JUNEAU POLICE CHIEF IS
 PREPARING FOR YEcCMEN

In anticipation of an influx of criminals to Alaska, due to the drive to rid Outside cities of the thug element, Chief of Police Kee- gan, of Juneau, is taking steps to secure the cooperation of the feder- al authorities in Alaska and at the points of debarkation, to have every man coming into Alaska. inspected with a view to ascertaining their antecedents, and if not able to pre- vent them from coming to have each one accompanied by complete record of character, provided he has criminal record.
 The matter has beep taken up by every city in Alaska, says the Jun eau Daily Capital, with the idea of being able to keep tab on every vicious character coming into the country. "Such crimes as that of Monday night" points out the Cap ital. "when crew of alleged pirates arrived in Juneau after having, it is alleged, beaten up and robbed the owner of a gasboat and escaped from Petersburg, has awakened the authorities to the necessity of being prepared to cope with a possible flooding of the territory with des- perate characters"
 The paper says further that it is understood that citizens represent ative of the old-time Alaskan tradi- tions are ready to organize com mittees to aid the officials. The idea is to be prepared to back up the police authorities in an effort to check crime.
 It is urged as further precau- tion that high-powered sea-going patrol boats be stationed at the various coast towns, to be available at all times to run down such cases as the alleged Petersburg case.

EASTERN SCRIBE
 WRITES STORY ON
 NORTHERN ARREST

How far must one run to be a i fugitive from justice, with em-
 phasis on the from, asks George
 B. Waters, in a Washington, D. c.
 letter to a Seattle paper. Continu-
 ing. he says:
 Captain Charles J. Morgan, Camp
 Grant, H., civil engineer and world war hero, went all the way to the
 white land of Alaska. In that region of polar bears and caribou, Morgan
 betook himself to Broad Pass, 125
 miles south of Fairbanks.
 He was in one of the most se-
 ciuded spots in the Western hemis-
 phere, working as a rock and tur nel expert on the Government rail- road. He lived with his pal in log cabin; their only recreation was smoking their pipes and hunting.
 They seldom saw people, except other workmen on the railroad. Captain Morgan might still be leading that romantic, but rather quiet life, in the frozen region, only for the fact that in days gone by he had seen more exciting life
 that is, more bright lights and more complex civilization. Back in Sep. tember, 1919, Captain Morgan, It was alleged on an indictment that had accumulated dust at the national capital, had cashed a check at the Riggs National bank f.. S45O and,
 when tue check was sent to 4 Rockford, Ill.,, bank, on which it was drawn, there was no money to pay it. Walter E. Howe. an assist ant federal attorney. had endorsed lit for Morgan.

 But one day there came along a stranger, riding a sled and driving few dogs. He wasn't looking for anybody in particular. but always had his eyes peeled for everybody in general. He knew nothing about the dust-covered indictment in D. C.. and he didn't know Morgan. His name was Roy Darling, and he
 was an agent of the department of justice.
 He had a broad acquaintance with the pictures and characters that make up the population of the rogues' gallery. just as boy knows the faces in story books. In that gallery had appeared kodak picture-one that friend just hap pened to take of Captain Morgan while they were on boat going overseas. It was a small picture and gave dim outline of a man in uniform. But the keen eye of Darling glanced at the ruddy en- gineer and his mind flashed back to that kodak picture.
 "Who is that tall young fellow with brown eyes?" Darling asked one of the superintendents. That's Captain Morgan, one of best civil engineers. and want you to meet him." Darling was told. Darling drew a notebook from his
 pocket and glanced at the "fugi- tive" list
 "Yes, I want to meet him." he replied. They were introduced and Darling expressed regret at having to arrest him. That was August F.

