Hyder Alaska miner., 1923-01-03

James 0'Brien, one of the old.
 timers of the Yukon, and for sev- eral years resident of Anchorage, was admitted to the Pioneer Home at Sitka recently.
 Three pioneers of Dawson died in one week recently. They were D. E. Glendenning, tobacco whole saler, Oscar GustaYson, miner, and August Labelle, woodsman. Matt Frank and Jalmr Rinke, miners at the Chichagof mine, were severely injured about the face and hands by an explosion when they drilled into missed hole. They were taken to the Pioneer hospital in Sitka for treatment. It is feared that Frank will lose his eyesight, but Rinke's injuries are considered less serious.
 Bartley Howard, a well-known former resident of Cordova, who about year ago moved to Anch- orage, where he constructed the EIks, building and received several contracts from the Engineering Commission, has been appointed by the Commission 10 the office of superintendent of bridges and buil- dings on the Alaska Railroad, with jurisdiction over the entire line.

had fallen from her hair. Now it
was in her right hand. She held
it, looking at it through the blur
of her tears. Darkness, nothing
ness, the eternal Lethe.
She did not strike. Turning,
she flung herself face downward
on the scarlet mattress of the
dancing girl. For long while
there was the gasping, breath
catching sound of sobs, and little
means, and half movements like
those of crippled animal in un-
bearable pain. Cassandra, her
face pressed against the mattress,
writhed and wept.
81 love him." The craving, the
tortured tenderness, the worship
that was in her yearned toward
him like something in an amending
death throe of hunger and thirst.
Her own self, her limbs, her body
were as hateful to her as those of
an outcast leper. She touched the
bottom of the very pit of bottom
less night where despair was tan
gible as the weight of numberless
mountains hurled by gods of dark
ness upon the PROSTATE eoul. But
she loved him. She, could not pass,
by a dagger stroke, into the blank
void where there would not be
even the memory Of his face, like
a bitter drifting light in the utter
dark. She must follow him, find
him, render him whatever services
the most abject of slaves might
perform, shield him from danger
fling herself between him AMI
the swords of those who sought him.
She raised herself. Everything
was the same, save that the dwind-
ling lamp flame had begun to
flicker and shadows like leashed
beasts crouching to spring crowded
the cell. Half-muffled The festal
music sounded. Perhaps they had
closed the double doors that
opened upo, the torch-lit court
strcWn with rose petals.
Cassandra shuddered. There
was the rawness of midnight in
the air. Her soul was quiet. 1t
seemed that she had no more tears.
Like those women of old times
whose erect and slender figures,

her shoulders. He was half turned
from her. His voice was con-
trolled, low. Something in his
aspect suggested man who has
lost much blood in a prOtracted
struggle and who is very weary.
He moved, turning toward the
doorway.
Cassandra dropped to her knees.
Her hands caught his hand. EVAN

In her lifted face the, great,
dark seeming eyes were as hag-
gardly tragic of those of Electra
or of Antigone. He looked down
at her and then beyond her in
that distracted manner that was
native to him when facing diff
Guilty or when he had suffered any
deep hurt. He did not speak.
After a moment or two he olsen
gagged himself from her, quite
gently, and moved to the doorway
and put aside the curtain and
passed out as quietly as he had
come.
The little bronze lamp burned
steadily upon the inlaid stool.
Near it stood tiny pot of blue
eye-paint. The tumult in the
street had died right away, but
the crying sweetness of harp music
came up from below, with drum
and tambOurine. The girl upright
upon her knees on the floor of the
dancers cell stared with fixed eyes
at the darkness of the doorway

hair and fell to the ground with a
light thud and rattle. The girls
strained eyes blinked. Her lips
parted. She came TO her feet and
with kind of spring both hands
clutched at her heart.

She swayed. Sobs tore at her
and there was a rush of tears.
Her arms were at her sides now,
her hands clenched, her face up
turned. So might have been

She had not meant to utter it.

