BEGIN HEBE TODAY Ned Comet, son ot Godfrey Comet, drives his ear too fast in the rain and goes into a skid. Bess Gilbert, a shopgirl. is thrown to the pavement. v> ,u n Godfrey Cornet hears of Ned's latest accident he makes up his mind to offer Ned the opportunity of making a man ot himself. The elder Cornet offers his son two thousand silk and velvet gowns to take to northern Canada and Alaska to exchange with the Indians for fine furs. Godfrey offers to split the profits 75-25. the lion’s share to Ned. Young Cornet is engaged to marry Ben ore Hardenwdrth. She offers to go on the trip with Ned if he will take her mother with them. Ned hires a craft and engages Bess Gilbert to go on it as seams tressfl NOW GO OX WITH THE STORY | y j HAVEN'T had many opporI I [tunities for ocean travel,” she l - ■ 1 told him —and whether or not she was laughing at him, Ned Cornel couldn’t have sworn! Her tone was certainly suspiciously merry. “Mr. Cornet, I’ll be glad enough to accompany your party, any time you say.” CHAPTER V It was a jesting, hilarious crowd that gathered one sunlit morning to watch the departure of the Charon. Rodney Coburn was there, .and Rex Nard, various matrons who were mentors Mrs. Hardenwortn’s bridge 3lub, and an outer and inner ring of atellites around such ocial suns as Ned and Lenore. Every me was very happy, and no one >eemed to take the expedition se--iously. The idea of Ned Cornet, he of the curly brown hair, in the role i 't fur trader In the frozen wastes of the North, appealed to his friends as being lrresitibly comic.

A HILARIOUS CROWD GATH BRED TO WATCH THE CHARON’S DEPARTURE. Both Lenore and her mother seemed in a wonderful mood. The ninety-day journey on those far-stretching sunli' waters seemed to promise only happiness for them. They had dressed according to their idea of the occasion. Lenore wore a beautifully tailored middy suit that was highly appropriate for summer seas, but was nothing like the garb that Eskimo women wear in the fall journeys in the Oomiacs. Mrs. dardenworth had a smart tailored suit of small black and white check, a small hat and a beautiful gray veil. Both of them carried winter coats, and both were fitted out with binoculars, cameras and such-like oceanic paraphernalia. Knutsen, of course, supposed that their really heavy clothes, great mackinaws and slickers with leather-lined woolens, such as are sometimes needed on Bering Sea. were in the trunks he had helped to stow below. In this regard the blonde seaman. helmsman and owner of the craft, had made a slight mistake. In a desire for a wealth of silver fox to wear home, both trunks had been filled with discarded gowns to the exclusion of almost everything else. Ned, in a smart yachting costume, had done rather better by himself. He had talked with Coburn in regard to

Vigorous Old CLg&

WHY separate youth, and old age with a deep and ever* widening abyss? The bloom of youth and the hardy, ruddy glow of Old Age—sixteen and sixty—should be separated only by the span of years and not by varying differences of physical wholesomeness. * Vigorous old age is within the grasp of all. S. S. brings that hale and hearty feeling back with a rush. Rich red blood is the greatest enemy of weakening, health undermining Old Age. S. S. S. builds Red Blood Cells. Rich, red blood coursing through your veins sweeps away Impurities that retard the proper functioning of your system. Old Age— once a dreaded agony becomes a vigorous, enjoyable, care free time of life. S. 8. S. is made of carefully selected herbs and irarks —scientifically prepared and proportioned. Welcome Old Age when it comes. Be ready to withstand the attacks of diseases that follow In its wake. Meet Old Age with a hearty handshake. A handshake that speaks of well being—of a vigorous, clear thinking, red blooded constitution. S. S. S. is your best friend when Old Age is seen rounding the corner. Get a bottle and driva care and worry away. All leading drug stores carry It. The large size is the more |WE| economical. C You Feci PSir JU. J. 4ike Yourself Agtin

