O. O. HEMMING MAKES
VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS
(Continued from page 1)
the planners; accomplish the
most, but wear themselves out
quicker, and so what's the use?
Well, if I cannot hear by letter I
am, nevertheless, not without news
of Skagway as long as I have The
Daily Alaskan, and as a dispenser
of daily doings it seems to improve
with every issue.
What a wonderful year this lias
been for the 'Gate City,' despite the
fact that Seward got the govern
ment railroad. Do you know I was
loosing'for another exodus from
Skogwiky (though in less propor
tion) like there was when the
White Pass railroad was finished.
Of course, had I stopped to think.
I would have seen 'that tho people
who left'at that time, went to look
for employment to replace their
railroad building Jobs, a majority
of thon being 'floatore' who sel
dom stayed long auywhere, while
boua fide Skagwayltes are as a rule
too busy storing up in 'their own
honey calls to think of migrating to
other dells, no matter how bright
the flowers look in tho distauce. In
stead, they have gotten 'busy in
taking care of the tourists and
other travelers who have either
been barred from Europe by the
war or routed themselves 'Up there
when tno fairs ana convBuuuns
brought them to the coast. Inci
dentally, I cannot help thinking
that to the movies are due a share
of the credit for the advertising
they did throughout tho country
tho last year or two. And that
leads to the 'subject of judicious
publicity, and what a great lielj) it
is in this 'connection,
I used to make tho city directory
of Hot Springs, Arkansas, and found
that tho business men there 'were
soendlng 1 huge sums iu elaborate
schemes for the systematic ad
vertising of their town. In con
cert with the great trunk lines of
railroads they spent -thousands
every year In good, well framed
pictures of Hot Springs scenery, etc.
They used to take one or two big
railway systems a year, and' adorn
their depots and station houses with
theso fine lithographs. I presume
you have seen them many times in
your trips. And they had a man
from"New York who went to the
Springs over}- other year and issued
a pictorial guide. They all pa
tronized that liberally until they
fouud he was lying about his cir
culation, then they contracted with
me to preface the next issue of my
directory with an illustrated "write
up," and the big hotels and others
bought a quantity of them for out
side circulation. Anyway, they-al
ways spent so much each year -in
substantial advertising and of
course found it paid.
What I now suggest is that Skag
way take a leaf out of Hot Springs'
book, and do some general publicity
every winter. There are glaciers,
trips 'to summit, etc., which could
bo turned to good account in this
way. ■ The business men could each
undertake to furnish, so many real
addresses and during the winter
months turn their idle time to some
nlan of this sort, i know Irom ex
perience they would reap a good
harvest in the returns the follow
ing summer. The motion-picture
Is fine, if it is supplemented with
some descriptive matter for folks
to teike home with them. • If you
had seen "the open mouths that I
have seen where I have exhibited
the horticultural show photographs,
you would have a clearer idea of
the real interest people take in the
"last frontier." The old Klondyke
yarns of'hardship aud suffering
seem to still appeal to them, but
they need something 'additional to
increase their usefulness for pub
licity purposes.
Yours faithfully,
C. D. HEMMING.

On the Horns of
a Dilemma
| He Was Obliged to Sit Be* |
tween Them.
By F. A. MITCHEL
It Is supposed that all marriages
among rich persons aro marriages of
convenience and without love. That
Is not the case. Miss Anita De Roode
and I are lovers; we are rich, and 1 ex
pect to marry her. I mipilt that there
has yet been no formal engagement
That Is because Miss De Roode has not
made up her mind. Whether her
hesitation comes from a dcmbt that eho
loves me well enough to marry mo or
whether she Is looking for a man -of
prominence as well as wealth I don't
know, for she has not told me.
I went to Lenox yesterday, where
Miss De Roode lives, and begged her
to give mo n final answer. The spring
Is on, nnd spring Is the season for love.
We walked out In the spacious grounds
surrounding the De Roode mansion, and
so fragrant was the air, so entrancing
the lances of sunlight piercing tho
branches on which the leaves were
sprouting, so delicious were the songa
of the birds, that It seemed to me if
she loved me she could not help re
sponding to my Impassioned words.
