I "Love's Expedient" j
? t,
(Original]
From the time Mama Fort! was a
little girl she was given to understand
that she was to marry a rich uiau. The
disadvantages of poverty and the ad
vantages of wealth were drummed Into
her ears till it was supposed that she
had learned her lesson well. She was
ii quiet, obedient girl, and as she was
attractive her mother had great hopes
of at least seeing her the wife of ei
ther a practical business man or the
heir to an estate. Mareia knew that a
union with a scholar, a plodding physi
cian, clergyman or even a lawyer
would t>e forbidden. As to one who
followed the tine arts for a living. Mrs.
Ford would put her daughter l>eliitul
bare rather than permit her to marry
one of them.
Several men either or means or neirs
to means l>ec?nie suitors for the girl's
hand, hut she cave uo assurance that
she would choose between them. Then
her mother received a shock. She dis
covered that her daughter was corre
spondluc with some one who signed
himself "Arthur." and this is all the
clew she had to his identity. Con
fronting her daughter with the evi
dence of her disot>ed!euoe. she demand
ed to know who Arthur w^s. Marcia
declined to enlighten her The mother
stormed and pleaded and. finding her
daughter obdurate, shut her up anil
hired a duenna to divide the watch.
Marcia made no effort to leave the
house, and. though the two Jailers
watched with the greatest care, they
did not discover that the prisoner was
attempt l: to communicate with any
oue. Wivks. months, ptfssed. while
Marcia was the same obedient girl she
had always !>ecn except that she would
not reveal the identity of her lover.
But so long as she refused her promise
to give him up Mrs. Ford would not
relas her watchfulness.
No uien except such as brought suit
phi's :?> the house were permitted to
come upon the premises. Mrs. Ford
offered to permit her daughter to see
such visitors as she herself might ap
prove of. but Marcia said that if she
could not receive whom she pleased she
did not care to see any one.
One spring, when the demon of house
cleaning enters Into all good house
keepers. Mrs. Ford determined to give
her house a thorough overhauling. Pa
pering was needed, but new paper
would not match old paint, and the
lady decided to have the painting done
tirst. She meditated going to the
country while the decorations were be
ing made, but for two n-asous decided
to remain at home. In the flrst place,
she wished to superintend the work
herself, and. In the second, she dared
not take her daughter u here she could
not as well watch her as at houie.
Since if was at t!ie height of the sea
son for reuovating dwelling houses,
but one i-ainter was set tu work. Mrs.
Ford seeui>-d afraid .>f a man coming
luto her houie. ev.-u a house paiuter.
and ful lowed him about under pre
tense of seeiug that he did his work
properly. He did not do it to suit her.
but was very obliging, and when he
had paiuted a room a color that clash
ed with another room opening into It
agreed to do it all over agaiu, taking
the loss upon himself.
"Are you a Journeyman?" asked Mrs.
Ford.
"I have been a painter five years."
replied the man meekly.
"Well." added the lady, much an
noyed at the delay and the position she
was placed in. "you will never make a
living with the brush You have no
idea of the harmony of colors. Paint
the room o\er. and I will divide the
loss of tirue with you "
With marked good nature and pa
tleuce the man painted t'je room over,
but so slowly that by niuht he had not
half finished It. >lrs. Ford telephoned
to Uis employer to send the next day a
man who knew his business, but the
proprietor replied that lie liad not an
other rnau to spare. So the next morn
Ins the Imbecile appeared anil went to
work again. Wheu he hail finished the
room he had first spoiled the colors
were a dream of harmony, and when
Mrs. Ford went In to loot at it she
was surprised to see a decoration she
had not bargained for. There was a
little niche in the room from which a
rosy cupid smiled at her.
"I >'d you do that V she asked of the
laborer.
"Yes. ma'am. 1 know how to paint
signs."
?It's very pretty, but 1 don't want it
there. Paint it out."
The man. apparently not the least
sensible to the want of appreciation of
his work, ran his brush over it and be
gan to paint the next room.
When the painter was fathering U[>
his brushes to leave the lady inspected
his work aud found it had been done so
badly that she was quite beside her
self. She stormed and threatened, and
between her wrath aud the painter's
explanations in defense of his work
she was kept some time. When the
painter had departed she went to find
her daughter.
The bird had flown.
Mrs. Ford was without knowledge as
to where the fugitive had gone till the
next morning, when she saw a notice
In a paper that Arthur Parke, the ris
ing young artist whose picture "Love's
Expedient" had been recently sold foi
an enormous sum, had married Miss
Marcla Ford, the daughter of Mrs. Pe
ter Ford of M square. How the
lover managed to communicate with
Marcia and the two set the trap for her
she never knew. The girl had bribed a
newsboy who left papers at the house
to take several notes to her lover, in
one of which she mentioned the pro
posed improvements, but when her
lover appeared in the guise of a house
painter she was greatly surprised.

HIS SIDE
Hakill Tells His Story In
Defense
|
I It is a rule of the Daily Alaskan not
to publish anything with reference to
petty disputes between people except
j that it be brought out by pleadings or
| sworn testimony in proceedings in court
i However, the ease of Mr. and Mrs
D. N. Hukill, who were charged with
assault and battery by a grand jury by
an indictment which was dismissed the
o'har day because cf the absence of the
prosecuting witness, seems to be one
where this rule should t>e waived. The
charge against the Hukills have been
made public as well as some of the evi
dence upon which the charge rested.
The manner of the dismissal of the
case was not an exoneration for them.
It was simply because there was no one
present upon whom the prosecution
could rely to prove its charges. Its dis
missal deprived the accused of an op
j portunity to make any explanations,
and. in a spirit of fairness, the Daily
Alaskan will give the story as Mr.
Hukill says it is and as he says he would
have presented it to a jury had he been
I given an opportunity.
| To begin with the beginning of his
[troubles, .Mr. Hukill denies that C. L.
Payne ever owned the property that
was in dispute between them. He says,
however, if Payne ever had a right to
its possession he abandoned that right
when he went to Valdez and lived sev
eral years. To substantiate this claim,
he says, he has ? letter from the secre
tary of the interior which says one can't
hold properly belonging to the govern
ment for "speculative purposes " Mr.
Hu'.ill has paid all the taxes on the
i property, he says, that ever has been
I paid.
Mr. Hukill says lhat when Mr. Payne
returned to Skagwav, after an absence
of several years and claimed the prop
erty in dispute, he offered him $100 for
hts claim. This, Mr. Hukill thinks, is
more than tl e property was worth. He
was disposed to he libera', he says, be
cause he had chickens, chicken houses,
incubators and other uroperty upon it
which he did cot desire to remove.
This being refused, Mr. Hukill says, he
offered to arbitrate nil the differences
between them. It was only when all
these efforts at peace failed, says Mr.
Hukill, that he, acting under the advice
of a lawyer, tried to bold his property
aad to prevent Mr. Payne from taking
forceable possession of it.
As to the specific charge of essault
and battery, Mr. Hukill denies that
there vai any. He says he was attack
ed by Mr. Payne and used ooly such
force in opposition as was necessary for
his self-defence. He denies emphatic
ally that Mrs Hukill threw hot water
upon Mr. Payne. He savs in all their
troubles Mr. Payne was at all times the
aggressor.
