some news.

6-THE WORK OF THE OPERATOR

The telephone operator is train
ed to give quick and accurate SER
vice. That is what the public pays
for and expects; it is what we are
in business to furnish. It is i'm
possible, we realize, to attain per-
lection. We do employ every rea-
sonable means known to the art of
telephony to approximate perfec-
ton. There are inevitable crush
es" in emergencies which even
such careful provision and super
vision will not care for in a per-
feet manner. But such emergen-
cies are, and should be, of rare oc-
currence. We do give efficient
service and if you will hold a stop
watch in your hand you will find
that the space of time which seems
like minutes to you is only a very
few seconds.
During certain hours of the day

is the number of calls, is abnor-
mally large. These rush periods
are known as "busy hours" and
we take the precaution, in adj
vance, to prepare for these rushes

time, except when some unusual

two or three "drops" fall stimuli

the operator on each side handles
some of them. So there is no pos

SdZCo EidlHCs
her Her niece, Elaine's cousin Mary
Brown, who lived at Rockledge, had
come into the city to comfort Aunt
Josephine, and they had been sitting
that morning in the library.
Suddenly a startled cry from Jen-
nings out in the hall caused both la
dies to jump to their feet. They could
scarcely believe what they heard as
the faithful old butler cried out the
name.
Why Miss Elainel" he gasped
An instant later Elaine herself burst
into the room and flung herself into
Aunt Josephine's arms. All talking
and half crying from joy at once, they
crowded about her.
In the excitement Aunt Josephine
had seized the telephone and called
our number. She did not even wait to
break the good news, but handed the
telephone to Elaine herself.
We left the laboratory or the run,
too fast to notice that just around the
building line at the corner stood linn
CUISINE with shades drawn. Even II
we had paused to glance back we
could not have seen WI Fang ard
Long Sin inside gazing out through
the corner of the curtains. They were
in European dress now, and had evil
IDENTIFY come prepared for just what
they knew was likely to happen.
We were admitted by the faithful
Jennings and almost ran into the IL
brary
ooh, Craig!' cried Elaine, as Ken
nedy, almost speeches., seized her by
both hands
For few seconds none of us could
speak. Then followed veritable food
of eager conversation.
won't you come and stay with
me few days up in the country,
dear?" urged Mary at last.
Elaine thought a moment, then
turned to Aunt Josephine.
YES" considered her aunt, 81 think
it would do you good"
Still she hesitated, then shyly looked
at Kennedy and laughed. You, too,
Craig, must be tagged out" she said,
frankly. Come up there with US and
take a rest
Kennedy smiled. 81 shall be de-
lighted" he accepted promptly.
We chatted, then left a few mo-
ments later SO that Kennedy could
pack.
Around the corner from the Iabora-
tory, as we dashed out, had been, as
l have said, WI Fang and Long Sin
looking out from the limousine. No
sooner had we disappeared across the
campus than their driver started up
the car and they sped around to our
apartment
Cautiously they alighted and walked
down the street. Then, making sure
they were not observed. they entered
and mounted the stairs to our door
way. Long Sin was stationed down
the hall on guard, while WI Fang drew
from his pocket blank key, file and
a candle. He lighted the candle and
held the key in its flame until it was
covered with SCOT.
Then he inserted the key into the
keyhole, turned it and took the key
out. He filed the key, trying it again
and again. Finally he finished and
opened the door. Reckoning Long Sin
he entered our room.
/ AS they stood there WI Fang gazed
about our living room keenly. He was

phone It seemed to suggest an idea

Local interests in the soft

asserted that prices viii 20

The explanation Tor this op-
simistic view Is that with Ger

ALASKA STEAMSHIP C0.
 CHARTERS TWO VESSELS

Two important charters were an nounced when the Alaska Steamship Co. took over the Elihu Thompson of the Pacific Cold Storage Co.,, and the Pavlof of the Pacific American Fish cries, the two vessels being engaged for one trip each, carrying cannery supplies and miscellaneous freight to points in Southeastern Alaska and re- turning with miscellaneous cargo. When General Freight and Passenger Agent John H. Bunch, of the Alaska Steamship Co.,, realized the unusual spurt in Alaska traffic, coming simul- taneously on the Boring Sea route, Cook Inlet route and southeastern route, 1t was deemed most necessary to take care of the contract cannery business in Southeastern Alaska. Heretofore there have been ample yes sells to take care of this class of busi- ness but owing to the unusual rush the canneries would have suffered and the company merely chartered these yes sells for one trip each to make good with their contracts. At any time this fall when it is again found necessary to protect the company's contract freight, additional charters may be an. nounced
 In the past history of Alaska traffic. while the rush Is on to the westward it is dull in Southeastern Alaska and vice versa but this year both sections have developed new traffic at the same time and offerings to Kotzebue Sound and Boring Sea have been so heavy that the entire fleet has been constant. ly in service.

They were passing the holiday at
Onset and during the course of the
sunny afternoon took a stroll on the
beach. At one point they came upon
an improved breakwater. where
some resident had filled bags with
sand and piled them in breastworks

croaching upon his land during the
stormy season.
One of the young ladies was curious
Immediately. She would know what
the bags were for.
why, it's very simple" explained
her companion with due gravity. "The
water in Onset bay originally was
fresh, popularity of nature which
has puzzled scientists. 1t seemed too
bad to deprive the place of seashore
advantages, so the government took
the matter in hand, filled the bags
with salt and thereby has impaired
the proper flavor to Onset water"

fresh" she is now telling her friends
