First of Long List of Sunday Show
Cases Opened at Fort Worth.
By Associated Press.
Fort Worth, July 28.—The first of
the long list of Sunday picture show
opening cases resulted in a victory for
the “movie" men last afternoon, when
a jury acquitted P. C. Levy. He was
arrested together with ten others when
they opened after the enactment of
the recent Sunday show ordinance.

Object to Passage of the Child Labor
Bill.
By Associated Press.
Washington, July 28.—“Everybody
works but father," said Senator Kern,
Democratic leader of the senate, sub-
mitting for publication in the Congres-
sional Record a large number of tele-
grams he received protesting against
the passage of the child labor bill,
“Father of a large family, am op-
posed to child labor bill.”
“I have a young family, dependent
on cotton mill. Defeat the Keating
bill."
These were two of the messages the
senator submitted.
Instead he had selected Denny out ot
the opposing ranks and bored through
the crowd in his direction, heedless of
all efforts to stop him. His great
strength had enabled him to gain
ground. He had hurled his assailants
aside/upsetting them, bursting through
the press as a football player pene-
trates a line, and when the retreat had
begun he was close at the heels of his
victim. He had overtaken Denny be-

SQUADRON AT BRUGES.
German Forces There Have Been
Strengthened Largely.
By Associated Press.
Amsterdam, July 28.—The German
naval squadron at the Belgian port of
Bruges has been considerably strength-
ened in recent weeks, according to the
Amsterdam Telegraaf, and now com-
prises at least twenty-two torpedo
boats and torpedo destroyers, including
many of a new type with three fun-
nels. Torpedo boats have frequently
passed through the canals of Belgium,
while dismounted boats are said to have
been transported from Germany by that
route.
"rm worse,” he confessed. “I’ve
just been shot through the heart. Slow
music and flowers for me! Arrange for
the services and put a rose in my hand,
sis,”
“Nonsense! I’ll put a beefsteak on'
your eye,” she told him unfeelingly.
Under Dr. Gray’s attention O'Neil’s
ankle began to mend, and by the time
the track had been laid far enough be-
yond the crossing to insure against
further interference from Gordon be
declared himself ready to complete the
journey to Kyak, which he and the
girls had begun three weeks before.
During the interval Eliza had occu-
pied herself in laying out her maga-
zine stories, and now she was eager
to complete her investigations so as
to begin the final writing. Her experi-
ence in the north thus far had given
her an altered outlook upon the rail-
road situation, but as yet she knew lit-
tle of the coal problem. That, after
all, was the more important subject,
and she expected it to afford her the
basis for. a sensational exposure. She
had come to Alaska sharing her news-
paper’s views upon questions of public
policy, looking upon Murray O’Neil as .
a daring promoter bent upon seizing
the means of transportation of a
mighty realm for his own individual
profit, upon Gordon as an unscrupu-
lous adventurer and upon the copper
trust as a greedy corporation reaching
out to strangle competition and absorb
the riches of the northland. But she
had found O’Neil an honorably ambi-
tious man, busied, like others, in the
struggle for success and backing his
judgment with his last dollar. She had
learped, moreover, to sympathize with
his aims, and his splendid determina-
tion awoke her admiration. Her idea
of the tryst had changed, likewise,
for it seemed to be a fair and dignified
competitor. She had seen no signs of
that conscienceless. grasping policy
usually imputed to btg business. In
regard to Gordon alone her first con-
viction had remained unchanged. He
was as evil as he had been reputed.
The readjustment of her ideas had
been disappointing in a way, since it
robbed her of a large part of her am-
munition, but she consoled herself with
the thought that she had not yet reach-
ed the big, vital story which most deep-
ly concerned the welfare of the north.

