AILWAYS SYNOPSIS Allen Garth is preparing to make, a trip to a mine which he has discov- ered in the- Canadian Northwest when an aeroplane appears at the little re- fueling station and an, elderly (scan, a young man and a young woman alight. The two .nen who are looking for mining prospects, become much ' in- terested in some specimens of ore shown thein by Garth. They are all raUher haughty, especially the girl, and treat Garth like a servant, but he shows% his independence and does- n't allow himself to be ordered about. They decide to take Garth in their aeroplane to inspect his mine and if it turns out to be worth working to take a lease for a year and give him sixty percent. of the output. They become so interested that they try to get away in their plane leaving him behind so hhey can put in their claim for the mine. They are thwar- ted in this and their plane is swept down the falls and destroyed. Garth then agrees to lead them out if they will do just as he says and he has got them out to the Mackenzie.

Garth steadied I4r. Ramill into the birchbark. At the same time. Lil- ith stepped in ahead :of her father. She repeated the maneuver when the two Indian paddlers drove the canoe out alongside the little river steamer. Garth saw no more of the girl un- til after the steamer tied up at Fort Simpson ,the trading post at the mouth of the Laird River. Taken in- to a stateroom by the wife of a mis- sionary from Fort Norman, she re- mained in complete seclusion. Her father kept almost equally close to the skipper's own room. The canny Scot had welcomed the Ameri- can millionaire to his bunk for a consideration. The cabin was manned with fur traders a and Fort Norman oil -field officials, who were going outside for the winter. Garth messed and berthed forward with the crew. He kept to his worn buckskins.

They flashed "You'll not have much long- er to insult me!" "I May if you don't fetch the blan- ket," he said. "A fire on the shore means nothing of itself. Just an In- dian camp John Buck and his squaw. We'll have to signal." The word sent her bounding up the bank. She came flying back with the blanket. Garth ordered her to hold one corner. He took another. They stood in front of the fire, with the big blanket stretched between them. Mr. Ramill called irritably from the top of the bank. What did they mean, wakening him and taking a- way his bedding? Lilith cried out the glad news. Garth gave her a curt order to pay attention. At his commands, she began to stoop and rise in unison with him, lowering the abandon a helpless girl to starvation! blanket to the sand and jerking it up If he was too cowardly to dare her as well to keep you out of the affair. It is possible Miss Ramill may have recovered from her resentment 'a- gainst him. ! I'll ask; you to -pardon my going to see if there are any more reports on Huxby's %movements." Though by no means curt, the dis- missal was abrupt. Mr. Ramill stood pondering for several moments before he returned to the cabin and went to the door of the stateroom, that the. Fort Norman missionary's wife had shared with Lilith. Some time before the steamer nos- ed in to the landing Garth made out that the pontooned plane afloat at the waterfront wastoo small ' to be one of the regular Bellanca tran- sports. It had no cabin, and only three seats. Foremost of the passen- gers ashore, he- at -once climbed the bluff to the post. As he expected, a red -coated con- stable of the Northwest Police was lounging in the old trading post store- room with one of the Airways pilots.. The latter sprang to meet him. "Hullo, 'Lan—you dam' lance duck! Helluva note, you squattoring in the wet all these months. Could've cruis- ed your frozen hell a hundred times in any old crate." Garth gripped hands with him. "'Lo Riwi! I didn't happen to be af- ter airpockets. There are things you have to rub your nose against to see." "And smell! I've heard of your Eskimo igloos. Count me out—com- pletely outside. Indian huts are e- nough and to spare." Garth sobered to business, "What hews?" "Your man set his bus down here three days ago. Hopped of PDQ, with all she could • heave up under—gas and oil." The constable had stood at atten- tion. He met Garth's glance with a salute. "All ready, sir."' "Good work, Dillon. One question— those three miners?" "Broke prospectors, sir. Records, far as known, not savory.. But none of the bunch is wanted, and they're not newcomers from across the bor- der. They'll know enough not to in- ferfere when I take my prisoner." The post factor came hastening in to shake hands. "Pardon by absence, Mr. Garth. Was up the Laird. It's a great pleasure to have you stop off with us. If you plan to take in dogs, L have a picked team that I'd be hon- ored—" "Thank you, no," Garth cut in. "But I would like a rifle, rabbit un- dersuit, winter moccasins, gloves, and three pairs of webs." He turned to the pilot. "Season more advanced up there. Blizzards off the Selwyns; the lake probably starting to freeze. Enough stream - flow though, to keep a clear runway for your pontoons, if we don't loiter all week." "All accounts squared, sir, and no hard feelings against either of you. Miss Ramill proved herself far more plucky and sporting than could have been expected. I wish you both bon voyage." "But for you to be leaving the boat, my boy! There's no need of it. I can arrange for you to get into the cabin. In fact, I'd like the opportun- ity to talk over matters. We might still get together on those terms you offered." "We might," Garth agreed; but then his smile hardened. "That side of the matter will have to wait. 'I shall first settle with your friend Huxby." The millionaire frowned, "Don't call that murderous hound a friend of mine. His shooting you is understandable. My wounding was of course what he claimed—sheer accident. But for the scoundrel to The United States was advised by 'George Bernard Shaw at the begin- ning of 1937 to mind its own business and keen out of European troubles as the best contribution it can make to the world in 1937. In an interview, the famous Irish wit and playwright declared that the best thing the United States can .do for civilization during the new year is to "keep its own stable clean and 'tidy and better it own conditions.". "If America will do its best to help itself along," Shaw said, "it will 'help the world. The best thing for Americans to do in 1937 is to better 'themselves and their own living' con- ditions, "If any of your people want to mix in the Spanish war or other Euro- pean adventures, get rid of them. i best That is the th n g you can do .for the world." Asked whether he thought there is •real danger of a European war dur- ing the new year, Shaw replied "Not !the slightest." again in front of the fire, at irregu- lar intervals. After some time he ordered a halt, with the blanket on the ground. He added an explanation: "Those were frenzied threats and forciblby take her and me with him in the canoe, he could at least have had the plane come for us;' "If you care for my guess," Garth dots and dashes.

"Before we came aboard, word was received by radio that a pian named Huxby had recorded a platin- um placer claim at Fort Shith; that he had bought a large airplane, and flown north with three miners." Mr. Ramill looked his doubts. "I've heard nothing of it." She asked in a low voice: "Haven't "Because I thought best for you I tried to play up? Is it sporting of not to." you to mock me?" "You!

Garth stepped out of the fire glare to peer over the water. Lilith followed. Above the low -hung star another star flashed on and off. Across the silent, glimmering flood of the river came the hoarse blasts of a steamer's whistle, muffled by distance yet un- mistakable" "All right, Miss Ramill," Garth said. "Tell your maid to pack your luggage."

You, too, will find that you can keep your entire house warmer at all hours if you change to Hamco Coke.

The best illustration of this is in the fuel field. Carefully made coke, such as Hamco Coke, is considerably lower in price than other hard fuels.

The makers of Hamco Coke say—"Buy Hamco Coke, not as a substitute, nor as a way of saving money. Buy it because it is an all -Canadian fuel which will give you greater heating satisfaction.
