Sir Robert so loved Maryland

toward the four-million mark.
The business was at its height in
these winter months, when the
gray rain brought darkness early
into the windowless huts of the
towns and cities. Then the de.
sire for light grew. Men bought
lamps and oil to push back the
evil spirits lurking in the
shadows. Shops bought lamps.
The makers of firecrackers gave
a lamp to each woman and girl
working on the night shift:
when the oil was burned out,
then the stint of labor was done
and the workers might creep
home. The modern schools
bought lamps for their students
boys and girls reading books
from the West, reading the
words of Rousseau and Marx.
Patriarchal families bought
lamps, and by their lights girls
like Shiao Pao read with flushed
cheeks of individualisn and
even of Women's rights.
Black Mirrors
It was spring, the moment

Then at the moment when he
felt that their friendship was
destroyed, a way out occurred to
him. The barriers of their two
ways of thought had erected
themselves so suddenly, that he
had forgotten there was a solu-
ton.
An Impasse
"Ho, my friend!" he cried,
eagerly. II can accept cigars,
cigarettes! And I will accept,
I will accept" But Ho said
nothing; only snorted like a
great porpoise. Then he turned
and went out so hastily that the
skirt of his long gown blew out
behind him.
Stephen was unhappy, unable
to take satisfaction even in the
jade bracelet, his Christmas gift
for Hester, which he felt, a hard
substance, in his pocket. Would
the compromise he had suggest
ed save Hos face sufficiently to
reestablish the relationship?
Nothing, Of course, could heal
the disappointment of Ho over
the ring-or his own disappoint-
ment, for that matter. He would
have liked to own the ring, to
have worn it as a token of Hos
friendship.
That evening, as he went
about his dressing, in prepare
ton for the Christmas party, his
spirit was heavy. He could think
only of the loss of his friend.
Not wishing to talk, he hur-
riedly completed his dressing
and went out, leaving Hester.
Damn the company's ruling"
he said. "Why can't they trust
us to decide for ourselves?"
Then Kin entered, presenting
the card Of Ho, and behind him,
carrying a tray loaded high
with cylindrical boxes of cigar
cites, came the coolie. Behind
him followed the office coolie,
carrying a tray stacked with
boxes Of cigars. Behind him
was the cook with another stack.
And behind him the outside
coolie, with another.
Gravely, Stephen received
these offerings, ordering one Of
the tables to be cleared, so all
could be piled upon it. Then
he gave Kin his card to send to
Ho, and, hastily wrapping
money in the remains of some
red paper Hester had been
using, he told Kin to give it to
Hos servants who had brought
the gifts. Thus carefully did he
keep the custom.
But when Kin had gone he
burst into wild laughter, not at
all like his own laughing,
Creighton, hearing the unaccus-
toned noise from the Chase
apartment, ran up the stairs,
poking his nose in at the door.
''By golly," he exclaimed, ARE
you starting a cigar store? I'll
lend you one of the boys for d

go and see what you've got"
said Stephen. you'll need your
own Red Indian"
He had seen at once what Ho
was about; he had spent for
cigars and cigarettes the amount
of the two beautiful presents
only by spending as much, as
they cost could he free himself
from the implication of squeeze,
only thus could he get back his
face.

REPUBLICAN BLOC PLANS

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Fac- ing a renewed attempt by Repub- licans to get Congress to adjourn August 10 without acting on the Roosevelt tax proposals, Democrats pushed their work on the bill and expressed confidence that it will be enacted this session.
 Two men, prominent in the Re- publican councils, are leading the drive for quick adjournment. They are Senator vandenberg. of Michi- gan, and Senator Hastings of Dela- ware.
 Caustic Statement
 Senator Vandenberg called the tax plan "as grim hoax as ever perpetrated on the country" and demanded consideration of taxes be postponed until next winter when they will be studied in connection with the Budget for the next fiscal year.
 Adjournment Resolution
 Senator Hastings sought to call up for consideration today his reso- lution to adjourn by August 10, be- fore the tax measure can be passed
 Democratic chiefs freely predict ed the resolution will fail and even some Republicans privately agreed
 The Democrats are insisting the tax bill shall be passed now, for two reasons, saying it will show the President is sincere when he advocated the taxes, and second that business is picking up and now is the time to think about a move- ment forward toward paying off the piled up debt. ~

VIC UNLOADS MINE FREIGHT
 THIS MORNING
A. J. Supplies Are Taken Aboard Barge South
 of Marmion Island

Avoiding all possible conflict with the Juneau local of the Interna- ticnal Longshoremen's Association, the steamer Victoria was unloaded of her Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company freight cargo south of Marmion Island at 3 o'clock this morning An Alaska Juneau barge, lowed by the tug Trojan. aided in the freighting.
 The successful transfer of the cargo, held up here for several hours Saturday with 1t being taken on the round-trip to Skagway over the weekend. ended, temporarily at least, another outbreak of mine la Dor disputes, involving waterfront workers as well.
 The Victoria had arrived here Saturday with a load of freight for the mine. The exact tonnage was not announced but it was be- lieved, unofficially, to be small test cargo It was the first freight for the mine to be brought north since the walkout of A. J. employ ees was called on May 22 by the Alaska Mine Workers Union.
 Union Holds Out
 The mine and mill operating with three full shifts, but the Union still maintains a walkout. One of their chief arguments was that the mine. could not obtain supplies from &c., attle, because, it was rumored, mar inc unions would refuse to handleI the cargo.
 That is what happened Saturday. Local ILA men refused to go| through Union picket lines, and' marine union men aboard the Vic toria refused to unload the cargo into the hands of A. J. dock em- ployees.
 However, over the week end, M J. Wilcox, Juneau agent for the AL aska Steamship Company, and L. H. Metzgar, superintendent of the mine firm, completed arrangements for the transfer of the freight in Stephens Passage this morning to an A. J barge
 Authority Limited
 George Cox, delegate of the local ILA organization, told Wilcox Sat urday that his body only had long, shore authority over Gastineau Channel ports. Therefore, it was felt that the unloading in Stephens Passage was acceptable to JuneauI ILA men as 1t was out of their jurisdiction.
 Whether this arrangement will be followed in future mine ship ments is a moot question, with no official statements being made.
 Delegate Cox is travelling now on the Victoria to Seattle. He is be- lieved to be planning an interview with authorities at the District ILA headquarters thers. The Juneau ILA, an unfounded report indicates, ran against District orders when it refused to unload the Victoria Sat- urday.
 A large crowd of pickets patrolled Lower Front Street outside of the mine dock gate early this morning, expecting a repetition of Saturdays performance. However. the ''vic" berthed quietly at Pacific Coast Dock at o'clock. left an hour later for Douglas to load canned salmon, then proceeded southbound to Sit ka and Seattle, leaving the pickets nonplused.
