' 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 sorry there ain't soma more
women here at Llnderman, but
there ain't. We had one a doc

"f met her at I.nke Marsh."

The speuker turned iucstiungly
upon Phillips, who made hiinHlf
known. I'm a family man. Mr.
Phillips Ih a well, he's a good
packer. That's all I know .about
him. 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."
I.lnton'a eyes twinkled os-Jie said,
"I've never et with the nobility
and don't known as I'd like her
diet, for a steady thing, but the
baking-powder Is In that box and
we fry wit h bacon grease,"
Wood nhd water were handy,
the Countess Courtenu had a
quick and cnpahlo way, therefore,
Supper ,wus not long delayedo. 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."
"Il't very simple," the Countess
told Mm. "I hnvo important bus
iness 'outside.' I couldn't go
down the river, for tho Yukon is
low, tho fltcnme.i-8 aro aground on
the flats, and connections ut St.
Michael's are, uncertain at best.
Naturally t canto up against tho
stream . 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."
"You seem to bo In a rush, Mr.
Union haxsarded. mildly.
"I nm now and .then. If yon
don't mind I'll turn In. for I must
b In Dyea to-morrow night."
The Countess Courtt-au, II seem
ed to him, was n unique specimen
und extremely hard to classify, In
that she was neither old nor
young or. what was even more :
pulling. In thnt she was both.!
In years she was not far advan

"Who is Mr. Union?" the

Just an ordinary stampeder,
like tho rent of us, I think."
"He's more than that. He's

Phillips approved of the- Count
ess Courteau this morning even
more than he had on the even
ing previous, tind they had not
walked far beforo he realized
that as a traveler she was the cit
uul of him or nny man. She was
lithe and strong and light of foot;
the way she -covered ground n
wokrt 1iIh sincere ad nitration, fihe
did not trouble to talk 'much and
she dispensed with small talk In
others; sho appeared to bo nb
so rbed In her own a f f rt I rs, and
engage In conservation. .The more
Phillips studied" her nnd the bet
ter neiunlnteil he became with her
the Inrger proportions did she as
sume. 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. It's a hard country! not
one In a hundred will prosper."

"Friends of
Yours"
Peiliaps vou never think of it in this way but
there is a lot of news about friends of yours in this
paper right now. 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.

Give The Children
A Good Start
You would not wilfully injure the eyes of your
children, nor any other part of their precious little
bodies. Yet are you laying the foundation for per
fect health for the rest of their lives? , .
Take just one period of a child's day home study.
Unless your home is adequately and properly light
ed, you may be undermining your child's eyesight.
Poor health will follow.
Is it worth the paltry cost?
Eastern Oregon Light & Power Co.
The extra cost of really efficient lighting is very
small. Our service is yours for the asking. We
will be glad to map out proper lighting for your
home.
A total of 500 kilowatts in connected service is
available at a moderate price.
Just one-tenth of one kilowatt or 100 in wattage
in additional lamps,' might be all that is needed to
save your children from suffering as the result of
poor eyesight.
