BEGIN IIERE TODAY
Ned Cornet, son of wealthy Godfrey
Cornet, celebrates with his friend,
Rodney Coburn, the return of the lat-
ter ,from Canada.. Ned leaves the
Totem Club in a happy frame of mind
and drives homeward in the drizaling
rain. Ned's car goes into a perilous
skid, knocking down Bess Gilbert, a
shopgirl, on her way home. A police-
man tells Cornet to report to Judge
Rossman in the morning and advises
Ned to settle for damage done to a
passing, jitney.
Ned is allowed to continue on: his
way when the girl is found to be un-
injured. He asks her to ride to her
home in his car. Ned returns home
to tell his father of the accident.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Godfrey had fought upward from
utter poverty to the presidency and
ownership of one of the greatest fur
hausea of his country, partly through
the exercise of the principle of abso-
lue business integrity, mostly through
the sheer dynamic force of the man.
His competitors knew him as a fair
but remorseless fighter, but his fame
parried far beyond the confines of his
resident city, Bearded trappers, run-
ning their lines through; the desolate.
wastes of the North, were used to see-
ing him come venturing up their gray
rivers in the spring, fur -clad and
wind-tanned—finding his relaxation
and keeping lit by personally attend-
ing to the buying of some of his furs.
Thus it was hard for a 'soft man to
feel easy in his presence.
Ned Cornet was somewhat down-
castand sullen as he entered the
cheerfully lighted hallway of his
father's house.
In the soft light it was immediately
evident. that he was his father's son,
yet there were certain marked differ-
ences between them. Warrior blood
had some way failed to come down to
Ned. For all his stalwart body, he
gave no patticr•:Iar image of strength.
He took his place at the stately table
so gravely; and quietly that his par-
ent's intet?est was at once wakened.
His father smiled quietly at him
across the board.
"Well, Ned," he asked at last "What
is it today?"
"Nothing very much. A very close
call, though, to real tragedy. I might
as well tell you about it, as likely
enough it'll be in the papers tomorrow.
I went into a bad skid at Fourth and
Madison, hit a jitney, and before we
got quite stopped managed to knock
a girl over on the pavement. Didn't
hurt her a particle. But there's a hun-
dred dollars' damage to the jit—and
a pretty severe scare for your young
son."
As he talked his .eyes met those of
his father, almost as if he were afraid
to look away. The older man, anode
little comment. He went on with his
dessert, and sou the talk veered to
other matters. •
The older man finished his coffee,
slowly lighted a long, sleek cigar, and
for a moment rested with elbows on
the table.
"Well, Ned, I suppose I might as
well get this off my chest," he began
at last. "Now is as auspicious a time
as bny, You say you got a good scare

today.1'rnhoping that it put you in
a Mood so that at least you can give
me a good hearing,"
The man spoke 'rather humbly. The
air was electric when' he paused'. Ned
leaned forward.
"You've been a very attentive son."
Godfrey Cornet paused again. "The
trouble, I'm afraid, is that I haven't
been a very attentive father. I've at-
tended to my.busineas-and little else
and now I'm paying the piper.
"Please bear with me. It was only
a little accident; as you say. The
trouble of it is that it points the way
that things are going, It could very
easily have been a terrible accident --
a dead girl under your speeding
wheels, a charge of manslaughter in-
stead of the good joke of being arrest-
ed for speeding, a term in the peri-
tentiary instead of a fine. Ned, if you
haul killed the girl it would have been
fully right and just for you to spend
a, kood many of the best years of ..your
life behind prison walls. I ask ndyself
whether or not I would bring my in-
fluence to bear, in that case, to keep
you from going there. I'm ashamed
to say that -I would.
"You may wonder about that. I
would know, in ray heart, that you
should go there. I can't accuse you
without also accusing myself. Th'ere-
fore' I would 'try t0 keep you 'but 'of
prison. In doing that, I would see
in myself further proof of my old
weakness—a weak desire th spare you
when the prison might make a man
of ;cu."
Ned recoiled at the words, but his
father threw him a quick smile.
"Your mother and I have a lot to
answer for. Both of us were busy,
I with my business, she with her
Their eyes met over the table.
household cares and social duties, and
it was easier to give you what you
wanted than to refuse you things for
your own good. It was easier to let
you go soft than to provide hardship
for you. It was pleasanter to give in
than to hold out—and we loved you
too much to. put you through what
we should have put you through,
"This 'thing' we've talked over be-
fore. I've never been firm. I've let
you grow to man's years -29, I be-
lieve—and still be a child in exper-
ience. The work you do around any
business could be done by a 1.7 -year-
old boy. Ned, I want to make a man
of you."
He-. paused again, . and their eyes
met over the table. All too plainly
the elder Cornet saw that his appeal
had failed to go home. His son was
smiling grimly, his eyes, sardonic, un-
mistakable contempt in the curl of
his lips.-
Ned's bitter smile had seemingly
passed to his own lips. "I suppose
there's: no use of going en,t; he; said.
"By all Means -go on, since yeu are
so warmed up to your subject," Ned
answered coldly, "I wouldn't like to
deprive you of the pleasure. You had
something on your mind: what is it?"
"It's simply this," his father went
on, "Today I met Leo Schaffner at
lunch, audit; our talk he gave me
what I consider a real business in-
spiration. Ile tells me, in, his various
jobbing houses, he has several thou-
sand silk and velvet gowns and coats

