CHAPTER XIV

N44A6 Ac4b nv
Ma never did realize that
she'd been chosen to play at
the school entertainments be-
cause she was a pretty little
girl who could be counted on
to wear a frilly white dress and
look we'll, even If she didn't
sound so well, on the platform.
And why did she get the solo
parts in dancing school? Be
cause she was a young Paw
Iowa like Ma and Aunt Willie
thought? No! Because she had
a certain superficial cleverness
that helped her to bluff through
the steps she didn't have just
right, and because Ma was one
of the few mothers the teacher
could count on to get new and
expensive costumes for the new
dances.
Same with her part in the
senior play at high school. She
was leading LADY, because she
was popular and pretty, and
the executive board pulled for
her, that was all.
For that matter, she wasn't
SO terribly pretty. Lots Of girls
were prettier than she, but they
didn't know how to fix them
selves up. She had always
known. Even when she was
too little to comb her own hair,
she'd fuss with it after Ma got
through, until she arranged it
more becomingly.
Yes, and then she'd walked
up to the realization of how
selfish she'd been love had
done that for her, had made
her soft enough to see it. But
it hadn't made her smart
enough to see that she'd never
be Mrs. James Todd, jr. Shed
thought that love would bridge
the social gap between them,
that he'd care enough to make
her his wife whether his family
liked it or not.
Well, he'd showed her. Shed
lived and learned.
She knew now that that was
just a fairy tale. She knew that
she was just one Of millions, just
a pretty girl. without any par
ticular talent, or brains, or
education, or social background.
What she got, she'd have to
fight for.
If she didn't struggle she'd be
like a million other plodding

The trouble was, the folks

ALASKA'S GOLDEN
 HARVEST.

Great news comes from the goIdfelds of Alaska cheering news of a banner output this year.
 Recent dispatches stated the yellow metal shipped from the Territory in Octo- Der totaled $3,268, ,000 as compared to $1,919,000 for the same month last year. November shipments soon will be completed, thus rounding out the bulk of the 1885 shipments.
 All productive months this year have witnessed decided increases over those of last year.
 Under the incentive of the higher price of gold, numerous new dredging, dragline, hydraulic and in- dividual placer operations have been under way this season. Hard rock proper ties are stepping up their yield and the number of producers steadily increas- eS.
 The new price of gold doubled the width of the paystreak in Alaska. That meant doubling or multi plying the life of gold pro- perties in Alaska.
 Nothing could hurt Alas ka as much as setting the price of gold back to the old figures of $20.67 an oz. Such action would paralyze Alaska, closing down num- erous operations and throw ing an army of men out of work.

 In Favor Bonus
 Nye stated that both houses of congress were ov erWhelmingly in favor of paylng the SOldIefS bonus at the next session. Some of the congressman thought the session would be wound up quickly, and many oth- CTS thought that it might be long and drawn out.
 The leaders agreed that the new commonwealth gov ernment in the islands fac es problems of finance, and national defense, but most of them were optimistic of the ultimate success of the venture. Vice President Garner refused to comment on political affairs.

program of increasing the price of gold to $41.34, or double the old price were put into effect, gold mining in Alaska again would be vastly augmented. How ever, as it is,numerous new dredges and other equip ment have been installed, and Alaska is indeed enjoy ing golden days.
 Fairbanks, as the golden heart of the interior of AL aska, is the major producer and has many years aSsur- ed life for her mines. Her hard rock as well as her pIacers will engage the at- tention of many for long years to come.
 Nome has enjoyed a bet ter season in gold mining this year than any time since her rush days.
 Numerous other placer fields have similar eXper- fences to report. The old Klondike is in the same cat egory, installing new dredg es and preparing to open up ground long considered too low grade to be worth while.
 Such is the epic story of gold throughout the North land today. With all this golden return today and promise of a large return for years to come Alaska's future glows bright, but it will be far brighter if the prospector be provided many urgent needs and his number increased through out the land.
 It will pay Uncle Sam inn mensely to do all possible to maintain and increase

DIRkSEN WILL SEEK
D. C. LIQUOR CHANGES
Plans to Introduce Bill Permit
ting Sale Until 2 Am. on
Sundays.

Representative Dirksen. Republican,
of Illinois, announced yesterday he
proposes to introduce at the next ses-
sion of Congress bill to liberalize the
Districts liquor law so Saturday night
drinkers will have a little more free
DOM"
He said he is opposed to the IL
o'clock deadline on the sale of liquor
Saturday nights at restaurants, night
clubs and other places having on-sale
licenses. His bill would authorize the
sale until am. Sunday.
Dirksen, a member OF the House
District Committee, sponsored at the
last session of Congress legislation
which permitted the so-called hidden
bars" to come into the open.
I'VE are trying % make Washing
ton a more livable city," Dirksen de-
clared. "a IL o'clock limit for serving
drinks on Saturday night is perhaps
all right in Western cities where ac-
tivities begin early in the evening,
but in Washington, where people do
not begin to go out until or 10 pm,
midnight dealine works a distinct
hardship on pleasure e-seekers."
