NOME. ALASKA. FEB. g. 1916.

l. would seem that t Is about time that the people of Nome and Seward peninsula woke up to the real gravity of the attempt of the fish packers as soclstlon to secure the repeal of that section of the organic act relating to the salmon fisheries. which is now be- Ing made with the eonnlvance of the fisheries bureau of the department of commerce,
 IL Is now three weeks since the an uouncement Of this contemplated at tempt to steal away the rights of the people of Alaska, was voiced through the columns ot the local pres. and yet neither the Chamber Of Commerce or Inc people st large have made even an apathetic attempt to prevent such action Considering the serious results to the territory and Its people in the event Of the packing interests succeed ing in their attempt to deprive the legislature of the right to impose taxes on that most important of all Alaska industries. aside from the mining in. dustry. the people of Nome and the Second division are displaying a lack of interest almost incomprehensive, unless one may accept the view that they do not care what happens-even though it hits their pocket books.
 And that is exactly what is going to happen unless the people of Alaska including Seward peninsula. get busy in the active sense of the term. and endesvor by every means in their power to stop this outrageous attempt to pilfer away one of the principal sources Of territorial revenue Here is something going on right under our noses that is of far greater moment than our mails or any other of the various matters over which we make such & vast deal of fuss and stln We set around and do nothing. Do not the people Of Nome realize that the fish taxes form one of the principal sources ot revenue of the territorial government and will in time. if no, moles;ed by the fisheries department furnish the greater portion of the ter rt,orial revenuess Do they not also realize that the recommendation of Secretary Redheld for ths repeal of the right to tax the fisheries means nothing less than that the territory will have to secure money from other sources, in the event that the recon. mendation receives the sanction of con- Sress-ss 1t surely will unless some thing is done 10 prevent It
 Do they not also realize that this means that they. themselves.

BROOKLYN, N. Y. = Bill Carrigan
tried dangerous experiment Tuesday
and that cost his Red Sox the third
game of the world series. Bill sent
Mays to the mound in the hope that
his subway delivery would battle the
Dodgers, and the Brooklynites prompt
~ maced it for four runs and seven
hits, which gave them the battle by a
count of to 8.
Living UP to their never say die"
reputation, the Red-hosed warriors
from Boston tried gamely and des-
perately to overcome the handicap
but they fell one run short. 1t was a
ball game featured by plenty of clean
hitting and devoid of any really glar-

the Dodgers because they outbatted
their rivals and outplayed them.
And now the series count is Red
Sox, 2; Dodgers, 1, with the Dodgers
thoroughly recovered from their mi
tial nervousness.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The United
States rejected the demands of Great
Britain and France that ali German
submarines, whether peaceful mer-
chant undersea ships like the Deutsch-
land, or armed like the U-53, be de-
MED the use of American harbOrs.
This announcement was made by
acting Secretary of State Polk. The
full text of the state departments
note was not made public until af-
ter the return of Secretary Lansing
from Shadow Lawn.
Fear for NeutraIs.
Great Britain and France, in
memorandum to the state department,
had called attention to the grave dan
ger incurred by neutral submarines in
the navigation of regions frequented
by belligerent submarines.
The contention of the allies that
submarines are outlaws brought up
the question of whether the American
government may be sued for damages
resulting from the call of the German
submarine U-53 at Newport before it
started on it's spectacular raid against
commerce.

however, would probably be most
vigorously opposed by this govern
ment which holds that warship has
a right to enter a neutral harbor and
that the U-53 in no way tempted to
make Newport base.
Navy to Look for Supply Base.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The navy de-
partment, it was stated by officials.
will institute a search along the At
lantic coast for The alleged permanent
base for German submarines. This &C.
ton is to be tasan to determine Off
cially whether there is such base;
it's existence having been more than
limited at by officials of the British
government.
Navy officials are morally certain
already that there is no such base. It
is. known to the government re n the
most reliable sources that the Ger
man U-boat campaign on this side of
the water is being conducted with the
assistance of one or more German
submarine tenders and perhaps YES
sells of the Deutschland and Bremen
type.
Navy officers who have been on
cruise and who have heard from 9TH
ers in the active service say that the
existence of land base which would
escape the observation of the navy is
practically impossible.
Communications are said to have
passed between Secretary of State
Lansing and Secretary of the Navy
Daniels. The search, it is understood,
is being made at the request of the
state department.

Duncan Hilliard was big man and

to my mothers home. She will live

I am going to marry her. If you try
to prevent us, the consequences are
on your own head.
Come, Eunice," he said gently
turning to the sobbing woman and
leading her from the room and out OF
the house.
On the same Cay, Eunice Hilliard
was installed as a member of the
pleasant little household presided
over by Bruce Kingston's sweet-faced
mother. Her life there was ideally
happy.
Then, one day, came brief letter
from Hilliard. Eunice read and re

With a strangled, wordless cry, she
slipped past him, before he could stop
her, and fed from the house.
An hour later, Bruce Kingston, nerv-
ously wondering whittier his bride had
gone, received this note, from the
hand of a messenger boy:
Bruce, Dearest: find ! have

EUNlcE.
Nor could money or skill or months
of tireIess search bring Bruce any
further trace of the woman he adored.
It was eight years since Eunice had
gone out of Bruce Kingston's life. The
years for all their glittering success,
had been drearily lonely and miser-
able for him.
And, with the passing OF years,
Eunice became at last sweet-sad
memory to Kingston, rather than a
reality. He began to go about more.
And, at last, at the end of the eighth
year, he once again met a woman
whose look and voice could make his
long-empty heart stir with love.
He met her, first, when company
was called together for a reading OF
Bruce's new play, Ropes Of Sand" a
masterpiece, which the manager and
all his friends predicted would be the
browning hit OF Kingston's brilliant
career.

