ment on the little gem-bonnet, and
1 shall go in and buy it!-for I'm
certain you'll like it."
They had not walked through the
streets together for a good while
not even to church. Horatio Whit
ney was keenly sensitive to the fact
that his overcoat and hat were shah
by. He did not care to remember
how long it was since he had bought
new ones, and he did not want
Martha to remember. So he stayed
at home quietly, and grew little
grayer and little older every day.
So he had stayed at home Sunday
after Sunday. He was always tired;
it was a good enough excuse. Martha
gave up urging him after awhile.
The next morning Martha walked
downtown with Horatio, through
Jermyn street. 1t was beautiful
day.
Down the street little way prog
ress was temporarily blocked, and
Horatio and Martha came to a stand
still. A heavy dray was being backed
across the sidewalk.
They were abreast of a splendid
plate-glass show-window, and Martha
turned to it for entertainment. What
woman was ever at loss for amuse-
ment with a show-window at her ell
bow? But this one-Martha turned
away little disgusted. 1t was only
mems furnishing store.
The drayman took his time.
Martha was driven back to the win
dow in self-defense, and it was this
time that she saw the coat that re-
minded her. A little thrill ran over
her, for it was the exact shade-the
soft, deep gray-of that other coat.
1t was not distinguishably different,
either, in style-queer that Is years
should make so little change!
Martha glanced at Horatio's SHABBY
overcoat. The pitiless sun gave it no
quarter. She saw all its fadedness
and meanness, and the listless, de-
jected sag of it. 1t gave her start
of surprise that she had not noticed
it before. She scarcely ever noticed
Horatio's clothes. They were always
whole-Horatio had always been
"easy" on his things. There was
rarely anything to mend.
But nows-the contrast between the
spruce, new coats in the window and
Horatio's coati Between tho sleek
hats set jauntily on the staring
painted heads of the window-dum-
mics and the faded, worn one plant
ed squarely on Horatio's gray hair!
Martha's heart misgave her at the
contrast. She did not want to look,
but looked on steadily.
Horatio was looking at the dray-
man. His bent shabby shoulders
were "back to" the great window.
Horatio never looked in show win
dows.
"When you get through looking at
the styles, my dear, well 60 on.
That's fellows taken his time, but
he's out o. the way now"
1t was Horatio's voice in her ear
and Martha started with an odd
sense of confusion and guilt. She
went on down the street trying to
joke herself at ease again, but her
thoughts ran on persistently in a per-
turbed undercurrent. The gray over
coat that had reminded her-she
could not get IL out of her sight.
Gray had been so becoming to Hora-
ito IS years ago-Martha had chosen
that color herself for his wedding
overcoat." And shc had had apple
buds in her wedding bonnet because
pink and gray were so beautiful to-
gether.
Martha reused herself at madame's.
There she cried, "thst little beauty

sewing and set swift, perturbed
stitches in the soft white stuff.
Horatio was conscious that she
looked even prettier with that red
tinge in her cheeks. On the instant
be put aside anxious thoughts of un-
paid bills and bills to come. Martha

"Oh, but, Martha, they were old.
I'm not old" Horatio Whitney's care
worn face was eager and wistful. 1t
seemed to be struggling to put on its
rightful mask of youth-a man at

conscious that it no longer fitted.

"When I'm old, won't ask you for
my Easter money. / suppose you
know Sunday after next is Easter,
Horatio?"
"Easter-Sunday after next? Are
you sure, Martha?' He sighed again
unconsciously. There was SO little
"Easter money" for Martha this
year. Horatio Whitney had been
married Is years; there had been Is
Casters. There had always been
"Easter money"
II went down town prospecting to-
day. II I'd had the money, i should
have taken up a claim-in Easter tx
ings,' she laughed pleasantly. Her
own face was increased and comely.
Horatio looked at it round the edge
of his newspaper and experienced his
odd feeling Of pride in Martha. He
was thinking that Martha was young
enough. Martha was As, too.
"How much will you need, dear?"
The dear" went with the little thrill
of admiration.
"Mercy, Horatio, as IL you didn't
know how much it always takes!
Easter bonnets don't vary much from
one year to another. The market is
always 'firm!' You've always given
me $50; that includes gloves and
what-nots, of course"
"Would-er-fifteen do, do you
think?" hesitatingly. The difference
between $50 and SIS took on prepos-
ferrous value tonight. Horatio Whit
ney was little more tired than
usual. The care lines were deeper in
his plain face.
Mrs. Whitney dropped her work
into her lap and peered round the
drop-lamp at her husband. Horatio
might be growing old and deaf, but
she did not like to think he was grow
ing stingy. Fifteen?-wby. she had
always had to stretch the $50!
"You need not give me any, Ho-
ratio" she said, stiffly. "Ill stay at

