Perhaps I can persuade the old boy to loosen up on some of his bank roll and play angel. But anyway I'm going to be gone quite a stretch, and when I come back. I'll try to be q reformed character. But remember, wherever I am me art is true to Poll"
 HA bowed mockingly with his old manner, and walked toward the door, meeting Lillian as she came in.
 "So long, Lil,' he said carelessly. I'm going for a long walk. See you later.''
 She looked at him searchingly. "All right. she answered laconically. and then came oyer to me.
 "Mr. Gordon will be here in 8 half hour" she said. Please try to rest & little before he comes"
 She lowered the shades. and my pillows kissed me gently, and left the room. But I could neither rest nor sleep. The widest conjectures went through my brain. Who was Robert Gordon, and why was he so strangely interested in me?
 When Lillian came back she b4thed my hands and face and gave me an eggnog, before propping me up against my pillows to receive my visitor.
 "Of course you will stay with me, Lillian, while he is here,' said.
 She smiled enigMatically. ''Part of the time,'' she said.
 But when MT. Gordon came, bring ing with him an immense sheaf of roses, she left the room almost at once. giving as an excuse her wish to arrange the flowers.
 Don't Shrink From Me-
 My visitors eyes were burning with aL light that almost frightened me as he sat down by my bedside and took my hand in his.
 1"My dear child", he said, and though the words were such as any elderly man might address to a young woman, yet there was an intensity in them that made me uncomfortable. Are you sure everything Is all right with you?"
 'svery sure.", I returned, smiling. eff Mrs. Underwood would permit me to do SO. am certain could get up now"

 ! shrank back among my pillows. and wished that Lillian would return to the room. I began to wonder if Mir Gordan's brain was not slightly turned. Surely. the fact that he had once known and loved my mother was no excuse for the extravagant attitude he was taking.
 He saw the movement, and Into his eyes flashed look 50 mouTnful, so filled. with longing that was thrilled to the heart. The next he. threw himself upon his knees by the side of my bed, and cried out tensely:
 "Oh. my darling child, don't shrink from me. You will kill me. Don't you see? Can't you guess? am your father!"

A SATISFACTORY ENDING

(Vadez Mner)
 By decision of the Court and by the issuance to Jim by the Territorial Canvassing Board of certifi ;ate of election Charles A. Suzer the Democratic can lidate for Delegate from Alaska has been duly de- ;lared elected to that position and has left for Wash ngton to take up the duties of that position. This ends the exciting and long-drawn political contest staged ill Alaska, and has ended it, we believe satisfactorily to majority Of the citizens or he Territory.
 There is question but that of the most abid of the Wickersham partisans will assert that heir candidate robbed of the office but are confident their claim will not meet with the support ,f many in their own ranks. Wickersham held he office Delegate from Alaska successive There is doubt to the ability of the but there is considerable difference of opinion to whether he has consistently applied his admit ted ability to the best interests of the Territory, and this doubt sufficient at the last election to swing the overwhelming majority of former to defeat.
 It is regretable that the should have been evenly divided and still that the Canvass ng Board should have shirked the duties devolvng lpon them and permitted the matter to go into the Courts Even more unfortunate is the fact that the Territory burdened with officials who through part sanship desire to get square fail perform the duties of their office under their oath
 The decision of the Court in the delegateshp was
 complete vindicaton of the Attorney General uphold ng the opinion he had submitted to the Canvassing Board at their request and which they deliberately turned down. *
 senting the Territory there is but question to be settled. Will he represent the Territory as well IS did MT Wckersham; will he be able to secure for he Territory the muchneeded legislation he has set out to secure will he the Territory first and self last?
 We believe he will We are confident that he will give the best of himself to the promotion of the wei fare of the Territory, and that he will make record which both he and the citizens of Alaska may well proud, but only time will tell entering Con gress at most inopporune time. If war comes not he nor another will likely succeed in getting through much legislation for the north. The will occupy Ill minds and Alaska will be pushed far into the discard that it will probably be completely overlooked m ut we oeeve we he o will a do % his best and that best will delegate we might have sent to Washington.
