CHAPTER XIX.
The First Victory.

The First Victory.
When Grace re-entered the parlor
to find Hamilton Gregory alone, her
eyes were full of reproach without
tenderness. AS she came straight
toward him.. an open letter in her
hand, his body grew erect. and his
brown eyes, losing their glazed light.
burned from the depths.
Read it." Grace said, in a thin.
brittle voice.
In taking the letter. Gregory touched
her hand. With recaptured alertness,
he held the missive to the light, and
read:
MY Dear Miss Noir:
''This is to officially offer you the
position of bookkeeper at my grocery
store, now that Hamilton Gregory has
decided to make Fran his secretary.
Come over early in the morning and
everything will be arranged to your
satisfaction. am,
ROBERT CLINTON"
Gregory looked up, and marked
the fixedness of her gaze. 1t seemed

Mr.. Gregory. Fran hasn't any in

Il love you. Grace-I adore you.
Beautiful darling-don't you see you
must go away because you are SO in
expressibly precious to me? That's
why l mustn't have you under my
roof" He sank upon his knees and
caught her hand. "See me at your
feet-should this thing be?"
Grace coldly withdrew her hand.
'In spite of all you say. you have en-
gagged Fran in my place."

Grace's voice suddenly vibrated:

But others would see. Others

After all, you know. there is room

LOVE is NEVER BLIND
Little God May Do Strange
Things, but His Eyesight Is
of the Best.

n EFORE Miriam became engaged tc
n marry Fred she had heard much
and read more about love. Love
is this; love is that; love" is the
other thing. Love" gives all; love"
demands sacrifices; love" spells hap
piness; love" means misery, and 30
on through long list Of possible and
impossible conditions.
Being perfectly normal man. Fred
had certain faults.
Some of them were glaring, but Mir
lam, If she saw them at all, forgave
them because she loved him.
A friend said: "Miriam.I don't see
how you can endure Fred. He's SC
full of faults. But l suppose love is
blind and you don't notice his short
comings"
Then it was that Miriam consulted
Aunt Anna.
''Is love blind, auntie. dear?" said
she. "Or does it give one an insight
into the real charm and goodness un-
seen by others?'
THAT depends, child, upon the kind
of love, and also upon the individ-
ual.
Surely from the. many 'misfits,' thS
many unsuitable matches we see, i
am inclined to say that love is not
only blind, but deaf and dumb as we'll.
You remember, my dear. Jim Mer-
lin. an avowed worshiper of beauty,
married Ellen Short, one of the home
Hest girls in the village.
I'VE see beautiful women marrying
perfect frights-coarse, ignorant men
and one scarcely can pick up a pa
per but one sees a story of an heiress
eloping with chauffeur or groom, a
boy marrying a woman old enough to
be his grandmother. or a sweet young
debutante selling herself to the an
cient millionaire"
1T seems to me the only way we
can account for these vagaries of senri-
ment is that Cupid has suddenly been
struck blind, or a long-distance tele-
scope enables him to see charms and
perfections in individuals that are quite
invisible to the rest of the world" re-
piled the younger
Miriam, you have often said of your
own friends: I cannot tell what on
earth she sees in that man to love;
he's such an impossible person No
doubt some of your friends say the
same thing of you and Fred.
Thus we go on pondering over this
mystery of love-love that comes with
out invitation, and sometimes goes we
know not where
Il think, dear, the truth of the mat
ter is that love between a man and
woman is purely a matter of attrac-
ton. and that neither eyesight nor
Judgment plays any part whatever.
We love or we hate by instinct. 1t
is not matter of head, but of the
heart.
"A woman may observe in a man
every admirable quality, yet she can
not love him; yet the man who pos
sesses many faults which she plainly
sees may win her love without even
trying to.
Men, you know, are curious ami
mails. One may pass by a woman who
Is endowed with all the virtues, the
accomplishment and the charm of
femininity, yet will marry a crude lit
tie butterfly of fashion with no claim
either to good looks or wisdom"

