ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The clock that Tick Took pointed
to was made Of white alabaster with
ornaments of gold. On top was a
letter IN" in god circled around by
a wreath Of golden leaves.
On top of white columns at the
side were golden eagles, and besides
other ornaments Of flowers and
leaves, also in gold, were four golden
claw feet on which the clock rested.

That IN" on top Of the clock stands
for Napoleon. The clock was a pres

his initial in gold"
"How did the clock get here"
asked Nancy. Did he send it to
these people?'
"No, that is wha. the story is
about" said the clock fairy. ut was
this way. Once when we had great
war called the Revolutionary War,
there was a young Frenchman in
search Of adventure who came over
to this country and helped General
George Washington. His name was
La Fayette. That's a pretty hard
name to remember, but you can if
you try. He was marquis. which
was something like lord or duke.
You see he was nobleman in
France and it was pretty kind Of him
to come.
"He made many friends here in
America by his bravery and good
temper and charming manners, and
also for jumping in and helping the
way he did. One Of his dearest
friends was named Hamilton. who
lived in New York on Wall Street.
It is a very important street now.
He was first soldier and later a
great statesman and brave in more
ways than one, Mister Hamilton
was"

ing out of the frying pan into the
fire, think, and the first thing thew
did to La Fayette was to throw him
into prison. That was because the

was between the two halves of the
country.

DIG FOR CLAIMS

CLAM DiGGERS AT NUKA BAY UNI COVER RICH VALUES FREE
 MILLING GOLD QUARTZ

Digging in the beach for a mess of juicy razor back clans, John Smith and Alex Kasenek ran across a body of ore at Nuka Bay which it is be- lieved will run S1O0 ton. The find was struck on the east short of the Northern arm of Nuka Bay number of weeks ago. Several rumors have reached Seward of a strike at the bay but nothing definite could be ob- tained until last evening when the partners arrived in Seward to cele- brate their good fortune over the Fourth of July George Pappedis, chef at the Seward Grill, is assocaated with the partners in the mine.
 Upon returning to their property next week, the partners will begin to strip 200 feet of the exposed ore body. The lead shows strong four feet of rich values, much of which is free milling ore shot through with gale na. Work on a tunnel will start just as soon as possible, it is stated.

A miniature Panama Canal was dug down in the Oil Bay district last winter by Nat White, we'll known oldtimer of the Seward region who did considerable prospecting in the vicinity of Mile 15. MT. White dug unassisted canal IA of mile in length, 12 feet in width and four feet in depth, in order that he could get his launch, the Brighton, back into deep water again, after being flung high and far back from the beach during a violent storm which visited the bay last fall.
 Ben Poindexter, geologist and engi- neer, who returned to Seward last week from the Iliamna district, Is authority for the above facts of the case. He said he could not conceive how any one man could do such an immense amount of work in the few months it was accomplished in. He maryeled at the high banks of frog en blue gumbo, thrown up from the bottom of the canal and the natural engineering ability displayed by the oldtimer. This spring, or rather a few weeks ago, shortly after the de parture of MT. Poindexter from the Oil Bay region, MT.
