She drove a sleek, fat lit. tle pony hitched to a marvelous wick- 'er dogcart, the envy of every child in town, and to Jimmy Rowan she rep- resented all that was both desirable and unattainable. "By the time he was fifteen he was hopelessly in love with her and he carved hearts and arrows on all the trees In his yard--and- initialed them with interlocking R's and J's. He wrote her passionate misspelled" love notes and in words of fire he told her of his undying devotion. He never sent -the notes, of course, and his declarations were only whispered to the empty air, for he still remained "the Rowan kid"; his people were desperately poor and he was cursed with a sensitive pride. Jim was surprised one day to hear that My. Iliram Morris had 'gone out of business" and was leaving for the 'West. What that meant the boy did . mot know, but he understood that the Morris fortune was not what it had been. Rose and her mother remained dn Dover. They lived on much as usual and they referred vaguely to those large interests which kept Mr. Morris away from home. But the pony and dogcart were gone and so were the high-stepping bays. It was while Jim wag working his way through. coel- lege that they quietly moved away. The Morris house sold for barely enough to pay the mortgage. Loathing For Poverty Some people endure poverty cheer- fully, other with a grim stoicism; the majority of people who are born poor accept it with a fatalistic resignation and never look forward to anything else. £ Jim Rowan wag unlike any of these, He loathed poverty; it was unendur- able.

It took him quite a while, however, to realize that riches are not come by in a hurry and that he was getting nowhere, _ He had lost track of the Morrises completely--there was no use of keep- ing in touch with them--but he still had his day-dreams, he still thought of himself as Rose's prince who soon- er or later would search her oat and seat her upon.a throne. Depression seized him occasionally when he saw how hopeless was the task he had set for himself. : At such times he grew desperate and he told himself that no price was too great to pay for success; he long- ed for. some opportunity of becoming suddenly rich and vowed that he would sell his soul for such a chance, The chance came finally, or it seem- ed to come, with the news of the Klon- dike discovery. Jim joined the first rush to the Yukon and he arrived in Dawson City with the firm determin- ation to make a fortune somehow, anyhow. Here again however, he learned that money was not to be had for the asking. New Code of Morals Placer mining was a hazardous un- dertaking, with the odds a thousand to one against success, Education counted for little in a country where men were judged on a pick-and-gshovel basis and paid for the actual work they did. Jim saw that here was not the place in which to earn a fortune; here was nothing - but speculation, 'chance, a gamble either with men or with nature. ; In order to beat the game one had to risk all, then double his winnings and risk them again and again. To gamble here was not a sin, it was. the daily practice of everybody. "Men gambled with death when they hit the trail; they gambled again when they staked their labor and their time against Nature's bedrock secrets, only they "took longer chances than when they heaped their chips on the rou- lette table or dropped their "pokes" on the high card. There was this dif- ference, too;- Nature seldom: played fairly, whereas there were many square gambling houses in Dawson. Jim Rowan fitted himself to his new swrroundings and' adapted him- self to a new code of morals, He played as other men played, except in one respect; he never played for the excitement or for the fun of it, he played only to win. He played for Rose Morris. He tried speculating in claims, but he was unlucky; his only winnings came from the manipulating of Dawson City real estate or at cards, and the time when he found himself the owner of a huge Front Street saloon and gambling house, to- gether with a nickname of the Alas- kan flavor, Perhaps a score of people knew him as James Rowan, but to the thous- - ands that went in and out of his place he was "The Michigan Kid." That wag the way he even signed his checks, for the name had brought him luck, and superstitiously he clung to it. ' Life flowed at a furious pace in those early days. Reputations were made in a night; in six months they were hallowed; in a year they had become legendary. There wére' many celebrities in the Yukon country the mere mention of whom evoked tales of sensational exploits on the trail, at the mines, or at the gambling ta- bles; the one perhaps best known of ~ all was "The Michigan Kid."

In a quick, piping voice, Jean Kath- leén Demers, 3-year-old prodigy of Tracadie, N.S., rattled off wisecracks and random fagts. from an appar- ently inexhaustible fund of knowl- edge at New Yark. last week. "Just ask me.anything you like," |" she said. "They call me the walking hook of knowledge." She knew all'the answers.
