CUTTER BEAR RETURNS
 FROM SIBERIAN CRUISE

The Y. S. Coast Guard Cutter Bear which has been on cruise along the Siberian coast arrived in Nome last Sunday morning bringing with them, August Masik former mem Der of the United States Coast Guard Station here at Nome.
 Mask left Nome in the spring of 1921 on the schooner Belinda to go to Kolyma iRver and assist in bringing back the Polar Bear, a schooner that was at that time stranded in Kolyma River in the ice. The Polar Bear later broke to pieces in the ice while making an attempt to return to open waters.
 In remarking on the conditions of Siberia. Mask stated that the two men, Arnold Castell and Pete Paul. sen that made the trip with him are being held by the Soviet Govern rnent pending the arrival of Rus sian gunboat from Vladivostok which is supposed to have aboard Soviet officials that will settle the trading difficulties along the Siber- ian coast Costell and Paulsen are being held for having in their pos session furs obtained in Siberia. Mask states that he did not have any trouble in leaving Siberia, as he did not have any furs at the time of his departure.
 The government does not give any reason for the confiscation of furs according to Mask other than that they have received orders to do so from vladivostok. Masik states that the Government authorities in the localities visited by him are very illiterate, some of them being un- able to read and write any at all.
 The Soviet and what is known as the White government both collect separate taxes from the same peo- pie for the same items and some of the Traders have paid taxes to both governments, neither government recognizing the others rights to col lsct. according to Mask.
 Masik states that no fox skins can be taken from the country and the taxes on other skins are too high to pay the traders to deal in them. Food stuffs is very scarce and the natives in these localities will be in a starving condition in less than two months unless relief by the govern n(nt takes riace. Hzt
 According to Mask the schooner Iskum is under guard by ofifcials of the Soviet government and is not allowed to leave the vicinity of the Siberian Coast. The Belinda was confiscated by the White govern ment and later taken away from them by the Soviet government, and is now supposed to be in Anadyr.

SIR WALTER RALEIGH
A. D. 1903

To its neither depths Of shame and
topmost heights Of glory, the Sixteenth
century is summed up In Sir Walter
Raleigh. He was Gllbert's young half
brother, thirteen years his junior, and
a kinsman of Drake, Hawkins and
Granville, all men of Devon.
He played the dashing young gallant,
b%uteheri1g Irish prisoners of war; he
played the leader In the second sack
Of Cadiz; he played the knight errant
stOrmed the preached walls of a fort /;
be played the hero Of romance In q
wild quest up the Orinoco for the dream
king FL Dorado and the mythical gold
en- city of Manoa. Always he played
to the gallery, and when he must dress
the part of Ql@en Elizabeth's adoring
lover, he let it be known that his jew
eled shoes had cost six thousand pieces
of gold. He wrote some of the noblest
prose in our language, besides most ex-
quisite verse, invented distilling Of
fresh water from the sea. and paid for
the expeditions which founded Yir-
ginia.
So many and varied parts this mighty
actor played supremely well, holding
the center of the stage as long as
there was an audience to hiss, or to
applaud him. Only in private he
shirked heights Of manliness that he

any of them, even without knowledge
of this, might have understood Calls
ta's joy at the knowledge that Newton
Bronson's eyes were on her from his
station by the big pillar
Hello, Calista l' said Jim. "How
are you enjoying it?"
"Oh !" said Calista, and drew a long,
long breath. "Ah'm enjoying myself
right much, Mr.. JIM"
ANY of the home folks coming in
to see?"
"Yes, seh," answered. Calista. "All
the school board have stopped by this
morning."
Jim looked about him. There they
were now, over in a corner, with their
heads together. He went toward them,
his face still beaming with that radi-
ance which had shone so plainly to
the eyes of Calista Simms, but they
saw in it only a grin of exultation over
his defeat of them at the hearing be-
fore Jennie Woodruff. When Jim had
drawn Sc close as almost to call for
the extended hand, he felt the repul-
sion of their attitudes and sheered off
on some pretended errand to a dark
corner across the room.
They resumed their talk.

"Suits me all right" said Bronson.

"Well," said Bonner, "he seems to

"Oh, 1 don't mean anything bad,

The caucus broke up after making
sure that the three members of the
school board would be as one man in
maintaining a hostile front to Jim
Irwin and his tenure of office. 1t

sion, in a little district wherein there

CHAPTER XIII
The Colonel Takes the Field.

Jim stood apart and alone with his
thoughts after his rebuff by the cau-
cusing members of the school board.
81 don't see," said a voice over
against the cooking exhibit, "what
there is in this to set people talking.
Buttonholes! Cookies! Humph !"
1t was Mrs. Bonner who had clearly
come to scott. With her was Mrs.
Bronson, whose attitude was that of
a person torn between conflicting in
fiuences. Her husband had indicated
to the crafty Bonner and the subtle
Peterson hat he was still loyal to the
school board, but while c%onsorting
with the c~ensorious Mrs. Bonner she
evineed r~estiveness when the school
and its work was condemned. Was not
her Newton in charge of u part of this
show? Was he not an open and de-
faint champion of Jim Irwin, and Il
constant and enthusiastic attendant
upon. not only his classes, but a yari-
ETY. of evening and Saturday affairs?
And had not Newton become a better
boy-a wonderfully better boy?
Mrs. Bronson's heart was filled with
resentment that she also could not be
enrolled among Jim Twins supporters.
And when Mrs. Bonner sneered at the
b%uttonholes and cookies, Mrs. Bronson,
knowing how the little fingers had
puzzled themselves over the one, and
young faces had become fioury and red
over the other, flared up a little.
And l don't see," said she, amy
thing to laugh at. I'd like to help

Mrs. Bonner was far too good a
diplomat to be cornered in the same
enclosure with a rupture of relations.
"And quite right, too" said she.

Al home and by their mothers"
SWELL" said Mrs. Bronson, take
them Simms girls, now. They have to
have help outside their home"
Yes" agreed Mrs. Bonner, land a
lot more help than a farmland can
give ZEN in school. l shouldn't wonder
if there was a lot we don't know about
why they come north"

gated Mrs. Bonner, as they moved
away. Amt that your business and

Instead of desiring further knowl-
edge of what they were discussing,
Jim felt a dreadful disgust at the
whole thing. Jennie was against him,
he believed, and as for her being in
love with him-to hear these women
discuss it was intolerable. He felt his.

for fifteen years awaiting execution in

appealed to the avariee of the court,

offered to fetch gold from the Orinoco,
and got leave, q prisoner on parole, to
sail once more for the Indies.

Calista was in charge of the little chill
dren whose work was to be demon
strated that day, and was in a state
of exaltation to which her starved be-
ing had hitherto been a stranger. Per-
haps there was something similar in
her condition of feryent happiness to
that of Jim. She, too, was doing some
thing outside the sordid life of the
Simms cabin. She yearned oyer the
children in her care, and would have
been glad to die for them-and besides
was not Newton Bronson in charge of
tile corn exhibit, and a member of the
corn-judging team?
To the eyes of the town girls who
passed about among the exhibits, she
was poorly dressed; but if they could
have seen the clothes she had worn on
that evening when Jim Irwin first
called at their cabin they could pea
haps have understood the sense of
well-being and happiness in Calista's
