Dudley began poking around the floor and walls. Donn crossed to the stone bunk and sat down. For a little while her oyes followed the circlo of light from the flashlight.. Then she gave herself up to a queer feeling of desolation. The place seemed to breathe the presence of Ston Ball. Dann wished she had not come. All the old longing with its wild and gusty flurries of emo- tion ravelled up in her heart.

Dudley was examining the ground curefully, le straightened sud- denly and called to her. "Here is where Swergin stood when he got the drop on Ball."

"Right there." Donn agreed ab- sently.

"His hobnails' cut right into the floor of the cave." Dudley went on.

Suddenly Dudley whistled loud- Dona started and looked across to where he was poking, in the fire- place.

"Live coals!" he almost shouted: "I knew that fellow was still hang- ing around these hills."

Dona sprang up and crossed to his side. Dudley Happed off the flashlight and n half dozen live conls glowed brightly. A sudden ley grip tightened at the girl's heart and she could not take her eyes from the rudy embers gleam- ing in the ashes.

~~said the Nuyer

"THAT DEPENDS," said the seller. "If we ship VIA SEATTLE it won't take so long!"

"Ship them VIA SEATTLE, then! The sooner they sr- sive, the sooner we can sell them!" And the buyer was pleased to learn of the short United States route from the Oriont to American markets.

In the future, you may be assured, that buyer will specify the route VIA SEATTLE on his own requisitions. Likewise the shipper on his shipping instructions. And the story quoted above is repeated several hundred times each year, with the natural result of increased tonnaga for the modern Port of Seattle.
