said respectfully.
This courtesy, from q beautiful
young woman to an old one, always an
tagonized Madame Carter. Harriet
knew that she was casting about for
some honeyed and venomous farewell,
when the muffled thrill of the bell
came to them, and the footsteps If
Ella were heard. Immediately after
ward Richard Carter came quickly In.
He met Harriet at the door.
How are you, Miss Field1 Tell
Nina to hurry I've got about five min
utes!" he said, pleasantly.
Don't keep Miss Field; she is max
ing her train !" said his mother, COM
ing forward under full sail, and laying
both hands about his. "Tll explain
about Nina"
Richard Carter gave his mother the
peculiarly warm smile that was espe-
cially her own.
went on with Ward, eh3" he said,
in his hearty voice. THAT'S all right,
then. Oh, Miss Feldw he called, after
Harriets discreetly retreating back,
'the cars downstairs. Walt for me
there; I'll run you home In half the
time the train takes. I'm playing in
the tennis finals, Mother"
Harriet, turning for just nod and
smile, heard no more. But as she en-
tered the lift, the girl said to herself,
with passionate sort Of gratitude
ooh, like you! You're the only genu-
Inc and unselfsh and kind-hearted one
In the whole crowd!"
She went down to the street, and
saw the small car waiting. He was
driving himself today. With a great
sense of comfort and relaxation Har-
riet got into it, and was comfortably
established, and tucked In snugly'
when Richard came down. He smiled
at seeing her, got into his own seat
the machine slipped smoothly into mo
ton, the hot and sordid streets began
to glide by.
Ever think how Illuminating II
would be, Miss Field, IL we kept a list
Of the things that are worrying US
sick, and read 'em over a few weeks
laterf"
Il suppose sol" the girl said, little
surprised, and yet with fervor. "We'd
have a fresh bunch then, and be wor-
rying away just as hardl"
The spontaneous response In her
tone made Richard Carter laugh.
Harriet was content to enjoy this
restful interval between the hurry and
crowding of Linda's house and the
currents and cross-currents that she
must encounter at Crownlands. She
watched the green country go by, the
trees silent and heavy with their rich
foliage, the villages blazing with the
last June roses.
They flew by the great gates Of the
country club, and turned In past
Crownlands lodge, and Harriet got out
at the steps, and turned her happy,
flushed face toward the man to thank
him. Whatever she saw In his face as
he smiled and nodded at her pleased
her, for she went upstairs saying again

"PLEAsE!p

synopsis.-Harriet Field, twenty
eight years old, and beautiful, Is
the social secretary of the flirta-
uous Mrs. Isabelle Carter, at
''Crownlands, Richard Carter's
home, and governess of seventeen
year old Nina Carter. Ward,
twenty-four years old and impress
sionable, fancies himself in love with
his mothers attractive secretary.
Mrs. Carriers latest "affair" is with
young Anthony Pope, and the
youth Is taking 1t very seriously.
Presiding over the teacups this
summer afternoon, Harriet is pro-
foundry disturbed by the arrival of
visitor, Royal Blondin. Next
day, at tea party In the city,
Blondin makes himself agreeable
to Nina, and leaves a deep impress
sion on the unsophisicated girl
Harriet's agitation over the appear
ance OF Blondin at "Crownlands'
is explained by the fact that he
had been a disturbing element in
her life ten years before, and she
fears him. The man is an avowed
adventurer, living on the gullibility
OF the idle rich. He frankly an
nounces to Marriet his intention of
marrying Nina, who, as the daugh-
ter of the wealthy Richard Carter,
Is a highly desirable Catch" and
urges her to aid him. She Is In
a sense in his power, and after
pleading with him to abandon his
scheme agrees to follow a policy
of neutrality. Harriet visits her
married sister, Linda Davenport,
with whom she had had her home
during her unfortunate acquaint-
ance with Blondin. and tells her Of
his temperance. The two women,
realizing the interruptions nature
of the man, view the future with
apprehension.

FAIR LADY MOOSE
 GOES TO NILE TEMPLI

Miss Taku, a five months old moose, was recently dispatched to Potentate Hugh M. Caldwell, of Seattle, who in behalf of Nile Temple of Shriners will present the animal to the Woodland Park zoo. The moose was secured for NV" Caldwell by a local Shriner from L. R. Smith of the Juneau Dairy
 When MT. Caldwell left Seattle early last month for Fairbanks it was with the intention of bringing back to Seattle an Alaskan moose. At Fairbanks he rescued a porcupine from a mob of indignant baseball fans after it had charged the pitcher of the local team in an effort to break up the game, and took it to Seattle with him, but no moose. He previous ly had brought back live camel from China and presented it to the Seattle zoo
 The moose secured for him here was captured several weeks ago on the American side of the border up Taku River and brought here by an Indian who sold it to MT Smith. The latter previously refused others to sell it, but when MT. Caldwells plight was explained to him, he consented to sell.
 The moose remained at the Juneau Dairy establishment at the outskirts of town until permission for it's ship ment out of the Territory was received from the Biological Survey.

