A Chapter in the New Phase of
 "Reyelations of a Wife"

"ReNelalonS Of a Wife"
 I know exactly the feeling ot a poverty-stricken child. who. expect ing two or three cheap toys on Christmas morning, awakens to the glorious realization that some wealthy philanthropist has piled the wonderful playthings of her dreams around her.
 From my childhood 1t has been my secret ambition to have some part, however humble, in the mech anism of artistic theatrical produc- tions. It would have sufficed me to have obtained some relatively minor position in the famed organization which Philip Veritzcn headed. But that the "noblest Roman of them all" should ask me to undertake the entire task of historical research for his projected pageant drama dealing with the a Charlemagne legends-for a dazed second l could not realize, the good fortune which had come to me.
 Instinctively. however, I repressed the ecstatic words which rose to my lips in reply to the famous theatri- cal magnate's proposition. After all, I was no inexperienced schoolgirl, like Mary Harrison on whose potcn- tial genius the brilliant Broadway figure was banking, He needed ccr- tain services performed for his pet production, and from Lillian's repre- sentations, just confirmed by his own searching catochism, he be- Heved me capable of delivering those services. To express gratitude for the opportunity to do the work would be a puerile belittling of my self, and while it might flatter Philip Veritzen's vanity. of which guessed he possessed his full quota, if certainly would not increase his respect for my capabilities.
 So I carefully followed the Dick ensian advice to "count five and twenty" before I answered, and in the process achieved the ability to speak calmly.
 Ut Is an attractive proposltion.' I said at last. T do not know any work which would be more coneen- ial to me. But before answering you, I should like to know some- thing of what you would require. the time you would wish me to spend on it, and the nature of the services. I may not have the knowledge or the skill for all you require"

Johnny Chuck decided to go back to the hole he had dug under some rocks over in the Old Pasture and call 1t a day. He had met Old Man Coyote, he had met Reddy Fox and he had met Jimmy Skunk. The result was that Johnny's nerves were a little shaken. He felt that he didn't want to meet any more that day. So after parting from Jimmy Skunk, Johnny went back 10 that hole he had dug and sat down on the little heap of sand which form ed his doorstep. It was sunny there and Johnny likes the sun,

WEALTH AWAITING DEVELOPMENT

Lying to the west of Seward, including the Kenai peninsula Kodiak Island and other regions is country larger than Belgium and possessed of potential wealth sufficient to any country in the world to view 1t with covetous eyes But yet the great land of prom ise is hardly marked by the implement of industry This because of lack of roads and aids to transportation making it accessible to those who would develop it.
 There is sufficient fertile agricultural land the Ke mai peninsula and Kodiak Island to maintain large popu laton of agrcutursts while the hills storehouses of precious metals and it's woodland teens with valuable fur
 Kodiak Island has become the wintering ground for bands of horses used by the various survey parties and others for packing in Owing to the mdness of the climate and the abundance of good fee these animals winter we'll and come out in spring sleek and fat.
 There is on Kenal peninsula, the far Westward and Kodiak for ranging hundreds of thousands of sheep and the soil capable of producing all the feed necessary for animals kept in the barn and outdoors all winter.
 The most important essentials to development are roads and aids transportation by water These may be secured by cooperation between the popuous tres like Seward and those resident to the westward How ever the larger share of the labor rests with the urban centres owing to the isolation of the regions need ing assistance There should be etup in pressing the question of roads into the peninsula country and every effort should be made to assist the residents of the Vest ward in securing what they need
 Evidence of the mineral possibilities is shown III Nuka bay, where development indicates some big rich mines are fast becoming realities How much more of these riches await the coming of capital and facilities for turning them to only be conjectured but it is known that the mineral belt extends all the way to the Moose Pass counry and that the field is large
 One may readily vision the importance this region bears to Seward the natural trading centre and too much cannot be said in support of cooperative movements look ing to it's early exploitation.

MORE OV "SCOTTY'
(Continued from Page -Three)

the best known mining engineers of the West, importuned "Scotty" to lead him to the mystic Eldorado. "Scotty" promised, and with Norman and Rol King, manager. of the Hol- lenbeck bar, and led by "Slim," the emblem of satanic perfection, they slipped out of Barstow while the moon bathed the desert in silvery splotches, and headed for Death Valley.
 The following morning found them at Wingate Pass, where "Scotty" said the trail led off to his mine. There an enforced halt was made. While "Scotty' was standing on an eminence overlooking the valley, bullet whizzed past him. Soon they began to come like swarms of hor- nets "Scotty was struck down with bullet in his thigh. Norman and King took to cover.
 When the coast cleared, "Scotty" was placed aboard "Slim" and the par ty retraced its steps to Barstow. 1 Many versions have been given, both as to the origin of the rich ore and the cause of the ambush. Some claim that "Scotty" never owned a mine, and that the ambush in Wingate Pass was a pre-arranged affair, but went further than "Scotty" har antici- pated.
 During the height of Scotty's fame Goldfeld, Nev., was in it's glory as boom camp. It was known that large quantities of ore had been high graded, and at one time a carload was intercepted while being shipped away by express. It was hinted that some other avenue had to be found for getting the high-grade out of Gold felyd, and that Death Valley was the only means available.
 It was therefore claimed that the "Scotty" party ran into caravan of burros conveying ore from Goldfield and that the conveys, fearing detec- tion, saning others with him, opened fire to drive them back. Others aver that "Scotty" was "in Dutch" with his Goldfeld friends, and had not shar- ed up the proceeds of his own ore shipments. As there was no way to prove or disprove the allegations, they went merely as speculations on the mystery of Death Valley.
 On one occasion "Scotty" arrived in Los Angeles loaded with coin of the realm A miner arrived from Arizona immediately after selling his property for a million dollars. He proceeded to paint Los Angeles red in a spectacular manner. Walking along the streets he cast handfuls of gold pieces into the laps of old flow CT women and showered it upon the newsboys.
 "Scotty" received tidings that his record as a spender was being chal- llenged, and traced the man of gold to the Lankershim hotel, where he ar river just in time to see a shower Iof five and ten-dollar gold pieces hit lthe ceiling and fall rattling to the tile floor of the bar.
 I Say, Pal" said "Scotty," they tell me you are some spender. With drawing a roll of bills said to contain s50,0OO, "Scotty" laid it upon the bar. Now we will buy wine, tear it up or give it away to the widows and or phans," he said. "Get busy with your roll. The man who quits first leaves town. I am the spender in this mans haoianda
