men should want In his office-won-
dered. whether he had been recognized
there in spite of the secluded table he
had picked to escape observation. Was
it possible that this young bounder had
seen him talking with the dancing girl,
and recognizing him from his numer-
GUS pictures in the paper, had come
up here to be ugly possibly with an
attempt at intimidation-at blackmail?
He was alarmed for the moment, but
was quickly treasured as the tiny
eyed one told his story.
"Are you Mr.. Bell, the district at
torney?"
"No. Mr.. Bell has been called sud-
denly away, and won't be back until
the morning. I'm the assistant dis
trict attorney-acting district attorney
at the present time!"-here, Bells
words acting district attorney in
name only" flashed across his mind
and made his cheeks fush-"My
names Mason-Ellis Mason. Can l

"Well, you'll do" said the pink-faced
one, in hard patronizing voice. Its

Here he told Ellis the story: told
him the story he already knew, told

take it up with Mason where, for us,

fact that he was keenly alive to every
move in the room.
The music again started, this time
in a brisk, accentuated tarantelle;
there was flash of red from behind
the palms, clicking of castanets, and
out on the raised dais flashed a slim
Wisp of girl, and flung herself with
abandon into the spirited dance of
Spain. Her face wore rapt, set smile
as Of perpetual pleasure, her every
motion betraying how we'll she loved
this rhythmic expression-her express
sion of the beautiful The music ceased
suddenly, bravely, in a spirited crash
mixed with the smart double-stamp of
4-ia dancers heels on the floor, and the
thrilling cluck of the castanets-there
was again that subdued applause
again the resumption of conversation,
and the dancer, painting and flushed
beneath her rouge, came down from
I the dais, and curtsying Familiarity,
threaded her way between the tables.
She stopped at one with word of
familiar greeting on her lips and sat
down.
The young man in the corner
watched her and her companion as
the gliding waiter carefully wiped the
bottoms of their liquor glasses and set
them down. The girl seemed laugh
ingly to propose a toast that met with
the approval of her friend, who
laughed heartily. The man she was
seated with was a flabby, pink-faced,
tiny-eyed individual, his light brown
hair combed smoothly back over his
head and accentuating lack Of fore
head that he had done better to have
left covered. The second drink was
brought. disposed of in as short order
as the first, and the girl again seemed
trying to persuade the tiny-eyed man
across the table. His wayering was

Sid Dodge's place was running full
blast. Courteous, obsequious walters
slid soft-footed from table to kitchen
and back again, bearing in their
miraculous arms dishes adroitly
chefed for the dissipated palates Of
epicureans-drinks cunningly mixed
by the highest priced experts in the
city. No expense was spared at Sid
Dodge's place-the stakes were toe
big to skimp on the details that made
\ for tone.
The room was filled with the strange
murmur Of many voices, high, low,
soft, musical, harsh, droning-all con-
tributing to an incessant mingling
drum so meaningless in the abstract
so pregnant with meaning in each in
dividual group. Bright lights made
soft by artful globes hung suspended
from the frescoed ceilings by massive
linked chains; and mingled their mel
lowed radiance with the rose-colored
glow of the numerous silk-shaded lamps
that dotted the tables, and made pale
faces seem glowing and warm. Luxu-
rious carpets catered to daintily
shod feet; bright silver cleaned in
well groomed hands and clicked an &C.
compartment to the incessant click Of
Iong-stemmed, bubbling glasses.
In one end Of the room, from be-
hind a line of spreading palms, rose
the rhythmic pulsing, passion-laden
strains of Pagliacci, and died out in
plaintive wall of cello and VOL, as
though surfeited with the luxury Of
its own sweet sadness-died out amid
the appreciative applause of subdued
clapping and the slightly swelled MUIR
muir of approving voices.
No one seemed surprised when
low, artifcjallE'cSRstructed door in the
IVA wall near the palms swung back on
noiseless hinges, and young man
entered in evening dress. Why should
they? They had all come in that way
all this well-groomed company of
dissipated midnight diners, past the
watchful, scrutinizing gaze Of the
lookout on the silent street, down a
fight of dark steps, up another flight
that twisted and wound its way to
that noiseless door-A foul stem BIOS
soming exotically in that dining room
of mingled rose colored lights, soft
voices and sweet music.
To the young man who took unno-
ticed his place at snug table in a far
corner, the artificiality Of all this
superluxury was Immediately evident.
The richness of the room so out Of
keeping with its dark approach-the
flushed, eager faces Of the diners, the
too courteous solicitude of the oily
walters, pointed Enthusiastically to some
secret vice as yet unseen. He gave
his order to a deferential waiter, and
again turned his attention to the room
and its guests, his deep-set, Swallowed
eyes and pale, thoughtful, distracted
expression concealing effectively the

