SEVENTH EPISODE
fTHE HOODED HELPER"

Margery Golden's serenely self
willed Aunt Agatha disliked animals
almost as much as she disllked mys-
teries. And about her tranquil Ce-
dar home she felt were transporting
events altogether too inexplicable to
remain long to her liking.
SO when Hannah, the plump but less
predetermined caretaker OF that
erstwhile abode OF tranquility. trem-
ulously announced that a stranger in
a yellow mask had left n bright-col-
ored parrot, answering TO the name OF
Tito, at the door for Miss Margery,
the bird in question was viewed with
open disfavor. and Margery was sub
jected to many disturbing interroga-
tions.
None OF the girls answers proving
satisfactory, however, her flrm-willed
maiden aunt proposed that they pro-
coed with their interrupted game OF
Preference" But a green parrots In
stinct and enigmatlc cry OF Look
out for the Iron Claw" proved In no
way consistent with so tranquilizing
a game, and the owner OF the house
finally and firmly commanded the de-
parting Hannah who slept out" TO
carry the disturbing creature of to
her own cottage for the night.
This Hannah did. with much mum
bling, and deposited it in her chicken
coop.
There Tito would have spent quiet
and uneventful night, in all likelihood,
had not certain mildly-predacious
negress answering TO the name OF
Jemima Watson, returned all but
empty-handed to her suburban home.
For one OF the by-products OF this
dusky ladys activities as a scrub
woman was the gathering OF those
trifles which find their way to the
waste baskets and refuse cans OF Of
flee buildings. And her only harvest,
on this occasion, was half portion
OF a time-yellowed code chart and
map, which had blown from the dizzy
balcony OF the Central Tower building.

MC0RMACK SAYS
 WRANGELL HAVING PROSPEROUS TIME
King Salmon Run Is On and Prices Paid Are TopnotChers, Mines
 Developing.

P. c. Mccormack, of Wrangell, who according to the reported vote is among the four leading men for the Legislature, accompanied by Mrs. Mccormack was in Juneau for a short business trip yesterday. Mrs. Mccormack is not well and came north for medical attention. She will remain here for probably the next month.
 Mir. Mccormack reports that Wran- gell is prosperous this year as the King salmon have started 10 run and this year are bringing a good price. Halibut is also high and with the development work being done on the Ground Hog Basin claims, Wran- gen Is much more prosperous than 1t was last year.
 "King salmon are high this year" said Mir. Mccormack "The run has just started and 1t is several weeks earlier than usual. The fishermen are receiving a good price. in some cases the fish bring as high as nine cents per pound which is very good.''
 There are about 20 men working at Ground Hog Basin this winter, which helps Wrangell considerably. The property is classed as a low grade gold property. J. c. Calvin. the manager of the company, left for the south recently to make arrange ments for continuing the work and it is hoped in Wrangen that the mine will show up to expectations, as 1t will add considerable to the resources Of the Wrangell district"
 Mir. Mccormack left for the south again this morning to attend to his business interests in the southern city.
