able to endure it any longer, had rushed from the table to her room. She knew her parents~Were discussing her behavior and that her conduct had been as good as g confession, but what of it? She loved Will Fielding and there wasn't any reason why they shouldn't know.
 But, later her mother came to her and kindly but firmly told her that she was too young to fall in love, and, be- sides, that although personally she liked Will well enough, the family was new and she couldn't consent to daughter of hers marrying into a fam fly no one knew anything about.
 And so things went on for three days Then something occurred, some- thing dreadful. Polly had never learned the exact truth, for no one would tell her. It was something about the diamond ring her mother lost.
 She had dressed for a party and gone to the kitchen before leaving to tell Nora about dinner. Finding that her rings interfered with her gloves, she had drawn them off and laid them on the table in the kitchen, intending to drop them into her bag. But she was half way to the car before she re- membered them and returned. Norah, in the meantime, had taken a basket and gone out for cherries for pies, leav- ing the doors open. That was all they would tell her. except that when her mother returned the two-carat diamond was gone and that night her parents made her promise never to see Will again. And on the other hand, the company marched away with never a goodby from Will, nor so much as a salute from him as he had passed.
 The sick man moaned and muttered something.
 "Polly! Good-by, Polly." he said. Wont you say good-by? Whats the matter with everybody?" More nut tering and then: Nobody was at home, Polly. I cut across the back way and Duke ran into the kitchen. l chased him out, and he tore your mothers silk dress. She hates Duke. Poor Duke! Good-bs, Polly, dear!'
 "Will," breathed the little nurse softly, Hive for my sake, Will. There was some mistake I am sure, and it will come out all right"
 Dawn came swift and hot and horse galloped near. It was meSsen- ger with mail. There were letters for Polly, one from home and she opened it eagerly. ''Dear little girl wrote her mother, q hope you are safe and well and not working toe hard. EG-

We found it stick ing to the bottom of the old cherry basket. Nora must have set the basket down on my rings that day and the diamond one caught. lis been in the cellar ever since until today, when she found the ring. Dc you ever hear of Will Fielding?

 The letter slipped to the floor.
 'Thank God" whispered the little nurse.

POLLY'S SOLDIER By ELLIS GRAHAM.

The little white nurse, weary but wide-eyed, sat silently flaming wounded soldier
 He had been brought in during the day with a shattered arm and bull let wound in the side and now he tossed feverish and delirious on his mattress bed, one of two dozen in tue ruins of the old mission. The heat was almost unbearable, not a breath of air stirring in that desert region. The little nurse was thinking as she famed, and this was what it was all about:
 It was cherry time and girl and a man were out under the crimson. heart tree. The girl had a color iii her cheeks almost as rich as that of the cherries the young man had hung over each of her ears and her lips, juice stained, were too tempting to resist,
 q love you, Polly p he declared, im- petuously seizing her in his arms. "Tell me all over again.
 q love you, Will !" she declared hap. pily, smuggling up close to his breast.
 And you'll never, never forget! Promise" !"
 q promise !"
 And no matter what anybody ever says, you'll never go back on me. Cross your heart, Polly!"
 And Polly solemnly crossed her heart.
 That evening at dinner Polly's fa- ther said; Tt looks as though we are going to have war. The militia has been ordered out"
 Poor white Polly had dropped her fork and the cheeks that had matched the cherries had gone white as the tablecloth. For Will was captain in the local Guard and that meant-oh, what?
 Are you sure, daddy?"
 Yes, Pauline, I'm sorry to say it's true"
 "What's wrong, Polly?' exclaimed her mother.
 Nothing she answered with dry lips, "except that I was thinking that some of the boys we know will nave to go."
 q suppose so. Will Fielding has something to do with it, hasn't he? Why, Polly" For the girl was un:

Washington, Jan. 13-The Alas ka mining industry as a whole was more prosperous in 1915 than in any previous year. This is indicat- ed by the value of the total min eral output, which is estimated to have been $82,OOO,OOO. compared with $19,O64,96S for 1914. The highest value for any previous year was in 1906, when Alaska produced S23,378,428 worth of minerals, but this was at time when the bon anza Dlacers of Fairbanks and Nome were yielding their greatest re- turns.
 The high value of the mineral output in 1915 was due in large measure to the extraordinary amount of copper that was mined Prelim- mary estimates indicate this to be S3,S50,O00 pounds valued at $l4,- 100000. In 1914 21,450,62S pounds Of copper were mined, val ued at $2,S52,984. The gold pro- duction also increased in 1915, when the value was about $1G,9OO,- 900, against S15,62G,S13, for the output of 1914. This Is the l@rg- est gold production since 1912, when the output was valued at ST., 145,951. As the production of silver is incidental to gold and copper mining, this also increased. It Is estimated that $4OO,OOO worth of silver was mined in 1915, as compared with $218,327 worth in 1914. The output of other minerals including tin, antimony marble, gypsum, coal, and petroleum, in

