Jr., who is recuperating in the Char lotte Sanatorium from a recent op eration for appendicitis, is said to be much improved now. H. D. Goodman, county farm agent, is spending today in Mooresville where he has gone on business in connection with the farm work of tile county. Several firms of the eity sent mem bers of their sales force to Charlotte to assist there in the dollar day which is being pOit on by the stores of that eit.v. All the shops of Charlotte were expecting an unusual rush for the event. Pittsburgh won two games while New Y'ork was winning one game ill the National League yesterday. In the American League Philadelphia di vided a double bill with Chicago while Washington was idle. In the se ries between Spartanburg and Rich mond, the Spartans won again, mak ing three straights for them. No session of the recorder's court was held yesterday. Judge M. H. Caldwell was out of the city and as no cases of Unusual importance were docketed for trial it was decided lo continue all cases until tomorrow. Business with local officers has been quiet during the entire work, it is reported at police headquarters. There was a big drop in tempera ture during the night. Summer heat was recorded during yesterday but ! during the night the mercury dropped | to about seventy degrees in the city, to rise slowly again today. There was a decided* touch of Fall to the weather during the night, however. I and hot nights are not expected again I this year. Long lines of new Ford touring cars passed through the city Wednes day from Charlotte and headed north. Interest lied spectators watched them blit failed to count the number. It is understood from Ford officials, how ever. that the Charlotte plant is put ] ing ont 150 per day and that these i are being sent to the dealers all over the state for exhibition. Concord will be well represented at Davidson Saturday afternoon when the football season will be opened in North Carolina with a game between Davidson and Elon. The Presby terians are expected to win although Elon hopes to make a fine showing. IVliile the hot weather has been a handicap for training the Davidson team is said to be ill fair condition for the opening of the season. According to Snpt. A. L. Fisher, of the water and light department, the water in Cold Water Creek continues to flow at about the same rate that it has been flowing for the past week. Although there has been no rain up the creek since the one which fell on Monday, a week ago, there has ‘been sufficient water to keep one pump busy which ie sufficient to supply the city. A free tuberculosis clinic will be held at the county health department from September 21st to September 26th under the direction of the exten sion department of the North Caro | lina Sanatorium. Dr. Lee, of the i Sanatorium, will be Here to give the 1 examination. All persons who have J any doubt about their condition should i be examined, according to Dr. S. E. [ Buchanan. j For the third week local cotton l mills halted work at noon today ow- I ing to the water shortage in the dams j of the Southern Power Co., which fur- I nishes power to them. It is the | fourth week of the curtailed schedule I but duriug the first week work was I halted Friday at noon. While the | drought seems to be broken, the rain ' fall has not been sufficient to put a l normal flow of water in the streams which create power for the Southern power Company. | Judge Xenophon Hicks said at a l dinner in Knoxville | “We lawyer* Should use very pre- I cise English. We should never em- I ploy words that have several mean ! mgs. Such words lead to confusion i or worse. i “ ‘And so. Jim, your old aunt has | passed on,’ I said to a chap once, i ‘What was the complaint?’ “ 'No complaint,’ said Jim. ‘No complaint whatever. She left us all a little something’.” Artificial silk was invented in 1884 i by a Frenchman, Count Hilaire de Chardonnet, following an accident to , a Hagorn of collodion used for photo i graphy. On the following day the , Count found that the colodion had | solidified and formed a number of | fine threads resembling silk. . A case of twins in Mullusca is very rare but three pains of such "twins” were found on the Pacific Coast in ’ the summer of 1928.