He had little trouble in cultivating

was fiattered that she should be

she began to feel a much warmer per-
sonal interest in the man on his own

In short, Evelyn Eden presently dis

FOURTH STORY
The Silent Shame.

When Eunice Mayne eloped from
the convent to marry Duncan billiard,
she was fifteen and he was twenty
five. 1t was the old, dreary tale of
Marry in haste and repent at lei
sure"
For Eunice, the repentance set in
almost at once; for Hilliard it began
when he first grew tired of his child
wife's sweet innocence and lOnged for
more mature-minded companionship.
They had but one child-a daugh-
ter, Ardath-and on this little girl
Eunice centered all her sighted affec-
ton and her hopes. But, even here,
Duncan did his best to thwart her.
For, when Ardath was scarcely more
than baby, he announced that her
noisy presence in the house annoyed
him and he packed the child off to a
distant boarding school.
Left alone in the big house with
the husband who daily neglected her
more and more, Eunice tried to find
amusement in society. And thus it
was that she met Bruce Kingston.
Bruce was rising young playwright
"a good-looking, manly fellow and a
social favorite.
They saw much Of each other, these
two lonely young people. And each
turned instinctively to the other for
companionsnip. Yet, in their &C
Quaintance there was only the fra
GRANGE of innocent attraction.
Then came the invitation to AIDE
laide Hooper's house-party at ram
bling country place twenty miles from
town. Eunice was fond of Mrs. Hoop
er and she begged her husband to &C
cept.
There's enough boredom in every
day life without my motoring twenty
miles to look for it," he grunted. GO
out there yourself, if you like. I'll
keep bachelors hall till you get back, >
And so it was settled. Eunice ac-
cepted the invitation, for herself. And
Duncan planned to improve the shin
ing hours Of her absence by giving a
little part on his own account to half
a dozen boon companions Of both
sexes.
Among the score or so Of guests al
the Hooper's, the first to greet Eunice
after her arrival, was Bruce Kingston
His dark young face lightened with
genuine pleasure at sight of her and
he welcomed her eagerly.
AS she passed on into the house, 6
fellow-guest, Reggie Cadleigh, strolled
UP to Bruce, who stood on the veran
da looking after her. Cadleigh was

Bruce and his mother were sitting,
she read it aloud to them. 1t ran:
Dear Eunice:

gayly.
"Glorious!" declared Bruce. "But

divorce in New York. But I don't
know anything about the law"
Neither do T." chimed in Eunice,
except that it leaves me free to mar

Today" he urged.
mo, DEAR" she refused, with sud-
den gravity "To me, divorce Is a
sort of death. A widow would not
marry for a year after her husbands
death. And don't think divorced
woman should"
At last, after what seemed to Bruce
Kingston century Of waiting, the
year passed by. And on the morning
Of the first anniversary Of the di-
vorce, ne and Eunice were married.
AS soon as they left the church,
Bruce was obliged to go to his
lawyers to attend to a matter
of business that must be settled
before they should start on their
honeymoon. Eunice returned to his
mothers house to wait for him.
There, to her amaze, she found a let
ter that had just been delivered.
Eunice read, on the single sheet of
notepaper, this feebly traced scrawl:
Eunice:
am very sick. The doctors
say I can't last much longer.
I'll be happier, at the finish OF
the race, 10 know you had for
given me. Won't you spare just
a minute to come and say good
by7 ! don't deserve it. But
most of US don't deserve the
things we get. o. h.
A thrill of pity surged through
Eunice. She was so happy, and the
man who once had been her husband
was dying In misery! At once her
mind was made up. Bruce would not
be back for nearly an hour.
Half an hour later she entered the
house she had quilted more than a
year earlier; the house where for
years sheskad led so wretched life.
Duncan Hilliard rose from a chair
to greet her.
"Why," exclaimed Eunice, in amaze.

partly because Cadleigh had made
various attempts to fiirt with Eunice.
Cadleigh, now catching the look in
Bruce's eyes. as Eunice vanished in
doors. laughed hastily and said:
From the way you and she looked
at each other, you must be luckier
than I was, Mr.. Kingston"
Bruce Redeemed with anger. But,
outwardiy, he was calm, as he made
answer:
you are quite right. Mr.. Cadleigh.
I am luckier than you. My parents
endowed me with clean brains, In
stead of tainted money"
He walked away, leaving Cadleigh
slowering vindictively after him
Bruce thought no more of the episode.
Cadleigh thought of nothing else, and
he itched to repay the slight.
His chance came late that evening.
In the drawing room. there were sew
sral bridge tables. Bruce and Eunice
we're partners at one of them. AZ
