ENTHUSIASTIC
Atlin, B. C., Aug. 7th, 1915
There was a very enthusiastic
meerln* ju Atlin last night for tho
purpose of expressing the sentiment
of the people en th subject ot the
greiit war. The new autos brought
down quite a few from Discoveiry,
although there was hardly any from
the placer creeks.
A resolution was passed to con
tinue tho war until Prussian mili
tarism was forever crushed with
men and money—tig long as we
have any—or words to that effect.
Then a young man from Dis
covery, who Is interested in mines,
romarkt*l that talk was cheap, but
It took money to bujr practical
things these times and said that a
few in Discovery had suggested buy
in<i one oJ those high speed, high
Power, unlimited, spiteful creations,
called Quickfirers as a donation to
B. C. boys at the front. They had
raised $450 thero by subscription
before leaving far Atlin and said
they thought it might be a good
thing to send a Quickfirer and the
resolutions to the proper authori
ties to show that we mean business.
It wag the sentiment of the
meeting that the gun should go to
some B. C. regiment—though Lyme
Hodge thought It should go where j
it was most needed—wklck brought
the remark that Russia was sup-1
posed to be rather short on guns
at this time. Russia has our sym
pathy , but some B. C. company will
set tae gun.
A naner was then drawn up and
those present were asked to sign
lor whatever amount they jolt dis
posed to give. In about fifteen
minutes there was about $500 more
added to the gun fund.
As only the few jvlio happend to
be i resent had the opportunity to
give and the alnount needed for
one gun was already raised, it is
concoded that there will be a sec
ond gun. fund, in order to givo the
meu on the various creeks a chance
to subscribe, who, for various rea- |
sons could not be present.
If the whole of Canada does as
well as the few men are doing here
pep capita, those who furnish the
ammunition will have no time for
rtll.'rg cigarettes.
In les3 than twenty four hours
Trom the time a machine gun was
«rs; mentioned, there was over
$1,200 raised and all ol. the out
side precincts (creeks) to hoar
from.
It was a most enthusiastic meet
lug and the Patriotic Spirit .was the
only one in evidence, a vote of
thanks was given the Discovery del
egation, the National Anthem was
sung, and the meeting adjourned in
high suirJts.
Yesterday morning nine Slavon
ians lelt Atlin for tho frojit. They
wish to shake hands with the
kaiser" and hand-cuff him.

His Fiancee
He Had Intended to
Be a Father to
to Her.
By ESTHER VANDERVEER ?
"I may not see you again for years.
Will you be true to me?"
"Bather ask yourself whether you
will be truo to me. You are ut an nge
when a man's fancy Is liable to great
changes."
"I shall not change in my feelings to
ward you."
"Wo shall see. Now, come and kiss
baby; then you must bo off."
Hugh Edgerton, twenty years old,
had become enamored of n young wid
ow, Mrs. Clara Pomeroy, two years his
senior, with a child, a girl In her third
year. lie had been offered a position
In a banking house in Hongkong, Chi
na, and was about to proceed there.
Full of the hope of youth, ho was in
tent upon making a fortune and return
ing to spend what remained to him of
life with Clara Pomeroy for his wife.
He followed her luto an adjoining
room where the child lay asleep lu her I
crib. Bending down, he kissed her.
"Dear little thing!'' ho said. "When
I return I will be a father to her."
Ho took the child's hand in Ills, and
so soft, so dear was it that he could
hardly bear to release it, but the moth
er admonished him that his time was
limited, and drew him away.
"Goodby," she said; "whatever is in
store for you and me in the future"—
"And baby."
"Yes, and baby. 1 will say this, you
are a lino fellow aud deserving of a
good wife."
It seemed to Edgerton that tho kiss i
she gave him lacked the fervor of a
woman deeply In love. But it had
always been so between them. The
widow, though but a few years his se
nior, had a far wider range of ex
perience than he, and a woman of
twenty-two is usually much more ma
ture than a man of twenty. When lie
regretted this lack of fervor she al
ways said to him, "When ten or twen
ty years have passed it will l>e I who
will have cause to reproach you for in
difference."
While on his voyage to China Edger
ton spent the most of his Ohio writ
ing letters to his fiancee. If an anal
ysis of his feelings were possible it
might show more distaste for leaving
home and friends for a foreign land
than love, but no one has yet been
able to isolate love—as they say of
germs—and, after all, our affections are
largely a matter of association. Never
theless Edgerton pined for his widow
and the time when he would be united
with her, and the dear child he had
seen sleeping so peaceful and innocent
in her crib was ever present in his
mind.
Edgerton on arriving in Hongkong
was given a position of some impor
tance, for he had had several years'
experience as a subordinate in busi
ness and was advanced rapidly. But
unfortunately when he reached a status
in which he might begin to occuinulate
the house he was with made somo im
portant losses and wound up their
business. Edgerton joined forces with
others and formed an independent
house. They made money for a time,
but one of the partners proved dis
honest, and after getting him out of it
they had a considerable deficiency to
make up.
Meanwhile Edgerton wrote regularly
to his fiancee and received letters
from her. It was due to her encour
agement that he was able to stand by
what he had undertaken, for when 111 1
luck befell him he was sorely tempted
to give up and go home. He had with I
him a likeness of his fiancee, and,
though the years were passing and J
each year added to lier age, he con-1
tinued to think of her as she had ap
peared when ho parted from her. He I
always referred to her little girl as
"the baby" and forgot that while her
mother had passed the climax of youth
and beauty the daughter was ap
proaching It.