Published by Arrangement with First National Picture*, Inc, and Fran) • Lk> vd Productions. Inc THE'STORY THUS FAR A ton of provisions and a thousand dollars! The prospect of Pierce Phil lips ever getting across Chilkoot Pass to the gold of the Yukon was indeed' dismaying. Most fellows will quit and go home, he thought. And yet Phillips is not discouraged. He is rather surprised at his outn rebound after the first shock. At Dyea, in Alaska, Phillips joins the first wave of gold seekers, having that day landed from the first boat coming north. H/ becomes'interested in the flourishing "shell-game" which “Lucky” Broad and Kid Bridgks are operating on the street. His quick eye detects the shifting of the pea from one shell to another as the vic tims are fleeced of their savings. He lobks on and says nothing. CHAPTER I. (Continued) After a time there came a lull and the dealer raised his voice to entice new patrons. Meanwhile, he paused to roll a cigarette the size of a wheat straw. While thus engaged there sounded the hoarse blast of a steamer’s whistle in the offing and he turned his head. Profiting by this instant of inattention a hand reached across the table and lifted one of the walnut-shells. There was nothing under it> (*Five bucks on this one!" A soiled bill was placed beside one of the two remaining shells, the empty one. Thus far Phillips had followed the pea unerringly, therefore he was amazed at the .new beteor’s mistake. The dealer Horned back to his lay out and winked at the bystanders, laying, “Brother, I’ll bet you ten more that you’ve made a bad bet” His offer was accepted. Simultan eously Phillips was seized with an Intense desire to beat this sharper at his own game; impulsively he laid a protecting palm over the shell be neath which he knew the little sphere to lie. “I’ll pick this one,” he heard him self say. • % “Better let me deal you a new hand,” the gambler suggested. “Nothing of the sort,” a man at Phillips' shoulder broke in. "Hang on to that# shell, kid. You’re right and I’m going down for the size of his bankroll.” The speaker was evi dently -a miner, for he • carried a bulky pack upon his shoulders. He placed a heavy palm over the back of Phillips’ hand, then extracted from the depths of his overalls a fat roll of paper money. The size of this wager, together with the determination of itsl owner, appeared briefly to nonplus the dealer. He voiced a protest, but tht miner forcibly overbore it: “. . . There’s three hundred dol lars; you cover it and you cover this boy’s bet, too.” V “Say, I eat up this shell stuff!” he declared. “It’s my meat, and I’ve trimmed every tinhorn that ever came to my town. There’s three hundred dollars; you cover it, and you cover this boy s bet, too.” The fellow winked reassuringly at Phillips. “You heard him say the sky was his limit, didn’t you? Well, let’s see how high the sky is in these parts!” There was a movement tn the crowd, whereupon the speaker cried, yamingly: “Boosters, stand back! Don’t try to give us the elbow, or TU dose up this game !’’ To Pierce he murmured, confidentially: “We’ve •got him right. Don’t let anybody *dge you out.” He put more weight upon Phillips’ hand and forced the young man closer* to the table. Pierce had no intention of sur rendering hjs place, and now the sat isfaction of triumphing over these crooks excited him. He continued to cover the walnut-shell while with lus free hand he drew his own money from his pocket. He saw that the dwner of the, game was suffering extreme discomfort at this check tnate, and he enjoyed the situation. I 1 watched you trim that fanner * few minutes ago,” Phillips’ com panion chuckled. "Now I'm going *o make you put up or shut , up. IThere’s my three hundred. I can iuse it when it grows td’six.” I “How much are you betting?” the iflealer inquired of Phillips. ! Pierce had intended merely to risk la dollar or two, but now there came fto him a thrilling thought That jnotee :U Heafy & Wilson’s store , Hashed into his mind. "One thou sand dollars and a ton of food,” the i sign had read# Well, why not bet j and bet heavy? he asked himself. Here was a chance to double his I scanty* capital at the expense of a rogue. To beat a barefaced cheater tat his own game surely could not ■ (be considered cheating; in this m atancc it wa| mere retribution. I . , e no time to analyze the jiright or the wrong of his reasoning I'— at best the question would bear { fdebate. Granting that it wasn't ex- honest, what did such nice eon |{, i*** t, o*** weigji • when balanced I'against the stern necessities of this haw? A stranger endeavored to 1 *?? v « n«m away from the table and ’ ebnehed his decision. He’d make I menr play fair. With a sweep of lus free arm, Phillips sent the fel | low staggering back and then placed 00 the table “There’s mine,” he said, shortly “One hundred and thirty-five dol lars. I don’t have to count it, foi I know it by heart.” t “Business appears to be pickint up,” murmured the proprietor of th< game. Phillips’, neighbor continued k hold the