Seward, Alaska. The revenue cut

so far as known were those of a wom

It's Much Easier
To iron when you use the
electric iron. Its advantages
are many. Here are a few
important ones. First, it has
an even temperature at all
times. Second, it saves time
and labor by not having to
run to the stove every few
minutes.. Lastly, it does away
with that roaring hot fire that
is necessary with the old way.
Consult us now about the cost
of using electricity.

o
A Lady's Part In an Affair
of Honor
By ISABEL MORTON f
000"$0000000J)0'J)OtO0
One afternoon toward the close of
the seventeenth century a young lady
was sitting in the garden In tbe rear
of ber borne In New Orleans when a
negro came from tbe bouse bearing a
silver sulver on which lay a sealed
note.
"Mile. Tberese. can you tell me
where I can dud Marse George?" asked
the boy.
Instead of replying, the girl took the
missive from tbe salver and looked tt
over, especially examining the band
writing In which the address was writ
ten. "Who brought It?" ebe asked.
"A eulld boy."
"Whose boy?"
"1 spec' be belongs to Mars' Win
ston." Mars' Winston was the intimate
friend of Clarence Warfleld. and Clar
ence Wartieid had been attentive to
the young lady who was inspecting the
note, d'eorge Carnotix. ber twin broth
er, was so wra pied up In bjs sister
that tbe idea ot her marrying any one
wns abhorrent to blm. lie said that he
would be perfectly willing she should
marry provided the mini of her choice
was good enough for her. but that man
had not yet appeared. Mile. Carnou
from the opposition ber brother had
shown to tbe attentions Wartieid bad
paid ner. suspected that ber brother
had Insulted the latter, and this was
a challenge. But she could not under
stand. It such it were, why l.ouls Win.
ston should not bave brought so im
portant a communication himself in
stead ot sending it by a slave.
"1 will go and fiee If 1 can find him."
she said to tbe servant "Let tbe boy
wait."
She went into the house and up to
her room, taking the noie with uer. Her
brother was not at home, and she bud
little fear ot interruption in what she
was about to do. Slitting the paper
about the seal envelopes were nut
then used she read the note. It was,
as slie susHM-ted. a challenge Warlield
had sent through Winston, who ex
plained bis sending it by a slave be
cause if be called himself Mile. Car
noux might suspect the object of bis
visit. Winston said Wartieid hoped
that Carnoux would withdrew the lan
guage he bad used that morning, for
he considered the affair very unfortu
nate, and it should be amicably settled.
Mile. Carnoux knew tier brother too
well to believe that be would withdraw
anything be had said In tbe face of a
challenge. She sat with tbe letter in
ber band for a long while revolving
plans in her beHd for preventing the
meeting. She loved Wartieid. and ber
affection for ber brother wns of that
strength that Is natural between twins
At last she came to a conclusion Tak
ing trout a cabinet a bundle ot her
brother's letters, she replied to the note
in bis name. Imitating bis bund writ
ing. appointing for tbe meeting the
next morning at 5 o'clock in the wood
near the city, where most duels were
fought Then, sealing ner note witb
wax. she called a servant and told mm
to give it to i be boy.
When Oeorge Carnoux came in an
hour later he found bis sister waiting
for bim expectantly. She told bim that
word bad come trom a plantation own
ed by tbe Carnoux family that the
levee on Its border showed signs of
breaking and bis presence was needed
there at once.
Mow, Carnoux was not well pleased
at this news since be expected a visit
from some friend ot Warlield's. whom
be bad insulted that morning. But on
asking It any geutlemau bad called to
see him and being assured that tbere
had not be reluctantly mounted a horse
and rode away, leaving orders that any
one calling was to receive an explana
tion of his absence and be told that lie
would return Just as soon as be could
secure tbe safety or the plantation.
Mile. Tberese. who bad sent her
brother away on a tool's errand, kuew
that be could not go to the plantation
and return before the next day was
half speut As soon as be had gone,
having eliminated him temporarily
from the problem, she gave herself up
to thought us to what she should do
further. While George was ot an ex
citable dispositlou und a bery temper.
Tberese bad the advantage of blm in
coolness, and she possessed more phys
ical strength. Indeed, though George
was by no means effemluate. every one
said that Tberese should have been the
boy Instead ot ber brother. She was a
tiitie heavier In build and was half an
inch taller.
Evening came and she bad formed
no plan, but at tbe hour when the
cares were crowded an Idea got Into
ber head that accorded rather with
the nature ot a man than that of a wo
man. Going to her brother's room, she
Belected a suit of his clothes and pot
It on. concealing her feminine figure
by donning a large oven-oat witb a
long cape that covered ber blps. It
was not needed for warmth, but was
very efficient as a disguise. Having
thus arrayed berselt. she watched for
an opportunity to escape from the
bouse unobserved, but stumbled on
Uncle .lake, an old darky, who start
ed when he saw her,
"Ko1 de Lo'd. Mars' George. I thought
yo'd gone to de piantatlonl Yo' ualut
o' owu ghost nohow, are yo'?"
Mars' George pushed by tbe old man.
saying that be was In a burry. learlng
him gaping, and. entering upon tbe
street, strolled toward tbe gayest part
of the city.
Wben morning dawned Clarence
Wartieid, accompanied by bis second,
Winston, drove into the wood where
tbe meeting was to take place. No one
was there. Winston pulled bis watcb
from bis fob and remarked that It was
till live minutes of tbe bour appoint
ed. The two men paced back and
forth together, for the morning was
chilly. While thus engaged tbey beard
tbe aouod of carriage wbeela, and
Winston remarked. "Here tbey come;
they're on tbe minute."
What was their surprise to see three
I gentlemen alight from tbe carriage
whom they did not know, one witb a
I pair of rapiers In the bollow of bis
! arm, another having a wooden case.
I Tbe three ou seeing Wartieid and his
! second looked equally astonished.
"Gentlemen." suld tbe man witb the
j foils, "I presume we bave both come
j for a similar puriwse. but fortunately
I there is plenty of room for alL"
J "We presumed that your carriage
! contained the other half of our party."
aid Wartieid. looking at bis timepiece
"it is a few minutes past our appoint
ed time. We were to meet at 5 o clock."
"That was our hour."
"Indeed. Strange that two affairs
should have been arranged for tbe
same liour at the Rame place."
Tbe last words were scarcely spol;en
when another carriage drove up and
out stepped a third party, unknown
to the other two. All three of tbe dif
ferent sets looked at one another In
amazement.
"There is something singular about
all tliN." said Winston. Then, turning
to one of the party who were second
on Hie ground, he asked:
"Would yon mind iutorming me. sir,
of the name ot the man you are to
meetV"
The other handed the inquirer a card
bearing the uame ot George Carnoux.
Winston and his principal looked at it
in added astonishment.
"And you?" said Winston, turning to
the third party, who produced a card
bearing the same name as the other.
As soon as Warlield could regain his
tongue be asked both parties If they
bad long known Mr. Carnoux and re
ceived a reply that they bad met bim
only the evening before, where both
principals admitted that they bad been
grossly insulted by bim.
Warlield and his second looked at
each other puzzled. What could It
mean? Carnoux was a tiery fellow, but
a gentleman who would not be likely
to Insult any one. Could it be that bis
I courage bad failed him and In order
to prevent one duel be had taken upon
himself two more?
"What kind of a looking person was
the man who insulted you?" asked
Winston of the others. They described
Carnoux "It must be so." said War
field to his second. Then to tbe others:
I "Gentlemen, you may as well return
to the city. The man who insulted you
did so. doubtless, to escape a meeting
i witb me. I sent him a' challenge yes
i terday afternoon and received a reply
; directly from blm appointing the uieet
: ing with me here this morning."
! At that Juncture more wheels were
I heard, and another carriage rolled Into
j the wood. All eyes were turned toward
j It, eager to see who would alight, all
j suspecting that a new person who had
j been Insulted the night before was
I coming to receive satisfaction. To the
j astonishment of all three parties, out
stepped a lady a lady whom Wartieid
and his second recognized at ouce as
Therese Carnoux.
I "What does this mean, you coward?"
; thundered one ot the principals. "Do
I you come here to shield yourself under
j a woman's skirts?"
j "Please explain, sir," said Therese
i haughtily.
1 The man referred to the Insult of the
evening before.
', "George Carnoux Is my brother." re
! plied Therese. "and he could not have
.' insulted you. because he went yester
I day afternoon to our plantation, hfty
1 miles away."
"There is some trick heref cried the
'other furiously. Wartieid interrupted
him.
"You came here to meet this lady's
brother. One disrespectful word to her
and you will have an opportunity to
settle the matter with me."
' The three parties glared at one an
other for a tew moments; then both the
second and third parties to arrive bolt
! ed for their carriages and drove away,
j They had scarcely gone wben a fourth
I carriage came hurrying on. then stop
j ped. and out Jumped George Carnoux.
j Seeing his sister, he exclaimed re-
proucbfuily:
I "Therese. what have vou done? You
have sought to disgrace me."
"Brother, you must make the best of
all this. I am engaged to Clarence
j Wartieid and command you to make it
! all up with bim."
! "I beg ot you to do so," said War-
field, advancing, with outstretched
band. Carnoux hesitated, then took
tbe proffered hand.
"But what does it all mean?" he
asked of bis sister.
"I received tbe challenge intended
for you. replied to it In your name,
sent you off to get you out ot the way,
went out dressed In your apparel, com
plicated matters by Insulting persons In
your name and came here to exonerate
you."
"What a mad freak!"
"You returned sooner than I expect
ed." "I met a man from the plantation
wlm told u: that there was no danger
Trom the levee."
"And now. gentlemen." said Therese.
"since this affair has been brought to
the reductlo ad absurdiini come nome
with me and we will have some break-fust"

