And Marthe: how is she to

"Who drives the limousine?"
The woman hesitated, looked aside,
bit her lip.
LAS a matter of fact, monsieur"
she said hastily, 1T is the boy who
drove us through the Cevennes. Mon
sieur Monk asked me to keep him
pending his return to France.
Lanyard had the grace to keep a
straight face. He nodded gravely,
you make it all perfectly clear,
little sister"
Here is the plan. At the last
moment you will decide to take Leon
with you.
Toward evening we will let the
( touring car catch up. We will eX-
change cars with Marthe and Leon,
leaving the latter to bring on the
limousine while Jules drives for us,
Whatever happens then, we may fee

1t was fOur o'clock when the OK
petition for Cherbourg left the door
Of Lanes town-housc. The limou-
sine was leading with Jules at its
wheel; the touring car trailing, with
the footman, Leon, as driver.

Jules picked out the mouth Of a
narrow lane, stopped and backed
into it.
In four minutes by Lanyard's
watch, a blue-white glare leapt quiv-

CAPTAIN MAUD OF BUREAU
 BELIEVES CLIMATE CHANGING

Capt. Maud of the Bureau of Fisher les, believes that the climate in Alaska is really changing for the better, due possibly to the shifting of ocean cur rents. He recalls that in former years on more than one accession large yes sells were compelled to seek shelter. and could not cross the Taku; there were also times when they could not negotiate the Lynn canal.
 Many persons claim that the Japan current is circling closer to the Alas ka coast line each year; also 1t Is a we'll known fact that the glaciers of the coast line are rapidly receding and that the winters are no longer as cold as formerly. It Is said that in early days Gastineau channel was frozen nearly solid with Ice.

BE PLEASANT TO THE STRANGER

Be pleasant to the stranger within your gates. Lots of times that Is one of the best investments you ever made
 Just think what boom town would take if everybody in 1t would make it pleasant for every stranger who showed up.
 The trouble is that so many folks grow careless In this as in lot of other things that ought to be looked after.
 This is a mighty good time to start a new policy in the town-building game by never saying anything against your town unless it is something good.
 This will work in ne1ghborhoods just as we'll as in towns and your neighbor will return the compliment.
 Besides that, you feel mean after you have done a mean trick, whether i; is saying mean things about some body CT otherwise. So why not keeI pleasant and do good all tho time wien it is so easy?
 Try the Sunshine Route awhile. The tax ls off now and there Is plenty oi room. aboard.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The Seward Chamber of Commerce has come to life with flying start. The meeting called Tuesday evening for reorganization was attended by 8 large number of the citizens of Sew ard. Everyone was enthusiastic in getting the new Chamber started right.
 A member ,hi:r conJlittee has been appointed which will call upon every. iCe in SewA,'i to ask them to join i'.S important .ivic boo:. The mini mum dues per month is $1.00 payable Quartt,ly iD advance. Any member cal. agree 10 ray r:ore than this per nolth and the business men have nearly all agreed to pay from s2.50 to $500 per month. This will assure 8 steady income to the Chamber that will take care of all ordinary expenses. Big undertakings will be financed by special assessments or suosc' 'ptions.
 The idea of this is to place the bur. den of the up-keep of the Chambe- on the shoulders of the entire member. ship through the payment of stated amount. When any special work Is un. dertaken contributions will! be called for and each one can give toward this as he fells able.
 A live Chamber of Conner; 70 is one Of the greatest asses Of a town. :, his coming summer there Is EIuch need for an active body jn this city to meet w:th prominent peope coming through our town and in general to advertise Seward to the travelling public.
 It is important that everyone in Sew ard having the interest of this com munity at heart join the Chamber of Commerce. We want to present uni ted front for the benefit of Seward and this entire community.
 Joint the Seward Chamber of Com merce and bear your part of the work.
