CllHG 0HGefeu the OfluS0 al
Isabel was leavingit. She drove
out to one side of the road and
waited for him to come up to her.
I'll let you 60 ahead of me now
if you want to, she called as he
stopped.
Look here, Clint called back,
did you think Of those horses
stopping at the bridge that way,
I'd like to know?
Yes; didn't you? l knew they
might not, but I thought they
would if could keep them in the
road. Didn't you think of their
doing it?
Well, no. had something else
to think about, he answered, look
ing at her admiringly.
Isabel's face flushed, but she
looked at him smiling.
1 wasn't afraid as long as the
road was clear, but I should have
lost all courage if there had been
a team coming.
Talk of pluck! Clint said, driv-
ing nearer to her. Isabel, what
did you think of last night? What
did you think of me, anyway?
She drove out into the road
ahead of him, and then looked
back over her shoulder, laugh
ing. I thought, if you had. only
waited half an hour longer /
would have been 18. IT is my
birthday to-day. I'm Of age.
And with that she touched her
ponies with the whip and was
well ahead of him all the way to
the village.
When they met again it was
before the fire in the sitting room,
where they had held the hours
the night before. But the cor.
test with the Judge had lost it's
seriousness.
Between them he sat, imper-
jurable, as he had sat the night
before; but tonight he was only
IN amusing barrier and not a SER
Gus obstruction. Love had leap
ID the bounds and was free. AID
t triumphed in their eyes as they
ooked across him and over him,
at each other.
We're going TO have a dance
'ver at our house Saturday week
md an oyster supper, as it is
,oing to be a celebration of a great
went in our family, Clint an
lounced with a meaning gesture
o Isabel.
What's the event you're cele-
rating? the Judge asked.
Well, that's something of a Sc
ret until tomorrow. Perhaps
can tell you then. You must
'e sure and come We're going
0 have a great time.
The judge looked at Isabel.
10 you think We can go my dear?
Her cheeks were rosy. Why,
es; I should think we could
ather.
Thank you, then: we'll come,
he Judge said. And now will
ou play that game of chess we
idn't have last night?
1t was evident he had no inten-
ion of giving up the field. Clint
id not answer. He was not as
earless of the judge as he had
His heart throbbed
xcitedly.
The girl pressed her hands to-
ether hard, and gazed into the
re.
Finally the judge brought his
yes from the ceiling and turned
} the young man.
Didn't you hear what was said
you? he asked, grasping the
I'm of his chair.
Yes, sir, said Clint, respect
lily.
Well, then?
But if you'll allow me to say it,
think the games won already,
Y me.
What's that?
I've won the game, sir.
The Judge glared at him for {
oment, and then his eyes fell . .
| his daughter. s
Helooked from one to the other.
Well, my boy, he said, drawing a
deep breath - the tears had
arted to his eyes well, perhaps =

The Grand Jury.

The full report of the grand jury was as follows:
 To the United States court for the district of Alaska:
 The grand jury for the April, 1903, term at Skagway, beg to report to the court that they have finished all busi- ness before them, and have examined into all matters mentioned in the charge of the court and acted thereon.
 This grand jury would most respect fully recommend that misdemeanors hereafter be brought to the attention and action of the various commission CTS of the district of Alaska, so that this court and subsequent grand juries may be relieved from the burden and expense of Investigating petty cases in the nature of police otfenses.
 We have examined the different of fees and jail connected with the court house and find them in excellent con- dition, but we also found that the heat ing apparatus and ventilation of the court house are very imperfect, it being impossible to keep all of the different offices of the court house comfortably warm during cold weather, and proper ly ventilated.
 We have also visited the public school, and find the sanitation of the sa ame in most excellent condition.
 In closing, this grand jury desires to thank the judge of this court for his attention, courtesy, kindness and vall- able aid, and also to thank the United States attorney, marshal, clerk of the' court and their respective assistants and other officers of the court, for their very diligent and efficient services and attention.
 Respectfully submitted by the jury
