GOOD TIMES AHEAD
Although the reports from the sta

throughout' tl e country are not as
'ncouraglng as <1tsired, and thous
ands upon thousands of raen are uu
employed there. nevertheless 'he
outlook fcr this year In Alaska f?
particularly bright.
The opening of the oil fields
of the terri-"T to pXPlora'ion and

spread interest throughout the coun
try: and hindreds of oil claims
have Ven ftaked all the way from
Yakutat on the ,.ast to I'gashik
Uake in th,» Alaska Peninsula on
h.\ west. Local and outside cap
ita' has been inteiVsit^d In *he
development of many of th^e claim
and during xhe coming summer thei
will be a large amount of drill
ing done. If any of tbe-V drills
bring in productive wells, and ther(»
i> not the slightest doubt but that
thJev wil1, Alaska will ba\> an era
of prorperity not exceeded by even
the Bonanzaz days. Even the

A Now Romance of iho Storm Cotwtvij
CHAPTER I.
"Tony"—For Short.
Another winter liail lifted Its Icy
Angers from tlit; Storm Country ami
Lake Ca.vugn, ami an early spring had
brought from the South the red-breast
e»l robins and thousands of other birds
to build their homes In the Forest
| city, as Ithaca. N. Y„ Is well called,
for to tlie south, the east, the west,
and evet> to the north where the lake
cut sharply around a corner, broad
fore*ts stretched their lengtl'is and
heights of leaf and bough on minia
ture mountains.
One evening on the western side of
the railroad tracks, n girl stood before
a small building over which, like ropes
of green, draped the branches of a
weeping willow tree. This building
was different from any of the other
habitations near it in that It was well
painted, and the door stood open ail
day.
"fwas a strange little girl that
gazed up with searching eagerness jtt
the two lighted signs that had arrest
ed her attention. In her arms she
held a diminutive guinea pig. and the
way she bugged It close demonstrated
her love for It.
-T1IK SALVATION" AKMY," she
spelled out and thoughtfully consid
ered It.
"Everybody is welcome here," she
read slowly. Tluvt meant that anyone
could enter if he wanted to, she de
cided. and as Tminlbel Devon did
want to go in. sin- softly tiptoed up
the steps and peeped Into the room.
As there was nobody in sight, she
sidled in and looked about.
'•Welome" was curved in letters of
red above a table, and the silent young
stranger slghtsl. She couldn't under
stand how a irirl could be really wel
come srnvwbere. < course her moth
er liked her arid mi-sod her when she
was away, but Tony knew of no other
place wli-re she was really wanted
but the rnunl biv-t. called Mary and
Dirty Mary for >!:ort. which had been
her home ever since she could re
member. •