Immigrants Suffering With Hook
worm in Seattle (Jiiai-antine.
Seattle, Wash. Thirty immigrants
from the Orient, including 20 Japan
ese "picture brides," are held in
quarantine at the United States immi
gration station here because they are
afflicted with hookworm.
"About 50 per cent of the Japanese
women entering America are victims
of hookworm," said Dr. Jolivar J.
Lloyd of the United States Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service.
"Only 12 per cent of the male Immi
grants from Japan have the disease.
The greater prevalence of the disease
among the Japanese women than the
men is because the women go bare
footed while working in the rice
fields, while the men have been ac
customed to wearing shoes. The dis
ease is contracted by the larvae of
the hookworm entering the system
through some abrasion of the skin,
frequently on the feet. It has been
estimated that !0 per tent ot the
Chinese boys who enter this country
have the disease.
Application Denied.
Washington, D. C. The interstate
Commerce Commission denied Mon
day the application of the Southern
Pacific Railway Company for relief
from the operation of the long and
short haul law governing traffic be
tween Portland, Ore., and San Fran
cisco common points. It was held,
however, that the Southern Pacific
has Justified the exaction of higher
rates southbound from Portland to
points inland than to San Francisco.
The existing rates, subject at inter
mediate points to the operation of
the long and short haul provision,
will stand, the necessary adjustment
of rates to be made by August 1..
