WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 12-- The Alaska political situation prom ises an interesting scrimmage for the territorial offices which are to be distributed under the Harding ad- ministration.
 Judge Wickersham, who is a very active candidate for the governor ship of the territory, has arrived from the West with voluminous pe- titions urging his appointment, and George C. Hazelet, of Cordova, ap- pears to be the choice of the terri torial committee. The two candi- dates are looked upon here as worthy opponents, each with such showing of support that the Presi- dent probably will look beyond both candidates in making his selection for governor. It is said that both Col. Wilds P. Richardson, former chairman of the Alaska Road com. mission, and Dick Ryan, of New York would consider the appoint. ment favorably if it should be of fered to either of them.

The Girl Who Had No Chance

''Myra doesn't like to go about
much"
Blame it on some woman-now
you're blaming Myra!" Ruth went on.
1T isn't Myra, it's you. You're not
seeing the chances around you. They
do exist here in greater quantity than
in my small town, but you simply are
not going out after them. Don't
blame anyone but yourself"
She paused, all the time looking at
him.
Langley is very much in love with
me, I think. But I don't know quite
whether l am very much in love with
him or not. I don't know because
still seem to have-some of the old
feeling"
Tim was on his feet again. He
came over to her, and put his hands on
her shoulders.
DO you mean you still love me?"
The girl stood looking straight at
her glance never wavered. And she
did not try to get away, but stood
there quietly while his hands gripped
her shoulders.
Il don't know. I don't think so,'
she said, quite calmly.
Tim let her go Immediately and
stood off, staring at her in surprise
But you must know. What do you
mean"
Tim" she said impulsively, "are
you in love with me? You're not"
Il ami" he cried, and came over to
her again. But this time she drew
away so he did not come to her
Perhaps you are. 1t doesn't mat
ter, because I'll go back home to my
work in week, and you'll settle down
with Myra, quite happily, and forget
me, just as you have all these years
Myra has a way-you say so yourself
of making you cease to care for any
thlng-for me, or for a career, for
books"
Tim stared at her a moment. Then
he came forward a step.

truth.

to his feet.

til Tim sank again into the chair.
Somehow standing up there by the
table, she felt all the advantage was
hers.
