Dear ChflSty: Are you interested in spiritualism I have been ex- perimenting along this line for some time. Last night, after going through the regular routine of a seance, all by myself, a rather in- teresting spirit appeared. He told me his name was Burns. He in- formed me that he had been a sort of a poet while on earth and he spoke in Scotchy dialect. We talked on various subjects, including hard times. He thought prohibition was a joke. Just before departing, he bade me get a pen and write what he would dictate. 1 had quite a struggle with his dialect but am enclosing. copy of his words in the best English I could make out of them.-Amateur Medium. Editors note: The poem to which Amateur Medium refers. follows:) I must return to High Estate. JOt down these lines that haunt me

WILLIAM E. LEE ALASKA PIONEER. DIES IN STATES.
 
Early Locator in Cold Bay Succumbs at Marys-
 vile, Wash.

William E. Lee, old-time Alaskan and well-known in Juneau, died May 3 at Marysville, Wash, accord ing to word received yesterday by Judge Frank A. Boyle of this city. MT. Lee is survived by his widow. Mrs. Stella Lee; his mother, and a brother, John Lee.
 William E. Lee was known to acquaintances and friends as Bill Lee,' said Judge Boyle today. He and his brother, Jack, were pio- neers in the Cold Bay oil district. In the early sos they located oil claims under the placer mining laws and made some attempts to drill the grounds on small scale. When oil lands were withdrawn from public entry, the Lee brothers still held their claims and after en- actment of the oil-leasing law they received permits to prospect the property they had located. Bill Lee bonded his ground to the Standard Oil Company, which drilled one well of more than 5000 feet depth and another well of unknown depth.
 The Standard discontinued drill ing, and since then, because of the over-supply of oil in the States, there has been no further attempt at development
 Billy Lee continued prospecting, however, until his health failed last |fall. He and Mrs. Lee left Alas ka for the States then"

The Baccalaureate sermon for the six graduating Senior girls of the Douglas High School, was held yes- terday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Congregational Church. Rev. Harry R. Allen took as the theme Of his address the quotation from the Bible that Whoever asks you to go a mile with him, go twain. :"
 We should do more than is ex- pected of us. The purpose of edu- cation is to prepare us for life" said Rev. Allen.
 '"The Seniors have finished high school in order to begin life, which contains three major things: in- spiration, aspiration and perspira- tion,' said the Rev Allen.
 According to Rev Allen, inspir- ation is the desire for something; it is inward enthusiasm. In order to succeed hard work is required
 The Seniors marched into the church. Mrs. Brown played piano solo, followed by vocal duet sung by Mrs. Ellis and Mrs. Glen Kirk ham accompanied by Mrs. Brown. Rev. P. E. Bauer gave the opening prayer.

der his chin. He straddled chair and grinned at her.
 Well, Nora, my own, how are you I've good news for you!' he said gayly.
 Have we come into a fortune?''
 He pulled out a cigarette from a flat tortoiseshell case and lighted it. Nora noticed for the first time that he was nervous. She thought He's in a hole. He doesn't know how to tell me"
 You might as well tell me at once, Julian!"
 T spent the afternoon yesterday with Helen Meyers. And the truth is-the fact is" he inhaled a great breath of s,loke and flung back his head, I'm going to marry her. '
 She could not say word. She felt a suffocating emotion take pos session of her.
 Well, aren't you going to con- gratulate me?" her father asked airily. Its the best thing that ever happened to us, Nora. She has enough money, and a place at St. Jean de Luz and she loves to wander about just as I do. Besides she's charming woman!" her father added when he saw her eyes pitilessly on him.
 He went on in an aggrieved tone. Here on the happiest day of my life you're going to sit like clod. You're jealousp he cried in tri- umph.
 Perhaps I am," Nora admitted. "This isn't like you. I can't un- derstand you at all" She was not glad. She was con- fused and angry and hurt. She loved her father, but she despised him a little and pitied him more. But suddenly she realized what it meant: She was free. She was ashamed as this feeling surged through her. Her face frightened, she held out her hand like boy, and he grasped it.
 There, I knew you'd see 1t as I do. She's always admired me. I saw that the first time I met her. We've even decided about you. Wherever we go you're to come. You'll find she's a charming wom- an as you know her better" Her father rambled on while Nora sat looking at him. Did he think that she would let Mrs. Meyers support her and go trailing after them all over Europe? Her fierce young pride rose up in arms.
 How could Julian think that she would let Mrs. Meyers dispose of her life in this way? Her rebellion famed into words of protest.
 But I couldn't, Julian. You must see that. Not on her money!" But it will be my money then!" | He stood up. "Ill tell her that you're delighted, Nora"

