CHAPTER xLIII

A SHTORETH toyed with straw
"A berry tart.
Happy" she repeated. "Why
Monty darling, of course I'm happy"
But her voice was a little scared
whisper, that any man could guess
was lying.
They sat iii silence, like lovers
who had quarreled. Near them, a
student from the Latin quarter
drank chocolate with his sweet
heart.
They leaned across the table, and
exchanged kisses. Down the street
came a man and girl, with their
arms about each other. She said
something that made him laugh,
and he stopped to brush her lips
with his.
A bus stopped on the corner; and
the first man to descend held his
arms up to girl in red tam. She
flung herself into his arms, and he
kissed her as he set her on her
feet. Ashtoreth and Monty looked
at each other and smiled.
Don't you adore the French
lovers!" she exclaimed. cat home
now, there are policewomen on the
Common, to arrest boys and girls
for kissing. And over here they
don't think anything of it at all.
There are three couples we've seen
kissing within three minutes"
Monty bent to his pastry.
"It'S all in the national view
point, L suppose. Being human,
like the rest of those birds, I'd like
a kiss myself. But, being American,
I eat a foolish cake instead"
why, the idea, Monty! You
mustn't forget that I'm married

That's the devil of it."

little breath of springtime. She put
her fingers on his, gently.

you, Monty"

"Then what makes you feel so
badly?"
Loves an unreasonable thing"
he told her, and dug in his pocket
for change. Come on, let's get
moving, Ash"
How do you mean-unreasonable,
Monty?"
ooh, it makes Savages stick rings
through their noses. And it makes
saps out of wise guys. And little
girls ask questions. It's a snare and
a delusion, that's what it is"
They strolled down the street,
chatting like strangers.

being constructed, today made arrange.
mentS to care for q greater part OF
the nuisance and to rush the actual
construction of the road.
p AS result of q storm of protest, r. I.
Mount resident State highway engineer
yesterday made arrangements with
Arlington County authorities for the
immediate purchase Of 10 tons OF cal
cium chloride with which to treat the
detours that are being used during the
reconstruction of the Lee highway,
another State project. This will be
placed on all dirt permanent detours
that are being used through thickly
settled sections. Mount said. It will
not, however, be placed on Memorial
drive, since there is little residential
development along that highway.

According to c. L. Kinnier, Arlington
County directing engineer, the county
has ordered 20 tons Of calcium chloride,
10 tons Of which was to be delivered
today, a half of this to be Immediately
half by the county.
Since the county Is rebuilding Wilson
boulevard at the same time the two
State projects are under way, Kinnier
has made arrangements to care for the
number of dirt detours that have been
necessitated. The old county sprinkler
wagon has been reconditioned at con-
siderable cost and was put into use yes
terday. This, with the calcium chloride,
is expected to keep down greater part
Of the dust on the roads affected by
the county work.
Sprinkler on Glebe Road.
Kinnier also said that he had made
tentative arrangements for the use of
the sprinkler on Glebe road at such
times as it Is not In use on those Of
the county.
Not altogether satisfied with these
arrangements, Mount had a conference
with officials Of Jarboe g. Houghton,
contractors for the Glebe road project.
at which it was decided to put is
trucks to hauling gravel today for that
section of the highway lying between
Memorial Grive and the Lee Highway.
With these trucks in operation, it was
said, that section Of the road can be
graveled within five days, thereby elm
mating the clouds of dust that have re-
suited from the rerouting of traffic over

Mushes Over The
 Great Divide

Dad" Hinchelwood died on Wednesday afternoon at the Pi- oneers' Home, Sitka. MT. Ket- tleson, manager of the Home, wired Earl Dinner, Tuesday af- ternOOn, that Dad" was sinking very rapidly and did not hold out any hope of life for any length of time. Wednesday Robert AL 'en received a message that Dad had mushed over the Great Di- vide. He was buried yesterday in the national cemetery at Sit ka.
 Dad" was along about eighty years of age, strong and vigor- ous, with a mind, active and clear as a bell until his last ill., ness when stricken with paraly- sis. Even after that, friends commented on his accuracy of statement.
 He came to Alaska the first time about fifty years ago and went to the westward sections. He went back to the States but only to return to Alaska which he had learned to love as his home.
 While great one to tell of in cidents and contacts of his life, he did not tell of relations that might be interested. He was the youngest of several brothers and it is probable that he was the last of the line.
 Dad" was a man of convic- tion and principle and lived as he believed, a clean life with and consideration for everyone.

 nill at the site of the old ship yard adjacent to the Clarke NickersOn mill, disclose that the proposed $3,5O0,O00 plant will not only manufacture pulp for paper making purposes, but it will also include a sawmill where first grade logs will be milled and clear lumber cut.

Old Age Pensions
 Get Right of Way

A lot of jockying was done by the last territorial legislat- ure on the question of pioneers pension or old pension. That this matter is being given ser ious thought nationally has just been called to our atten- tion. If present plans are car ried out and the old age pen sion act becomes effective then Alaska will have 8 more de- finite and tangible plan to work on than was presented the last legislature.
 New York, April 29.-Ten states of the Union now have old-age pension laws, and Sen ator c. c. Dill of Washington has promised to introduce a reQeraI OlQ-age pension D1ll and to press for action. Congress- man W. I. Sirovich of New York has submitted a similar proposal in the House.
