SEWARD WINS
Skagway's mayor manager put one
over on the tans about that sly trick
of roping the star twirler of Seward,
for in tlie line-up yesterday he was
there with the soldier lads ? all to the
good too.
For the third consecutive spasm,
the local ball-tossors have met the
enemy, and for the same number of
times have they gone down to igno
minious defeat. The boys keep try
ing all the time but somehow hick
and tack of confidence defeat aU ef
forts at team work.
Fort Seward yesterday threw the
scare into Skagway's braves right off
the reel by annexing 3 rums in the
first half Skagway got a goose egg
for her share. Neither scored in the
second, but Seward got one in the
third and one in the fourth, while
Skagway kept piling up the same rec
ord. In the fifth the soldiers couldn't
Jo anything and Skagway in a burst
of energy slipped two across and ev
erybody sat up looking for things.
But, it was nothing but a flash. The
sixth and seventh innings passed ovrfi
without adding anything to the rim
getting. Then to make doubly sure
Fort Seward placed two more notches
in her side of the stick in the Sth,
where the soldier boys rested content
Skagway had no further look in. Th
tragedy was over and then everybody
collected in bunches to hold the post
Stoi kton is a jewel, and Tanner
should have carried out his threat
to rope him? not that he was needed,
but to keep the Seward boys from
having him.
Ix>uis Rapuzzi pitched a star game
also, but had poor support in the
pinches.
Cleom Ask made the biggest and
best hit, driving the ball hrto the
creek, annexing two bases as a con
sequence.

A LOVER'S
TEST
By MARGARET KELLY
Copyright by American Pr*?? Au?
ctatlon. 1911
In Constuutiuople there ouce Lived a
yonng girl whose fa (her and mother,
dying, had left her a snug fortune.
Moreover, her parents being dead, she
was at liberty to choose a husband
for herself.
Now, Katima? tbnt was the girl's
name? was very particular about one
thing In the man who should be her
husband. She wished him to be a
brave man. Su|>erstltlon at that time
hung like a pall upon the Turks as
well as the Christian*. But Katima
was more enlightened than other* and
had a contempt for any young man
who would be terror stricken at a sup
posed apparition.
Three lovers sought Iter lutnd. To
the tlrst she stud: ",\h hither last
night appeared lo uie lu u dream and
told me that If I would send one
whom 1 thought of marrying to the
sepulcher lu the ceui. tery where his
body and those of others ot our fami
ly lie he would ap|x?ar 10 the suitor
and give me to him. tio there and re
ceive me from my -father, and In the
morning return to me. Then 1 will
marry you."
Tho young man, whose name was
Abdallah. reluctantly accepted the Bit
nation and said that be would go to
the sepulcher as soon as It was dark
and wait for the ghost's appearance.
Then Fctlina told the second lover,
ITamld, what she bad done, adding
that If he would go to the sepulcher
and appear to Abdallah as a ghost
ond scare him away she would accept
Hamld for her husband. Hamld was
quite pleased at what he considered
au easy way to get a rich wife and
agreed to abide by the result of his
effort.
The third suitor. Blsmlllah. was an
Independent fellow, and Fatlma prefer
red him to either of the others. She
told him of tire arrangement she had
made with them and said that she
would also give htm a chance for her
hand Whoever of the three was found
in the sepulcher In the morning she
would marry.
"Nonsense! replied Rlsmiiian. i m
not going to mnke a guy of myself by
sleeping In n tomb."
"Oh. 1 thought yon loved me." re
plied Fatlma
"So I do. but not well enough to risk
my life by remaining nil night In a
cold sepulcher. What good would It do
me to win n wife and die?"
"It Is very plain." said Fatlma. "that
you do not love me."
"1 don't call love giving way to a
whim."
"It Is not a whim; It Is a test."
"Very well, test these other men. I
bave no mind to enter such an absurd
competition."
He turned on his heel and left her.
She was very much disappointed She
had given her word to the other two
to marry the one who should fulfill the
conditions, relying on Blsmlllnh. whom
she knew to be brave and free from
superstitions, to occupy the sepulcher
and thus win her. His refusal upset
ail her plans and would give her a
husband she did not wlsb to marry.
She lay awake all night bemoaning
the miscarriage of her plan and think
ing how foolish she had been to un
dertake It. She knew Blsmlllah would
not fear to remain all night In any
uncanny place, and she respected him
for not being willing to win her In
such fashion. Besides, his Indifference
only made her more anxious to haTe
him for her husband
She fretted over the matter till just
before dawn, when she determined to
go herself and try to frighten away
the suitors she did not wish to marry.
