An attack from within Russia upon
the fundamental idea of Bolshevism,
against which there already is heard
open complaints of failure, is the
surest cure for the Russian political
situation. Thomas II. Dickinson said

and its conduct of affairs, and outside

months visit to Russia, was the guest

his to love or abuse at his own sweet
WILL for Oscar had little doubt that
the squatter girl would eventually
yield to his WILL
Pollyop, meanwhile, quite uneon-
scious of Oscars vicious intentions,
was already utterly overwhelmed with
misery.
After the meager supper was over
that night, she sat crouched near the
wood-bOx, her arm around Billy Hop
kins' stringy neck. Granny Hope was
in bed and Wee Jerry, having cried
himself to sleep, was in Jeremiah's
room, rolled up in a blanket.
For the first time In her life Polly
had seen her father weep. How i'm
petuously she he kissed away his
tears How she hau hung to his neck
When they had been forced to leave
him. Jerry had shrieked his misery all
the way through the streets of Ithaca.
To make the matter worse, it began
to rain, to thunder and tighten. And
now, forlorn, lonely little creature,
she sat listening to the tempest out
side with no company but the billy
goat.
How listless and hopeless she felt
Only when the thunder rolled over the
lake, and the lightning flashed across
the sky, did she lift her head. When
she was happy, Polly loved the
storms, but now, with Daddy in Au-
burn, how could she bear the thrash
ing rain and the moan of the willow
trees as they swung to and fro over
the shanty roof?
She found herself wishing fearfully
that the storm would sweep off to the
south and down behind the hills. Over
and over in her mind went the thought
that perhaps she could have helped

You hear, don't you,

Hope too. You hear don't you,
Pollyop?'
At that Polly chung to him. She had
lost sight of the fact that she might
have to marry Oscar Bennett to free
Daddy Hopkins, and to keep her peo-
pie in the Silent City. She only real
lied that she was in Roberts arms,
and that he was telling her over and
over and over that he adored her.
Hadn't you best go now?" she
asked. "Some one might catch you
here No! Please, please don't kiss
me no more.'
Without the slightest regard for her
protestations. Robert, smiling, gath
cred her completely into his arms.
Perhaps" he stammered, perhaps,
sweetheart, your father'll come back
in spite of Marcus Mackenzie. Good
by, dear"
She followed him to the door and
watched him go up the lane. Then she
crept back into the shanty.

best to save you, dear, an, an l will,

SAINT wall.
At the sound of her anguish, Jerry
awoke and set up a loud screaming
! and, ever true to her mother instinct
| for him and all others in her wild
world, Pollyop took him up and seat
ed herself, hushing and caressing him.
1.-THE littlest mother in the world"
| breathed Robert tenderly, bending
over her "And brave girl you are,
too, Polly Hopkins"
81 can't be brave ever any more, l
can't. I need my daddy so, do. I'm
thinkin' my heart just busted when
they took him away"
He understood, and Roberts very
soul melted in sympathy Indeed, never
had he worked so hard on any one
thing as he had done to defend the
squatter. 1t had been only after Mac
Kenzie had outwitted him that he had
come to the Silent City to break the
bad news to Polly Hopkins.
"Pollyop" he began, much moved

does. But while he's gone, if he really

yourself" he FASTENED on. mo one
needs it more than you do. No. now
don't shake your head, dear. Some
one must help you-don't you see?"
"'Twas awful good of you to give
me the money, an let me help the
squatter women" came distinctly from
the sobbing lips. "but Jerry an me
couldn't take cent of yoursi"
Somehow Robert had expected this,
but her refusal did not make him any
the less determined to help her. For
a time he was silent, as Polly slowly
rocked Jerry back and forth.
After a few moments the boy fell
asleep, and his sister laid him quietly
on the bed again.
Nov what be l goin to do?" she
queried forlornly, looking straight at
him. Granny Hope says loves all
powerful, an every night cry out to
the good God to bring my daddy home
It's true amt it, Jesus can help a
squatter girl?"
"Of course Robert assured her.
"Of course, and, oh, Polly, want you
to be different"
what do you mean by bein' differ
ent?" she stopped him quickly, and
then she caught the look he cast
around the room.
"I'rl always be a squatter," she went
on fiercely. 81 love squatters, I do"
His face burned at the emphasis on
her words, yet he liked her better for
standing by her humble friends.
And you love me too, don't you,
Pollyop?' he asked, reaching out and
taking one of her hands.
Didn't she love him? All, more than
she even dared to admit to herself! A
blush mounted to her curls.
yep, I'm lovin' you, too" she
breathed. 'You an daddy"
Robert stood up dizzily, bringing her
up with him. What was there in this

In the White Light of 1t Polly Saw a
Man Lying Face Down In the Path

Daddy if she had done what Evelyn
wanted her to. Why hadn't she con-
sented to marry Oscar two weeks ago?
She knew why, and, blushing, blamed
herself She could not keep the image
of Robert Percival from smiling at
her.
All of a sudden a frightful flash of
lightning made dim the flicker from
the small candle. and was followed In
stantly by thunderous roar that
shook the very earth. Mingled with it
came woman's scream. Polly strug-
gled to her feet. Some one was In
trouble! Some squatter-woman was
calling her. She dashed toward the
door just as it flung wide open, and
Evelyn Robertson rushed in.

the squatter girls arm, "Pollyop,
something struck Oscar, and he's dead
in the road"
Frantically she drew the dazed Pol

was dense, and the torrents of rain
pelted their faces. Another zigzag

'Mebbe he amt Dead" muttered

Between them they dragged the
heavy, inert body into the shanty and

was livid and his eyes tightly shut.

TRAIL SEEMS ASSURED

In response to the suggestion that a subscription be taken up with which to construct a trail along the face of the cliff between town and Spruce creek, active canvassing was indulged in yesterday with the result that there seems to be no doubt of the required fund being raised.
 Yesterday afternoon Eric Nelson, one of the committee of the Chamber of Commerce, to whom was entrusted the work of ascertaining the cost of construction, made a preliminary sur vey of the trails location. It is his opinion that good trail could be con- structed at cost but slightly over the estimated $500, the increase in the es- innate being caused by heavy rock work
 Should the trail be constructed it will be of undoubted benefit to the town in permitting visitors and resi- dents to visit one of the largest and

HARDING AND THE PRIMARY

President Harding has came out against the direct primary, believing that it's abolition will do away with the many abuses witnesses in the re- cent primary elections. In case this be done there is no doubt but that the old convention system will obtain which is a direct step backward. The primary law in Alaska has proven to be farce. The spirit in which it was framed has been grossly violated, es- pecally at the recent primary, where less than 300 democrats in the terri tory voted for their candidates, but on the contrary went to the polls and cast their ballots for republican candi- dates.
 While the Gateway hesitates to an- nounce it's belief that the primary should be abolished, on account of well remembered abuses of the convention system, it believes there should be a penalty attached to voting in the pri- maries for a man of the opposing po- Iitical faith. There is no way to en- force such a law, should it be passed, as the law cannot deprive man from voting for the candidate of his choice, in either primary or general election.
 Judges of election, however, should in spirit of fairness, adhere to the law requiring man to swear that he will support the candidates voted for in the primary, and should man be found guilty of perjury he should be heavily fined and imprisoned.
