Hazel. forgetting the danger, allows sparks from the chimney to set fire to the stable, which Is consumed, with all the ■tored hay. 'T O keep the animals from death by starvation Bill Is compelled to shoot them.

CHAPTER XII. Jack Erost Withdraws. All through the mouth of January each evening, as dusk folded its somber mantle about‘the meadow, the [wolves gathered to feast on the dead horses, till Hazel’s nerves were (strained to the snapping point. Some[tlmes, when Bill was gone, and all (about the cabin was utterly still, one, ’bolder or hungrier than his fellows, (would trot across the meadow, drawn by the scent of the meat. Two or three of these Hazel shot with her Own rifle. But when February marked another iepan on the calendar the wolves came no more. The bones were clean. There was no Impending misfortune tor danger that she could point to or forecast with certitude. Nevertheless, ■struggle against it as she might, knowing it for pure psychological phenomena arising out of her harsh environment, Hazel suffered continual vague forebodings. The bald, white peaks seemed to surround her like a prison from which there could be no release.

■From day to day she was harassed by dismal thoughts. She would wake in the night clutching at her husband. Such days as he went out alone she passed In restless anxiety. * Something would happen. What it would be she did not know, but to her it seemed that the bleak stage was set for untoward drama, and they two the puppets that must play. When Bill drew her up close in his arms, the Intangible menace of the wilderness and all the dreary monotony of the days faded into the background. But they, no more than others who have tried and failed for lack of understanding, could not live their lives with their heads in an emotional cloud. For every action there must be a corresponding reaction. They who have the capacity to reach the heights must likewise, upon occasion, plumb the depths.- Life, she began to realize, resolved itself into an unending succession of little, trivial things, Svith here and there some great event (looming out above all the rest for its [bestowal of happiness or pain.

February and March stormed a pat?, furiously across the calendar. Higher and higher the drifts piled about the cabin, till at length it was banked to the eaves with snow save where Bill shoveled it away to let light to the windows. Day after day they kept Indoors, stoking up the tire, listening to the triumphant whoop of the winds. “Snow, snow I" Hase! borst oat one day. “Front that cuts you like a knife. I wish we were home again—or aotne place.” “So do L Uttle person,” Bill Mid gently. “But spring's almost at the door. Hang on a little longer. We’ve made a fair stake, anyway, If we don’t wash an ounce of gold.” “How aro we going to get It all out?" She voiced a troublesome thought “Shoulder pack to the Skeens,” he answered laconically. “Build a dugout there, and float downstream. Portage the rapids as they come.” “Oh, Bill 1" She came and leaned her head against him contritely. “Oar poor ponies! And It was all my carelessness.” “Never mind, hon,” he comforted. “They blinked out without suffering. And we’ll make It like a charm. Be game—lt’ll soon be spring.” By April the twentieth the abdication of Jack Frost was complete. A kindlier despot ruled the land, and Bill Wagstaff began to talk of gold.

. . . that precious yellow metal sought by men In regions desolate. Pursued in patient hope or furious toll: Breeder of discord, wars, and murderous hate; The victor’s spoil. So Hazel quoted, leaning over her husband's shoulder. In the bottom of hls pan, shining among a film of black

In the Bottom of Vie Pan Lay Half a Dozen Bright Specks.