boy's hand in a viceliki grip Now he leaned forward saying: “Look here I Are you going fc Cover our coin or am I to smoki you up?" “The groans of, the gambler b. sweet music in their ears!” Tht dealer shrugged reluctantly ant counted out four hundred and thirty five dollars, which he separated inti two piles. A certain shame at his actios swept over Phillips when he felt hit companion's gram relax and heart him say, “Turn her over, kid.” This was diamond cut diamond of course; nevertheless, it was 1 low-down trick and— Pierce Phillips started, he exam ined the interior of the walnut-shel in bewilderment, for he had lifted it only to find it quite empty-. “Evety now and then I win a litth one,” the dealer intoned, gravel} pocketing his winnings. “It onh goes to show you that the hand— ’‘Damnation!’’ exploded the mat at Phillips’. side. “Trimmed foi three hundred, or Pm a goat!” As ( Pierce walkeaSaway. some on* fell into step with him i it was tht sullen, black-browed individual h* had seen at the trading-post. “So they took you for a hundred and thirty-five, eh? You must b« rolling in coin,” the man observed. Even yet Pierce was more that a little dazed. “Do you know,” said he, "I was sure 1 had the righ. shell.” “Why, of course you had the right one.” The stranger laughed shortly “They laid it up for you on purpose, then Kid Bridges worked a shift when he held your hand. You can’l beat ’em.” Pierce halted. “Was he—was that felfow with the pack a booster?" “Certainly. They’re all boosters The Kid carries enough hay on his back to feed a tfam. It’s his bed here a week and I know 'em.” The speaker stared in sur prise at Phillips, who had broken in to a hearty laugh. "Look here! A little hundred and thirty-five must be chicken feed to you. If you’ve got any more to toss away, toss it in my direction.”*’ "That’s what makes it so funny. You see, I haven’t any more. That was my last dollar. Well, it serves me right. 1 Nov/ I can start from Scratch And win on mv own speed.” The thrV-’rt-owed man studied Phillips curiously. ‘‘You're cer tainly game,"’ he announced. “1 s'pose now you'll be wanting to sel| some of your outfit. That’s why I’ve been hanging around that game. I’ve picked up quite a bit of stuff that way, but I’m still short a few things and 111 buy—" “I haven’t a pound of grub. . I came up second-class.” “Huh! Then you’ll go bach steerage.” “Oh no, I won’t! I’m going on to Dawson.” There was a momen tary silence. “You say you’ve been here a week? Put me up for the night—until I get a job. Will you?” The black-eyed man hesitated, then he grinned. “You’ve got your nerve hut—l’m blamed if I don’t like it," said he. “My brother Jim is cook ing supper now. Suppose we go over to the tent and ask him." CHAPTER II The headwaters of the Dyea River spring frym a giant's punch bowl. Three miles above timber line the valley bottom widens out into a flinty field strewn with bould er* which in ages past have lost theii footing on the steep hills forming the sides of the cup. Between these boulders a thin carpet of moss is spread, but the slopes themselves art quite naked; they are seamed and cracked and weather-beaten, thmi surfaces are split and shattered from the play of the elements. High up toward the crest of one of them rides a glacier—a pallid, weeping sentinel which stands guard for the great ice-caps beyond. Winter snows, summer fogs and rains havt washed the hillsides clean; they ark leached out and they present a life-, less, forbidding front to travelers. In many places the granite fragments which still encumber them lie piletj one above another in such titanid chaos as to discourage man’s puny efforts to climb over them. Never theless, men have done so, and by the thousands, by the tens of thou sands. On this particular morning an unending procession of human beings was straining up and ovir and through the confusion They lifted themselves by foot and by hand; where the slope was steepest they crept otc all-fours. They formed an unbroken, threadlike stream extend “K fro*" timberline to crest, each individual being dwarfed to mienj scoptc proportions by the size of his S t lrr n Un< * m ®’ s ' flowed across the floor of the valley, then slowly, very slowly, they flowed up its al most perpendicular wall. Now they were lost tot sight; again they reap peared clambering over glacier scan or toiling np steep, rocky slides; finally they emerged away up under the arch of thd sky. Looking down from the roof of tlje pass itself, the scene was doubly impressive, for. die wooded valley lay outstretched clear to the sea, and out of It came that long, wavering line of ants. Thty did, indeed, ap pear to be ant* those men. as they dragged themselves across tlie mead ow and tip the ascent; they resem bled nothing more than a file of those industrious insects creeping a "oss the bottom and up the sides riid bu°rdins y fBCt tha ‘ •“ “"I 1 We’re making it easy for ' jj J [ ' ' you to come here for the 8 y first time X kßk And h ar< * f°r you to come 8 j l here for the last!
