of a rail fence. Suddenly the silence of the summer morning was broken by the lOw-toned hOnk-honk of mo- tor car, and q familiar gray roadster of arlStOCrutic lines came purring along the road and ground to stop opposite the busy berry picker. A transformed Helen nodded a gay good morning." Leroy Talmage climbed from behind the steering wheel and with one leap was over the low stone wall, and with widening eyes stood looking down at baby Marsh. "Da da," gurgled the infant, lifting entreatlng blue eyes and chubby arms.
 "You rascal" and the tall military man caught the child up, held him aloft, then cuddled the little creature in his strong arms. The rose-lear mouth was pressed to his bronzed cheek and the busy fingers played with the military cross.
 Why, Baby Marsh, you are alto gether too familiar" scolded Helen. He calls every man he sees Dada" explained the girl, with bright blush. His father Is in France and he natur- ally misses him."
 Don't apologize for baby, Mrs.-er Marsh; let me play with him. l am very fond of children"
 When luncheon was over, the man sat quietly smoking and watching the girl with the sleeping child resting against her knee.
 Mrs. Marsh" he began, "I was amazed to find that you were a married woman" After a tense silence he added earnestly: "Would 1t interest you to know that have never been in love-not the reol thing?" Another silence. The girl stirred restlessly. The man went on huskily: "When I first saw you tripping Rlong your quaint vll- lage streets, in your simple white gown and rose-wreathed hat, with your Red Cross bag on your arm-well, l knew had reached turning point in my life-that's all. l hope you will not think this confession impertinent. I am not in the habit of making love to other mems wives, and I hope you'll forgive me-" ...
 The girl sat with demure, doHncaSt eyes, twinIng the child's silken Curls about her finger. Suddenly she sprang to her feet with an exclamation. "Quick, 1t Is raining; big drop Splashed on baby's nose; We will get soaked. Mir. Talmadge, will you kindly motor us home?"
 Ten minutes later they pulled up be- fore Burk cottage. Helen turned a rcgulsh face to her companion. May I trouble you to drive up the street a block further? I must return Baby Marsh to his mother. He was bor- rowed cnly for the day. And would like to introduce myself. My name Is Miss Helen Burk-"
 ~Then you are not marrled?" e1- claimed the man, and he turned a transformed face to the girl.
 Mot that know of," returned Helen, with q glance that meant much. Wont you forgive me, Mir, Talmage? sf!e said, trembling with emotion.
 'Tu think 1t over, sweetheart. It is a small thing to forgive, when the ending is so wonderful" She looked up at him sweetly. There's big life ahead of us, dear" His hand closed over hers in sudden tension. CCopyright, 19ls by the Mcclure Newspa-

TELEGRAPHIC SERVICE

TAg Dawson News has been sup glsmg the people of Dawson with .-.esruphic service on the war and uu other matters Of late which has eN.iyed mucn ia> orabla comment. Tie yv,uwv and the excellence of the mHJter supplied have been some thing highly gratifying to caretul ..s CTS who are appreciative of ta- difficulties under which such d service is maiutaiued in this iso- .ALaa Arctic region. However, there H~y so many who, while aupreciatiHe vt he fact the telegrams coming to lsr News are thoroughly reliable, la Der under the misappTehensiou that the teiegramS cost the News nothing. Rep rts have gained currency that the government delivers the tele- srD"hic advices to the paper rr-e Ot charge. Such is absolutely witncut foundation. The words dominion Government Service" which are run with many of the tela' grams are part of daily service which the News buys from the Do miulUu government telegraphic line .- system. The matter is assembled .,. I central point outside by tLe gov sr.ueut, and telegraphed' direct to ..- \ews. The News pays for the a..ar Of assembling and also pays ta.. 5. .-sruphic tolls on these mess ~-.a. The item of expense is no -.--.. oue, and is one of the burdens "a..a maHe 1t struggle to main ra. daily paper in this region.
 Nc. ou,y haS the News given the rgauIar Douiuion government sery- lsg to the readers, but it gives them ~.sJ tue benefit Of a special report :so4 UttawA, where it keeps a regu- Iar correspondent, whose services ate Q~jL Tor, and the messages from waom also are paid for by the News. ulItr news special messages ire queDtiy come 10 this paper at no iuoouSiLerable cost to the paper.
 The latest stroke of enterprise of rhg News iu supplying its read CTS las been in connection with the wreck of the Sophia. Already thou
 aats cf words have been teIe- grgohed to the News on this disas- ter, from Whitehorse, Skagway and Juneau. and the tolls on most of the matter is far heavier than usual, be-. cluse there are three separate tele' sgqph lines between Dawson and Ju- ueau, and each eNacts the regular press rate on this matter. Notwith- standing this heavy cost, the News has determined to give its patrons tns full reports on the fate of those SD uear and dear to the community. + has been reported that the government and private concerns have paid for tha messages concerning the Sophi The facts are that the nameA of every person who was a passenger on the Sophia which has been teel- graphed here, and every story con- cer1ing the wreck which has come hera has been paid for by the News. These facts are stated so that the peoule of Dawson and vicinity will know W hat it means for a paper to supply it's readers with column after column of news by wire.
