Jimmy Rowan was hopelessly in love with Roce Morris, the prettiest girl in Dover, Michigan. Of course, that was years ago, in early school days . . . but it was hopeless for Jim- my because he was just 'that Rowan kid," desperately - poor, while Rose's family was rich. While Jimmy was working his way through college, Rose Morris moved away and the home sold for barely enough to pay the mort- gage . . . Jimmy vowed to himself he'd get rich . . . and find Rose. Eas- ier vowed than done and years passed before Jim Rowan finally landed in the Klondike . . . there to gain wide reputation as a gambler, known as "The Michigan Kid." On his way out at Nome, Rowan came upon a meeting of Michigan folks scheduled so he attended. There he came upon Hiram Morris, old, worn and hungry. Morris,- with his daugh- ter Rose, is prospecting a claim. Row- an hires as helper and goes out to the claim, ordering supplies sent. Roce he learns of the father's strug- gle. Now go on with the stofy. CHAPTER V Rowan opened lips then clesed them. "You see?" 'The girl laid her hand wpon his arm. "Poor Don Quixote! Won't you think better of it and go out to God's country? You've 'earned it, Jim, and you'll find your opportun- ity there. Father is enthusiastic, he really believes in this claim, but 1 - know it's no good, and besides, we're unlucky. Everything has gone badly since we lost our money back there in Dover. disappointment has made him almost childish. All We has left ig that con- viction that some day heill 'land in the pay. There are hundreds like him." "And what would you do?' Rowan inguired. Wearily Rose shrugged. "What I have always done--remain at his side. I love him. He gave me everything when lie had it to give. I'm the staff he leans 'upon and without me he'd fall, We ca) get along, Jim." "How?" "I was offéred a job waiting on table at the Bonanza--" The man uttered an exclamation. Roughly he said, "I'd sooner see you in a dance hall." "I could even get married--" Rose 'smiled faintly. "Michigan's Luck" Jim's hands twitched, but his face was impassive as he said:" "No. I'm going to stick. 1 made a few dollars in Dawson and I left there looking for one more chance--one big chance to win or lose, make or break. I play hunches, and when your father offered to go fifty-fifty with me I had a hunch that my number was due. Have you "ever heard of 'Michigan's Luck'?" "Yes, of course.

Let's hope so, anyhow, 1 believe in hoping for things until you get them." It was in. this manner that Jim Rowan became a miner, a pic-and- shovel man. He put up a cabin for himself and he did his own cooking-- a thing any man abhors. Although he and Hiram began to prospect the claim, it was Jim who 'did most of the actual work. His flabby muscles re- belled, at first; blisters grew upon his white palms; they burst, then turned into callouses. Slowly, painfully he hardened himself. It was an ordeal, but as his body grew strong so did his determination to win the love of Rose Morris. Refuses to Sell Every day he had to fight the de- sire to voice his love, but the better he came to know Rose, the more fear- ful he became that somehow the grave of The Michigan Kid would be dis- turbed and that she would behold the skeleton it concealed--grass was slow in growing over it--hence he showed his devotion only in the things he did. Autumn came and Jim put into ef- He's a feeble old man and fect a plan he had worked out. He "salted" thd. pannings from their ground just enough to make Aa show ing, this being necessary to his scheme: then he interested a pur chaser in buying the claim. He In- structed the man to offer twenty thousand dollars for it, supposing, of course, that Mr, Morris would leap at the chance to sell. But this was the first gold the old man had ever found and those few yellow flaRes strengthened his senile conviction that the property was rich. He refused the offer. He refused again and again, even when Jim's man raised the bid to forty thousand dol- lars, He did mote than refuse; he boasted about the offer fn town and said he had struck regular * 'Mich- igan's' luck." This caused 'quite a flurry of excitement and reluctantly Jim was forced to call off his bidder. Jim's effort had an effect other than he had expected; a forty-thousand- dollar offer for a wild-cat claim on Friday Creek centred interest there, 'and promptly the Bonanza crowd sent an outfit over and began work on some property they owned below old Hir- am"s. This outfit was in charge of a young fellow by the name of Hayward, and once he had become acquainted with Rose he took such an interest in Fri day Creek that he spent all of his time there, This Hayward was a finc-looking, upstanding youth and he undoubtedly had a way with him, But his way with women was more agreeable than his way with men: towards Jim Row- an, for instance, he displayed the same air of contemptuous superiority that he reserved for his employees. The Real Reason Rose liked him, however--perhaps that was the real reason why Jim did not. In any event, the two men were go different in character that a clash was inavitahle, Jim had made it 'a practice never to go into town for fear of recognition, hence it was Hiram who made the: weekly trips for mail and for the necessary purchases, One day while he was in town it began to snow and during the afternoon this snow turned to rain and sleet. The old man re- turned abaut dark, quite wet and chil ly. He wag a long while getting warm-Y, ed through' and later in the evening he 4 complained of feeling badly and went to bed. ) . : ! Jim was awakened during the night by a knock on his door. It was Rose. In a tone that instantly brought him to his feet she told him that her father wag ill and that she was fright. ened. Throwing on his clothes, he hurried to the larger cabin. Hiram was bwning 'up with fever; he coughed almost continuously; he was in pain. Jim announced at once that he would go for a doctor.

