Did you ever see her?"
Rescuing Voice
Antonio Ford leaned over to-
ward her. "You little wretch"
she called across the table,
"what are you tormenting Jack
Gailliard about?"
II want him to tell me a story
and he won't" said Gail, pout-
ing.
IL tell you one,". said the
badgered young man in sudden
desperation. "I once met girl
in Culpeper and fell in love with
her the moment I looked into
her eyes! Do you like that
story, ma'am?"
Goodness" faltered Miss
LovelesS, was she as beautiful
as that? And what happened
then, sir?"
"The longer I looked at her
the more mad1y I loved her."
"And-?"
"And-?"
"That'S the story ma'am."
"But-how did it end?"
It hasn't ended"
"You mean that you are still
in love with her?"
''I am"
"Wh-what are you going to do
about it?"
Continue to love her, ma'am."
"Does she kneg2" cried Miss

Haven't you had any adven-

very wide.
"None worth mentioning,
ma'am." Suddenly he was blush
ing. And the reason for his
mounting color was that some
thing in her eyes, lovely as dark
orchids, had reminded him of
an infatuation of which no
white man could be proud.
DeviIish Question
The girl knew it, intuition
made her certain; and instantly,
in spite Of her peril, all the
delicate deviltry in her was
aroused. Captain Gailliard,"
she said innocently, ."I have

me, ma'am, to present my young
friend, Capt. Jack Gailliard,
who is fortunate to be your
cavalier. Capt. Gailliard, sub,
Miss Loveless Of Washington,
who is an honored guest at
Blythedale."
For one terrible, smiling mo-
ment their eyes met. Then he
bowed.
Her first breath, drawn pain
fully. was almost a sob. And
yet it was instantly evident that
he had not recognized her. Her
white skin, fashionably dressed
hair, pretty, modish clothes
seemed utterly to disguise her.
Nor did he even seem to hear
in her charming fresh and mod
ulated voice any faintest echo
of the saucy drawl of iii Lu-
cille," the Headquarters mu-
latto laundreSs, at Bower
House. Apparently there was
nothing in this young girl that
recalled to him the harsh,
frightened tones of the ragged
fugitive, who had so recently
stopped him at the pistols
point, and who, with Vespasian
Chancellor and himself, had
watched a Confederate spy be-
ing done to death at sunset on
a hayrick gallows.

Stimulating Congress

It won't be long before SEN
ator Royal S. Copeland will be
presented with a drastic liquor
problem.
And that is whether they will
be permitted to have beer,
wines, and liquors in the Senate
side of the Capitol when the
boys come back to work early
in January.
The Senate restaurant failed
to serve 3.2 beer last spring and
it is decidedly doubtful whether
they will permit the sale Of
anything more potent in the
spring.
The protests will be too great,
probably, although it is certain
that many of the members
would like to have ready access
to a mild stimulant for stormy
sessions.
And it is certain that in the
grand old days there were
other members that found that
treatment beneficial.

Hunting Strategy

Margaret Nichols jumped
into the saddle up in Howard
county the other day for a
little canter behind the hounds.
It was her first time at the
chase.
When the hunt was over
Margaret returned home and
somewhat breathlessly began
to describe in a weary voice
her experience of the day.
She told of hanging to the
saddle, and, when asked how
she negotiated the jumps, said:
81 just waited until everyone
else had gone over and by that
time most Of the jumps were
down."

A host Of CWA workers are
crowded into the office, origin

Although the report should be
ready for the Senate by the time
that body convenes, the COM

of the depth of the investigation.

If "Alice" and all the other be-
loved characters of the WON
derland" tale are forever en-
graved on the hearts Of the
English speaking people the
great Sir John Tenniel must be
given equal credit with Lewis
Carroll for having made them
so.
Sir John was the artist who
created the marvellous drawings
that have always been associated
with "Alice." Ever since the
first in 1865 the two books,
wonderland" and Through
the Looking Glass" have carried
his illustrations. Those of you
who love to draw and hope to
be artists some day would do
well to study them. They can
teach you lot.
Lesser artists have attempted
new drawings but their imagin-
alton has always fallen so far
short Of Sir Johns great works
that they are forgotten.
In making the picture, "Alice
In Wonderland" opening Satur-
day at the Metropolitan Thea
ter, Paramount used the Ten
niePs drawings as a basis for
each character. All are as
nearly as possible, faithful re.
productions of Tenniels draw

 SILVER RESTORATION

Included among a number of striking messages in support of silver restoration received at the recent annual convention Of the Northwest Mining Associ- ation in Spokane was the fol- lowing from F. w. Bradley, president of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan, Treadwell Yukon, Alaska-Juneau and other great mining enterprises. MT. Brad ley said:
 You should urge promised international economic confer ence be held as soon as possible to consider using silver at some agreed-upon ratio to gold in order to stimulate commodity prices and to improve relations between debtors and creditors.
 Statistics and experience should indicate ratio between gold and silver to which all in- telligent nations could sub- scribe on the basis that more hard money itself in some countries and in the nature of gold and silver warehouse cer- tificates in other countries would be wiser than green backs or than a continuing out pouring of interest bearing. bonds. Such an increase of hard money should increase az ricultural and other commodity prices and at the same time be helpful in readjusting relations between debtors and credit ors."

