Williams, director, State highway commission. A situation at Marion, says Williams, is typical of what contractors are up against. Stone was spread over a considerable section of State Road No. 27, but rain for days prevented application of a tar surface. Eight tank cars on siding cost the contractor $5 a, day demurrage, and this expense goes on with small relief in sight.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Pclpr Newhall, Augusta. Ga.. flaps to Alaska, after being- told by Ivan Dhmin. Kussinii violinist, he had drowned Paul Farichef, Ishmin s secretary. Ishmin and Peter s wife, Dorothy, had urged him to flee to South America. He joins Big Chris I.arson in response to a distress signal at sea. giving Larson his sea aeket. Their launch hits rooks. I.arson's body is buried as Newhall s Peter, rescued, finds injuries have completely changed his appearance. Dorothy and Ishmin go to Alaska to return Peter's body. Thov do not recognize Peter, who is chosen head guide. A storm strands them at the grave. Peter Is tempted to murder ishmin when he sees the latter kiss Dorothy, but next day rescues him from a charging bear whose cub Ish- , min wounded. Their ship does not return. Peter lays plans for heir escape before winter sets in. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY (< f r I GO mean it. You’ve kept I I your place so far and I I -1 know you’U continue to keep it. You can watch out for the breeds as well as I can. We’ll call it decided—only, if you .don’t mind. Dorothy, we'll wait one more day to see if the- ship comes in.” Thus it was arranged, and now, as the night lowered, Ivan and Dorothy sat by the fireside at the door of her tent. Tonight Ivan urged Immediate marriage. When- Dorothy asked him how, exiled as they were from civilization, immediate marriage could be brought about, he had a ready answer. “Can marriages occur only in civilization?” he asked. “It’s especially simple here—you know that Nick Pavloft is empowered to marry people. As you must have heard, he has some sort of right from the Greek Church—hereditary, I guess—and it holds good through all this end of Alaska. A license is not required when there is no way to get it —it’s just a legßl record, at best—and if you wish, that could be handled when we get to Seward. Marry me tonight, Dorothy—then together we’ll go away—to Russia, to the South Seas, anywhere.” His face was stark white; his eyes glowed like the coals of dying fire. Her lips trembled piteously as she sought his hand in tl}e dusk. "Don't [talk about it tonight,” she urged, almost pleading. “I'm so troubled—the future is so uncertain—”

He looked straight into her eyes, tion of great power—that had kept

as if he would hypnotize her. “You’re troubled only because you haven’t as yet made up your mind to accept me —a decision you are sure to make in the end,” he told her slowly, with deep emphasis. “You won’t quit being troubled until you do it —because you love mo in your heart. For this same reason your future seems so dark and uncertain. Dorothy, marry me tonight, and put your destiny in m, 1.. ~1. - “H E SAY —’C II AN G E THE NAME’.” ”1 don’t wgint to think about it any more tonight,” she told him earnestly. “Ivan, I wish you would pjay. Sometimes music is like a light, helping me to straighten everything out—” He took the violin in his slim hands. He hesitated, then began softly the immortal “Elegie” by Massenet. This song of tears, deathlessly sweet, brought her very nearly to the answer of her problem. She did not actually come to a conclusion in regard to Ivan’s suit, but she believed she found the reason why she had not, yielded to him long since, and thus the source of all her uncertainty, her haunting doubts and fears. This was a song of the dead, and through the magic of its genius she \\as able, vaguely, to pierce the veil of death. It was, indeed, a loyalty to Peter —mistaken, perhaps, but yet an emo-

