DAPHNE'S HOPE BOX
A Feminine Conceit and Joke
That Led to Much Pleas
ant Gossip.
BY SELMA LILLIAN HIGGINS.

How very nice of Nellie" said
Mary Lincoln, as she and her best
friend Daphne Willis, parted at the
village post office after receiving and
opening two boxes, exactly alike.
THE lace is exquisite" spoke
Daphne, glancing with taste and pleas
ure over the neck collar neatly done
up in tissue paper with a dainty
sachet bag beside it, Nellie is very
thoughtful"
They had been great friends, those
three. All through Nellie's engage
ment Mary and Daphne had been clos
est to her of her many acquaintances.
She had promised not to forget them
when she reached the city on her wed
ding tour. Now Nellie had redeemed
her promise.

ular club party next week said
Mary. "You will be there, Daphne?"
Il think not. My aunt is not very

of the time. Besides" and Daphne
gave a nervous laugh, 81 fear l am
getting past the party age, Mary"
"Nonsense!" cried her devoted
friend "Twenty-three, and you look
like sixteen. It's just the breaking up
of our old circle that gives you the
blues. Now you wear that handsome
collar--lace always becomes you.
Don't go giving it away, as you usual

you for"
"Oh, shall not do that" declared
Daphne. 1T will always be a tender
reminder of our dear Nellie. ! shall

Just here Mary made pretense of
clinching her pretty pink and white
fists and grinding her pearly teeth in
a feint of the most dreadful rage.

WILD DOGS PEST OF AFRICA
Hunting In Packs, They Do Incalcula-
BILE Damage to Sheep and Other
Live Stock of Farmers.

There is no wild animal in Africa
which deals out such wholesale de.
struction to certain kinds of game as
the hunting dog. Leopards have been
known to be chased up trees; hyenas
have been found in process of being
mobbed to death; the lion himself,
when found solitary, is sometimes
pursued by pack.
Bush pirate and Ishmael as he is,
strangely enough toward man the
hunting dog seems to betray little or
no aggressive tendency.
Wandering about in bands over
huge areas of wild country, and sell
dom remaining more than a few days
in any one locality, the hunting dog is
probably less frequently encountered
than any other kind of carnivore, and
therefore in less degree than any 9TH
er has he the experience of man and
his ways There is at least no doubt
that when this experience has been
acquired few creatures show more
haste in escaping from mans pres
ence or display more intelligence in
doing SO. But If there is little ground
of complaint against him as regards
man personally, it is a very different
matter where the latter's flocks and
herds are concerned.
When the farmer first begins to

sweeping down upon a flock, a pack
of these animals will in a very few
minutes entirely annihilate it, killing

pleasure of doing SO, and then, having
completed the slaughter, will prob
ably be miles away wreaking the
same destruction elsewhere. ere tn.

wrinkled cheeks and scrawny neck,
when eve ybody says you grow more
and more beautiful"
That's enough" retorted Daphne,
closing the cherry lips of her staunch
champion with a kiss-"I know | am
beginning to feel very old, and /
think 1t duty to be prepared if any
likely old bachelor-why. yes, even
some respectable widower-should
happen along, you know!"
1t was all a joke, Daphnes hope
box" a feminine conceit that ap-
pealed to Daphne because it led to
pleasant quip and gossip among her
bright girl friends. In her own mind
Daphne felt pretty we'll convinced that
she would never marry She had
pleasant, permanent home with her
aunt. She felt that she was past the
frivolous age. Daphne had encoun-
tered some ideals during the years,
but they had turned out selfish and
prosaic. None of them had ever come
up to her standard of a real man.
Her hope box" was a satin-lined
cedar chest, given to her by a dear
girl friend one birthday. Daphne had
accumulated store of both pretty and
useful things. 1t pleased her aunt to
look over not only her presents but
the exquisite needlework of Daphne
herself, while her industrious niece ex-
perienced a certain pride in having
pretty trif1es to exhibit to her girl
visitors.
1t was nearly year after the we'd
ding OF Nellie that Daphne received a
letter from a cousin who lived at Mer-
ton. She had been in correspondence
regularly with this relative, and sew
eral times Miss Dalby had referred to
"A neighbor, a Mr.. Paul Barnes.
Il have great news for you,
Daphne" this last letter ran. II have
often told you what a fine young man
Mr. Barnes was. His parents left him
quite an estate, and suppose he got
lonely in the old homestead. At any
rate, he is about to marry, and what
do you think? he has picked out the

