Whats that?" demanded Brainard,
looking at the box in the window, as
Kennedy moved over toward it.
"A pigeon trap, | suspect" Craig re-
piled. Let's wait"
They sat there for several minutes.
Evidently the Chinese had been wait
ing for something. Craig felt that
waiting might pay.
AT last he was rewarded by the
sound of flutter outside. A click fol-
lowed as the little door shut, trapping
the pigeon. The signal flag in the
room moved
Kennedy loked at 1t moment, then
carefully opened the door in the back
of the trap and seized the bird. From
the quill on its leg he took tightly
rolled note and read.

cupy a seat on the stand from which the parade would be reviewed by the governor and she would be happy to see him there. She regretted that for the reasons given it was not appropri- ate that she should accept his kind in vitation, but a bit of chat would be in order.
 At first each of the gentlemen was so disgruntled at this disposition of his invitation that he vowed he would not go near the reviewing stand. But curi- osity got the better of both. Miss Mae Gregor would undoubtedly have an es- cort. Who would that escort be? Not only curiosity, but rivalry, turned the scale.
 Independence day opened bright, and a multitude of stars and stripes tut- tered in the sunlight. Both of the suit DTS took positions where they could look upon the reviewing stand, and as soon as they saw Miss MacGregor take her seat they started simultaneously from different points to go to speak to her, reaching her Rt the same time. Beside her sat a gentleman with black hair and eyes, who, seeing the others ap- proach to speak with Miss MacGregor, arose and lifted his hat with extreme pollteness.
 Permit me to introduce to you, gen rlemen," said the lady, MT. Marivand. Mir. Marivand Is a descendant of the Marquis de Lafayette, who came over from France during our struggle for in dependence with an army to help us and rendered us valuable assistance"
 MT. Marivand bowed very low. In Miss MacGregors eye was a sparkle which the Irishman perceived, but to which the EnglIshman was obtuse. However, both the visiting gentlemen, after q few remarks upon the beautiful day, withdrew, leaving the field to the descendant of Lafayette,

Some Advice About How to Woo 'Na-
 ture's Sweet Restorer."
 In fighting sleeplessneSs I have found nothing so helpful as simple pro- cedure based on the conditions which recent psychological experiment has proved to be fundamental to sleep, These are;
 Mental and muscular relaxation, Tim ltation of voluntary movement and monotony of sensation.
 To obtain these the next time you find yourself wakeful select on the wall of your room some ornament or spot which. by reason of a ray of light from the moon or street lamp, seems to stand out clearly from Its surround ings. Having selected this spot, as- sume a comfortable position in bed, taking care that you lie In such a way that you can see the spot on the wall without straIning any part of your hody:
The daily Alaskan., 1915-07-07

Next, remaining perfectly motionless and thinking of nothing but the spot on the wall, gaze at 1t through half closed lids in such way that it seems remote and indistinCt.
 Be sure not to try to get q full view of 1t. That would mean tension, not relaxation. and would defeat your pur- pose. Your gaze at the spot, while steady, must be without any straining of the attention.
 Soon, if you have continued to He perfectly quiet and to think of nothing but the spot on the wall, you will find your eyelids grow heavy and close con- plctcly. Open them half way, as be- fore, and resume the process of gazing.
 They will again grow heavy and close, when you must, if you can, open them once more. Before long you will find 1t impossible to open them, for you will be sound asleep.
 Even If your room be in total dark ness you can still make use of this sleep bringing method by calling up DetOre your mlhu ; eye Solue lLHuS mary object and gazing at 1t between half closed lids exactly as though 1t were really before you. Remember, how ever, that you must lie perfectly still, moving neither your hands nor your legs.
 Try this device the next time you are troubled by wakefulness. From per sonal experience am satisfied that, if you follow 1t faithfully in its details, you will find that 1t works like a charm.-u. Addington Bruce in Kan sas City Times.

An Incident of
 Independence Day
By EUNCE BLAKE

Alice MacGregoT was an American girl with Scotch ancestry. How many suitors there were for Miss Mac Gregors hand only Miss MacGregor knew, for she Dever spoke of her of fers to any one. Certain 1t Is that there were two whose attentions were 30 marked as to be especially notice able. These were John Kershaw, an EngliShman, who had recently come to America, and Michael O'Connor.
 Mss MacGregor, being a bit of a CO., quette-what girl Is not7-may have accepted the attentions of one of these men as a foil for the other, but If this were true 1t was impossible for any one to tell which was the foil and which the man foned. There were those who declared that the lady ns- tened to both these suitOrs for the pur- pose Of worrying them.
 A crisis came In this triangular love affair on the Fourth of July. MT. O'Con- nor wrote Miss MacGregor a note in- yiting her 10 accept seat In R window above the store where be was employ cd to witness the Fourth of July pa rade. Miss MacGregor replied that she had already made a partial engage ment for the day. She was not sure. She would know by the evening before the Fourth and would advise him. She had already received an invitation from MT. Kershaw to the same effect and had written him the same answer she had sent O'Connor.
 Now, each of the rivals knew very well that the partial engagement men toned referred to the other. Mir. Ker- shaw, on the afternoon before Inde- pendence day, called on Miss Mac Gregor for Q more definite reply to his invitation She received him kindly,

