STARVATION IS FEARED
 AMONG KENlI NATIVES

Three hundred and seventy natives at Kenai are facing starvation and un- gil food can be sent or the first steam fr up Cook Inlet lands there the na- lives must live upon moose meat and snow The thirty-fiye white persons at Kenai are only little better off and their provisions are so low that they have none to divide with the na- lives. At present the natives have no sugar, flour, rice or even potatoes. The Libby, McNeill & Libby company's warehouse at Kenai has sold every thing with the exception of sufficient supplies to last a crew of 20 men for several weeks, expected to arrive there in the early spring, to put the Cannery jn shape. The store at Kenai is de- pleted of all stock, in fact the store keeper having secured his recent sales from the cannery warehouse. This is the word brought to Seward by w. N. Dawson, stOrekeeper at Kenai, who ar rived recently and is stopping at the Hotel Sexton while waiting Tor the first steamer to the states. MT. Daw- son says that the last steamers up the Inlet refused to stop at Kenai owing to the lateness of the season and the de sire to make Anchorage and out again as quickly as possible to avofd freez- ing in. We have some tea left, but rhis is no good unless sugar is used, and sugar is sold out" said MT, Daw- son. "The white residents laid in their winter supplies but have been giving what they could to the natives but they are now holding only sufficient provisions to last them until the first steamer arrives The situation is Cer tainly serious. What supplies can be taken by dog team over the trail from Seward would only be drop in the bucket, so to speak. I am going JC Seattle to endeavor to secure a large stock for the first steamer up the In let with the promise that the steamer will land at Kenai"

SOLDIERS KEENLY STUDY
 TECHNICAL LITERATURE

LOS ANGELES, March 7.-Technic- al books for soldiers is the need of the library at Camp Kearney, and the word has gone forth to all the profes- sional societies, guilds, and associa- tion in California to send their surplus copies to the cantonment library.
 The library has been one Of the most successful branches of the community service work at Camp Kearney, ac- Cording to the records of attendance, and the words of the men themselves Its shelves were stocked, in the main. by donations of books from people in different parts of the country who were interested through the recent war library campaign. These dona- tions were largely of fiction and the lighter literature, and while the li- brariaus report a continued demand for such material. they say there is also strong demand for books on engineering in all it's branches and allied subjects such as physics, ma thematics, chemistry, electricity, and automobile technology.
 As an aid toward the relief of this demand, technical societies in South ern California are calling on their members to bring in spare books. A card recently sent out by the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, Los Angeles section, bore the following request to members, which has been followed in substance by other tech nical societies here.
 The Camp Kearney librarian asks us for technical and scientific books and magazines Mir. Perry has agreed 10 forward them if we will deliver| them to any branch in Los Angeles. Send yours"
 The Mir Perry mentioned is Everett R Perry, Los Angeles librarian, and a member of the national war Liberty board MT. Perry said the response bad been general, but still inadequate 10 meet the demand
 The camp librarian said, in discus sing the call for such works by en- listed men, that army officers were pleased to learn of the technical studies Of their men, as it indicated an intense interest in the more technical tide of the soldering profession, and 7he existence of a type of mind cap. able of assimilating the knowledge that qualities the soldiers for later ad- vauCemcnt

CHAPTER n.
De Spain Changes His Mind.

Before De Spain had walked far he
heard music from the open-air dancing
pavilion in Grant street. Stirred by an
idle curiosity, he turned the corner
and stopped to watch the crowded
couples whirling up and down the
raised platform under paper lanterns
and red streamerS to the music of an
automatic piano. He took his place in
a fringe Of onlookers that filed the
idewalk. But he was thinking as he
stood, not Of the DoisterOus dancing or
the clumsy dancers, but Of the broken
lever and the defeat at the fairgrounds.
1t still ranked In his mind. While he
stood thinking the music ceased.
A man, who appeared to be in au-
thOrity, walked to the center of the
dancing-1oor, made IN announcement
that De Spain failed to catch, and
looked toward a young couple stand
ing In an attitude of waiting at the
head of the hall.
All eyes being turned their way, De
SPANS attention as well was drawn
toward them The man was powerful
in stature, and rather too heavy, out
straight as an indian. His small. red
dish face was tanned by the sun and
wind, and from the handsome nat down
to the small, nigh-heeled and spurred
boots, he wore the distinctive cowboy
rig of the mountains. De Spain
seemed to recall that this particular
fellow had crowed the ioudest when
he himself forfeited the shooting-match
earlier In the day.
But De Spain, unamiable as ne aow
was, looked with u~nconcealed interest
at the mans dancing partner She
too. was Drowned by the mountain sun

spending with a sort of fiery i'm
patience to her partners guiding, she
caught the rapid step of the music,
nd together the two swept down the
door. The spectators soon showed
their admiration Of the dancing with
lnrestrained handclapping, and fol-
owed with approving OutcrieS. Every
,Waying step, every agile turn proved
loW sure Nan was Of herself, and how
perfectly her body answered to every
.XactiOn of the quick movement of the
lance. Gale Morgan seemed the mer-
ast attendant for his partner, who, with
quickened pulses, gave herself up more
and more to the lively call Of the
music.
once the two swung away out, near
10 De SPANS corner. AS Nan Whirled
by, De Spain. either with the infec-
ton of the music or from her near
ness to him, caught his breath. His
eyes riveted themselves on her flushed
~presence-and he recalled how in the
morning she had handled her rifle in
the same. quick, Sure way. De Spain
could not dance at all; but no one
could successfully accuse him of not
knowing how To handle any sort of a
gun. 1t was only now he forgave her,
unasked, the humiliation she had put
On him. He felt an impulse to go up
to her-now that she had stopped
dancing-and congratulate her honest
ly, instead of boorishly as he had done
at the match.
But while he thought of this the two
dancers disappeared. and a new and
rougher party crowded out on the floor
"Now, isn't that a pretty bunch y
exclaimed the talkative woman again
That's the Calabasas gang. Look al
Sandusky, that big fellow, with the

his black hair plastered over his eyes

1t had become second nature to d.

reached the tops of her small. big
IAN riding boots. She wore a soft
French-gray cowboy hat. Her eyes
n%oticeably pretty, wandered about the
platform, rejecting in their unrest the
dissatisfied expression of her face. A
.talkative woman standing just In front
Of De Spain, told a companion that the
man was Gale Morgan, Il rephew of
Satterlee, LATEST of the Morgans. De
Spain at once recognized in the dane
.ng parner the little Music Mountain
girl who had been his undoing at the
target.
The energetic piano thumped the
strains of u two-step. Gale Morgan
extended his arm toward Nan; she
looked very slight at his side. Then.

Jeffrles resumed his mildest tone /:
Tell him to come in a minute, John"
De Spain himself expressed con-
temptuous Impotence when Lefever
told him the superintendent wanted
him to go to work at Sleepy Cat. He
declared he had always hated the
town, raised one objection after anoth-
or to leaving Medicine Bend, and JEFF
fries finally summoned a show of i'm
patience.

This Is not a matter for joking, De

II know that. too. How many men

brusquely; that is to be expected
where the specie shipments are large.
The Thief River mines are rotten with
gold just now. But you don't have to

good men for that, and good guards
men willing to take any kind of a

Il have never as yet generally man
