The desire Is quite strong among the
players and those interested that Ward,
Jensen and Renwick and Flaharty, Sl

of games. Whi'e neither team can get
the championship, It is thought the
whole ooniest should be played out so
that all the teams and all the Indivi
dual players can oomplete their reoord.
That the contest be completed is par
ticularly desired by those who wish to
arrange three men and Ave men teams
to meet live teams from Juneau. The
selectiooa for thN purpose can be made
more easily when all the players shall
have made a complete record In the

Euud R?put?Uon
For months Alaska readers have seen
the constant expression of praise for
Doan's Kidney Fills, and read about
the (rood work they have done in this
locality. Not another remedy ever
produced such convincing proof of merit.
J. W. Strong, a retired veteran of
506 Ohio Street, Bellingham, Wash.,
says: "Up to three years ago I . ad
never suffered any form of kidney
complaint. About that time 1 moved
u,j the Columbia river to Whatcom
Lake and three months after locating
there I bega'i to notice symptoms of
kidney trouble. The first was a dull
aching pain across the back and which
Anally got so bad tbat I was unable to
get out of the house at all. Lhangea*of
poaition were accompanied with severe
twinge* of pain and the kidney secre
tion* were (.'ark in color, and contained
a heavy sediment and passiog was ac
companied with pain. Lthink all this
trouble waa brought on Djr drinking im
pure water while living at Whatcom
Lake. However true that may be I
procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills,
took them according to directions and
was completely cured of my trouble.
About a month ago 1 had a severe at
tack of the grip and was afraid this
would bring on the kidney trouble !
again but there has been no symptom j
of a recurrence. I am satisfied that the j
cure is permanent "