her from Ivan's arms so long. Partly this loyalty was an echo of her remembered love for him, partly It was born of her remorse for failure in duty toward him. And now that she stood at Peter's grave, the situation had reached its crisis. ‘ Tell me something, Ivan?" The girl spoke quietly, her low, doe)), beautiful voice tremulous with wonder, and the soft, starlike luster of tears in her eyes. "Ivan, do you believe in ghosts?” "Os course,” ho said. "Who loesn't? No one can believe in immortality and not, strictly speaking, believe in ghosts. The whole world knows of them —not just believes in them." "A great truth has just come to me." The girl was exalted. "I’ve known it all the time, but I just wasn't aware of it. Maybe that isn't plain. I mean that I've sensed it, subconsciously—all the time I’ve been here—in some back part of myself; and I can't imagine why I’ve taken so long for my conscious self to be aware of It. The music sent it home to me, just now.” "It often takes music, or some other stimulus to the emotions, to send home the truth. What is it ” he asked gently. "Peter is watching over me. I feel his presence just as surely as if he were in the flesh." CHAPTER XII The Seance They were both silent as they thought of the immensity of this; the convoy by the dead. Ivan, always something of a mystic, caught fire at once and leaned toward her in deepest interest. “Peter's spirit has held me up, all the way through,” she told him in a soft monotone that did not in the least conceal her emotion. "It kept me from being afraid, all these days—and has comforted me when the wind blew— and during those long hours that I watched for the Warrior to return.” “It’s not very flattering to me—that the ghost of a dead man could be more assurance to you than I.” "You’ve been a wonderful help, too.” She paused, and her face was stark white in the dusk. "Ivan, do you think we could get a message through to him?” "I don’t .know.” Ivan spoke very softly.* “The dead have been called back. What do you want to tell him?” "I don't want to tell him anything —I feel that he knows my every thought. But I want him to tell me something. I want to know that he has forgiven me for any failure in duty toward him—and I want his advice, how to go on.” Ivan was fully receptive to her

mood, and he sat a moment with bowed head. “We can try. Dorothy,” he said at last. “We can hold a seance—surely every advantage is in our favor. Fortune Joe is a medicine man. and Bradford described what lie called the spirit rite. He might bring a word through. Who knows?” "Get all five of us. in a circle —?" “The bigger the circle the better. Shall I summon the three men?” But they chose to walk together to the guides' quarters, finding the men smoking in comfort before their low fire. “Joe, isn't it true you are a medium?” Ivan began addressing the witch doctor. "That you can get word through to the dead? Mr. Bradford told us you had that reputation —” "Yes. Me talk with dead," Joe answered simply. “Then tonight Mrs. Newhall wants you to try to talk with the man who lies burled here.” He pointed to the cross, wan and ghostly itself in the pale light, on the beach but a short distance below the camp, “He was Mrs. Nawhall's husband, as you know —and she wants to get a message from him. Will you be willing to try a seance?”' “Don’t know seance. Sometime call —no answer. Maybe get answer tonight.” “You’ll come too. Paviof —and Pete. We’re going to make a little circle.” To Pete, it was the crowning touch of the whole, fantastic tragic-comic adventure. Yet there was a solemn air to the little meeting that was held straightway on the grassy land just above the grave. The medium sat between Dorothy and Ivan; Pete was on the other side of Dorothy and Paviof next to him. Touching hands lightly, they sat intent. Fortune Joe had (gone into what seemed a halt-trance; his head tvas bowed, hjs face white as if with unutterable agony. They heard him moan softly, in the utter silence. “What you want?” he mumbled at last. “Me all tangled—spirit keeps floating up there, keeps coming back here. Who you want Joe to call?” “My husband!” Dorothy answered quickly. “The man who lies here dead —under this cross!” There was a brief spell of silence, then the native moaned again. There ensued a second of struggle In which liquid fire seemed to leap through the chain of their hands. Then Joe’s trance seemed to deepen. “Dead man—he here,” he said slowly. “Man—died in the water — lay under cross. What you want?"

“Ask him if he forgives everything,” the girl whispered. Tears softened her voice. “Ask him if I am to go ahead—and do what Ivan wants me to do.” The medicine man's blanched face and subdued struggles seemed to indicate tremendous difficulty in getting the -questions through, and hearing their answer. His face worked. “You make fun of me," he moaned softly. “You laugh at me—” Dorothy cast one indignant glance about the circle, saw that every face was intent and sober, then pressed tight the native's hand. “Oh. no! We're not laughing. Get what message you can for me then —” She waited in ineffable anxiety for this word from beyond the grave. "The man—he here,” the native muttered, half-intelligibly. "He drown—cut up by rocks. He say—‘change the name.’ ”

This was something concrete, and the girl trembled in the brooding mystery of the moment. “Is that all—to ohange my name?” “ 'Change name!’ Me no get no more. Everything else all clouded." Yet was it not enough? Dorothy did not doubt but that she had her answer. To change the name—and surely that meant nothing more or less than to yield Her destiny to Ivan. The man who lay dead was willing that she should, by the fact of marriage, disclaim his own proud ' name and take the name of another. They waited a while more for further word from the other side ;but| the medicine man seemed only con-* fused and faltering. "Can you talk to Paul Sarichef?” she asked. “Maybe you can get in touch with him. I want to know that everything is forgiven—over there. That all debts are paid.” (Continued in Our Next Issue)
