Behind the issuance of a wilt and the scheduled hearing of a case at Dauphin, Man., is a story of how millions have elusively crossed the path of this most famous of Canadian woman prospectors, who, however, today faces the future confident that 20 yea re' endeavor on her nickel and copper claims will some day bear abundant fruit G. E. Herman, one of her later as sodates in the development of claims at one time valued at $5,000,000, situ ated on Rice island.

It was In 1922, by staking her now famous claims on Rice Island, that the seeds were sown for the approaching legal battle.

Making and Holding Fortune It takes a great deal of boldness nixed with a vast deal of caution, to acquire a great fortune; but It then takes ten times as much wit to keep it after you have got it as it took to Blake it--Rothschild. V/f ARJORIE LAWTON looked St her handsome, disturbed lover with amused yet tender eyes. "You and father and the whole family cannot understand why I enjoy this settle ment work, why I am willing to live out the years down here In the slums --and it Is useless of you to try to understand," she said quietly. Duke's face was white. "But my dear Marjorie, I simply must have youLl I'll do anything for you! C6me --be sensible--and help me make a home!" Her gray eyes were wistful. "Dick, I do like you, but you see I want to do things with my own hands--and that makes all the difference!" His jaws set. "I don't see It! I more than half believe you Sre in love with Senter--a ward boss!" "Don't be rude, Dick. He is a good friend." ' Returning to thci office she found Senter waiting. He turned toward her and his blue, steady eyes brightened and shadowed. "Marjorie, there Is to be a strike In the factories, and that means trouble. I wish you would give up your trips into the 'Kitchen.' Don't go down tonight." She laughed. "Just when I am needed you want me to quit I have just been invite<f> to quit for good." "I see, Duke. If I lose you--" He did not finish the sentence. All that Duke and Senter had said to her came back that evening when she threaded, the maze of the section known as the "Devil's Kitchen"-- Duke's request, Senter's warning. Danger lurked^ In every shadowy corner, but she had gone safely by it for months. She was sorry, nevertheless, that Mrs. O'Rory had had to choose such an evening to call for aid from the settlement house. Suddenly, as dhe started up the stairs, her arms were pinioned behind her firmly, something was thrust lhto her mouth and a voice said softly In her ears: "No noise and you will be safe!" She was carried swiftly down the stairs to a waiting car. She was lifted in--and then her courage broke, but before she could endeavor to escape three forms shot from the sidewalk, and a low, throaty voice said: "Hold on; what are you doing with Miss Lawton?" "Go wan wltb ya," the man in front of her said. "This-ain't her I" The car started. A dark form leaped In upon the driver and the car stopped. A revolver flared and banged near her. Curses broke sharply. "Hold on I Hold on!" a voice said. "We give up, Blake. It's a joke, anyway." "A Joke?" a sharp voice said. "Well, Keell, you'll have to tell that to Senter. Take her up, Grlf." She was stunned and dazed and hardly heard the arguing voices beside her and around her. Only when she found herself facing Senter in the office of his tenement flat did her, old Independent self rally. He came to her suddenly, his face tense. "My dear, what do^s this mean?" She saw In his eyes his sense of the danger she had met. "Keeli can tell you," Blake's cold voice said. Keeli looked troubled. "It was a joke, that's all. Old man Duke's son, Dick, put it up to us to give this girl a good scare, and we was doln' it when Blake bobbed up--that's all." Senter's jaws were lined In white. Marjorie looked up and smiled. "It was some wild scheme on his part, Glenn, to cure me. He was pretty desperate this afternoon. Let them go, please, and then take me home." She realized in that moment how weak and weary she was. At his nod the men filed out, and he turned to her, putting a reassuring arm around her shoulders. "I will take you home and then you must promise me to stay there until the trouble Is over, for I may not be--" He paused. "What, Glenn?" she asked, some sense of what he meant dawning upon her, and with it coming a thrill in her warm heart that Duke had never stirred. "Well, it's just this: yon are a beautiful girl and there is never a day when yon have not been in danger--" "And your men have been keeping watch over me," she added, softly, and she remembered hundreds of incidents which showed how faithful that watch had been; his love hajl been with her like a sheltering arm in her fearless journeys where the other settlement workers would not go. She drew his arm around her watot and glanced up at him, trembling a bit as she saw In his eyes the tremendous meaning of the love he bore her. If she but said the word that love would be hero--that strong, faithful arm would shelter her to the end of her days, and he and she would spend the years In the toll that was dear to the heart of each. "Take me home, Glenn, and then some day, if you ask me nicely, perhaps I'll come and stay--with you-- always I Now--don't you kiss me-- just--" She felt his lips on Iter hair. "I know, deal-," was all he said, and she knew that just as he knew then how weary she was with excitement and shock, so would he know and understand through the happy, yeait to come. TAKES ANOTHER SHARP DROP poffee bids fair to elbow all other commodities out of the limelight inso far as repeated price reductions are concerned. And with each price re duction the smile of the housewife broadens. For coffee is one of the food items to be reckoned with when the manager of home affairs makes up her weekly food budget. The latest cut in coffee is put into effect by the A & P Food Stores and the prices announced show a radical reduction from previous prices. These new low prices apply to three nationally known brands--Eight O'clock brand, Red Circle brand and Bokar. These three coffees are now selling in A&P stores at prices 25 per cent less than the regular prices of two or three months ago. Announcements by the A&P Food Stores point out that the continued decline in, the prices of coffee at wholesale provided the opportunity for the present sharp retail price redutions now effective. The fact that the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, a nation-wide system of chain food stores, 15,000 in number, has promtiy followed the decline in the wholesale prices of coffee with equivalent retail reductions would seem to refute the idea held by many observers that large organizations move slowly when it comes to passing on to the public savings made possible by lower commodity prices.

MINNIE JONES "I was miserable and unhappy, with different chronic ailments and then Konjola made a wonderful change,' said Mrs. Minnie Jones, 1321 Forrest Hill street, Peoria.. "For sevezal years my stomach had given me trouble. After every meal gas formed. My heart beat wildly and I choked for air. Often I belched up particles of food. Ahout eighteen months ago a severe case of neuritis developed, and anypne who has known the pangs of this disease can understand what I went through. "Numerous friends recommended Konjola to me and I determined, finally, to find out what it would do. It did not take long for me to realise that I was on the right track. Soon my food began digesting better and as I continued all aigns of stomach trouble vanished. Soon the neuritis pains eased up. All my ailments vanished and glorious health ^pok the place of pain and suffering. Konjola is sold in McHenry, 111., at Thomas P.
