become friends at college. One thinks

HE tried to see her eyes. He longed to
throw reserve to the winds. He
wanted to talk now at random about an
emotion he scarcely understood. His
answer was pitched low. His tone, he
felt, was an avowal.
Suppose was afraid? Isn't it unkind
to remind me of my cowardice?"

He reached out quickly and grasped her
arm. Uncalculated words were in his
mind, crying for expression.
She sprang back, freeing her arm. Her
quickened breath was audible.

around"
Couldn't you see who it was?" the
policeman asked.
Quaile cleared his throat.
"There were no lights"
The policeman considered.

what of it?" Quaile asked.
The man lowered his voice.
IL read in the papers about that actor
Cartons dying inside. First and last,
I've heard a lot of talk about Woodfords.
Now, let me get it straight. You didn't
see this man, but you must have felt him
when he tried to stop you.
Quaile knew what the policeman was
driving at 1t was difficult to believe
that the dread Of Woodford's had run
so far.
Il didn't feel him, he answered; aand,
if you don't mind, l prefer not to be
put on the witness-stand before l get to
court
Seems to me- the policeman said
bluntly, "we're three nervous people. l
don't mind saying I've heard too much
about this building to like it, That's all
talk. AS the lady says, it'll do no harm
to go in and take look around for your
man."
He grasped the handle of the door and
pulled. He turned, little surprised
"You must have locked it when you
came out. Where's the key?"
OUAILE could not believe his ears.

@This door is locked the policeman
said.

He sprang forward and tugged at the
handle; then stepped back, bewildered.
"You didn't lock it?" the policeman
asked.
mo, no. Quaile answered. al left the
key on the inside
He remembered how the door had stood
open until he had swung it shut to discover
Barbara's shrinking figure. 1t offered
testimony, apparently beyond dispute,
that there was indeed man in the
building. He spoke of that to the police
man, who could only agree.
"Then you'll have to break the lock-"
Quaile said. "Try your night-stick."
But the policeman shook his head.
"You don't own the building?'
NO

Quaile tried to urge him; but Barbara
interrupted:

@Then what about McHugh?" Quaile
asked her. "You got him?'
"Yes. He hadn't gone to bed. He
said he would start right away. He
shouldn't be long now"
McHUGH didn't keep them waiting.
He stormed through the mouth of
the alley, pausing just inside.
"It's dark as Egypt. Quaile! You
there? Come lead me up"
Quaile resented the shallow stratagem.
He knew that the manager desired to talk
to him apart from Barbara. 1t was wiser
to obey, so he hurried down.
"Well? Well?, Quick! What's hap

raised that Internal racket at the door.
He examined the wall opposite more
closely. There was just one hiding-place
between the open door and the side of
the theater. Whoever had knocked must
Turk there.
He took a step forward, grasped the
door, and swung it shut. A figure darker
than the wall shrank back The light
was insufficient to show him more, at
first, than the form of woman.
"Who are you?" he asked.
The woman did not reply Then, be-
fore Quaile had seen her face, the truth
came to him.
"Why do you hide there, Miss Morgan?
Come out, please"
CHE stepped away from the wall, but
still she said nothing, and, on his part,
words were difficult Instead of graft
tude for the release she had brought him,
he experienced sharp regret. The dis
closure of the young actresses identity
for the first time offered substantial
reinforcement Of McHugh's suspicious.
For why should she have come at this
hour? How could she have been so sure
of his danger? On the other hand, the
very fact that she had drawn him from
that danger was in her favor. Her prox-
unity, her continued silence, were elo-
quent advocates.
"Why are you SO silent? Why did you
come here at this hour? Why did you
knock as you did at the door,"
She shuddered. At last she spoke:
Il heard the footsteps, and shot, and
something like groan. I've been afraid
to ask. I-I-you're not hurt?"
He shook his head.
"No one was hurt, as far as know"
But he questioned if the groan he had
heard at the last could have been the
result of the shot. If SO, plenty of evil
dence must remain in the theater.
The possibility encouraged him. He
began to reach out again for a reason
able explanation of all that he had en-
perienced.

He was more than ever convinced of
McHugh's mistake. She would not have
had the courage to assume such an atti-
tude.
Al do thank you, he said, 4with all my
heart
aWhat were you doing in there?' she
asked.
With difficulty he made himself follow
McHugh's sarcastic advice not to let any
one pull the wool over his eyes.
Doesn't my question come first?" he
said.
@You mean"

She gestured impatiently.

about the house during rehearsal that you
were planning to take chances with Wood

sound which loosed many echoes. 1t had
little in common with the limping steps
Quaile had heard. Then the manager
was at the switchboard, and light flashed
against the tawdry walls and exposed the
void of the auditorium.
Quaile took step forward.
@The curtain, McHugh!"
@Why, yes McHugh drawled. xSeems
to be up, just as left it,"
He directed the policeman to search the
auditorium and the galleries.
4Try every door," he said. Search

therefore, astonished him.

smiled genially. His attitude no longer

Juneau Empire)

Juneau Emplre-l
 Judge Robert W. Jennings decided at Skagway Saturday that those seeking liquor licenses had failed to show that 8 majority of the citi- zens over 21 years or age were will ing that the licenses should be is sued. and the saloons will have two weeks in which to dispose of their liquor stocks and retire from busi- ness.
 Three of the four Salonos that had existed at Skagway before the first of July applied for license and asked that a new election be called on the question of wet or dry. A hearing was granted them by Judge Jennings, and it was held Saturday It appeared at the hearing that every contention as to the census and the voting alleged by the saloon men were true they would still be short of enough votes to make the town wet
 The saloon men contended that there were people who were entitled to vote whose names were not among those registered; that some were reg istered wrongfully. and that some of those who were wrongfully registered voted. It was shown that if every one of these contentious were true, that if every vote that was wrongfully cast was a dry vote and every voter who was not registered and did not vote was favorable to the vets, the vets would not have been successful, so the court closed the nearing with out going into the question as to whether the contentious of the vets were true or otherwise.
 Judge Jennings announced that he would deny the applications for h- censes, but would not enter formal order denying them for two weeks.

(Juneau Empire.)

(Juneau Empire.)
 John Godell, former deputy mar shal at Sitka, and a pioneer of Alas ka, last Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock entered one of the bathrooms at the Pioneers Home and committed sui eide by cutting his throat with rag or The news of the suicide was brought to Juneau yesterday on the Al-Ki from Sitka and quickly spread over the city. where Judge Godell is well known.
 Judge Godell had been an inmate of the Pioneers Home since last May and it is thought his physical condition as well as financial trou- bles unsettled his mind temporarily. He was suffering from heart trouble, Brights disease, goitre and other com plicated diseases. He realized that his diseases were incurable and that he had not long to live.
 Before cutting his throat Judge Godelf arranged all of his business af- fairs even to the smallest details. He is survived by son, Lawrence Godell. about 16 years of age, and also by a sister in Oregon. He was lawyer by profession. a former deputy collector of customs stationed at Sitka, and a general pioneer of Alaska.