LIQUOR NOT NECESSARY
 EVEN TO CRIMINALS
 SAYS NOTED PHYSICIAN

ITO what influences can we look to rose-color the gray drudgery of every day toll, to give us hope of better things to come even of only a tenn porary gleam?" asks Dr. Woods Hut chinson in Hearst's International, discussing alcohol and it's effects. Claiming that it's r,nly value is to drown sorrow" he continues: Ut is urgent that some great public agen- cy, church, Y. M. c. A., K. C., Y. M. H. A., the municipality or the state should take over and intelligently study and administer the whole prob lem of creation of social pleasures, of music, the drama and the creative arts and crafts. Why not have a commits sioner of happiness, as well as of health, in the department of public welfare?" These reflections are in spired by Dr. Hutchinson's investiga- tions on the subject of prohibition, which he claims has made good There is much food for thought in his statement that "crimes which require courage and vigor of a certain sort and a distinct amount of more or less in telligent planning in advance have shown little or no diminution because the absence or shortage of liquor has kept this class of criminals eyes and hand steadier- and brain clearer to carry out their nefarious designs"
 Unfortunately, the cuttings off of the criminals supply of liquor seems to have produced no similar vivifying and strengthening effect upon the in telligence of the police," says Dr.. Hutchinson. "The net result because of this regrettable situation, has been rather disconcerting to the community at large"
 Yet in Boston there were 10000 fewer arrests in the first year follow ing prohibition.
 in Milwaukee the number of drunk and disorderly arrests have fallen from 1920 to 731, since the passage of the law, and the total of arrests from all causes has dropped from 4,S00 to 1850.
 In Portland, Me-, the total number of arrests for all causes dropped from 6,459 in 1917 to 1924 in 1920.
 In the Philadelphia general hospital the cases of alcoholism have dropped from 2,326 in 1918 to sos in 1920.

IN A CIRCLE

A story that harks back to the Civil war concerns a troop of Con- federate mountain volunteers and their colonel. They had been sent for by a certain Confederate town, but before they could arrive the Fed eral forces were in command of the city The auxiliaries arrived in the night and found the town deserted
 Not caring to mix unnecessarily with the Union troops, they turned around and rode out of the town by the first gate and road they found
 Before them stretched a fine smooth road and they took to it for all they were worth. They rode all night without passing any villages or signs of civilization. The countryside seemed not only deserted, but de. molished as well. When the sur peeped over the Blue Ridge noun
 tains the colonel drew up suddenly What's the matter, suh?" asked his lieutenant. Dammit, suh," roared tho colonel, "we've been galloping around race-track all night. ."-Argonaut.

HOME IS PURCHASE
 OF YACHT CLUB

PENSACOLA, Florida, Sept. 25.- The new home of the Pensacola Yacht Club, handsome concrete structure, is about ready for occu- pancy and the club members think so we'll of it that when they make the next trip to Mobile in a body they will take the Club house along with them to show 1t to the yachts men of the Alabama city. It is a floating clubhouse.
 The club has just purchased for less than $10,00O the Army Quarter master motor-ship General William Wilson, concrete vessel 136 feet in length which the government built at an expense of $35O,O00. The Wilson is equipped with two power full gasoline motors which cost Uncle Sam $3O,000 each and virtually is a new vessel, having made only one voyage since it was launched. It's only journey was a trip by easy stages from New York to Pensacola but the Voyage proved to be the un- doing of the vessel. The motors con- ue ouUosB5 10 suoUe5 GlJH pomns
 With the vessel went all of it's hour and even Uncle Sams bank account would not stand for that On arrival of the vessel here it was tied up and a recent advertisement for bids for the ship resulted in the local yacht club becoming interested
 The club for many years had dreamed of a floating club house eventually but even the most opti- mistic members did not contemplate one of concrete or one that could be moved without the assistance of 8 tug, and when it was learned the Wilson was on the market the mem bers proceeded to file bid. equipment, which comprised every thing from table silver to bed linen The ship has accommodations fo fifty persons, but having been de signed to carry troops, if necessary | there is room aboard for severa l hundred.
 The club expects to dredge a chan nel in the western part of Pansacol; Bay as permanent berth for thu vessel but whenever the club de cides to go in a body to Mobile, Nev Orleans, or some other Gulf DOT the anchor will be pulled aboard ant the club house will make the tril under it's own power.

KNOCKED OUT
 BY BIRD, MAN
 TAKES HELMET

Hunted by the bird he had shot, located quickly and given a knock out blow, which might have proven fatal, is the experience of one Ju- neau hunter after geese, and one which this hunter will not soon for get.
 Last week Robert Semple, we'll known mine foreman, and lately su- perintendent of streets, and Emil Gastonguay were hunting geese at Big John, on Rocky Pass.
 On a certain morning, Semple and Gastonguay, out with their guns, and hiding behind rocks, spied four geese until the big birds were within easy range and nearly overhead, Semple blazed away, hit one and shot at another, but missed.
 Then something happened
 Semple remembers a queer flight of fancy, twinkling stars, soft mus ic, entirely unearthly
 The queer experience passed after a few seconds and Semple came out of dreamland.
 He was prone upon the rocks, at his side one of the geese he had shot, 14-pounder.
 Semple felt of himself cautiously got up; he was all there. He thought hard
 Then it all came out
 That bird, struck with the first shot in it's fall, hit Semple a terrific glancing blow on the side of the head. Fourtten pounds falling from a good distance in the air deals terrific blow. Semple was knocked out. If the bird had fallen on top of Sem ple's head another tragedy might have been reported.
 Semple has been doing a lot of thinking and it is said he is alleged to have decided that the next time he goes out for big game, he will probably be protected from over- head.
