Padraic recovered from his third
shock by leap into personalities.
Darling" he exclaimed reproach-
fully, its not your gowns love, but
you.'
He put his arms about her, meaning
to kiss her; but. though she didn't
draw back. she pressed the crown of
her shorn head so firmly against his
breast that he couldn't find her chin
easily enough to lift her face to his.
He murmured in her ear or, rather.
close to the spot he guessed her ear
to be:
But though don't care thrippence

one of your loveliest gowns and put

Something in her tone again struck
him as enigmatic, and he asked
quickly:

"Oh, yes" answered Celia.
He thought it time to face boldly
what there was to face: so, jumping
up, he caught both her hands. pulling
her to her feet also.

told herself.

He summoned all his powers of act

Reindeer Herds Should
 Be Centered On Area
 Near the Alaska Railroad

Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work is very anxious to develop the Alaskan reindeer industry and in this connection, it is learned locally, the only way to build up the business is by shipping the carcasses out over the Alaska Railroad This would mean the herds in the remote Interior dis tricts would have to be moved west ward nearer to steel, to certain area which could be set aside for the herds, and the construction of slaugh- ter houses.
 It is pointed out that six to seven months after the reindeer are slaugh- tered in the Nome district, they lay in cold storage until navigation opens up at which time they are sent to the States. By centering the industry near the railroad a year around busi- ness could be developed.

 GAME OF SERIES
TEAMS FIGHT FURIOUSLY FROM THE TAP OF GONG TO
 FINAL BLAST
LAST GAM ME MIGHT
Comeback of the Locals Amaze the Visitors, Who FaIter in Their
 Basketshooting

The Seward aggregation upset the basketball dope last night when they took the second game of the series from the Anchorage Soldiers by the score of 33 to 23. Captain McEwen must have read the riot act to his squad overnight for it was an en- tirely different team which "strutted their stuff.
 With galvanic action and with a fury, not to be denied, they swept like a whirlwind up and down the floor and with superb abandon, ex- hibited brand of teamwork in passing, guarding and dextrous shooting, which left the visitors and spectators, alike, astounded.
 The Soldier five were greatly per turbed. Their prodigious efforts availed them not. Ejaculations of surprise spontaneously burst forth from the tense fans who wildly ap- plauded their home teams efforts. King sport reigned supreme.
 McEwen was high point man, mak- ing five field goals and two points from the foul line, but the playing of guard, George Chief Chya, on the defensive and in shooting, ac- claimed him star. His ability to slip out from under with the ball, his tricky juggling of the sphere down the floor and his basketshoot- ing, contributed largely to the splen- did victory of the Locals. For few minutes in the second half, he retired from the field when his left elbow was injured. Rathff filled in for him. Chya made three cages and one foul One of these was, a beauty backhand overhead throw. Then there was Clark Andresen, playing at forward. As in the first game Clark was on his toes all the time and broke up many of the Sol- diers' plays besides adding to the score, four field shots.
 McEwen made couple of wonder full long shots from the field and Nip" Johnson, who ran the total up six points with three baskets, also made amazingly accurate shots.
 Johnson attempted several long shots, missing them by a fraction. Thinker at guard, was on the job from start to finish, proving an ob- stacle unsurmountable by the oppo- sition.
 Both teams missed many foul line heaves. Manuel was substituted by Walker in the last half. The first half ended 16 to g in favor of the locals.
 Bortz was high scorer for his team mates contributing four cages from the field and one foul point. Manuel, the husky Army center, played his usual hard and steady game and boosted the score of his team by six points by slipping three pretty ones through the hoop. Ed wards, sturdy Army guard, played in real professional style, scoring two field shots for his team. Cap- tain DeGraw, who was high point man for the Soldiers, the previous night, was closely watched through