Those to the west of the mountains resolved to remain in the Unionp while those to the east had al ready declared for secession. Great mas.. meetings were held in sever al of the western counties, and one Intended to secure united action as- sem bIed in Clarksburg on April 22, 1861. What has come to be konwn as the first Wheeling convention was hele in the following May; the second Wheeling convention met a month later, or on June II. Her necessary preliminary steps to- ward statehood were taken and, on June 20, 1863, West Virginia was admitted as a state of the Union.
 The war and the feeling 1t en- gendsred prevented for many years an adjustment of accounts between the new state and the old, although the old never permitted it's claim for reparation to be forgotten. The contract under which the states were separated provided that West Virginia should assume her "equit- able proportion" of the public debt. There have been almost innumerable hearings of the case in all of its bearings, each side contesting for what it believed to be it's right, and nov, after the lapse of more than half a century, the United States supreme court has adjudged West Virginia debtor to the state of Virginia to the amount of $12,- 393. .929.2S. The interest on the debt, which has been running since Jan. l, 1891, Is $S,17S,3O7, or nearly twice as much az the princi- pal.
 In order to reach q settlement ia this case some very fine ad- iu. tments have been necessary, as well as the exercise of a great amount tf patience. There were year, of course, when few things seem7d more hopeless than that Yjrt:nia and West Virginia should ever come to an amicable under standing about anything. But hap oily thoee times have passed, and among the states in the American sisterhood there are none more neighborIy or more friendly than the Ylrg:nias. The decision just announced will scarcely affect their relations perceptibly at this late date, but it nevertheless marks the disappearance of one more occasion for Aveu unpleasant remembrance.

but declared that she did not think 1t would be appropriate for an American girl. especially one of Scotch descent, to celebrate Independence day with an EngIIshman. There had been e he reditary feud between the English and Scotch races until the crowns were united in one king, and there had been long fight between the English and Americans Why should she, Mac Gregor born in America, celebrate the Fourth of July with an Englishmnnf
 But all that has passed and gone" protested KeSshaw, failing to detect that the young lady was chafing him.
 Its the impropriety of the thing" she persisted.
 Mir. Kershaw left her without hay Ing secured a consent and later Mir. O'Connor called.
 "I don't think, Mir. O'Connor," said Miss MacGregor, that 1t would be in order for me to view the Fourth of July procession in your company"
 Why not?" asked the young man, astOnished.
 Because the day celebrates the win ming of American independence from Great Britain"
 But I'm Irish; not British at all"
 Ireland was a part of the mother country that oppressed the colonies. Besides, I had a great-greatuncle who fought under the Scotch-Irish banner at the battle Of the Boyne. Your an- cestors were on the other side"
 Hang my ancestors! What do l care for a fight that occurred more than two centuries agoT
 Nevertheless, the Fourth of July is a day that is, or should be, near to the heart of every American. It would be hurtful to my feelings to celebrate 1t in company with one whose ancestors were on the other side in the fight for independence"
 But we're all of the same blood English, Scotch. Irish and Americans"
 Family feuds are the most bitter"
 Mfr. O'Connor was obliged to depart with no more comfort than his rival had received.
 During the evening Miss MacGregor called up each of the rivals by tele- phone and told him that she would oc.

giq Hats In Colonial Days,

The question of high hats at public places was of some moment, even in colonial days. In 17G9 the church at Andoyer, Mass, put 1t to vote wheth- CT "the parish disapproye of the fe- male sex sitting with their hats on in the meeting house in time of divine service as being indecent" In the town of Abingdon in 1775 1t was voted that 1t was "an indecent way with the feminine sex to sit with their hats and bonncts on in worshiping God" still another town voted that 1t was the towns mind" that the women should take their bonncts off in meeting and hang them on the pegs.

Hold a raw egg on end and spin 1t on q plate or other smooth surface. Quickly place the hand upon It for an instant, stopping the motion momen- tarily. When the hand is removed the egg will resume its spinning. This is because the liquid contents of the shell continued to whirl rapidly when your hand stopped the shell, and If It is quickly released the whirIing contents will again set the shell to spinning American Boy.