and the iron entered deeper into his
soul.
Marion" he cried out wildly.
Marion, oh Marion, you don't believe
them?"
But the echoes Of his mad, despair
ing cry were the only answer he re-
ceived.
Sid Dodge wrestled madly, fearfully
with the woman before him, in the,
rear room of his cafe. She broke
loose once, and with fierce, wild ges-
ture, took up great vase and
brought it down with terrific force
on his shoulder, just missing his head.
He closed with her and took her both
soft yielding arms in his gripping fin
gers and slowly forced her back into
a chair.
Slowly the struggling figure in his
grasp relaxed, and became limp in the.
chair. Slowly there pervaded that
face a horrible agony of powerless
despair. Once her hands raised and
tried to cover her face, and her
shoulders hunched as she shrank deep
into the chair as though trying to
separate herself from the dread Of
her thoughts. Thoughts of the man
she had ruined, the girl whose dream
OF love she had blighted, thoughts Of
the putrid vileness Of her own lying
soul! And now the light, and the
realization that she would have ever
more to pay!
That evening Charles ellison spoke
long and earnestly alta meeting Of the
Commonwealth club, ION the necessity
for sincerity in all Of life's undertake
ings.

world. And now we shall see how the
plot worked out.
vi
The next night Ellis and Marion
took long ride in his motor car.
They returned late, and he fingered a
few fond minutes before leaving her at
her stoop. He came back toward his
car, whistling softly, happily to him
self, his hands stuck deep in his
trousers pockets, his mind lost in the
reverie kis whistling belied.
A short sharp cry, as if Of someone
in urgent distress, brought him back
to consciousness of outward things,
and he looked up in startled surprise
to see young woman staggering on
the sidewalk, as If about to fall.
He rushed up and caught her quick
~, half carrying her back to the stoop
from which he had come. The woman
had deep black veil on, a veil that
entirely concealed her face; but she
was otherwise dressed in unrelieved
black, SO the veil was not provocative
Of any thought on his part.
IF you will come into this house,
miss, we can send for DOCTOR"
ooh, I'm all right, thank you," she
said weakly. Just a weak spell. l
get them often. / won't trouble you
further. You're very kind. / will go
home" She started to walk away
from him, but again staggered weakly
as though about to fall and was again
caught and steadied by Mason.
He helped her into his automobile
and started for her apartment on the
upper West side. She seemed to grow
worse as they went along, and when
they arrived her seeming plight made
it necessary that he carry her up the
stairs.
When they arrived at her room
after painful climbing Of steps she
suddenly recovered sufficiently to rise
and take off her hat and veil, and he
was shocked and incredulous at rec
ognizing Clarice Adair, dancing girl of
the cafe he had raided two nights be-
fore. Her recovery was now extraor-
dinarily rapid, and he was suddenly
panic-stricken as a realization Of what
this all meant came upon him. She
smiled at him mockingly as she be-
gan to take off her outer garments.
He had not long to realize, however,
for in another moment the door was
thrown rudely open, and two men
entered.
"You will come with u.s." one Of
them said, shortly.
"But, I"
1--WE cannot listen to explanations.
Besides" looking meaningly at the
half-dressed woman in the corner,
I'm afraid you'd have rather job

The plot of ellison and his tools had
worked.

