With a thundering crash, millions of tons ef ice broke and | swept past Dawson on its way toward the sea. Watching from the bank, Dawsonite aw three young caribou marooned on an ice floe in the middle of the river, headed for death. Survivors, apparently, of some herd that had tried to cross the river just as the ice broke. Caribou by the tens of thousands have been wandering near Dawson recently. Several hundred of them, the day the Yukon ice broke, “passed through the outskirts of the | city unmolested.” That’s a touch of the dramatic, men allowing wild game to mingle with them without shooting. On the borderline of common danger, even the lion and the lamb lie down to- gether. In the average city, there would have been a rush- ing for rifles. In Dawson, men are sports enough to give} caflbou a chance for their lives In the Far North are few “sportsmen-hunters.” Men kill there only for food, hides and furs, Very little killing for the sheer joy of murdering a beast. They may not realize it, but subconsciously they are re- sponding to the principle that various forms of life get along peaceably together in the presence of common danger. In a forest fire, natural enemies such as deer and timber wolves rush to the same lake or river and, safe from the fire | with only their nostrils exposed, forget their usual feud. Even man has been decent enough to pass laws protecting fish, birds and game beasts during the mating or rearing | season. j In civilization, men stalk each other. But let a common danger come — such as a flood or big fire or disease epidemic —and they instantly forget their traditional warfare. All band together for the common good. For this reason, one of the gre ivilization is'that it makes existence too “s Removed from com- mon natural enemies (such as wild beasts, starvation and freezing), men turn on each other and by ‘war or crime vent the fighting energy inherited for the purpose of fighting crude nature in the struggle for existence. That’s why wars become more terrible as we get more “civilized.” Possibly Providence sent the great flu epidemic to help restore the common-welfare instinet in a war-torn world. We’re much in need of a great natural catastrophe to make us co-operate instead of stalking each other. Peculiar weather this spring has made some wonder if another Ice Age is coming. If it did, war and organized thievery would vanish overnight. Nature has been too good to us, too easy. test perils of DEATH The interval between birth and death is short. And con- sider with how much trouble, and in company with what sort of people, and in what a feeble body this interval is laborously passed. Look at the immensity of time behind you, and to the time which is before you—another boundless space. In this infinity, then, what is the difference between pin who lives three days and him who lives three genera- | ions? | Marcus Aurelius, phenomenally wise, wrote that. It may be a wretched humanity if the doctors wind up their monkey gland experimentation by making us or our descendants live more than two centuries at the most. Lite | begins to get very monotonous, to most of us, after 70. | ; CURIOSITY Radio broadcasts singing by canaries. The program in- terests many ‘thousands who would throw a shoe at any real) canary perching on their windows and starting to tune up. The radio fan is interested in the wizardy of radio itself rather than in the actual programs. A similar situation in movies. Critics keep raving about movie plots= But the average person in the audience prob- ably cares less for plot than for being able to sit and watch the private affairs of screen characters—like hearing gossi or listening to catch the argument next door. Not to men- | tion, that enjoying a movie requires no thinking. “CURES” Why are most of us more interested’in cures than in pre- vention of diseases? Dr. Clifford Allbutt wants to know. Can it be possible that we nurse a subeonscious hope of hav-| ing’ the disease, as an experiente, and being assured of re-| covering? j “Get the medical profession announce a cure, and it: is shouted from the housetops.. But when they announce how to ‘prevent the malady, how to dodge it entirely, interest is mild=-That’s why campaigns for prevention of diseases usu- | ally fizzle. i CONTRACTS : | ome transacted by telephone/or telegraph is.as bind- in, m individuals or businesses a3 though they had made th eement in writing.

The Nelsons’ bank was known as the Security National, and it repre- sented the life work of two genera- tions of the family. Bell’s father had founded it, in the early cattle days, but to the genius and industry of Bell himself had been due its growth into one of the influential saying: “That's enough for now,| institutions of the state.

