harsh voice Of the money-,ender
speaking in loud and angry tones and
presently he went away.
"What's the rlp?" l asked as my
uncle returned looking very sober.

answered.
In the candle-llght of the evening
Uncle Peabody said:

"W'y Of all things" my aunt ex.

Peabody. 81 guess he can't forgive
US for savln' Rodney Barnes"
"What did he say?" l asked.
why, he says we hadn't no busi-
ness to hire man to help us. He
says you an me ought to do all the
work here. He thinks ought to took
you out o. school long ago."

on with my lessons" said.
"Not an please him. He was mad
when he see We with book in yer

What were we to do now? / spent
the first sad night of my life undoing

"That's right" said Mr. Dunkelberg.
"Why, Bart, she's spry as a cricket

Uncle Peabody hesitated, whereupon

To Aunt Deel wagon grease was
the worst enemy of happy and re-
spectacle home.
We hitched our team to the grass
hopper spring wagon and set out on
our journey. 1t was warm, hazy
Indian-summer day in November. AS
we passed 1.-The mill" we saw the ST.
lent Woman looking out Of the little
window of her room above the black
smith shop-a low, weather-stained,
frame building. hard by the main
road, with narrow hanging stair on
the siCe of 1t.
"She keeps watch by the winder
when she ain't travelin'," said Uncle
Peabody. "Knows all that's goin'
On-that woman-knows who goes to
the village an how long they stay.
When Grimshaw goes by they say she
hustles off down the road in her rags.
She looks like sick dog herself, but
I've heard that she keeps that room
O.. hers Just MS neat as a PIN"
Near the village we passed smart
looking buggy, drawn by spry-foot-
ed horse in shiny harness. Then
noticed with a pang that our wagon
was covered with dry mud and that
our horses were rather bony and our
harness a kind of lead color. So
was In an humble state of mind when
we entered the village.
There was a crowd Of men and
women in front of Mr., Wright's office
and through its open door saw many
Of his fellow townsmen. We waited Mt
the door for few minutes. / crowded
in while Uncle Peabody stood talk
ing to q villager. The Senator caught
sight Of me and came to my side and
put his hand on my head and said:
Hello, Bart How you've grown T!
and how handsome you look! Where's
your uncle?"
He's there by the door," / an
swered.
= "Well, les go and see him."
Mr.. Wright was stouter and grayer
and grander than when l had seen
him last. He was dressed In black
broadcloth AM wore big beaver hat
and high collar and his hair was al
most white. ! remember vividly his
clear, kindly, gray eyes and ruddy
cheeks.
"Baynes. I'm glad to see you." he
said heNrtily. did ye bring me any
terked meat"
"Didn't think of It," said Uncle
Peabody. "But I've got nice young
doe all jerked an If you're fond O.
Jerk I'll bring ye down some to-mor-
rer."
I'D like to take some to Washing

The Senator took us into his Office
and introduced us to the leading men
of the county.

his. hand on MY head, sis a coming
man in the Democratic party"
The great men laughed at my
bushes and we came away with a
deep sense of pride In us. At last I
felt equal to the ordeal of meeting
the Dunkelbergs. My unAe must have
shared my feeling, for, to my delight,

 Japan has virtually threatened war if China makes public secret treaties with Japan and fails to carry out agreements made Japan as successor to Germany in rights of property con sessions Germany held at the outbreak of the war.
 4 special from Paris says that the Supreme Council will probably request President Wilson to take hand in the threatened trouble and plainly tell Japan that war is over and any threats will cause Japan dire distress and much trouble.

GRAFT OF OFFICERS

BERLIN, Feb, H. German nav. al officers were strong for, graft. It was this fact that caused the break in the morale of the navy, Captain Per Sius, German naval expert, declare.
 "S special source of discontent lay in the circumstances that great quan- titles of provisions which were in terded for the crews were constantly removed from the ships by order of the superior officers and clandestinely convey to their own families" he writes. Tn one case an admiral, rich man without children, but employing a large staff of servants. made con- siderable deductions from his monthly pay to exchange the money for fool, which he sold at a considerable profit to Sundry persons in his native town.

 As to private cars, etc., in tho opir- ion of the Editor, these are simple and trival matters at this time, a compared with the paramount issue of the completion of the government railroad, between essential points.

Put aside the large appropriation that has been asked, although it is reaSon- able to infer that this may be granted and work on the theory that there i:' only $4,OOO,00O remaining to complete the railroad. That is the main point and then insist that this be donH.

The Seward Chamber of Commerce action in demanding that the Alaskan Engineering Commissior complete the railroad between Seward and the coai fields before attempting other work is meeting with approval from other localities. The Seattle Chamber of Commerce, in a cable to the local or ganization, has wired approval of the project and added: Certainly this must be done and we are with you in this demand"
 It only takes little action to star. things and the Seward Chamber or Commerce has hit off on the right clip this time.
 Many letters have been received by the Gateway regarding the action by the Seward Chamber of Commerce, al 60 the emphatic stand taken by ths Gateway in keeping at the project for the completion of the Seward-coa fields railroad, and several letters were received today approving the point made that if the appropriation of S13,S00O0 asked Congress by Sec. retary Lane Is granted that the Alas kan Engineering. Commission should have nothing to do further with con struction, or rather attempted con- struction, of the government railroad in Alaska.
 As one writer says: "We have had ,nly the con given to us for years br he Alaskan Engineering Commission now represented by tho ch-;-'""". " c. Edes. If the Seward Cha"''e" c.' Commerce had taken this action tw' years ago, perhaps the Seward divis ion would now be completed"
 Another well-wisher of the Sewar' Chamber of Commerce, also compli- nenting the Gateway says: "Whil' vou are at your attack on the Alaskan Engineering Commission, why no mention the fact about our privat' car, on & railroad of about 52 miles Why not mention the fact that man' times passengers to Seward have bee' damned in our one lone stuffy pass snger car, or caboose or box car and the private car, operated on thi ,xtensive (?) system has been occu pied by the Engineer in- charge done. or few specially invite' guests.