HARDING GREETS
ACTOR BY CABLE

President Harding through Sec
retary of State Hughes yesterday
cabled his felicitations to James h.
Hackett, American actor, on the oc-
casion of his appearance at the
Odeon theater in Daris In the role
OF Macbeth. Hughes message fol-
lows:
The President, having learned
with much interest of the oficial
invitation extended to you by the
French government. through the
minister of foreign arts, to appear
at the Odeon theater. Paris, in the
character of Macbeth, in English,
desires me to convey to you his
felicitations, to which / add my
own, on this well-merited recogni-
tion Of your histrionic ability. The
President perceives as well in this
action of the French government an
implied compliment to the United
States of which he is duly appreci-
ative, and the fact that for the
first time, American, French and
British artists will appear togther
at national theater by Official in
vitation appeals to him as signifi-
cant of those ties by which the
peoples of the three countries are
bound in sympathetic fellowship.
We trust that your presentation of
this masterpiece of the great Eng
lish dramatist will be the forerun-
ner of many interchanges of dra-
matte talent between the United
States and France"

WOODCRAFT TIPS

what the old woodsmen call
back trail" 1t will help you
find your way back to the point
from which you started. and It
may be that you will thank your
lucky stars you were thoughtful
and careful enough to make it.
There are two methods of max
ing back trails. One is to
blaze" a tree every now and
then by cutting of pieces of
bark SO that the white shows up
conspicuously. Another way Is
to break easily seen twigs of
bushes and low trees as you pass
on your way.
The twig breaking-called a
crippled trail"-is to be advised,
for trees should not be damaged
any more than necessary and a
blazed trail may damage the
growth of a tree and certainly
does not improve its appearance.

CXXvuI-A PRoDIGAL HUs-
BAND.
Curtis Stanley disappeared for
three days following Nancy's re-
turn to the Stanley menage.
Nancy felt conscience-stricken
because his disappearance dated
from the evening when she had
dined with DR.. Langwell, instead of
having dinner with Stanley in ac-
cordance with her promise to Con-
ME.
She made every effort to find the
recaIcitrant one by calling mp all
his clubs and other haunts where
he might likely have sought di-
version. Finally. fearing that
Connie would ask to see him and
have to be told of his disappear
asee, she took Mai. Desmond into
her confidence.
The young oficer set out at once
TO turn the town over in an at
tempt to locate Stanley. He made
no promises to Nancy, but his quiet
assurance. so reminiscent of Gerry,
did much to comfort her.
For the first time since Gerry's de-
parture. she felt as IL there was
someone IN ntE "OAAN " ACoH
To her relief, Connie made no
mention Of Curtis. When she was
not sleeping, as she progressed
along the road to health, her MIND
was still with her beloved charity
bazaar. During visitors hour,
which Nancy contriyed to spend
with her each day, the conversation
was all about the forthcoming fete.
She would lie on her narrow nos
pitaI bed. propped up on pillows
which were little whittier than her
face, nervously twisting the plati-
mum chain around her throat
Apparently she had forgotten the
little incident of her first night in
the hospital when she had oegged
TO have the chain replaced, and
extracted from Nancy the promise
that it would not be removed, even
in the event of her death.
Nancy longed TO make some men
tion of it. but delicacy forbade and
she could only wonder what secret
hung heavily against Comics heart
at the end OF that frail chain.
On the third day. Maj. Desmond
arrived at the Stanley house with
Curtis in tow. He was a much
bedraggled Curtis who showed
plainly the results of three days dis
sipation. His unshaven face was
dull brick red and his eyes looked
tired and bIood-shot. His linen was
none too immaculate, and his suit
showed need of pressing.
Nancy. sitting before the nre In
the library. lowered the book she
had been reading. and looked at him
over its edge with disgust.
You're a fine looking sight TO
come into a decent Householder
He grinned sheepishly.
Now, know I'm home-you
sound just like connie"
I'm glad OF it," returned Nancy.
81 have no words to express my
scorn of a man who will disappear as
you have done, while his wife is
practically dying"
He slumped into a chair and lit
cigarette with a shaking hand.
oh. Comics all right. You
couldn't kill her. She'll want to
live just to be able to give me the
devil occasionally"
Nancy rose with dignity.
When you've made yourself pre-
sentable, should like to talk with
you further. You will please pre-
pare to dine at home tonight. at
Comics request. I'm having Peggy
Lewis and Maj. Desmond over. Is
it convenient for you. Major?'
She looked across at Desmond.
who had remained tactfully silent
after ushering Stanley into the room.

And Nancy knew that it was a
