was seated very near her. That was

must have dreamed that Old Marc

Robert Percival was no longer able to

that Polly saw him over Daddy's

Then Robert, stung with remorse at
his disbelief in her, picked her out of

encourage Evelyn, and she went on (:

She was going to tell 1t all, ragged
through Polly's mind. Was she going
to bring to light her relations with
the dead Oscar? Old Marc would
never forgive it Thinking more now
of the baby coming next summer to
the almost incoherent woman than of
her own happiness, Pollyop made a
movement as If to contradict the state

She struggled up and moving to the
wall, leaned against 1.-THE Greatest
Mother in the World" as If she, too,
would add herself to the vast family

Every one of her words was directed
to Mackenzie.
'Then I'm to understand" he asked

She cleared her throat, and leaned
only the harder against the wall.

Marcus placed his wife in the chair

girls words trailed away into silence.
Over MacKenzie's face were speeding
so many different expressions that the
searching brown eyes of Polly Hop
kins could not tell whether he in
tended to forgive his unhappy wife or
not.
But Percival did not wait to find
out. He sprang to the door, jerked it
open and closed it behind with a bang.
In fact, he did not even see Evelyn
slip quietly into a faint, or Marcus
snatch her into his arms as If he never
intended to let her go.

passionate love words that came from

QUEEN OF
 INTERIOR IS DEAD

Molly Dexter, known to all old time Alaskans of the Nome district, died at the Hot Springs, near the Norton Sound Reservation.
 Molly was the native wife of John Dexter, we'll known mining charac- ter of early days, the man after whom Dexter creek was named. Since the death of her husband, Molly has been living at Chioik, where she conducted a store and been known as the reindeer queen, owning a great number of the ani- mals. From the standpoint of material possessions Molly was rich and her wealth is left to her adopted chil- dren and other relatives. Children of her own she had none living, she lavished her mother love on poor unfortunate native children whose ap- peals never were unanswered.
 For many months Molly had been ailing from the white mans curse, consumption, and while visiting at Hot Springs in hope of relief she had severe hemorrhage, which resulted in her death.
 Molly Dexter was about 55 years of age, no one knew her age accur- ately, for native-like, her own knowl- edge of age was vague. She was buried at Chinik by the side of her husband and daughter.-Nome Mug get.

 the threat of a renewal of civil war, three powerful political cross-cur- rents are moving in China today. All have a common m-domination of sthe country. Roughly, the three groups might be described as fol- lows:
 1. English and American financial interests and a minority of the Chris tianized Chinese, who support Gen. eral Wu Pei-fu.
 2. The agency of Japanese influ ence working through General Chang Tso-lin.
 8. The Republican representing Dr. Sun Yat Sens followers-the Chi nese students, young intellectuals and the mass of non- -Christianized Chinese.
 The possibility of a truce between General Wu and Dr. Sun is not an improbability if Wu can give suffi- cient assurance to the Southern Con- stitutionalists that he is willing to accept reunificaticn plan providing for the reconvening of the old par 1iament of 1917 and the reelection of a legal president immediately after the retirement of the present incumbent, Hsu Shih-chang.
 WU CONCILiATES PUBLIC
 Private advices indicate that Gen. eral Wu is more and more inclined to conciliate public opinion as the best means of retaining his prestige. The resistance of the Chinese people in political affairs is passive rather than active, but it's effectiveness is seen in the downfall of powerful mil itary dictators of the past dozen years-Yuan Shih-kai, Chank Hsun Yuan Chi-jui, Chang Ching-yao, Wang Chan-yuan and others.
 It is perfectly apparent to every one that the days are numbered of the manufacturing governor ship-system. Thus preservation dictates obedience to the public will gunpowder.
 In the event of presidential elec- tion the question may be asked: Will Sun Vat Sen, head of the Re public of South China, be a candi- date? It is believed that Sun has no presidential aspirations, but in any event, his friends say, he would do nothing that would conflict with Re- publicanism or conflict with the old Constitution.
 SOME AGAINST UNITY
 There are a number of forces at work against peace and unity-the two chief aims of the Southern Con- stitutionalists. The British and the Japanese have always aimed at put ting a "strong man. of their choice at the head of the Central govern ment. That was how Yuan Shih-ka1 and Yuan Chi-jui succeeded in domi- naClnS the pOlltlCdl oiluetIloh ebo ehSS did until busted by the popular will. or the moment General Wu seems to have been picked by British and American financial interests. AL though Japan is fellow member Of the international financial group that invested large sums in China. Japan's favorite candidate for head of the Picking government is Chang Tso-lin. CONSTITUTIONAL FEARFUL
 The sympathizers of the Constitu- tionalist cause are fearful of both Wu and Chang, fearing that the for mer will serve British and Ameri- can financial Imperialism" and the latter will serve Japanese interests.
 There are two foreigners who stand out prominently in the con- fused Chinese political situation - Jacob Gould Schurman, American Ambassador to China, and Sir Fran
