GodfreyCornet sends his son, Ned,
011 a voyage to Northern Canada and
Alaska to exchange two thousand silk
and velvet gowns with the Indians for
One furs. Godfrey oflors to split the
profits 75-25, the lion's share to Ned.
Cornet is engaged to Lenore Hard-
enworth, who oilers to a000inpeny Ned
en the trip if he will take he. mother
with them. Ned hires Bess Gilbert to
go as seamstress. Tho party is bid
God -speed by hosts of friends.
Godfrey Cornet comes to the dock to
bid Ned goodbye, He asks. Miss Gil-
bert to give his son a womai's care,
Mrs, Hardenworth objects to eating
at the same table with the seamstress.
Hess makes up her mind to avoid the
three aristocrats as much -as possible.
NOW GO ON WITH `I'IiE STORY
CHAPTER VI.—(Cont'd.)
"That's three for each table, con-
sidering
of the one me
n has
to stay
at the wheal. Why shouldn't one of
these plates be removed?"
"Of enurse,,if you prefer it." Half
ashamed of his reluctance, he called
the negro and had the fourth plate
removed. 'iMise Gilbert will eat at
the second table," he explained. When
the man had gone, Ned'` turned in
appeal to Lenore, "She'll be here in
a minute. What shall I tell her?"
"just what you toldthe servant--
that
ervant—that she is to wait for the second
table. Ned, you might as well make
it clear in the •begin.iing, otherwise
it: will be a problem all through the,
trip. Wait till she comes in, then tell
her."
Ned agreed, and they waited for
the sound of Bess' step on the stair.
Mrs. Hardenworth's large lips were
set in a hard line: Lenore had a curi-
ous, eager expectancy. Quietly Julius
served the soup, wondering at the
ways of his superiors, the whites, and
the long seconds grew into minutes.
Still they did not see Bess' bright face
at the door.
"Send for her," Mrs. Hardenworth
urged. There's no reason you shouldn't
get this done and out of the -way to-
night, so we won't have to be dis-
tressed about it again."
Wholly cowed, Ned called to the
negro waiter, "Please tell Miss Gil-
bert to come here," he ordered..
A wide grin craeldng his cheeks,
failing wholly to understand the real
situation and assuming that "do boss"
had relented in his purpose to exclude
the seamstress from the first table, the
colored man sped cheerfully away.
Besa had already spoken kindly to
him; Julius had deplored the order to
remove her plate almost as a personal
affront.
Again they waited for the seam-
stress to come. The worsen were grim,
forbidding. And in a moment they
heard steps at the threshold.
But only Julius, his face beset with
gloom, cane through the opened door.
"De lady say she 'stremely sore'," he
pronounced, bowing, "But she say
she's already promised Minta McNab
to eat with him!"
CHAPTER VII.'
The Charon sped straight north, out
of the Sound, througl, the inside pas-
sage. Days were bright; skies were
clear, displaying at night a marvelous
intricacy of stars; the seas glittered
from the kindly September. sun. They
put in at Vancouver the night follow-
ing their departure from Seattle,
loaded on certain heavy stores, and
continued their way in the lea of Van-
couver Island.
Straight north, day after day! To
McNab, a man who had cruised ten
years on Alaskan waters, the air be-
gan to feel like home. It was crisp,
surging cool in the lungs, fragrant
with baisom from the wooded islands,
Already Ned had begun to readjust
• some of his ideas in regard to the
North. It was no longer easy to be-
lieve that his father had exaggerated
its beauty and its appeal, its desola-
tion and its vastness. It was a
strange thing for a man used to cities
to go day upon day without seeing
scarcely a village beside the sea, a
!!ingle human being other than those

of his own party. Here was one
place, it seemed, that the hand of
plum had touchedbut lightly if at all,
The impression grew the farther
north he went, Ever there was less
sign of habitation upon the shore, The
craft passed through narrow channels
between mountains that Clopped up
from the sea, it Skirted wooded islands,
it passed forgotten Indian; villages
where the totem poles stood naked
and weather -stained beforethe for-
saken homes of the chiefs.. The glasses
brought out a wonderful scene just
beyond the reach of their unaided
sight—glacier and snow -slide, lofty
peaks and waterfalls. Tho mystic,
brooding • spirit of the North was al-
ready over them.