sand, lay half a dozen bright specks, varying from pln-polnt size to the bigness of a grain of wheat. “That’s the stuff,” Bill murmured "It looks as if we’d struck It pretty fair. It’s time, too—the June rise will hit us Uke a whirlwind one of theee ’days.” “About what is the value of those little pieces?” Hazel asked. “Oh, fifty or sixty cents," he answered. "Not much by Itself. But it seems to be uniform over the bar — and I can wash a good many pans in a day’s work.” "I should think so,* she remarked. “It didn’t take you ten minutes to do that one.” “Whitey Lewis and I took out over two hundred dollars a day on that other creek last spring—no, a year last spring, it was," he observed reminiscently. “This isn’t as good, but it’s not to be sneezed at, either. I think I’ll make me a rocker.* “I can help, can’t IT' she said eagerly. “Sure.” he smiled. “You help n lot. little person, just sitting around and keeping me company.” “But I want to work,” she declared. “I’ve sat around now till I’m getting the fidgets.” “All right; I’ll give you a job,” he returned good-naturedly. “Meantime, let’s eat that lunch you packed up here.” In a branch of the creek which flowed down through the basin, Bill had found plentiful colors as soon as the first big run-off of water had fallen. He had followed upstream painstakingly, panning colors always, and now and then a few grains of coarse gold to encourage him in the quest. The loss of their horses precluded ranging far afield to that other glacial stream which he had worked with Whitey Lewis when he was a free lance in the North. He was close to his base of supplies, and he had made wages—with always the prospector’s lure of a rich strike on the next bar.

“In the morning,” said he, when lunch was over, ‘TU bring along the ax and some nails and a shovel, and get busy.” That night they trudged down te the cabin in high spirits. BUI had washed out enough during the afternoon to make a respectable showing on Hazel's outspread handkerchief. And Hazel was in a' gleeful mood over the fact that she had unearthed a big nugget by herself. Beginner’s luck, Bill said teasingly, but that did not diminish her elation. As the days passed there seemed no question of their complete success. Bill fabricated his rocker, a primitive, boxlike device with a blanket screen and transverse slats below. It was faster than the pan, even rude -as it was, and it caught all but the finer particles of gold. A queer twist of luck -put the capsheaf on their undertaking. Hazel ran a splinter of wood into her hand, thus putting a stop to her activities with shovel and pail.. Until the wound

lost its soreness sne was forced to be idle. So she rambled along the creek one afternoon, armed with hook and line on a pliant willow tn search of sport. The trout were hungry, and atrupk fiercely at the bait She soon had plenty for supper and breakfast. Wherefore she abandoned that diversion and took to prying tentatively in the lee of. certain boulders on edge of the creek—prospecting on her own Initiative, as it were. She had no pan, and only one hand to work with, but she knew gold when she MW it—and, after all. It was but an Idle method of killing time. In this search ahe came upon a large, rusty pebble, snuggled on the downstream side of an overhanging rock right at the water’a edge. It attracted her first by its symmetrical form, a perfect oval; then, when she lifted It, by Its astonishing weight. She continued her search for the pink-ish-red stones, carrying the rusty pebble along. Presently she worked her way bacß to where Roaring Bill labored prodigiously. “Look at these pretty stones I found.” she said. “What are they. Bill?" “Those F He looked at her outstretched palm. “Garnets.” “Garnets? They must be valuable then," she observed. “Yes, if you can find any of any size. What’s the other rock?” ho Inquired casually. “You making a collection of specimens?" “That’s just a funny stone I found,” she returned. “It must be iron or something. It’s terribly heavy for Its el ge.” “Eh? Let me see IL" he Mid. She handed it over. He weighed it in his palm, scrutinized it closely, turning it over snd over. Then he took out his knife and scratched the rusty surface vigorously for a few minutes.

“Huh!” he grunted. “Look at your funny stone.” x He held it out for her Inspection. The blade of the knife had left a dull yellow scar. “Oh!” she gasped. ' “Why—it’s gold 1” “It Is, woman," he declaimed, with mock solemnity. “Gold — glittering gold! j “Say, where did you find this?” he asked when Hazel stared at the nugget, dumb in the face of this unexpected stroke of fortune. “Jhst around the second bend,” she cried. “Oh, Bill, do you suppose there’s any more there?” me to it with my trusty pan and shovel, and we’ll see,” Bill smiled. Forthwith they set out. The overhanging boulder w.as a scant ten minutes’ walk up the creek. Within five minutes his fingers brought to light a second lump, double the size of her find. Close upon that be winnowed,a third. Hasel leaned over him, breathless. At last he reached bottom. The boulder thrust out below in a natural shelf. From this Bill carefully scraped the accumulation of black sand and gravel, gleaning as a result of his labor a baker’s dozen of assorted chunks —one giant that must have weighed three pounds. He "sat back on his haunches, and looked at his wife, speechless. “Is that truly all gold. Bill?” she whispered Incredulously. “It certainly is—as good gold as ever went into the mint” he assured. “All laid in a nice little nest en this shelf of rock. That’s a real, honest pocket. And a well-lined one, if you ask me.” “My goodness!” she murmured. •There might be wagonloads of it in this creek.”