Pave- ments, large buildings, bright lights, theaters--Buddy was thrilled. He | prepared himself for introduction to oil operators, to men of finance sit- iting in marble and mahogany of- fices; he made ready to step forth into the big world. Great was his astonishment, therefore, when after a swift walk Gray turned into a tiny frame in- surance office on a side stree Funny place to look for people of influence, Buddy cogitated. A girl was seated at a desk; she jrose at sight of Gray, and her face ibroke into a smile. Her greeting warm; her hand lingered in his; for the moment neither of them pres- seemed to remember Buddy’s ence. When she did hear his name, however, her face lightened and she gave her hand tp him as to an old ifriend. When she smiled at him, as she had smiled at his companion, Buddy dropped his hat. He had never seen anyone in the least like this creature and—she knew Allie! She knew his mother! He had’ miss- ed her name, but probably she own- ed that Dallas department store, or was the mayor of Wichita Falls. He had never before been so embarrass- ed. Mr. Gray certainly was a wonder- ful man, His poise, his air of re- spectful but easy familiarity with this—t angel raised him im- mensely in Buddy's esteem, Think of joking, chatting, making pretty speeches to an angel! That was going some. The gall of it! After a while, when the two men were on the street again, Buddy in- quired: “Who ‘is that young lady? I mean—her name?” Gray told him, then with a friend- ly twinkle: “Well, speak out! What do you think of her?” “Oh—Gee!” Buddy cried, breath- lessly, whereupon his companion laughed in perfect satisfaction. CHAPTER XVIII \ A Bank Changes Hands Two callers were awaiting Gray when, late that afternoon, he mounted the stairs to his office— Tom Parker and Judge Halloran— and something in their formal, awk- alarm through him. The two old men were talking, one lamely supplementing the other's efforts to lead up to the object of their visit, Gray turned a set face to ‘Yom Parker finally, and inter- rupted by saying: “Permit me to ease your. embar- rassment, sir. You object to my at- tentions to your daughter. it?” Tom dropped his eyes and mumbled an uncomfortable affirma- tive. “Not, I hope, because you question the mature of my inten- tions?” “Oh nol” Icran declared, ‘Mom and I are gentlemen of the of—well, of even paying attentions 'sentcheon.” blot upon mine?” Tom Parker stitred; irritably he broke out, . you did it!” “Did what?” Tom remained silent, but: when tory breath, Gray lifted a hand. rose nervously tone continued: “Again let me speak for you and shorten our mutual distress, First, however, I must make my own posi- tion plain.

For that matter, the three local men above named concerned themselves little with the actual running of the institution; for the Nelsons, who {owned fine-tenths of the stock, were | supreme in that sphere. It was only at the annual’ meetings when jpli- rectors wer,/re-elected—and invari- ably they succeeded _ themselves— that they foregathered to conduct the dull routine business which is a part of all annual meetings. In spite of the fact that the pro- gram this year was as thoroughly cut and, dried as usual, the day pf the meeting found both father and son decidedly nervous, for there were certain questions of nianage- ment -and of policy which they did pot wish to touch upon, and their nervousness manifested itself in an assumption, of friendliness and good fellowship quite unusual. Senator Lowe, the bank’s attorney and secretary, was arranging his minute books, his’ reports, and his miscellaneous papers, Martin Mur- phy was telling his latest story, when a knock camé at the door to the directors’ room. Bell him-elf answered it, but his protest at thy interruption died upon his lips wheh he beheld Calvin Gray, Gus Bris; kow, and'the ‘latter's son, Ozark, ling him, Gray spoke sharply, and his words fell with the effect of a bomb, at least upon Bell and Henry, for what he said was: “We are attending this meeting as stackholders, and we came early to enable the secretary to record the necessary transfer of our -shares.” Disregarding the president's gasp of astonishment, the speaker pushed past him and entered, then intro- duced himself and his companions to the other men present. Henry Nelson experienced a sick moment of dizziness; the room grew black before his eyes. It was peu who broke out, harshly: “Stockholders? = Where did you get any stock in this bank, I'd like to know? “We bought it. and there—” “I don’t believe it!” Bell glared at the speaker, then he turned jhis eyes upon Swope, upon Murphy, up- on Gage. “Did any of you sell out?” “We don't own enough to make it worth while,” Swope said, dryly. Murphy and Gage agreed. Befl’s pe- culiar display of emotion surprised them; they exchanged glances. “I thought there wasn’t any stock out- side of what's owned by our group. What's the idea?” Gray answered, easily. “There is now a considerable amount outside of that. A very’ considerable amount.” Henry Nelson made himself aud* ible for the first time, and sneered angrily, “Quite theatric, Gray, .this eleventh-hour move. How mych What's your—your ace Picked it up here jobject?” In spite of himself his voice shook. My object is purely _ selfish.” Gray's tone was equally unpleasant. He had expected to create a sensa- tion, and he was not disappointed” “Mr. Briskow and his son are look- ing for a secure investment, and I have ‘convinced them of the sound- ness of your institution. My opera- tions make it necessary for me to establish a close banking affiliation —one where I can ask for and r ceive consideration”—his mockery? was now unmistakable—“so where should I turn, except to my friends? I assume you make no objection to the stock transfer? Very well.” He drew from his, pocket a bundle shares and tossed them Peer table to Senator Lowe.