They had touched at Ketehikan, the
port of entry to Alaska, and °'thence
headed ahnost straight west, across
the gulf of Alaska and toward the far-
stretching end of the Alaskan Pen-
insula. Duringtee days e
h s h were
t
Y
far out of sight gh of land, surrounded
only by an unmeasurable ocean that
rolled endlessly for none to see or hear.
They were already far beyond the
limits of ordinary tourist travel. The
big boats plied as far as Anchorage
at the head of -Cook Inlet -to the
north and east of them now -but be-
yond that point the traffic was Iargely
that of occasional coastal traders,;
most of then auxiliary sehooners of
varying respectability. They seemed
to have the ocean almost' to them-
selves, never to see the tip of a sail
on the horizon, or a •fisherman's craft
scudding into port. And the solitude
crept into the spirits of the passen-
gers of the Charon.
It became vaguely difficult to keep
up a holiday atmosphere. It was in-
creasingly hard to be gay, to fight
down certain inner voices that had
hitherto been stifled. Some way, life
didn't seem quite the same, quite the
gay dream it had hitherto been. And
yet this immeasurable vista of deso-
late waters—icy cold for all the sun-
light that kissed the up -reaching lips
of the waves—was some way like a
dream, too. The brain kept clear
enough, but it was all somewhat con-
fusing to an inner brain, a secret self
that they had scarcely been aware of
before, It was hard to say which was
the more real—the gay life they had
left, the laughter of which was still
an echo in their ears, or these far-
stretching wastes of wintry waters.
They couldn't help but be thoughful.
Realities went home to them that they
had no desire to admit. A fervent be-
lief in their own sophistication had
been their dominant point of view, a
disillusionment and a realism that was
the tone of their generation, denying
all they could not see or hear, holding
themselves superciliously aloof from
that gracious wonder and simplicity
that still blesses little children; but
here was something that was inscrut-
ably beyond them. They couldn't laugh
it away. They couldn't cast it off with
a phrase of cheap slang; demeaning
it in order to hold firm to their own
philosophy of Self. Here was some-
thing that shook their old attitude of
self-love and self-sufficiency to its
oundations. They thought they',
were bigger than life, that they had
mastered it and found it out and strip-
ped all delusions from it, but now
their unutterable conceit, the pillar
of their lives, was threatening to fall.
This sunlit sea was too big for them:
0o big and too mighty and too old.
The trouble with Ned's generation
was that it was a godless generation:
the same evil that razed Babylon to
the dust. Ned and his kind had come
o be sufficient unto themselves. They
had lost the wonder and fear of life,
and that meant nothing less than the
oss of their wonder and fear of the
great Author of life. To these, life`
had been a game that they thought
they had mastered. They had laughetf
o scorn the philosophies that a hun-.
Bred generations of nobler men had
built up with wondering reverence:
lliade arrogant by luxury and eaa
they knew of nothing too liig for thein
no mystery that their contemptuous
gaze could not penetrate, no wonder
that their reelcless hands could not
unveil. They were drunk with their
own glories, and the ultimate Source
of all things had no place in their
philosophies or their thoughts. It was`
true that churches flourished anion
them, that Charity received her due-;
but the old virile faith, the reverent
wonder, the mighty urge that has
achieved all things that have been
Worth achieving were cold and dead
in their hearts, But out here in this
little, wind-blown craft, surrounded by
an immensity of desolation beyond the
power of their minds to grasp, it wan

FOR THE HAIR
.Ask Your harrier—He knows
Desertion
When a father deserts his wife and
young children, he causes untold suf-
fering and misery to the family, not
to mention. the financial -,loss to s, the
community. When interviewed on thio
subject, J. J. Kelso, Provincial Super-
intendent of Children's Aid Societies,
stated that the records of his office
indicated clearly that this 005 a ser-
ious evil. Ile mentioned the follow-
ing ease that happened in Toronto
some years ago:
y
'A. £otherent off ff to the United
States leaving a frail little woman
with the burden of caring for five chil-
dren. It was too much for her, and
although she struggled on, tt) ehil-
dren received no proper care. Two
of, the egirls were sent to reform in-
stitutions, one boy to the Industrial
School, and an older lad was in trouble
two or three times with the pollee. In
addition to this, charitable relief had
to be given for several years so that
the total eost of this family was very
'great. The father was supposed to be
living comfortably in the United
States, but nothing was done to find
him and compel him to support his
family.