light At the end Of a month Joe had
enough ready cash to provide for his
limited living needs. Then he started
in on what he called his grand ideal"
He spent several evenings going
over the plans for the new house. He
measured and calculated. With the
aid of builders book he had picked
up, Joe was able to figure out Just
what kind and how much of lumber,
brick, stone and the like was needed.
He even got so far as to actually es-
innate the number of nails in the an
ticipated construction!
Every week he wrote to Walter in
the city. Three times a week he drove
around to see Mercy. She had no time
to visit him, for she had to slave haro
TO please her narrow-minded, COM
planning sister. Joe was SO CHEEKY and
courageous that he frightened UP her
spirits considerably despite the fact
that her lover did not write the most
hopeful letters in the world.
With the end of the year Walter
Rose wrote that he had not done as
we'll in the city as he had anticipated.
He was homesick, however, and was
coming back to Riverdale, to be
among friends, even if he had to work
little harder and wait little longer
for that new house
Walter was puzzled at the gaiety and
suppressed excitement of little Joe
as the latter met him at the depot with
old Dobbin and the wagon. The ami
NAL looked well kept, the vehicle was
freshly painted. Walter sighed as they
came in sight of the old house. 1t was
discouraging Homecoming.
Il had hoped when l came back
here" he told his companion, that
would surely have earned and saved
enough to provide a neat home nest
for Mercy and the old folks. Instead
of that have less than $500, mere
beginning. Why, what's that?"
Well might Walter stare! The old
place looked like lumber yard. Piled
up symetrically were old boards, laths,
shingles, rubble stone and dimension
stone sufficient to lay a pretentious
foundation, and heap after heap of
bricks.
TITS the result of my grand ideal"
cried Joe proudly. You know they
are doing lot of tearing down and re-
building in the new factory town of
Blairsville, eight miles away. What
you see yonder is waste stuff thrown
away-nails that they let drop to the
ground, stone, brick and lumber that
the wrecking crews bury or burn up
I've picked up over two hundred loads
that they were glad to give me to get
rid of, and, say, Uncle Walter! there's
enough bricks-Pve counted them-to
build as fine house as was ever put
up in Riverdale!"
You blessed little fellow!" said
Mercy, when an hour later she knew
that the new house was a certainty
and tears Of joy fell upon the bright
golden head as she kissed Joe CRATE
| fully.
And, 10! the stone that the builders
had rejected had become the founda
ton Of structure of comfort, love
and happiness!

erous nature that never forgetS am
pretty sure he has no genuine love for
Lima. In fact, it is pretty we'll known
that some Quixotic idea of lifting the
girl from poverty to comfort and max.
ing a true woman of her is his idea.
She is so poor her folks cannot afford
any kind of an outfit, and very quietly
some friends and myself are helping
her out. If you have any little trifes
to contribute, l shall be glad"
Goodhearted Daphne had something
of struggle with herself. Then her
generous soul impelled sacrifice.
Il shall never marry" she said to
herself. Il shall be making some one
happy" and the hope box went to
Miss Dalby.
Two months later Daphnes aunt
died. 1t was natural that Miss Dalby
should ask her to make her home
with her This she did, and Daphne
found herself installed at Merton.
Il have often thought of the we'd
ding you wrote me about" observed
Daphne, the first evening of her ar
rival.
"Oh, did l never write you!" ex-
claimed Miss Daily. The match was
broken off. We got up quite hand
some outfit for Lima Temple She
never used it, for she eloped with a
circus performer two days before the
date for the wedding"
And Mr. Barnes?" inquired Daphne.
Il think, secretly, he was relieved,
for the girl was not of his class
headstrong, capricious, all for tinsel
and glitter. He acted the man COM
pletely, however. He followed the
elopers made sure that the new hus-
band would be good to the wild, un-
tutored girl, and they say, even start
ed him in a new business"
OF course, Daphne met Paul Barnes,
and there seemed to spring up a mu-
tual interest between them. One eve-
ming as he stood at the garden gate,
the tender influences of the sweet
June night seemed to bind him lin
geringly to the spot.
You are a good friend, Miss Will
lis he said. Il never told you, but
| | have heard of your kind thought to
make happy the young lady l at one
time thought to make my wife"
And you are a good man, Mr..
Barnes" replied Daphne with genuine
impulse, although she flushed a trifie
consciously. 1T was a noble thought
to strive to guide her untutored steps
Alright"
Shall we walk to the lake and
back? 1t is such beautiful evening"
he suggested, and there was a strange,
wistful tremor in his voice.
The moonlit shadows lengthening
on the long, dewy grass, the holy stars
shining down through the lace-like
mistiness of the enraptured night.
Daphne listened to words that rang SO
true their echo thrilled and fingered,
even as she came back to the house,
her heart beating with the joy of a
new-found happiness. her face radi-
ant with telltale bushes.
She went up to where Miss Dalby
sat and put her arms around her, and
hid her conscious face on her shoul-
der.
Dear cousin" che whispered, you
told me you had stored my old hope
box in the garrett"
Yes, dear" replied Miss Dalby,
smiling wisely.
Il should like to have it back again,
if you please" said sweet Daphne

