Come on, Nanny!" he cried.
Together they. Scampered across the
snow-covered barnyard to the barn.
| Then Danny led the way along close to
the underpinning of the barn. There
the shadows lay blacklist. He didn't go
into the barn, but ran along as fast as
he could outside.
When they reached the end of the
barn Danny darted across to the chicken
yard and through the wire netting of
that yard Nanny followed. Inside
that yard they felt quite safe. If Reddy
Fox should happen along or If Black
Pussy should happen along there would
be nothing to fear Only one of the
Owl family could catch them in there.
They stopped to rest. !.
Where are we going?" demanded
Nanny.
ITO the Old Orchard" replied Danny.
GAS long as Spooky the Screech Owl has

henhouse. At the back of the henhouse
he dug his way up to the surface once

across to the safety of the old stone
wall. Then he sighed. 1t was a sigh
of pure relief. We'll" said he to Nanny,

us in the old stone wall"
Nobody" said Nanny questionably.

Orchard" said Danny, and led the way.
There, close to one of the apple trees

beneath the snow, he felt reasonably
safe once more. Nanny Joined him.

It's wonderful how Punktowns grow

showing. Great buildings rear up seven
stories, new subdivisions have their
glories, and 1t would take a pen more
graphic than mine to tell about the
traft1c. New people are each day
arriving to do their homing and their
hiving, to settle down and stay forever
and help us in our brave endeavor to
make old Punktown better, greater, SO
other towns may emulate her. I do my
share OF eager boosting, but sometimes,

OF yellow yearning to see old quiet days
returning. Once PunktoWn spent the
long years browsing, no boosters did
thair wild carousing; the streets were
open then to travel, not Uttered up with
sand and gravel and other things they
use in building those structures high,
ornate with gliding. Across the street

| ing, and / suppress the futile longing
| for quiet times and calm stagnation,
and talk with phony animation of how
our Punktown is expanding and soon

progress while they hide the feeling that
calm and quiet are much better than all

This is the only mine of it's kind known in Alaska as far as the Knowledge of MT. Eckle's is concerned.
 There are, without doubt, hundreds of thousands of tons of ore in the Dunbar holdings which are legally and thorough ly located. For the benefit of any who might 'conceive the notion to go into that district Mr. Eckle said there is nothing left to Tor cate that Dunbar, an oldtimer of 30 years experience iii the Ter ritory, has the only deposit in that particular district.
 MT. Eckle is handling the property for MT. Dunbar and to that end will close the deal for him next July with Denver cap italists. The sum involved is said to be $50O,0OO.