As an illustration of judicious ac-
tion, Mr. Kelso told of an official of
one of the Children's Aid Societies
who received a report from a woman
that her husband had deserted her
and gone to Suffelo. The ofteer Tot
his address, went there, and located
him, and accompanied the man home,
with the result that he is now taking
caro of the family inthe proper way.
There is some agitation in favor of
helping the wives and children of de-
serters froma public fund, said Mr.,
Kelso, and while, of course,this would
be a relief, it is a. dangerous policy.
It might be an encouragement instead
of a deterrent to a certain class. Social
organizations are powerless, as at the
present time there is no fund provided
for meeting the expense of going after
these men. If this were remedied
quite a number could be brought back
and required to resume their respon-
sibility. '

Care of Roses
Rosas require fairly deep eultivatlon-
and -heavy fertilizing up until tho era.
oe July ill order to push growth and
produce flowers, After this, however,.
It is advisable to slow down, so that',
the plants may get hardened before
the cold weather sets in, Just, now,
according to A, )I, Tomlinson, O.A,Q,,.
Guelph, nitrate of soda IS one of the
best Rertilizers to use for promoting
growth, A scant tablespoonful of
this dug in lightly around the plant,
but not touching it, is advised. One
or two applioatione a fortnight apart
will be sufficient. After July, slower -
seating fertilizers, such as link] Man-
ure or bone meal should be given; and
only shallow cultivation is advised. A
few low -growing plants, aueh as pans-
ies, eafendulae, or dWart nasturtiums, '
will /brighten up the bed and will
prove of an advantage to the roses.
Push Sweet Peas Along
The sweet peas must get their'
growth now before the hot weather
really sets In. They need deep cults-
vation and fairly heavy fertilizing, If
grown in a trench, as they should be,
gradually draw in the soil around
them, so that sleep roots may develop.
In this ease they will come through
a siege of het weather more easily
than if a shallow root growth, which
does not penetrate into the cooler soil,.
only has been grown. Just before.

tilizer sprinkled along.. the rows and
well watered in, will help the plants.
a great deal and will add to the depth
of colour of the flowers.
Plant More Beans
String beans, never so delicious as
when taken from the gaiden right at
the door, may be produced all sum-
mer. The 110st crop Should be well
under way now, but with its harvest-
ing there is no reason why this :pops-'
lar vegetable should be given up. Get-
ting the beans into the ground . at
stated Intervals guarantees .steady.
Production. Any one can grow them
and for the amount of space occupied
they are one of the most economical
vegetables we have. Tiley like the
warm weather, plenty of water and
fairly light soil. + One can get them
dwarf or climbing, and, while the lat-
ter sort are a little more difficult to
handle, poles and string being neces-
eary, they will give a bigger crop for
the space occupied. They come, too,
in two colours, green and yellow, the.
last named being known as 'the wax
type. The green, sort seem to be get-
ting more popular, and some insist
that they have a finer flavor, but there
IS little to chose.It is no -advisable
to plant them in hills, except possibly
in low, damp ground, where they are
liable to be. kept too wet. Plaut about
an inch deep, and thi nto five ,or six
inches apart. A row of 25 feet5 will
keep the average family going for
'about two weeks. One can' continue
planting's at intervals of a fortnight
up to the middle of July.
Timely Tips
If the birds are eating the lettuce,
cover with a light lattice or strip of
chicken wire. -This will scare them
