 Alongside of the picture of Father Hubbard is view taken in the Mount Katmai region of what Father Hubbard has designated, "Katmai's Children The por- trayed section is a vast group of small peaks and pinacles formed by the eruption of Mount Katmai, which the famous geologist visited last year and identified as an i'm mense glacier in the vicinity of Kukak Bay" In the foreground is a picture of two members of Father Hubbard's exploration party.

close to his eyes. His eyes leaped from his own hand to the back of dads; his lips twitched, grinning. and he moistened them with the tip of his tongue. The men be- hind dad seemed to have stopped breathing, so dead still was the room, yet dad said the air quivered like a harp string. Somebody be- hind him whispered:
 Bet, yuh fool!'
 Tt seemed to ease the tension for moment and Richey slid for warfFa stack of blues. Dad meas ured it with couple more. Mac Coy scratched his chin, thinking, then he matched the three blue stacks with another three. It was now Lundy's bet. He hunched his shoulders almost parallel the sides of his head and he blinked owlishly at dad, who was trying to fathom his expression. Lundy muttered something to himself, then he suddenly raised MacCoy a stack of blues.
 "Richey skinned his cards, hesi- tated, made a rapid calculation, and measured Lundys four stacks with five. Dad saw the bet and raised it two stacks of blues. Mac Coy dropped out.

to and fro on the table, blinking at dad like some beastly prowling thing All at once, dad seized the pad, wrote an LOU for $20,00O and showed it on top of the others.
 "Lundy grunted, calculated, or pretended to, and wrote again. The LOU was for $40,000.
 Dad wrote another for $60,000.
 You could hear the drawing of breath, now, dad said. The room was like a death house Lun- dy wrote an LOU for $l00000.
 Dad said he forgot the stinking heat, Richey, MacCoy, the jam at the door. He only saw Lundy's fist, the backs of his five cards, the blinking eyes behind them. :. and beyond, a white-faced boy in dark tunnel He was asking himself if the devil or chance had given Lundy the four kings or the rare straight flush. He pulled himself up. Lundy was probably betting on full house. He'd stick by his queens.
 There was quarter of million in the pot. A $150,000 or so of it was Lundy's, and $90,000 dads; the remainder had been MacCoys and Richey's Dad calculated swift ly. At that time he had available about S300,000, so he could bet an- other $2l0.000. He thought about it for moment longer, then he wrote a check on his Los Angeles bank for $30o,O0O, payable to Joe Lundy. Tearing up his IOU's, he slid the check under one of the stacks of blues.
 "Lundy breathed gustily, took off his glasses, and wiped his face with a dirty handkerchief. Putting on his glasses again, he whipped out checkbook and scribbled a check for $300,000 payable to dad, then he burned his IOU's and scribbled on the pad Tearing off the sheet, he pushed it, with the check, under one of the stacks of blues, but in such position that Dad read it easily. Lundy had written:
 Jerry Peterson goes free,
 JOE LUNDY.
 "It1l cost yuh the Two Brothers to call me- Lundy whispered.
 Dad said he had known it was coming, just as he had known it was Lundy's mad ambition to ruin him that had driven him to proposs this crazy game. He wondered if the thing were real Had Lundy the four kings or a straight flush? The possibility of his having the one or the other racked dad horribly for moment, then he showed it to the back of his mind and grabbing the pad wrote a transfer of mine property in Lun- avs 1aVOr.
 "'Thatn stick p any court he said, tossing it over.
 "A gasp of admiration broke from the men at the door. Dad said it came to him in twinkling, then, that the issue had been pre- |sented to the crowd in the proper sporting light and that if he'd won they'd probably back him up. But had he2 MacCoy witnessed the transfer.

FIND CHLOR0F0RM
 AT LARGE STILL
Police Seize Marked Cans Taken
 From Local Man

Sebastian Gerbase, 22. of this city is indirectly involved in the seizure of a 1 ,000 gallon still valued at about s12,0O0 in Waterbury yesterday after an exciting raid by policemen on barn at 405 Lakewood road in that city and the arrest of two employees at the plant. Gerbase was connected with the possession of several cans of chloroform and was fined $50 in police court for carrying dangerous weapon.
 After an exciting chase through grape vineyard and some gun play by Lieut.. Murphy. Joe Rinaldo of 254 Bank street, Waterbury, was cap tured. Tony MoraO of the same ad- dress surrendered without trouble and both were charged with opcr- ating the still. The police believe they are only employees:
 RinaIdo Halted by Bullets
 When the police appeared on the scene. .>Riraldo dashed through the yard, leaped a high wall and started at fast clip through vineyard. Lieut.. Murphy in pursuit fired four shots in the air. Rinaldo in his eX- citement stumbled over log Think ing he had been shot, he struggled to his knees, raised his hands and sub mitted to arrest.
 The big still was in full swing. There were about 1000 gallons of alcohol in the making and about 50 gallons of finished product were waiting to be canned.
 The vice squads gaze fell immedi- ately on four familiar cans. They were filled with chloroform and were part of the six 5-galloh cans of ChlorOform which were COnlisCated 1 by PatrOlman John Johnson in the rear of 256 Bank street, Waterbury, few days ago when he arrested Gerbesa. and Alfred Lucari, 9, of 792 Highland avenue, Waterbury.
 Patrolman Johnson brought them to court on charges of transporting liquor. An additional charge of car rying concealed weapons was lodged against Gerbesa as a loaded .3S cali Der revolver and IS steel nosed bull lets were found in his possession. In city court the liquor charge against them was noIled when an analysis disclosed the content Of the cans was chloroform. Garbesa was i fined the nominal sum of $50 for carrying the pistol.
 Police Mark Cans , Police felt the chloroform was used ! in either the hooch or beer racket | and before returning the cans to the 1 owners they were secretly marked.
 The-cans were handed to the men
 and they departed, not knowing they
 were being shadowed by the vice squad. The trail led up North Main street and to Lakewood where sight
 was lost of them.