The hall was in good condi- tion, Che music furnished by' Messrs. Callarman, Blanchard and Patrick, was excellent, and the crowd was just right. Then every number on the musical program was well rendered and enthus iastically applauded.

CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT.

There is no doubt but that the mer- chants of Skagway have just cause Of complaint against Che Pacific Coast Steamship Company, which, for the purpose Of securing a little extra busi- ness, delayed the City ot Seattle for 5t hours longer than was necessary. When a transportation company pub fishes a schedule it is morally bound Co operate as nearly on the time as adyer- tised as possible. That much Is obvi- ous.

No Longer Danger of Lack
 of Fuel

Shaw X Johnson received loo tons of the celebrated double-screened Well lngton coal from Ladysmith yesterday on the freighter Venture. Mir. Shaw states that before that shall have been consumed more will be received. This company will receive, in the near h- ture, large consignment Of the Well lington washnut coal. This is used particularly for ranges, and is made by being washed down and Siited through screens that leave the coal about the size of walnuts. 10 is clean and it IS claimed for it that it will hold an even fire longer, and is thus more desirable for cooking purposes.

COAL COMES FOR TRIAL
Two Deserters Brought
 From Egbert

Two dcserters from the United States army were brought out from Fort Egg bert to be tried at Skagway, arriving here last night. The guard consisted of four soldiers on their way to Fort Lawton to be discharged. They went south on the City of Seattle.
 The deserters were brought to Skag- way for trial because there are not sui- fcent officers at Fort Egbert, near Eagle, to constitute a court martial. A court martial has already been or ganized at Skagway. lt is believed the men will plead guilty to desertion, as they had come in and given them- selves up.

It was evident cha. che ua. ..onal legis- lator, intended Co hold the judge re- ,ron,ible for che saloon license. The amount in each settlement is trst de- termiued by the judge. Those apply iug for licenses mus, satisfy the judge as Co their good intentions, Under the code DO gambling is allowed in any bar room. Bawdy houses cannot secure a liouor license. and therefore have no right co sell liquor iu competition with .he licensed saloon. Unfairly the city of Skagway asks che district officials Co assume the responsibility of au open town when it Is contrary co their oath of office. Juneau Dispatch.
 Who told the Juneau Dispatch what the people of Skagway claim:
 The people of Skagway have never claimed that che question ot gambling and the social evil were not matter, over which the code gives the federal court, jurisdiction. Skagwayars do. not have Co be taught their A BCs.
 Thi, |, the second time che Dispatch has attacked citizen, oi this town re- gently. and in both instance, it has dis played absolute ignorance a, Co the sit- nation. Once che city council was a,- tackled, and its members referred to as grahers. The article was libelous, and had the member, ot the council thought the game worth the powder, they nigh, have had Che editor of the Dispatch fighting for hi, liberty iu thc district court. The greatest fault with the Dispatch is habit Of discussing matters Of which it knows nothing.
 The law in Alaska is uo, unlike that mother sections of che United States which gives both municipalities and the states jurisdiction over mi,demean- ors. That Is known here as well as it is in the office Of the Dispatch. What The people of chi, city do claim is that it has become che universal custom throughout the United States to put certain minor oIenses, among which are some Of those over which the ied- eral authorities in this city assumed jurisdiction, absolutely in the hands of the municipalities. And the peo- pie of Skagway, say further, that it Is not entirely becoming in the federal authorities to complain a, the manner in which the city ot Skagway ha, been enforcing the law, when, as a matter Of fact, it has followed the precedent made by those same federal authorities, during the several year- they have been in office. The question of saloon licenses does no, figure in the matter at an
