The play is of Alaska. in the days of its
early settlement, when law and order
were maintained by government troops.
1t deals with the life-story Of John Gale,
who fled civilization when accused of :,
crime of which he was innocent. He and
Dan Stark loved the same woman. Stark
won her and then eventually killed her,
managing to throw suspicion upon Gale.
When the play opens Gale is established
in his little trading station in Alaska,
with Nicola, the daughter of the dead
woman he loved. believing herself to be
his daughter and the daughter of Alluna,
his squaw wife. Capt. Burrell, Z. S. A.,
a scion of an aristocratic Kentucky fam
lily, comes to the settlement with his
troop and falls in love with Necia. When
Media finally realizes that his marriage
to her-tainted with the strain of Indian
blood-would antagoniZe his family and
wreck his career in the army, she refuses
to allow him to make the sacrifice. Dan
Stark then appears, learns the identity of
John Gale, who, in turn. recognizes him.
The two men fight battle to the death
in the dark of Capt. Burrell's quarters.
and Gale Is victorious. On his deathbed
Stark admits that Gale is innocent of the
charge of murder and that Nicola is his
own daughter-without even drop of
Indian blood In her veins. The lovers are
united. Gale is cleared and the villain
gets his just reward. as should be the
case in every well ordered melodrama.

Queer Goldfish.

Beautiful and most interesting of all
goldfish is native Of Japan, and 1t is
noted for the beauty of it's tail and the
abnormal length of its fms. The tail
resembles delicate veil, and the fms
are developed to such an extent that it
is impossible for the fish to make rapid
progress in the water. It is therefore
solely on account Of its beauty that it
is priced and because in this respect it
differs widely from other varieties of
goldfish, such as the telescope fish,"
the eyes OF which bulge out OF the
head il most unsightly fashion; the
celestial eyed fish" which is also un-
comely because its eyes are bullet
shaped and are ever turned skyward,
and the EGG FISH" which is so called
because its body is somewhat amor
phous, but resembles an egg more
than anything else.