How He Carried
The Messatfe
(Original.)
"Captain." said tbe major to one o(
bin officers, "I uiu^ get a messag*
through to Fort Wllaou, or it la only a
question of time that this little gurri
sou will be surrounded by Indians and
starved out."
"Who shall go, mujor? We have none
but recruits who know no more about
steering through Iutllans thau the nav
igation of th-? air."
"I.ook them over, select the best man
you ean lind and send him to me."
The captain departed and In half an
hour returned with Stlefel, the post
Butler.
"Major," said the officer, "there's not
a man at the post who will volunteer to
take your message except Stlefel. He
has one qualification? he has been an
Indian trader and knows how to make
himself understood by them."
"Stlefel! Are we soldiers to rely for
a hazardous duty on a citizen? a sut
ler?"
"I'm not going to fight 'em, major,"
said Stlefel. "I'll try to get through
In a different way. I've tried my hand
at a good many ways of making a
living. I might as well try carrying
messages."
The major looked at tbe man in as
tonishment. "You mean that you
would risk almost certain death for
money?"
"I'll take your message for $100."
When the major had recovered from
bis surprise he agreed to pay the 1100
and signed a contract to that effect,
lie further stated verbally that If Stle
fel was successful the amount should
be doubled and he should be given tbe
most valuable post In the department
wherein to sell his goods.
The next morning the sutler started
out to make a Journey of twenty miles,
which he was confident he could ac
complish before eveulng If not handi
capped. Ills departure was watched
by all at the fort, who wondered that
he went by day and without any weap
on except a walking stick. Stlefel told
them that there were more ways than
one of dolug things, and If he got
through It would be by entirely differ
ent means from tboae usually resorted
to.
The sutler walked for the first ten
or fifteen miles through a wood, from
which he emerged at the summit of a
hill where he could plainly see Fort
Wilson, with the stars and stripes float
ing above It. He was congratulating
himself that he would get through
without trouble when be saw a party
of Indiana at the foot of the hill look
ing up at him. They had Just observed
him and a moment later spurred their
ponies toward him.
Stlefel stood like a statue looking
out on the plain, and as the Indians
approached appeared not to observe
them, though they were directly before
and beneath him. When they came
near he put his hands above his head
and made a salaam to the sun, that at
the time stood directly over the fort.
The Indians paused, but soon advanced
again. Stlefel stooped, picked up a
couple of stonesaat his feet and rubbed
them together, muttering the while.
They burst into a flame.
Agaiu the ludians paused, this time
In wonder, and Stlefel could hear the
Indian words for medicine man re
[>eated from mouth to mouth. Some of
them were turning as from a supernat
ural being that might strike them
down by enchantment, but one, evi
dently their leader, called them back.
Again they came on, and as Stiefel did
did not make any movement in defense
they did not even raise their weapons.
Just before they reached him Stiefel
drew a circle about him with his cane,
from the end of which as it touched
the ground came fire and smoke, which
sputtered and fumed till the circle was
complete. Then when lifted from the
ground it was again but a stick
Most of the Indians hid their faces
on their ponies' necks; some started to
flee; all showed evidence of terror. The
chief alone maintained his ground.
Then Stlefel began to make friendly
signs to them, asking If they needed
food. Without waiting for a reply he
stepped up to one of the horsed and
from bis belly drew forth a chicken,
from another eggs and from a third a
double handful of coffee lq the bean.
While this increased the superstitious
wonder of the Indiana, It caused them
to look with more favor upon this won
derful medicine man, the like of whom
they had never seen. Stiefel gave them
the eatables, then marched past tliem
down the hill. It was not long, how
ever, before he beard them coming.
Turning, he saw the chief in advance,
the rest lagging. Drawing his stick In
a half circle before him, it spat lire
as before, and the Indians stood still.
Stlefel pointed to the chief contemptu
ously and used the Indian words for
chicken heart. Then advancing he
thrust his hand under the chiefs arm
and pulled out a heart which all could
see was that of a chicken. Instantly
the chief cowered, and the rest liegau
to upbraid him. Stlefel turned aud walk
ed slowly away. Once only again he
beard them coming. Turulns, be toss
?tl a white ball the size of a boy's mar
ble amon^ tbem. It exploded and scat
tered tbem In every direction. Stlefel
was not further molested and within
:wo hours delivered his message. ?
Soon after his arrival at the fort a
?wagon train loaded with provisions and
escorted by a troop of cavalry started
to relieve the Impoverished garrison
Stlefel went with them and when be
bad told his story received his reward.
"Where did you learn to spit Are
and all that sort of thing?" asked the
major.
"I was once assistant to a prestidigi
tator," replied the sutler.
"You've got the devil's nerve," the
major observed. "You should be a sol
dier.'' HENRY V. BI8SELL.
A WOMAN'S REASON
[Original.]
There was enough of Incident con
centrated In the wedding day of Dr.
Dmitri Urbanleff and Katharine Toua
kol, two young Russian? of the mid
dle class, for a whole lifetime. Ur
banleff had returned from his medical
studies In Paris with a light heart, for
Katharine watt expecting htm, and they
fcrcre to be married soon after his Ar
rival. -
lie found domesticated In the home
of Katharine's father Count Alejle
vech, who bad some months previous
appeared In the village near by and
who had brought a letter of Introduc
tion to Tonskol. For what he came
and how long he proposed to stay he
gave no Information. Dmitri, when he
found the young man so Intimate with
the family of his sweetheart, was trou
bled, but he soon made the discover}'
that Katharine did not like the count,
and this reassured him. Why she did
not fancy her father's guest was a puz
zle, for the doctor could see plainly
that the count seemed to desire her fa
vor. When Dmitri asked ^ Katharine
for a reason for her prejudice she gave
him no better one than that Alexievecli
was "cross eyed." Dmitri laughed at
this feminine reason and thought no
more about the matter.
The morulng of the wedding day
brought a shock to the community. A
dozen persons In the vicinity were ar
rested, and the most harrowing fea
ture was that the young doctor, who
was to have been married in the even
ing, was among them. The prisoners
Instead of being given n trial were hur
ried off to Siberia. Count Alexlevech
appeared to be as surprised and Indig
nant as any one and volunteered to
start at once for St. Petersburg, where
he claimed to have Influence, to pro
cure the doctor's release. Dmitri was
earnest In his gratitude and begged
the count to strain every nerve to free
him before It should be too late. Kath
arlne could only cling to her lover, de
spairing of ever seeing him again.
After her lover's departure she passed
a few hours In an agony of despair.
Then suddenly a desperate resolve tool;
possession of her. She distrusted tin
count's promise. Shortly previous to
the wedding day he had left her fa
ther's house and taken rooms In the
village. Katharine ordered a drosky
and drove to his rooms. Instead of
sending for him to come down she ran
upstairs and knocked at his door. She
found him walking the floor.
"Why are you not on the way to St.
Petersburg?" she asked.
"I was too late for- the 10 o'clock
train. There Is no other till tomorrow."
"There Is n train on the other road at
4 this afternoon. You have only to
drive Ave miles to It to catch it"
"Eh? Are you sure? I don't believe
there Is time."
"There Is time. Come. I have n
drosky below. I will drive you my
self."
The count began to bnsy himself
with preparation, making a great deal
of fuss while doing very little. Hatha
rlne saw his revolver lying on a table.
"You will need this." she said, taking
It up nnd thrusting It In a pocket of
her dress. "Come, we have no time to
spare."
Alexlevech, cramming some brushes
Into a bag, accompanied her downstairs.
They got Into the drosky. Katharine
seized the reius and drove away as
fast as the horse would carry them.
As they were passing through n
wood Katharine complained that her
fingers were numb and asked the count
to take the reins. He had no soouei
done so than he felt something hard
pressed against his neck and heard tbf
click of a pistol.
"Fiend," said Katharine. "I know all.
You are one of the chiefs of police anil
have been ferreting out this plot. Yrtn
have Implicated Dmitri to get him
out of the way the better to get nit
lntt> your clutches. 1 hate you, and 1
am going to kill you."
"Katharine! For heaven's sake, of
what are you accusing raeT'
"Write an order for the release ol
Dmitri or 1 Are."
"But I have no authority."
"Write."
The count, who had by this timi
caught a glance of the girl's despomti
face, took out his notebook, tori- ou'
a leaf, wrote the order and gave it tc
her.
"Drop the reins and get out of thi
drosky," she said. He obeyed, ani
Katharine, whipping up the horse, \va>
soon out of sight
She knew tliat the route the prison
ere had taken was the one she was-on
their eouductor Intending to take then
on the train she hail proposed to th<
count to take. She soon overtook tl.<
party, produced the order, which w;;
respeeted, her lover got into tli* dro..!;}
and they drove homeward. When ap
proaching the village they saw the
count ahead of them. He v.-as wa!!;'i';
with his head bent down <>n his breast.
When they came up to him he looked
up as though In n dream. Dmitri got
out of the drosky and demanded satis
faction for the wrong that had been
done him. The count looked at Kath
arine with a hopeless expression, ask
ed her to give Dmitri the revolve!
and bared his breast. Dmitri turned
away, got Into- the drosky and, without
a word from blm or Katharine to the
count, drove on.
At the hour that had been announced
for the wedding the bride and groom
were ready, and, as the news of Dmi
tri's release had spread like wildfire
the guests were assembled. The cere
mony passed as quietly as bad been
expected.
When the bride and groom were
alone together Dmitri asked:
"Katharine, how did you know thi
man was the cause of my arrest?"
"I didn't like the squint in his eyes/
