ROSE EXPRESSES HER OPINION
OF EVERETT.
CHAPTER XLIX.


HEN I saw Everett l was so as
tonished l lost what little wit l
ever possessed, and instead Of an
swering I just stared at him.
We'll, why don't you speak?
Where have you been until this
time?" again looking at the watch
he held in his hand.
"To the theater." I, faltered.
who said you could go to the
theater? I thought ( expressly told
you in my letter to g, to bed early. "
Everett, don't you see Rose, Rose
Grandon-you met her out home you
know?"
Yes, I remember Miss Grandon,
he inclined his head slightly, as with
a faint good night Rose slipped past
US up to her room.
In q way | was glad she had gone
that she would no longer be a wit
ness to my humiliation In another
way I wished she had remained.
Everett might have been less IN
reasonable.
Neither of US had replied to Roses
good night, but as soon as she had
gone Everett said:
Come into the libraryp'
followed meekly, but I didn't feel
one bit meek inside. He had been
away for days, hadn't told me what
he was doing or anything. Had not
even kissed me. Father always kiss
ed mother several times if he had
been away over one night.
I stood opposite him after he
switched. on the lights.
"Why didn't you obey me? be ask
ed sternly.
"Because-because-why Everett,
l haven't done anything wrong. I
only"
I. when l tell you to remain at
home to retire early, l expect to be
obeyed.
But am not a child" I don't
know where l got the courage to
speak up as l did 81 was lonely. I
asked Rose to come and stay with
me while you were gone. I couldn't
read or do anything, I was so lone
some. And after she came we had
to do something. l am sure that you
wouldn't have talked to Leola the
way you do to me. / am ashamed
"a have Rose go home and tell how
I am treated" I stopped, frightened
almost to death. had not meant
to mention his first wife-to this

Everett had tur-ed a pasty gray
color when l mentioned Leola, and
the kunckles Of his hands which grip
ped the table were white and strain

frightened at his looks
Not now-but go."

Rose was watching for me, and fol-
lowed me into my room.
you poor dear! I was awfully
envious of you-all your wonderfully

a grea deal Of emphasis on the

"e vas cross because I didn't do

in the way of an apology.
"But you're a married woman!
You're not child living at home
with you father and mother. They

I wouldn't put up with it for min

Just then.I heard a movement
down stairs.
Pun back to your room Rose. He's
comingw and like frightened rab-

what did you friend have to say
to you that couldn't keep till morn

For the shave and haircut of satisfaction go to Ed Grigwire's shop, opposite drug store.

Miss Lillian D. Hill of Fair bank recently broke into print in Seattle by describing her adven- turous trip over the Fairbanks Valdez trail. It reads like a nightmare and is a good descrip- ton of what might have happen ed if the story had been true.
 Midnight, 32 below zero, a 12O pound girl and a 180 pound in- sane woman, alone on a glacier, both in their nighties, with only their winter coats thrown over them, the nearest cabin within sixteen miles and God visiting in Europe. This is the phantas- magoria experienced by this young lady, and she might have made it worse by importing an other crazy and a couple of more glaciers.

To Make Appeal for Funds

An appeal to American people for funds to carry on the work of their American Red Cross will be made next November, according to the following statement issued to. day by Livingston Farrand, Chair man of the Central Committee, who says:
 Appalling conditions in coun- tries of Eastern Europe imposing on the American Red Cross obliga- tions additional to those assumed during the period of world war and continuation of activities in con- nection with the already outlined domestic program of the American Red Cross" makes necessary an appeal to the people of America for further funds to carry on work for the relief of humanity"
 It has been decided to make this appeal in the autumn in period of two weeks eliminating the nth of November, the anniversary of the signing of the armistice, a sea son when American people may properly give manifestation through contributions to their American Red Cross, of their thankfulness for deliverance from the added hor- TOTS of war which have fallen upon nations less fortunate.

CANADA ISAGAINST TITLES

The Daily Ontario: With the signing of peace we are likely to have another grand title-shower. That supreme occasion will fur nish too excellent an excuse to be over looked by the title-giyer and title-seeker. Garters and ribbons galore will be scattered broad cast. What an ideal opportunity for the Canadian people to show its sympathy with new world. democracy by declaring definitely against the bestowal of any more titles on Canadians. Canadians are fed up on this title business. The broad masses of the people of this country are distinctly hos, tile to any further ''honors" that tend to build up anew a class dis tinction that has been consider ably leveled by the war. More and more Canada is becoming a country where a man stands on his own feet. Personal achieve ment now counts for more than the degree of blue" blood in the veins of ones grandmother. Ones pedigree doesn't matter so much now as does making good"
 It was also a plank in the plat form of the Agricultural Council of Canada. Fer many years it has been demanded by labor. In some cases a title is honestly earned by service to the nation, but the great majority are SC cured by political or social pull. And as those who really deserve a title are invariably too big to care about it or need it, why not end the whole thing once for all by cutting out the cheap imita- tions of barons, knights, " and the like. The Canadian peo pie know well how to honor their great men without sending to London for a title. As for the others, they exasperate with their paradings and ostentation, help ing to foster the unrest of which we have at the present time more than is consistent with safety. To abolish titles in Canada has be. come i necessary move, and, bar rlug ceriaia snobbish circles at Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal, which would be jared to their centers. it would be a popular move.

FIRST GAME TO CINCINNATI
Chicago White sox Defeated in De-
cisiVe Manner in Opening Battle
in World Series.

Cincinnati, O.-Cincinnati won the
opening game Of the worlds series
from the Chicago Americans. 9 to 1.
Every series develops a new idol,
and Walter Ruether, who pitched the
Reds to victory, was the unanimous
choice. He not only held the White
Sox to six scattered hits and really
deserved shut-out, but rolled up a
batting average of 1000 for himself
If there was anything in the game
that was better than his hurting, it
was his work with the stick. Two of
his three hits were mighty triples He
drove in three runs, scored one him
self and was the instigator of the mad
romping Of Red legs around the bases
in the fateful fourth The Sox were in
the fight up to that time, but when he
propelled the ball into No Mans Land
in left center and romped around to
third while two scored ahead of him,
the heart seemed to go out of the
