SYNOPSIS
William's thoughts might have seem
ed to her as queer as his expression
could she have knowu tlieiu. They
were not very definite, however, tak
ing the form of sweet, vague pictures
of the future. These pictures were of
married life—that Is. married life as
William conceived It for himself and
Miss Fratt—something strikingly dif
ferent from that he had observed as
led by his mother and father or theiT
friends and relatives. In his rapt
mind he beheld Miss Pratt walking be
side him "through life," with her para
sol and her little dog, her exquisite
face always lifted playfully toward his
own. with admiration underneath the
playfulness, and be heard her voice
of silver always rippling baby talk
throughout all the years to come. He
saw her applauding his triumphs—
"Vill-etr

his heart misgave him. Then he came

stood before them with feet of clay. In
deed, pedestaled upon the curbstone.
"Who i» that curious child?" said
Miss Pratt, stopping.
William shuddered.
"Was she calltng you?" Miss Pratt
asked Incredulously.
"Willie, I told you you better take
an umberelier," said Jane, "Instead ol
papa's cane." And she added triumph
antly, "Now you see!"
"You go home!" he commanded
hoarsely.
Miss Pratt uttered a little scream ol
surprise and recognition. "It's youi
little sister!" she exclaimed, and then
reverting to her favorite playfulness ol
enunciation, "'Oor lckle sissa!" sh<
added gayly, as a translation. Jane
misunderstood it Bhe thought Mist
I'ratt meant "our little sister."
"Go home!" said William.
"No'ty, no'tyt" said Mist Pratt, shak
lng her head. "Me 'frald oo's a no'ty
no'ty iekle dirl! All da tie!"
Jane advanced. "I wish you'd lei
me carry Flopit for yoji/' yhe said.
Giving forth anotlW gentle scream,
lliss Pratt hopped prettily backward
from Jane's extended hands. "Oo-oo!"
6he cried chldlngly. "Mustn't touch!

Evabody will love 'oor Ickle slssa den,"
*.le concluded, turninz to William.
"Tell 'oor Ickle slssa mus' doe home
det soap-water wash."
Jane stared at Miss Pratt with fixed
solemnity during the delivery of these
admonitions, and it was to be seen
that they made au impression upon
her. Iler mouth slowly opened, but
she spake not An extraordinary idea
had Just begun to make Itself at home
In her mind. It was an idea which
had been hovering In the neighborhood
of that domnln ever since William's
comments upon the conversation 0/

Mr. Genesis In the morning. Mean
while William and Miss l'ratt went
on, leaving June to her own diversion.
The pule end of sunset was framed
In the dining room windows, and Mr.
and Mrs. Baxter and the rehabilitated
Jane were at the lable when William
made his belated return from the aft
ernoon's excursion. Seating himself,
bo waived his mother's references to
the rain, his clothes and probable colds,
and after one laden glance at Jane he
fell into a state of trance.
"Everybody In town seemed to be on
the streets this evening as I walked
home," Mr. Baxter remarked, addresB
Ing his wife. "1 suppose there's some
thing In the clean air after a rain that
brings 'em out. I noticed one thing,
though. Maybe it's the way they dress
nowadays, but you certainly don't see
as many pretty girls on the streets as
there used to be."
William looked up absently. "I used
to think that too." be said, with
dreamy condescension, "when I was
younger."
Mr. Baxter stared
"Well, I'll be darned!" he said
"When you were younger!" Mr. Bax
ter repeated, with considerable irrita
tion. "How old do you think you are?''
"I'm going on eighteen," said Wil
liam firmly. "I know plenty of cases—
—cases where"— lie paused, relaps
ing Into lethargy.
"What's the matter with him?" Mr
Baxter inquired heatedly of his wife.
William again came to life. "1 was
saying that a person's age is different
according to circumstances," he ex
plained. "You lake Genesis' father.
Well, he was married when he was
sixteen Then there was a case over
In lowa that lots of psople know about
and nobody thinks anything of. A
young man over there In Iowa that's
seventeen years old began shaving
when he was thirteen and shaved ev
ery day for four years, and now"—
He was interrupted by his father.
'And now, 1 suppose, he's got whisk
ers!" he burst forth "There's an am
bition for you! My soul!"
CHAPTER XI.
Jane's Theory,
II' was Jane who took up the tale.
She had been listening with grow
ing ■ excitement, her eyes fixed
piercingly upon William. "He's
got a beard!" she cried, alluding not
tu her brother, but to the fabled Iowan.
"I heard Willie tell ole Mr. Genesis
about it."
"it seems to He heavily on your
mind," Mr. Baxter said to William.
"I suppose you feel that in the face
of such an example your life between
the ages of thirteen and seventeen has
been virtually thrown away."
William had again relapsed, but he
roused himself feebly. "Sir?" he said.
"What is the matter with him?" Mr.
Baxter deniauded. "Half the time
lately he seems to be hibernating and
only responds by a slight twitching
when poked with a stick. The other
half of the time he either behaves like
I don't know what or talks about
children growing whiskers In Iowa.
Hasn't that girl left town yet?"
William left the table. Mrs. Baxter
looked distressed. As for Mr. Baxter,
he felt a little remorse undoubtedly,
but he was also puzzled. He referred
to bis mystification a little later as he
sat with his evening paper in the
library.