kept her nt' 'in 11: >i little longer. She
didn't know wh.it they meant, hut the
varied colors shining brilliant In the
bright lih! ■•i-!i:,eil her tnrhulent
spirit anil node her happy. She
hurraed lh<- [>'g closer. bent her head
and kissed ilie fp of its ear.
"I ui-'ri' In a church, Gussle."
she said aloud, "and you mustn't grunt
or squeal like you do on the Pirty
Mary. It'* anful nice and quiet, ain't
It. honey V
"Were you speaking to me?" said a
voice from near tlie door.
Tonnlhel I'evon struggled to her
fret, turned around and saw a young
man looking at her. A flame of red
rushed over the tanned skin, but be
cause he was smiling and kindly, she
smiled back, a dimple coming to life
at each corner of her mouth.
"Nope." she fiung out in confusion.
"I was tnlkln' to Oussle-Plglet here.
Mobbo her and me hadn't ought to be
here. You can kick us out If you
Want to."
I'hlllp MacTnnle.v, the captain of
the Salvation army in Ithaca, bowed,
and then lie laughed.
"Kvery one is welcome here," he
quoted, coming forward. "Where'd
you come from? I've never seen yon
before."
"I'm staying up Hoghole way." re
plied Tony. "I ain't been around
Ithaca long. This is an awful nice
room, ain't It. huh?"
"Yes, very. We like it," replied the
young man. "Sit down: don't be In a
hurry. I want to talk to you."
Tonnibel did sit down but not very
comfortably. She was embarrassed In
'lie presence of this handsome young
stranger, abashed in the glamor of his
uniform, ami all tin- beauty of him.
With boyish admiration he was con
templating the sparkle of her gray
eyes, shaded by long lashes as ebony
black as her hnlr which hung In ring
lets to her waist. He decided that
she was very pretty, and that he liked
to have her ill the Salvation army
quarters.
"Can't you stay for meeting tnis
evening?" lie n«ked presently. "We
have singing here."
Tony's eyes deepened almost to lus
trous hlnck.
"Oil. I'd love flint!" Then she shook
her heart. "N'ofje." she went on, "I got
to'" go home to mummy. She's all
alone! Slelilie when my daddy gets
hack I'll come some time and sit clean
through the night."
For an Instant the smile stayed
about the hoy's lips, then gravity set
tled once more over Ills earnest young
face. *
"What's done in this place?" she
questioned after a while.
"Oh, we sing and read and pray,"
replied the hoy. "We do everything
we can to help people. There's such a
lot of misery iu the world."
"That's as true's you're born," came
hack promptly from the parted red
lips. "I know that because ray mother
Is stck every day, and she cries too.
That's misery, ain't It?'
Captain MacCauley was used to
tales of woe, but be knew a panacea
for them. "Yes. It Is so," he said.
"Perhaps you could get her to come
here some evening! Do you think you
could?"
"Daddy wouldn't let her," was the
reply, and she lifted unfathomable
saddened gray eyes to his. "You see
when a man owns a woman, and she j
don't do the things he tells her to, he
beats her, huh?"
There was mute pleading In her ex
pression as she drew back on the
bench a little farther away from him.
Ah I He might have known that she
hnd been swept along by the relent
less tide of brutality. He sighed a
little. He hnd s-een enough of Ignorant
men with Ihelr supreme egotism, to
know she told the truth.
"Your father Is—Is—cruel to your
mother, then?" he faltered.
She remained In deep thought for
the space of a few seconds.
"A swat or two, mebbe more, ain't
a killin' thing to women folks," was
the response she made confusedly at
length.
So unusual had been her answer
that Philip MacCauley gazed at her In
amazement.
"Have you ever heard of—of God?"
he asked finally, his own confusion ap
parent in the stumble of his tongue.
Tonnlbel laughed.
"I hear God d—n more'u a hundred
times a day," she replied. "Is that
what you mean?"
"Not quite," answered Philip, star
tled. "No! Not that."
"Then what?" demanded Tony.
"What kind of a (lod do you mean?"
"One that is good," explained Phil
ip. "There isn't any God but the one
who helps—"
"Sly mummy?" breathed the girl,
misty tears shadowing her eyes.
"Yes."
"Where is he, then?" The words
shot forth with such insistence that
something within I'hillp MacCauley
rose to its demand.
"Some one's got to be good to ray
mother," the girl ran on before he
could speak. "She's sick—and lonely.
Oh, I've got to do something for her.
Where's your helplu' God, mister?"
"Right here In, tills place," said
Philip, a strange emotion sweeping
over him. "In fact there Isn't any
place where God Is not."
"He wouldn't come In a dirty canal
boat, would lie?" demanded Tony,
breathlessly.
Astonished at such crudeness, Cnp
taln MacCauley shifted himself about
so he faced her squarely. Was It pre
tended ignorance or Innocence In the
searching gray eyes? Then be decided
that truth was stamped on every line
of the upturned face.
"Of course, everywhere," he ex
claimed brokeuly. "Why, dear child—"
Tony Devon Interrupted him swift
ly. "Tell me how to raanuge It," she
pleaded. "How can I wheedle your
God to the Dirty Mary?"
"To the what?" was the, question
the boy asked in shocked swiftness.
"The Dirty Mary," repeated Tony.
"Sly mummy and me live on a canal
boat. Once she were Just called
'Mary.' But she's so d—d nasty, Ede ]
calls her the Dirty Mary. She's a
nice boat just the same us long as my
mummy's there. But I can't see how a
clean God could come on 'er. ... I
guess you're foolln' me, mister."
Philip swallowed hard. Then slowly i
and gently he talked to her, trying .j ,
make her understand as best he could
what he meant by God, Spirit.
"And you can help your mother, lit
tle—what's your name?"
"Tony, Just Tonnlbel," she mumbled.
Then her voice rose and she uttered
sharply, "Now tell me how to help my
mother."
Philip went to the altar and sorted
out a small card.
"This," he said, coining back to her,
"has happy, loving thoughts written on
It. If you think these things all the
time—oh. how they will help both you
and your mother."
Wonderlngly she took It In her
fingers. The first thing that met her
eyes was a beautiful uplifted face of a
man and in his anus was a little lamb.
Uuderneath the picture was printed,
"Feed my sheep," and directly under
that were the words, "Stand still and
see the salvation of the Lord." Once
more her eyes sought the face above,
a face wherein lay all the pity and
love In the world.
Tony Devon caught a glimpse of the
lesson he was trying to teach, and
when she went out of the Salvation
army hall she held within the depths
of her a wonderfully new and utterly
strange emotion.
She was panting for breath when
she ran up the gangplank of the canal
boat.
A woman was busy brewing tea
when the ™!rl slipped dov.u :liu tuj.
of.llie cabin.
"Vou been gone a long time, Tony,"
mumbled Mrs. Devon. "Dlil you see
anything of your daddy?"
"Nope, and I squinted In every beer
hole In Ithaca," Tony replied, "but—
but—but I found out something for
you. Listen! There's somebody on this
boat besides me, and you—and Gus- j
sle.'"
"Who?" came sharply from the '
woman.
She shivered, fearing that the law
lay In wait for her absent husband.
"Who, brat?" she repeated Implor
ingly.
Tonnjbel bent over and looked |
straight Into the sad, wan face.
"God, Just a plain lovln' God!" she
replied, her countenance expressing
unusual exaltation. "Sit a minute
while the tea's makln' good, and I'll
tell you."
Side by side they sat together on the
bunk while with lowered reverent