GROWS SHAMELESS POTATOES

Stalkless potato plants, which can. not be destroyed by bugs, are being grown by R. W. Guiton, of Muzette, Pa.
 Guiton has q large fruit and truck farm, on which he has been expert menting ill the horticultural line for years. For the last several years he has been working on a potato plant that would grow the potatoes the some as the ordinary vine, but would de velop little stalk above the earth. That he has succeeded is proved ny several rows of growing potatoes which show but little vegetation a- bove the ground
 The roots and crop of potatoes springing from the seed potatoes are plentiful and large but it could never hc told by small green leaves which just peep out of the earth.
 Guiton says that his new potato plant will be known as the "bug- less brand," owing to the fact that the bugs can in no way injure it.

agation, and in view of your inti nation that it would not be practic able to replant the fry in Ketchikan creek, because of the inadequacy of the building here for winter work, 1 deem it advisable that no eggs be taken from this stream unless liber ated in the same waters.
 The reasons, l think, are apparent to you as it is well known that the supply of fish is and has been grad ually diminishing in this stream for several years and to take from it's waters sufficient number of fish for hatchery purposes and liberatc the fry in other waters would de- plete the supply in a very short time.
 l may say that l am more than gratified to know that hatchery work is no longer to be prosecuted in this stream, and that the Bureau readily recognized the merits of the obiec- tion filed and has so promptly taken action in the matter.
 Your foreman showed me a copy of d letter addressed to me by the Bureau upon this subject, but l have not yet received the original
 Thanking you for your personal in. terest in the matter, l remain yours very respectfully,

 MISCoNSEPrIoN OF CLIMATE
 It is strange that such general misconception of Alaska s climate should prevail. At Ketchikan I met q very intelligent mechanic who had come from Cleveland, Ohio, year ago He told me, and I confirmed his statement, that the lowest temper ature ill Ketchikan last winter was eight above zero, and that the fresh, clear invigorating air had given him q complete restoration of health and added 20 pounds to his weight.

 "Confer with Mayor, Ketehikan, regarding Humpback wor ar range to hatch all eggs and plant fry in Ketchikan creek if allotment will permit no eggs to be shipped to other stations.o
 am very busy collecting eggs here and can not conveniently go to town just now but have instructed my fore man. who is in charge of the work in Ketchikan, to come up Wednesday, and talk the matter over. He will be instructed to comply with your wish es as regards the handling of the Humpback salmon in Ketchikan creek. If it is the desire of the citizens of Ketehikan to stop operations, the foreman will be instructed to do so. To hold and hatch the eggs in Ketchikan and hold the fry until they are of the proper age to liberate, will be very expensive, besides the build ing we are using is not suitable for winter operations.
 If any complaints had come to me before making arrangements to col lect eggs in Ketehikan creek, l would have taken the matter up with the Washington office at once, but noth- ing had been said to me until You approached me on the street.
 l am expecting a letter from the Washington office any day re, garding operating Ketchikan creek.

The excursion rate from Seat tie to Knik (and once month, fur ther on, to Kodiak) is $l00 first class including sateroom berth and four meals a day. The last meal is supper at nine o'clock. For shorter distances to ports on the way, pro portionate rates are charged.

The menu on the Admiral Watson took on special items of epicurean interest at some of the landing places. As we left Ketchikan we were regaled with delicious small fishes, much like smclts, which steward Leonard found at this place. At another point we were supplied with most delicious deep sea black cod, and still further on the steward came across a basket l full of mountain trout fresh from an anglers reel and they graccd the board at dinner the same evening.

 NEEDED FOR THE TRIP For an excursion to Alaska you need nothing warmer than you do for a trip across the Atlantic. \ light | overcoat or a raincoat and sweater may come in handy on the breezy side of the steamer now and then, but there will be times when your summer garments will feel more than you need. If your eXcursin takes you away from the coast and into the cooler mountainous interior, of course you will need your warmest clothing, especially at night.
 WELL RECEIVED AT KETCHIKAN :, Ketchikan, the first stop of our boat, two and half days out from Seattle, is perched on a side hill, the main buildings OH the principal street running parallel with the water. They are built on piles as the tide runs high. It was strange to sec the hillside dotted with dwellings from top to bottom. It was a picturesque and fascinating sight. Ketchikan is a leading fish center with large salmon cannery and cold storage fish house in which 1 saw halibut and 1 salmon frozen stiff as boards and | piled mp as compactly as cord wood in clean, sweet chambers at zero ! temperature. The small herring used as bait are frozen in bales like hay, and cold-storaged away for summer fishing. The halibut and salmon are always given dip in clear fresh water before being frozen and thus age glazed with protective coating of ice.
