ON
 THEIR OWN SOIL
FOR HIS EXPRESSION CARDIN. AL MERCER WAS SEVERE
 LY REPRIMANDED.

PARIS. April 6.-Cardinal Mer- eer's pastoral letter which caused the remonstrance from Gov. von Bissing last month, has just been received here. After expressing joy at being back among his fellow eountrymen, and saying that his journey to Rome had been blessed beyond what he had dared to hope the Belgian cardinal, turning to the position of Belgium, says;
 Let us even suppose that the finish or the issue of the gigan- tic war now being fought in Europe and in Asia Minor should be uncertain, one fact is already established in civilizza- tion and history = the moral triumph of Belgium. In uni son with your king and gov ernment you have made im- mense sacrifices for your coun- try. Peoples abroad understand your spirit of sacrifice; you are admired and your generation has taken it's place gloriously in history. Is not that a con- quest, my brethren? Are you not the most glorious of con querors?
 "I know that you weep, that the hearts of mothers and wives are broken, that lives are be- ing lost on the banks of the Yser. The imprisonment of our nation on our own soil is sad ly prolonged.
 "We shall win, but We are not yet at the end Of our sui ferings. France, Great Britain and Russia have pledged them selves to make no peace until Belgium has recovered her en- tire independence and been largely indemniied. Italy in turn has adhered to this pledge. Our future is not in doubt, but We must be pre- pared for it."

NOTICE
 TO SCHOOL PATRONS

Mr. F. W. Meisnest of the Uni vesity of Washington is inspecting the High Schools of Southeastern Alaska to determine how many of them may become accredited high schools. If a school is able to meet the requirements, pupils finishing the four-year high school course will be able to enter the State University without examinations.
 Mr. Meisnest is returning to Se- attle, having inspected the schools at Juneau and Douglas and will be with us the first days of next week.
 As this is the first year there is a graduating class from the four year high school course in the ket- chikan schools it is very fitting time for our school to be placed upon the accredited list.
 Mr. Meisnest will deliver an ad- dress in the school house Monday evening, April 10th, at o'clock. on "New Education," and will state clearly the improvements nec- essary here and the advantages to be derived from having an ac- credited high school in our town

The cabin came into sight, perched
on an elevation among the palms. A
little stream of water ran beside it.
The long ride across the desert was
nearly ended. Dicks pony, seeming
the water, pTicked up his ears and
broke into a canter. Dick dismount-
ed in a thorn clump near the cabin
and crept cautiously forward to
where a candle shone in a window.
He crawled toward an angle of the
shack, revolver in hand. Suddenly
the door was flung open and a bull
let hummed past Dicks ear as the
rifle in the doorway rang.
Dicks rush was too quick for the
bandit. In an instant the sheriff had
disaTmed him. Sancho looked into
Dicks revolver.
His hands went up automatically.
He scowled at his captor.

Dick turned without word and
swung out into the road that led
downtown. He could not see the
flood of tears that followed his de-
parture. Nor could he know that it
was his friendship with Lima, retailed
by the town gossips, that was the
cause of the change in Doris atti-
>tude toward him.
Lima had tainted Dick of late. Why
didn't he go for Sancho, she had
asked him. Dick bore it patiently.
Some time she would give him his
clue, and then-weu, Ausha would
know what sort of man the sheriff
was.
He had his reward sooner than he
expected. For, as the girl ended her
song that night and came tripping
through the audience, she stopped an
instant at Dicks side.
"Sancho will be at my cabin to-
night at half-past ten. Kill him if
you can, Senior Farley. If you can't,
take him away. l never want to see
his face again, the traitor" she said.

he felt Lina's arms tighten upon his
neck from behind. At the same in
slant Sancho turned and dashed the
weapon from his hand. AS Dick
struggled in vain a coil of rope
frightened about his body, pinioning
him. The outlaw rolled him to the
floor and secured his legs with the
end of the coil.
Sancho picked up the sheriff in his
arms and carried him to the edge of
the stream. He left him there, went
away and returned shortly with a
maIlet and some long iron pegs. Very
deliberately he hammered them into
the sun-baked earth. Then heNfast-
ened Dicks arms and legs to the
pegs.
"GoOd-by until tomorrow" said
Sancho mockingly, gazing into
Dicks uptUrned face.

Someone said that the richest per-
