said MacClurg You will feel differently day.

with tears in her lovely eyes. "What good can it
do me for you to send Jack off to Alaska to freeze
and starve and be killed by Indians and things and
to perish going the Chilkoot Pass?"
MacCurg gasped with establishment. my dear

When you began this remarkable conversation l
supposed you referred to the fact that declined
the honor of being Mr. John Hamilton's father in
law; but fail to see what that has to do with
Alaska
1T has all the same!" replied Beatrix wrathfully.
"You called Jack fortune hunter and said he
couldn't marry me unless he had income of
twenty thousand year, and he started for Alaska
last night to try and earn that twenty thousand"
"Humph," replied MacClurg. Il didn't think he
had so much grit
NO" returned his daughter, "you thought you
could insult him and call him fortune hunter, and
that would be the end of it; but you didn't know
Jack Hamilton. Oh papa! l didn't think you
could be so crue1i"
Cruel, Trixy? Is that the adjective for a
father who has done everything for you? I've de-
voted my life to you since your mother died" said
MacClurg.
And that is the very reason I surprised

you have granted my slightest wish, and l never
dreamed that you could refuse the dearest happiness

the last he writes before he going to be married

I am greatly hurt and disappointed in you,
well, am not going to give my daughter

properly" replied MacClurg. You don't
know the value of money. Here are Van

every six months to marry them, both with

pretty face at the window watching him.
pEATRIX seated herself before her
- mothers portrait and said YEARLY,
oh mama, if you were here perhaps you
could manage papa!" The face of the por-
trait was a reproduction of BeatriX's own.
CARRIED in her white wedding gown, the
mother looked down with loving eyes on
her sad faced daughter. The portrait hung
directly over a dainty desk OF ebony and
gold that had belonged to the mother,
which Beatrix now used herself. The young
woman took from the desk a bundle of let
tiers and a picture which she kissed fervidly,
murmuring, "Oh, Jack darling. you viii
die in that cruel northern country!" and
placing both arms on the desk she bowed
her head on them in an abandon of grief
and despair.
An hour passed away, and lifting her
head from her arms she saw lying before her
another bundle of letters in hitherto un-
known drawer The weight of her arms
and head had pressed spring which had
disclosed the secret receptacle of these let
tiers.
Beatrix picked up the letters and read
them: for the first words she saw attracted
her attention as they were precisely the

Il humor that morning. She tapped her
slippered foot impatiently, and wr1n-
kled her pretty brow in desperate attempt
to keep back the tears. Her breakfast re-
NAMED untasted, as she alternately read
letter that she had just received and made
pretense of glancing at the morning paper,
while awaiting her fathers appearance at
breakfast-but she was not conscious OF
single word therein.
Miss MacClurgs i'll humor was the result
of certain events that had transpired within
the previous twenty-fOur hours. Yesterday
morning she had believed herself to be the
happiest girl in the world. This morning
she considered herself the most wretched OF
anyone on earth Yesterday morning she
previous evening, when in the silence of the
conservatory, amid the flowers and palms, a
pair of soft, gray eyes with the light and love
of youth had looked into her own, and a
young mans voice had tenderly whispered
his love and asked her to be his wife. She
could feel again his kiss as she answered
Yes and put her little hand in his.
Then, after that happy awakening, she
remembered he had told her that he would
call on her father at his office that very
morning, and she had confidently expected
all the day that her father would bring her
lover home with him to dine and give them
both his blessing. as any well regulated
father should do. Little Miss MacClurg
had been motherless for several years and
her father and his servants bowed down
and worshiped her to an extent unknown
to the average young woman of the day:
But when MacClurg had returned to his
six o'clock dinner he had brought no young
man with him; but on the contrary was &C
companied by couple of out of town Uni
versal Gas & Oil magnates. The magnates
were bald and wrinkled, and had talked of
nothing but pipes and tankage and stock to
MacClurg, who was himself mighty man
in the Universal Gas & Oil Company.
Their conversation at dinner had wearied

gray eyes and bonnie brown hair of a certain

BUSINESS MEN
AND PR|zEFIGHTS
What Rev. w. D. WesterveIt
Says They Ought to Do
About II.

Editor Advertiser: Now that the
Civic Federation has called attention
to the fact that the proposed prize
fights are in defiance of United States
laws, I wish to call attention to anoth-
er fact which has a decided bearing
to exert in securing visitors and set
tiers and more business from the main
land.
When the question of annexation
was before the United States and vari-
Gus bodies in large centers of influence
were asked to petition Congress in be-
half of annexation, the Chicago Con-
gregatio Ministerial Union of about
125 members, was asked to unite with
others. Rev. Eli Corwin fathered the
movement and I had the pleasure of
seconding the appeal:
Note this fact-the strongest speech
made against annexation was made by
the president of one of the large sub
urban colleges. He argued that the
CndrdCleTS u TIRE popuIdtIoh pIOpoSco
to be annexed was unsatisfactory and
would reflect disgracefully upon the
rest of the United States. The opium
disgrace under King Kalakaua and the
proposed lottery of later issue were
cited. Then the speaker argued that
Hawaii would be a Monte Carlo for
gambling and would also be the plague
spot for prizefighting. He did not
know, nor did the speakers who an
swered him know, that the United
States laws for territories were as
strict as they are. Nor were any of
us sure that the islands would be Civ
en- a place as a territory.
The argument that the islands would
be a disgrace to the mother country
was met by calling attention to the
counter fact that although such things
had been proposed, they failed to sue
coed because of the strong healthy
tone of the business life of the islands.
1t was this foundation upon which an
nexation would be established. DR..
Corwin was especially pronounced in
his faith that neither gambling nor
would be countenanced
by the business men of Hawaii.
When the vote came there was
scarcely any opposition to the petit
ton.
Can the business men of Honolulu
afford to permit fragrant violation of
the very specific laws of the United
States?