Nevertheless I returned to the city
disappointed. I was not refused. I was
still held In doubt. Anita admitted
that she preferred me to any other man
and did not tell me that her feeling for
me was not love. But she would not
promise to marry me. 1 suppose I must
possess my soul In patience. If I were
poor or not even very rich I would con
sider myself dismissed, but there are
nowadays so few of us millionaire
bachelors who have anything except
our wealth to recommend us that
when a passably refined chap like my
self asks a girl to marry him she at
least hesitates before turning him
down.
I had a letter from Chesborough this
morning—Chesborough Is In Rome—
about a man be mot tbere who Is com
ing to New York; second eon or some
thing like that of an earl, with an
elder brother dying of a lingering dis
ease. Chesborough has given the fel
low a letter of introduction to me and
wants me to put him Into my set I
don't seo how 1 am to do so without
letting it be known that he Is a noblo
mnn. and Chesborough says that he
wishes to remain Incog. Doesn't want
to be fawned on. I suppose.
• ••»•••
Ches borough's friend, Chichester,
called at the club today and Inquired
for me. I was there, as I usually am,
after 4 p. m., and put him up with a
visitor's ticket for two weeks. I hope
he'll do the same for me when I go to
London, but the Londoner has a con
venience in his club In a house rule
that no stranger is to be received.
However, Chichester seems to be a
good fellow, and I am fond of Ches
borough and glad to oblige him.
Chichester says bo doesn't care to
know many people, only a few of my
intimate friends. He positively de
clines to bo introduced as anything but
a plain English gentleman of the mid
dle class. I have taken him with me
to the Ashtons and the Spencers and
have arranged for a week end at
Lenox with the De Roodes. Ho tells
me that the incomo bis father allows
him is not sufficient to return favors
from multimillionaires, and this is the
reason for his incog.
»#•«•••
Just returned from the De Iloodes,
having left Chichester there to con
tinue his visit for a few days. Anita
seems much pleased with him.
• ••••••
Three weeks have passed since Chi
chester came to New York and I intro
duced him to Anita. He has passed
the principal part of that time at
Lenox What it means I can't imagine
unless he has admitted to Anita his
Identity. 1 could nsk hiin If he has
done so, or I could ask the question of
her. But I shall ask neither. If they
wish to make a match they will not
find me a dog in the manger.
• »«••••
What I hare been looking for has
happened. Received a note this morn
ing from Anita announcing her engage
ment with Chichester. She doesn't say
that she prefers him to me or me to
him. Of course he has told her that he
Is very near an earldom, and she ex
pects me to understand that Is the rea
son why he has supplanted me without
her saying so. It is certainly a very
good and practical reason, and I have
no protest to make.
I had scarcely read the letter when
in came Chichester for my congratu
lations. I managed to give them, af
fecting some warmth, but it certainly
was difficult He expressed himself In
debted to me for life that I had Intro
duced him to so admirable a woman.
Then a troubled expression came over
his face when he said:
"But how am I to bear the expenses
attending on engagement with one
whose position In the American social
world Is so exalted? My income Is to
tally inadequate."
I believed that when his brother died
he would have all the money be need
ed and could repay a loan, but of course
I couldn't say so. I simply told him
that it wouldn't trouble me at all to let
him have 'What ho needed. He grasped
my hand with fervor and swore that if
it were fnted that he shotild coroe to 1
tho family title he would see that any
thing I wanted In England should be j
mine. He further stated that his liancee j
was aware of his Unant'iul couditiou
and had proposed that their engage
ment be not regularly announced until
Shortly before their marriage. After I
the wedding tbe bride would Ly» liberal
u^itll such time as he succeeded to the '
title, which, If he lived long enough, j
he regarded as a certainty. To which I :
replied that in the meantime I would
furnish funds which it would not be
proper for (he lady to furnish or for
him to accept from her.
