Whoever has charge of the spring
house at Hope Springs takes the news
stand in the evening. That's an old
rule.
After I ate my supper relieved
Amanda King. who runs the news
stand in the daytime, when she isn't
laid off with the toothache. Mr.. Sam
was right. All the women had on
their puffs, and they were sitting in a
hal;-circle on each side OF the door.
Mrs. Sam was there, looking fright
ened and anxious, and standing near
the card-room door was Miss Patty.
She was all in white, with two red
spots on her cheeks. and thought II
her prince could have seen her then
he would pretty nearly have eaten her
up.
Mr.. Sam came to the news stand,
and he was SO nervous he could hardly
light cigarette.
I've had message from one of the
detectives" he said. They've traced
him to Salem, Ohio, but they lost him
there. II we can only hold on this
evening"! Isn't that the sleish?"
Everybody had heard 1t. The women

ward clutching the arms of her chair
She was in white. having laid of her
black for that evening, with a red
rose pinned on her SO Mr.. Pierce would
know her. Miss Patty heard the
sleighbells also, and she turned and
came toward the door. Her mouth
was set hard. and she was twisting her
ring as she always,did when she was
nervous. And at the same moment
Mr.. Sam and ! both saw 1t; she was
in white. too. and she had res rose

NOME CENTER OF
 BIG OIL STRIKE

NOME. August 21.-That a whole lake of oil, great flowing natural gas and oil wells and immense streams of the fluid have been discovered to the northward of this peninsula is the amazing statement brought down by the Revenue Cutter Bear and a state ment proven by photographs taken and brought here by the discovery of what apparently means nothing less than a vastly greater find than any gold fields within the limits of the Territory.
 Vanvalin is the name of the dis coverer. He was picked up by the Bear at Wainright just south of the pluace of discovery of the extraordin- ary oil lake. The lake is situated be- tween Wainright and Point Barrow in the extreme North of Alaaska. The photographs taken by valvalln show clearly that the lake of oil is of large extent, that an extraordinary flow of oil is taking place and that some of the channels through which the oil flows have over two feet depth of the fluid. The lake contains oil of a light color and density. The story has created a sensation here and a stampede is sure to result.
