Red Antares, glittering in the southwest, hung low over the dis- tant peakline. Through the trees he watched it sink and vanish. When he glanced again at Ralph he was surprised to see that the latter's ‘eyes were open. He took Ralph’s hand, to let him know that a friend was with him. Ralph looked around, evidently look- ing for Sonya. The delirium had passed, he seemed to be in no pain whatever: but he was not altogether cleat-headed, and his consclousness the last faint flare-up. azed up at Curt for a moment. lips parted. Curt bent lower. ‘Where are—we, Curt?” “Down river, Ralph. Back at the Iskitim wah.” “You thought—could get me— out?” Curt nodded, “not trusting his voice. “Where's Sonya, Curt? I'd like her—a little talk—” Curt started to say that Sonya was on her way to Karakhan, but he checked himself, No need to call that painful fact te Ralph’ wandering mind. “She's sleeping, Ralph. I'll wake her before long. She asked me to.” “Then she didn't try—to reach him, Curt?” Ralph asked, struggling weakly against the fog in bis brain. Curt could him groping to recall the happenings of that dim time be- fore he wae stricken. “I thought— she did go.” “No, she gave that over, Ralph.” “I'm glad. She'd have been left— alone in there—with those Indians, I tried to tell her so—but she be leved she could get out—somehow afterward.” Curt thought that Ralph's mind must be wandering badly. What did he mean by “left alone in there”? She would be with Karakhan, wouldn't she? And what did Ralph mean by “she’d get out, somehow, afterward"? After what? “You'll watch out for her now, Curt?” Ralph begged. “She likes you more than she—lets herself think, You'll take care of her, won't you?” Curt promised. He felt himself on erge of something portentous, & discovery of the whole truth about Sonya's trip. Very plainly she ha¢ H told Ralph. Befére he could word the ques tions in his mind, Ralph's lips were ‘moving again. “She wanted to—trust you, Curt. Wanted to tell you, and ask your help. But she felt she—didn’t dare. She wasn’t sure—just who you were; and she was afraid you’d— Judge her harshly. Afraid you'd— send her back out—if you knew. That would have been—a terri blow to her. She couldn't rest, couldn’t live—till she'd hunted him down.” Ralph sank back, limp and quiet. A tremor passed through him. For a moment Curt thought it was the end, But then came a faint rally, ‘The incoherent words he had just Ustened to bewildered Curt. Ralph wsa distinctly implying that when Sonya reached the headwaters lake she would be exposed to. some great danger. (Copyright, 1938, William B. Mowery) Curt cuts © tobstick. tomorrow.

SOLTHTITHs SHOWS SHORT WAY TO RECOVER FROM COLD If every person who gets a cold could stay in bed until he recovers from it, not only would his suffering from the cold be shortened but the spread of the disease would be checked. Since this ideal state of af- fairs is not attained, says Dr. Allen K. Krause, of Tucson, Ariz., in a statement pre- pared for the Public Health Service, the next best pro- cedure to curtail the disease is for everyone to take proper precautions “to maintain health standards which will keep colds at a minimum. The common cold is most frequent cause of ness in the country and ac- counts for more days lost from work, school or produc- tive activity than any other disease. the. ill- while the manufacture of muni- This is the first week in many] tions of war, with vast attendant, during which no building permits] profits, is left in private hands.’ [have been issued from the office} George Fox, the Quaker, said that ,of Inspector Harry Baker. the way to do away with war was | There were only six issued dur-} to do away with the occasions of jing the month, to date, December 15. amount to $10,670.
