FOR BEAR CAUSED
 BY A REPORT

Caused by the report that Geoge w. Folta, stenographer in the Gov ernor's office, and champion bear killer, had seen four big bears at Lemon creek Friday night, a regu- lar stampede or advance charge on friend bear started from Juneau Saturday. Though some, the major ity, no doubt, quit before they reached the hills, none of those who stuck it out brought back their game.
 Even MT. Folta and G. Fenton Cramer, secretary to the Governor, who left for the wilds Saturday morning to get the bears that MT. Folta had seen the night before, came in this morning minus game.
 Spending less strenuous holi- day several parties made the trip to the upper dam at Salmon Creek Sunday.

Corporal Fred Turner came into camp three days ago, and we had long tolk regard ing our experiences in Germany, and I was able to clear up several points which had been botherin me. l am feeling fairly fit, but don't think l shall ever be able to do any more hard slugging, as my heart is bit rocky, owing to a bullet wound.

 Into His Confidence.

Former Delegate to Congress James Wickersham, defeated last fall for reelection, left Juneau on the City of Seattle this morning for Seattle. It is said that he will leave for Washington, D. C., to endeavor to institute a contest of last falls election.
 Judge Wickersham has spent nearly two months in Alaska. Ill that time his letter attacking Secre- tary Lane and the Alaska Railroad was printed, certificate of election was issued to his oppent in the late election, Delegate Charles A. Sulzer passed away, Gov. Thomas Riggs Jr, called a special election to fill the vacancy, the Democrats of the Ter ritory held a convention and nomin ated George B. Grigsby to succeed to the vacancy caused by the death of MT. Sulzer. the latter issued a challenge to Judge Wickersham to meet him in a contest before the people of Alaska on the issues be- fore the people of Alaska and per init them to decide the question as to whom they desired to represent them in Congress.

of this eventful two months, not withstanding that his attack on Sec retary Lane and his decision to con test the last election rather than to submit to a decision of the Alaska electorate much enlarged on account of returning soldiers, subjected him to a great deal of criticism and caused much discussion, Judge Wick ersham left Alaska as silently as he has spent his time since coming here He made no speeches. He refused to take the people into his confi- dence. He consulted them not at all upon matters pending in Washington before Congress or the Departments. He simply devoted his time to as sembIing data as to technicalities upon which he expects to get a ma jority in Congress to give him a seat for partisan purposes as the repre- sentative of the people of Alaska whom he has not deigned to trust with deciding the question as to whether they want him or not or with any of his condolences.

CHAPTER u.
Abductlon.

ADNuCLlOns
The hacienda where Antonio de la
Guerra had lived for the fifty-odd
years of his exile from his beloved
Spain, where his granddaughter had
been born and reared, was one of the
landmarks which linger on in stately
white walls under dark red tiles from
the time of the Spanish occupation.
The old Spaniard was overload of
what had once been a grant from his
grandfather's king, the boundaries
carelessly marked In leagues instead
of miles.
He bred cattle and fine horses, in
trusted Gaucho Morales, his foreman,
with the business details, and yet man
aged, so large and fertile was his en-
pire, to go on from year to year swell
ing his wealth.
The wlde-verRndaed house with none
of Its walls less than three feet thick,
with great, spacious rooms, spread
out across wide extent of the shaded
land among the olive and pear and
pepper trees. In the time of the fa-
Their of Antonio de la Guerra there
had been fourteen rooms-now there
We're twenty. No less could suffice
for the master Of the estate and his
cherished granddaughter.
There was the patio with it's flower
ing garden and leaplng fountain.
About 1t were the rooms, all on the
ground floor with the exception of the
three rooms added by the old man for
the use of la senorita.
Here at the southeastern exposure
of the rambling dwelling, wide and
winding staircase had been constructed
10 lead upward to spacious landing.
Then came broad doors, deep win
dow, and beyond the senorita's private
sitting room. Her bedroom was high
ceiled, with much ornate embellish-
ment after the Moorish fashion, and
lavish display of gilt under the
domed roof.
Upon the landing a couch where
each night Pedro lay across his mis-
tress doorway.
And then the balcony.
Teresa must pick up her skirts dain-
tlly to step out through the deep win
dows to 1t from her bedroom, and
once there she was all but lost behind
the bank of Towering roses, swallowed
by a dim dusk through which the moon
had difficulty in altering, Tapped in
the perfume of the flowers which chung
about the balcony In the warm June
night.
And from here, while her scholarly
grandfather annotated his remarks
concerning the hated Americana, Te-
resa leaned out, her beauty as soft and
delicate a thing as that of the rose
brushing her cheek, and talked with
one particular Americana.

retreated to the door which gave pas
sngeway through the three-foot adobe
walls from the drawing room to the
patio.
De la Guerra looked at him with a
curious smile.
"You are incomprehensible, you
Americanos," he said softly. 'You will
insist on riding o dozen miles through
the dark when there Is warm bed
and bright candle light inviting you
to stay. Your business must be ur-
gent Mr.. Dempton, to take you out
tonlght-alone. Your ride Is not with

He put his hand again to the bell

II have already given orders to

Again he spread out his hands and
lifted his shoulders.
"In the daylight Il is one thing
after dark It is another. l should be
glad TO send some Of my vaqueros with
you, senor."
Still Dempton protested. There was
moon, his way ran across a wide
open level land, and the rebels were
not looking for complications with
Uncle Sam.

to insist, smiled grayely, rose and went
into the patio with the lawyer, direct

A SUMMER COLD

A cold In the summer time, as every
body knows, is the hardest kind of a
cold to get rid of. The best and quick
est way is to go to bed and stay there
If you can, with a bottle of "Boschee's
Syrup" handy to insure good nights
rest, free from coughing, with easy ex-
pectoration in the morning.
But If you can't stay in bed you must
keep out of draughts, avoid sudden
changes, eat sparlngly of simple food
end take occasional doses of Boschee's
Syrup, which you can buy at any store
where medicine is sold, safe and eff
cient remedy, made in America for more
than fifty years. Keep it handy.-Adv.
