big factory room. AS though
the virus of poison ivy
worked in the blood of her
face, jealousy distorted her
features. The veins bulged
at her temples. Her color was
livid.
"I hate you! Oh, l just
hate you!" ground from be-
tween her teeth.
The elevator door changed
shut. The cage fell swiftly.
Suddenly the electric lights
were switched off; the spring
dusk filled the empty third
floor. Still Jeanette gripped
the edge of her desk; still
her eyes stared straight ahead
down the aisle.
THEN footsteps clattered
up the back stairs. The
rear door burst open. Joe
strobe across the floor to the
forewoman's desk. Jeanette
rose from her chair stiffiy and
with nervously shaking fingers
began putting away her shop
orders.
"Jane, what did that fellow
McBundy say to your Steke-
tee demanded harshly.
She laughed in his face for
answer.
Joe clutched her arm. He
thrust his blazing eyes close
to the coldly scornful orbs
that cleaned at him in the
half dark. "Did he ask you
to meet him tonight he
snarled. .#
She ierked herself free.
"Supposing he did," she
spat. "How is that any

ahead into the interminable distance.
She dragged herself to her feet and began
plodding along it YEARLY.
Lizzie, take these inspection reports
to the Office"
Jeanette did not let her hard eyes stray
from her department during the next
half-hour. She went about her work
grimly until the six o'clock whistle blew.
McBundy's stunning blow 70 her pride
had the effect of partial anodyne. She
was just beginning to feel the terrible
pain at her heart. A spasm Of agony
wrenched her white lips as she stared after
the last cluster of girls that crowded into
the elevator.
She saw Wilhelmina, and forgot Nc
Bundy when she remembered Joe.
She Wrthed in her chair alone in the

Then they went into Barker's
sanctum for a long conference.
The forewoman meanwhile
held herself aloof from the
tickle foreman. But she
watched Joe like a hawk.
Twice that afternoon she saw
him pause briefly at the front
corner work bench and speak
to the pretty winder. Both
times Wilhelmina looked up
into his face with happy
bushes.
A LITTLE after five o'clock,
when Jeanette sat at her
desk in a despairing rage at
the long delay of her reprisal
for Joe's flirting, a voice at
her shoulder startled her to
her feet.
Isn't this Miss Die

AIcBundy had come up to
her desk alone. Jeannette
Redeemed with veXation at her
self for being taken by sur
prise after all her cxpectant
waiting. Then she gulped
and jerked back into sang
froid. AS she held out her
hand to the Eastern man
ager, she glanced beyond him
to the front of the long
room. She chuckled. The
foreman was scowling at her
over the railing round his
desk.
You did scare me a little,
she admitted merrily; "but I'll
forgive you, seeing you look
so innocent.
McBundy squeezed her
plump. pink fingers in his
slender palm. He retained
her hand while he put
question: "lou know who |

chicvously. She wanted to
show him something too.
McBundy threw back his
head and laughed SO heartily

that distant Joe strained toward her
over his railing like an enraged bulldog
at the end of his chain. But, though she
thrilled with the realization that she
had shown" him, that keen satisfac-
ton was secondary now. The ardent
look in McBundy's gray eyes, the dulcet
sound of his voice, the tingling touch of
his hand, electrified her. She did not
need to act happy!
And your very humble slave, the gal
liant New Yorker added to the titles she had
dubbed him with. After another lingering
pressure of her fingers he reluctantly let
them slip from his grasp I'm mighty
glad to meet you and to find your

Id got an idea you We're just IA sort of
nfallible testing machine.

BOMBS GET FASHIONABLE
 IN WASHINGTON STATE,
Water Mains of Blaine Dynamited and Believed to be Due to
 Cannery Trouble.

BELLINGHAM, July 29.-The water main of Blaine has been dynamited and the city is now with out water. It is believed that the dynamiting was done as a protest against the employment of foreigners in the canneries. EOme time ago the cannery employees threatened to strike and on a few occasions gathered in- to a threatening mob but the trouble seemed to have almost disappeared after the cannery owners expressed a willingness to employ home labor. Since that time nothing has been done however, and it is now supposed that the dynamiting was resOrted to for the purpose of bringing the matter up again.

PLANS OF KINGSLEY
 ACCEPTED FOR SCHOOLS.
Cost of School Improvements Will be Nearly Five Thousand
 Dollars. ..