"Godsr'
He was on his feet. His hands
caught her wrists. She was kneel-
ir ION the mattress, looking up at
him. It was as though she were
looking into the. face of
stranger.
What have you been to this
man ?"
Behind Cassandra, distant but
deathless, there was a Spartan i'm
heritance. She had pride and that
ultimate, bleak courage that stands
forth naked in either physical or
spiritual extremity.
His slave and his mistress"
She answered deliberately. She
had become still. There was moth
ing further to hope or fear.
"His mistress! You were my

worshipped the memory of you!

She was erect--brought to her
feet by the grip of his hands. His
arms caught her violently, as a
victor in conquered city might
catch a woman of the vanquished.

She was crushed-strained up
to him.
You're Observation-Disclosures!
There was a sort of agony in
his voice. And then he was kiss

"Ohw A gasp from the girl.
This was the pain beyond pain.
She found herself sobbing terribly
-sobbing broken words.

seemed to draw a slow breath in

edy, seemed to stand forth from
the past haloed with pale fire, her
face was set toward one purpose
and the strange stiffness of the
irrevocable had claimed her, as
though it were the stiffness of
death.
Putting up, her hands, she coiled
her hair again into its heavy knot,
securing it with the golden dag
ger. Rising she re-enveloped her
self in the dark, shroud-like drap-
cry that had lain in a swirl upon
the floor. Philip, the Graeco-
Syrian villa with its ceilings of
cedar and its floors of alabaSter,
the tame leopard, the idleness, the
hours Of studied and hectic aban-
donment, savage or sensuous all
these stood off from her like the
unreal yet vivid sequences of a
shameful dream. She was outcast
unworthy of love, scarcely of
pity, set apart by Fate to ira
verse a desert at whose uttermost
limit flickered the flame of a.
sacrificial death. This alone was
real. There was no pastonly a
wavering background like a cur
tain dyed in sinister patterns be-
hind which moved threatening, un-
seen things.
She looked at the cell of the
dancing girl, lighted by the ex-
piring lamp. It was like place
in which sudden death has oc-
Cured - familiar, yet strange.
Slowly she passed out into the
wooden-floored gallery through
whose screen of latticework the
light of the torches burning in the
court below came luridly. The
loose board in the flooring creaked
under her feet. She came to the
head of the stair where the three
spouted lamp burned. There were
scattered pomegranate flowers
upon the stone steps, red as fresh
blood.

BLOOMINGTON AFFIRMS
PREVIOUS SCHOOL VOTE

RrOOMINGTON-As a elimination
If the efforts of the past few years to-
v,ord improved school facilities in
bloomington, the adjourned annual
Jistrict meeting Monday evening
voted So to 26, in favor of bonds to the
omount of $4,000 for the erection of a
now high school building and then by
an even larger majority passed the ne
caesarv resolution to borrow $4,000
additional from the state trust funds
for the same purpose. With the $4,000
snncia1 tax voted at the July meeting
and the salvage from the present
building, at least $4,000 is available
which competent architects declare is
ample for a building that will fit our
needs and be a real credit to the COM
mnnitv. Plans are now in process of
nreDaration and will be decided upon
&c soon as possible A strictly mod
prn building in all respects, of suffic-
lent size to take care of present and
hture needs will be erected. 1t is ex-
nected that the contract can be let
This winter, and work started just as
soon as weather conditions permit in
spring.
The meeting also instructed the
school board almost unanimously to
have the constitutionality Of the Mi
nier anti-consOlidation bill tested III
the Supreme court. BY a strange Co
incidence, the Fennimore district had
an adjourned meeting Monday even
ing and took the same action, on in
formation from supposedly reliable
sources that the retroactive feature
of the bill, which nullified the action
of the state superintendent in adding
territory to both districts, is unconsti-
tutional. The opponent of consolida
ton as we'll as those favorable to it are
equally anxious to have this point f.
nally decided. Whatever decision is
made by the courts, it will not affect
the validity of the action at Monday
meeting. If the bill is unconstitution-
al, the outside territory will be liable
for its share of the school district ex-
penses; if the bill is constitutional.
the present village district will con-
tinue to pay the school bills.-Record.
