follow. She went to the open front
doorway and stood there. leaning
against the sill, and gazing sadly out
at the shabby, tangled garden that
had sheltered all the safety and joy
and innocence of her little-girl days.

stand beside her, I'm so unhappy !"
Cherry, will you end it," he asked
her, huskily.
She gave him a startled look.
END it?" she faltered.
"Will you-do you think you are
brave enough to give everything else
up for me?' he asked.
''Peterl" said Cherry, hardly above
a breath.
"Will you go away with me?" Peter
went on, feverishly. That's the only

He had taken her hands, and they

noise made them step quickly apart.

HOW FIRE LOSSES
CAN BE REDUCED

This is Fire Prevention week an(
the U. S. department of agriculture
furnishes some valuable suggestions
and information concerning fire loss
es and their prevention, as follows, II
part:
Farm fires cost about 100000 0C
a year-$18,166,710 in 1918. OF
the fires that year, 33 per cent were
from causes classed as ~preventable,
81 per cen from partly preventable
causes, and 80 percent unknown but
believed to have been largely prevent
able. With inadequate fre-fghting
equipment on farms, fires are hard
to control. Prevention is the best
way to deal with them.
Defective chimneys and fues took
toll to the extent of $1,962,031;
sparks on roofs, $1,181,171; careless
use of matches by smokers and 9TH
ers, $1,071,987; petroleum and its
products, $732, OCT; and stoves, fur
naces, boilers, and their pipes, $674,-
968.
The largest item listed as partly
~preventable is lightning, $3,933,950.
Fire Prevention Week should be
made a special time for looking over
the premises to see that the buildings
are in the best practicable shape to
prevent and resist fire; that inham-
mable rubbish is cleared away; and
that habits of safety are instilled in
the handling of matches, stoves, and
kerosene and gasoline.
Gasoline has come to play such an
important part in farm life that spe-
cial care should be taken to see that
it is not stored in infammable build
ings, and is never opened in the pres
ence of uncovered flame.
Numerous disastrous fires are
caused by threshing machines, both
by scattered sparks and embers and
by dust explosions in the separators.
All smokestacks should have spark
arresters, and the ground around the
boiler should be kept clear and wet
down if necessary. Grain dust ex-
blossoms are largely ~preventable.
The United States Department of Ag-
riculture has made exhaustive stud
les of the subject and is prepared to
recommend adequate safeguards.
Serious losses are caused by sparks
from locomotives, which ignite dry
wooden single roofs and start many
fires in stubble, straw, and grass dur
ing dry seasons If a railroad runs
through the farm, it will pay to pillow
a few burrows along the right of way
as a fire break.
Kerosene lamps should be exam
ined to see that the burners are in
good condition, and should never be
left where they may be upset. kero-
sene and gasoline receptacles should
be kept apart and should be so differ
ent as to avoid possibility Of a mis-
take.
Ordinary friction matches should
be kept in safe receptacles, away
from children, and never carried
loose. Smoking in barns and garag-
es never should be permitted. Fire
marshals of Western States report
greater fire losses in grain and straw
matches, engine sparks and
automobile and tractor backfire, than
ever before.
Buildings may be made safer by
seeing that the. chimneys are with
out cracks and free of SCOT, which
nav take fire and scatter sparks on
lry roofs. Flues which may become
should be covered with asbestos
and any nearby walls and ceilings
protected. There should be a sheet
metal under every stove.

MESS WILL NOT BE OPENED
 IF LOCAL PRICES GO DOWN

The much-discussed matter of the reopening of the Commission mess in Nenana, for the benefit of the employes of the Alaskan Engineer ing Commission. and the rumoreI establishment of a cafeteria for employees and public, which caused considerable comment recently, was taken up with Col. H. P Warren, engineer in charge of the supply division of the A. E. C., for the pur- pose og getting definite data.
 Colonel Warren, who has been in touch with Chairman Mears regard ing the matter, has informed The News positively that the idea of establishing a cafeteria in Nenana, similar to the one at Anchorage, is a very remote one, to say the least; 1; and that the Alaskan Engineering Commission is not in favor of re- opening the mess here, unless com pelled to do 50.
 The action of the Commission will depend largely on whether or not the restaurants in Nenana will be able to arrive at some agreement whereby the employees of the Com mission will be enabled to obtain board at a lower rate than they are compelled to pay at the present time
 In any event, the cafeteria will not be opened, but if conditions compel the Commission to reopen the mess here as a measure of re- lief, it will be strictly for the em- ployes of the Commission.
 With the commencement of rail road and bridge work next spring, a large force of men will be em-

SAYS CARIBOU
 ARE ON THE INCREASE

According to Game Warden ]. II. BurrowE, who is spending the holi- days. in Nerana, the vast caribou herds, whose natural habitat is in the region at the headwaters of the many streams tributary to the Kan tishna river, are steadily on the in- crease. He says they are more num- erous and in better condition now that at any period during the last seven years, at least. From about ten miles out from Nenana, on the shortcut trail, to the Dahl mount ain region, caribou in herds of more than thousand each, can be met with. From all reports received. there is not a single COW in the herds without a calf, some having twins. These caribou are of the Woodland species and are slightly larger than the Barren Land cari- bou that roam the Arctic slope.
 Moose, the game warden says, are also more plentiful than in former years, and the reports indi- cate that there is a different species of moose in the country this year. These animals are said to be some what smaller than the moose ordi- narily seen, and their presence in the country and their habits will be investigated. MT. Nitric, of the Biological department, who is now in Fairbanks, probably will accom- rany Mir. Burrows into the McKjn- ley Park region early next year for the purpose of studying and class flying the animals.
