Flynn gives Drake another chance, and the father, until his death. Impresses on the boy, Steve, the debt they owe "Old Jim." Twenty years later. Steve meets "Young Jim" Flynn, his benefactor's son. Sent by Old Jim, Incapacitated through an accident In which Kate, his daughter, Is temporarily blinded, to take charge of the company's the Polaris woods operations, the youth Is Indulging In a drunken spree. Learning of Polaris' dire straits, and hoping hop-ing to do something for Old Jim, Steve hastens to the company's headquarters. headquar-ters. He ends Frani plotting against the yiynns. Worsting Frans in a fist fight, the Polaris crew assumes that he is Flynn's son, and Steve takes charge, as "Young Jim." A photograph of Kate Flynn, which Steve finds, Immensely increases his desire to aid Old Jim. He gains the warm friendship friend-ship of La Fane, queer woods scout. Steve adds to Franz's hate by driving him away from Mary Wolf, young Indian girl whom he has been abusing, and escapes a death trap set for him. Frans discovers Drake's Impersonation. Impersona-tion. Threatened with disclosure, Steve accuses Frans of setting the death trap, exhibiting evidence, and the man dare not act Steve sends LaFane to find Young Jim and sober him up. Separating the youth from his companions, compan-ions, the woodsman begins the work of "sobering," Steve wins the friendship friend-ship of HacDonald, owner of timber land the Flynns need, by his angling skill, and the Scotsman gives him an option for Polaris to buy his timber. A first payment of $25,000 within seven days Is required. Knowing of the option, and wanting the timber for a rival company, Frans plana to put Steve out of the way, but the latter outwits him.

