. ville. The jury in the case took but
, two ballots before reaching a decis
ion.
The unwritten law was the 'eon
; trolling factor in the case, for al
though insanity, and self-defense were
the announced ideas on which Brooks
j sought his freedom, relations between
. his wife and Bryson led to all the
■ trouble and this fact led to a “not
guilty" verdict.
Brooks told of finding Bryson -in
his home and his efforts to shoot him .
at the time. That testimony alone ;
would free him in any court in North
! Carolina. Whether Mrs. Brooks
wanted Bryson there is not important,
and such evidence is never, important.
The jux-y in such cases always acts
on the assumption that any impi-oper
relations is caused by the man.
Three mnwritten law cases have been
tried in North Carolina within the
past month and in each of. them the
defendant was acquitted. It is an ae- j
cepted fact by the public if not by the
law, that when a man interferes with
another man and wife he is flirting
with death. There are laws which
would punish the man who slanders
a woman, or who makes improper
proposals to a woman or who goes
further and has improper relations
with a woman, but usuady such laws
never have opportunity to function,
for the husband, father, brother or
some other relative of the woman
takes the law into his own hand and
kilts the man who makes such pro
posals or who commits such deeds. And
seldom are such slayers convicted in
our courts. The jury lias no law to
warrant acquittal but they make a
law of their own and their decision
is final.

Warned that life in Hollywood is

staying at home where they belong,
realizing there is always more talent
in Hollywood than demand.
A year ago at this time, picture
company officials reported from two

for employment. Today, less than a
hundred applicants were found at
each studio, and only a few of These
had been in Hollywood less than six

As a result, conditions Tor extras

as' in the past, they were fortunate
to be employed that many times a

The motion picture industry as a
direct result has more trained play

A glance at police records reveals

CHAPTER XVII. (Continued)
The tents were up, a big camp
fire was blazing brightly, when
fierce Phillips, burdened with a
huge armful of spruce boughs and
blinded by the illumination, stepped
too close to the river's rim and felt
the soil beneath him crumble away.
Down he plunged, amid an ava
lanche of earth and gravel; the last
round he heard before the icy wat
-1 trs received him was Laure’s af
frighted scream. An instant later
he had seized a “sweeper,” to which
he clung until help arrived. He was
wet to the skin, of course; his teeth
were chattering by the titrie he had
regained the camp-fire. Os the en
tire party, Laure alone had bo com
ment to make upon the accident.
t!he stood motionless, leaning for
support against a tent-pole, her face
hidden in her hands. Best's song
birds were noisily twittering about
Fierce; Best himself was congratu
lating the young man upon his abil
ity to swim, when Laure spoke,
sharply, imperiously:
“Somebody fintj his dry things,
quickly. And you, Morris, get your
whisky.”
While one of the men ran for
Pierce's duffle-bag, Best came hur
rying with a bottle which he prof
fered to Pierce. The latter refused
it, asserting that he was quite all
right; but Laure exclaimed:
“Drink! Take a good one, then
go into our tent and change as fast
as you can.”
“Sure!” the manager urged.
“Don’t be afraid of good liquor.
There isn’t much left. Drink it all.”
A short time later, whsn Pierce
reappeared, clad in dry garments, he
felt none the worse for his mishap,
but when he undertook to aid in the
preparations for the night he sus
pected that he had taken his em
ployer’s orders too literally, for his
brain was whirling. Soon he dis
covered that his movements were
awkward and his hands uncertain,
and when his camp-mates began to
joke he desisted with a laughing
confession that he had imbibed too
much.
Laure drew him out of hearing,
then inquired, anxiously, “Are you
all right again? ’
“Sure! I feci great.”
“I—l thought I’d die when I saw
you disappear.” She shuddered and
iiid her faceNn her hands for a sec
ond time. It was quite dark where
they stood; they were sheltered from
observation.
“Served me right,” he declared.
“Next time I’ll look where—” He
halted in amazement. “Why, Laure,
I believe you’re crying!”
She lifted her face and nodded.
She lifted her face and nodded. “I’m frightened yet.”
“I'm frightened yet.” She laid
trembling, exploratory hands upon
him, as if to reassure herself of his
safety. "Pierce! Pierce!" she ex
claimed, brokenly.
Suddenly Phillips discovered that
this girl's concern effected him
deeply, for it was genuine—it was
not in the least put on. ATI at once
the seemed very near to him. very
much a part of himself. His head
was spinning now and something
tiithin him had quickened magically.
There was a new note in his voice
when he undertook to reassure his
companion. At his first word Laure
looked up, startled; into her dark
tves, still misty with tears, there
lamed a light of wonder and of
rladness. She swayed closer; she
look the lapels of his coat between
»er gloved fingers and drew his
lead down to hers; then she kissed
|im full upon the lips. Slowly, res
ilutely, his arms encircled her.
On the following morning Laure
isked Morris Best for a bottle of
chisky. The evenings were grow
ng cold and some of the' girls
teeded a stimulant while camp was
teing pitched, she explained. The
tottle she gave to Pierce, with a re
(uest to stow it in his baggage for
iafekeeping, and that night when
hey landed, cramped and chilly, she
trevailed upon him to open it and to
|rink. The experiment worked,
.aure began to understand that
rhen Pierce Phillips’ blood flowed
rarmly, When he was artificially ex
hilarated, then he saw her with the
yes of a lover. It was not a flat
tring discovery, but the girl con
tnted herself, for by now she was
esperate enough to snatch at
traws. Thenceforth she counted
pon strong'drink as her ally.
The clpsing scenes of the great
utumn stampede to Dawson were
icturesque, for the pushing river
(as crowded with boats all racing
tith one another, ’Neath lowering
Icies, past ghostly shores seen dim
r through a tenuous curtain of sift

