BEGIN HERE TODAY Ned Cornet ?oes on a voyage to northern Canada and Alaska lor his father, Godfrey Cornet. He is to exchange two thousand silk and velvet gowns with the Indians for fine furs The profits are to be split 75-25. the lion's share to Ned. Seven persons go . on the ship with Ned. His financee, Lenore Hardenworth. and her mother: Bess Gilbert, a seamstress: Captain Knutzcn. assisted by McNab and Forest and one cook. Mrs. Hardenwcrth objects to eating at the same table with the seamstress. Bess resolves to avoid the three aristocrat. Ned is polite to Bess when occasionally they meet, but Lenore and her mother ignore the girl. As the voyage continues and the weather grows colder much discomfort is felt by Mrs. Hardenworth and Lenore who have come unsuitably clothed for a sea voyage. NOW GO ON WITH THE &TORY SHE name of the craft was the Charon! The thought chilled him and dismayed him. For all his boasted realism, Ned Oornet had never got away from stye rstition. Man is still not far distant from the Cave and Squatting Place, and superstition is a spector from out dead centuries that haunts all his days. The coincidence that their craft, plying through these deathly waters, should bear such a name as the Charon suddenly suggested a dark possibility to Ned. All at once this man, heretofore to sure, so self-suf-ficient, so incredulous of anything except his own Continued glory and happiness and life, was face to face with the first sea sjmple, primitive fear of death. Was that his fate at the journey’s end? Not mere trial, mere hardship and stress and adventure, but uncompromising death! Was he experi•sncing a premonition? Was that training camp soon to be a reality, a* terribly real as these cold seas and this sky of stars, instead of a mere figment of an old man’s childish fancy?

"DO TOC KNOW WHERE WE’RE IETTING?” HE ASKED. The thought troubled and haunted him, but it proved to be the best possible influence for the man himself. For the first time in his life Ned Cornet was awake. He had been dreaming before; for the first time he had awakened to life. Fear, disaster, the dreadful omnipotence of fate were no longer empty words to him; they were stern and immutable realties. He knew what the wolf knows, when he howls to the winter moon from the snow-swept ridge: that he was a child in the hands of Powers so vast and awful that the ■ubliinest human thought could not even reach to them! He could see, dimly as yet but unmistakably, the shadow of that travail that haunts men’s days from the beginning to the end. His father’s blood, and in some degree his father’s wisdom, was beginning to manifest itself in him. It was only a whispered voice as yet, wholly to be disregarded in the face of too great temptation, yet nevertheless it was the finest and most hopeful thing in his life. And it came particularly clear one still, mysterious night, shortly after the dinner hour, as he faced the North from the the Charon. The schooner’s auxiliary engines ‘had pumped her through Unimak Pass by now, the passage^between Unimak and Akun Islands, an noW she had launched iforth into that wide, western portal of the Arctic — Bering Sea. Still the wonderful succession of bright days had endured. no less than marvelous, along

the mist-swept southern shore of the peninsula, but now the brisk, salty wind from the northwest indicated an impending weather change. It had been a remarkably clear and windless day, and the hight had come down, so swiftly and so soon, was of strange and stirring beauty. The stars had an incredible luster: the sea Itself was of an unnamed purple, marvelously deep—such a color as scientists might find lying beyond the spectrum. And Ned's eyes, tonight, were not dulled by the effects of strong drink. For some reasop that he himself could not satisfactorily explain Ned hadn’t partaken of his usual afternoon whiskies-and-sodas. He simply wasn’t in a drinking mood, steadfastly refusing to partake. Lenore, though she had never made it a point to encourage Ned's drinking habits, could not help but regard the refusal as in some way a ilight to herself, and was correspondingly downcast and irritable. Wholly out of sorts, she had let him go to the deck alone. Facing over the bow he suddenly perceived a faint silver radiance close to the horizon. His first impression was that the boat had taken a southeasternly course, and this argent gleam was merely the fanner of the rising moon. Immediately he knew better: except by the absolute disruption of cosmic law, the moon could not rise for at least four hours. He knew of no coast light anywhere in the region, and it was hard to believe that he had caught the far-off glimmer of a ship's light. Seemingly such followers of the sea had been left far behind them. But as he watched, the light grew. His own pulse quickened. And presently a radiant streamer burst straight upward like a rocket, fluttered a moment and died away. A strange thrill and stir moved through the intricacy of his nerves. He knew now what this light poreended: it was known to very wayfarer in the North, yet the keenest excitement look hold of him. "The Northern Lights!” he told himself. A quiver of exultation passed over him. A few feet distant on the deck Bess’s eyes turned from the miracle in the skies to watch the slowly growing light in Ned'Cornet's face. It was well enough for him to find his insipration in the majesty of nature. Bess was a woman, and that meant that man that is bora of woman was her work and her being. She turned her eyes from God to behold this man.

