\m PLACE
1). Pinneo Sncceeds
Frank W, White
R. D. Pinneo has assumed the duties
of his new position with the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company. His title is
that of assistant general freight agent.
, He takes the place formerly occupied
by Frank W. White, who has been pro
moted and whose headquarters are now
at San Francisco. Mr. Pinneo's head
quarters will be at Seattle.
Mr. Pinneo has qualified himself for
his present position by 18 years of
strenuous work in the transportation
business. He bejan m 1888, when a
boy, as a telegraph operator with the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. He
staid with that company, as operator
station agent, train dispatcher and fin
ally as agent at the West Superior
docks for several years. From the
Milwaukee, Mr. Pinneo went to the
Northern Pacific as cashier and then
ticket agent at Duluth. In 1894, he
came west to Seattle, becoming cashier
at tSse dock and afterwards agent there
for the Pacific Coat Steamship Com
pany.
C:n 1901 Mr. Pinneo came to Skagway
i chief clerk to the White Pass traffic
manager. When the White Pass took
over the Canadian Development Com
pany, Mr. Pinneo went to Whitehorse
and opened the accounts for the river
division and became cashier for that.
Iu January 1904 he came to Skagway
again as assistant general freight and
passenger agent, ard in the reorganiza
tion of the traffic department, last
January, he was made freight and pass
enger agent at Vancouver. He quit
the White Pass to go back to the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company.
The rise of Mr. PinDeo from a posi
tion as an oscuie telegraph operator to
his present high official position while
he is yet a yonng man is due entirely to
merit. Ability, industry integrity, char
acter, lovality to his employers and an
arable personality have carried him
upward, and that they will carry him
still higher Is the conviction o' uianv
friends he has left between his first
p'ace of ?mployment and his last.

A Feminine Instinct I
i
[Original.]
During the late Russo-Japanese war
In my company was Peter Alexiavitch,
the youngest of the enlisted men. Pe
ter had not yet a beard; he was light
complexioned and fair haired, with ptnk
cheeks. He had all the delicacy and
seusttiveness of a girl. His comrades
called him Polly. There was another
thing about Peter that was different
from his associates? he was much bet
ter bred than they. He seemed to me
to be the son of some country gentle
man.
I felt sorry for little Peter from the
first and shielded him as far as possi
ble, excusing him from the most ardu
ous and dangerous duties. I hoped
that my leniency would not be noticed,
but it was. Some of the men who
would have Uked to be coddled them
selves called him Captain's Baby and
said that, "though he was too line for
picket duty, he would soon be lording
It over them as an officer." But the
best men in the company did not feel
In this way. They recognized in Pe
ter something that bad been created on
different lines from themselves and
would often insist on relieving him
from certain severe duties from which
I could not well protect him.
The llrst time Peter was under Are I
watched him anxiously to see how he
would behave. I greatly feared that
after the fight was over his position in
the company would be far worse than
before. We were supporting the artil
lery, standing at rest while our guns
sent their compliments to the Japs.
Peter appeared to be interested in try
tag to see the shots that left the muz
zles of our guns as they sped toward
the enemy. There was In him all the
Intensity of a child watching the work
ing of a new toy. Presently there came
a reply. It went far above us and
pleased Peter as much as our own
shots had pleased him. The enemy
gradually drew nearer our range until
their shots all struck within a few
yards of us. Having nothing to do, I
kept my eyes on l'eter. I Judged It
had not occurred to him we were In
danger. I failed to see how he could
be unconscious of what was so ap
parent but fancied his obtuseness
came from the gradual approach of
the projectiles. At any rate, Peter
seemed to be delighted at the sport
and was shouting and laughing like a 1
boy playing ball.
Anotner oauery or ours was uuiug .
greater damage to the Jap works,
?who turned their guns from us to It,
without having done us any damage, i
I was congratulating myself that the |
fighting, so far as we were concerned, ;
was for the time being over and our J
boy had not disgraced himself, but :
at that moment a wounded man was !
carried by, the blood streaming from j
a cut in his scalp, and what should
Peter do but shudder and turn pale.
He cast a frightened glance above, as
though it had just dawned upon him
that this wound had come from the
shells which had so delighted him,
theu turned to run.
"Stand fast, you little fool! Don't
you see the danger Is over?" thundered
the lieutenant
Peter gathered his nerves and return
ed to bis plac?. I wished I could send
him home to his mother, for he the
more impressed me as a boy not suf
ficiently developed to warrant his be
ing yet loosed from her apron strings.
At the first battle we were engaged
In the lieutenant was obliged to strike
Peter with the flat of his sword to keep
him in the ranks, but when the fight
was on little "Polly" was wild with
the excitement of battle. When it was
over he fell in a dead faint.
I determined to make an effort to '
procure Peter's discharge, and sent up
an application to headquarters to that
effect, based, first, on the fact that he
was physically Incapable of perform
ing the duties of a soldier, and, second,
that he was mentally deficient in this?
he could not discriminate between the
presence and absence of danger. He
was invariably undisturbed when his
life was at risk and in terror when the
risk bad passed.
I did not hear from the application
for>a long while, then I received an
order to report in person at the colo
nel's tent I found there a young man
whose resemblance to "Polly" startled
me. The colonel, taking up a paper,
said to me: "This is your application
for the discharge of Private Alexla
vltch. Owing to the mental deficiency
stated, I referred the case to the med
ical director. This Is his indorsement:
"The Idiosyncrasy ot being unconscious
I of real danger ar.d terrified when there la
no danger is peculiar to women. I would
recommend that Private Alexiavitch be
I examined to determine hla or her sex.
' "Having been constantly engaged of
j late," the colonel went on, "with the
enemy, this application has been unat
tended to. Now this young man comes
: with the story that Private Alexia
1 vitch Is his sister, who took his place
; when he w*e conscripted. I desire
| that you, if convinced of the truth of
j the story, take him into your company
! and discharge his sister."
j Returning to my camp with the
! young man, I asked why his sister
? took his place In the army. He said
| that at the time of his conscription
| their mother was at the point of death
? and to lose him would have killed her.
j His sister told her mother that she
j had received an appointment to teach
at Moscow and must go at once or
' lose the position. Instead, she donned
I man's clothes and personated the con
j script TTU mother had recovered and
1 he wished to take his own place in the
ranks.
When Lisa and Peter Alexia vitch

I pair. Lisa went home and Peter be
