1t was white night. Snow had fallen all
day, had ceased but an hour or so previous,
and now the sky was swept clear of clouds,
the moon hung in the pure blue-a sphere
Of radiant pearl.
To Nance the moments held shadowy
ecstasy shot with pain. A sense of unre-
atty seized her. 1t was more than mar
velous that she should be walking by the
side of the man she loved in the bright, en-
wrapping calm.
Her steps grew lighter, her touch insen-
sibly deepened on Mark IS arm, the MINDLESS
frost stung her cheek to clear, faint rosi-
ness. What words were those he spoke'

Goodby? The gayety fed, affrighted by
that word. She could not answer. 1t was

II want to know something more about
you," the earnest voice continued.
"Why should you care at alp" she dared
to say
The words that followed were irresistibly
tender, but Nance listened in vain for some
thing in them to echo the riot of feeling in
her own heart:

CHAPTER l.
Il was Christmas eve, and Nance was the
last one of the chorus in the dressing room.
The raw light from the unshaded gas Jet
6ickered upon the bare, white walls and on
her as she stood thoughtfully dropping the
rouge, hare's foot and powder into the
email black bag.
On the peg behind her hung the blue and
silver robe which, with asalaried smile, she
wore nightly in "The Mikado." 1t had a
patient, lackadaisical expression, as if, like
q sentient thing, it felt certain degrade
ton in being strung up by the neck when
NOT wanted Nance's dulled, dark circled
eyes rested wistfully on it. She would
never wear it again. To leave it was like
saying goodby to part of herself, but
the engagement ended tonight, and the
robe was the property OF the management.
Taking some of the soft, silky stuff in
her small hands, she laid her cold cheek
against It. and a mist rose over her burn
ing eyes. The black butterflies and the
strange, long throated birds on it were her
only confdants.

said, breathless catch making the words
tremulous.

bits of scenery in a corner.
"Hello, Thirteen" he said, by way OF
greeting. pausing between bites of huge
sandwich.
"What are you waiting for. Sammy"
asked Nance.

words made her pause.
"You knew that Torrance was done with

A stain crept up her pale young cheek.

Sammy spread his grimy hands out
"Wasn't it enough fer to be given voice

of the past. But they paused a long wb,le

The Christmas BOX.

The origin of the term Christmas box"
as applied to donationso of Christmas spend
ing money is uncertain, though antigua
rians generally seem to think that it was
derived from the custom of placing money
for masses to be said or sung on Christmas
day-therefore Christ masses''-in box,
which from this use was called Christ
mass box, term gradually corrupted to
Christmas box and finally applied to all
money given as Christmas gratuity.

Tho YuIe sheaf.

Christmas is observed with great enthusi
asm in the snowy northland Of Sweden.
The celebration proper extends over four
days, beginning on the oath of the month.
A beautiful custom is that of raising a
large sbeaf of grain on the top Of pole
above the house for the wild birds to feast
upon It Is said that no peasant will sit
down to his Christmas dinner until the
yule sheaf is lifted in place for the birds in
the snow outside.

Although we celebrate Dec. Is AZ Christ
mas, it is not precisely known on what day
Christ was born. The Greek church asserts
that it occurred on the night of Jan. 8. and
they celebrate Jan. 0 as the day. How
ever, It Is the momentous event that we
celebrate, and that may be done a. well ON

The Egypt of Today.

Imagine people the most docils and
good tempered in the world in the grip Of
q religion the most intolerant and fanat-
ica1. Imagine this people and this faith,
congenial in nothing but their conserva-
tism, flung into the maelstrom of Eu-
ropean restlessness and innovation. I'M
agine country full of turbulent foreign
ers, whom its police cannot arrest ex-
cept flagrante delicto, whom its courts
cannot try except for the most insignifi-
can't ofenses.
Imagine the government OF this coun-
try unable to legislate for these foreign
ers without the consent of a dozen dis
tant powers, most of them Indifferent
and some i'll disposed. Imagine it car
rying on its principal business in for
eign tongue which yet is not the tongue
of the predominant foreign race. Imag-
inc it struggling to meet the clamorous
growing needs of today with a budget
vigorously fixed according to the mini
mum requirements of the day before
yesterday.
Imagine the DEGREES of this govern
ment liable to be set at naught by courts
of its own creation. Imagine its policy
really inspired and directed by the en-
voy of a foreign state, who in theory is
only one-and not even the doyen-of
a large number of such ENJOYS and the
chief administrative power welded by
e man who in theory is a mere "adviser
without executive functions" Yes,

that they are no ''Mikado" like inven-

ordered brain, but prosaic, solid fact

In THE COUNCILS.
NORDHOFF REFUSES TO
APPEAR.
The Matter Considered in Special
Session and Referred.
TUESDAY, May %.