somewhere out in the storm. A wilder
day would be hard to imagine; a hurri-
cane was raging, the rain was whirled
ahead of it like charges of shot. The
mountains behind Kyak were invisible
and to seaward was nothing but a dim-
ly discernible smother of foam and
spray, for the crests of the breakers
were snatched up and carried by the
wind. The town was sodden; the
streets were running mud, Stovevires

side one of the barricades just as
Denny seized a rifle and raised it.
With one wrench he possessed him-
self of the weapon, and the next in-
stant he had bent the barrel over its
owner's head,
Then as the fight surged onward he
had gathered the limp figure in his
arms and borne it into the light of a
gasoline torch, where he could admin-
ister first aid. He was kneeling over
the fellow when Appleton found him
as he came stumbling along the grade.
But the decisive moment had come
and gone now, and without a leafier to
command them Gordon’s men seemed
loath to adopt a more bloody reprisal.
They gave way therefor© in a half
hearted hesitation that spilled ruin to
their cause. They were forced back to
their encampment.
Dan Appleton, very dirty, very tired,
but happy, found Natalie and Eliza
awaiting him when helimped up to
their tent in the early morning light,
One of his eyes was black and nearly
closed, his lips were cut and swollen,
but he grinned cheerfully as he ex-
claimed:
“Say! It was a great night, wasn’t
it?”
Eliza cried out in alarm at his ap-
pearance.
' “Yoh poor kid! You’re a sight.” She
ran for hot water and soap, while Na-
talie said warmly:
“You were perfectly splendid, Dan.
I knew you’d do it.”
“Did you?” He tried to smile his
appreciation, but the effort resulted in
a leer so repulsive that the girl looked
Dlzed the world’s greatest copper sup-
ply and had doubled cinched it by
monopolizing transportation also. That
started the fuss. They needed cheap
coal, of course, just as everybody else
needs it, but somebody discovered the
danger of a monopoly of that and set
up another shout. Ever since then the
yellow press has been screaming. The
government withdrew all coal lands
from entry, and it now refuses to
grant patents to that which had been
properly located. We don’t own a
foot of Alaskan coal land, Miss Apple-
ton. On the contrary, we haul our
fuel from British Columbia, just like
O’Neil and Gordon, Thse who would
like to sell local coal to us are pre-
vented from doing so.”
“It sounds well to hear you tell it,”
said Eliza. “But the minute the coal
patents are issued you will buy what
you want, then freeze out the other
people, You expect to control the.
mines. the railroads and the steamship
lines. but public necessities like coal
and oil and timber and water power
should belong to the people. There
has been an awakening of the public
conscience, and the day of monopolized
necessities is passing.”
"As long as mep own coal mines they
will sell them. Here we are faced not
by a question of what may happen,
but of what has happened. If yov
agreed to buy a city lot from a real
estate dealer and after you paid him
his price he refused to give you a
deed, you'd at least expect your money
back. wouldn’t you? Well, that’s the
case of Uncle Sam and the Alaskan
miners. He not only refuses to deliv-
er the lot. but keeps the money and
forces ihem to pay more every year.
I represent a body of rich men who.
because of their power, are regarded
with suspicion, but if they did any-
thing so dishonest as what our govern-
ment has done to its own people they
would be jailed.”
When O’Neil and Natalie returned
’they found the two still arguing.
“Haven’t you finished your tiresome
discussions?" asked Natalie.
“Mr. Trevor has almost convinced
me that the octopus is a noble creature,
filled with high ideals and writhing at
the thrusts of the muckrakers.” Eliza
told them.

Don’t put a mortgage on your judgment
in buying a car.
There’s many a man in this county who
paid too low a price for his car—and lived
to regret the day.
I am not saying anything against low-
priced cars. There are a number of good
ones. They do the job well.
I am trying to get people to get a bird’s-
eye view of the motor car situation instead
of a worm’s-eye view.
Sometimes by paying a hundred or two
hundred more you get $500 extra value.
I refer now to the 1917 3400 r. p. m.
Chalmers. Here’s a car that has been run
more than 1,000,000 miles in the hands
of owners, yet attained a service record of
99.21% perfect.
That is the mark of a great car. And
though it costs, possibly, a little more than
you ever paid for a car before—remember
that extra little sum gets you from the zone
of a fair car to the zone of a great car.
It is not only money in your pocket in
the long run, but pride everywhere you
drive. There’s a pleasant and interesting
satisfaction in driving a regular car.