the outfit, and his duffle bag contained most of the essentials for such a journey. And Bess’ big, plain bag was packed full of the warmest clothes she possessed. Bess did not stand among, the happy circle of Ned’s friends. Her mother and sister had come down to the dock to bid her good-by, and they seemed 'to be having a very happy little time amongst themselves. The captain was almostt ready to start the launch. McNab, the chief engineer, was testing his engines; Forest, his assistant, stood on the deck; and the negro cook stood grinning at the window of the galley. But presently there was an abrupt cessation of the babble of voices in the group surrounding Ned. A tall man was pushing through the crowd, politely asking right of way, his black eyes peering under silver brows. For some inexplicable reason the sound of frolic died before his penetrating gaze. But the groups caught themselves at once. They must not show fear of this stalwart, aged man with his prophet’s eyes. They spoke to him, wishing him good day, and he returned their bows with faultless courtesy. An instant later he stood before his son. “Mother couldn’t get down,” Godfrey Cornet said simply. “She sent her love and good wishes. A good trip, Ned—but not too good a trip.” "Why not — too good atrip?” "A little snow, a little cold—maybe a charging Kodiac bear—fine medicine for the spirit, Ned. Good luck!” He gave £is hand, then turned to extend good wishes to Mrs. Hardenworth and Lenore. He seemed to have a queer, hesitant manner when he addressed the latter, as if he had planned to give some further, more personal message, but now was reconsidering it. Then the little group I about him suddenly saw his face j grow vivid. "Where’s Miss Gilbert—?” The group looked from one to an- | other. As always, they were paying the keenest attention to his every word; but they could not remember hearing this name before. “Miss Gilbert?” his son echoed blankly. “Oh, you mean the seamstress—” “Os course—the other member of your party.” “She’s right there, talking to her mother.” Cornet walked courteously to the girl's side and extended his hand. “Good luck to you, and a pleasant journey,” he said, smiling down on her. "And, Miss Gilbert, I wonder if I could give you a charge—” “I’ll do my best —anything you ask —” ■ I want you to look after my son. Ned. He's never been away from the comforts of civilization before—and if a button came off, he’d never know how to put it on. Don't let him come to grief, Miss Gilbert. I’m wholly serious—l know what th North is. Don’t let him take too great a risk. Watch out for his health. There's nothing in this world like a woman's care.” “I’ll remember all you told me,” Bess told him simply. “Thank you—and a pleasant voyage” Even now the adventurers were getting aboard. Mrs. Hardenworth was handing her bag to Knutsen—she had mistaken him for a cabin boy—with instructions to caxry it carefully and put it in her stateroom; Lenore was bidding a joyous fareweill to some of her more intimate friends. The engine roared, the water churned beneath the propelleer, the pilot called some order in a strident voice. The boat moved easily from the dock. VI Mrs.* Hardenworth had made it a point to go immediately to her stateroom, but dt once she reappeared on neck. She seemed a trifle more erect, her gray eyes singularly wide open. “Ned. dear, I wonder if that fellow made a mistake when he pointed out my stateroom.” she began rather stiffly. “I want to be sure I've got the right one that you meant for me—” “It’s the one to the right.” Ned answered, somewhat unhappily. He followed her along the deck, indicating the room she and her daughter were to occupy. “Did you think he was slipping something over on you. taking a better one himself?” “I didn’t know. You can’t ever tell about such men. Ned; you know that very well. Os coyrse, if it is the one you intended for me, I’m only too delighted with it—” “It’s really the best on the ship. It’s not a big craft, you know; space is limited. I’m sorry it’s so small and dark, and I suppose you’ve already missed the running water. I do iTope It won’t be too uncomfortable. Os course, you can have the one on the other side, but It's really Inferior to this—” “That’s the only other one? Ned, I want you to have the best one—” “I'm*sorry to say I’m not going to have any. Miss Gilbert has to have the other. Rut there’s a corking berth In the pilot house I’m going to occupy.” “I’d never let Miss Gilbert have It!” The -woman’s eyes flashed. "I wouldn’t hear of It —you putting yourself out for your servant. Why can’t she occupy the berth in the pilot house—” “I don’t mind at all. Really I don’t. ”'he girl couldn’t be expected to sleep where there are men on watch all night.” At once she returned to her room; but the little scene was not without results. In the first place It implanted r feeling of injury In Ned, whose habits of mind made him singularly open to suggestion, and In the second It left Mrs. Hardenworth with a distinct prejudice againat Bess. She was in a decided ill-humor until tea time, when she again joined Ned and Lenore on the deck. None of the three could resist a growing elation, a holiday mood such as had lately come but rarely and which was wholly worth celebrating. “It’s a rare day,” Ned announced solemnly. “And heavens! We haven’t christened the ship!” Lenore added drollly. "Children, children! Not yet a day cut! But you mustn’t overdo It, either of you'” Mrs. Hardenworth shook her finger to caution them.

"Now, Ned, have the colored man bring three glasses and water. I’d prefer ginger aie with mine if you don’t mind—l'm dreadfully old sash ioned In that regard.” Bess made the very sensible resolve to avoid Ned’s society ana that of his two gdests just as much as possible. She saw at once they were not her kind of people; and only un pleasantness would resullt from her intercourse with them. And her decision to avoid the three aristocrats stood her in good stead before the night was done, saving her as bitter a moment as any that had oppressed her in all the steep path of her llife. Just after the din ner call had sounded, Lenore, Ned and Mrs. Hardenworth had had a momentous conference in the little dining saloon. "I see the table’s set for four.” Mrs Hardenworth began. "Who’s the other place for—Captain Knutsen?” “I'm afraid the captain has to mind his wheel. This isn’t an oceanic lfner. I suppose the place is set for Miss Gilbert.” "Miss Gilbert seems to fill the horizon. May I ask how many more there are in the crew?” “Just McNab, Forest, and the cook. Both white men take turns at the wheel in open water.” (Continued in Our Next Issue) Father and Son Separated Hubert O. Coffman, asked the police to find his father, F. O. Coffman, of Kentucky.

The State board of agriculture, while realizing that agriculture is the major pursuit and sustenance of our State, ■ has now found a place for fine art | and applied an, babies and horseshoe j pitchers in its list of premiums. Awards of $3,830, $582 and S4OO are listed respectively for these entries. $450,000 FROM GAjT TAX Nearly $450,000 was realized by the State from the gasoline tax during July, according to a report by Charles C. Benjamin, head of the collection division. Although officials had estimated the receipts would exceed $400,000 for the rrrnth, the amount of the excess was surprising. During August the State collected $-t39,338.03 for July sales and $1,630.24 in fees delinquent from June.