followed the war. He was cussing his

down to'brass tacks. '
• "It's halo I don't' intend to sell any
those hairyold whitetrappers
of hos o pp any
women's sills gowns. But this Naas
)vhat_I was going to liaye you do: first
you were to hire a good auxiliary
schooner—a strong,: sturdy, seaworthy
two -masted .craft such eel is used in
northern trading'. You'd fit that craft
out wiht a few weeks' supplies and fill
the hold with a couple of thousand' of
tlrose'gowns. 'You'd need two:: or three
mon Id run the launch—I believe the
usual crew is a pilot,` a first and sec-
enol engineer, and a cook ----and you'd
have to have a seamstress to do fitting
and make minor alterations. Then
you'd start ftp for Bering Sea:
"You may not know it, but along
the coast of Alaska and throughout
the islands of Bering Sea there are
hnnclrecls-'of little, scattered tribes of
Indians, all of thein trappers of the'
finest high-priced flu's. Nor do their
women chess in fur's and skins alto-
gether, either, as popular legend, would
have you believe. Through their het,
long summer days they weal' dresses
like American women, and the gayer
and prettier the dresses, the better
they like 'ern. To my knowledge, no
one has ever fed 'em sill:—simply be-
cause silk was too high, but, being
women, red or white, they'd simply go
crazy over .it.
The other factor in the combination
is that the Intrepid, due to the un-
settled fur market, failed to do any:
extensive buying on her last annual
trading.trip•through the islands, and
as a result practically all the Indians
have their full catch on hand, The
Intrepid is the' only trader through.
the'particular chain of islands I have
in mind—the Skopin group, north and
east of the Aleutian chain—and she's
not counting on going up again till
spring, Then she'll reap a rich har-
vest—unless you get there' first. •
"The Skopin Islands are 'charted—
any that are inhabited at all—easy
to find,' easy to get to with a sea-
worthy launch, Every one of those
Indians you'll find there will. buy a
dress .for his squaw or his daughter
to show off in, during the summer, and
pay for it with a fine piece of fur,
"This is August. I'm already ar-
ranging fora licence. You'd have to,
get going in 'a week. Hit as far north
as you want—Che farther you go the
better you will do—and then work
south. Making a big chain that cuts
off the currents and the tides, the
Skopkin• group is surrounded by 'an
unbroken ice sheet in midwinter, so
you have to count on rounding the
Aleutian Peninsula into Pacific waters
some time in November. If you wait
much longer you're apt not to get out
before spring.
"That's the whole story. The cargo
of furs y,ou should bring out should
be worth close to a hundred thousand.
Expenses won't be fifteen thousand in
all. It' would mean work; dealing
with a' bunch of crafty redskins isn't
play for boys! Maybe there'd be .cold
and rough weather, for Bering Sea de-
serves no • man's. trust. But it would
be the finest sport in the world, an
opportunity to take Alaskan bear and
tundra caribou: plenty of adventure
and excitement and tremendous progts
to boot. It would be a man's . job,
Ned,—but you'd get a kick out of it
you never got out of a ooze party in
your life. And we split the profits
75-29—the lion's share to you.” '