The motto of our Brotherhood is
'No Boundary Line Here." We
ioasfc of this and as far as the
workings of the Brotherhood this is
:rue , We have no boundary line.
There is, however, a boundary line,
jegoraphical and political, close
uy us. We believe in it and have
io desire to undermine It. But es
pecially in these days when the
ihortage of food la felt every

.his boundary line separates are
banning and devising means where
sy the supply of food may be used
:o the befet advantage to keep its
)eoplf supplied; when It Is an ad
mitted fact that not the nation With
;he largest supply of cannon and
shrapnel, but the nations with, the
argest and most economically used
tood supply will win the war;
when, food conservation is the
watch-word of the world and when

lary line above referred to there
ire herds of moose and caribou num
breins several thousands, but it is
it such times disheartening to
think o" the millions of pounds of
meat from these animals, pro
nounced equal to any beef, an
nually goCji to wast for want of
i market across the line and we
on this side so much iu need of It.
They have the meat. We have the
market. Rules prohibit the ex
change. Millions of pounds of
beef, ham, bacon, etc., ar eanuai
ly shipped to us in the North
from the States. W9 could be
supplied by our sister nation across
the line with our meat from the
suiimals roaming at large and now
chiefly hunted and killed for their
horns! In most cases the meat
being left by the hunter in the
woods to go to waste. Think of
that #or every pound of this
meat used by us an equal number
of pounds of meat, now shipped to
us from the Statefc would be re
leased and could be used for our
soldiers at the front.
uo yuu not iuiujv iu»i „
respective governments concrened
would be willing to make arrange
ments whereby, at least during the
continuance of the war, the rules
prohibiting the shipment of cari
bou and moose across the line
would be suspended if properly
brought before them? Do you not
think that at a time like this when
either nation is willing to aid the
other and when everything tending
to increase the food supply of the
two nations, that a petition com
ing from the different Camps of
the Brotherhood on both, sides of
the Una would be given a favorable
reply? Dp you not think that
Camp Skagway No. l, as the Moth
er Camp of the Arctic Brotherhood
should take the lead in this mat
ter? If you do so believe and
are an A. B. come along to the
meeting tonight and have your say
when this matter is before the
Camp.
Do your bit. Camp Skagway is
no place for slackens. Show youri
self tonight and act the part of a
man, bv either taking an active
part in the deliberations on the
above mentioned subject, and oth
ers coming before the camp, or
come and tell us that for reasons
sufficient to yourself (no questions
will be asked) you have decided
to mush the trail alone. In either
event you will be given, by the
man at the door a hearty clasp,
a word of cheer, and besides the
usual benediction due and so fit
ting «t such time, from the Chap
lain the Alchemist sometimes tho't
lessly called the "Camp Cook" has
been Instructed to prepare and for
you have ready, not the kind of
malamuto stew which you partook
of at your initiation, but the kind
you have so often In the past feast
ed on the banquet table of the
Camp.
The boys are looking for you.
Remember the time. The meeting
will begin promptly at 8 o'clock .
In behalf of the Camp,