• ••••♦» 11
I have Just come from a visit to
Anita. She sent for me, she said, to as
sure herself that I placed no blamo
upon her. She could not put on p;i|«r
what she could say verbally. Of course
I must understand that marriage ]
among us who are lifted by our posses-1
slons so far above ordinary persons!
must always be a matter for serious
consideration. The prizes our wealth
places within ouf grasp are not to be de-,
splsed. Among tho lofty and powerful
the choice of a partner for life has al-1
ways been circumscribed and usually a
matter decided by the parents of the
contracting partio?.
X told her that she would be very
unwise not to seize upon any such
prize as came within her reach and
that there was no blame whatever at
tached to giving lip one whom she had
never even accepted. Notwithstanding
the practical view sbe took of the mat
ter. she appeared a tritle disappointed
that I did not show more grief at los
Ing her.
"I have no doubt," she said In con- j
elusion, "that you will find one much
more worthy of you and one who will:
make you far happier than I."
"I shall find no one with either of
theso elements," X replied. "But 1
shall bear my lo<s without adding to:
your embarrassment-'*
• «•«••• j
A month has passed since I parted
with Anita. She came to New Vork I
yesterday and wrote 1110 a note desir-l
Ing me to cull upon her. 1 went to |
see her and fouud her In an uncoml'ort- ]
able state of mind. She did not tell j
mo at once what troubled her, but be- j
gan to ask me a lot of questions.
"How did you become acquainted j
with Mr. Chichester?"'
"My friend Chesborougb wrote inc'
from Iiomc concerning him."
"Did you take palna to learn whcthei |
or no he was what he purported to :
be?-'
1>0; 1 IUUU ^HOUUlUUfcUO ivi
It. I did not nml do not now doubt
that he Is the second son of an earl, j
the heir to the title having one foot in
the grave."
"I hare learned Uiat the title is anj
empty one, tiie oari being without j
enough Income for himself, without |
granting one to a younger son. Where
do you suppose Mr. Chichester obtain-■
ed the money on which to move in i
our set?"
I was on the horns of n dilemma.
The one horn was a lie: the other was J
the position of one who had done a
rival a favor and had taken advantage;
of the net with the lady in question. I j
avoided failing on either of these horns
In this wise:
"That question," I said, "I do not I
feel called upon to answer. I am not!
Mr. Chichester's financial secretary." |
"You introduced him to nib. And j
now when I am In doubt about hinij
you decline to help nie in a matter
Involving the most important step a
woman can take."
"I Introduced Mr. Chichester without
any expectation that you would tie-;
come engaged to him."
"You mean without expecting that he ■
would supplant you."
To this 1 made 110 reply.
"Why is It," she continued, "that you
men always hang together? I have
no woman friend who would treat a
rival as you have treated Mr. Chiches
ter."
"It is necessary for us men to stand
by one another. We are so faulty that
at any failure to do so we would fall
like a stack of card houses."
"Nonsense! But to return to this
question of where Mr. Chichester got
the money he has been spending so
lavishly. Do you mean to tell me that
you do not know?"
Again I was cornered. I made no
reply.
"You men are queer creatures," she
continued. "If pressed too hnM you
will iie for one another. I will not
push you too far for fear you will do j
so now. It is you who furnished Mr. i
Chichester the means to pose as my
fiance."
There was no need to deny the state-1
ment, for she would not have made it
unless positive of it.
"How did you learn that?" I asked. |
"A cousin of mine is employed in a
bank through which a check of yours
payable to Mr. Chichester passed, lie
saw it and gave me the information."
It was evident that Mr. Chichester's
hope of marrying a fortune in Miss I>e
Roode was gone. My heart beat fast
but 1 maintained my outward equa
nlmity. I looked at the ceiling.
"Ilave you'seen Mr. Chichester IV..?"
ly?" Anita asked.
"Not for several days."
"He has gone to England. You hnve
lost your advances to him."
"I can afford it, fortunately."
"This money was for the support of
my fiance until after our marriage.
Will you permit me to return it?"
"Certainly not"
"In what way can I show my np-1
preclatlon of your generosity, your
magnanimity?"
Her voice trembled as she spoke the
words and she bent her eyes to the
ground. These spoke far more plainly j
to me than her words.
I took her In mv nm<
