FORTUNE IN ALASKA ANG0RAS

Is the Claim Made by Enthusi-
astic Booster.

Angora goats for Alaska is the lat
est stunt for the development Of the
resources Of the northern territory.
1t is the plan of Judge Martin F.
Moran, representative of the territori-
al legislature from the Kobuk district.
Judge Moran few days ago out
lined his plans for importing a herd
of Angora goats in Alaska, to feed
on reindeer moss, which grows so
plentifully on the tundra of western
and northern Alaska. The northern
legislator sees a future In the An
CORA industry, with vast profits for
the men with the initiative and dar
ing to undertake the venture.
Down in Oregon" said Judge Nor.
an, there is an Angora ranch that Is
making a fortune for its owner. The
war has cut down the importation OF
Angora wool, and 1t is up to the few
American ranches to supply all the
needs of mohair manufacturers. An
CORA wool is staple product; it
brings from 81 to IS pound raw.

fellows ring for the girl l love-" Bob
admitted. But it's the only way ]
can see here!"
Suddenly he heard voices coming
down the patch from the house. He
stepped back among the shrubs until
the people should pass. when he heard
Violet herself exclaim: Let US sit
here on the bench, father, and wait
for the car. It won't be along for I'VE
minutes and I'm so afraid of missing
someone who might come to return
dear Jacks ring.
Then she began to cry. ITS dread
full to lose 1t. just loved it,"
Bob felt queer. II Violet loved the
other fellow like that. what use was
there for him to try to see her any
way? He was not proud Of the part
he was playing. He decided that as
soon as Violet and her father departed
he would leave the place forever.
But, as fate would have 1t, Just as
soon as Bob gave up the idea of find
ing the ring the ring found him. He
didn't know 1t, of course. when he
picked up the soggy rag doll that had
lain out all night under the bushes.
but. turning 1t over, he discovered
something on a piece of string around
the dolls neck. It was Violet's en-
gagement ring, the ring her beloved
Jack had given her!
Bob slipped dolly's finery into his
pocket and waited for the occupants
Of the bench to depart. That evening
he called her on the telephone.
Good evening, Miss Larimar. This
is Robert Hale. Do you remember
me?"
Indeed, yes!" came back in sur
prised tones. II could hardly have for
gotten you so soon, Mr.. Hale"
Il saw your advertisement in the
paper and have the pleasure Of in
forming you that have found dia-
mond ring which may be yours. am
sending 1t to you by registered mail"
He said 1t as formally as possible,
wondering II the transmitter would
convey the hammering of his heart.
How perfectly grand! I'll be so
glad to get it back, If 1t really is
mine. But can't you bring 1t out ?
Why send it? Would 1t be very much
trouble?'
Was he dreaming. or we're her
words trifle wistful?
"Why, yes! That is, thank you
very much, but you see-I mean, what
will Jack say"
"Jack?"
Eyes. Jack, who gave you the ring?"
Silence for an instant, then peals of
merry laughter. Jack Is my brother,
my sailor brother. Really, he won't
care II you come to see me, Mr.. Hale. "
Bob gasped. But you wore It on
your engagement finger!"
I'VE girls often do that to scare on
men patients who are apt to think
they are in love with their nurses.
It saves so much trouble"

and saw the river dashing below. It
was over the siding tracks now and

told her the food was booming down
the valley and the tracks were going

and q semaphore on the other. The

said there wasn't time. The express
was on the way up. And then Bel

to say, all that she was to him. And
she called back Just this:

the first big town south, asking help
for Sweetwater and the express.
Through the slow, dread hours till
dawn broke he sat head down on his
arms at his table. Yet she had told
him to stick and he lived up to her

that came up the. valley, warning
each town along the river, stopping
each train at the points of safety, as
she would have begged him to do.

That was the beginning for Bellamy.
All his life he remembered the picture
