they went ava to avoid bloodshed
but waited in the vicinity to make
sure that no violence was offered her.
AS she did not reach their camping
place, they became alarmed and went
back. They found her lying under
her horse, apparently abandoned by
him after some accident-if 1t was
only an accident.
"They brought her to Siston lake,
where 1 had just returned. This man
followed them, attacked and stunned
me from behind, stole a boat and two
packs, and took her away, and ap-
pears to have been living a tramp's
life In the woods with my wife ever
since"
Lee, who was still holding Joyce,
started, but Father McGrath held up
his hand. ma. ma, let him flemish

That's ALL" said Railway. In
spite of all, | am willing to forgive the
past and take her back. She was un-
conscious when this man got her into
his power. He shall pay for what he
has done, If there's law in this land
but this poor girl has been more sinned
against than SHINING. I'm willing to
acknowledge her as my wife still. And

Father McGrath walked a step or
two toward Joyce, who was standing,
encircled by Lees arm, her eyes cast
down. She raised them to his face in
mute appeal.
MY child, there's only one thing to
ask of We. Did you marry this mon!

Joyce s~huddered, and she looked at
the priest hopelessly. Eyes, it is true"
she answered. 81 married him."
A cry broke from Lees lips. He re
leased Joyce, and stood looking at her
with the expression of a nan who has
received his death blow.
Eyes, it's true, it's true" said Joyce.
She was speaking now with the calm
ness of one for whom nothing matters.
HE came to me with the threat that
he had my father in his power and
would betray him unless I married
him. 1t had been the terror of my

he would be arrested for that old

"Aye. deid these mony months, and
We claimed he was alive, and in your

But he broke off. and Railway made
no reply, but watched him as he STROBE
to the spot where Joyce was standing,
Gently he took her hand in his and be

while there was silence, and yet 1t
seemed as if through that silence in
Vulnerable powers were In conflict
man against man. man against law,
man against God.
Then Lee critd out In a tone so Wild
that even PATHWAY and Railways men
appeared awed by it:
"She's mine In the sight of God J
Joyce, tell me that you care nothing
for this trick that has been played on
YOU Tell me that you will defy this

Railway stepped forward, covering
Lee with a pistol.
"By heaven he swore, "T'll blow
your brains out if you NEEDLE with me
or mine, and there's no court in this
land will hold me guilty"
Lee scarcely seemed to be aware of
him. He was holding out his arms
to Joyce, and she was trembling, and
looking at him, irresolute. Father Nc
Grath was holding her hands and still
whispering in her ear. And suddenly
a dreadful change came over Lees
face. Confidence was replaced by a
look of mortal anguish.

Joyce looked at the priest, who step
ped between them but it was Joyce
whom he addressed, not Lee.

1.-THE motive has ma bearing on the
situation. He didna constrain you by

thing I've known he said, "but We
see this makes the ceremony we've
been through valueless. There's nae

you twa must cen just say guidbye."
Lee turned to Joyce. He cried her
name. She tottered toward him, hands
outstretched, cropping before her, as if
she were blind.
She found him, their hands clasped
each other thus during a period of
that seemed all eternity com
pressed into a few moments.
The words came m%onotonously from
lips: "Joyce, are you-going-to

and squared his shoulders, as IL he
were on parade. And quietly he
turned away.
Then the silence was broken by a
wild laugh from Railway. There was
something in that laugh more devilish
even than in the situation. For it was
amused, shameless. merciless, devoid
OF any human element 1t was like
the laugh that the hyena gives over

CURIOUS ORIGIN OF BUILDING
 RECALLED BY ALTERATIONS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25. P)- A brokerage firm is making interior alterations in the Parrott Building, a structure built in 1852 of stones brought from China. a.
 When the ship sailed in from Hang- kong and landed at the single wharf the city then had, Chinese coolies secured the great stones to bamboo poles and carried them to the site There was no derrick, and the stones were lifted into place by a prini- tive system of poles and ropes. But the coolies, directed by an American contractor, did good job.
 The little three-story building stood staunchly thru the 72 years of progress. It was one of the few downtown to survive the earthquake and fire of 1906 It presents a strange contrast to the glossy surfaces of the giant structures of San Fran cisco's Wall Street. Although in terior Improvements are being made, the exterior, built to endure, will not be changed.