Chapter 9 MAN PROPOSES

Magdalenna set down the break fast tray with bump. Sht smiled at Nora, the golden hoops swinging beside her olive cheeks She began to explain all the vio- lent happenings of the last few days. Magdalenna groaned ano flung her arms up, made the sigr of the cross and cradled some thing in her arms. There was an other baby somewhere; but wheth- CT it was the baby of her mother Nora never knew. Then Magdalen- ma kissed Nora's hand and thump- ed out on her sturdy peasant feet
 Nora put the tray on the table and drew it up beside the window Shes drank the tepid coffee and ate rolls with a lusty young appetite She loved her funny little room the old chest of drawers, the mir TOT in it's tarnished frame. Every thing seemed charming this morn ing. What would Nicholas say when he saw her?
 How would he look at her?
 When she had drunk the last drcp of coffee and eaten the crumbs of her rolls, she drew out a battered diary and began to flutter through the pages. It was a long time since she had made an entry { Here they were-those old chap ters of her wandering life, with Julian here and there, never satisfied, always hoping.

 Would you take me with you? Would you take me. home?" Was she as innocent as she seem- ed, or was she a bold little adven- turess? Knowing her father he could be- lieve it only too well, but looking at her white face he knew she was not brazen but desperate.

NO, tell her that I give my con- sent"
 "Splendid!" he laughed, "splen- did!"
 She heard her father run down the stairs; the door banged after him. He was going through the blue gate. Her own life was chang ed in the twinkling of an eye.
 She was free now. She tried to recapture the first sharp thrill of freedom but that was dulled by fear. For she felt desolate as though a child whom she had loved and watched over had been snatch ed from her. Henceforth Helen Meyers and not herself would be responsible for him. What a terrible thing it was to be penniless !She thought of ways and means. But of whom could she borrow money. Nicholas :. {. she stood up and went to the window. She saw man climbing the hill side; something in his swaggering walk made her think it was Nich- olas.
 | She flew out of the house and followed the narrow path that led up the hilr to the chestnut trees. She topped the hill and saw his figure clear against the sky; then he dipped down into the valley and she went more slowly in pursuit. When she reached him she saw he was leaning back against one of the chestnut trees, his legs stretch cd straight before him.
 He was not at all as she had thought of him. The unsparing light showed his face older, more scanned, with grayish pallor of the cheek bones. He looked up as though she had interrupted him when she came to sit tinidly at some distance from him.
 What's the matter?" he asked, frowning.
 Julian is going to marry Mrs. Meyers"
 "Yes?"
 He told you?" Last night" He looked at her keenly as he added, You don't like Mrs. New ers?"
 "No. I hate her!" she said, sob almost bursting from her. And you'd do anything to get away?"
 "Anything!" she whispered. He took his pipe out of his pocket and an oilskin bag of tobac- CO., He packed it awkwardly with his left hand. She watched him in silence until he motioned that she draw closer to him. She waited, her arms about her knees, staring down the hillside with it's pallid olive trees. and off to the brilliant sky
 T had pleasant news too, this morning." he said in matter -of- fact tone. "Dr. Madroni tells me I'll never use my hand again. Par alysis," his face contorted with the last word into a grimmace.
 It was as though all the familiar things she knew were gone. She had stepped off into some lonely place where he and she were shut in by pain.
 If hadn't asked you to open i that shutter"
 If! If! If! He said violently. "If hadn't met your father at the pensione. if hadn't come to stay with him. if the nail hadn't been there"
 But some doctor can do some thing"
 Those fools of doctors!"
 "You'll find someone to cure you"
 T haven't your belief in the kindness of =. God" he said bit- terly.
 A tear ran crookedly down her cheek and slipped into the throat
