With a sharp intake OF his breath, the
fellow, q ruddy-faced, thick-necked,
full-lipped young man who had fol-
lowed her with his eyes all evening.
suddenly turned, and caught her in his
embrace.
Gail. turning, hurried out OF the side
door to the veranda. Her knees were
trembling, but the fresh, cold air
steadied her, and she walked the full
length of the wide porch. trying in
stinctively to forget the sickening hu-
initiation. She was near window,
and, advancing step. she looked in.
1t was the library, and Allison sat
there, so clean and wholesome look
ing, with his pink shaven face and his
white evening waistcoat, and his dark
hair beginning to sprinkle with gray
at the temples. He was so sturdy and
SO strong and so dependable looking.

and rang the bell.

by the way. there's one thing for
got to tell you, Babbitt, and it's rather
important" He hesitated and glanced
toward the door. You'll excuse me
just half a minute, won't you. Gail?"
She had noticed that assumption Of
intimate understanding in him before.
and she had secretly admired 1t. Now
1t was a comfort and Joy.
Surely" she granted. and passed
on in to the library alcove, a sheltered
nook where she was glad to be alone,
to rescue herself from the whirl OF
anger, and Indignation, and humilia-
tion-above all, humiliation-which
had swept around her. Her face was
hot and cold by turns, and she was al
most on the point of crying. in spite
of her constantly reiterated self-ad
monishment that she must control her
self here. when Allison came to the
door OF the alcove.
"All right, GAIL" he said laconically.
She felt suddenly weary, but she
rose and Joined him. When she
slipped her hand in his arm. strong,
and warm. and pulsing, she was aware
of a thrill from it, but the thrill was
just restfulness.
"You look a little tired" judged the
practical Allison, as they strolled. side
by side, into the hall, and he patted
the slender hand which lay on his
arm.

unconsciously she snuggled her hand
more comfortably into its resting
place. A little sigh escaped her lips,
deep.drawn and Huttering. 1t was q
sigh of content.

NOME SEES GREAT
 DAYS AHEAD AGAIN

NOME, Oct. 1.-Two of the most remarkable strikes in the history of Alaska have just been made in this camp. One is a placer strike at Solomon which means nothing less than the picking up of a new Third beach line and the other is a strike of quartz on Boulder creek which has resulted in the uncovering of ore that has more gold than rock in places. Halla and Harvey are the discOverers of the Solmon property. One Is Otto Hala who has been in the district for many years and has made important locations. At the time of sending this
 dispatch the exact details of the value of the srike have not been learned and all that can be told is that it is quite a distance inland and IS very rich.

NO NEWS FROM
 MELVIN DEMPSEY. Believed that He Was Swept to His Death While Trying to Ford Some of the Streams.

VALDEZ, Sept. S0.-It is feared that the fate of Melvin Dempsey, whO disappeared while en route from Pax tons roadhouse to Slate creek, several weeks ago, will never be known and that his disappearance is another of the tragedies which have ended the life of so many of the venturesome uen who are pioneering Alaska.
 Arthur McNeer, the we'll known oldtimer along the coast and in the interior, who spent several days in company with a Signal Corps man searching for trace of Dethpsey, has returned to Valdez and expresses the belief that Dempsey was swept off his feet and drowned while crossing some stream. Just previous to Dempsey's leaving on the trip heavy rains had tallen and the rivers were running bank full and rendered fording ex- vemely difficult.
 Melvin Dempsey was one of the pioneers of Valdez and was the dis coverer of Slate creek, which has yielded a great store of the precious yellow metal He still owned valu- able property in the district and was endeavoring to finance the installation of a hydraulic plant on the ground and the trip from which he has fail ed to return was being made for the purpose of securing additional data concerning the ground and flow of water in the stream.-(Valdez Pros pector.)