There is dynamite in those little summaries variously entitled "Ten Years Ago," "Twenty-Five Years Ago," and "Fif- ty Years Ago." "Fifty Years Ago" A most careful editor culled his items each week, omitting all that he felt might offend some subscriber. One. bit in particular he studied for a long time. It was to run under the head of "Fifty Years Ago," and it told that on this day fifty years ago, Miss Irma Clemens began her stu- dies at the public school. The editor would, of course, not have dared to run such a dangerous piece, but he knew for a fact that Irma had been dead for many years.- Further, he knew she had no close relatives still living. In his inno- cence, the man decided that here was one bit of news that could harm. no one. So he ran the picee and it ap- peared in the papers the following Thursday, i Friday" morning he had a caller. She was white-faced with rage. "How do you do, Miss Crane," the editor said ingratiatingly, clearing seventeeic changes and five mats from a chair. "Will you sit down?" Just Two Years Older "I will not sit down," said Miss -Matilda Crane. "And, what's more, I want to cancel my subscription. The' gall of you! Printing that piece" about Irma Clemens starting public school fifty years ago! It's libel, sir." "But poor Miss Irma Clemens is dead -and gone," réturned the editor. wringing his hands. "lt can't injure the -deceased to give out that she was born more than fifty years ago." "Maybe it can't hurt Irma," said the steely-eyed Miss Crane, "but how about the fact that everybody in this town knows I was always just two Years older than Irma?" Modern Girl's Feet Are Getting Bigger Have Increased a Size and a Half During Last Decade Milady might be offended if she were told her feet are getting larger. But putting it mildly: The average size of women's shoes has increased by a size to a size and a half during the last ten years, but they also are better formed than they were. "Authority for this statement ig Harry Ostermeler stylist of a large St. Louis shoe manufacturer. While a trend toward greater comfort in women's clothing has had something to do with the increase, he said, it Is also true that the feet of the present generation of women have grown larger. They're Better Fitted "This is because modern women were better fitted when they were children," Ostermeier explained. "As a result, their feet have developed more naturally and are better formed than those of their mothers .and grandmothers. This fact accounts to Bonanza camp," he told the girl, "be- cause I won't be able to get back be: fore morning." Rose turned eyes dark with appre- hension upon him. "He's very ill, isn't he? He woke me up muttering. Hea™Hm--? It's all about .'landing in the pay." "I'm afraid he's a pretty sick man. There's a medicine case somewhere among my things. 'Look until you find it. 'And don't allow yourself to become . panicky. Be a brave girl, Rose." He laid a hand upon Rose's shoulder--i was the first time he had ever touched her except by inadvertence --- and there was such sympathy, such com- fort in his gesture that tears wet her lashes. - "Oh, Jim!" she cried.

The second in color----green, blue, purple--ap- plied. in a line at the eyelashes. "2. In nail polishes it was suggested nails be tinted to match the evening shoes.

"To carry over the ideal that 'woman's place is in the home, when she cannot now function in the home as she once did may make for her a parasitic, non-pro- ductive existence formerly open to a small privileged minority," -adds Dr, Elliott, "There is no reason to sup- pose that if woman's contribution to family support is now made under dif- ferent conditions family life will thereby be jeopardized. Family life has also been underging change as to the amount of time and for what pur- poses its members are inthe home. It is quite conceivable that the family as a group of interesting individuals may be reconstructed around central inter- ests other than productive activity \in the home. "The idea that a man's ego cannot stand the effect of his wife's working outside the home is at once suspect. 1las he never been aware of her work: ing in the home or ig he unwilling to have his control of her activity thus diminished? "It ig true that if women work out- side the home they cannot assume the whole of the work inside as well.

The term "style conscious" embod- jes that elusive quality which draws the margin between well dressed and stunning, for no matter how stylish an ensemble may be, if it is not suited to the wearer's own individuality, its beauty is lost, To understand one's own most flattering type of wearables is the thing for which women should strive before beginning that all im- portant tour for new spring clothes, Before ou Consider Clothes A few preliminary rules will go a tong way toward paving the road to real style consciousness. A becoming coiffure and attractive make-up are among the first steps, before clothes are considered at all, Then niust fol- low a careful study of one's best col- ors, those which will add tone to one's particular complexion; one must decide what style of collars are most becoming, whether a tailored hat or a more feminine model will bé the wisest choice; the length at which her skirt should hang to give the most graceful symmetry of silhouette.