voice the girl told the story of the
Shepherd who had said Ions ir.'o with .
Infinite pity, "Feed ray sheep."
"And mummy," the girl continued, |
leaning her head against her mother's |
arm, "Darling mummy, that beautiful
man said, "Love'd make crooked
things straight,' and—and It's sn."
A look of unbelief came over Edith
Devon's face.
"Fiddle," she said In a disgusted
voice. "Tony, you ain't a brain In
your bean."
"I don't need any brains as long us I
got this, Edie." the girl replied, lift- J
Ing the card she held. "Come on. lot's
say these things over. Here's '•tie
that'll keep—well. It'll help keep
daddy from beatln' you."
Mrs. Deron grasped the girl's arm
In sudden frenzy.
"You told some one Uriah heats
me?" slie demanded slmriily.
"Mehhe I did, anil mebhe I didn't,"
answered Tony, slyly, "but these here
words about standin' still and walrh- j
Ing Salvation slam good all about will |
keep pappy's fists up his sleeves. Sav j
It, Edie,* she ended.
"I won't," said Edith, getting up
swiftly. "If there's anything in it.
Tony, you can show me by gettln' your
daddy back honw. Mebbe he's In jail."
"Even If he was," retorted the girl,
with a wise shake of her head, "Ioviu'

to find out more some of these days,

mommy?"
"Yes," muttered Edith, "but I'm get

on this boat that God, or whoever
you're talkln' about, ain't botherln' his
