Here is the soundest advice anyone
can give on the subject oflaxatives.
It is based on medical opinion. We
want you to have the benefit of this
information no matter what laxative
you may buy:
The secret ofreal relief from consti-
potion is reduced dosage. You can’t
regulate the bowels unless you can
regulate the help you give them. Thai
is why doctors use a liquid laxative:
the dose can be measured to a drop.
Avoid laxatives that you can’t cut
down in dosage; espeeially those that
seem to require larger doses than

"In the old days I used to dread the

colds—feeling about half alive—trying to
work with my body aching and every nerve
on edge.
"Then a friend told me about McCoy’s.
Cod Liver Oil Tablets with their marvelous
vitamins A and D. I started to take them
five years ago and I haven’t had a cold
since that time.
"McCoy's tablets put new life in folks;

he found the open sea at Dixon’s
Entrance and was able to shove the
tiller into Frenchy’s unwilling
hands and go below.
He ate a mulligan Sneed had com

way ?”
- Mention of Skagway reminded
“Might buy us a feed if we round
nn this cayuse,” Speed suggested.
“See if you can turn him, Bud.”
Cutting across the runaway’s
course, Maitland skilfully matched
the frightened zigzags with which
it tried to evade the approaching
rail, till they could see its opal-
blue eye, flaming with terror. As
the boat came close a rope sang

There’s never any doubt about value when
you buy a Ford car. You know it’s all right
or Henry Ford wouldn’t put it out. One thing
that never changes is his policy of dependable
transportation at low cost.
That’s the biggest feature of the New Ford.
The reliability and economy of its V-8 engine
have been proved on the road by upwards of
1,400,000 motorists. Owner cost records show
definitely that the Ford V-8 is the most
economical Ford car ever built.
anything, was far from pious.
When the torrent subsided, Speed
grinned. He drew from his pocket
five double-eagles, and dropped
them on the table. “There’s a hun-
dred dollars belongin’ to me and my
pardner. Now what does I up and
do but gamble this yer hundred”—
he stacked the five gold pieces in a
neat column— "thot you’re takin’
us north to the camp of Skagway.
Alaska.”
But the fisherman began another
outburst in his native tongue.
• With no sign of impatience, the
gambler pulled out a short-barreled
triggerless .45 Colt, broke it open,
clicked it back and set it cn the
table.
“I don’t savvy your lingo, Fren-
a chy,” he said equably, “but this
baby comprehends ever’ knowed
dialec’ and speaks it fluent. I plays
her to copper my bet.”
The Frenchman’s eyes blazed.
Lunging sideways he reached for
the knife that was stuck in the cab
and the knife clattered to the floor.
In a curling haze of smoke the fish-
erman backed to the companion,
while Speed carefully examined;
the bore of his revolver against the
light and blew some smoke from it
“Mebby you can translate that.”
he suggested, “Reckon the salt
water ain’t spoiled her accent none.
Though torn by the struggle and
perspiring, Frenchy made a labored
refusal. “Too far,” he mumbled. “I
. lose ze feesh.”
Speed began to rake in the scat-
tered coins, leaving out three fives.
“All right,” he said pleasantly.
“There’s fifteen, if you land us near
a man .with a boat who ain’t wezk
in the head and knees both. We’ll
take some other fisherman to the
Yukon. To the golden river ”
And he hummed a song which that
phrase recalled to him.
• “Gold?” ehoed Frenchy.
. “Sticky with it.” The gambler
detached a damp cigarette paper,
and became engrossed in the deli-
cate task of rolling a smoke.
“You going there?”
“Goin’ there!” Speed had a look
of having been asked an outlandish
question? “Does the st"i live,
Frenchy, pannin’ an ounce of sense
- to the ton, who’d work out a life
term for a stake he could dig up in
a week? Not even you, if you
knowed the layout. Take this range

fog, broken lines, raw fingers and

rocks”
Frenchy nodded sadly.
Speed who had been watching
Frenchv with a speculative eye,
gave all the money before him a
sudden brusque shove to the center
of the table. “It’s yourn!” he said.
With an impulsive grab, the fish-
erman clawed it toward him.
The gambler lit his cigarette and
spoke to Maitland through a lazy
vapor of smoke.
“Unwind the verdic’. Judge. Is
-it legal?”
Maitland had been considering
the proposition as it took shape.
The chart in the cabin was sketchy,
but he had sailed broken coasts be-
fore with less to go by He liked
the feel of the boat. Anything
• seemed better than turning back.
The fisherman was being well paid.
“I can’t pay my share,” he began.

Westerner, “if you ain’t as unex-

j ter than hunger, even to Frenchy.
The cliff shadows had melted in-
to the glamour and mist of a wider
channel when they heard the faint
whine of a steamer’s siren, passing
southward by another course. It
sounded queerly, in that solitude. a
far echo of the world with which
they had lost contact.
Speed wound in his line. "How’d
you come to choose this route,
Bud?” he asked.
“It isn’t a course the steamers
would take,” Maitland answered
after a pause. I thought, if the
George E. Starr were to pass us in
the narrows, going back, someone
might get the idea you weren’t
drowned.” ,
The reflection of a wave to which
they were rising illuminated the
others face but left his eyes ob-
scured. “That’s a long way to go
for a stranger,” he said . a -
Maitland shook his head. The
word “stranger” hardly applies to
a man with whom one has been
drowned and brought alive again.
“I was thinking as we came up the
gulf,” he said, rather hesitantly,
“of how we started this trip togeth
er. It’s a fresh start for both of us,
in a way. Why couldn’t we see it
through as partners?”
Ine gambler twisted the line in
his hands. “It says a whole lot to

deep-sea shark Boats is a branch
of knowledge I’m free of, and I
don’t figure Frenchy for no oceanic
scout. So we’ll owe you for getting
us there.
, The boy pulled on his clothes and
’went out to look at the Susette. She
proved to be a strong, deep-keeled
boat with the remains of a cutter’s
rigging, and a look of having
known better tilings before Fren-
chy turned her into a smack.

That Speed had had a serious
tangle with the Law before board-
ing the ship Maitland already sus-
pected. He now saw the security
of the strange alibi lay in his own
hands. Little as the fast appealed
to him, he appreciated the other’s
confidence- that he would not be-
tray it. “I was wondering," he said
“whether the White Pass from
Skagway is a better tral ”
“It’s a horse trail. Where there’s
horses the pay is better. My special
reason for choosin’ it—” the West-
erner’s face hardened a little-—“is
that a man I’m lookin’ for is liable
to choose that route. . . . What’s
your plan in making for Dyea?"
“I thought I. might get a long-
shore job of some kind till I earned
an outfit.”
“You can do better. If you tied
in with a horse outfit on the White
Pass, they might pay for help and
throw in the grub.”
“But tools,” Maitland objected.
The gambler’s mouth twisted
humorously, as he studied a card.
“If you mean picks and shovels,
Bud? the hist'ry of perspectin'
learns us they’s mighty little sat-
isfaction in a shovel, and none at
all in a pick. You can pick them
up anywhere off the landscape.”

Through one of these channels
Maitland turned a course west of
Zarembo Island into a long sea
gorge, which proved to be easily
navigable, but slow for sailing.
