BEGIN HERE TODAY Peter Newhall, Augusta, Ga.. flees to Alaska, after being told by Ivan Ishmin, Russian violinist, he had drowned Paul Sarichef, Ish min’s secretary, following a quarrel Ishmin and Peter’s wife, Dorothy, had urged him to flee to South America. He joins Big Chris Lar son in response to a distress signal at sea, forcing his sea jacket upon him. Their launch hits rocks. Dorothy receives word that he.* husband’s body, Identified by his sea jacket, has been buried in Alas ka. She now feels free to receive Ishmin’s attentions. But Peter has been rescued by another ship. His appearance is completely changed and he is known as Limejuice Pete. He finds his identity is completely covered and takes a job in a can nery. Larson’s body occupies his grave. A last letter sent Dorothy in Pete's effects puts him in a new light to her. She decides to carry his body back to Georgia for burial. Ishmin arranges with Peter’s boss for guide and labor. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Bradford looked up with the in stinctive respect that he had always felt for such a good workman as Limejuice Pete had proven himself to be. It had been an auspicious day for the cannery when he had hired Pete on the dock of the Dolly Bettis. Al though he was silent taciturn man to whom none of his fellow work men had ever got close, he had learned the fish game in record time and had proved a valuable ad dition to the force. “Pete, din’t you tell Mr. Le Long here that you intended to winter on the mainland?" “Yes, sir,” the blond giant an swered slowly. “I was going to take in some grub and a few traps and stick it out till the fish season begins, next spring." “Well, you’ve got a queer idea of having a good time, to say the least, j We’ll, we’ve run into a good thing for you. How would you like to act as a guide for a party of people 1 from the States—a job of two or three weeks, I should judge, in which you could fairly ask guides’ wages—ten dollars a day. It would be late September and early Octob- j pr—giving you plenty of time to get put your lines before furs are prime." "I’d like it mighty well,” he as sented. “Well, you’re the best man for! the place. Some people are coming up on the last trip of the Catherine, and we’re going to let them board the Warrior—and after’they’ve fin- 1 ished with their business on the' Bering Sea side of the mainland, 1 they’ll go on in the Warrior down to Seward. You can pack on your winter’s grub and your outfit, and they can leave you on the mainland when they go on down to Seward. As the single survivor of the Vigten you can show them approximately where they want to go.” Pete slowly straightened. His fin gers went whit to the tips. “What has the Vigten to do with it?” he Office Hours—9-12 A. M., Other Hours and Sundays 2-5 P. M. by Appointment DR. C. D.

They are going out to exhume the body of that Remittance Man who - went down with the Jupiter and was buried on the shore—Peter Newhall was his name. Mrs. Newhall and a couple of other people are in the party.” He thought it an illusion that the tall man in the doorway should seem suddenly pale and stricken, as if in the presence of a ghost. And it was true; the dead had risen for Limejuice Pete. CHAPTER VI Dorothy Meets Pete Even as he wondered at the maze into which fate was leading him Pete was swept with exultation. It was not that his dreams over leaped themeslves that he was lift . ed up by false hopes. He knew ex actly where he stood, his exact limi tations. He knew, first of all, that Dorothy must never know his iden tity. She must never be permitted ’ to receive.the faintest hint of the truth: shat the embalmed body in ; the casket was not that of her hus j band. Her eternal happiness de fended upon that; and her happi l ness, hers alone —now that full '.vision had come to him—was the one theme of his life. I Indeed, after that counterfeit of I himself in the casket had been un | earthed and Dorothy had sailed away, his own fate would not grear ly matter. He would vanish intp the interior with his traps and perhaps i the bitter winter would destroy him; but at least he would have ful i filled his last dream—the only thing that he had ever dared to dream, since his flight from home three years before—and he would bear no ill will. The dark curtains of oblivion could drop over him for all he would care. It moved him deeply that his wife should make the long perilous jour ney in his memory, leaving the i warmth, the light and gaiety that she loved simply to do honor to her BRIGHT and Park Sport Hats, just the thing for mid-summer vaca ! tions, 25 per cent off.

