HOUSE FAVORABLE TO LAND
 GRANT

The soldiers land bonus bill has passed the House and has a fair chance of passing the Senate. Every body comedies the force of the argu- ment that some provision should be made for the returned soldier. The objection in the House was because of the fear that large areas of pub lie land might very soon get into the hands of speculators. And real izing that there's certain element in Congress who have extreme ideas on conservation. the bill in it's pres ent form might not meet kindly fate. Much further delay would de- ny a benefit that is much needed now. If the soldier boys are to have any material recognition the time is now ripe and a bill should be pass ed that it is considered will meet with the least opposition in Congrss. Representative Getchell, who has had charge of the bill expresses every confidence that if passed in it's pres ent form it will be endorsed by Con- gress. He may be right.-Anchor- age Times.

 Reggie stared at her, amazement spreading over his cOuntenaBce; he felt q swelling in his chest, an over, whelmlng awe and respect for her.

 q know you didn't" responded Ton nibel, amid the terrible silence that | had fallen on her friends, but we couldn't get along without money. so I took the-the-COusin Paul's-"
 During the broken statement Philip MacCauley had dropped into chair and covered his face with his hands. Doctor John was gaping at her as if she had struck him, but Doctor Paul i well, he simply reached out and grasped her hands.
 You're lying again, Tony" he inter- rupted her grlmly. "I don't know why, but I'm positive all you've said Is fearful lie. Reginald, have you ever asked Tony to marry yOu?"
 The boy smiled broadly. Everything was working out splendidy for him. l "Yes, and her father promised her to me-" he boasted "but I didn't know until tonight she really loved me"
 Tony shot him loo!; of hate, but she lowered her eyes instantly. She dared not risk Paul PcndIchaven see ing her revulsion.
 But 1t was to Reginald's credit that he believed she spoke the truth. His vanity wouldn't allow him to think otherwise.
 "pd like to talk to her alone" he said crisply, directly at Cousin Paul. "Women are peculiar creatures. Why, I've loved her over two years, and to think she made Philip believe she was going to marry him"
 "So she is," snapped Philip, raising his head.
 "When I've done my damnedeSt to get her to kiss me evcn," continued Reginald, overlooking MacCauey's 1 ejaculation. You remember your, self, Phil. what happened that day on the boat"
 Don't repeat it," cried Tony, "Oh, all of you go away. Let me alcne. want to be by myself"
 "You want to be with me" contra dicted Reginald, and he whrlcd in ju- bilant ecstasy on enc heel, then clicked his feet together: You love me, Tony . You do, don't you:'
 The dark head made an almost i'm perceptible nod, but Philip in his jeaI' ousy saw 1t.
 He got up as if he were an old man. The youth had gone ont of him.
 If she doesn't love me and never has," he muttered dazedly, then Id better go."
 He waited for .her io speak to deny her words, but the fearful expression in the gray eyes turned upon him con fused him still more,
 "Yes, go" Tony told him, rousine herself, "aud--aud-ucycr think of inc again."
 There was silence in the room as he went away, but no sooner had the door closed than Tony flung up her arms and sank unconscious in a forlorn, lit- i tie heap against Paul Pcndlchay"n.

The moment his gun parked, Reg inald, now sober, saw Urlah Devon throw up his arms and crumple in a heap on the floor He saw, too, the girl stagger forward and sink down. He had committed murder, perhaps, and, for an awful moment, he imagined he was going mad. A scream rose to his lips as a pain shot through his head. but he bit savagelyNon his tongue and held 1t back. If he was discov- cred he would be arrested. and if

Devon dled- He dared picture the future no further. ShudderIng, he slunk back, crouChed at the head of the dIvan and remained absolutely quiet.
 Tony struggled to her feet. stared In wild amazemeut at her father. then at her mother. who was standing rig idly speechless, the revolver hanging from her fingers.
 Mummy" cried the girl. "Oh, God You've killed him, Edie darling"
 Still the woman didn't say word. She only gazed at the speaker un' SeeIugly. Tony Snatched the gun from her hand.
 "Edie," she groaned. Mummy, sweet, go right away, before any one comes. You've killed Uriah. Go away, go away, say"
 She grasped Mrs. Deyon's arm and hurried her toward the porch door. Run" hISsed the girl. Get back to the boat quick. Don't ever say a word to any one" Then Tony spied the little black bag she'd seen so Of ten on the Dirty Mary. Picking 1t up she thrust 1t into her mothers hands. Here! Take this, too. oh' mummy; kiss me. kiss me"
 She flung herself upon the woman frautlcally, kissed the pallId, impas- slye face again and again and then showed Edith out upon the dark porch. It was while Tony's whole attention was centered on her beloved that Reg inald Brown seized the opportunity to sneak stealthily from the room.
 The nervous women in the upper part of the house had not expected to hear the piercing scream that came to their ears, and, as it was repeated more than once with such terrible in- slstence, Mrs. Curtis, followed by Katherine. fled down the stairs.
 Tony heard them coming, and a surging love for her mother brought resolution full-born from the loyal young heart. She was standing over the prostrate Uriah when Sarah Cur tis and her daughter rushed madly in. "I shot my father" gaSped Tonnibel, looking at Mrs. Curtis, her fingers locked tightly over the handle of the revolver
 "Where's your mother?" came from Mrs. Curtis lips.
 Tonnibel didn't answer for min ute. then she shook her head.
 "She hasn't been here!" she Swal- lowed hard and continued: "'Twhs my father, and-and shot him."
 Katherine took long breath of eX- citement.
 Don't you know you'll be arrested, you wicked gIrl?" she calculated.
 And executedw interposed Mrs. Curtis. Katherine, call the police"
 AS Katherine made for the tele- phone, a motor car driving up to the house stayed her action. Her hand dropped from the receiver when Phil ip MacCauley came in. For moment he didn't see Devon. With q quick, flashing glance, he noticed how pallid and deathlike his Tony was.
 "What have you two been saying to herr" he demanded in deadening tones. q suspected something like this. and-and got away as soon as could. Darling girl, don't look Gt me like that"
 Mrs. Curtis was fully herself now. "The wicked girl has shot her own father" she told Captain MacCauley, making an effort to keep the satls- faction out of her voice. There he is, dead on the floor"
 Then Philin saw Devon. In horri-

FAST ASLEEP.

In the churchyard in our village,
There is a new made grave today.
Little Eleanor has left US,
God has taken her away.
She left US in the night time,
And our hearts are left to weep,
She softly whispered Mother,
,,Iother, let m, go to sleep"
With her doll they softly laid her,
= casket made of white,
Covered DER with lovely flowers,
Flowers rare and roses bright.
Then we followed to the churchyard
With the sad and sorrowing throng
And the strangers ask who is it?
'Tis the funeral of Eleanor Long.
Little playmates you will miss her,
II the school room, in your play,
For her school days now are over,
And her playthings laid away.
Her sweet face you will remember,
And when the springt:me flowers wav
Won. you gather pretty roses,
And place them gently on her grave
Angels guard her, watch her slum
bers,
While our hearts are left to weep,
Fold your sunny pinions softly
Ger our darling fast asleep.