The concord daily tribune
of brawn, tor tney had met the
North and they had bested her. Re
straint had dropped away by now,
and they reveled in a' new-found
freedom. There was license in the
air, for Adventure was afoot and
the Unknown beckoned.
Urged on by oar and sweep, pro
pelled by favoring breezes, the Ar
gonauts pressed forward exultaitly.
At night their roaring camp-fires
winked at one another like beacon
lights along some friendly channel.
Unrolling before them was an end
less panorama of spruce and birch
and cottonwood, of high hills white
with stfow, of unexplored valleys
dark with promise. As the Yukon
increased in volume it became mud
dy, singing a low, hissing song, as
if the falling particles of snow
melted on its surface and turned to
steam.
Out <of all the traffic that flowed
past the dance-hall party, among all
the boats they ovarhauled and left
behind, Pierce Phillips nowhere rec
ognized the Countess Courteau’s
outfit. Whether she was ahead or
whether they had outdistanced her
he did not know and inquiry re
warded him with'no hint.
During this journey a significant
change gradually came over the
young man. Familiarity, a certain
intimacy with his companions,
taught him much, and in time he
forgot to look upon them as pariahs.
Best, for Instance, proved to be an
itritable but good-hearted little He
brew; he developed a genuine fond
ness for Pierce, which he took every
occasion toyshow, -.nd Pierce grew
to like him. The girls, too, opened
their hearts and made him feel their
friendship. For the mo.-t part they
were warm, impulsive creatures, and
Pierce was amazed to discover how
little they differed from the girls he
had known at home. Among their
faults he discovered unusual traits of
character; there was not a little kind
liness, generosity, and of course
much cheerfulness. They were free
■handed with what they had; they
were’ready with a smile, a word of
encouragement or of sympathy;
.they were absurdly grateful, too, for
the smallest favor or the least act
of kindness. Moreover, they be
haved themselves extremely well.
They were an education to Phil
lips; he acknowledged that he hat!
gravely misjudged them, and he be
: gan to suspect that they had taught
him something of charity.
As for Laure, he knew her very
: well by now and she knew hini*-
even better. This knowledge hat
' come- to them not without cost — 1
wisdom is never cheap—but pre-
1 cisely what each of them had paid
t or was destined to pay for their?
: better understanding of each other 1
■ they had not the slightest idea. One
thing the girl by this time had made
: sure of, viz., when Pierce was his
t natural self he felt her appeal only
; faintly. On the other hand, the
: moment he was net his natural self,
the moment his pitch was raised, he
l saw allurements in her ,and at such
; times they met on common ground.
. She made the most of this fact.
Pierce longed for some one to
. whom he could confide his feeling
; of triumph, but nowhere did he rec
: ognize a face. Finally he strolled
into one of the larger saloons and
gambling-houses, and was contcnt
: edly eyeing the scene when he felt
a gaze fixed upon him. He turned
; his head, opened his lips to speak,
. then stiffened in his tracks. He
pould not credit his senses, for
these, lounging at ease against the
bar, his face distorted into an evil
grin, stood Joe McCaskey!
, Pierce blinked; he found that his
,aw had dropped in amazement.
McCaskey enjoyed the sensation he
had created; he leered at his former
camp-mate, and in his expression
was a hint of that same venorm he
had displayed when he had run the
gauntlet at Sheep Camp after his
flogging. He broke the spell of
Pierce’s amazemeht and proved him
self to be indeed a reality by utter
ing a greeting.
Pierce was inclined to ignore the
salutation, but curiosity got the bet
ter of him and he answered: ■
"Well! This is a surprise*. Do
vou own a pair of seven-league
oqpts or—what?”