“Honestly?”
“Did you think we could stay be-
hind? We sneaked along with the
cookhouse gang, and one of them help-
ed us up on the gravel cars. He smell-
ed of dishwater, but he was a hero.
We screamed and cried and Eliza
threw stones until Mr. O’Neil discover-
ed us and made us get down. He was
awfully mean.”
“He’s a mean man.”
“He isn’t! He was jumping around
on one leg/like a crippled grasshopper.”
“I made a thousand dollars,” said
Dan. “Guess what I’m going to do
with it?” *
“How can I guess?”
“I’m going to buy an engagement
ring.” Once more he leered repul-
sively.
“How nice!” said Natalie coolly.
“Congratulations!"
“Guess who it’s for?”
“I couldn’t, really.”
“It’s for you.”
'“Oh, no, it isn’t!” Natalie’s voice
was freezing. “You have made a mis-
take, a very great mistake, Dan. I like
you, but—we won’t even.mention such
things, if you please.”
Eliza’s entrance saved her further
embarrassment and she quickly made
her escape. Dan groaned so deeply as
his sister bathed his injuries that she
was really concerned.
“Goodness, Danny,” she said. “Are
you as badly hurt as all that?”
Former Villa Chieftain Surrendered
With Band South of Torreon.
By Associated Press.
Chihuahua, July 28.—J .Gonzales, for-
merly a colonel in Villa’s army, who
recently surrendered with his hand
south of Torreon, was granted amnesty
by Gen. Trevino. He left immediately
for San Luis Potosi, where he has
promised to recruit at least 150 men of
his old command for the army of Gen.
Jose Isabel Robles.

mire, and the board houses were shak-
ing as if they might fly to pieces at any
moment. The darkness was uncanny,
and the tempest seemed to be steadily
growing in violence.
When an hour or two had passed
with no word from the men Eliza an-
nounced her intention of looking them
up. She had spent the time at a win-
dow, straining her eyes through the
welter. while Natalie had curled up
cozily with a book in one of Trevor’s
armchairs.
“But, dearie, you’ll be drenched.”
Natalie looked up in surprise. “Mr.
O’Neil is all right.”
“Of course he is. I'm not going out
to scold him and bring him in. I want
to look at the storm."
“So do I, but it won’t do any good. I
can’t make it blow any harder by get-
ting my feet wet."
“You read your novel and talk to
Mr. Trevor when he comes back. He
knows we’re to blame for this storm,
so you must be nice to him. I can’t."
She clad herself in raincoat, sou’wester
and boots and hurried out. Walking
was difficult enough, even in the
shelter of the village, but not until
she had emerged upon the lach did
she meet the full strength of the gale
Here it wrapped her garments about
her limbs until she could scarcely
move. The rain came horizontally and
blinded her. The wind fairly snatched
her breath away and oppressed her
lungs like a heavy weight. She shield-
ed herself as best she could, and by
clinging to stationary objects and
watching her chance she managed to
work her way onward. At last she
caught sight of O’Neil standing high
above the surf, facing the wind defl
antly, as if daring it to unfoot him.
He saw her- and came in answer to
her signal. But to breast that wind
was like stemming a rushing torrent,
and when he reached her side he was
panting.
“Child, what are you doing here?"
he demanded.
“I couldn’t wait any longer!” she
shouted back. “You’ve been out since
daylight, You must be wet through." •
He nodded. “I lay awake all night
listening. So did Trevor. He’s begin-
ning to worry already.”
“Already? If the breakwater stands
this”—
■ “The storm hasn’t half started.
Come! We’ll watch it together.” He
took her hand, and they lunged into
the gale, battling their way back to
his point of vantage. He paused at
length and. with his arm about her.

The village of Kyak lay near the
mouth of the most easterly outlet of
the Salmon, and it was similar in most
respects to Hope and to Omar, save
that it looked out across a shallow,
unprotected bay to the open reaches of
the north Pacific. The shores were
low; a pair of rocky islets afforded the
only shelter to ts shipping, and it was
from these as a starting point that the
copper trust had built its breakwater,

