WARRANT IS ISSUED
 FOR JACK CAMPBELL

On complaint of Pack Mcleod, a warrant was issued by the United States commissioner today for the ar rest of Jack Campbell. of Lituya Bay. and charging him with assault with a dangerous weapon on Dec. 2S, 1915.

After that time 1t Is easy to get to Lituya and return, but at present 1t is an almost i'm possible trip.
 The many friends of Jack Campbell, when they learned that Q warrant for his arrest he'd been issued, stated that all the authorities need do is to nc tlfy Campbell that he is wanted and he will come to Juneau as soon as possible of his own free will.

From that hour until the Brother
marched away no word Of the struggle
which is convulsing Europe escaped the
lips Of either the Girl or the Man. By
unspoken assent It became a subject
tabooed.
But each of them felt it a growing gulf
between them.
In the months that followed the Broth

Of the Girl whose spirit followed him in
the trenches.
But she made no sign.
Most OF all to the Man she made no

unswerving ideals she held Of manhood
and duty, pulsating with her unvoiced
opinion OF the shirker.
Until it came to pass on a winters q

In an attitude OF listening.
In answer to his question, came the tel
ephone bell.
Mechanically the Girl rose to her feet.

Gravely. she regarded him. Her deep
trimmed eyes. wider than ever in their
pain, Travelled the length Of his strong,
finely-knit, manly figure in slow specula-
ton. Then an odd twisted smile fiickered
TO her lips as she waved him aside and
lifted the receiver from the hook.
''Yes?" questioned the Girl over the
phone.
The Man watching her intently saw her
grave. sweet face blanch. her straight
girlish figure sway uncertainty, and he
ieaped in ready sympathy to take her in
to his protecting arms. But before he
reached her the Girl had replaced the
receiver and turned a transngured face
toward him, while between them march
ed triumphantly the heroic figure of the
Brother.
Startled. the Man gazed with frightened
eyes.
But the light in the Girls beautiful
face did not waver.

The Girls heart made q brave struggle
for faithfulness to love Of the Man who
was a shirker.
But time came when the Spirit Of the
Soldier Lad walked between them and
self-protection from her heart forever
For said the Girl the arms thai
decline the protection Of the flag are not
fit to enfold a woman
The Girl was a subject of England, hv-
ing In one Of her dominions.
The Man. too, owed loyalty and alle-
glance to the British flag.
But the hearts of them, so filled with
love for each other, were made OF diff
