Both from Argentina and Aus

CHAPTER XXXI
"By night," Bourne's inexorable
eoke went on, "the river will be so
firmly frozen in places that no boat
can break through. The trip over
land . is quite Impossible until aH
st reams are frozen and covered with
snow. It will be two months before
the Stildne is safe for dog-team
travel."
He fen silent
Denny felt as though she were
caught in a trap, but she would fight
craftily, unscrupulously, to escape
from its clamping jaws.
When she faced Bourne again,
. she was calm with the calmness of a
cornered thing. "You win this
time," she said, in araeven voice.
"Yon are like this country that gave
. you life hard and cold and cruel.
Yon have tricked me,, therefore I
owe you nothing. , 111 fight yon with
whatever weapon comes my way.
Is the end. 111 beat you. And 111
beat this country, just as my mother
did before me." - i

at her with the same expression
that had marked his face in the clow

She felt her hatred of him flame

she commanded. "In public I shall

gay voice, "ID race yon upstairs,
Reval! And beat you too!"
Making herself laugh, she darted
past Harp and into the house, run
ning down the hall toward the stair
way. Bourne, with Tongass yelping
at his heels, raced after her, over
took her halfway up, and, complet
ing his outrages of the day, swung
her into his arms and carried her
triumphantly to the top.
"I will not stay here! I will notl"
In a passion of revolt Denny kept
repeating the words to herself as
she paced the floor of her sitting
room a week later.
Outside snow was falling, white,
muffling, and with an unearthly
quiet that was more wearing than
the raging of any storm. It had
been coming down like that without
ceasing for two days, and the mo
notony of it added a final touch of
misery to her , feeling of being
trapped by the country and by
Revelry Bourne.
For a week she had spent every
waking hour trying, without suc
cess, to devise some means of escape.
It was not until this morning, when
she overheard Harp and Honey-jo
discussing the arrival of a plane
from Atlin, that a possibility had
presented itself.
The plane was scheduled to ar
rive ' in - Tarnigan the day before
Thanksgiving three weeks distant
bringing the only mail due until
dog teams took up the regular postal
run. Somehow she must get aboard
that plane which was returning inv
mediately to Atlin. There she could
hire another that would land her in
San Francisco in three days. San
Francisco! Home! Sylvia and
yes, friends! For she had ceased to
care what any one thought about
her jilting or her sudden marriage
and its termination. - The only thing
that mattered now was to escape
from Tarnigan and from the cock
sure Revelry Bourne, who was her
jailor. '
- The difficulty that concerned her
most at present was the necessity
of getting aboard the plane without
Bourne's knowledge. She was try
ing to concentrate on this when
Pinecone brought her a radiogram.
v As soon as the maid had left the
room, she drew the enclosure from
its envelope. It was from Sylvia
who, with characteristic disregard
of cable tolls, informed her daughter :

Denny crushed the sheet in her
hand. Her last prop had been
swept from under her. Her mother,
her lover, her stepfather all had
deserted her. She was alone. Home
less. -
In sudden overwhelming despair,
she threw herself on the couch and
burst into tears.
- It was not onto her first anguish
had spent itself that a disconcert
ingly practical thought jarred into
nermind. The River House money!
Sylvia was using it for her trip
every cent that Bourne had den-sit
ed to the joint account of herself
and her mother in a San Francisco
bank. That meant that Denny was
penniless ; utterly dependent for
tunas on ner pseudo husband.

still there was no sign of the plane.

At the same time three men with
odd black rolls under their arms ran
down the bank and went toward

a dim, high droning. The distant

High Price Looms
For Valley Seed
Willamette valley seed crops
this; year will command the
highest prices paid In many
years.' That is the opinion of
Harley O. White of the Jcnks
White Seed firm which handles
a large portion of the seed crop
now being harvested or about to
be.
In most cases, White reports,
the crop is heavy, so high prices
are not the' result of scarcity.
As an example, the alsike seed
crop of approximately 35 to 49
cars estimated as compared to
25 In 1936 is the largest erer
In history: A record price I
22 to.. 24 .cents, per.. pound will
be paid for alsike.
! JJed, clover, at 25 cents, is a
thort crop this year, but the
price 'H excellent. Rye grass is
down 40-per cent in production
but - high .prices of to.
cents -prevail. Linn county is
the heaviest grower of this type
of seed, but Marion has large
acreage.. .
Vetch. Just beginning to ap
pear, . will not be a large crop
this season as vetch goes, but
is doing better than expected
eirller. The market has not
settled .down. . but ' the expected
prices' of 3- ., cents . per pound
for- Hungarian to 7. cents for
hairy vetch" is considered high.
: pnion.seed is not handled by
the company and most of it is
now under , contract to eastern
seed . dealers. , but here again it
s said the crop Is . excellent as
farvest approaches.
The only seed , crops said to
have suffered . materially from
natural damages are the radish
and turnip . seed crops. Injured
by the flea beetle. The turnips
have also suffered from the
freezing weather of last winter.
