story, "The wag Lady" it Is a drama of Alaska, yet it bears not the slightest resemblances either to 'The Brand "The Spoilers" or any other of the Rex Beach epics of the Yukon. 'The Girl From Outside' has a strength and a charm all it's own Its humanness and its youthful ideals place it beyond anything Rex Beach has written.
 The charactef of June Campbell, the heroine, is among Rex Beachs finest ere ations. With her father. the girl, still in
 her teens, starts from the states to the
 Klondike. She arrives alone, orphaned by
 death of her father on the voyage.
 At thIs point the ''wag boys" are intro
 auced, five of them, whose means of sup
 port are visible only to themselves One
 of them, the youngest, is the Curly
 Kid"-"and his hair" says the author Nls the straightest thing about him" He is the first to come in contact with June From this develops a beautiful and in- spring love story. in which the Curly Kid gives the girl the only thing he never stole-his life.
 When June accepts the Curly Kids aic and opens a hotel she has no suspicion that he came by the money unlawfully Nor does she imagine that his compan- ions are other than honest men. It is the Kid who tells her the truth because he loves her hopelessly. His sacrifice | for the man of Junes choice brings Ih'

STORY ABOUT WORLD. COMING ID AN END
 TODAY ALL MISTAKE
AstrolOgist Points Out Utter Fallacy of Professor POr-
 ter's Raticination

Washington, December 1e.-(Special.) It's all mistake about the world com ing to an end December II. according to Frank Theodore Allen, director of the Astrological Research society of this city He does predict some strenuous times in the eastern part of the United States soon after the full moon of January B. Here is formal statement he has is sued on the subject:
 If the enemies of geocentric astrology had deliberately plotted to exprobrate it and to reinforce the prejudice that so
 many hold against that art and science they could scarcely haze devised a more diabohcal scheme that has been effected by the widespread publication of the iurld, extravagant and unwarranted fore casts made by Professor Porter some months ago.
 Professor Porter's sensational predic- tions are based upon heliocentric posi- , tions of the planets that are in utter va rance with the system used by all as- troiogers who have won distinction by ] making successful forecasts His lack of logic is~ evidenced by two quite inconsis- tent statements in his original article. In one paragraph he asserted that Such
 
 | of centuries" while in another he said, Such close grouping of the planets | has never before been recorded" What I a sad comentary should be given to the predictions of one who in making them displayed such a lamentable lack of ra- ] tiocination?
 As matter of actual fact, the geo. centric position sof most of the planet ary bodies on December r will be con- cordant and conserving, though there are certain extremely discordant confgura2 tions involving the superior planets ever since the fall of 1918 that are destined | to become very much more acute in the early half of 1920. These will undoubted- ' ly accentuate the worldwide unrest which has been growing apace ever since | the singing of the armistice. And the \ eastern half of the United States will suffer some exertmely cold, stormy and | blustery weather in the few weeks next l following the winter solstice on December | 22, and more especially after the full
 moon of January ,.
 such abnormal weather conditions as may transpire in the near future will be due to and accounted for by positions and aspects in the mundane contigurations as | calculated by the ageS-old and ever re- | liable geocentrio system of astrology, and rot because of heiiocentric positions, l which, if effective, would relegate the
 sun to the servile position of reflector l and transmitter of the planetary rays. "The figure of the heavens at the | full moon on January ,, as calculated for Washington, prefigures-for the east ern part of the colntry-disasters to the atres, amusements, schools and possibly tgovernment buildings; also the very l strong probability of wildly excitable conditions affecting Speculative invest ments, if not actual assaults. involving
