real tears in her melting brown eyes.
"You don't love me, then" he said
gloomily.
1T Is hard not to-" she sighed.
He caught her slender hand. Then
don't try not to, Leo" he pleaded pas
sionately.
She shook her head, wait awhile"
she temporized.
So Jack was forced to wait, and
still people whispered that Leo Lins-
colt would capture Jack Follinbee
after all and he wondered what they
meant. Any one could see that she
didn't care a nip for him. He was al
ways at her train, picking UP careless
word concerning her attendance at
dance or house party and shamelessly
arranging to be there, too.
Jack finally followed much talked
about plan and went up to the White
mountains for a month. He was as
founded to find Leo Linscott dining on
the broad veranda of the hotel when
he reached his destination.
She looked so surprised to see him
there that Jack was wretchedly asham-

The next morning she had gone for

Jack followed her and found her look

clouds below.

hind her.
A rich color famed her cheek end
her eyes shone, while her voice was
not entirely in her control.

TOO long," she confessed IN his
arms. II have been yours since the
first moment set eyes on YOU"
It was during their honeymoon, pass
ed in a southern resort, that Jack once
more heard the whisper of spiteful gos-'
sip. His hammock was swung under
some palms near the beach and Leo
was sitting on the sand near by picking
up Suells.
Two women in a wheeled chair STOP

The white chair moved on, and Jack
in a white rage, lay staring at his
wife's back.
Leo must have heard too. He slipped
from the hammock and approached
her. He glimpsed her cheek; 1t was
scarlet. Even her little ears were red
with embarrassment.

She stood clutching a moth-eaten

Two bachelors looked pityingly at
Jack and the three married men chuck
led wisely.
Shall we join the ladies?" asked
the host suddenly.
They filed into the broad veranda
overlooking the sound. Here was
glimmer of white gowns and soft fem
mime laughter. A Japanese servant
was serving coffee.
Jack sank into a chair beside Mrs.
Linscott. He had met her only two
hours ago, but he was strangely at
tracted by her pretty fragility - her
charming air of dependence upon the
other sex. He was quite bored by the
strong, Independent type of girl.
He thought it delightfully."- odd that
she had never tasted coffee. They
talked about it, and he asked her If
she knew Bob Linscott. Bob proved
to be her dead husbands brother; he
had been Jacks chum at college. They
grew. more friendly and told amusing
stories Of school days. She said her
name was Leonora, but they had al
ways called her Leo. And Jack consid-
cred that the GROWING touch to her
many charms.
"The wildly sure has Jack on the
rum" slangily remarked Finley Moore.
Jack overheard the observation and
flushed holly. He had just returned
from putting Mrs. Linscott into her mo-
tor. He shrugged impatiently at the
remark Any one could see at glance
he told himself, that Leo Linscott be-
longed to the elusive type of women.
The man who won her must pursue her
gently, weaving his net of love subtly,
to capture this daintiest of butterflies.
AS for pursuing him, as Moore had
coarsely suggested, she had not even
responded to his timid inquiry if he
might call. She had merely looked
dreamily at the moons reflection on
the waves, and she appeared so lovely
in that mood that he had not risked
breaking into her thoughts by repeat
ing the question.
"Shall you be at the Whittakers to-
morrow night?" he asked at parting.
She shook her lovely auburn head
II wanted to, but I had promised Cice-

Christmas--Biblical and Bibulous

If the secret of humor is incongruty, as is often
asserted then there is vast deal of Unconscious
humor in The Champion of Fair Play. In its Christ
mas issue, along with quotations from the Bible and
Sir Walter Scott it publishes "Christmas Ode" con-
tanning this stanza
Fill high the flowing bowl,
And circle round the table;
Come, each joval SOUL
Be happy while you're able.
Jolly god of wine
Thy sons great Bacchus,

For number of years it has been impossible to accomodate all the ma. tive children who have applied for admission. The faculty includes Is men and women. Instruction is giv- en as far as the eighth grade and provision is to be made for a high school course as it is required. Do- meStic science and manual training, are emphasized. Carpentry. boat building. management of gasoline en- zines. steam-fitting. blacksmithing, brass and copper manufacture, as well as dress making, cookery, etc. are among the practical accomplish ments taught.
 With the increasing importance of the Territory and its growth the Pres. byterian church plans to keep pace. New fields will be occupied and new missions established as the de mands require and funds permit. It is the purpose of the Presbyterian Board to maintain and increase the work instituted g years ago.
The Alaska daily empire., 1915-01-01

The Presbyterian Church was the first protestant organization to es tablish missions in Alaska. Through the instrumentality of Dr. Sheldon Jackson. who was so long associated with the educational and religious work of the Northwest and who was the first agent of the Bureau of Edu. cation and the first superintendent of missions in Alaska. Mrs. \. R. Mcfarland was sent to Wrangell in 1878. and established d school and mission there. The following wear Rev. J. G. Brady. afterwards Cover nor, and Dr. s. Hall Young. now of New York. were commissioned as the first ordained ministers to this Ter ritory. the former going to Sitka and the latter to Wrangell.
 From this small beginning the work has expanded until it now includes IS churches with membership of l443. and 21 Sunday Schools with a membership of 1867. There are also supported by the Board G3 unorgan- ized missions. Work is carried on among of the , native tribes of AL aska extending from Point Barrow on the North to Ketchikan on the South. The Point Barrow mission is the most northerly in the world. The Board of Home Missions expends in the neighborhood of $65.O0O per year in the support of it's various mis- sions in Alaska. This is in addition to the amount which is raised local ly.
 In addition to the regular religious work as outlined above the Presby- terian church sustains the most con- plete hospital maintained in Alaska for natives. the institution at Haines.
 It also supports the largest school for native children in Alaska, the Sheldon Jackson schoo! at Sitka. Children are gathered here from 1G of the villages of the native popula- tion. Last year there was an enroll ment of 140 and this is to be in creased during the coming winter.

 The Northern Light Presbyterian Church was dedicated last Sunday, January 29. GSS9 in the presence of large congregation.
