace gives him a job in one of his lumber camps in British Columbia. At the camp, Dick accidentally discovers that Bornell's men are working stolen timber lands. He asks for an explanation, but Braddock, the boss, puts him off and next day leaves for Seattle. The following day, Claudia stops in at Bornell's office and, by ehar.ce, overhears Bornell and Braddock plotting to do away with Dick. Claudia goes to the camp at Burns Lake to warn Dick. At the camp, she learns from Ching, the Chinese cook, that Braddock, who has arrived first, has sent Dick off on a long trip, with a man, Moriarty, who hates h'm. Moriarty has instructions to "Come back a'one!" CHAPTER IX Claudia sat staring in front of her. Dick Whalen had gone out tc his death this morning! In answer to her thoughts, there came a nervous chuckle from Ching Lo. "I t'ink maybe Moliarty kill Missa Whalen!" "Oh, no!" she gasped. She gulped down some coffee to steady herself. She must keep her brain clear, think quickly. :'Do you know which way they "Sure, sure! Look outa window and see 'em go--that way, far 'way from others. Cross lake by east.

At the same time the siren blew for the dinner "You better come over to my office, Miss!" he said. "The boy; are just coming in " ' She saw men now making for the cook-house door from all parts. Some of them, she noticed, went across to another building first. "What's over there?" she asked. "That's ths store," Braddock told her. "We h^vc to keep a supply o' necessities on hand." "I'll go ever there," she said. "I want some cigarettes." asked pleadingly. He shook his head violently. "No, no! All man velly 'flaid of bossee-man in this camp." What could she do? Go alone after them? Was Ching Dick's only friend in this place? "You* are Mister Whalen's friend, Ching. -Would you do him a big "Sure, sure," he nodded, smiling.

CUMARD WHITE STAR DONALDJON AT LAN TK LINE She walked quickly to the store. There might be someone there who could tell her of Dick. The man at the store seemed surprised. "Why, no, I've not. seen Mr. Whalen since last night. Guess he'll be back for supper." She saw the man's eyes go over her head. She turned and saw that Braddock had followed her. As she walked slowly out cf the store, she told herself sternly that she must control her wits as well as her motions. She must disarm suspicion! Already Braddock had been allowed to see too clearly that she suspected him. She must pretend to he an innocent fool, a silly girl just out for a lark. "Where is the lake?" she asked, smiling up at him. "Do show me the Claudia forced herself to make inane conversation as they walked to the top of the hillock and looked across that vast expanse of snow-cov-vas the lake.

She couldn't go alone-- perhaps find herself unprotected with the fiend who had been sent out to murder Dick! Ching was her only friend. She might do-worse than^ take him with her. She must get in touch with him again. Back in the office, she held up her skis for Braddock's inspection. "Have you ever tried skiing, Mr. Braddock? Often Mr. Bornell and I have been out on long trips on Mt. Rainier. I'd hoped he'd come up here with a party. My skis are terribly dry, they have to be kept well-oiled, you know. Do you think that funny old Chinese cook would give me something to oil them with?" "Why sure!" said Braddock, a little puzzled by her seeming friendliness. "I'll take 'em over and tell him to oil 'em." "Oh, don't trouble, I'll go!" She picked up loth skis and ski-poles and started across to the cook-house. Already the men had dispersed from dinner. Braddock, of course, accompanied her. He saw that Ching had the right kind of oil, saw also that she had no one else to talk to just then, so he left her for a minute. "Ching!" she Mister Whalen?" "Sure I come, Missee! Better not go till dark!" "Ching. I'll pay you lots of money if you cone! I'll leave my skis here Jiu-jitsu Being Studied by Women NEW YORK.--Women are studying jiu-jitsu today--for self-protection. Five women have enrolled for instruction under Prof. K. Nakae, whose "shingle" reads; "Jiu-jitsu -- "Self-defense taught privately to men or women by native authority." "Every woman should l*iow jiu-jitsu," said the professor. "Men should be glad to see their women studying it. I sometimes think women live a more hazardous life every year." The modern girl or woman is capable of looking out for herself when dealing with gentlemen, said Nakae, but "unfortunately not every A woman who finishes a course knows how to knock a man out, if need be. Farmers Want Share With the rising cost of living becoming a serious matter in the Irish Free State the farmers of the country are complaining to the Dublin government that they are paying their share of the rise in foodstuffs but are not receiving any. They protest that the tariff problem is aggravating their troubles. The dairymen point out that Australian butter is being sold in the Free State at 30 cents a pound while Irish butter commands only 20 and 25 cents across the water. Entrance of New Zealand butter into the country has just started another protest. Farmers have joined with the dairymen and declare they are determined to make their claims heard by the Government. WASHINGTON-- A brain opera tion has returned to health a patient completely bed-ridden for two years, Dr. James W. Watts and Dr. Walter Freeman of George Washington University said last week. They told the Medical Society of the District of Columbia that the operation, which previously had been found effective in treating serious mental disorders, also had remedied a physical disorder. The woman on whom the operation was performed had been unable to walk for two years and suffered ah most continuous intense pains in the back. Her symptoms indicated rheumatic heart disease and arthritis, the surgeons said. She had averaged one operation every six months for five years without growing any better. Almost as a last resort Dr. Free-nan and Dr. Watt performed the operation. It consisted of boring two holes in the skull just below the hair line and cutting 12 cores about the size of marbles in the pre-frontal lebes of the brain, just behind the forehead. The cores were not removed, but their connection with the surrounding brain tissue was severed. The bed-ridden patient was able to walk again three days later, and ii the intervening five months has not been in bed for a single day. Her intense pains were said to have been reduced to only a slight tenderness of the back. Bees do not get honey from flowers. ! They get nectar, which they transform into honey by adding certain j enzymes. These convert the complex sugars of the raw nectar into jsimple sugars, known to chemists fts dextrose and levulose.

So Claudia sauntered "Teft you what, Miss Townsend,': of Whalen's. She agreed to go. The splendid team of horses crossed the lake at a heavy trot, but the two men driving were stupid, and too amused at the idea of their unusual freight to answer questions sensibly. Claudia grew uneasy. Another team was coming towards them, pulling a heavy sled full of lumber. She determined to stop and ask the drivers if Whalen was at work where they SHAW SCHOOLS LIMITED Dept.
