The probe started by the Inter
state Commerce CoinmisBiuq .against
tlu» rail and waier oarriar* serving
Alaska, is a measure that tn«s star
uas advocated for many moons. The
people ot Alaska have endured the
ex tortious of 'lieeje carriers until
patience has ceat>ed to be a virtue,
i'uat old homely adage, that "if
you give a calf enough, rope it will
nang itself" applie® to tuese steam
ship companies with, as much, foroe
as it ever did to saloon men and
aauce hall proprietors. , Kvery fa
vor granted them was soon con
sidered an "inalienable right" that
i» required, "due proces® ot law" to
take away from them.
Tike people have no oue|>articu
larly, otbar than Delegate Wicker

may bt derived trom this probing cC

been w irking ou this proposition for
the las' two years and wo opine
that te will divulge ant "insidious
c3iii|)iTacy" that will show the ut

have for any one, other than them
selves and their henchmen in Al

But ' wuat's his politics" asks some

A Strip of
Seaweed
It Was Given as a Token at
the Time of a Betrothal.
By F. A. MITCHEL
In the olden time Newport, R. I., was
an Important shipping port Indeed,
until the period of the Revolution a
number of points on the Atlantic coast
were about equally prominent In this
respect. As the years rolled on all ex
cept New York. Boston and Philadel
phia dropped out, the latter finally
leaving the first the supremacy.
In that early day on the beach where
now In the summer season hundreds,
at times thousands, of fashionable per
sons drive and lounge and bathe, one
moonlight night a young man and a
girl sat looking out upo i the gilded wa
ter. They were Edinoud Roscoe and
Evallna Blair, the youi v man a son of
a prominent shipowner, the girl the
daughter of a merchant There were
no sounds of revelry it the little town
back of them, as there are now at that
season, and. as for the beach, not a
sound was to be beard except the plash
of the sluggish waves as they broke
and rolled In on the sand.
There could be no more fitting place
for a young man to tell his story to a
maiden, and Edinond 'loscoe was tell
ing Evallna Blair his. love for her
Then and there their troth was plight
ed under the yellow lljrht of the moon,
the lovers' voices accompanied by the
effervescing sound of the waves as
they slid up In foam on the smooth
sands.
There were both happiness and sad
ness for these two ; oung creatures
whose lives seemed so much to them.
In a few days they were to part for
several years. Erallna wns to go to
England that her education might be
tlnlshed under the (•upervlslon of au
aunt, for she was of r.tie Blah's of Dev
onshlre, a family of country geutlemen
and ladles of blue blood, and must
needs be given accomplishments suit
able to her rank. Edmond was to enter
Brown university, which was then lu
Its babyhood and soou to give up its
as yet only dormitory to quarter sol
diers of the Revolution.
The transports of betrothal were
scarcely over when Edmond said:
"You are going to a land where you
will meet many persons of rank and
fashion. I know that you will be a
belle among them. Some man, possibly
a noble, will fall in love with you.
You will dread to re:urn to this un
cultivated land. You will remain In
England, and I shall never see you
again."
Looking at him through her earnest
eyes, she replied:
"Give me some token by which I
shall rememlier these words of yours.
If I am tempted by fortune to remain
In England 1 promise you I will look
at It and am sure It will bring up be
fore me the happiness of this evening,
and I shall choose you and the life of
a simple Khode Island woman In pref
erence to that of a lady of rank."
"Alas, I have nothing suitable. I
should give you a ring or"
"I wish no bauble." .replied Evallna.
"Give me something to remind me of
these sands, the ocean, the plash of
the waves."
Looking about him. Edmond saw a
seaweed lying within his reach. Tak
ing It up. he handed it to Evallna. She
took It und, spreading it out on her
lap, said:
"I, Evallna, promise yoc, Edmond.
that In case I am tempted to place
rauk and fortune l>efore my love for
you I will think of you with this plant
of the #ea before me. And 1 assure
you that when 1 have Quished my
education I will bring the token to
you as evidence that I have been true
to you Rnd my heurt has been always
youvs."
After this assurance tnere was a
long embrace. Then they arose and,
taking a path which Is now a broad
avenue, returned to the town.
Every day, or, rathe!-, every evening,
till Evallua's departure the lovers went
to the l'each. They were not troubled
even In the daytime with persons to
disturb their meetings. There were
no bathers In fantastic suits, no car
rlages. no louugers. ,f,he last evening
before Evallna's departure they passed
there. The moon rose, as It were, out
of the ocean, the flrst spark apjieurlng
like a far distant bonfjre. then gilding
the Bhore over the crests of the waves,
sud finally the great round disk rested
ou the horizon of water.
"Heaven grant," said Edmond. "that
we will again see this tieautiful sight
and that we shall theu be one."
"If I live you will have your wish."
replied Evaliua.
The next day the ship that was to
carry her to England sailed from the
little town on Narragansett bay, the
lovers waving until they could distin
guish each other's forms no longer.
During the first year of their separa
tlon Evallna wrote regularly to her
lover. The second year abroad was
for an education In social Ufe. As her
lover had predicted, she became a
belle. She wrote Edmond of the fine
people she met, of the amusements
rommon among persons of quality
Hut her letters showed no diminution
of love for him and Indicated that she
looked forward to their reunion with
as much hope and pleasure as when
she had left him.
Tet there was a great deal that she I