Slipping into the room he closed the window cautiously cau-tiously behind him. He found Steve's message, signed with the single word, Jim; and after further searching, located the reply : "God's in his heaven, all's well with the world. The option Is grand news but Indication of what you have done with Dad's trust brings the greatest happiness I have known. Twenty-five thousand currency cur-rency will be delivered to Good-Bye Tuesday. Have team at Shoestring Monday noon, "Kate." And in the tittle camp beyond the Mad Woman two men lay under thp arching stars and talked on and on. "You've got it to do," LaFane said again and again. "You can do it; you must do it In less than a week, now, you'll be as fit as you ever were, ... And you can and you must; you can and you must!" The boy beside him trembled a little. CHAPTER VIII EVEN after he had taken up the many details that were awaiting await-ing his decision Steve re-read that telegram from Kate Flynn and although al-though one phase of her reaction gave him a feeling of vast achievement achieve-ment another factor gave him pro nounced dismay. If LaFane failed to do for Young Jim what Steve had hoped he might do, Kate's heart would be broken. If he were making progress, prog-ress, Steve had no word of it and each day that was added to the absence ab-sence of the two reduced his hope by Just so much. Drake knew that the time for his unmasking was at hand. Beyond Be-yond a doubt Old Jim would send an attorney to close the timber deal and the chances were that any lawyer law-yer or agent so trusted would have had dealings with Polaris in the past, and would know Young Jim well. When Steve re-entered his cabin on the return from town to find it in a sorry state of disarrangement he experienced a moment of great surprise. Then Franz's words at the Laird's came back. He had boasted that Steve had no evidence against him to prove that he had attempted murder. Sure enough; the shotgun was gone. He was chagrined at not having hav-ing taken more precautions. However, How-ever, he told himself, the threat was no longer of major Importance. The man could tell his story of having hav-ing discovered the genuine Young Jim elsewhere in the country almost al-most any time, now; it would make little difference to any person but Kate. Early on a Sunday morning Mc-Naliy Mc-Naliy harnessed his light team and started, for town to meet the arrival due the next day. Drake would have driven to the railroad himself but the fire hazard continued to increase, and If a burning burn-ing started be wanted to be on the Job; furthermore, he was hoping that LaFane would come, either with Young Jim or bearing word of him. He must be present to have at the earliest possible moment whatever news might be firthcom-ing. firthcom-ing. Had he gone to Shoestring himself him-self he might have observed things that old McNally missed. For one thing, he might have seen Franz idling within the building, build-ing, watching as Mac escorted the arrival toward the waiting wagon. He was even close enough to hear McNally say as he looked down at the brief case which was lifted In query : "Oh. that's ail right JimH likely take It right down to the Laird a. Anyhow, we got a safe 'n th' store to lock it op In." After the team trotted op Into the town to have McNally! purchase pur-chase loaded, Franz balled an automobile, au-tomobile, parleying with the driver, and was driven northward on the Good-Bye road. The car could take him only a dozen miles before the route entered swampy country that could be handily traveled only by teams, but it. completed that much of the trip before McNally had more than a start on the way home From there Franz went afoot, head ed toward Good-Bye lake. He swan the lower river and, at night, rollei' himself In a blanket taken from f pack-sack cached beneath a well concealed canoe. Until the arrival In the countr; of Steve Drake, Franz's first plan which had taken many months h the fashioning, had progressed steadily. Once upon a time, he hud sought to attach himself to Old Jim Flynn, render the services of which he was capable and profit therefrom, there-from, as most men profit His impulse im-pulse then had been rather decent; he was willing to give value for what he received. Then Kate Flynn had como to Good-Bye with her father. In the beginning she appeared to like him, but her intuition had it that the man was not what he appeared to be on the surface, that he was not one, even, for her fattier to depend on. When this became clear to Franz what decency had been In his character char-acter before was consumed by the fire of his greed and ruthlessness. Nothing remained for him In his relationship with the Flynns except gain. But he did not betray himself In the beginning. He pretended a continuing con-tinuing friendship with Polaris un til his connections with rival timber owners were perfected. Then he had commenced his campaign to undermine Old Jim. Everything seemed to be going welL The arrival of the man for whom he was to form such an antipathy frustrated the success of that scheme. His hope of sending Jim Flynn tobogganing Into ruin so his holdings might go to add to that growing empire of timberlands which Franz's principals desired was quickly cooled by the new signs of life about the Job which followed the arrival of an outstanding outstand-ing leader. This was bad enough but, added to these other failures which could be laid only at the feet of the one who posed as a Flynn, was the Item of his hold over Mary Wolf. When Steve Drake aided the girl in her departure from the squalid little lit-tle farm home where she had been so conveniently located, Franz was shaken by an urge for vengeance which knew no bounds. He tried to kill, In a coward's way, and failed. He tried blackmail, black-mail, a coward's weapon, and failed again. At MacDonald's, because of his regard for the old Scot's nature, he was forced to stand by and see the last plan he had laid for personal per-sonal gain go crashing down. But he was no quitter, this Franz I And when he read those telegrams, at Shoestring, hope came to life again. Money was coming Into the country ; money In a quantity which was In Itself disturbing to consider. But that money meant more than the possession of so many thousands. thou-sands. It renewed his faith that some day he would be the agent for a transaction Involving the transfer of the much coveted MacDonald property. He had unmasked Steve Drake for the Laird at the proper moment If that option could be caused to lapse he felt certain that the eccentric eccen-tric old Scot would refuse to renew a deal with one who had hoodwinked hood-winked him or with a corporation which had had such a one In Its service. So, the option must lapse. Steve was In the store when McNally Mc-Nally drove Into the clearing. Mac had planned to spend the night at the last farmhouse between headquarters head-quarters and town and Drake, after breakfast, bad busied himself there to be present at the arrival. He had awakened as usual when the chorus of bird songs commenced to swell dressed and stepped outside out-side with an ejaculation of surprise, because Mary Wolf was seated oa a log beside his threshold, elbows on knees, waiting with stolid pa tience, apparently for his appearance. appear-ance. "Hullo, Mary! Something wrong) Has Franz been after you again? I haven't seen him In days and I'd wondered about you." "Nothing wrong. Franz don't come by our camp." "Well, If nothing's wrong . . , What brings you here again, Mary?" "You want me?" she asked so simply and directly that it quite took bis breath. "Want you? Why . . . What . . . That Is, I don't know what you're driving at," he evaded lamely. The girl stirred slowly on the log. "My father, he die bye-'n'-bye," she said. "Not long, now. He gets worse, ne breathes fast . . . So." She panted. "I should not go before be-fore he Is dead. He Is old; sick. At school they tol' us we should stay by old people. Take care of em. That is right. I do. "But be die pretty soon. I can go. Yo'ng Jim," she said, "you treat me good. You are the only yo'ng man who ever treats me good. You ire . . . you are . , . She hesitated, hesi-tated, seeming to search for the proper word. Then, successful, ;poke it with as much emphasis, it s likely as she had ever placed on in utterance. "You are kind." Steve laughed, deeply erabar-assed. erabar-assed. "I say what Is so: you are kind. You live alone. I can cook good. They tol me at school I can cook good. I not like some. Some girls don' work. Me, I work. My father die.