Fran! It's fortunate for me that
have one friend" She snatched vi
the open letter. and hurried toward
the door.
"Grace!" Gregory followed her
imploringly, mot Bob Clinton! Hear
me. Grace. If you ever marry that
man, l shall kill myself"
She laughed scornfully as she
snatched open the door.
Grace, tell you that Fran"
"Yes!" exclaimed the other. her
voice trembling with concentrated an
ger, "let that be the last word between
US, for it is that. and that only which
separates us. Yes-that Franz"

Official Paper
NOME. ALASKA, MAY 27, 1914

The announcement that many coal land claims which have been held uI by the general government will soon go to patent will be received by many in Alaska as good news. There has been too much investigation of the coal land frauds and not enough uf development of the mines themselves during the last few years. There has teen much unfavorable comment upon the policy pursued by former admin istrators in handling the coal lands of Alaska charging that it was a policy of locking up the resources of this country and retarding it's develop ment.
 It is hardly conceivable that any administration of whatever party would Intentionally and knowingly place obstructions in the way of de- veloping the resources of any portion of our country or wantoniy deprive the people of Alaska of those benefits which are 90 essential to their growth end development and which nature so lavishly furnished and made available tO them. Iris true that for several years Alaska has suffered and have protested that she was treated unfair iy by a policy which seemed to be in the interest sof remote generations instead of the pioneers who were mak- ing and developing great country but 1t must be remembered that in- vestieations by departments are nee. essariiy slow that courts are provero- ially slow and much time had to be taken to collect data and evidence be- fore the government could act anf| prevent the great coal supply of AL .aska falling into the hands of corpor- ate interests who. unlike the govern mont, are quick in action and quick to seize upon the natural resources of new country that they make, that country pay tribute to their greel. While the policy of the admlnistrn- ton and more particularly of the de- rartment of justice. meets with uni- versal approval, 1t must be rernem- bered that 1t is more than likely that the liberal policy towards Alaska at t:,is time would have come too latc had not former administration with drawn from entry the coal lands and thus prevented their falling into the -a.s. of the great corporate interests before our slow acting departments courts and congress could have effect ualiy checked them.

This Is not an American joke. Tho reader is solemnly warned that il is of German extraction. Germans. as everybody knows, like their jesta broad and brutal. The victim Of this one was Cousin Hugo.

Tho consequence, for Cousin Hugo h not 60 young as he used to be, was brok' on collarbone and a strained back.

curna Wood.

Wood has contagious diseases! A stick of wood in a lumber yard may be sick and infect other timbers, which later may develop the disease when they are supporting weights in a new building. Some of the diseases arc so contagious that in building they will jump several feet across masonry or brick to some stick of healthy wood Cures were recently discussed by the American Society of Mechanical En- gineers.
 Most of the diseases are varieties of dry rot caused by . fungus, and most of tho varieties of dry rot fungus can not stand heat much over 100 degrees: SO tho most likely cure is to close . building up tight. if any beams are in' fected, and heat 1t up to 120 or 140 de. grees. Even this is not always sue cessful, for ends of beams are buried in the outer brick walls and the heat may not reach them.-Saturday Eve ming Post.

says Ants Do Not Cooperate.

M. Cornetz, a practised observer o4 insect life. asserts that ants know nothing of cooperation in their soctal life. In proof he cites an experiment which any one can repeat. Offer an ant a piece of cheese shaped like a shuttle; 1t seizes the tip, turns it about and starts dragging 1t in the d. rection of it's nest. Other ants arrive and selze the cheese by its sides. It continues to advance, but more slowly. There is no united effort; each ant is trying to turn the crumb of cheese around. If we chase of the ants on the right the cheese will turn to the right, for the other ants are pushing 1t. Chase of those on the left and II turns to the left for the same reason. Chase of the one that is pulling 1t and 1t stands still, for the ants on each side counteract each other.
 M. Cornetz holds this proof that each ant is acting for himself alone.
