that you give me your promise to allow
him no share in the mine"
Marie looked down. After a silence
she answered in a low tone: II prom

''That is ALL" he said. 'T must now
be going"
"Wait," she urged. "You have not
told me why-why you have done
this"
"Is 1t necessary" he replied. "Please
do not fancy it is because I am at
all unselfish. You have promised your
self to him. Knowing that no longer
had even fighting chance, I have
merely sought to make sure that he
that you should have at least fair op-
portunity to be happy. That is ALL"
He fingered moment for last look
at her beautiful face, upon which had
fallen the inscrutable stolidity of the
Indian in her nature. No other ex-
preston could have so completely con-
f1rmed him in his belief that he had
lost his fighting chance to win her.
He faced about to return up the
mountain the way he had come.
Marie stood as he left her, silent
and immobile, following his brisk
ascent up the path to the mine shaft
with wide-eyed gaze that perceived
the objective image, yet at the same
time seemed to be looking inward. A
purpling that shaded the blue-black-
ness of her eyes to violet-black alone
betrayed the intensity of her emotion.
The receding figure had passed
along the spur to the foot of the steep
ascent up the mountain before the
girl became aware that Vandervyn was
close beside her. He started to pass
behind, to where Hardy had dropped
the rifle and revolver. In a flash of
swift movement she sprang ahead of
him and set her foot upon the rifle
barrel.
"Y0u shall not"
Her voice was low and seemingly
tranquil, her face as stolid as before,
but the look in her eyes made him
hesitate. He glanced about at Dupont.
The trader had turned his back on
Hardy, and was staring fixedly into
the valley at party Of Indians that
had come down the far side and were
pitching their camp in the meadow. It
was evident that he did not propose
to be witness to anything Wander
Iyyn might do.
"Mon PEREZ" quietly called Marie.
He shot startled glance at her,
hesitated, and came over to them.
!Vandervyn's eyes were upturned to
the figure on the mountainside in a
look Of hate that was not pleasant to
fsee. Dupont followed the menacing
stare, and then glanced away as if
caught in the guilty act. Fast as
Hardy was scaling the ascent, he was
still within easy rifle shot and would
teontinue to be for several minutes.
Vandervyn moistened his dry Lips.

Word to Girls.

The late Inez MilhOlland Boissevain,
the beautiful suffragist, never wearied
of impressing on young girls the duty
of being as beautiful as possible, for
she knew what an instrument for good
beauty, rightly used, can be.
One of Mrs. Boissevain's favorite
dicta was:
"a girl can't help her looks, but her
looks can help her."

Purport of Russ Manifesto, Declares Gov. Gen. l
 Stakovich.

Petrograd, Aug. 3-The provisional government has refused to acknowl- edge Finland's independence law and has instead issued a manifesto dissolv- ing the landtag and appointing a gen. eral election on Oct. l, declaring that the government when the landtag meets will submit its n law regu. lating, Russo Finish relations
 The manifesto, which is signed by all 10 ministers.- exp eunds the provis- ionaI governments contention that Finland enjoys independence only within the limits. defined by her con stitution, the essential factor of which is the position oft he emperor and grand duke. which has now passed to the provisional government. The independence law, the manifesto says. not being submitted for the sanction of the provisional government as the authority vested with the former grand dukes right of sanction, is un- constitutiones, and further declares that the government "cannot recognize the Finnish landtag's right arbitrarily to seize the freedom of will of the coming constituent assembly"
 The fate of Finland can be decided only in agreement with the Russian eople, the manifesto declares.
 The minister for Finland took the manifesto to Helsingfors and deliver ed it to Gov. Gen. Stakovich. who read it to the senate, after which in a friendly seech he said:
 This manifesto is the most demo- cratic action yet performed by the revolutionary government. for it makes Finland's people master of their own destiny"
 The landtag is expected to decide it's. course of action tonight. It is said that the members of the high court have telegraphed to Helsingfors declaring that they would refuse to administer any future landtag enact ments passed under an unconstitution- al independence law.

PROSECUTE DR. COIN, DEMANDS
 GERMAN PRESS
Revealed Secrets of Grown Council in Potsdam
 July 5, 1914.


 Amsterdam, Aug. 3-The Deutsche Tages Zeitung challenges the German government to prosecute Dr. Cohn, socialist member of the reichstag, for his alleged revelations regarding the crown council held in Potsdam on July 5, 1914. The newspaper says 1t knows the. revelations published in the London Times came from Stock holm direct and from the German independent socialists, and it offers to give the full evidence in case the government desires to court martial Deputy Cohn.
 The London Times asserted that a conference was held in the presence of Emperor William in F'otsdam July 5, 1914, at which the political and military personages in Germany and Austria-Hungary took part, and al which a plan was proposed to let loose the war. The Wolff bureau of Berlin on August 1 said it had been officially authorized to declare that the statement was pure invention The news agency said the Times had supported its allegation on statements made by Deputy Co,1n in the main committee of the reichstag. These statements, it was added. were refuted in committee by the German govern. ment as incorrect.
