Christmas.
Sonia loath to leave her lover,
asked Crane what his plans for the
holiday were. He told her he should
have to accompany lis mother to
Los Angeles.
THAT settles it then" cried Sonia.
I'm going home"
She began to be conscious, then,
of a secret hunger to see her
mother.
AT noon she would hurry through
her lunch and walk through China
town. The color and atmosphere

shopping to do, but she had little

She purchased an incense bowl for
Vera, Chinese dolls for the children,
a tea set for her mother. Some
time, she dreamed, hunting some
thing for Franklin, he would come
shopping with her. In spite of Max

was shaping itself in her mind. Moth

What else could it mean? They
should worry about his mothers

MAS heart.
She had seen Walter Henderson
only in connection with business.
His greeting of her was invariably
coureotus but formal. And she had
not discussed either of the men
again with Maxine.
Her last day at the Office, before
leaving for the holiday, she was
surprised by a second summons to
the presidents office. She had al
ready received her Christmas gift
from the firm. Each girl in the
department had been presented with
a SIS bill. Her heart raced as she ran
down the stairs. Perhaps he had
heard of her affair with Franklin
and did not approve of it.
She entered, saying, Yes, Mr..

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. %.
Delegate Sutherland opened his
Third Division campaign last night
at the Empress Theatre before a
crowded house. He defended the

their readers that the article re-
ferred only to Ketchikan and Bristol

meat of DR.. Clarence True Wilson.
The Delegate reiterated that Ket-
chikan is a lawless place. and de-
clared that he would continue to
fight what he termed privileged
lawbreakers He called attention
to the improved conditions at Bris-
tol Bay.
The Delegate reviewed Alaska leg
islation at the last session and at
tackled T. J. Donohoe and A. J.
Dmond for dominating the opposi-
tion and also representing the fish
cries interests. He was specially
bitter against Dimond, but made no
mention of T. A. Marquam, the In
dependent candidate.

ground that 1t would 'disfranchise
many old timers as well as In

at Washington with all the De-
partments except Secretary Herbert

According to advices received by
Collector of Customs John c. Nc
Bride the anticipated re-establish-
ment of trade relations between
Nome and Siberia did not materialize
this year. On August 10 the Amer
lean trading vessel Nome cleared
from Nome. Alaska, with cargo
valued at approximately $4,000 for
trading purposes along the Siberian
coast. This vessel returned to Nome
however on September without dis
charging a pound of freight or secur-
ing any Siberian cargo.
The captain of the, Nome stated
nearly all the villages were in need
OF supplies but the authorities at
Vladivostok would not permit the
village authorities to purchase Amer
lean goods or trade their furs.
This information was very disap-
pointing to the merchants OF Nome,
according to Collector Mcbride, as
permission had been granted for the
re.establishment of wireless com
munication between Nome and Ana
dir and it was the general under
standing that American traders could
operate along the Siberian coast
again. this year. The discontinuance
of trade relations between the two
Bering Sea countries has meant the
loss OF many thousands of dollars

to the traders, in many cases has
caused considerable suffering among
