The deois'on of the Norwegian people
to have a king instead of changing
their country to a republic will be
a sad disappointment to several
hundred natives of that sturdy country
who make their home in the great
American republic. It is not sure,
however, that it w.ll not be a good
thing for the United States because it
will serve to retain many Norwegians
in this country who would return to
their native land were it a republic.

Clnb Dance GiVs Way to
L. T. 0. M.
The White Pass Athletic Club infor
mal dance, announced for tonight, has
been postponed on account of the dance
and social to be given tomorrow night
by the Ladies of the Maccabees. The
latter organization postponed its dance
once for the ladies] of the Methodist
church, and the club committee thought
it but fair that they give way tonight.
The preparations have been com
pleted for one of the best dances of the
season tomorrow night and the Ladies
of the Maccabees have invited every
body in the city to be present. The
dance will be at the Maccabeec hall.
Refreshments will be served.

THE LONG LANE
[Coyprlght. IMS. by T. C. McClure.]
The room was unlighted nave for tho
Are on the heart!), which snapped and
crackled and sent weird, distorted
shadows about the walls.
Barrlugton sat near the Are, which
lighted his heavy features uncannily
and showed plainly the drawn, hard
lines about his mouth. Barbara Allen
had withdrawn to the shadows of a
far corner and divided her time be
tween a playful Angora kitten and
covert glances in the young man's di
rection. Now aud again as his brow9
knit In an angry frown she smiled
knowingly as she smoothed the kitten's
silky coat.
Presently the young man whirled
about In his chair and glared Into the
gloom of the comer where the girl's
face was but barely visible.
"I suppose," said he, with bitter sar
casm, "that I should have known from
the beginning where wc would como
out with this" little alTair of ours. 1
suppose I should have taken warning
from the countless predecessors who
have tempted fate before me. But a
man In love Is blind to many things,
and I And I've been no exception to
this general rule."
The girl In the corner bent over the
kitten, but made no reply. Barrlugton
kicked back an ember which hurtled
from the fire and continued:
"I didn't think you were th it sort
of a girl. I fondly imagined, in my
blessed Innocence, that you had some
spirit of fairness. ! lind I've been
mistaken- and more."
"Be careful, Fritz," she said warn
Ingly. "You're saying some rather
harsh things."
He lauglu-d roughly. "It's hardly tho
time to mince matters," said he. "I'm
well aware that the tru'h Isn't always
pleasant to hear, but 1 think you'll ad
mit there are times whoa circum
stances warrant Its ' utterance. You
have known from the tirst that I was
honest and sincere. You knew I was
no trlfler. You might at least have let
me know from the outset that my caso
was hopeless Instead of dragging it on
In this wretched fashion."
The girl sighed patiently.
"I've merely tried to be nice? In a
friendly way," she protested.
"Oh, you've succeeded admirably,"
said he. "You've been very, very niie.
It was necessary to do that to keep me
in line, I suppose."
"Kindly be a trifle considerate," she
said coldly.
"Do you deserve consideration?" he
asked.
"Perhaps not," she saiil, witli a meet
ness that fauned the fires of hi- wrath.
"I tell you," he declared, "It's a dan
gerous game you piny, and koi e liito
It will go against you. There'll conic a
time when the glove will be on the oth
er hand. It's a long lane that has n.i
turning."
The rapid succession of metaphors
set her smiling again. Phe leaned for
ward in her chair.
"And at the turn of the lane? what
then?" she asked.
He frowned savagely at the fl:e.
"At the turn of the lane," said be,
"'you'll see It all from my present per
spective. You'll know what it 1 - t > love
honestly? only to provoke laughter."
She stroked the kitten thou^M'ully.
"Fritz," she said, with a l'tt!o note of
awe? whetlie.- real o:* inojking. h ? cjuII
not decide? in her voice, "you friglitcn
me."
"It will come," he said tiatly.
lie rose and picked lip his lint and
coat He loomed up tall ami forbid
ding in the dickering firelight.
"I'm going now," be said, "but be
fore 1 do I want to ask a favor of yqu.
Don't treat the uext 'hap as you've
treated me."
Barbara rose too. She spilled the
kitten on to the door and c.imc over to
Barrlngton's side.
"We're friends, aren't we:" she ask
ed anxiously.
"Yes, Ve're friends." lie sa!d.
"You won't forget me because of
this? you won't let this be a barrier
between us?" she asked.
He looked down at her mid smiled
slowly.
"We'll be friends," he said enigmat
ically.
The truth of the situation dawned
on her suddenly. It left her u trifle
dismayed.
"Y'ou don't mean you're not coming
here again? You don't mean you'll
avoid me?" she asked.
"I think It 1s the only wtiy to Insure
our friendship," suid he.
"Oh!" she said in sudden contrition.
He drew himself up with an effort
"Well, goodby," he said, holding out
his hand.
The girl seemed not to notice It
She leaned against n chair.
"Goodby!" he said again.
"Don't? don't go? like this," she said
In entreaty.
He looked at her que3tiouingly, then
strode to the door.
"Don't go!" she whispered weakly.
He turned. "Why not?" he demand
ed abruptly.
She flushed and hesitated. She saw
It was too late to retreat.
"Well." she said, looking Into the
Are, "there's a turn In the lane, you
know, and? and I think we've reached
it now, Fritz, dear."
