Suddenly Dudley whistled loud- ly. Dona started and looked across to where he was poking in the fire- pince,
"Live conls!" he almost shouted. "I knew that fellow was still hang- ing around these hills."
Dona sprang up and crossed to his side. Dudley snapped off the flashlight and a half dozen live coals glowed brightly. A sudden ley grip tightened at the girl's heart and she could not take her eyes from the rody embers gleam- ing in the ashes.

"THAT DEPENDS," said the seller. "If we ship VIA SEATTLE it won't take so long!"
Ship them VIA SEATTLE, then! The sooner they ar- sive, the sooner we can sell them!” And the buyer was pleased to learn of the short United States route from the Orient to American markets.
In the future, you may be assured, that buyer will specify the ronto VIA SEATTLE on his own requisitions. Likewise the shipper on his shipping Instructions.