The strikers have broken into the company powder magazines and are in possession of thous- ands of boxes of dynamite much of which they have plant ed in various places and threat en to light the fuses in case an attack is made on them by the militia. They also have several of the most prominent mining operators held practically as hostages, holding them in their own houses under guard and threatening to blow houses and occupants into kingdom come.

SIMPLY WENT ON STRIKE

Gambler Bay Jim was found not guilty of blackmail by Com missioner Marshall, at Juneau, last Saturday afternoon, and the alleged crime was found to be merely a strike.
 Jim was arrested three or four days ago onthe theory that he had placed a spell on the cannery at Gambler Bay, and silenced the hum of the ma chinery. The trouble started over the character of the fish the Indian potentate brought fo the cannery-the fish was finally so bad that the cannery was unable to use it and Jim was so informed.
 Following this refusal to ac- cept his wares, Gambler Bay Jim presented his ultimatum to Superintendent Teal. He placed over the cannery what was sup posed to be a spell, and all the natives refused to work.
 Attorney Burton, who repre- : sented the defendant, convinced lie court that the fish vender although he is a big medicine man with the tribe, had exer- clsed no criminally occult prac tices, but had merely inaugura : ted a modern strike, and in view of the case the defendant was discharged. The cannery is still closed.

SHOOTING AT DOUGLAS

Sunday morning at ? o'clock Frank Sundell, a young jewelry salesman, accidently shot and killed Ruby Scott, resident of the Douglas restricted district, and when he saw that the shot had proved fatal, turned the weapon upon himself and sent a bullet through his own heart.
 Sundell and the Scott woman were scuffling in a playful man ncr, neither one of them in- toxicated, both were laughing heartily and in the best of hu- nor when Sundell tried to catch the woman in his arms. She play fully showed him back and he reached into his hip pocket and pulled out a Colt s 9 caliber automatic revolver and almed 1t at the woman ; face. In some way the wea- ron was discharged and the bul let entered the wOman'S mouth which was open with laughter. and she fell to the floor.
 Spectators arrived upon the scene and some one asked who shot the woman, and Sundell answered "I did, it was an ac- cident," and the people present were then startled by the sound oi a unified report of a revol- yer, he having pulled the trig- ger of the pistol that he had pressed to his breast. The bull let entered at the left nipple and penetrated the heart and the man fell over on the floor dead.
 In the meantime Ruby Scott was bathed in torrent of blood, the bullet ranging down ward and no doubt severing all artery. and before a physician could arrive she was dead.

THE LATEST NEWS
 FROM ShUSHANNA

Cordova, Aug. 12-There is no truth in the report that was sent out from here yesterday recording the loss of lives on the trail according to Chief of Police Hennecke who arrived here las night from the new gold diggings on Shushanna. He says that there is a short age of food and all mining tools are prizes as none are to be had for any price. Many miles of good streams not far distant from discovery are not yet located but that all claims in the immediate vicinity are taken and that claim jumping and food stealing is causing much trouble in the camp which make it necessary to send deputy marshal and a commissioner there as soon as possible with a knowledge of law. Chief Hennecke passed many big outfits on the way out and as soon as they are at work he predicts some big strikes.
