scured everything else in the eyes Of
Gehazi.. What an old fool Elisha is,
he said to himself. "I'll hike out
after Naaman and make him come
across with the dough-" And he was
as good as his word. Catching up
! with Naaman he managed, by the
help of lie, to get two talents out

GehaZi no good. Elisha, learning Of
his assistants action, got mad in the

Those Blonde Esk;n,os

@APTAIN JOE BERNARD has returned
to Nome, Alaska, after four years in
the frozen silences that rim the
Pole. Captain Joe spent this period in
search of blonde Eskimos He failed. Either
Stefansson, who found blonde Eskimos ex-
hausted the crop or all blondes were out
when he called, says Captain Joe. 'The
only Eskimos I saw" he asserts, "were
brunettes!"
While one sympathizes deeply with Cap
tain Joe in his disappointment, ones pity
is tempered by the unavoidable feeling that
Captain Joe's mission, his gruelling four
years amid polar hardships his indomitable
persistency in the face of brunette after
brunette, might have had a more worthy
object as the goal. Were he even seeking
blue roses or the Golden Fleece, Their would
hav been a halo of romance surrounding
the journey to excuse it's impractibility. One
can understand the sordid greed for gold
animating the treasure hunters on the Span
ish main; one can feel the stir of fellow
feeling for Ponce de Leon, though he scarce
concur in Juan's conviction that somewhere
on this prosy earth bubbles a fountain of
eternal youth. But blonde Esklmos-there
is far different inspiration to send man

suffering frozen feet and numbed ears and
noses.
Verify, Captain Joe is person of odd
hobbys. Better men than he have been
known to seek blondes, yet even they did
not deem it necessary to travel thousands
of miles into a region of ice and snow on
their hunt. Put blonde Eskimos re-
peat-surely Captain Joe's explorations are
more worthy of chroniciling than are their
reason!
