Now go on with the story. CHAPTER III Jim rose and followed the man out of the building. Hiram Morris here! In Alaska! Tt was incredible. More incredible still was it to recognize in this bent figure of discouragement the onse mighty man of Michigan, the colossus of Jim's youth.

He halt- ed again before a restaurant inside the show window of which were dis- played raw steaks and chops and cold-storage chickens upon a bed of cracked ice. Jim recognized the expression in that thin, eager face and he experi- enced a shock. Good God! the man was hungry! Hungry in Alaska! No body had ever gone hungry on the Yukon. What kind of a camp was this? Famished Trail Dog Holding his voice to a casual tone, he said: "Excuse me, but I'm looking _ for a clean cafe. Can you tell me where the gamblers eat?" "Right here, I believe. It is the most expensive place in town." The speaker's gaze remained fixed upon the window. "I'm a stranger here and I don't know a soul. Won't you join me?" Mr. Morris looked up now, swiftly: ida it CANADA-1938;2 IMPERIAL TOBACCO'S INSPIRING PROGRAM EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT On a National Coast to Coast Network TIRED or NERVOUS? Is bile doing its work?

I thank you, but----" "Come on. You'll be doing me a favor." Jim held the door open and waited for the ragged figure to pre- cede him, then he selected a table in one of the booths and ordered a meal for two which caused his guest to say: "My dear sir, you can't be familiar with Nome prices. A T-bone steak is seven dollars--and those fresh veg- etables! Why, you've ordered a mil- lionaire's banquet." "Well, it is a sort of banquet with me. It celebrates an occasion." "Indeed?" "I met an old friend to-night; a man from my home town. Mr. Morris was ready and willing to talk about Nome. He had failed greatly and he was at a garrulous age, but about himself he had little to say and it was some time before Jim managed to discover that he had been here for two years, mining, but without success. That Old Friend . "You know how it is," he explain- ed with a tremulous smile; "it takes time to «develop a placer property when you have no capital. But I have a splendid claim and one of these days I'll land in the pay." The two men chatted on until their food was served, and, inasmuch as the host had not seen fit to intro- duce himself, the guest did not make himself known. It was not until the F, SEE FES ERS acer naa eaten Tavenously, to his complete satisfaction, and had light- ed an expensive cigar of Jim's selec- tion, that the younger man said: "Perhaps you'd like to hear about that old friend I met.

Mr. Morris peered curiously at the speaker. "I don't know what possessed me, but I threw a ball at him. It was ice. It hit him, hurt him like the- devil. I'd have been fired from school only for him. He----" "Where was this?" "It was in Dover. the principal and - "Why, this is extraordinary! Then your name is--Rowan. You're Jim And you recognized me, after all these years!" Mr. Mor- ris was deeply moved. "I couldn't fail to recognize that scar on your cheek, sir, inasmuch as I put it there." "My dear boy!' The old man took Jim's hand in both of his. "How strange that we should meet like this! And how you fooled me! You had your little joke, didn't you?" "Merely because I wasn't sure you'd accept my invitation to dine if you knew who I was." Mr. Morris confessed reluctantly: "I--I'm not sure that I would have accepted, Jim. You see, times have changed; things haven't gone well with me and it hurts a nian's pride to acknowledge failure to his friends. I have some pride left. That's why I'm not going back until I land in the pay. Now that you know everything, I'm going to make a confession: I was--actually hungry. when you in- vited me in!" "Hell of a camp, to lez a man go hungry!" Rowan exclaimed, harshly. RUN-DOWN? IT'S YOUR NERVES £t is usually when your nervous balance is upset that you feel low in health and spirits.

I could have made more if I hadn't lived up to that promise, but--" "Never mind. Crooked money isn't worth having and money of any sort isn't worth too high a price. This is a cruel country and it's hard to get ahead. But you're young and you've taken good care of yourself." Mr. Morris's failing eyes did not see that Jim's flesh was flabby and that the bleach in his cheeks came from lack of sunlight. "That's your early training. I've no sympathy for these wasters who squander their money rver bars and gambling tables."

How You'll Keep Girls On Farm Young Women Must Learn To Be Economically Self-Supporting In The Country Basically Canada depends for em- ployment on its natural resources and work for young women cannot be read- ily found in the type of work afford- ed, said Mrs. Mary McCallum Suther- land at Vancouver last week, who has returned home to B.C. after serving on the National Employment Commis- sion which has made recommenda- tions to the Government, Country girls left their homes to seek work in stores, offices, schools and so on. It was "fine for the girls" but it "depleted country life." The last census showed there were three men to cvery woman in the country in the age group 20 to 24, Mrs. Suth- erland pointed out. City Vs. Country Problem But girls on .arms and in country towns wanted to be self-supporting as much as the boys did. The boy was an economic factor; he could run a plow or a tractor. The girl was a po- tential economic factor. She could learn bee-keeping, horticulture, gar- dening, poultry raising, 'something to add to the farm income and fit in with natural aptitude." » With this in mind "we have advo- cated establishment of short courses where girls could learn these things." If the girls didn't learn to be econ- omically self-supporting' on the farms, then they came to the cities "and the city versus country problem contin- ues."
