Chapter 26. THE WARNING

Obadiah Evans mounted the front steps of Phelps Tavern with heavy, tired tread.
 His fatigue was indicated also by the unusually heavy lines in his clean-shaven face, lines which had not been there a month before. The clerk at the desk greeted him cor dially as he entered the office.
 "A room for the night" he said in answer to Obadiah's question, Certainly, MT. Evans. Have you any luggage?"

 Say" he hailed the clerk as the latter started to enter a room off the office, which room has MT. Philander Chaser"
 None; he only came for dinner late at that" remarked the clerk sleepily. He asked me the dis tance to Goshen and concluded to drive there. Is that all, sir?" Oba- diah nodded. "Your rooms on the second floor, same as you've gener- ally had. Shall go up with you?'
 "No, thanks I know my way about" and the clerk, thankful to secure few undisturbed hours ot sleep on the couch in the rear room departed.
 Left to himself, Obadiah crossed over to the hall and looked about l the porter was not here. nor any belated guests of the tavern. Nc sound disturbed the stiffness.
 Still holding his black bag, Oba- diah entered the telephone bootf and closed the door with infinite care. He grew hot and stuffy il the narrow box but waited with un' tiring patience while the telephone operator struggled to get Echt Farm.
 At last he heard the sound of receiver being removed from tn hook and Jim's voice came faintl. , over the wires.

 Obadiah hesitated; how far might he venture?
 "A dangerous one, I'm thinking, |" he said, and living too darn close to Yew Lodge"
 Beach caught his meaning ln- stantly.
 "Is the half-breed troubling Miss Prescott?" he asked. "If so, I'll run him off the place; that is," with more caution, "if she can prove he's nuisance"
 The farmer pushed back his chair and rose.
 "I'll prove it," his gruff tones deepened. q have your promise, Sheriff, to act if Shutdown gives Miss Prescott trouble. Remember, the girls living there alone, with only a negro maid. Your promise man."
 "You have it," was the prompt and emphatic reply, and Beach fol- lowed his caller in to the wide entry. Say" as Obadiah snatched Iup his overcoat and slid into 1t l"Miss Prescott gave me a ring to- day"

Labor Day Dance

The week to come will be a busy one for the members of the Civic Club. On Monday night, the Labor Day dance will be given as li- brary benefit, and it is hoped that the attendance will be, large. While the Club has incorporated and will receive a Territorial refund on books and magazines that will make it possible to run the library without charge for cards, it will be necessary for the club to have enough in the treasury to care for the expenses incurred until a re- fund is in order While the usual charge of a dollar a couple, or for men, will be made, the small charge of 25 cents will be made for extra ladies. With the expense necessary for a successful dance, it is impos- sible to make profit unless this charge is made. A nominal price for punch and waters will also be made,

Alaska Nightingale to
 Appear in Wrangell

Marye Burns who will appear here in concert next Wednesday night, with Mrs. Fern Vance as accompanist, continues to win un- stinted praise for her singing in Juneau where she appeared in a second concert and in Skagway, her home town before going to Eu- rope, where she has given two con- eerts this year. Those who fail to hear her next week will undoubt- edly miss a great treat and an op- portunity to hear an artist of merit.
 Her program will occupy an hour and a half in time. It is so varied that it should appeal to all tastes. Miss Burns has beautiful eoloratura soprano voice. In her rendition of the simpler numbers and ballads, there is warmth and sweetness that is delightful while her training and technique are shown to great advantage in the more difficult airs. She adapts her manner to the type of song with great dramatic ability, and has most pleasing stage presence. New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cincin- nati, Chicago and Pacific Coast cities have heard her with delight and enthusiasm and she is known as a real American artist whose programs appeal to every class of audience.
 The committee for the Civic Club which has gone to some eff fort to secure the appearance of Miss Burns here is anxious to greet the singer with an appreciative audience at Starland next Wednes- day evening and urges everyone to keep the date in mind.
