 Geological Survey Statement
 The United States Geological Sur vey. in a recent bulletin. declares that the mos, important event of the year in connection with coal mining in Al. aska was the completion of the Mat. anuska branch of the Government railroad. The survey places the coal production of Alaska in 1917 at e1.o00 tons. valued at $500, ,000. with the larg- est production coming from the Eska Creek mines in the Matanuska field. Coal also was mined at the Doherty mine in the Matanuska field. at the Bluff Point mine on Cook Inlet. on Cache Creek and near Candle. The high grade coal on Chickaloon is now being opened by the Alaskan Engineer ing Commission for its own use in the Construction and operation of the railroad, the coal lands :n the Nenana field have been subdivided for leasing by private parties, and the Govern ment road is being pushed southward to this field from Nenana on the Tan ana River. It is believed the railroad will reach this field and make this con- ing summer.

their coal from Alaska
 All Of the coal mined last year was used in Alaska and most of it by the railroad which hauled it. The fact that the local demand was met by local production is looked upon as showing 3 net gain Of more than 50.000 tons in the tonnage for use Of the United States and its allies. Had it been necessary 10 ship this coal from the Pacific coast Of continental United States. the entire cargo space of two ships Of the size Of the |. S. trans port Crook would have been required for the whole season.
 Increased Fish Food Production Another striking effect of the speed up policy which all Alaska adopted was the great increase during 1917 of fish food production; the total values Of fish products jumped from s22, 900, 900 10 s+2 010. .000, almost double In 1917 Alaska sent 10 the United States more than 250.090. 900 pounds Of canned sal mon alone. an increase Of 22,000, 900 oyer 'he output 0: the previous year During the same period Alaska fisher men harvested from her seas and riv- CTS nearly 12.000. 600 pounds of fresh fish. other than salmon. an increase over 1916 Of more than 2,000. 900 pounds, and in the way or smoked, dried and other cured fish Alaska ex- ported more than 6.500.o00 pounds, an increase Of something more than 1,O00,- 0G0 pounds over 1916. Altogether Alaska sent out Of her borders in 1917 mora than 2ss. s.5o0,0e0 pounds Of fish food. or more than 25,000.00o pounds obova her production in 1916.
 Secretary Lanes Comments
 Secretary Of the Interior Lane, who has charge of Alaskan affairs. con- Eenging on the 1917 record made by the Territory said:
 The results at this time, with a greater part of the world hungry, are moS+ gratifying. Alaska has an ener- ge-ic. patriotic, pioneer population which understands fully what the war means. although so far removed from the seat Of action Every citizen Is enlisted in the effort to increase pro- duc-ion, knowing that the greatest good Alaska can accomplish is in recent bulletin. declares that the use

 What the Germans mean by a strong peace" a German peace" was recently expressed by Gen. Von Lie bert. leading Prussian conservative.
 For Us there is but one principle to be followed. and we recognize no other. We hold that might is right. " must know neither sentiment, hu- manity. consideration, nor compas- sion. We must have Belgium and the north Of France. France must be made to pay until she is bled white. We must have a strong peace

 T say 10 the Kaiser I say 10 the Germans. in the name of the Ameri- can labor movement: You cant talk peace with the American woi kers; you can't talk peace with us: you can't talk to us ar all now. We are fight .ng now. Either you smash your Kaiser autocracy or we will smash it for you.

CHAPTER V
Two O'clock IN THE MORNING


1t would seem that this allusion to the
gesture made by Coralie would draw all
eyes her way. But it failed to do so,
SO great was the interest felt in Mr.
Cassetty, struck thus in the very core
IF his being by this devastating blow.
Coralie not his! You might as well
have told him that the blood in his
veins belonged to another man. He
laughed as the words left Mr.. Melville's
lips, derisively at first and with a
gurgling sound OF rage, which made
those who credited Mr.. Melville with
speaking the truth, and admired while
they hardly approved his attitude,
tremble lest the next minute should see
them at each others throats. But as he
continued to meet his brother-in-law's
eye fixed upon him in straightforward
and unabashed assertion he gradually
lost his aspect of inconceivable disdain
and took on pallor so dead white that
we began to dread some worse termina-
tion of this scene than a hand-to-hand
encounter, and were more than relieved
when he gasped out, with sudden
attempt at self-control, touching enough
In view of the frightened face on the
pillow:
You are playing with me, Melville
Never, from the day first gave you my
reasons for believing this child the off
spring of my wife, Helena Cassetty,
have you ever raised a protest or
opposed my claim in any way. 1t is
cruel, it is inhunan, for you to do so now;
besides, you have no proof to support
your assertion, while L"
Let us argue this elsewhere" put in
MIR. Melville, smoothly. "Coralie has
borne all she can today. So much am
father enough to perceive. Only, IS
some here may still doubt the correct
ness of my attitude in this matter, let

