Automobiles are banned this week but if the crowd keeps coming Second street will be worn out by pedestrians. Strikes are being settled and men are going back to work. Most of the trouble was uncalled for and nearly all the walk-outs could have been postponed and controversies settled peacefully. President Roosevelt is sponsoring a movement to ban the use of poison gas in time of war. Os course warfare itself is beastly, but gas makes it more hideous and the Presidents appeal should have the hearty support of other civilized nations. Next week public officials will be busy with final compilations of budgets and fixing tax levies for next year. Tax rates are not expected to jump very much, if any, due to increased property valuations and practically full collection of taxes this year. Congratulations to all the winners in the cattle, horse and 4-H club shows. Exhibits in these shows were classed by the judges as among the best in the state and Adams county farmers were highly praised by the farm and livestock authorities for the grade and quality of products produced here. ■ Commissioner William Bell and the State Police have rendered valuable service here this week, i They have been on the job day and night, have guided traffic efficiently and courteously and have . served where.or called. Their job is to help the public and those who have seen them work know they have delivered the goods. The new Federal housing bill might be the means of building a dozen or more low cost houses in this city to replace the shelters

CHAPTER XXXI “By night,” Bourne’s inexorable voice went on, “the river will be so firmly frozen in places that no boat can break through. The trip overlanu is quite impossible until all streams are frozen and covered with snow. It will be two months before the Stikine is safe for dog-team travel.” He fell 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 a- uneven voice, i “You are like this country that gave you life—hard and cold and cruel. You have tricked me, therefore I owe you nothing. I’ll fight you with whatever weapon comes my way. In the end, 111 beat you. And I’ll beat this country, just as my mother did before me.” “It’s war, then?” He was looking I at her with the same expression that had marked his face in the glow of the binnacle when he was working the Maid through the uncertainties of the night-blackened river, “It’s war." Their eyes locked. “Very well,” he said at last. “Now —" he smiled suddenly—"that being settled, I suggest that the embattled troops retire to their joint barracks and prepare to present a solid front to the neutral host. And—may I announce that Captain and Mrs. Reval Bourne will be at home at River House this winter?” She felt her hatred of him flame in her eyes. “Never call me ’Mrs. Bourne’ again, when we’re alone! she commanded. “In public I shall play your game—for as long as it suits my purpose. But don’t try to take advantage of that in private. And remember always, both in public and in private, I shall be hating ; you I I hate you so much I could kill you now, if it were not for the penalty the law exactsl" “I havt hurt you," he said very quietly, as if to himself. And into his eyes came a soft, poignant blue light, vaguely familiar to Denny, yet elusive when she tried to place jt It was so pronounced, so arresting, that even in her anger, she kept staring at him, wondering where she had seen it before. Then, catch- i ing herself at it, she turned quickly ynd walked over to mount Holiday. He was there before her, proffering his palm. She scorned his assistance, and swinging unaided into l her saddle, hear.ed back toward l River House. He followed on his i sorrel. They rode, one behind the : other, until they reached the top of ’ the hill where the road turned to i go down past River House. Here he brought his mount alongside Holi- l day, and leaning toward her said, “I suggest, Denise, that a closer association of bride and groom might be in order as we near home. And perhaps a little carefree laughter for the benefit of the gallery. Are , you on?” Denny gritted her teeth but nodded a grudging assent And so they , drew up at the gate before the house, j talking and laughing in apparent amity. Doctor Van Cleve's gloomy eyes j were watching from the card-room window. Harp opened the front door and Tongass shot out between < his legs with woofings of welcome. , Before Denny could get off her , norse, Bourne had dismounted and I was standing below her. both arms uplifted. “Come, Deliciously Adorable!" he said, with an infuriating semblance of tenderness. , Denny raged internally. “If ( | snly dared kick him!” But she was 1 forced to aubmit while ho lifted i her from the saddle and set her i gently down on the ground. She broke from him instantly and then, i to mask her abruptness, cried in a .

