IN WINTER EVERY ONE Is HIS AGE Most people know little about the heat regulating mechanism of the body, and the fussbudgets who evince the greatest anxiety about wearing sufficient clothing to “protect” the body know the least about how we keep warm or cool.

In such a world there would be no wrangling over the elementary clothing required in various seasons or changes of weather, or influence of dampness on health. Young persons with their high metabolism or rate of internal com- bustion find moderate external persons, with low metabolism or slow- external warmth for comfort. So there you have the bone of conten- tion, and as long as we permit old people to live we shall have this ever- lasting wrangling between the two classes as sure as winter comes.

He could easily imagine it of Helen Mathieson or others like her, but not of Sonya Volkov. In the course of his dealings with her father and brother at Victoria, he had met her and {mmediately thrown over the Mathieson girl for her; but she had proved the most elusive creature of his wide experi- ence, At times he had even been a little afraid of her—and now she was @ctually coming to him, He believed he understood those ix weeks.

No coyness there, but a cry of sheer longing for him! A mile down the lake shore he came to a small cove, screened by sweeping pines—a beautiful little Tetreat with its tinkle of water and scent of cloudberry blossoms, Lean- ing against a lichened rock, he watched a pair of Harlequin ducks tipple and feed in the shallows. In the back of his mind he was imagin- ing Sonya Volkov there witi him in that seclusion; but his thoughts were gradually sobering, for those two suspicious strangers kept in- truding, a jarring discord in his fancies, He knew now that they were not Drospectors, whatever else they might be.

At noon, when the Klosohees be- gan waking up, he went in and tonsed LeNoir. “You go back south with Siam- Klale,” he directed, “and hook up with those eight others. Your first move will be to get Miss Volkov away from that party, so she won't be exposed to any danger. Then choose your time and place, and fin ish this business off. Don’t try ta ambush or outwit those two, When you've got an advantage of eighteen: to-one odds you ought to use it by making a head-on attack. It may cost eight or ten men, but we'll let the Klosohees do the worrying about that.” LeNoir nodded. He was not fook ishly confident, he knew what a ter rific fight Ralston and his partner would put up; but they were only two men, against three dozen. The others did not count. Nichols was &@ Taw tenderfoot, and those two guides would not be worth anything in @ showdown fight. “Don’t run any risk yourself,” the Russian cautioned him—needlessly. “You won't have to. Let the Kloso- hees do it. Now, just one other point. If anything at all goes wrong, IT mean if you don’t kill those two at your first smash, fire a runner to me at once. I want to know about it. I'll come down there and help you out. You'll do that, now?” LeNoir thought it odd that his chief, who always before had kept strictly away from danger, should want to get into this fight personal- ly. But he promised to send the word. They walked outside to the Kloso- hee camp where the men were get- ting ready to shove away. A silent tight-lipped band, they were going about their little war with no cere- mony of fol-de-rol, Even t Kara- khan, who was heartily tired of them, they were an admirable body of men. Siam-Flale, trundling along the water and giving orders, was the only repulsive one of the lot. Half a head taller than any of the others, he had the massive build of a grizzly, the close set eyes of a carcajou, and an indomitable physical courage which overawed even the mountain men that be ruled.