VIII Before ever that long night was done, clouds had overswept the Bky and a cold rain was beating the sea. The drizzle changed to snow ■ lay white on the deck and hissed' softly in the wat-er. Once more the craft plied among islands; but now that they had passed into Bering Sea, the character of the land had changed: These were not the dull green, wooded isles met with on first entering Alaskan waters. Wild and inhospitable though the latter had seemed, they were fairy bowers compared to these. Nor did the mossy continue to show a marveljus beryl green through mist. The truth was that these islands were far-scattered fragments of the Barrens, those great wastes of moss and tundra between the timber belt and the eternal ice cap of the pole. Lately the ship had taken, a northern turn, following the island chain, and/the cloudy, windy, rainy days found them not far from the mainland, in a region that would be wholly icebound in a few weeks more. And when they were still a full day from their turning point, Knutsen bought out Ned on the deck. "Mr. Cornet, do you not know where we re, getting?” he asked quietly. Unconsciously startled by his tone, Ned whirled toward him. “I don’t know these waters,” he replied. "I suppose we’re approaching Muchinoff Island.” "Quite a sail between here and der, yet. Mr. Comet, we’re getting into de most unknown and untraveled waters in all dig part of the North. De boats to Nome go way outside here, and de trut’ is I’m way out of my old haunts, I'm traveling by chart only; neither me nor McNab, nor very many oder people know very much the waterways between dese islands. You’re up here to trade for furs, and you haven't got all winter. You know dat dese waters here, shut off from the currents, are going to be tighter dan a drum before very many wfeeks. Why don’t you make your destination Tzar Island, and start back from dere?” “You think it’s really dangerous?” “Not really dangerous, maybe, but mighty awkward if anyt’ing should go wrong wit’ de old brig. You understan’ dat not one out of four of dese little islands is inhabited. Some of de larger islands have only a scattered village or two; some of ’em haven’t a living human being. Der's plenty and plenty of islands not even named in dis chart, and I’d hate to hit the reefs of one after dark! Der's no one to send SOS calls to, in case of trouble, even if we had wireless. De only boat I know dat works carefully through dis country is anot’er trader, the Intrepid—and dat won’t he along till spring. Mr. Cornet, it’s best for you to know dat you’re In one of the most uninhabited and barren countries —” “And the most dreary and generally damnabje,” Ned agreed with enthusiasm. “Why didn’t you tell me this before? Muchinoff Island Isn’t anything in my young life. I picked it out as a starting point simply because it was the farthest north of the Skopins, but since there seeijis to be plenty of territory—” “It will make you hump som4 ■to cover all th§_ good territory now, including some of the best of de Aleuts, and get around Alaskan Peninsula before winter sets in. in earnest. Tzar Island is just to our northeast. Shall I head towards it?” "How long will it take—” “Depends on the wind. This is a ticklish stretch of water in here, shallow in spots, but safe enough, I guess. I think we can skim along and ir*ake it long before dawn.’’ “Then do it!” Ned's face suddenly brightened. *Tba ooaucaf £ ©so

shake my legs on shore, the better I'll like it.” The seaman left him, and for a moment Ned stood almost drunk with exultation on the deck. Even now they were nearing the journey's end. Presently he turned, made his way into the hold and opened one of a pile of iron-bound wooden cases. When he returned to the dining saloon he carried a dark bottle in each hand. IX Ned’s news was received with the keenest delight by Lenore and Mrs. Hardenworth. The latter regained her lost amiability with promptness. Le-. nore’s reaction was not dissimilar from Ned’s; in her native city she could come into her own again. (Continued in Our Next Issue) BISHOP H. H.

Nuxated Iron Will Increase

Strength of Delicate People In Two Weeks Time

In many instances says City Physician persons have suffered for years without knowing what made them feel tired, llstr less aud rundown when their real trouble was lack of iron in the blood—how to tell. IF you were to make an actual blood test on all people who are ill you would probably be greatly astonished at the exceedingly large number who lack iron and who are ill for no other reason than the lack of iron. The moment iron is supplied a multitude of dangerous symptoms disappear. Without iron the blood at once loses the power to change food into living tissue and therefore nothing you eat does you good; you don't get the strength out of it. Your food merely passes through your system like corn through a mill with the rollers so wide apart that the mill can’t grind. Asa result of this continuous blood and nerve starvation, people become generally weakened nervous and all run down and frequently develop all sorts of conditions. One is too thin: another is burdened with unhealthy fat; so weak they can hardly walk: some think they have dyspepsia, kidney or liver trouble some can’t sleep at night, others are sleepy and tired all day; some fussy and irritable; some skinny and bloodless, but all lack physical power and endurance In such cases, it is worse than foolishness to take stimulating medicines or narcotic drugs, which only whip iup your fagging vital powers for the moment, maybe at the expense ei your life later on. No matter what any one tolls you. if

you arc not strong and well you owe it to yourself to make the following test; See how long you can work or bow far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you Bftve gained. You can talk as you pleaeo about all the wonders wrought by new remedies, but when you come down to hard facts there Is nothing like good old iron to put color In your cheeks and good sound, healthy flesh on your bones. It Is also a great nerve and stomach strengthener and one of the best blood builders In the world. The only trouble was that the old forma of inorganio Iron like tincture of Iron. Iron acetate, etc,, often ruined people's teeth, upset their stomachs and were not assimilated and for these reasons they frequently did more harm than good. But with the discovery of the newer forms of organic iron all this has been overcome. Nuxated Iron, for example, is pleasant to take, does not injure the teeth and is almost immediately beneficial. Manufacturers’ Note: Nuxated Iron which is recommended above is not a secret remedy but one which is well known to druggists everywhere Unlike tho older inorganic Iron products it is easily assimilated, and does not injure Seeth. make them black, nor upset the stomach. The manufacturers guarantee successful and entirely satisfactory results to every purchaser or they will refund your money. It is dispensed in this city fay aU good druggists-—Advertisement.
