Their schooner has drifted ashore. Quarrier complains he has been robbed by a man known as "Laughin? Mc- Donald." At Elkwan an Indian girl, Ninda, tuberculosis victim, whom Garth has befriended, Is dying. Joan, trained war nurse, cares for Ninda, but the girl dies. Charles Guthrie writes reproaching his brother for not coming home. Charles' wife assures him Ethel still loves him, but Garth In his heart knows better. Three of McDonald's party visit Elkwan' seeking to buy gun shells. From them Garth learns of evil talk among the Indians concerning him and Ninda. With Etlenne's help Garth wins the friendship of Saul Soucl, "medicine man" of the Crees, and gets his promise to persuade the Crees to take their furs to Elkwan Instead of to McDonald.

SALT LAKE Farmers of Utah are planning on planting 15 per cent more cres of winter wheat than were planted for the harvest of 1927, according to figures compiled by the United States department of agriculture, released Total acres to be planted Monday. this fall under the present figures amount to .178,000, which Is 23,000 more than were planted last fall. MOSCOW Idaho again ranks seventh among the twelve westernrange sheep states in volume of wool produced, it Is Indicated by the 1927 summary of production of states Just Issued by the department of agriculture. With her stock sheep population at the beginning of this year about 150,-00- 0 In excess of that at the first of 1926, Idaho was in a favorable position to climb higher in the ranking states, but a serious drop In average fleece weight for 1927 minimized the possible contribution of the increased sheep numbers. PROVO Plans are now completed for the Utah county fair, which will be held on September 20, 21 and 22. The final arrangements were made at a recent meeting of the county fair board directors, at which all directors and supervisors were present. BOISE Idaho's apples are in big demand this year because of the serious shortage of virtually all the big producing states, M. L. Dean, director of plant industry, announces. The Idaho crop is 25 per cent of that raised last year, while eastern states range from 37 to 55 per cent of last year. PRICE A stock of 250 Chinese pheasants has been received here by County Treasurer E. N. Radcliffe and E. Bernardi of the state fish and game commission. They have been planted along the river between Price and Wellington. Seven hundred and fifty birds, which will be received at a later date, will comprise the quota in this county for 1927. The pheasants are from the state game farm at Sprinvllle. NAM PA Cucumbers by the ton are coming into the II. J. Heinz plant here daily, and the staff has had to be enlarged several times to take care of the huge business. Cucumber fields under contract to supply the plant here are producing so heavily that the company has decided to make extensions to the plant. Five new vats are to be constructed and the sorting and weighing is to be extended. New trays are now being constructed to handle lh receipts. SALT LAKE Soj'tered showers of the past seven days failed to be of much benefit to Utah crops, according to the weekly weather report issued by H. M. Hlghlnian, acting meteorologist in Ihe local office of the United Slates weather bureau. The warm, dry weather was favorable for harvesting, threshing and haymaking, the work proeressing rapidly.

To the girl who, In her blend loveliness, smiled from his dresser, in the dim candle light, Garth vouchsafed the acknowledgment of a doubtful shake of the head. "The sister-in-laof the great Sir Charles Guthrie," he quoted from Clara's letter. "No, you haven't changed, my dear. You're the same old Ethel." And he blew out the candle.
