Hettie trudged back and forth from
the box factory where she earned just
enough to pay for the little, cold bed
room, the scanty meals and the cheap
clothes, which were necessary to ex-
istence. Her hours were long and her
pleasures few. Was it any wonder she
went when she could to the nickel
movies, and reveled in the delights OF
another world than hers? Even when
the films did touch her own world, and
the poor working girl was lured away
into perilous paths, she SO often was
rescued by handsome young men, or
kind, rich women that she lived hap
PLY ever afterward." Hethe shrank
from entering the paths Of vice. The
movies had done much for her in the
way of warning, more perhaps than
many sermons might have done. But
she was only seventeen, and she
wanted some of the good things, some
thing of the joy of life. She did not
want to suffer the horrors that hap
pened to the screen heroines, but she
did want to be RESCUED"
If only some rich woman would
adopt her. That was the dream that
became her constant companion. 1t
had happened to these other girls quite
frequently, why not to her? The hand
some young hero seemed such a remote
possibility, that the probability of be-
ing adopted appeared to be great
deal more likely to happen. In. her
prayers for the latter boon Hettie had
especially stipulated that the woman
must be rich, for to be adopted by q
poor woman, and put into the kitchen
to do all the work did not seem to offer
a pleasing alternative. 1t might prove
an even worse life than that of the box
factory.
Never having remembered her owr
parents, there entered also into hel
dream the longing for the kind Of af

the handsome young man played no
part in the girls vision. No, he was
always there. But she reasoned he was
quite sure to appear at the proper time
if she could go into the society where
he was to be found. Clearly the only
way out of it was to be adopted.
It had not entered .Hettie's mind
that some slight preparatory education
in grammar, and the mode of speech
required in cultured society might help
some in the process of acquiring an
adopted mother. She had had rudi.
mentary school training in the institu.

factory, but her association with the
girls Of that section Of the town, had
not added to the elegance of her Ian.
guage.
Poor little Hettie! she was bright,
kindly, and well-meaning, and her de.
sires were only the normal ones OF
youth. Once she told a girl compan,
ion of her wish to be adopted, and was
SO laughed at and fidiculed, that she
ever after kept her aircastles to her.

1t became kind Of obsession.
\ Whether it was because her vision

small body was in the path of rushing

fate took hand, there came the awful
impact of the automobile, and Hettie

row, white bed, and looked up into the
faces Of a doctor and nurse. She gazed
about for the adopted mother, but
there were only nurses moving around
the place. Clearly something had hap,
pened, and the adopted mother ought
to bega part Of it. When she tried tc
move she found it very painful, and
she was quite stiff with bandages. She
asked for an explanation, and was told
she had been struck by an automobile
but that she would be all right In q
few days. She asked whose automo
bile it was, and the nurse answered il
was Mrs. Burlson's, very kind lady
who was very sorry, and had brought
kef there, and fold them to do every
thing they could, and that she would be
responsible for the pay. Hettie felt

sure her dream was coming true, and
she asked the nurse when the lady was,

coming again.
"She didn't mention anything about
coming again." she answered. Then
seeing the girls disappointed look, she
added: "But I dare say she WILL
sOf course she WILL" was Hettie's
confident reply.
Hettie suffered great deal of pain.
But after ALL she told herself she must
expect that. All the girls on the screen
who had acquired adopted mothers,
and lived happily ever after, had suf-
fered in some way beforehand.
The next day she was told mes
i senger had come from Mrs. Burlson,
and did she wish to see him !? OF course
she did.
A young man came in carrying fruit
and flowers. He could not fOreone min
ute have been taken for the handsome
hero. His face was quite plain,
bronzed, lean, and with the disadvan-
tage of a turn-up nose. But his eyes
were honest, his mouth kindly, and his
form straight, and well knit. He came
with mixture of pity and diffidence to
the forlorn little figure on the cot. He
told her Mrs. Burlson wanted to know
how she was, and had sent her the
fruit and flowers. Rather awkwardly
he told her how sorry he was. Then
Hettie noticed he wore a chauifeurs
dress, and guessed he was the one who
ran her down. But she was too busy
thinking of Mrs. Burlson to bear him
any grudge, and she asked him when
the lady was coming? He did not seem
to know, but said he would tell Mrs.
Burlson that she would like to see her.
The chauffeur came every day to see
her. The second time 1T was to tell her
that Mrs. Burlson was out of town, but
that she had left word for him to in
quire every day about Miss Hettie Bax-
ter. She found out his name was
Julius Frost, and was always glad to
see him, because he brought some mes.
sage from her probable adopted moth.
er. Julius was at first so filed with
remorse at having driven over the girl,
he was more awkward than usual in
this wore off bit, and he cheered the
patient with jolly stories,- and cheering
promises of how he wanted to take
her for some rides in that very car
when she was able to go. All this
seemed in Hettie's mind to point to the
fact of probable adoption into the
| family.
At last one day Mrs. Burlson came
She was very pretty, beautifully
gowned young woman, much too young
to be thought Of as mother, even an
adopted one, and she spoke to Hettie
in cold patronizing way that SC

Important Meeting of the Fish and Game Club Was Held Last
 Evening.
APPOINT COMMITTEES
Steps Taken to Provide Game in Order to Help Conserve Meat for
 the War.

Last night at the meeting of the Southeastern Alaska Fish and Game Glub several matters of vital i'm Dortanoe were discussed by the large number of members present and rec concentrations were made and com mittees appointed to gather data and to report at a later meeting
 The first question before the meet ing was the discussion of the bill
 introduced ill Congress recently by Delegate Charles A. Sulzer providing for the sale during the open season md north of latitude 62 of moose, caribou and mountain sheep carcas- es.
 The bill provides, that it shall be lawful to kill moose, caribou and sheep in that part of Alaska north of latitude sixty-two degrees between September 1st and December 31st next following in each year. both dates inclusive, except that no per son shall kill in any one year more than two moose, three caribou and three mountain sheep. #
 The bill further provides that such carcas6s after being tagged by a game warden under the provisions of the bill might be sold in the public market during the open sea son and penalty for the violation of the act of a $200 fine and three months imprisonment has been pro vided.
 w. H. Babbitt, forest ranger, was present and reported that moose have been seen as far south as lower Speel River, Taku river and at Dry Bay near the Alsec river As the 62nd parallel runs through Copper Center, after considerable discussion the meeting voted to recommend that the provisions be made applica- ble to all of Alaska for the period of the war This would allow the killing of moose which cross the line from Canada in Southeastern Alas ka and also those on the Kenai Peninsula which would supply a great part of the meat used in cer- tain sections of Alaska during the open season, tending greatly to con serve the meat supply of the world.
 It also was recommended that the open season be from August 1st in- stead of September 1st, and that in stead of a fee of 12h cents for tagging carcasses that a fee of 25 cents be charged.
 The questions of an increased bounty on wolves, provisions for ad game wardens, the use of poison to exterminate wolves, and the employment of special hunters who would receive additional com pensation in addition to the bounty were referred to a special commit

Thereby America broke the tacit agreement, Do not mix in American affairs and | will not mix in affairs outside America, and gave us the right to set up doctrine of Greater Germany against that of Greater America.

 Trade with the United States forms the biggest but in many re- spects the unhappiest chapter in the over-sea rela tions of Germany Not only is the balance of trade heavily against us, but, above all, the bal ance of emigration.
