It is easy, for instance, to say that 8,000,000 men—or 4,000,000, or what- ever the number may be—have gone back to work.

In order to save space I'll quote only the essential point and give the initials of the reader who submitted it: T have found relief from the cramps by just covering my head with the bed clothes and rebreathing the air a few minutes. (Miss V. W. M.) This has. relieved me many times. Lie on back with one foot apart. Turn tees of each foot inward (pigeon- toed) as far as possible and hold them there from 15 to 30 seconds. Then assume the normal position and go to sleep. (M. L. D.) Lie on back and slowly lift limb to an angle. This never fails to relieve cramps and straighten out thé kinks. (Mrs, W. A.D.) (Mrs. L.

I have done so ever since and have never had any more cramps. (T. W.) (Mrs. F. 8. reports similar method.) T have found it efficacious to place the hollow of the foot of the cramped leg on the instep of other foot and press steadly. This relieves the cramp without the necessity of getting up. (F.

As they started down the land- wash together, her hand touched his arm, a little gesture of gratitude. “You and your partner to do this for a complete stranger like me—I can’t think of anything adequate to eay.” Curt had not heard her speak be- fore. Her voice drew his attention. A low contralto, it was tinged with an accent, faint, rather pleasant, giving an odd sweet overtone to her words. Her English was precise and flowing, but English was not her native tongue. “No bother to ue,” he turned her thanks aside. “But you do want to be more careful than you were to- night.” He had meant to give her a stern “ta!king-to”; coming across to the island, he had even thought up several blunt things to say. But some instinct checked him, | Paul had found the canoe and brought it to the water edge. “Use | this one to go back ie. Mam’selle,” | he bade Sonya. “Our own is muddy from a wet portage today, I'll take it.” He stepped in and glided out into | the channel. Curt floated the ’breed’s canoe, helped his companion in, shoved away, and followed in Paul's wake. The girl took off her tam, wiped her forehead with a ridiculously small kerchief, and looked back at the receding islands. For the first time Curt observed her closely. He tried not to stare but he could hard- ly help it. He did not remember that he had ever seen so beautiful a girl as this tenderfoot stranger. She was odd and puzzling. Some thing about her—he could not pin it down to any one thing—gave him the impression of aristocracy. The fingers of her small brown hand resting on the gunwale were long and tapering; there was s proud poise to her head; her firm nose, arched lps and delicately-molded chin seemed finely aristocratic. Brownish-golden and silky, her hair ‘was so long that he knew it must reach to her knees when she combed {t out loose. H® stopped paddling a minute to Droffer her his opened , case and lighter. She selected a cigarette, lit it slowly and deliber. ately. The little fame lighted up her face for a moment, and he saw her more distinctly—her long lashes, the brown of her eyes, the merest Suggestion of a dimple in her cheeks.

VALLEY Mowou Bynon “My brother said he met you this' afternoon when you landed,” ehe broke their silence, “My name is Sonya Nichols.” Curt was surprised. Ralph Nich- ols’ sister! He hadn’t connected those two at all. Sonya—wasn’t that foreign? It might be French or Rus- sian hardly Canadian. Her voice, name and whole air were distinctly alien. er German or anything, but He recollected himself. “Mine's Ralston, Curt Ralston. A prospec- tor.” She eyed him narrowly. As he felt her gaze upon him Curt knew she was forming her private opinion of him asa man. To be studied, labeled ad put into a pigeon-hole by her was a bit irritating. That was how Nich- ols the entomologist would study a new insect. “I wouldn’t have taken you for a prospector, Mr. Ralston.” Curt’s paddle missed a stroke. “What makes you say that?” “Well, just because.” “I suppose I'm not the sourdough type, with trousers stuffed into my boots and a laurel thicket on my face,” he explained with @ casual laugh. “I’m a book-learned geologist of sorts. My partner and I try to put some method into our prospecting. Does a fellow have to fry pancakes in his shovel and chew tobacco in his sleep before you consider him an eighteen-carat bush-loper?” Sonya smiled. “Oh, not at all.” She slapped a mosquito on her ankle. “What I meant was that—well, I just wouldn’t have put you down as @ prospector.” Curt detected an overtone of dis- Paragement in the way she spoke the word. She seemed to imply that she had considered him above that carefree bush-loping type and that he had dropped in her estimation when she found he was a mere wil- derness roamer. $ he drove the canoe along ha wondered just who and what Ralph Nichols’ sister, yes; She was so full of contradictions that he could not classify her at all. She wore no jewels, her clothes were decidedly inexpensive, her rod was a cheap dollar thing that he would not have carried home; yet she had the gracious easy refine- ment of good birth and culture. Back yonder on the island she had stood up to an ugly danger like & man, yet she was exquisitely femi- nine—by comparison Rosalie Marlin seemed almost unladylike. He wished he could stop thinking 80 unfavorably of Rosalie. “Are you intending to be here at Russian Lake very long, Miss Nichols?” “We're leaving tomorrow morn- Curt felt disappointed to hear sho wae going away so soon.

They drew near the shore. Some where among the Russian ruins & horned owl hooted its weird eight- noted call. Curt pointed at the dim outlines of the post and tried to make talk. “I suppose you've heard the wild yarns about that place, Miss Nich- ols?” “Those ‘yarns’ aren't half as wild as the real facts. Father Lespérance was telling me yesterday about the actual history of this old fort. You see, he discovered the records. They were hidden in a niche above the main door, and a stone tumbled dur- ing a thunderstorm, and that’s how he happened to find them.” While they drifted on in she sketched him a few high lights from the story. A hundred and forty years ago a tribe of Indians, the Klose hees, had lived around the shores of Russian Lake. The Cossacks came inland, eubjugated them by trick ery, forced them to bring stone 804 make the buildings; and then begat robbing, extorting, torturing. Ia a single generation the Kloso” hees dropped from a tribe of four hundred people to a mere remnant of eighty. But then an avalanche fell upon the fort one night, an sv lanche of vengeance, which bad been damning up for twenty years. (Copyright, 1983. Wiliam B.
