CHAPTER XIX


(Copyright. 1915. Star Company
Myra Webb was too much agitated
to want to take a car Immediately on
leaving the Imperial Magazine office.
She felt as If she must walk fast TO
give vent TO her inward excitement.
For, although she had maintained
a calm exterior. every nerve in her
body seemed to be twitching. She
wanted to laugh, to cry, to tell her
self over and over that at last she
had sold a story for a price far be-
yond her expectations or dreams.
She walked quickly from Fourth
avenue to Fifth, then turned north
ward at Thirteenth street, hardly
conscious of the crowd of pedestrians
about her. The rapid motion was an
actual relief Mentally. she relieved
the scene, through which she had just
passed, the editors words, her own
suppressed amazement at the price
he offered for her short story.
She knew that many writers re-
ceived much larger prices, but these
were well-known authors. Yet here
was she. a nobody, getting $3.50 for
a story. How wonderful Horace
would consider it. For, of course,
she would tell him. He had a right
to know about it,
Dusk had settled down upon the
city, but she did not heed II. She
had walked at least two miles, and
had passed from Fifth avenue over
to Broadway before she appreciated
that she was tired. Then, glancing
at her watch, she saw how late 1t
was. She must take a car home.
Stopping a Broadway car, she
boarded it and took a seat. The car
had a fiat wheel and 1t seemed to keep
time with the rhythm of her
thoughts.

minutes ago." the mother replied.

I'm his room, lying down, think.
He said he was dead tired. And I
fancy he was disappointed at your
not being here"
A moment later Myra Webb was at
her husbands side.
Aren't you well. dear?" she asked.
Well enough" he said, gloomily,
but tired
That's too bad" she sympathized,
as she removed her hat, furs and
coat, anu put tnen away.
Where have you been?" he in
quired.
Downtown, to see an editor, dear"
She sat down on the bed by him and
took his uuresponsive hand in hers.
II wish you wouldn't stay down in
the business part of town so late" he
complained. "I don't like you TO come
up on the subway at the rush hour.
Some people cannot avoid the dis
agreeable experiences. You can"

Mothers all realize that the bishop
dress is one of the best for tiny children.
1t is very easy to adjust and there are no
arm-hole seams to fret or irritate. In ad-
dition it is a simple little garment to
make, there are few seams and there is
no fitting. This one is made of fine
white lawn with lace insertion covering
the seams as we'll as finishing the hem but
it could be made with simple stitched
seams or with hem-stitching in place of
the seams or with the edges joined by
a little narrow scanning which the French
use so generally and which is always so
dainty. Here, the neck is gathered and
joined to band and that band is COW
cred with insertion. If liked, the sleeves
may be made short, and with the coming
of the warm weather the short sleeves viii
be wanted.
For the year size will be needed, 315
yards of material az inches wide, yards
so or a. with Az yards of banding and

The pattern s9os is Fut in sizes for
children of /, and 4 years of age. 1t will

did the stabbing will be tried, anu

Few Dwelling Houses
During the past few weeks num-
ber of people have searched IN vain
throughout the entire borough Ior
rooms in order that they might be
able to bring their families into the
borough to live. The shortage of
dwelling houses prevailed throughout
the entire summer, and the out-of-
town people had to commute to the
borough every day, but now with the
cold months coming on, these people
are anxious to get rooms here and
bring their families in. These peo-
pIe would be q very desirable element
to the local population, but it is
sure thing that they cannot live here
unless they get rooms. Several OF the
leading property holders have been
approached or the subject and have
been asked to build, but they refused,
saving that the demand Is only tenn
porary and as soon as the industrial
activities in the borough after the
war ceases, the people will move out
of the borough and leave them with
q lot of empty houses. 1t seems that
the prosperity of the borough has
worked an opposite effect. True,
more people are coming in, but they
cannot live here on account of a
shortage in dwelling houses. For the
first time in years. building Is prac-
tically at O. standstill.

There is another cigar factory
locating itself in the borough. This
company, which calls itself the c. &

JUST TO BE CONTRARY.

Again we hear that Wickersham is on the floor of the house fighting fish bills. Attacking u and that man. Talking against anything that looks like something and we wonder if he believes that Alaskans elected him merely to watch that nothing is pulled over them. It would seem so from the manner he goes at it. But that is mistake Alaskans have not only elected him to wach but to do things for them. In other words to propose and encourage good measures. To use his mind along a progressive line and frame up measures and have them enacted into laws for their benefit and not only to growl at others when they try to do something. Any body can find faults with others, but it takes progressive mind to find and encourage remedial measures in a lawmaking body. Instead of be- ing always on the alert to discover faults, Ii he only devoted some of that time to improve condl- tions. it would help some. His manner has al ways been to stop anything and everything and tell his constituents that he worked hard to dis cover some big steals" If he would only spend half of the time in devising ways and means to improve our conditions that he claims he is spend- ing in watching others, he might be entitled to some compliments, but just growing gets us nowhere This session of congress will come to an end, and possibly another and our fishing in- dustry will suffer, due to our delegate who keeps himself busy finding faults in others.

The next morning CTuesday) the Dispatch came out with another statement that Wickersham was leading Suzer by seven votes. When we consider that these conflicting reports have been repeated day after day since the election no won der the average reader of newspapers puts very little credence on newspaper reports.