Years passed before Hugh Edgerton
came to a status wherein he could close
out his business iu China and return
to America with the fortuno lie had
set out to win. Indeed, It was due to
a fortunate rise in an article In which
ho had made an investment that at
last enabled him to do so. It waB a
happy day that he announced to Mrs.
Pomeroy that he was independent of
the world and In a few weeks would
return to claim her as his bride.
Sixteen years had passed since Ed
gerton had left his native land. He
had been so engrossed in business that
they did not seem to him more than
six. Nevertheless he realized that there
must be somo change, especially In
"baby." He pictured her as a girl
playing with her doll, but nearing an
age when she would lay it aside. Her
mother doubtless would not have
changed so much. True, she would be
older, but not so very much older. As
to Edgerton himself he was now thir
ty-six, an age wherein a man Is sup
posed to bo in his prime, nis associ
ations with women in China had been
thus far with those who had not yet
passed out of young ladyhood. Indeed
the mothers of some of his women
friends were but little older than he.
One young woman of nineteen, an
L English Rirl, was hoping to win him
m
when nho wns disappointed by the an
nouncement that he was about to re
turn to America.
The return voyage «oemcd endless to
Edgerton, so eager wus ho to meet his
fiancee and the little girl to ^hom he
was to bo a father. Ho picturedl him
self taking bis ease in bis own bouse,
surrounded by his family. '1 he loneli
ness of ft bnchclor life in a foreign
country was now lo be a tiling of tho
past.
Edgerton was the first passenger to
step ashore at San Francisco, and
within an hour after landing he was
speeding eastward on a railway train.
Tho day and hour of his arrival was
enown to Mrs. I'omeroy, and tdgcr- ,
ton expected that she would meet him
at the station. Ills Impatience to see .
her caused him to hope that she would, ,
but Ills aversion to the public witness
lug their meeting caused him to hope
that she would not.
She did not appear. Calling a con
veyance, lie drove to her home. A
maid opened tho door for htm, nnd so
sure was he thai bis fiancee would do
so that he came near throwing his
arms around the mr.ld. lie was ush
ered into a drawing room somewhat
dimly lighted, but there was no one
there. 1" a fexv minutes, Ueiirlne®
Ught step on the staircase, lie, ap
proached the door and stood
A woman entered the room, and he |
caught her In his arms.
She submitted lo the embrace, but
did not return it. f
"You nre ns you were when wo par/
ed," he said in a disappointed tone.
"You were then without warmth, and
you are without il now. 1 wonder ho*
you could have been true to me all
these years."
Standing off from her, he was aston
ished to sec one who looked not "■)
older than when ho bad left her.
"Upon my word," he exclaimed joy
fully, "y<>u have not changed in the
least' it is marvelous how you ha\e
retained your youth. I feel almost too
old for you."
Now for Hie first time the lady yen

"Happy to meet yon, madam," said
Edgerton, bowing. Then, turning to
Clara: "Your mother! Why, I suppos
ed your mother"—
"Hugh!" said the lady who had en
tered.
Edgerton started. He looked again
at Clara's mother, and there came to
him ii feeling that lie had made a
grave mistake. lie turned from her to
the daughter. I'nder the brighter light
he saw that she could not be more
than twenty. Turning again to the
mother, he recognized his fiancee of
sixteen years ago turned Into a woman
who, though not <iuite forty, looked at
least fifty. Her hair was white, her
skin was wrinkled, her neck under her
chin was shriveled.
"I am Clara," she said, "and that is
'Baby.' When you went away I did
not believe that on your return I would
bo a fit ago for you. I look older than
I am, but no man of your age should
be tied to a woman of mine. Clara so
nearly resembled me as I was when
you left us that I was tempted to put
her forward as myself. The result has
been as I expected. In me you looked
for the youthful person you left six
teen years ago. You have found nn
old woman. You supposed that in Cla
ru you would find a little girl. You
hare found her what I was when you
parted from me."
Edgerton listened to this speech with
a countenance width, despite his ef
forts, betrayed that it described the sit
uation. At its conclusion he began to
stammer objections, but the lady took
his hand, pressed It warmly and laid
it in that of her daughter.
"I have no wish to influence yon
two except for your own good. Clara
Is what I was at her age, and, as I told
you years ago, you are a fine fellow.
I give you a good wife.".
Edgerton married Clani Pomeroy,
but she was of a different generation
from the love of his extreme youth.
Comforting Words
Many an Aluskan Household Will
Find Them So
To have the pains and aches of
a bad back removed—to bo entirely
free from annoying, dangerous urin
ary disorders, is enough, to make
any kidney sufferer grateful. The
following advice of one jvho has
suffered will prove comforting words
to hundreds o1' Alaskan readers.
P. li. Sanderson, 819 First St.,
San Diego, Cal., says': "A severe at
tack of la grippe laid me up for
live weeks. My back got very pain
ful, lame and weak. My kidneys
were in bad shape. I felt all run
down. I read about Doan's Kid
ney Pills and got a box. They
fixed me up all right. Whenever I
hive taken cold on my kidneys
since, 1 have used Doan's Kidney
l'iils. They have always brought
good results."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr Sanderson had. Foster
