her deep respect for her. her desire
to shield her and spare her sorrow
and then had declared that her hus-
band was false to her.
He goes to see certain lady every
day." said Minna. Dear Mrs. Davenal,
spare yourself grief. Men are all
alike. 1t can do no good to unmask
him. Let the episode pass.
Never" Lura was aroused and
then Minna had said: VERY well,
will take you tomorrow where you
shall see for yourself" and she had
kept her word, for looking across a
court between two hotel buildings in
a room Lura saw her husband and
woman she did not know. The latter
smiled at Sydney Dayenal. She play
fully stroked his face, she even kissed
him.
Lura was heartbroken. Viewing her
with crafty eye, Minna began to
give advice. Why not abandon this
false husband? AT least, teach him
lesson, disappear, if only temporar-
lily. From a distance bring him to his
feet in humiliation and contrition!
And to all this poor distressed Lura
listened, never dreaming that a wom-
an at heart a wicked plotter was bent
on separating her from a man she had
once loved.
ayes. yes" she sobbed, take me
somewhere away from this heart
break and sorrow!"
Il have a cousin, Mrs. Lavery, a
widow, living about a hundred miles
from here, who will be glad to give
you a temporary home suggested
the specious Minna, and Lura, half
mad with her grief and suspicious,
agreed to be at a place Minna named
later that afternoon, prepared for the
Journey. She was to bring her grip
and Minna was to convey her to the
train and start her on her way to Sc
clusion and safety, as she put it.
Lura returned home in tears and
made her preparations for departure,
sobbing heartbrokenly. She wrote a
brief note to her husband, telling him
that she had discovered his perfdy
and that she would never return to
him. She placed this on stand in
their room, where he would be sure
to see it. Then she left the house.
Lura was unfamiliar with the adj
dress Minna had given her. She had
told her il was a quiet restaurant and
to go to it's side. door anu wait in a
secluded rear room. Lura in her ur-
gency and confusion of mind arrived
a half hour ahead of the appointed
time.
She shivered and glanced about her
apprehensively as she entered vacant
room. The sound of clinking glasses
and ribald voices in an adjoining
apartment frightened her. Suddenly a
girl wearing a tawdry garb peered in
to the room. She viewed Lura critic
ally and then she approached her.

A writer in Farm and Fireside gives
some ingenious ways to identify poi
son bother in the dark and to- elm
mate all chance of accident from mis-
taking drugs. 9TH safest method is
to run a cord through the cork, leav-
ing about eight in he of string on OPP
posite sides of the cork. Then drive
the cork in as tightly as possible and
wrap the string around the neck of
the bottle in opposite directions and
tie securely. II that bottle is opened

there are no babies on the place, an
easier method is to run three or four
pins criss-cross through the cork. The

ooh! why did you bring me here
why did you ever tell me?
Mrs. Lura Davenal, two years a
bride, moaned and wept and drew
back from the window whittier sus-
pense and suspicion and the subtle
plotting of a woman she should never
have trusted, led her.
She deemed Minna Burton friend.
She should never have placed faith
in this false counselor. She knew she
had been one of a group of admirers
of her husband before his marriage,
who had been particular never to go
out with her, for her reputation was
not clean one, but he had been cour-
teous to her. Minna had not seen
much of him until the last month.
Then lady friend Of hers had init
mated to Laura that Minna had told
her secretly that she felt sorry for her
because her husband was deceiving
her.
The lady friend had brought about
a meeting between the two. Lura
had demanded to know the occasion of
Minna's insinuation. The latter, crafty,
jealous schemer that she was, had
hemmed ard hawed and feigned en-
barrassment. - Then, when '4rmly
pressed by Lura, she had spoken of

Safe to Jump on Him.

Safety first" seems to be the motto
of some of the judges in the West
Indies. When an alien prisoner is
brought before them they consider the
possibility of a gunboat from the cui-
prit's native land popping in to make
trouble.
Tt is told that Haiti magistrate on
examining a prisoner found that he
was from Switzerland.
Switzerland" he unused "Switzer-
land has no seacoast, has it,"
NO seacoast, your honor" said the
interpreter.
And no navy?"
mo navy, your honor"
Very well, then said the Judge.
I'll give him year at hard labor"