Once International Outpost Dutch Harbor Like Dead City

SEATTLE, Nov. 24. P)-Dutch Harbor, in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, once a military rendezvous of four nations, is like a dead city.
 Before the fur treaty among the United States, England, Russia and Japan was consummated in 1911, Dutch Harbor was an outpost of in- trigue. In 1893, when seal poaching was at it's peak, America maintained five cutters and four gunboats there, while the British had three gunboats, the Japanese and Russians several war vessels.
 Daring poachers roamed the seas, and raids were common. Probably the best known of the early pirates was Alec Mclean, the Wolf Larson of Jack London's Sea Wolf" His last trip to the Arctic was made on the schooner Comancita, a vessel mas querading under forged Mexican pa pers. One of his best known ex- ploits was when he eluded pursu- ing cutter and anchored two barrels of seal skins to a buoy. Later he returned and picked them up.
 In 1911, alal governments involved in the seal industries agreed to han de the killings themselves. Guards were stationed at the rookeries and sealing-at-sea was made unlawful. This Treaty was drawn to run 15 years. The pact is expected to be renewed next year, although British Columbia sealers are opposed.

CURATOR MAY HAVE FOUND
 SITE OF OLD CHEROKEE TRIBE

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 24. (P- What may have been the habitat of the legendary lost tribe of Cherokee Indians for which the famous Chief Sequoia lost his life in the search in 1848, has been uncovered in Richard son county, Nebraska, by E. B. Black man, curator of the State Historical Society museum.
 Prof. Biackman found the remains of an ancient Indian city, together with several pieces of pottery and many clipped flint tools, different from those made by tribes hitherto known to have inhabited that region.
 Unearthed articles bear unmistak- able signs of Cherokee origin, MT.

SALMON M 0MIy M AN
 OCCASIONAL ITEM IN
 DIET OF HAIR SEALS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 24. (P) Hair seals eat salmon extensively the commerce department admits, but the precious fur seal of the AL askan Islands has an appetite mostly for others of the fish family.
 The seal herds, by their increase, are not threatening the continuance of the salmon fisheries, it is shown by two scientists, Dr. Frederic A. Lucas, of the American Museum of Natural History, and Dr. Leonard Stejneger of the National Museum. They investigated the fur seals diet and the department declares it con- siders salmon as "only an occasion al item of diet of the fur seal.'
 Lengthy evidence in the case ac- companies the conclusion reached The fur seal is said to be a deep water animal, while its cousin, the hair or harbor seal, keeps along shore As the salmon is considered to be coastal fish, the two most of the time are we'll apart.
 Also on Boring Island, one of the rookeries where the seal gather year. ly under government guard, there is a salmon stream, up which large numbers of salmon go every year. The fur seal herds have shown no disposition to interfere with them. Furthermore, in the stomachs of 273 seal opened for examination, salmon was found in but eighteen.
 The main article of seal diet is the squid, the mortuary inspections indicated, and the department says it "still remains unproven" that the seal herds have any appreciable effect on the great runs of salmon which annually enter the streams of Alaska.

SWELL OF VALUE OF LlRA
 DID NOT REDUCE LIVING

ROME, Nov. 25. (P)-The recent in crease in the value of the lira, which was expected to relieve the high cost of living, has instead left Ital- ians at loggerheads with the task of making ends meet
 When the lira was worth hardly more than three sents, the cost of living suddenly scared upward. But when the lira was again worth more than four cents, the high cost of liv- ing refused to come down, despite the lamentations of the people.
 Shopkeepers who marked up their prices refused to mark them down, arguing they had to pay for their stocks at a higher price and that the lira was too unsteady to permit stabilizing selling rates.