ed the work with the mainland, and

their burdens to the strength of the
barrier. Protected by this arm of steel
and stone and timber lay the terminal
buildings of the Alaska Northern, as
the Heidlemann line was called, and
there also lay the terminus of the old
McDermott enterprise into which Cur-
tis Gordon had infused new life. Both
places showed plenty of activity when
O’Neil and his two. companions arriv-
ed late one afternoon.
Kyak they found was inferior to
Omar in its public accommodations,
and Murray was at a loss to find shel-
ter for the girls until his arrival was
made known to the agents of the Alas-
ka Northern, Then Mr. Trevor, the
engineer in charge, looked him up and
insisted upon sharing his quarters with
the visitors. In Trevor's bearing was
no suggestion of an enmity like Gor
don’s. He welcomed his rival warmly
After dinner O’Neil took Natalie
t to see the sights, while Eliza prof
ited by the opportunity to interview
Trevor. In her numerous tilts with
O’Neil she had not been oversuccess-
ful from the point of view of her mag-
azine articles, but here at her hand
was the representative of the power
best known and best hated for its ac-
tivities in the northland, and he seem
ed perfectly willing to talk. Surely
from him she would get information
that would count
“Understand. I’m on the side of,your
enemies,” she warned him.
“So is everybody else,” Mr. Trevor
laughed, “but that’s because we’re mis-
understood."
"The intentions of any trust warrant
suspicion."
He shrugged. "The Heidlemanns
are just ordinary business men, like
O’Neil, looking for investment They
heard of a great big copper field bid
den away back yonder in the moun-
tains, and they bought what they con-
sidered to be the best group of claims.
They knew the region was difficult of
access, but they figured that a railroad
from tidewater would open up not only
their own properties, but the rest of
the copper belt and the whole interior
country. They began to build a road
from Cortez, when some ‘shoo stringer’
raised the cry that they had monep

tiny pebbies from the beach were fy,8
ing with the salt raindrops- Her musN
cles began to tremble from the con-T
stant effort at resistance, and she was 3
relieved when Murray looked about for I
a place of refuge. She pointed to a pile I
of bridge timbers, but he shook his head J
“They’ll go flying if this keeps up.’W
He dragged her into the shelter of a 1
little knoll,. Here the blasts struck I
them with diminished force, the roar- I
ing in their ears grew less, and the la-
bor of breathing was easier. . •
High up beyond reach of the surf 4
dory had been draggedeand left bottom I
up. Under this the wind found a fin- fl
ger hold and sent it flying.
Even where the man and the woman •
crouched the wind harried them lik”
a hound pack, but by clinging to the
branches of a gaarled juniper bush
they held their position and let the
spray whine over their heads.
“Farther west I’ve seen houses chain^j
ed to the earth with ships’ cables,” he
shouted in her ear. “To think of j
building a harbor in a place like this!”®
“I prayed for you last night. I pray-®
ed for the wind to come.” said the girlE
after a time. a
O’Neil looked at her, curiously star’
tied; then he looked out at the sea®
once more. All in a moment he real- S
ized that Eliza was beautiful and that®
she had a heart. It seemed wonder- l
ful that she should be interested inb
his fortunes. He was a lonely man/ i
Beneath his open friendliness lay a |
deep reserve. A curiously warm feel- I
iug of gratitude flamed through him ]
now, and he silently blessed her for j
bearing him company in the deciding^
hour of his life. 492
Noon came, and still the two crouch
ed in their half shelter, drenched, chill*
ed, stiff with exposure, watching Kyak 4
bay lash itself into a boiling smoth-J
er. The light grew dim; night was M
settling. The air seemed full of
screaming furies. Then O’Neil noticed 1
bits of driftwood racing in upon the I
billows, and he rose with a loud cry.
“It’s breaking up!” he shouted. “It’s®
breaking up!” i )
Eliza lifted herself and clung to him, fl
but she could see nothing except a *
misty confusion. In a few moments
the flotsam came thicker. Splintered
piling, huge square hewn timbers with #
fragments of twisted iron or broken
bolts came floating into sight. A con- 4
fusion of wreckage began to clutter j
the shre, and into it the sea churned. 1
The spindrift tore asunder at length,
and the watchers caught a brief®
glimpse of the tumbling ocean. Tini
breakwater was gone. Over the plac
where it had stood the billows raced
unhindered. 522
“Poor Trevor!” said O’Neil. "Po82
Trevor! He did his best, but he didn’t®
