The Strange Question Lillian
Asked About lin.

/ felt weight roll from my spirits
at Lillian's words, mystihed even
though was by the tangle of cir.
cumstances surrounding Mil y
Stockbridge's death, in which l fel,
myself involved. But Lillian's
briskness and enthusiasm in tackline
the affair electrified me. Her man.
ner made me think involuntarily Of
Dicky's comment upon her long ago
Give old Lii some mystery to
solve," he said, "and she puts her
nose in the air like a bird dog, and
the devil help the person she goes
after"
That Lillian had evolved some
definite theory from my account 81
Mr.. Walters and from reading the
letter Kenneth Stockbridge had
written me / was certain. And, Gu
riously enough-considering the al
most conviction | had Of Kennel,
Stockbridge's ghilt-something in
her manner made me wonder if ]
had not been mistaken, if he might
not be innocent after all.
Needless to say, uttered no word
OF this mental comment aloud. Lii
liam, usually the most easy-going OF
women, can turn a most disquieting
frown upon anyone who has the te-
meeity to interrupt her train OF
thought when she is busy upon some
important problem. l have, as have
most of her friends, wholesome
awe of her displeasure, because OF
the very rarity of the occasions
when she displays it.
Lillian Decides.
She did not speak for several min
utes following her exclamation con-
corning "the tran through that crazy
woman's teapot" When she did, to
my surprise, there was no reference
to the tea in her words, but to the
other subject of our conversation.
There is no other way out of it.
We've simply got to get that desk
in this house and keep it here. And
we mustn't lose single minute do
ing it. We must get it tomorrow
morning, if possible"
| gazed at her in establishment.
The desk was the property of Ken
meth Stockbrldge, but it still stood
in the school office. To my mind
the moving Of it from there to our
house would only invite the mali
cious gossip which the imprisoned
principal had striven SO hard to
avert from Alice Holcombe and me
Lillian glanced at me, frowned
perceptibly then broke into one 81
her irresistible laughs.
Don't look SO Mortified, child =

He granted sub. sequent charter in lS4l. and in 1867. when we took over the territory, the laws under those charters were in force there.

Courts Have Upheld Rights

You will notice that this provision not only protects them in their prop erty rights and their religion, but it makes citizens of the United States out of all those who shall remain in Alaska after three years. The pro vision used here to naturalize are the words which naturalized the in habitants of the Floridas in the treaty by which we acquired the Florida ces, sion from Spain in 1918, and they are almost the identical words. the sub stantial words, of the treaty by which we obtained the Louisiana Purchase at an earlier date. Those words have been before the courts on many oCCa- sions. and the United States supreme court and the lesser courts have held that those words naturalize the in habitants of the Ceded territory So that when these Russian half-breeds remained in Alaska territory for three years after 1867 they became by vir- 
 ipso facto, citizens of the United States, with a right to cast their bal lot without any naturalization law be- ing passed by the congress. Con gress approved that treaty, and some of these questions were raised at the time the treaty was approved in con gress by Senator Cullom. from llli' nois, who was then representative from that state. The treaty was ap- proved with the distinct understand ing that it had that effect, II has so been held by he courts from that day to this. and every one of these na' uves that my friend called Indians and the evidence is perfectly clear that they are half.breed Russians. all down the line. all belonging to the Russian Greek church-are American

CHURCH OVER THE TOP
(From Saturdays DaHv.l

Among the leading Methodist churches of the state, Marina Street Methodist church is among the honor class to have gone over the top in the first day of the great Centenary drive for one hundred and five mil ion dollars. The Prescott church itas already met its quota and twenty per cent more, with the drive Sunday yet to be realized. Whatever else the Mile High City is worthy of praise for it is that Prescott nas al ways met her obligations to worthy causes, and the success of the Cen tcnary collection in Prescott IS merely another evidence of the fact. We also extend our congratulations to Bisbee, Douglas and to the Mesa Methodist Episcopal churches, and trust that Arizona's quota of Sl5O,0O0 will be met by the combined effort of all the Methodist churches of the state.

BASEBALL FANS ENJOY
 SEEING RUNS MADE

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 2. Patrons of the national game who enjoy plenty of hitting and like to see runs scored are being accommo- dated by the teams of the Pacific Coast league. It has been said that the more perfectly baseball is played the less action there is and that no lit no run games are cited. The comparative demonstrations of the coast crowds indicated that they got more enjoyment out of the contests that bring out the hits and runs pro vided that both teams score and the tally is not one-sided.
 There have been many games played thus far this season in which from half dozen to a dozen runs have been scored by the two teams and in many instances first one team and then the other would take the lead, only to lose it again in sub sequent inning With only a run or two separating the two teams the is sue has been in doubt practically to the last inning.
 Contests of this character spell ruin for the pitchers who are anx- ious to make good records in the runs responsible for" as well as the victories column This is evidenced by a number of pitchers who have good percentages of games won but who are responsible for many a run. The figures, not including games, of the last series for some of these were:
 Seaton 19 runs, Bromley 2 runs, Pertica 2 runs, Mails IS runs, Jones. Krause, Smith, Trough and Crespi are among those whose runs respon- sible for did not run into the double figures at the time the figures were compiled. Brown and Gardner, the leading pitchers, only had II and 10 runs respectively chalked up against hem.
 On the other hand. the batters' av- -raGcs are maintaining plump pro portions, there being many more men T the 800 percentage class than there uere year ago at this time.