ASSESSMENT WORK
 FOR 1883 SUSPENDED

Final passage by Congress of the Smith bill, providing for the suspension of annual ass esSment work on mining claims during the year ending July 1, 1883, was announced in radio broadcasts early this week. The measure applies to Alaska as we'll as other sections of the United States, hence Alaska claim owners are relieved of the performance of their an- nual labor for the 1932-1933 assessment year.
 The suspension act is said to have had strong endorsement by Idaho, Colorado, Montana and California mining interests but was not gerenally favored in Alaska on the ground that labor suspension would con tribute to unemployment, as the performance of assessment work provides employment for much labor in the Territory.
 Representative Addison T. Smith of Idaho was the author of the bill.

DECLARES BIMETALLISM
 ONLY SAVIOR FOR U. s.

Commenting on the present world situation and the out look for recovery, the Wallace, Idaho, ress-Times, one of the few outspoken newspapers in the country, says:
 With the addition of South Africa 33 nations, led by the British Empire, have been forced to abandon the gold standard.
 "The United States and France are now the only two nations worthy of note which continue to hold the bag for the former gold standard count ries. The devaluation of the foreign exchanges give these nations off the gold standard an advantage of IS to 50 per cent in the exchange settle ments.
 Our country is being flood ed with foreign made goods in spite of the tariff. The gigan- tic and worldwide failure of the gold standard, of which the evidence is overwhelm n g, should, it would seem, make some impression upon our fl nancial, industrial and polite al nitWits who still cling stup- idly and obstinately to tke single gold standard and refuse to even consider the necessity for return to bimetallisn1. The longer the nation is al lowed to drift, the greater be- comes the volume of distress, unemployment, bankruptcy and ruin. Notwithstanding various statements to the con- trary the bottom has not yet been reached; no improvement in any general industry worthy of the name is in evidence. The so-called leaders and prophets are still, in the language of the vernacular, talking through their hats" Bimetallism will come. It must come if the country is to be saved from un- iversal bankruptcy, anarchy and ruin. There are, undoubt- edly, sufficient brains, integri- ty and courage to cut this Cor dian knot. That these will not function is to doubt the per petuity of modern civilization. The only question is how much loss, damage, suffering and de- struction the people can or will endure before bimetallism is accomplished.

STEWART MAN MEETS
 DEATH IN FLAMES

MlcHdSI MiChey Ndoll, miner and widely known old timer of the district, was burned to death in fire which broke out in his cabin in Stew art shortly before 8 o'clock Thursday morning. Nash's dog was also a victim of the flames, his fire-seared body being found beside that of his master on the latter's bed when the flames were subdued by the Stewart fire department about S:30 a. m.
 From the evidence given at a coroner's inquest held Friday afternoon 1t appears that Nash arose shortly before eight and started fire in the stove. He then laid down on the bed and apparently fell asleep. The fire continued burning un- checked, with the result that the stovepipe became overheat- ed and ignited the adjacent wall and ceiling, which were lined with tar paper.
 The interior of the structure was badly scorched in the re- sultant blaze.
 The fire was discovered by Edward Lawrence Casey, who saw smoke issuing from the cabin and attempted to enter. He found the door bolted on the inside and at once realized that Nash must be in the burn ing structure. His efforts to obtain ingress by the windows were blocked by smoke and flame. He then attempted to quench the flames by shovel ing snow into a rear window. Others arriving at the scene as sisted in the task until the ar rival of the fire department about S:15 a. m., when the flames were speedily exiting uished with chemicals.
 The fire fighters then cut away the side of the building next to Nash's bed, on which lay the body of the unfortunate miner and that of his dog. A Ii file was also found on the bed but both barrel and magazine were empty and it is believed that the weapon fell from a nail or hook on the wall over the bed. The body of Nash disclosed no evidence of injury other than by the flames, the head, arms and shoulders be- ing badly burned.
 Dr. James Robinson of Pre- micr, who conducted the med ical examination, expressed the opinion that Nash had been rendered unconscious by the dense smoke from the tar pap CT but that his death was due to the burns received.
 The verdict of the jury ex- pressed the opinion that the de ceased came to his death by It. ing severely burned during the fire, which was apparently