'nswer, too, if you do not immediately
take Coralie's hand in yours, and not
only apologize for your late words, but
emphasize your apology by an immedi-
ate marriage. We cannot let this dear
girl suffer because of your unreasonable

you have no real concern. | exact

nor has Coralie ever told me that YOU
possessed any special rights here, we
as guest who, some twenty wears
back, was married for a short time to
her m )ther's sister"
"Coralie is no talker; so much vol
must have seen tod "" was the quiet
retort, "and if h we no rights in this
h use save those of passin; guest. |
have rights over this child which | am
bound you shall respect. 1t was to me
she gave those jewels! l did not wish
to acknowledge this, since the declara-
ton will cause great trouble and dis
turbance in this family, but l can lot
see the innocent compromised. She
gave me her jewels and | took them. ,ot
because | am no gentleman this to
Mr.. Cassetty, who stood aghast at this
revelation, which certainly astonished
all presently, "but because she wished to
show some .vor to one who, from her
birth, had received lothing of all the
dutiful recognition she owed him.
Thomas, blow is impending over you,
which | grieve to let fall" (This still
to Mr.: Cassetty, now facing him in a
white heat of intolerable suspense.)
" You have cherished and brought up
this dear girl as though she were your
child. You believe her to be So But
she is not-she is my child! And it is
this knowledge, coming to her after
twenty years of confidence in her
relationship to you, wlich has pros
trated her and made her unwilling to
marry till she can do so in her right
name. Coralie, is this not so? Coralie
Melville, speak! Or if you cannot
speak, raise your hand, finger, just
to show that you recognize me as your
father, and that l am not uttering a
brazen falsehood! She does! She lifts
her hand! She owns me for her father,
! now own her for my childl May
God help you, Cassetty!"

at that moment the clergyman re-
entered and took his old stand at the
loot OF the bed. Other persons ca ne in,
and Mr.. Beauchamp, with an en-
couraglng word and smile to his ,earlv
collapslng bride, raised her once more
to half-sitting posture while Miss
Ffolllet rearranged the laces about her
and dropped a mass of blossoms on the
bed.
Dr. Rodman opened his lips.
be brief, murmured some one.
he brides breath came in great
gasps; wonder the doctor allowed the
ceremony to go on.
Dearly beloved"
Pardon me-" broke in Mr.. Cassetty,
with sudden remembrance, "we have
forgotten the ring! Coralie would not
feel married without ring If you
will wait Just one instant, l will get her
mothers fer her; that will consecrate
this marriage. Where do you keep it
dear?"
This to the quivering, st rtled bride.
~ don't know" she stammered.
".I-.I have forgotten-let me be mar
rled without one. I'D rather"
There was something in her tone, and
In her manner, also, that was quite
strange and unnatural. We forgot that
she was ill-forgot that the cord was
strained almost to breaking, in the
wonder and curiosity aroused by her
mysterious emotion.
"You do not mind being married
without ring?" she continued, looking
up with pleading eyes into her lovers
face
He hesitated; love can blind man to
much, but not to everything
Let your father fetch the ring" he
said; " it cannot be far from your Jewell
box; its associations are much too
solemn and precious"
Her eyes filled, not with tears but
with an agitatcd recognition of some
secretly known possibility, which made
her look haggard in moment. She
moved in his arms and looked about her
as if for succor, but recoiled and shook
her head as the doctor leaned toward
her.
1t is mental help she needs" mur-
INJURED that good man, drawing back to
my side. owe can do nothing for her."
Meanwhile Mr.. Cassetty had left the
room, followed by Miss Ffolliet, and the
constralnt of the ensuing silence was
almost too much for us all, to say
