The A. B. Convention

There is no longer doubt that the A. B. convention will be held in the A. l.. U. hall in Douglas, beginning on the 18th of the present month. So many of the delegates arriving in Ju- neau, where they are members of the Alaska legislature, have expressed their desire to come to Douglas that arrange ments are going ahead for their meet. ing here.
 The movement to disregard the action of the Vancouver grand camp and make of the Brotherhood dis tinctly Northern order is gaining ground every day, and delegates are coming to Douglas from nearly every camp in the jurisdiction. It is pre- dicted that this will be the turning point in the career of the order and that the firm stand at this convention will add greatly to it's popularity. It is pretty sure that after this convention there will be no more camps, grand or otherwise, south of 54-20.
 The local camp is also warming up as the time for the convention draws near. It is planned to organize large class of chechacos to mush over the trail during the convention and for this purpose the mem bership fee has been reduced to S1O. 1t is thought that many who have been holding back will take advantage of this opportunity to join the Brotherhood

Several of our exchanges have praised the tone of an article appearing in the News last week, which is indeed very nice. The News always tries to stand on the side of right and upholds decency and morality, but it's feeble efforts will always be swept aside like a straw before gale until public senti- ment shall be so aroused that the citi, zens of this Northland will demand the enforcement of law.

sand times more acutely in memory
of the comradeship of her whose
words had brought him new gleam
of hope. Never before had loneliness
seemed so complete, and never before
had he realized how wide was the
chasm between the old and the new
life. This constantly recurrent mem
ory embittered him, and made him
restless. Yet out Of 1t all, there grew
a firmer determination to win back his
old position in the world, to stamp
out the lie through which the Confed-
crate court-martial had condemned
him. If LIE Fevre were alive, he meant
now to find him, face him, and COM
pei him to speak the truth. The dis
covery of that haversack gave point
from which to start. and his mind CEN
tered there with fixed purpose which
obscured all else.
It was after dark when IN" troop,
wearied by their long days march
across the brown grass, rode slowly
up the face of the bluff, and into the
parade ground at Fort Dodge. The
lights Of the guard-house revealed the
troopers faces, while all about them
cleaned the yellow lamps, as the gar
rison came forth to welcome their ar
rival. Guided by a corporal Of the
guard the men led their horses to the
stables, and, as they passed the row
of officers houses Hamlin caught
furtive glimpse in radius of light
that gave his pulses q sudden throb.
She was here then-here! He had
hardly dared hope for this. They
would meet again; that could scarcely
be avoided in such narrow quarters.
But how? On what terms? He ven
tured the one swift glimpse at her-a
slender, white-robed figure, one among
a group Of both men and women be-
fore an open door, through which the
light streamed-heard her ask: who
are they? What cavalry troop Is that?"
caught the response in a mans voice:
"'M' of the Seventh, from Fort Union,"
and then passed by, his eyes looking
straight ahead, his hand gripping his
horses bit.

Waohlnoton Pie.

One-quarter cup butter. one cup
sugar, two eggs, one-half cup milk.
one and one-half cups sifted -four. one
rounding teaspoon Of baking powder.
The way In which this is put together
is a little unusual, but If you can
follow the directions think you win
be pleased with the result. Cream
the butter and sugar by hand, add
the eggs one at time and slap them
in by hand. Then use spoon and
add milk and most Of the -four and
beat well. Add the baking powder sift-
ed with a little of the flour. and do
not beat much after adding 1t. This
makes a fine-grained. light cake.

Like the Greek Philosophers Fate

Like the Greek Philosophers Fate
The matter of newspaper subscrip-
tions reminds Kansas editor of the
Greek philosopher whose poverty be-
gan to pinch him. One of his friends
sent word to the men of the city that
each should take certain kind Of
wine and on certain day 60 to the
philosophers house and pour the wine
into an empty vat. And SO they did
but each thought that one bottle Of
water would not be noticed in SO
much wine, and the vat was filled
with water. Thus the philosopher
received no aid. 1t is somewhat that
way with subscriptions. One fellow
thinks he owes only small amount
and so neglects to pay 1t. The other
fellow thinks the sans and the editor
fares almost as we'll as the philos.

but know the trail. Can you outfit
me, lieutenant"
Gaskins smiled grimly, but with no
trace of humor. His eyes were upon
the girl. still leaning over her POM
mel.
"I'll outfit you all right" he said
brusquely, "and with no great regret,
either. And shall report finding
you here in disobedtence to orders"
"Very well, sir"
: Molly's brown eyes swept to the
lieutenant's face, her form straighten-
ing in the saddle, her lips pressed
tightly together. Gaskins fronted the
sergeant, stung into anger by the
mans quiet response.
II shall prefer charges, you under
stand" almost savagely. Helm, give
this fellow that extra rife, and am

Wasson rolled out of his saddle.

which might have been an oath.

up! I'll git to Dodge all right. Won't
hurt me none to walk"
The eyes Of the two men met under
standingly, and Hamlin took the rein
in his hand. Gaskins started to speak,
but thought better of it. A moment
he stood, irresolute, and then swung
up into saddle, his glance ignoring the
sergeant.

ed sharply. "By column four
march,"
The girl spurred her horse forward,
and held out her hand.

"you-will be careful"
"Of course" and he smiled up into
her eyes. Don't worry about mel

"And l am to see you again."

I hope for the best"

murmured hastily, cor that I will
not be glad to meet you anywhere"
Some time 1 may put you to the
test" he answered soberly. III any
trouble comes, trust Wasson-he is a
real man."
He stood there, one arm thrown
over the neck Of the horse, watching
them ride away. up the trail. The
lieutenant and the girl were together
at the rear of the short column, and
he seemed to be talking earnestly