gay voice, “1’1! race you upstairs, Reval! And beat you too!” Making herself laugh, she darted past Harp and into the house, running down the hall toward the stairway. Bourne, with Tongass yelping at his heels, raced after her, overtook her halfway up, and, completing his outrages of the day, swung her into his arms and carried her triumphantly to the top. • • • • “I will not stay here! I will not!” 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 monotony 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 success, 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 arrive 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 immediately 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 cocksure Revelry Bourne, who w'as her jailor. The difficulty that concerned her most at present was the necessity of getting aboard the plane without Bourne's knowledge. She was trying to concentrate on this when Pinecone brought her a radiogram. 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: dearest child since you are so HAPPILY SITUATED AT TARNIGAN WITH DEAR REVELRY FOR THE WINTER I FEEL I MUST GET AWAY FROM THE LONELINESS OF BAN FRANCISCO STOP I HAVE RENTED OUR HOME FOR A YEAR STOP PAUL IS OBJECTING AS USUAL BUT I AM TAKING HIM WITH ME TO THE SOUTH OF FRANCE STOP WARMEST LOVE TO YOU BOTH AND BLESS YOU FOR THE RIVER HOUSE MONEY WHICH I AM USING. 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. Homoless. In sudden overwhelming despair, she threw herself on the couch and burst into tears. It was not until her first anguish had spent itself that a disconcertingly practical thought jarred into her mind. The River House money I Sylvia was using it for her trip—evepr eent that Bourne had deposited to the joint account of herself her ™ th?r ln • San Francisco bank. That meant that Denny was penniless; utterly dependent for funds on her pseudo husband.

back to civilization. Enough to follow Sylvia to Europe, if she liked. And why not, she thought A startling idea sent her spirits soaring—she would meet Sylvia in Paris, and there get a divorce from Revelry Bourne! • • • • The day before Thanksgiving came at last—clear, cold, with a pale sun. Ideal flying weather. The mail plane was expected about two in the afternoon. Immediately after lunch Denny set forth, conspicuously empty-handed, to climb the trail that zigzagged up the slope back of River House to the top of the tableland above the village. There, directly back of the Thaltan grave house on the cliff, lay the only dependable landing field—a stretch that offered an unhampered sweep to the north wind which packed the snow hard and level as a floor. Ever since Denny had learned the locatioa of the landing field three weeks ago, she had made it a daily habit to go for a long, lonely walk, which eventually ended at the grave-house. And each time she had taken some necessity for travel —first a collapsible leather zipper bag, then a piece of iinge’ie, a kimono, tooth powder—any,.ling she could hide under her coat or in her pockets. That bag, fully packed now for her journey, lay hidden between two of the bone-filled chests inside the grave-house. The chief virtue in her plan to get aboard the plane lay in its simplicity. There was room for but one passenger. The instant the pilot landed for his half-hour stay, she intended to speak to him as he clambered from his cockpit and engage that one place for the return journey. The spectators would hear her and she knew that Bourne would not risk the humiliation of a scene in public by trying to prevent her departure. She glanced up at the empty sky. It was twenty minutes to two and still there was no sign of the plane. She thought it odd that not a soul, except herself, had arrived at the landing field. She crossed over to the grave-house again, where she could get a view of the village below. Groups of men were standing about on the banks of the river. The surface of the frozen stream was rough, save for a long stretch directly in front of the Hudson's Bay dock, where some vagary of the wind had solidly packed the snow and then swept it smooth. On this level spot a lone man stood. He looked like Bourne, but she could net be sure. He was motioning to someone. At the same time three men with odd black rolls under their arms ran down the bank and went toward him. As she watched them, faintly puzzled by their actions, she heard a dim, high droning. The distant roar of an airplane! Her heart leaped as she raised her eyes to scan the heavens. There it came out of the clear northeast—a tiny monoplane grow ing larger each moment. She followed every move of the pilot as he made one circle a thousand feet up and began to drop in a series of tight spirals. Then, to her bewilderment, he leveled off directly over the river and headed northward into the chill wind that was sweeping downstream. She lowered her gaze to find that the three men on the river had just finished unrolling what must have been lengths of cloth, and on ‘he smooth stretch of ice lay a huge black T—a signa! to the pilot! The truth rushed upon her. With a sob, she started to run downhill. The flyer was still maneuvering for a landing and there was a slight chance that she might yet reach the spot before he set his ship down in the spot Bourne had indicated.
