One day John ordered BIadge to
blacken his boots. She obeyed, and
when she handed them to him he swore
at her for not having taken off the dirt
before putting on the polish and struck
her. 1t happened that young man. n
graduate of Il school of mines who had
come out to investigate some mining
property. was walking through the
camp and saw the blow. He had been
an athlete of promise in his college
days and quite capable of handling
several men such as John both for
courage and physical strength. Walk

/ in the face.
J Take that for striking woman" he
said
| John glared at him. but did not re-
I turn the blow. Tucker, the man who
had cuffed him, stood for a few mo-
ments waiting for what was to follow.
then, since nothing followed, said To
Madge, IF he illtreats you again let
me know" and walked away.

took possession. Inwardly the story
will tell what il was; outwardly it
showed itself in cleanliness. She wash
ed the dirt off her face. combed her
hair and sewed together the rents in
her garments.
The mining engineer was obliged TO
spend some time in the camp. He was
much eugrosSed in his work and was
not man TO take an interest in any
thing except that pertaining TO min
ing camp The next time he saw

the first time in her life n sad express
sion came over her face. but she passed
on. and Tucker passed on, Ignorant
that he had caused her as much pain
as he had before caused her pleas I
ure.
y few days later Tucker was stop /
ped by Madge. He looked at her with !
Il puzzled expression, but this time /
she was not frightened away. She had /
something TO say, and she said il.

what galoot?"

Yes"
She looked at him earnestly. but

did not. However. Tucker understood

Yesterday afternoon Collector Stack.
able received rather curt cablegram
from Secretary McAdoo in which he
requested the collectors resignation
by cable, that the step was taken In
the interests of the service but that
no reflection upon Mr.. Stackable's
character was implied. While the
collector did not wish to discuss the
matter today in any detail, 1t IS learn
ed that he adheres to his previous
determination not to resign and is SO
informing Secretary McAdoo by cable.
He takes the position that to quit on
such terms would be equivalent to an
admission of misconduct in office or
ineompetency.
Collector Stackable's term expires
on. August /, 1916. Shortly after Pre-
sident Wilson took office, news was
sent out from Washington that fed
eral officers who were competent and
deserving would be allowed to serve
their terms out, even though Republi-

Stackable Is generally taken as evi-
dence that some office-seeker on the
mainland has been slated for the local
position.
The commercial bodies have al
ready affirmed their support of Mr.
Stackable and nearly 200 local firms