She searched his face with a probing prob-ing gaze, almost as a faithful dog might, expecting largess. "When Old Jim come, I go away. When white girls come, I go away. When you go to town, me I stay by camp. I think everything when I got bark and split cedar. What you say, Jim?" Now, what did a man say to a proposal such as this? Steve Drake said nothing at all.

Senator Bailey of North Carolina says of the BnnUhead cotton bill limiting crops : "If the Supreme court passes that, I should know the end of all things had come In America, and I shall prepare for the Socialistic regime and dictatorship." However, facts count American farmers in 1033 received In ensh $3,271,000,000, an increase of Jl,-158,000,000 Jl,-158,000,000 over 1932.

But, farmers are not particular about bow they get it, If they can get It honestly. Austria, a little country, whittled down by the Versailles treaty, managed man-aged by Dollfuss, of size to match, now Is planning "muzzling" of speech, press, theater, radio. That kind of government action leads to revolution, as surely as sitting on the safety vnlve leads to explosion. Men not allowed to talk, print or broadcast will do something worse, and you can't prevent that This country shows an occasional disposition to muzzle something, radio being the object cf a muzzling desire Just now. Radio should be as free as the printing press. If radio had existed when our Constitution was written, its freedom would have been guaranteed, guar-anteed, as freedom of the press was guaranteed, perhaps more emphatically. Thanks to President Roosevelt, and the wise attitude of employers and employed, the automobile strike that would have taken millions a day In wages from the workers Is adjusted. The President has set up a "board of conciliation"; one labor man, one representative of employers, employ-ers, one "neutral." The main point Is the statement that "the decision of the board shall be final and binding on employers em-ployers and employees." That means compulsory arbitration In place of disastrous strikes and inevitable violence. Credit Is due to the President for tactful management, and Mr. Green, president of the American Federation Federa-tion of Labor, not boasting of victory, vic-tory, as less sensible men would do, says: "There Is no basis for a claim that either side, employers or employees, em-ployees, hns gained a victory over the other."

North American Besrs There are three well detlued types of bears in North America other than the polar bear which Inhnhlts the coasts of the Arctic ocean. The big brown bears, which are the largest, larg-est, are found only in Alaska. The two types found In the United States are the grizzlies and the black bears. The last are the only American boars which climb trees, the other types being too lurge and heavy. Charleston Has Famed Cardans Within a few miles of Charleston, S. G, are two internationally famed garden estates, noted for their camellias and azaleas. Mlddleton Gardens, of Mlddleton Place, laid out In 1750, are the oldest landscape gardens In America. Magnolia Gardens, Gar-dens, of Magnolla-on-the-Ashley, developed de-veloped In 1843, are among the "most beautiful In the world."

Land of Middla Ages In tuuuy respects, Inner Mongolia ia a "Land of the Middle Ages." Mongol horsemen still lasso wild ponies with slip nooses on long poles, and a reception for the Dalai Lama attracts rainbow-bued, silk-robed silk-robed princes across hundreds of. miles of rolling plains. The Mongol Mon-gol chiefs still prefer to live In felt yurts, or tents, as did their ancestors, ances-tors, and visitors of note are received re-ceived not in permanent buildings but In yurts which are entered through a wooden vestibule, Drying Oils The bureau of standards says that the most commonly used chemical chem-ical characteristic which distinguishes distin-guishes a semi-drying oil, such as cottonseed oil, from a drying oil Is the Iodine number, which is lower for cottonseed than tor Unseed oil. The drying oils contain a greater proportion of the giycerldes of unsaturated un-saturated fatty acids, such as llno-ielc llno-ielc aud lluolenlc acids. Sleep The time of day appears to have little importance In influencing sleep, except that persons trying to sleep in the day are more frequently frequent-ly upset by noise and light.
