Summer Shower

HOPE MARBRICK felt something
of a fool as she settled down at
the quiet and comfortable farm of Mr.
and Mrs. Twlckham. It was located
In a region for the most part taken tip
with big estates.
Hope hadn’t felt so foolish at first.
She had gone to pieces after her break
with Bob Johnson. Perhnps the old
family doctor sensed the real situation.
He had known both Hope and Bob
since their childhood.
“You’re worn out, Hope,” he had
told her.
“Yes—I’m worn out," she answered.
“I’ve been going to too many parties
and things."
"Too many parties—yes. You need
a rest. I know just the place for you.
It’s on a farm up In the Berkshlres.
The Twickliams are old friends of
mine."
That was the way Hope found her
self settled In a real farmhouse.
A week after her arrival she start
ed out one sultry, overcast afternoon—
thinking motoring would be less breath
less than sitting on the shady porch
or under the old, gnarled apple trees
by the side of the house. She hadn't
gone far when a sharp thunderstorm
broke and she turned for refuge Into
the driveway of a small cottage on the
edge of a village. It wasn't a preten
tious place at all—a little white Con
onial house done over Just enough to
make It charming. As Hope ran back
to the house from the garage where
she had parked her car—she noticed
that It was a two-cnr garage, so she
didn’t mind monopolizing half of It—
she thought of the trees only as a
menace. She was frankly afraid of
thunder and lightning.
Slie let the big knocker drop, send
ing its loud summons through the little
house. Nobody answered It, though
she sounded it again and ngaln. Then.
In a lull for a moment, she ran round
to the back of the house, tried the
hack door, and slammed It shut behind
her ns it gave to her push.
The kitchen was In almost dead
darkness. Outside the black clouds
seemed to settle closer and closer
down over the roof. The roar of thun
der and wind, the sighing and gnash
ing of trees, were deafening. A sear
ing flash of lightning came, and Its
brightness was worse than the dark
ness before.
It was a cosy kitchen In which she
found herself—bright with red and
white gingham curtains, clean with
blue nnd gray paint. A box of gro
ceries was on the table, a kettle
hummed softly on the coal stove.
Thoughts of tea and toast came into
Hope's mind. It was one thing to take
refuge from a terrible storm In some
body’s kitchen; it was another to make
a feast of tea nnd toast nnd the jar
of marmalade you saw sticking from
somebody's grocery order.
A resounding knock echoed through
the house, but it was so mixed up
with thunder that for a moment Hope
wasn't sure what It meant. But It
sounded a second time and a third, and
at last she realized that somebody was
pounding on the front door knocker.
Groping through the strnnge dark din
ing room and living room and hall, she
finally found the door. She couldn’t
see clearly, and bungled with the
opening.
“The knob sticks, Mrs. Tracy," came
a cheerful voice through the door—and
Hope's heart stood still. It was Boh.
“Give It an extra twist to the right
and It’ll come open.”
Hope twisted it smartly to the right,
and almost fell backward Into the dim
hall as the door came open In her
hand.
“That's fine, Mrs. Tracy. I'm Mr.
Johnson—Bob Johnson. I saw the
light in the kitchen so I knew you
were here. I left the back door open
for you—had to run down to the post
office, and got caught in this storm.
Awfully good of you to promise to
look after me. You see—I’ve been a
little tired out, and my old doctor rec
ommended this village and this house
as a good place to rest up, and his wife
remembered that you sometimes helped
out the summer people. So I wrote
you. and here you are. I wonder If I
could have some ten and toast—and
tnavbe some marmalade? f ordered
NEW PROCESS MAY SAVE
MILLIONS IN GOLD
Millions of dollars in gold
hav been thrown back into
rivers and creeks, or on tailing
dumps, because of inability to
extract fine gold that, coated
with rust, oxidization, mineral
or vegetable oils, has resisted
the ordinary processes of amal
gamation with mercury. This
is the claim of Fred W. Aston,
who, in conjunction with Van
couver interests, has patented
an electrolytic system of gold
extraction which, according to
independent expert analysis,
lures 99.8 per cent of gold from
black sand and also extracts a
high percentage from arsenic
afores.