TUESDAY, May 70.
The councils were convened at IL
o'clock AN.
There were present President Dole,
EIce-President Damon, Ministers
King and Porter, and Councilmen
Hatch, Emmeluth, Allen, Water
house, McChesney, Brown, Tenney,
Young. Suhr, Mott, Morgan, Wilder
and Bolte.
The minutes of the previous meet
ing were read and adopted, after
which that portion of the minutes of
| the executive session relating to the
| citation of Mr.. Charles Nordhoff was
read. AT the order of President Dole,
Secretary Rogers called Nordhoff's
name aloud three times, with no re-
Spouse. The charge upon which he was
cited consisted of all that portion of
| his letter to the New York Herald,
republished in the Bulletin, which
falsely alleged that members of the
councils and government had signed
petitions favorable to the notorious
lottery bill, gotten up in the interests
of the ex-queen and the palace re-
tanners.
A motion to consider the matter in
special session was withdrawn and
| Councillor Hatch arose to introduce
resolution, when he was interrupted
by the president.
President Dole said he thought Mr..
Nordhoff had absented himself on the
advice of Minister Blount, who had
called at the foreign office the previ-
Gus afternoon and stated that the
United States government had estab-
lished presidents covering cases where
alleged libelous publications had been
made by Americans residing in for
eign countries. lie stated Minister
Blount had unofficially called his at
tention to the case of editor Cutting
in Mexico, where that gentleman had
been imprisoned, but afterward re-
leased on the demand of the United
States. 1t was Mr.. Blount's opinion
that the precedent cited would cover
any case where criminality attached
and that, therefore, if the govern
ment intended To proceed criminatly
against Mr.. Nordhof he would feel it
was his duty to interfere. In cOnclu-
sion President Dole said that while he
considered Nordhoff's case small
thing by itself it would be we'll for the
councils TO investigate the legal
phases thoroughly before proceeding
Vice President Damon asked If
Minister Blount had given the Pro-
visional government official notice to
the effect stated.
President Dole said the minister had
not given official notice, rs it was not
| deemed necessary to go into any cor
| respondence regarding the matter,
but Mr.. Blount had stated that it was
his opinion the Provisional govern
ment did not have jurisdiction to pro-
ceed criminally against an American
citizen in such a case.
Mr.. Young said that under the
circumstances the councils had better
consider the matter in special session,
as its Importance required discussion
before it was decided what course
should be pursued.
At 11:20 A. NJ. the councils went
into executive session.
After thorough discussion of the
question it was decided to refer it to
committee to inquire into the legal
bearings of the points raised by Min
lister Biount and TO decide what fur
Their action, if any, would be taken.

There seems to be a growing
desire on the part of a major
ity of the people on these
islands to buy goods from us,
and our desire to sell them
grows also. Last week, we
had to employ extra men to
assist us in handling an I'M
usually large volume of bust
ness; the Australia Amy
Turner and IS. n. Castle"
having arrived during the week
with enough goods for us to
stock any ordinary store. Peo-
pie who have entertained the
idea that business" has been
out in the mountains gathering
Ohelo berries during the past
few months will discover their
mistake if they will come into
our store any day; we have
been ''hard at it, all the time.
On the Castle" we had a
new lot of Fischer Steel
Ranges of a much superior
quality than any we have had
before; the steel is of double
thickness, and all parts are
finished in the best manner.
1t is acknowledged by cooks to
be the best range made, on ac-
count of their quick heating,
economy of fuel and superior
baking qualities. We sold
twelve of them between We'd
nesday and Saturday last; we
will sell double the number
during the present week.
The demand for the Hendry
Breaker does not diminish;
every few day we get orders
from managers of plantations
who want to simplify their
work and get the largest
service with the least supply
of mule force. 1t is pretty gene
rally understood now a days
that the Hendry Breaker is the
only pillow that fills the re-
quirements. Where six and
eight mules were formerly
used in blowing four and six
now do the work and gambol
over the green sward at the
end of the day like delegates
to a democratic convention.
As humanitarians we are pleas
ed to think we have done
something that brings Joy to
the heart of a mule.
We can fill orders at all
times for II, IA or 16 inch
breakers.

had been at work, and only the mar.

the guests from the enormous mass
of water around and above thelr

was splendidly decorated and lighted,
