CHAPTER V.—(Coiit'd.)
Dorothy; was laying all she had on
the altar of vanity. She might have
been .able to restrain Peters hard
drinking if she had tried, if she had
shown real interest. He never drank
when he was alone .with her—he did
not even care for a cocktail before
dinner—and at first he had not drunk
dangerously to excess even with his
men friends. This had only c9me
after they had begun to fall- away
from each other, after Ivan—no one
else—had cdme between.
She knew perfectly that there was
no happiness in thinking' upon these
things. The sensible course for her
was to follow Ivanes advice, marry
hint, let him guide her steps down
the shinning path he promised, and
play the gay genie more desperately
than ever. In the end this would be
her destiny; she sensed it as certain.
It was this that persuaded her to
the amazing course that she unfolded
to `Ivan one night in late July, and
which at first he refused to credit;
nothing less than an expedition into
Western. Alaska with the purpose of
finding iter husband's loot and neglect-
ed-grave
eglectedgrave and transferring his remains
to the dignified resting place in the.
old City Cemetery, and 'the Newhall
family vault.
Ivan's attitude was at first uncom-
promising
ncompromising opposition. "Dorothy, that's
ridiculous," he told her. "I won't hear.
Wit! A long, dangerous trip for no-
thing."
She turned to hitn in amazement,
vaguely 'offended rather than pleased
at this solicitude for iter: The look of
his face baffled her; the idea had evi-
dently moved him much more pro-
foundly than the occasion seemed to
justify. He not only looked intent
and determined, but almost desperate;
there was a quick flash of a startled
light in his eyes that she had never
seen before. ,
She was not pleased ,at his pro-
prietary air, and she showed it,.
He saw instantly that• nothing was
to be gained by violent opposition.
His brilliant smile broke like the sun-
light. "Let's • talk this matter over
sensibly," he urged, "I can imagine
how you feel—that you don't like to
think ofhie poor remains lying out
there on that lonely, rocky, desolate.
beach. But Dorothy, remember he
Ieft a note asking for immediate bur-
ial—it was not his wish to be sent

Besides, you don't realize the diffi-
culty of the trip. If you feel you
must have poor Peter's body here,
with his father's, wily don't you hire
men and have thent tend to it, and you
stay safe at home?"
"Let me explain," the girl answer-
ed, her good humor at once returned.
"I -want to say in the beginning that
I do feel I must have poor Peter bur-

Where I can look after him, and do

doesn't grata on your sensibilities. It's
a real need in me, and I have to do it. �

or more ago I'wrote'to the postmaster

onlyseemed among the nearest settle-

because it had been the home por of
the Juplier, he could likely find then
available who lcnew the approximate
place of burial.
Thus it was that Aleck Bradford,
superintendent of the cannery at
Squaw Harbor, received the following
letter:
Dear Sir:
Mrs. Peter Newhall, her uncle, Ned
Stanhope, and myself are planning an
expedition onto the north coast of the

Our plan is to take on the of Pacific

port us the rest of the way to the

"And they're right in that," Ivan

The, Flag Controversy
Dr,. Martin .in the Capetown De
Burger: It is very difileut for me to
see why the settlement of the flag
question is a reason wiry we :and the
Opposition should suddenly -fall upon
each other's necks, or why we Na-
tionalists should turn our backs, upon
the Al.leles who have stood by us in
that struggle with great fidelity and
sacrifice. The flag struggle has cer-
tainiy done th Nationalist party no
harm.. The Labor party has had to
bear the brunt and bitterness, of it.

terests of any party, and our nallonal
interests cannot be served by under-

ter together. "The tough part of it
is, by the time we can get a wire to•
then:, they'll have to rush to cateh the
last boat," Bradford said, glant:ing at
his calendar. "The Catherine D sails
early in September -they can make it
if they get a -move on but how are
they going to get back? Of Course the
Catherine will be back for the winter
in Bellingham beforethey can en-
circle the Peninsula, find the casket
and get back here in a launch."
De Long grinned cheerfully. "Shee
probably hasn't the least idea what
kind of a hard-boiledland' • this is."
He knitted his heavy brows, "It will
be easy about getting out, though.
You know we're scheduled to send the
Warrior down to Seward this fall, on
that new trap business. You've sche-
duled her to leave about the end of
the fish season. Well, we'll have her
wait .for the Catherine, , and these
three people eon get on her—the lady

can start mit ;' and the Warrior- can
take tine to run around the Peninsula,
pick up the casket, and go on•down
to Seward. At Seward they can trans-
fer to one of the Admiral Line boats
for Seattle."
"That's easy enough; perfect, in
fact. They can go down to Smelted,
you and I and the others down to
Seattle on the Catherine, without hav-
ing to delay the schedule waiting for
then to return. The matter of get-
ting suitable hien for guides and calms

I've got that, also. Fortune Joe is a

De Long grinned. "Tho medicine

man before they get back. Yes, he's
a good one—for one. Of course he
doesn't know the location of the body."
"No. For the other packer—they'll
need at least two, especially if they
don't find the grave for some days—
they can have their choice of .Buck
Uman, Dago Sessa, or Nick Pavlof.
Buck Uman is honest, but he's the

The No alt Sea has a Flying Dutch -
titan of its own—a,seee di'"ghose ship
whose' appearance is superstitiously
regarded by sailors as an- oaten of ill
fortune, if not of death, to .the be-
holder. It wart first reported by a Brit-
ish war convoy that left a Norwegian
port in November, 1917. Lieut. Cotn-
mander Fox of the Mary hose counted
twelce ships as they passed out of
sight of land. Later an enemy raider
attacked the convoy. When Com-
mander Fox counted the convoy again
there were thirteen..
Other officers on the diary Rose
coefirnfed the camber. No one had

voy. One moment there was blue sea
sparkling behind the twelfth ship: the
next.tho stranger was speeding along
with the reef, a somewhat rusty craft
whose name had been so obliterated
by long service at sea that it eould
not be inede out.
When the raider's attack began the
stranger was still with the convoy.
When the entity had been driven off
the stranger had vanished as inyster-
iously as she had appeared. The Maty

Starlings
Trudging up the lane
One dai•kc afternoon '
Through a world of leaves and water,
Suddenly we heard the rustle .and fall
Of a stream where could bo no stream.
"Strange!" we nodded, "Strange,"
But spoke not; tripped on eutekly,
Called by tite water.
And when we neared it,
The nnu'nlur-and toss and flutter of
wavelet
Seemed visible in the air,
Seemed to How about the naked trees,
Vesper -waters and lavings of night;
And stili there was nothing to owe
Savo, rank upon rank, ..
Manning shrub, tree branch, oittrmost
twig,
A multitude of chattorhig'starlings.