McCaskey bared his teeth further.
Ir. triumph he said: “Thought you’d
lost me, didn’t you? But I fooled
you—fooled all of you. I jumped
out to the States-and caught the last
boat for St. Michael, made connec
tions there with the last up-river
packet, and—here I am. I don’t '
quit; I’m a finisher.”
Pierce noted, the emohasis with ;
which Joe's list words were deliv
ered, but as jypt Ids ctßiosjjty was
U’nsfcttipfied. He wqndercd if the fcl- ,
low,was sufficiently, calloused to dis- .
(regard his humiliating experience or <
if he proposed in some way to con
ceal ft. Certainly he had not evaded ,
recognition, nor had he made the
slightest attempt to alter his. appear* L
ance. From his bold inaoueiance h
seemed evident that he was total:;
indifferent as to who recognized
him. Either the man r possessed
moral courage of the extremest sort
or else an’unbelievable effrontery.
As for Pierce, he was deeply rv
sentful of Joe’s false accusation—
the memory of that was ineradicable
—nevertheless, in view cf the o«t-.
come of that cowardly attempt, fee
had no desire for further revenga
It seemed to him that the fellow
had sufficiently punished for
his misdeed; in tact, he could lava
found it easy to feel sorry for bmi
had it not been for the ill-concealed
malice in Joe's present tone tad
attitude.
He was upon the point of answfl
ing Joe’s indirect threat with a
warning; when his attention was at
tracted to a short, thick-set, nerv-uf
man at his elbow. The latter had
edged close and was staring envi
ously at him. He spoke now, saying.
“So you’re Phillips, eh?”
It was Joe-who replied: "Sum
This is him.”
There was no need of an intro
duction. Pierce recognized th«
stranger as another McCaskey, iol
the family likeness was stamped up
on his features. During an awkwatd
moment the two men eyed eaci
other, and Joe McGaskey appeared
to gloat as their glances clashed.
"This is Frank,” the la'tcr ex
plained, with a malicious grin. “ll#
and Jim was pals. And, say! Here’i
another guy you ought to meet.’
He laid a hand upon still a second
stranger, a man leaning across tht
bar in conversation with a white
aproned attendant. “Count, here'l
that fellow I told you about.”
The man aldresscd turned, expos
j ing a handsome, smiling blond laci
ornamented with a well-cared-sot
| mustache. “I beg pardon?” he ex
t claimed, vacuously.
“Meet Phillips. He can give yoi
some dope on your wife.” Jo.
chuckled. Phillips flushed; then b
paled; his face hardened,.
"Ah! To be sure.” Count Cour
teau bowed, but he did not extent
; his hand. “Phillips! Yes, yes. !
remember. You will understar.i
that I‘m distracted for news c>
Hilda. She is-with you, perhaps?"
“I left her employ at Whiti
Horse. If she’-s not here, she’}
probably arrive soon.”
“Excellent; I shall surprise her.’
Pierce spoke dryly. “I’m afrai'
it won’t be so much of a surprise ai
you think. She rather expects yott.
I With a short nod and with wha
pretense of carelessness he cottlt
assume he moved on toward tit
rear off the building, whence cam
the sounds of music and the voio
of a dance-hall caller.
For some time he looked ot
blindly at the whirling figures. Jo
McCaskey here! And Count Cour
leau! What an astonishing coir,ci
• dence! And yet there was nothini
so remarkably about it; doubtles
the same ship had brought ther.
• north, in which event they could no
well have avoided a meeting. Piero
' remembered Hilda’s prophecy tha
her indigent husband would turn uj
[ *like a bad penny. His presence wa
agitating— tor that matter, so wa
t the presence of Joe McCaskey*
brother Frank, as yet an unknowt
quantity. he was an enemt
was certain; together, he and Jo
made an evil team, Pierce wa
at a loss just how to meet them.
Later, when he strolled out of th
saloon, fie saw the three men still a
the bar; t their heads were togethei
they were talking earnestly.

Rouletta Kirby was awakened h

rang out loudly. For a moment sh.
lay staring upward at the slopint