“There might, but it isn’t likely.”’ Bill shook his head. “This is a simonpure pocket, and it would keep a graduate mineralogist guessing to say how it got here, because it’s a different proposition from the wash gold in the creek bed. It’s rich placer ground, at that—but this pocket’s almost unbelievable. Must be forty pounds of gold there. And you found it You’re the original mascot, little person.” He bestowed a bearlike hug uppn her. “Now whatY’ she asked. “It hardly seems real to pick up several thousand dollars in half an hour or so like this. What will we do?” “Do? Why, bless your dear soul,” he laughed. "We’ll just consider ourselves extra lucky, and keep right on with the game till the high water makes us quit” Which was a contingency nearer at hand than even Bill, with a first-hand knowledge of the North’s vagaries in the way of flood, quite anticipated. Three days after the* finding of the pocket the whole floor of the creek was awash. His rocker went stream overnight. When Bill saw that he rolled himself a cigarette, and, putting one long arm across his wife’s shoulders, gild whimsically: “What d’you say we start home?” (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Tests made to determine the respective pulling power of horses, men and elephants showed that two horses weighing 1,600 pounds each, together pulled 3,750 pounds, or 550 pounds more than their combined weight. One elephant, weighing 12,000 pounds, pulled 8,750 pounds or 3,250 pounds less than its weight. Fifty men, aggregating 7,500 pounds in weight, pulled 8,750 pounds, or just as much as the single elephant, but like the horses, they pulled more than their own weight. One hundred men pulled 12,000 pounds.

In the English village of Westbere, Kent, bread and cheese and beer are provided free to every person who sleeps in the parish for the three nights previous to the first Saturday before Midsummer day.

RUN THE HOUSEHOLD ON BUDGET SYSTEM

Keep Careful Accounts and Divide Family Income Wisely— Suggestions for Various Salaries. A budget Is absolutely necessary to the wise and woil-proi>ortlon*<l running of a household. No budget can be made to fit *ll families, even families of similar stse, locality, etc., but the wellproportioned budget provide# a fair financial basis, a siartlng point from which to begin the work of wisely dividing the family Income. The main thing Is to the budget started, to keep careful accounts — tn a way that will permit analysation of expenditures —for at least several months; a year, if possible. Many people keep accounts, personal and household, only In a way that balances cash and shows how it has been generally expended. A budget should do better than that.

An exact budget Is difficult to provide at present, with all living prices In a state of flux but with a prevailing upward tendency. Figures differ greatly In various sections of the country, frequently In various sections of the same state. But in strictly industrial centers. It hns been authentically computed, food usually consumes about 43 per cent of the ordinary Income, shelter 18 per cent, fuel and light 0 per cent, and the various “sundries" so grouped because so difficult of more exact classification, 20 per cent. In the following suggestive budgets for varying Incomes the “saving" Item has been placed first as most necessary where the family income Is not too large and is practically Inelastic. This item may include life Insurance, savings bank accounts and such inevitable Income-bearing governmental securities absolutely necessary with the kind of incomes noted —as Liberty Bonds a id War Savings Stamp*.

The exact disposal of certain larger items, such a* rent, fuel, food, must be decided, plan* only changed thereafter when proven impracticable as at first arranged. A full account of personal and household expenditures should be kept for future reference and possible budget readjustments. Fairly, Justly tried, the budget system will lift many a family from a financial Slough of Despond to sunshiny financial heights.