She bought sturdy outing clothes, a heavy sleeping robe in case the search for the grave kept her over night on the mainland, and only the journey’s grim objective pre vented a certain spirit of adventure. Bradford’s telegram, however urged haste; and as soon as reservations could be procured, she, Ivan, and her uncle; a gray, kindly, successful business man of Savannah, depart ed on the west-bound train. At Bel lingham the party boarded the Cath erine D, the large freight and pas senger steamer that was used in the fish trade. She had expected some sort of a disreputable, old tramp steamer that was to be endured from ne cessity; and she was hardly pre pared for lhe long, spick-and-span deck of the Catherine L. Captain Knight let her occupy what he proud ly called the bridal suite; a beauti ful stateroom on the upper deck, equipped with bathroom, a great settee, and every possible device for her comfort. She had always* been a good sailor, and the ten-day cruise to Squaw Harbor possessed real pleas ure for her. In the first place it was a complete rest for her tired nerves. She slept long in the morn ing, ate simple, well-cooked food at regular hours walked the deck with Ivan or with the friendly ship cap tain, and spent the day at her ease on the long deck. Sometimes Dorothy thought that he was struggling with something akin to actual fear. He seenieu troubled, rather nervous; and it was not like this brave man to be ap palled by the natural perils of the journey. The morning of the eleventh day she wakened to find herself in Squaw Harbor, the first lap of the journey done. After breakfast, she went ashore with Ivan to make final plans for the launch trip to tne north coast of the mainland. She was immensely pleased with Bradford’s arrangements. The Warrior would carry her straight to the scene of the wreck, he said; then the boat would lie at anchor outside until a dory could be put ashore and the casket unearthed and brought aboard. This accom plished, she and her party would be transported to Seward, whence they could catch the Admiral Watson back to Seattle. “I’ve got you three good men for your labor,” he told her—with that kindness and courtesy toward strangers that is the tradition of the North. “Your head guide is Pete— he was wrecked on the Vigten and knows approximately where the Jupiter broke up. Then you have Fortune Joe and Nick Pavlof for general labor—packers, we call them—both as good men as I could find.” “I’m sure they will be satisfac tory,” Dorothy commented. “And what, odd names your Alaskans have.” “There are some queerer ones than that, if you just give me time to think of them. Fortune Joe is a native medicine man, and laugh it you like, the things he can do are not easily explained away. Os course, it is some kind of psychic power, but don’t ask me what. Nick Pavlof, however, is an Indian of another skin. “He’ll interest you, Mrs. New hall. He calls himself a priest, and the truth is that he has some sort of a vague, hereditary claim on the ■office. You see at one time this was Russian territory, and the en tire native population were mem bers of the Greek Church. This Pavlof is part Russian—he is the grandson, in fact, of a more or less discredited Russian priest, but the rest of his blood is native. How ever, the natives accept him, kotow to him; he officiates at funerals and has some sort of a vested right to marry people. “Pete will be with you until you have the casket safe on board; then he intends to leave the party, take his grub and his traps, and go into the interior for the winter.

Though he had thought of little else for weeks he was not quite prepared for the first sight of the slender girl framed by the window and the sea. Here she stood, the same woman he had left, the same witchery in her eyes and her smile He could no longer remember that he was Limejuice Pete. He had come in awkwardly fumbling his hat; but now he was staring, un able to speak, risking instant ex posure by the white flame in his face. Yet there was no glim * of recognition in Dorothy’s manner. She smiled as always to the lowly, looked with keen interest into his bearded face, then stretch ed her hand. Pete bowed awkwardly, the took the. proffered hand; and its touch sent a violent electric shock through out the intricate system of his nerves. He dropped her hand instantly, then turned to face Ivan. The lat ter bowed courteously enough, but did not extend his hand. And Dorothy, who had watched with deep interest, felt a dim, queer, inexplicable stir of resent ment. # CHAPTER VII At the Grave The Warrior was loaded, not only with supplies for the journey but also with Pete’s winter outfit, and the entire party put to sea.