A plant has been installed at
Lytton, B. C., which is being
visited by scores of miners, the
majority of them exceedingly
skeptical until samples from
which they have presumably
extracted all the gold yield
rich returns through this pro
cess, which is inexpensive and
rapid.
iiviuo lu LuiijuiiV/tiuu wuil IV
tary movements, based on pre
cise mathematical calculations,
forming- electrolytic contact,
comprise the system used.
One miner, after insisting
that his tailings could yield
nothing more, reluctantly per
mitted 500 pounds of his dis-j
carded magnetite to be treated,
and was astonished to see $120
worth of gold emerge from the
retort after his “hungry”
sample was run through.
WASTEFUL FOREST FIRES
In spite c.f all precautions,
last year was one of the most
disastrous in history in forest
fire losses. Nearly 6,000 sep
arate fires occurred in national
forests alone, destroying tim
ber worth many millions of dol
lars, covering an area of more
than 840,00 acres.
No estimate of the losses in
state and private forests are
things nt the grocery, ana they're on
the table.”
Hope shrank back Into the darkness, '
found the door into the back entry,
and faded away into the shadows.
Once more In the bright kitchen, she
set quickly about making tea—and
toast. She spread the pretty china she
found in the cupboards on a table un
der the window, and as she browned
1 lie bread over the coals her cheeks
flushed with heat and excitement. Per
haps—it hadn't been such a serious
quarrel between Hob and her. They
were both too stubborn, that was the
trouble. Ilut nothing that a little ex
plaining wouldn't cure— Perhaps—
The dour opened, and Bob came
blinking into the kitchen. He had ob
viously changed his wet things for
house slippers and a dressing gown.
He looked boyish and young, as he
stood there—tired, too, and a little
pale and worn. He looked first nt the
tea table set for two—and then he saw
Hope.
Half an hour later Mrs. Tracy found
them, with all the windows closed, the
shades down and the lights on. though
the summer shower had passed and a
brilliant late afternoon sunshine bathed
a glistening world. Ten and toast and
marmalade—and something else—had
ended the shower for them.
available, but they reach an
enormous total. When it is
considered that a large per
centage of the trees burned
were around 100 years old, the
lasting damage to an import
ant resource can be better ap
preciated.
The problem .of reducing
these losses is a most difficult
one. Much money has been
spent in providing forest rang
ers, lookout stations, airplane
patrols and other means for
detecting and extinguishing in
cipient fires, but under condit
ions of extreme drought, such
as obtained last year, these
seem unavailing.
Nearly all these losses are
caused by the carelessness of
tourists and others, who fail to
exercise caution in the dispo
sition of burning matches, cig
ar and cigarette butts, and in
putting out camp fires before
leaving them. Most fires in
forests and elsewhere are
caused by indifference and
negligence, which seems im
possible to overcome.
ALASKA NOTES
Steve Yukovich of Juneau
recntly landed a 52-pound
king salmon with a light rod
and tackle. The big fish was
landed only after a battle last
ing an hour and a half.
Mrs. George Marshal of Nome
died recently in that city after
an illness of several m'onths.
The gold mining industry in
the Ketchikan district is dis
tinctly reviving and there i3
more activity in the search for
new deposits than in several,
years, according to D. B. Stew
art, Territorial mine inspector.
To hasten the melting of the
snow on the roadway from
Nome to Little Creek, the Ham
mon Consolidated Goldfields
sprayed crude oil on the snow
last spring.
A maximum temperature of
88 degrees was registered in
Fairbanks in the afternoon of
July 28. The next day, with
a cooling breeze tempering the
sun’s rays, the temperature
rose to 84 degrees.
Dwight A. Chase, of Ketchi
