(Continued) ' lurlnK this speech, delivered 10 a- matter-of-fact, biislm-BH-llke tone, the owner of the tent hud managed to overcome his first sur prise; he removed his lint now and began with an erfort: "I'm a had hand nt hfjwlnff par dons, miss, but you see I've been suffering the pangs of bereave ment lalely over some dear, de parted grub. I thought yon were a thief and 1 looked forward to the pleasure of seeing you dance. I apologize. Would you mind tell ing me where you came from?" ''From Pn wson." There was a -silence the while the flaxen haired woman eyed her interro gator less disdainfully. "Yes, by' poling hoat und Mrch-hark. I'm not fleeing 'tho law; I'm not a 'cache-robber." "You're all alone?" Tho woman nodded, '"fan you BtOw me away for the night? You may nnmo your owh price." 'The price won't crlpplo you.

I'm safe and sane, but he's ubout the. right age to propose mnrriuge to you as soon as he gets his breath. A pretty woman in this country has to expect thut as you probably know" The woman smiled and shook hands with both men, exchange ing a grip us firm und strong as theirs. ,"1 am the Countess L'ourt euu," said she. "The vhlel Mr. UrnVm queried with a stnrt. Tho Countess laughed frunkly "It Is 1'Yench. hut I'm a Dane, I think my husband bought the ti tle they're cheap In his country. Me was a poor sort of count, and I'm a poor sort of countess. Hut I'm a tood cook a very good cook Indeed and If you'll excuse my looks and permit mo to wear your sweuti'r I'll preparo supper."

The tent wus not equipped for house keeping, henco the diners held their plates In their laps and el til er harpooned their food from tho frying pnn or ladled it from tin cans, but even so It had a flavor tonight so unaccustomed, so dif ferent, thnt both men grnspod the poignunt fact that the culinary art is mysteriously wedded to fo mulo hunds. Mr. Linton voiced this thought in his own manner. "If u countess cooks like this," ho observed. "I'd sure love to board with n duke." Later, while tho dishes were being washed and when ills visitor had shown no .Intention of explaining her pre sence in furthor detail, he said, whimsically: "See here ma'am, our young friend has been watch ing you like ho wus afraid you'd disappear beTore h gets an eye ful, and it's plain to bo seen that he's devoured by curiosity. As for me, I'm totally lacking In that miserublo trait, and 1 ubhor it in others; but all the same, if you don't see fit Jo to ,ys(jprr,tt ygu-Ic 'how you cnm'o .to ' pole up for Duwson und whii ' In Heaven's name, a woman like you Is doing hero, alono and without benefit of chaperon. 1 shall pass nway in dreadful agony."

I'vo been working 'up stream' all my life." 'She flashed htm u smile ut this latter state ment. "As for n chaperon I've never felt the need of one. Do you think they're necessary in this country?" "Does your husband, Count " "My husband doesn't count, Thnt's tho trouble." Tho speaker laughed again and without tho faintest trace of embarrassment. "He. has been out of my picture for years." flho turned to Phillips and Inquired, nbruplly, "What is tho packing price to Hheep Camp?" "Pifty cents a pound, coming this way. Oolng back It is noth ing," he told her, gallantly. "I haven't much to curry, but If you'll take It I'll pay you the regulnr price. I'd like to leave at dfly-Ught."

Well, he's my cross; I s'pone I've got to beitr him." "Who is Mr. Union?" the Countess Inquired, a she und Ti erce left the village behind them.' Just an ordinary stampeder, like tho rent of us, I think." "He's more than that. He's tho Hind who'll go through and make good.

Not only wns she complet ely misti-cfts of herself, but she had a forceful, compelling way with others: there was a natural!' air of. authority about her, and she managed In some subtle man ner to invest herself and her world's , with Importance. Hhe wns quite remarkable. "I didn't drenni so many were coming," said she. "It's getting worse daily," Pi erce told her, "Dyea is jammed, and so Is Hkagway. The trulls are alive with men." "How .many '"o you think will come?" "There's no telling. Twenty, thirty, fifty thousand, perhaps. About half of 1 hem turn back when they see the Chilkott." q "And the rest will wish they had.

Friends who serve you daily who lighten your work amuse your leisure con tribute to your welfare and to the pleasure of your life. Advertised products familiar faces that you find in your living-room, bedroom, bath, kitchen, garage and yard. Long association with them has proved their "friendship" to be valuable, T?:c advertisements are little intimate word 'pic tures of these "commercial friends." Advertisements tell you how they are made, what they arc doing, and how and where to get them. , As a general rule, there is nothing familiar or. "friendly" about the appearance of an unadver tised product. You seldom see it in the paper the stores or even in homes. Largely because the great "buying public has learned that the advertised product is the friend to tic to. REAP THE ADVERTISEMENTS REGULARLY THEY ARE MESSAGES FROM.
