 But the thing is I can't be friends with you"
 Because of ASl1?"
 "Yes. That's where the harm will come in. He will not let any boy or man be friends with meat least out here at Sunset"
 Very well. III give up my job and go and ride for some other outfit-if you will be my friends"
 That's fine and square of you, MT. Rock, and I might promise so much"
 Much? That isn't much. mean only friendship. DO you think I'm the kind of man who'd like 8 girl to give more than friendship until he'd earned it. Well, I'm not. And I wouldn't ask anythn'."
 MT. Rock, you're making this harder for me-" she said with pathos.
 I'm sorry. But go ahead"
 Cowboys have called on me here and many have come to ride for Dad. Just the regular run of cow boys. Ash soon got rid of them"
 q wonder how he did all that. I know cowboys well, where pretty girl is concerned. And I'm just curious"
 'I'n tell you. Ash has chased them away in every conceivable manner. He's lied, as he lied to you about me not seeing riders that came to Sunset. He'd coo1ly invite them to leave. He'd bluff. He'd threaten. He'd cripple md shoot their horses. Oh, that was the vilest thing! He'd get them drunk while on guard-wl1ich Dad couldn't forgive. He'd ridicule any sensitive cowboy before the outfit

 ''I know. The point was the harm that might come through Ash. Please be frank with me. If I've brought this distress upon you, I'm entitled to know why?"
 I've always been very-very fond of Ash," she said, tremulously, struggling for a composure that would not return Partly because he was always so oakland l seemed the only one who could in fluence him for good. Ash cares for nothing but me Not for father, mother, brothers, or his other sis- ters He hates men-he hates horses hates cattle. .. And through these things I Eve stuck to him until now I-I-Mr. Rock, I can't tell you" Spare yourself, Miss Preston, , returned Rock, impuqsively. 'I's erful-beautiful fyou. ad- mire and respect you for it. But I can't understand.
 ssNo one can," she said, sadly. Alice thinks I'm mad. Oh, how I dread this But it has to be done-more with you than with any other who ever tried to be friends with me. I've known lots of boys, and liked them, too. But not lately. As grow older Ash grows more jealous. He fears I might like some cowboy"
 "Oh, see! Is such a remarkable thing possible?' returned Rock, un- able to resist a slight sarcasm.
 "Of course it is,' she retorted. Her eyes flashed at him. What do you think am, anyway"
 Under the present circum- stances I reckon I dare not tell you"

Chapter IT ROCK GETS DESPERATE

Through my brother, Ash said Thiry.
 Well, that's not hard to be- lieve," rejoined Rock, with sharp ness. The other day he was a drunken, vulgar Tout. He ought to have been kicked out of that cor ral. and I'd have done it but for you. Today, when he was sober, he was a different proposition to meet. He was cold, mean, vici- ous. He had no hospitality of the West-no idea what was due a tired and hungry stranger. But at that I'd prefer him drunk. In my day on the range I've met some

 She drew her hands away and lifted her head. You're quite right MT. Rock" she said, unsteadily. Ash is-all that you say. To my shame I confess it. All my life I've made excuses for him. It's no use. Fl cannot do it-any more. I. But that's not the point"

Oh, he has beaten several cowboys brutal- ly. Then, worst of all-he has thrown his gun on more than one. Archie Black will be crippled for life. And Jack Woruhington nearly died of a gun-shot."

consisted of chorus singing and several beautiful tableaus the first of which was We Three Kings, } tableau and song by Edward Kerr, Oscar Demmert and Milton Jackson. "The Angel appearing to the Shep- herds" and "The Manager Scene, ," accompanied by Silent Night, Holy Night" sung by the Girls chorus, completed the tableaus. The Scrip ture portions around each scene were read by Mrs. S. M. Cassida.
 The costumes, scenery and light ing effects were very beautiful de- spite the fact that materials ar rived only a few days before the program and had to be rushed to completion. After the program Santa appeared. and after acquaint- ing himself, began distributing presents from under a large lighted tree. Besides presents there were bags of candy and nuts for all.
 Much credit is due Mrs. Jackson for her untiring efforts to make the program a success: She was severely handicapped by lack of equipment and by the late arrival of materials | for the program.
 Mrs. Borland had charge of the decorating of the tree which was very beautiful. She also had charge of the distribution of the gifts. MT. Cassida was responsible for the lighting effects used in the tableaus.

 At the meeting of the chamber last week the following eommunioa- tion was sent to the Alaska Cham Der of Commerce:
 The Wrangell Chamber of Com merce wishes to go on record as en- dorsing the plan to BUY AMERI- CAN and respectfully petitions the other Chambers of Commerce of the Territory to join in the move to place the products of American manufacture first, for the following reasons.
 1. Every item of foreign manu- facture purchased takes that much from the American work ingman.
 2. Alaska depends upon the people in the states to purch" SC it's fish, as all ther markets have been lost because of depreciated foreign currency making 1t possible for foreign nations to undersell us. Because we depend upon local consumption, we should make every effort to buy domestic prod
 ucts.
 3. Every dollar in gold lost to
 the nation because of unfavorable
 trade balances weakens the na-
 tional finances. We should try to
 keep the money at home.
 4. Because American manufactured
 products are usually better, and the foreign product of cheaper and poorer grade.
