WANTS USE OF FUNDS ALASKA
 ROAD WORKI,

Anticipating that the army bill con- taining the Alaska road and trail ap- propriation will not be passed by Congress until some time during the making an effort to secure an author ization for the expenditure of an amount equal to 75 per cent of last years appropriation, according to ad- vices received at Juneau. If this authorization is secured, contracts may be entered into and expendi- tnres incurred to the extent of $31S,- 750, or 75 per cent of the $425,000 ap- propriated by Congress for the fis- cal year 1921-22.
 WOULD FACILITATE WORK
 The authorization sought has been included in a deficiency appropriation measure on which Congress is eX- pectcl to Act iH the near future. It provides that in case the army bill carrying the Alaska Road Commits sion money for the next fiscal year has not been passed by April 1, the Commission is authorized to incur expenditures in the amount stated above but does not carry any spe- cific appropriation, merely granting authority to incur debts which will be paid out of the regular appropri- ation when it is passed. Such au- thority, it is stated, would enable the Commission to launch it's opera tions at the beginning of the season even should it's appropriation be late in passing Congress and would great ly facilitate it's work in that respect.
 HEARINGS ARE CONCLUDED The hearings on the army bill were concluded late last month be- fore the House military affairs com- mittee. Colonel Steese appeared be- fore that body explaining his orig inal estimates and the need for ade-

Colonel Steese's estimates were cut from $1,200,000 by the Rrdgct Director to $425,OoO Efforts will be made by Delegate Sutherland, Governor Bone and others to have the original estimates restored. It is expected that the bill will be brought into the lower House on March l. and until that time it will not be officially known what recom- mendation the House committee has made.

GIRL, HOPELESS CRIPPLE, GAINS
 FAME AS POET

I1dll HdS De0n uHdDle to Wdik since childhood. As her diversion, she took up needlework.
 In time, it brough her happiness. And now, it is bringing her national fame as a successful poet.
 While other children of her age played on the streets near her home, the pale faced girl, watching them through window but unable to join them, did not grieve. Instead, she threw herself more fervidly into the creative art of needlework.
 As her nimble fingers flew, the girls mind filled with beautiful thoughts. She began in a child-like manner to put these thoughts into poetry.
 Growing into young womanhood, Hazel Hall became more absorbed in her stitching and her versifying. Soon her needlework began to bring finan- cial returns. So did her poems, for magazines began to seek her verse, and she won several national prizes, including the Leonora Speyer prize flor a group of poems.
 Her needlework and thoughts re- suited in her latest triumph, publica- tion of Curtains" a book of verse which has already received encourag- ing comment
 Between her and life are the heavy draperies of physieial monotony which shuts her off from the world" declared William Stanley Braithwaite, Boston literary critic, who suggested the title for the girls book.
 Miss Hall is hopelessly crippled but
 ''I write poetry only when feeling both mentally and physically fit" she says. Writing poems condenses my interests, and is always spontaneous with me. It is my way of expressig certain ideas and impressions.
 These ideas come as inspirations; sometimes a line or phrase, or as a sudden appreciation of a word, you might say. Keen appreciation is the forerunner of all great things"

 The two fell back on the discus sion of various schools where Gar goyle might be put under observa- tion. At last, feeling in the grave ly polite attention of the more eminent man a wanning lack of in terest, Milton reluctantly con cluded the interview.
 ''I'll write to Mrs. Strang and tell her your conclusions; she won't accept them-her own hus- band humored her in the thing. What John Strang himself believed I never really knew, but I think he had wisdom in his generation.

The head nurse stood there, white-frocked, smiling, her stout arms full of rosy gladioi and the lavender and white of Japanese iris The two doctors started to help her with the fragrant burden, but not before GargOyle sprang out of his chair. With a start, as if shocked into galvanic motion, the boy sat upright. With a throt- tied cry he leaped at the surprised woman. He bore down upon her flowers as if they had been a life preserver, snatching at them as if to prevent himself from being sucked under by some stange men tai undertow. The softly-co1ored blooms might have had some vital magnetiZing force for the child's blood, to which his whole feeble nature responded. Tearing the col ored mass from the surprised nurses arms, Gargoyle sank to the floor He sat there caressing the flowers, smiling, making uncouth efforts to speak. The arms that raised him were gentle enough. They made no attempt to take from him his treasures. They sat him on the table, watching the little thin hands move ardently,

went coldly, rigidly, through every detail of the final laying away of the man who had loved her to the utmost power of his mans heart. Friends waited helplessly, dread ing the furious after-crash of this unnatural mental and bodily en- durance. Doctor Milton, Strang's s lifelong friend, who had fought for the bankers life, watched her carefully, but there was no cata- lepsy, no tranced woman held in wise and endurance. Nothing Evelyn Strang did was odd or un- natural, only she seemed, particu- larly before the burial, to be wait ing intently for some revelation, toward which her desire burned consumingly, like powerful flame.

 The Swiss doctor nodded, mag netic eyes and mouth smiling.
 "Meanwhile"-in his slow, care full speech-"meanwh we do what we can to preserve the type which from long experience we know wears best"
 Milton nodded. He moved to go, one hand on Gargoyle's unrespon- sive shoulder, when the office door swung open.
 Now this is real trouble" laughed woman's fresh, deep chested voice. Doctor Mach, it means using one of your tall meas uring-glasses or permitting these lovely things to wilt; some one has inundated US with flowers.

 delicacy, amid the sheaf of color. As the visionary eyes peered first into one golden-hearted lily, then
 into another, Milton felt stir, in spite of himself, Strang's old con viction of the "undressed mind. ? He said nothing, but stole a glance at the face of his superior. Doc tor Mach was absorbed. He stood the boy on the table before him. The nurse stripped Gargoyle, then swiftly authoritative fingers tray eled up and down the small, thin frame.

 For long weeks Doctor Milton stayed on at Heartholm, caring for Mrs. Strang. From time to time the physician also studied and questioned Gargoyle. Questioned in verity, for the practised hand could feel rigid muscles and un- developed glands that answered more truthfully than words What Iever conclusions Milton arrived at, he divulged to no one but Mrs. Strang. What he had to say reused the desolate woman as nothing else could have done.
