civilization in Alaska. His daughter
Neeia is beautiful young girl, gen.
orally believed to be a half breed,
daughter of Gale and the Indian
squaw Alluna, with whom he lives.
Some hidden burden weighs continu-
ally on the traders mind, and he
views with apprehension the arrival
of a squad of soldiers at Flambeau.
THAT means the law" he says un-
easily to Necia, who has become ac-
quainted with and admired by LIEU
tenant Burrell, commander of the
soldiers. lit becomes known that
Napoleon Doret, an honest, faithful
French Canadian employed by Gale,
is deeply in love with Necia. One

silk gown brought by him from Daw-

she meets Lieutenant Burrell, who
falls madly in love with her, and he
wonders If her blood is really faint

him. This time. however, she did not
pit her strength against his, but paus-

thrust at his elbow. then lodged out

well timed, and his shot went wild.
Again he took aim, and again she de-

calculation Of all that depended upon

Sugar is an article of universal
consumption and a convenient SUBJ
iect of a revenue duty, says III.
Alexandria Gazette But the tax
equivalent to so per cent, one of the
highest rates in the law, was estab-
ished with quite as much regard to
the interest of the sugar trust as to
that of the United States treasury.
There is''a committee of wholesale
grocers formed to urge reduction of
the duties on sugar" and this com.
mittee is disseminating the infor.
nation. that the American Sugar Re
fning Company has been selling con-
siderable quantities Of sugar for ex-
pert at nearly two cents uuder the
domestic price. Mr.. Claus a.
Spreckels, who is outside the sugar
trust, told the ways and means
committee of the House last Novem-
Der that sugar refining needed no
protection, and he favored the free
admission of both raw and refined.
But the treasury would miss the
revenue. The rates, however, on
sugar as well as on everything else
ought to be for revenue and not for
the protection of an industry.