Dressing herself, she wound a sheet
about her and hurried to the ceme
tery. Approaching the sepulcher of
her ancestors, she heard a sound and
stopped to listen. Could It be a snore?
Surely It was a snore. One of the
men she had sent there had got rid
of the other, gone Into the sepulcher
and fallen asleep.
All now depended on Fatima's fright
ening away the man In the sepulcher.
The moon had risen, and there waB
light enough from this and the coming
of dawn for her to be distinctly seen,
though It was too dark for her to see
the man in the sepulcher. Standing
before the door, which was open, she
gave a shriek. There was a sound as
of some one turning, the creaking of
some sort of a bed. and a voice came:
"Go away from here and cease to
disturb my slumber."
"Leave this abode of the dead," said
Fatlma In a sepulchral voice, "or 1
will drag you with me to Tartarus."
"That would please me greatly," re
plied the voice Inside. "By coming
here 1 have put myself in an unpleas
ant position. A girl told me that If I
rould occupy this place till morning
she would marry me. I refused; then,
lest she should think me cowardly. I
tame I brought my bed with me and
|-ove away two fools 1 found here.
N'ow I suppose 1 shall have to marry
this girl. I would prefer going wltb
you to Tartarus."
There was silence for a few mo
ments. theu Fatlma gave a sob. then
a laugh, and Blsmlllah. who knew
froui the first it was she, sprang from
the cot he occupied, took her Id his
urms and checked her sobs and her
laughter with kisses.
Then, taking up his bed, he carried
It, walking home beside her.
There wasn't any trouble about her
choosing a lover after that The two
other suitors took a back seat, and
Blsmlllah occuped the only front one.

HOW TO BECOME INVISIBLE.
A Sample of the Mummery Ueed In
Ancient Witchcraft.
Some curious formulas of ancient
witchcraft nre given In Mr. A. E.
Wa lie's "Hook of Ceremonial Magic."
Here is a recipe for bei-onilng Invis
ible:
"Begin this operation on a Wednes
day before the suu rise*, being fur
nished with seven black beans. Take
next the head of a dead man Place
one of the beiins In bis mouth, two In
bla eyes and two In bis ears. Then
make apon the head the character of
the figure which here follows. (Omit
ted.) This done. Inter the bead with
the face toward heaven, and every day
before sunrise for the space of nine
days water It with excellent brandy.
"On tbe eighth day you will find the
rlted spirit, who will say unto you:
'What doest thou?" Yon shall reply: 'I
am watering my plant' Lie will then
say: "Give me that bottle; 1 will water
It myself." Tou will answer by refus
ing. and be will again ask you, but
you will persist In declining until be
shall stretch fortb UN band and show
you the snine figure which you have
traced upon the head suspended from
the tips of his fingers. In this case
you may be assured that It Is really
tbe spirit of tbe head, because another
might take yon unawares, which
would bring you evil. and. further,
your operation would be unfruitful.
When you have given him your vial
he will water the head and depart
On tbe morrow, which Is tbe ninth
day. you shall return and shall find
your benns ripe. Take tbem, place
one In your mouth and then look st
yiurself In a glass. If you cannot see
yourself It is good. Do the same with
the rest or they may be tested In the
mouth of a child."
ESKIMO WIDOWERS.
8lx Weeki Is the Limit They Will Wait :
Before Remarrying.
In civilization It is said that a wife
does not always add to her husband's
ease or render Ills life more supports
ble, but up on tbe barren grounds tbe
worst of wives would be better than
none.
There, among the heathen tribes. If a
man's wife dies? provided he Is not
a polygamist. in which case, says the
Wide World, there is less need for
hurry? he often marries again within
the week.
Even the Christian Eskimo widower*
are with difficulty persuaded by tbe
Moravian missionaries to allow six
weeks to elapse between the death and
remarriage. On the very day after
the six weeks have lapsed the hnnter
presents himself with a new bride and
asks that the marriage service may he
speedily read.
The reason Is not far to seek. It Is
said In civilization that "a woman's
work Is never done," and far more Is
that true of the helpmate of the sav
age and tbe semi-savage, the woman
of the barren grounds or of the Ice
edge. She makes and breaks camp,
cooks, cuts up and carries to camp her
bnsband's kill. She dresses the skin*
of deer and seaL
She Is responsible for tbe fashioning
of footgear and clothes. On a journey
ahe often paddles the canoe, and on
portage ahe carries a heavy load. In
fact. It Is easier to write down the du
ties not expected of n squaw than
those which by immemorial custom
she must perform.
