by obligation or environment they be-
come a little overkeen at bridge, or
take the wrong sables, or stuff gold
backed brush into a muff at a recep-

the sensation It caused at the Buck

sweeping to her carriage with two
feet of gold chain hanging from the

three or four hundred people, the sus-
picion had to be divided among ten.
And Of those ten, at least eight of us
were friends, and the other two had
been vouched for by the Browns and
Jimmy. II was a horrible mix.up. For
the necklace was gone-there couldn't
be any doubt Of that-and although,
as Dallas said, 1t couldn't get out Of
the house, still, there were plenty OF
places to hide the thing.
The worst OF our trouble really
originated with Max Reed, after all.
For II was Max who made the silly
wager over the telephone, with Dick
Bagley. He bet five hundred even
that one of us, at least, would break
quarantine within the next "a hours,

Washington, Nov. 6.-Acting un- der orders from -.4s government, the Turkish ambassador stationed here has made direct appeal to the United States government to use its offices with view of stopping the Italian barbarities.
 It is claimed that in addition to the murdering of 4Vu women and children by the Italians in Tripoli, after the outer forts were captured by the turkish troops, that almost daily atrocities are committed against Turkish women and non-combatants by Italian troops.
 The petition of the ambassador has aroused great interest in diplomatic circles, since noted peace adherents in many parts of the world had all ready asked the United States to offer it's services, for .-,e sake of peace as a disinterested party.
 The Aqua1nobile company has filed it's articles of incorporation in the of flee of the clerk of the district court at Valdez. The incorporators are c. O., Cracroft, L. S. Bitner and K. E. Holden. all of Cordova, and they con stitute the board of directors of the company.
 The objects of .le company, as set forth in the articles of incorporation, are to invent, patent sell or other wise acquire or dispose of water cycles or other watermobiles,; to use, operate, build, construct and manufacture and improve by inven- tion or otherwise that certain water cycle or water cycles invented and patented by Chester o. Cracroft, of the District of Alaska for which pat ent was issued on the eighth day of August. 1911. by the commissioner of patents of the United States.

LOSS IF CH|T|NA
 RESIDENT

Mrs. Wallace, of Chitina, return ed on the last boat from a visit to the states. She took excellent care
 of her purse, in order that the light fingered gentry of Seattle might not be tempted, only to lose it in the ocean with $500 and a diamond ring and other jewelry.
 The purse never left Mrs. Wallace for a minute. And unlike most Alaskans, she left the wharf in Se- attle with something more than a return ticket. While walking on the deck. the steamer gave sudden lurch, slammed her against the side, and as she clutched for SUD- port, her purse went flying over board.

federal soldiers who repulsed a large
force Of rebels while the former pres

Diaz was travelling and on the es-
corting trains, occurred at Pepeyha-
hualco. With General Diaz at the
time were Senor Diaz, Colonel Por-
firlo Diaz, his son, and the latter S
family. The trains were proceeding
slowly with a pilot engine in the lead;

They numbered 500, and began a