 THE MINING INDUSTRY

1915 hal a value of about $300,000, compared with $222,8O2 in 1914.
 The developments made during the year give assurance of continued large operations in both copper and gold lode mining, Placer mining has been less prosperous, for this industry has not yet reacted to the stimulus of the government rail way, which will make available for profitable exploitation large bodies cf low-grade graYels. The same Is true Of the cOal-mining industry, which also must await railway transportation.
 The annual report on mineral re- sources and production in Alaska for 1915 is now in preparation un- der the idrectioG of Alfred H. Brooks, of the United States Geo. logical survey.
 The first gold mining in Alaska " aS tune III 1OcVy anu SIASC Nt4'-I time gold to the value of about $261,O5O,OOO has been produced. Of this about $1S6, 100000 has been won from the gold placers. Cop per mining began in 1901, and the total copper output of Alaska is now about 217,25O, 900 pounds, valued at $34,15O,OOO. The value of the total silver production to date is about $2,65O,OOO. Coal, petroleum, tin, lead, quicksilver. antimOny, marble, gypsum, and other minerals have been produced to the value of about $2,150,OOO. Therefore, the value of the total mineral production during 36 years Of mining in Alaska has been $SO0,- U0O,OOO.

FOR TvskEeEE's FUTURE.

Trustees Of Alabama School Plan ts
Raise Big Endowment Fund.
A dispatch from Tuskegee. Ala, on
Tuesday, Dec. IA. states that after an
all day session the trustees Of the
Tuskegee institute failed to elect \
successor to the late DR.. Booker T.
Washington and referred the matter
to 4 special committee, composed Of
Chairman Seth Low. Vice Chairman
W. w. Campbell Of Tuskegee, Ala:
Victor 81. Tulane of Montgomery.
Ala; Frank Trumbull of New York
and Edgar A. Bancroft Of Chicago.
The creation of a 100000 Booker
I. Washington memorial endowment
for the Tuskegee institute was author
lied BY the institutes trustees. who
announced that $45O,OOO had already
been pledged. some Of it contingent
upon raising the remainder. Colonel
Roosevelt had full and busy day at
Tuskegee. spending the larger part of
the morning in the trustees session.
Under Warren Logan, the treasurer.
and Emmett ]. Scott, the secretary. the
institute work can be carried on with
out interruption until the committee
names a new principal, the dispatch
says.
The only names mentioned by the
trustees as possible successor to the
great Negro educator were Emmett j.
Scott, secretary of the Tuskegee insti-
tute, and Major II. r. Motion. com
mandant of cadets at Hampton insti-
tute. Scott for eighteen years was
DR.. Washington's secretary and init
mate coworker In building up the work
Of the school
The following statement regarding
the Booker T. Washington memorial
fund was issued:
"Tuskegee institute is Booker T.
WashingtOn's monument, and his most
fitting memorial Is the perpetuation of
its great work for the benefit of the
colored people and for the promotion
of helpful relations between the races
The gap at present existing between
the ordinary income Of the institute
and its annual outgo is approximately
$4,000. 1t is not desired to close
this gap SO completely as to make the
institute Independent Of the interest
and support Of the living, but it is de-
sired to reduce this gap to manageable
proportions
"The trustees therefore propose to
invite subscriptions to the Booker T.
Washington memorial fund of $1,000
600 for the continuance of the insti-
tute and of the worE for the Negro
race which cehters there.
ut is hoped and expected that x:5o.
600 OF this sum will be given by Ne
groes. out of which fund suitable
memorial for Booker T. Washington
shall be erected on the grounds of the
institute. The trustees have already
received subscriptions Of more than
&4J0, 0,OO0 some Of which, but not all
are conditional upon larger sums being
raised
The colored people may therefore
feel that every dollar they give will
he met morc than dollar for dollar by
gifts from white people. The fund to
be invited from the Negro people viii
be managed from Tuskegee institute
and will he under the charge OF EN-
NETT j. Scott. secretary. Other sub
