door, throwing it open and bending
her body to the gust that burst in upon
them.
He sprang after her, grasping her
arm to lead her across the icy plat
form to the automobile that stood in
the lee of the building.
Disdaining his command to enter
the tonneau, she stood beside the car
and waited until he cranked 1t and
took his place at the wheel. Then she
took her seat beside him and permit
ted him to tuck the great buffalo robe
about her. No word was spoken. The
man was stranger to her. She for

Into the thick of the storm the mo-

doorway and clumsily assisted her
from the car.

Drake II will join you in jlffy."
She walked between the two men
into the feebly lighted Office of the

SEATTLE, July 31.-Wireless mes- sages have been received here from Southeastern Alaska stating that the steamship Curacao, which sank in Warmchcuck bay more than one year ago. had been successfully raised and would sail south under her own steam.

BARBERY COAST
 |S COMING BACK Efforts Being Made to Have San Francisco Resorts Wide Open
 During the Exposition.

SAN FRANCISCO, July Elf forts are being made to have San Francisco a wide open city during the Panama-Pacific exposition. The police commissioners last night voted to remove the ban from dancing in up town cafes, but deadlocked on the question of permitting the Barbery Coast to reopen in all its former glory.
 The Barbery Coast was announced to have been closed several months ago, but although activities we're re- stricted the district was never really closed. The proprietors of the dis trict who had been forced out of business by the order objected to dancing being permitted in the up- town cafes and organized light to close all places where public danc- ing was indulged. For a short time dancing was stopped and the tango lovers were compelled to forego the latest steps during intervals in the service at the tables.
 Business conditions in San Fran cisco are not very brisk and the out look for a period of prosperity dur ing the exposition is not bright. The business men have been interested in the plan to secure a suspension of the orders closing the resorts in the hopes that their reopening will start something"