The city council has accepted the plans of Architect William Kingsley for the additional school building and he has been directed to draw up the detailed plans and specifications so that bids may be called for. The school board met yesterday afternoon and later met the school committee of the council when the board recom- mended the adoption of, or, rather, ex- pressed preference for, the plans sub mitted by Mir. Kingsley. The council afterwards met with the result stat ed. Five sets. of plans were submit ted. Some of them were plans that entailed a smaller cost. Mir. Kingsley estimates the cost of the work after his owns plans at something like $4,- 500 or $5,OOO. The plans of Mir. Win stadt meant a cost of less than three thousand dollars but it is stated that while Mir. Winstadts plans would mean economy the idea is to make inn provements with view to a greater Seward. The finding of the money has not yet been gone into apparently.

TOLOYANA REPORTS
 BETTER THAN EVER.

FAIRBANKS.-Never has the out look for the Tolovana district looked brighter than it does today, is the report that was brought to town by a number of mining men who have in- terests in the new district. This opinion is not that of one man only, out is concurred in by all of the late arrivals from LivengOod creek.
 Clarence Dorhinger, who started for the TOlovana with Jim SheTard, and who was thought for a time to have met with an accident on the trail, was among those who returned last evening. He reports that pay has been lined up practically all the way from the mouth of LivengoOd creek to it's source, and all of the pay is orkable.-Times.

GERMANS SEE DANGER

CARRANZA CAPTURES
 TOWN OF PACHUCA. Mexico City Needs Assistance and Washington Will Try to
 Render H.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Car- ranza has captured the town of Pachuca after quite a battle with the Villa troops. It has been found that Mexico City faces famine and needs immediate assistance so the United States government has asked both Carranza and Villa for permission to ship food in there. If the permission is granted it is expected that very large shipments will be made. It is thought now that another effort to se- cure a peace conference between the hostile Mexican chiefs will be success ful. Some information of a private kind has been obtained that bears out this belief.

 GREAT BRITISH ISSUE
CHRISTENSEN THINKS
 THE LOTS SOLD WELL Next Sale of the Anchorage Real Estate Will Take Place
 August 14.

Andrew Christensen, agent of the general land office and auctioneer for Uncle Sam, stated today that the lots at Anchorage brought higher prices that he had expected. The next sale will take place on August IA, to be exact. Mir. Christensen says only a few lots will be sold to people who are now in the neighborhoOd and need them. He also said that the people are moving into the new city fast. On the very day the sale was con cluded one man opened business in the government city, and shortly after wards two restaurants and other busi- ness houses became establisehd. Like others, he takes exception to the statements that people are slow to move in. He thinks, on the contrary
 that they are building Anchorage up fast. When asked for his opinion as to the probable future population of Anchorage the agent of the land of flee grinned, and grinned again before saving twenty thousand" Asked 1T he would like to be quoted as saying so he smoled another smile and said something that might be translated into "nixey." In all seriousness Mr. Christensen did not have any opinion to express about the future of the town. He will return to Anchorage on the Alameda.

GOOD CLEANUP ON OLD CLEARY

FAIRBANKS.-Word was received from Chatanika that Magnusson < Co.,, working on Vedin & Nolan's ground, IS below, Cleary creek, had made $9,OOO cleanup. The cleanup represented 20 days work of 20 men. The operators are we'll pleased with the showing made.
 Within a short time the operators will put on a larger crew of men, and as they have enough pay blocked out to keep them busy for the balance Of the summer, they expect to take out many thousands of dollars.
 There are a number of outfits work ing on Cleary creek now and all in good pay, and as there are more men employed than there were in 1914, the output is expected to be larger.-Fair- banks Times,

NEW YORK, July SO.-"Jesus have mercy on us," prayed Becker, the former lieutenant of police, as the fatal current was turned on this morn ing at $50 o'clock and sent him inEO eternity. He came to the char steadily and sat unhinching as the final preparations were made. Dur ing that awful period he prayed quietly and his last words were those quoted. They were plainly audible but uttered in calm tones. After the execution it was found that he left a statement protesting his innocence of the murder of Rosenthal. Last night his wife made a touching ap- peal to the governor and the execut- i've was deeply affected but he re- mained firm.

Nation Divided in Opinion as to Whether Citizens Should be Made to Fight or not.
CONSCRIPTION MAY WIN.

LONDON, July 3O-Since the debate in the house of commons on the day before yesterday the subject of scrpon has become the chief topic in the country It is reported that Lloyd George is opposed to the proposal and at the present time he is of the three greatest fig in British public life. Owing to the hold which he has secured on the masses his word is almost law with them and on his decision may depend the outcome. The wealther people, rather the landed propretors are a most unanimously in favor of conscrptiOn and the work CTS are almost firmly opposed If it depended on vote conscrpton would lose but the members of parliament are expected to vote in many instances in direct oppos ton to the wishes of their constituents The from the Russian front is accepted meaning that terrific German onslaught may be looked for in the west soon To meet it vastly larger army will be needed and this consideration may carry conscrptiOn through.