| kind" she said, but I can guess from
something | overheard this afternoon
| that you are here to meet Minna Bur
ton"
IF / was-if-if-has she been
here?" faltered Lura.
''She will be soon and you must &C
away at once Listen. lady, fly from
that woman. All she has had you meet
her for is to compromise you, foI
this is den no respectable person
should enter"
Lura turned white as a sheet Her
deepest suspicious were aroused. She
| hurried from the place. She fairly ran
until several squares distant.
Now she was more hopelessly
wretched than ever She thrilled with
horror as she thought of the wicked
snare set for her feet. Were all wom-
ankind unworthy.and cruel? She shud-
dered, a score of wild thoughts in her
mind Even the dark, deep river
seemed to invite her. Gradually the
distraction grew less intense. She re-
membered a married school friend.
Surely she, her closest companion for
four years, would offer her a refuge.
Lura resolved to return home, destroy
the note left for her husband, write
to her friend asking her to take her
in, await a reply and then leave the
house forever.
She was faint and trembling from
excitement and despair as she neared
the house. She entered, stood dazed
as she saw her husband coming from
upstairs He was never home at that
time of the day. He must have found
the note, and yet with beaming face
he came towards her.
"You dear little wanderer," he cried.
Wherever have you been, when /
have great surprise for you?"
"A surprise?' she repeated, scarcely
knowing what she said.
''Yes, come" and he entwined his
arm about her and drew her past the
drawing room draperies.
"Lura, my nearest and dearest of
kin, Myra Blodgett," spoke Sydney
and Lura faced. the young lady that
Burton had noSkted out to hers She
extended a hand, but her senses were
Keeling. What did it all mean?
Cousin Myra is responsible for the
first secret | ever kept from you,
dear" proceeded Sydney. "She is a
runaway-cruel papa and all that! She
would not let me bring her here for
fear she would be located, but within
an hour her gallant knight Grant will
be here with clergyman and then
we can face the issue
II will be down in moment" STAN
mered Lura and almost unceremon-
iously left husband and 4p ests., Her
nerves were at fever heat. The note!
Sydney must have found it. Yes, it
was gone!
Lura sank to a chair, gasping for
breath What would Sydney think?
How could she explain it all? Then
suddenly a great cry Of JOY left her
lips.
The note, The breeze coming
through the open window had blown
it where she saw thunder the bu-
reau.
And Sydney Davenal marveled at
the strange clinging devotion of his
wife all that day, and the sweet, hap
py smile of supreme content that new
err after left her face.

REACH ALASKANS THROUGH
 PAPERS

The newspapers Of Alaska are the Ideal means of reaching the public in Aasaa," stated Mrs. Ella Alexaudec BooIe, New York cluL woman, a. Juneau the other day.
 The statement was made during 8 discussion relative tq securing the services of a man lecturer to travel along the coast of Alaska in the iu-eresJs Of prohibition. Several Of tue delegates were in favor of securing the lecturer and during the discussion Mrs. BoOle asked le ye to address the convention
 Il have made a trip along the coast of Alaska, and find that the newspapers of this section are the only means of reaching the people, she said. Recently l visited Cor dcya and although l was there a neck l did no: reach 50 people by personal contact. People in Al aska do not tuIu ou- To hear q lee turer unless personally interested iu me subject under discussion. A lruturer might come here and all thrse iuterated iu our cause would turn ou. but those against Us, or indifferent, would not. and etfcl ts would lc wasted.
 II you have someth'ug to say lc the public, use the newspapers. In New York We don't buy a g o',',ck edition at neon, nor do we buy the neon editions at o'clock. They are old. But in Alaska the papers are read by everyone, and sometimes are saved for avs and days just for some certain article. In Dauy cases where one family takes a paper, after the editions have been read they are passed on 10 other families and sometimes as many as five families, read the stme paper.
 This is especially true in the mining camps, and while a paper may be only printing a certain nun ber Of copies, about ten times as many people see and rad the paper as i4ere are subscribers.
 Among another thing in con- uectirn with the papers, the AL askan people don't just glance at She psadIiues and throw the paper away. They read every word in them, from editorials to advertising and f you a.. thinking of spend Ing money for a lecturer, don't do it. Spend the, same amount for space iu your Alaskan papers and you will accomplish many times the sane amount of good with the same amount cf money"

And tEe rerly of the railroad builder yGs th&t it would be about tue latter paIt of 1919.
 "Oi course" continued MT.

 Nineteen hundred nineteen is a year later than had been figured oY many people of the interior, but even one extra wear will matter lit tl4 as long as it is coming.
 At tLe present time little coII is being purchased by the Alaskan Engineeriug commission from Dix lDohelty. He is working on what might be called ne edge of tue ccaI fields, Mr. Edes reports. The first coal hauled over the railroad was taken from theie tc Anchorage recently.

 Asker how the work would pro gross this year from Matanusaa Junction, toward Fairbanks, MT. Edes replied that it was probable that steel would be laid for q dis tanre of fifteen miles from t~e point where the rOud cuts off to the coal fields
 Continuing, oward Broad Pass, there will be quite big stretch of the l'I.e tha' will be cleared and graded, ready for the laying of

He also spoke well ot the trail, saying hat the road ocm- mission had done well to have as good a trail a3 it was, consider 'nz that it has never gotten any large amount of money in any one year to do the work He also said that he agreed with Col Rich ardson in the belief that the only way he could ever build a fist class boulevard would be to get a llarge appropriation in one year. - Fairbanks News-Miner.
