AERO ALARMS WILL BE PUT
 ON ALASKA 5. 5. cos BOATS

The seventeen or more boats of the Alaska s. s. Company will be immediately equipped with aero fire alarms. The equipment has been ordered by President Baxter. The Alameda and MaripOsa will be the first steamers to be equipped with the invention.
 The aero alarm works on thermCstatic principle. Should a conflagration start in any part of the ship the rise in temperature causes the fuse wires of the system to burn cut resulting in the sound ing of an alarm on an indicator i'll the pilot house whereby the exact location of the fire may be readily traced. It is not necessary with the new system to wait fer a fire to gain headway and the officers to smell the smoke to know that a fire is aboard, as has been the GUS tom in the past. The Great Nor theru and Northern Pacific steamers are equipped with this invention.

MISSING MEN
 ARE GIVEN UP

A search for two prospectors from Juneau, which has been made by the Coast Guard ship Unalga along the coast from Yakutnt to Haka taga Point has proven unsuccessful ana the men have been given up as missing.
 J. G. Johnston and Jerry Me Graw who left Juneau last August to prospect in the vicinity of Icy Bay, are the two men. Since their arrival at Icy Bay on September lst' they have not been seen and no trace of them can be found.
 McGraw and Johnston left Jul neau last August and on August 2Sth left Yakutat for Icy Bay to prospect. A Yakutat they gave our that they were looking for location for cold storage plant for the New England Fishing Con- uany, but their real object was gold On September 1st they reached Icy Bay and established their camp. At that time George Felton and Chas. Wittsen, of Yakataga, were with them and helped them to get set tied.
 Wheu Wittsell and Felton left they fold the men if they had to come out to take the trail to Yakataga and pointed it out to them. The men were warnde not to attemp. to make the trip in their dory as the water along that coast is very treacherous and there is no harbor for many miles.
 One of the fishing boats of the 1 New England Company went into Icy Bay with supplies for the men during the winter, but were unable to locate them. On Janu- ary 18th Felton and Wittsell again visited the camp of the men and found it deserted. It had been deserted about month at that
 time.
 On January 27th, the Unalga Her Yakutat and visited Icy Bay Isbe crulsed along the shore as | far as Yakataga Point looking TOT the men but were unable to find lanv trace of them. The supposi- ton is that the two either thought they could make it all right Ill
 their dory, or that one of the men
 was i'll or hurt which made it i'm possible for them to walk out. The distance from Icy Bay to Nakataga Iis about 40 miles and there is a good trail the entire distance.
 Both men are well known in Southeastern Alaska. Johnston ha been around Juneau for number
 of years and at one time was a

by a choking, inarticulate cry, came,

But the voice was the voice of Helen

to superactivity. Then, leaping, be

Door after door he threw open cry

Clutching dizzily at the pedestal of
the dragon he cried at the top of his

"Here, M. MAXI he was answered.

It was Gianapolis who spoke.
Max hurled himself through the door

of his leap. He turned, leaped on, and
one of the panels was slightly ajar.
1t was a masked door. Within was

Of a great turmoil, as of wild beasts

Max kicked the door fully open and
flashed the ray of the torch into the

classic statuary, was to remain etched
indelibly upon his mind.
Helen Cumberly lay, her head and

striving TO wrench the latter's fingers
from her throat, in the white skin of

"Pardieur' he muttered. 1T is I'm

Though the light was still burning
in this room. the corridor outside was
in darkness. He pressed the button of
the ingenious lamp, which was also a
watch, and made for the door commu-
nicating with the cave of the dragon.
It was readily to be detected by reason
Of its visible handle, the other doors
being externally indistinguishable from
the rest of the mating covered wall.
The cave of the dragon proved to be
empty and in darkness. He ran across
it's polished floor and opened at random
the door Immediately facing him. A
corridor similar to the one which he
had just quilted was revealed. Anoth-
er door was visible at one end, and to
this he ran, pulled it open, stepped
through the opening and found him
self back in the cave of the dragon!
''Morbleu!" he muttered. ''Tt is be-
wildering-this!"
Yet another door, this time one of
ebony, he opened, and yet another mat
ting lined corridor presented itself to
his gaze. He swept it with the ray
of the little lamp, detected a door,
opened it and entered a similar suit
to those with which he already was
familiar. It was empty; but, unlike
the one which he himself had tenant

voice barely audible as Max burst
into the room. "She came back for
this and l followed her. She has the
strength of tigress!'
Max hurled himself into the melee,
grasping the wrist of the Eurasian be-
low where it was clutched by Gianapo-
lis. Nodding to the Greek to release
his hold, he twisted it smartly upward.
The dagger fell upon the floor, and
with an animal shrek Of rage the
Eurasian tottered back. Max caught
her about the waist and tossed her
unceremoniously into a corner of the
room.

The construction of the metal bunk

in the adjoining bathroom there was
metal towel rail, nickeled, and, with
heavy knob at either end, attached by
two brackets to the wall.
He ran into the inner room and ca
gerly examined these fastenings. They
were attached by small steel screws.
In an instant he was at work with the
blade of his pocketknife. Six screws
in all were to be dealt with, three at

He managed to unscrew one Of the

placing the knob, he weighed the bar
