So to the store she went, and spent
the morning in that most fascinating
occupation-bargain hunting. At noon
she went to a nearby restaurant for
lunch, and from there to the Thurs
day Literary club, with several mem
bers whom she met.
All thought of the letter had passed
from her mind. The absorbing club
questions were of more vital interest.
and cot again did il occur to her until
she was on the car homeward bound.
When she opened her handbag to
get a car ticket, the delayed letter
stared her in the face.
Heavens" she calculated under
her breath; what will Albert say"
Il am sorry | can not 60" she heard
a gentleman near her say to another,
but ! shall have to return to my Of
flee tonight. | have some business
which can not postpone"
An idea flashed through her brain.
Turning TO the speaker, she said:
Pardon me, Mr.. Clark: ! heard you
say you were going back down town
tonight. Will you be SO good as to
post this letter which | had forgot
ten?"
with pleasure" The outstretched
letter was transferred to his pocket,
and he was soon on his way to the
office. Flinging aside his coat, he
worked hard for three hours; then
hastily donning it again. he made a
rush for the last car home,
AS he felt for a nickel for the con-
ductor, his fingers closed on the fatal
letter. He puzzled on the way home
what to do with it, and a bright idea
occurred. AS he left the car, he
turned to the conductor and handed
him the letter with a cigar.
you are going back to
town." he said. Will you kindly drop
this in the postofice as you pass?
1t is important and should leave the
city tonight"
The conductor ~good-naturedly &C
cepted the mission, and taking the
white envelope eingerly between his
dirty fingers, slipped it in a crevice
of the car window. so its presence
would remind him when he came TO
the postofficc. But a merry crowd,
returning from an evening party,
boarded the car for the return trip
to the city, and in the hustle and
~good-natured confusion, the conductor
forgot all about the Inflated letter.
The letter remained in the crack
above the window until the next even
ing, when the jolting of the car shook
l. into the lap of Mr.. Simpson. who
looked at it in wonderment. He puz-
zled his brain as TO how he became
possessed of il. and seeing it was
stamped and addressed, he deter
mined to slip it in the p%ost-boX outside
the door when he came home.
Nine days later, Mrs. Jerome went
to spend a social afternoon with her
friend, MIS-. Simpson. The two ladies
were upstairs in Mrs. Simpsons sit
ting room, and she was brushing and
sponging her husbands coat. Giving it
a vigorous shake, a letter fell out on
the floor. She looked at the address.
Dear me! Where did John get this
letter."
Mrs. Jerome looked at it.
1t is a letter | wrote mother and
gave my husband TO post IL days ago.
| may destroy it now, as she has ar
rived"

 Dear friend:-We arrived here at last. The town and country Is not as repre- sented. Fairbanks is dead, nothing to do and no buildings have been put up here since the fire except the school house. The town is about mile long and ten streets wide. On Front street, by the river, is the business part of the town. There are few frame buildings, the insides of which are made of mill lumber and the outside and roof of gal vanized iron; the saloons and stores are built of logs, except the fronts. The Catholic church and hospital, Presby- terian church, school house and about thirty small residences are frame build ings, and all the rest are log cabins and they are scattered and built in all kinds of shapes. And about three.quarters of the town is for sale. You can see "for sale" signs all over-even res taurauts, secondhand stores and gro-

Not content with quarreling inces- sanity over their own affairs the Ju. neau papers last week got into Jangie about the necessity of U. S. commis- sioner and deputy marsbal in Douglas. The News has no desire to mix in the controversy other than to suggest that the size and importance of Douglas would certainly entitle it to such rec ognitiou should the people demand 1t. The power that stamps out the business of peddIng whiskey must not he ham, pered by such restrictions as are thrown around the municipal court by congressional enactment. Inasmuch as the government is alone ponsible for the peculiar position which the Indian occupies there should be no quibbliug over the expense which this condition creates. The business of protecting the Indian belongs to the government and not 10 the municipality.

A statement from Henry D. Reynolds of the Reynolds. Alaska Development Go. arrived too late for publication in this issue. In a letter accompanying 1t Mir. Reynolds says: Throughout all the recent financial difficulties have remained silent under bitter attacks, believing that ill the end truth and jus tice must prevail" It is only fair and right that MT. Reynolds should be heard in his own behalf, especially should it appear that they that be against him are actuated by other mo- tives than the ends of justice. At any rate his statement of the case makes some most interesting revelations.

DOES RUSHING BUSINESS
UNUSUAL RECORD IN LOCAL
POLICE COURT.
Eighty-One Arrangements in United
States Branch and Forty
in District Court. y:

Monday was one Of the busiest days
in the routine work of the Police Court
since its removal from the old quarters.
The rush was due to the great number
of assault and petit larceny cases, the
largest. it is stated, since either of the
two presiding judges has held Office.
The cases in the United States branch
presided over by Judge Kimball numbe red
eighty-one. of which sixty were dis
posed of. In addition to the assault and
petit larceny charges. there was a
goodly portion of grand jury cases, such
as assaults with a dangerous weapon,
grand larceny and several graver of
lenses. The balance of the docket was
made up of charges of threats, attempted
LARCENY, gambling and disorderly
houses.
The session of the United States
branch lasted until 30 pm, and the
force of clerks was kept busy entering
papers upon the docket records until
o'clock in the afternoon.
In District Branch.
Forty-odd cases were disposed of by
Judge Mullowny in the District branch.
the large majority of which were for
disorderly conduct and profanity
charges. The court also disposed of
several charges of concealed weapons.
and charges of keeping unlicensed bars.
A numoer of additional cases were
either continued or the accused persons
demanded jury trials.
The busiest man in the building was
Frank S. Sebring, the financial clerk,
who stated that the receipts for Nom
day were the largest in the his
tory of the courts, so far as the records
in his possession indicate. In forfeiture
of collateral and paid fines the total re-
ceipts amounted to $1.511.5s. The work
was of such a heavy character that the
financial clerk was kept working at his
desk until & o'clock at night, and only
finished the minor details in the morning.
1t is stated that Monday was the
first day for over fifteen months that
every precinct i'm the city, including
the two substations. were represented
by maria and collateral lists. In spite
Of the very great number of cases, it
was peculiar fact that not one Of
them tried or continued was of any
especial Importance.
