said Mr.. Moves, rs Never again When
the settlement finally comes there will
certainly be a grim attempt to establish
some sort OF collective responsibility
among nations so that treaties cannot

whole thing reduces itself to whether we
are going to have International wars In
the future. A system of international
police is rather distant ideal, but don

FORTUNE IN ALASKA ANG0RAS

Angora goats for Alaska is the lat

resources of the northern territory.
1t is the plan of Judge Martin F.
Moran, representative of the territori-
al legislature from the Kobuk district.
Judge Moran few days ago out
lined his plans for importing a herd
of Angora goats in Alaska. to feed
on reindeer moss, which grows so
plentifully on the tundra of western
and northern Alaska. The northern
legislator sees future in the An.
CORA industry, with vast profits for
the men with the initiative and dar-
ing to undertake the venture.
Down in Oregon" said Judge Nor.
an, there is an Angora ranch that is
making a fortune for it's owner. The
war has cut down the importation of
Angora wool, and it is up to the few
American ranches to supply all the
needs of mohair manufacturers. An
CORA wool is staple product; it
brings from 81 to IS pound raw,
the finest grades being used in the
manufacture of the most expensive
grades of mohair and fancy plush"

THE SAPPHIRE ring
BY ELLIS BROWNE.


It was exactly four weeks after
Robert Hanford became engaged to
Lucille Ames that he came to take
her to the tennis match at West
Waters.
AS he held her slim fingers in his,
he was startled by change in her
appearance. Lucille, the gay and light
hearted, wore a worried look.
What is the matter, dearest?" he
asked in alarm.
Nothing" she evaded, drawing
away her hands.
He touched her third finger play
fully. Where is the guardian ring?"
he demanded
Lucille paled Il cannot find it," she
said, after a moments hesitation. Il
am sure it is around the place some
where; will look again" Tears filled
her eyes.
AS the car carried them over to
West Waters, Lucille and Robert
scarcely exchanged a word. By the
time they reached the clubhouse Rob.
ert was in jealous rage He re-
membered that George Letterby had
been the most formidable rival for
Lucile's heart and he wondered If
Lucille had changed her mind
Robert went to play in the singles,
and one of his opponents was George
Letterby. 1t was while Letterby was
serving a ball to Robert that the lat
ter noticed Lucile's sapphire ring on
his opponents little finger.
Some ring!" smiled Letterby across
the net.
Robert nodded grimly
Thirty - love!" called Letterby
mockingly
Hot anger filled Roberts heart. The
battle between the two men was a
real one, and although Robert carried
off the tennis honors, his storming
heart admitted that Letterby was the
victor in another contest If not, what
excuse was there for Letterby wear
ing the betrothal ring given by him
to Lucille?
When the match was over, Robert
found that Lucille had pleaded head
ache and gone home with friend.
He did not wait for congratulations
on his victory; he sped home in his
motor car, wrote bitter letter of re-
nunciation to Lucille, and the next
morning was on his way to Califor-
MIA.
On the Pacific coast there was a
tiny hamlet which is a paradise for
