 ON THE CONVENTION

The democrats ot the First divi- sion Of Alaska, in convention as sembled at Juneau, have been hay ing a monkey and a parrot sort of a time. Among other things they question in several cases whether some Of the delegates are the si- moU pure article Of democracy. Among others Is Senator Tanner, of SkagWay, who has been a prominent Wlcksrsham supporter for years and was elected as 8 no0-partisan. Well Uncle si now seeks to lead the dem ocratic lambs as a shepherd leads his sheep, but those real old demo- crats for many years through thick cratis for many years through thick and thin, in sickness and in, health, resent the intrusion of Senator Tan Rer. A ticket was named yesterday 10 include N. J. sVindeth for sena- tor, and c. F. cheek, G. Forrest and c. II. MoGrath for representa- tYes. Wm. Britt, of Juneau, treas urer Of the democratic campaign committee, who was named for rep resentative at the non-partisan con Yention, has been passed Up like a whit chip by the democrats.-Doug- las Island News.

Goody! I've read about masked balls and
have always been crazy to go to one, said
Florence with eagerness.
Suppose we 90 at once and pick out some
costumes?" suggested Norton.
= Just ~ soon can get my hat on.
replied Florence, happy lark.
But mind" warned Jones: be sure that
you re the costumer alone and that no one

!" We've got to do some hustlins to find some
thing suitable. For a big affair like this the
town win be transacted. All aboardl There's
room for two in that car of mine; and We
can have spin besides- Hang work."
Florence laughed, and even Jones permitted
smile (which was not grim this time) to
stir his lips.
A happy person is generally unobservanf-
Two happy persons together are totally UNI
obsefvant Of what passes around them In
palmer terms this lack is called love. And
being frankly in love with each other, neither
Norton nor Florence observed that . taxicab
followed them into town. Jones, not being In
love- was keenly observant; but the taxicab
took up the trail two blocks away, 80 the
matter wholly escaped Jones' eye.
The two went into several costumers', but
could not find what they wanted They
eventually discovered a shop on a side street
that had been overlooked by those invited to
the masquerade. They had merry time
rummaging among the camphory smelling
boxes. There were dominoes of all colors.
and at length they agreed upon two modest
ones that were evenly matched in color and
design. Florence ordered them to be sent
home. Then the two of them sailed up to
the Ritz-Carleton and had tea.
The man from the taxicab entered tie cos
tuners, displayed detectives shield and de-
manded that the proprietor show him the cos

and returned to his taxicab.
Now, I wonder" unused the costumer,
what the dickens those innocent looking
young people are up to-" He never found
out.
On the night of the ball Norton dined with
his life he experienced that petty disturbance
Ct collective thought called embarrassment.
To talk over war plans with Jones was one
thing, but to have Jones serve soup was alto
gether another. All through dinner Jones re-

CHAPTER XVIII.
THE MASKED RAIL-.

stretching out its powerful secret
arms toward Norton-there arrived in
New York City a parsonage. This person
age was the Princess Parlova, fabulously
rich Polish Russian. She leased fine house
near Central park and set about to conquer
social New York. This was not very difa-
cult, for her title was perfectly genuine and
she moved in the most exclusive diplomatic
circles in Europe, which, as everybody
knows, is the most brilliant in the world.
When the new home was completely deco
rated she gave an elaborate dinner, and that
attracted the newspapers. They began to
talk about her highness, printed portraits Of
her, and devoted page occasionally in the
Sunday editions. She became something Of
a rage. One morning 1t was announced that
the Princess Parlova would give a masked
ball to formally open her home to society;
and it was this notice that first brought the
Princess Parlova under Braine's eyes. He
was at the Perigoff apartment at the time.
"Well, well!" he unused aloud.
"vhat is it?" asked Olga, turning away
from the piano and ending one of Chopin's
mazurkas brokenly.
"Here is the Princess Parlova in town."
"And who is she?"
She is the real thing, Olga; a real
princess with vast estates in Poland with
which the greedy Slav next door has been
very gentle"
II haven't paid much attention to the
social news lately. What about herr"
''She is giving a masked ball to formally
open her house the west side. And it's
going to cost a pretty penny"
"Wsl, you're not telling me this to make
me want to know the princess" said Olga,
petulantly.
mo. But I'm going to give you a letter
of introduction to her highness.'
"OI"
"And you are going to ask her to invite

Indeed" ironically. THAT sounds all
very easy"

"Well, then, Olga"
"That's better. Now, how will it be cas-
Ter than think?"
Simply this, the Princess Parlova IS an
oath bound member, but has not been active
for years"
"Oho!" Olga was all animation now.
go on!"
"You will go to her with a letter of in
troduction-no! Better than that, you win
make formal call and show her this ring.
You know the ring" he said, passing the
talisman to the countess. =" Show this to her
and she win obey you in everything. She
will have alternative"
Every good" replied Olga. And then
the program is to insist that she invite Flor

And go she did. The footman in green
livery hesitated for q moment, but the title
ON the visiting card was quite sufficient. He
bowed the countess into the reception room
and went in search Of his distinguished mis-
tress.

woman verging upon middle age. She was
a patrician; Olga's n-eye discerned that
instantly. She came into the reception

would have impressed any one as genuine
