 In conclusion, MT. Robertson said "We will draw something even more worth while from the inspiration of the mountains, woods and waters, A new and individual type of arch lecture will develop. The literature of the future will feature, not epi- sodes of the gambling dens and dance halls, but will reflect the true Alaskan spirit The same in definable spirit will be reproduced on canvas in a great art"
 A business meeting opened the program. The minutes were read and approved. The treasurer's re- port of $8953 in the PIT. A. treas ury was read and accepted.

CnapLtT HALLE PLEADS HER CASE

HALLE PLEADS HEX CASE
 Some four hours later, pr. Lyt- ton mounted the steps of the un- pretentious house where Hallie was staying
 The door was opened by tall, forbidding woman.
 Are you pr. Lytton?'
 "Yes."
 Then you can step in. She said she wouldn't see anyone else
 Lytton looked more attentlvely at the speaker as he passed. into the narrow hall. She was unusually tall. Her white hair and haggard face suggested weakness of the body, but Lytton, with doctors instinct, decided that her malady was of the soul
 Whatever pr. John Russel's opin- ion. Lytton held himself responsi- ble for the accident to Grannock's eyes. That Grannock was his friend as well as his patient did not really make a bad business worse, because, to Lytton, to fail a patient was the worlds worst busi- ness already Nevertheless the dis cipline of years had enabled him to master his sick fury with Hallie Ellesmore
 In place of his anger had come a resentment that he could not dismiss her from his consideration. By some means he did not yet clearly understand, she and Gran mock between them had created an amazing situation.
 Hallie entered. She had put on a filmy summer frock of a clear yet pale red The doctor was aware that here was a darkly beautiful

Juneau Attorney Gives Instructive Address
 Anniversary Month

Since October, 1867, witnessed the transfer of Alaska by Russia to the United States, R. E. Robertson, in his address before the Douglas Par ent-Teaeher Association last night, chose Alaska as his subject. In order to tell what might occur in the future, it is necessary to pause and look back to the past, said MT. Robertson.
 "It has been two hundred years since Boring first sighted and dis covered Alaska; Captain Vancou- yer sailed up Gastineau Channel in 1793," continued MT. Robertson Vancouver first named Douglas Island Salisbury Island. Gastineau Channel received it's name from Gastineau River in Quebec. The country at this time, the sites of Juneau and Douglas, were covered by dense, primeval forests and no

settlements of Indians were located on the Channel before the white man came
 Founding of Douglas
 "The discovery of gold veins even- tually led to the founding of Doug ias Island community, which during the years has had it's ups and downs, said Mir. Robertson. In 1867 when the Russian flag was hauled down at Sitka and the American flag ran up, there were no schools or churches in Alaska. For the first ten years of American administra- tion the country was in the hands of military authorities; for the next ten in charge of naval forces. In 1881 when gold was discovered at TreadWell, there was no local or civil law; no courts to record titles of property; no school system at all no modern conveniences; no communication with the United States except by mail steamers. The people of this country were entire ly cut off from the rest. of the world. The advantages of today are manifold. Douglas has mod ern school system to compare fav- orably with any other town of simi- lar size; electricity, telephones, ra- dios, pianos, daily press, books and magazines, steamers, aeroplanes,,
 Looking Into Future
 We have a right to let our imagination picture some of the things the future is bound to bring to us. The stimulus of obstacles hard to surmount-if not for the adults-at least for the children, are bound to attempt to overcome the obstacles; and in these very at tempts, this country is bound to progress in the future. Many in. dustries are not yet even tried The waters teem with fish. Mineral wealth is not yet touched. In a few years when the timber is used for pulp, timber will be grown as q

SYNOPSIS: When Saxely Granncck meets Hallic EllcS- moro, beautiful young nurse, On the cliffs overlooking Long leland Sound, they fall in love at once, although Haley is al- ready engaged to Lester Broom, GrannCck's younger half-broth- CT. Grannoek cannot sec her clearly as he has eye trouble and is to undergo an operation which will either cure or ruin his sight. Hence he refuses to let her tell her name, but gives her tiny ivory rose as a love token. HaIlic is hired, unknown to Granncck, as his night nurse during the treatment, and must notify Dr. Lytton when certain symptoms develop. Lester, com ing in late and drunk, holds Haiiie captive m the uraWlng room until past time to call the dcctor and Grannock goes blind. Hallie, disgraced, breaks with Lester, though he refuses to give her up. Leaving the house, che meets GrannOck out side by accident. Hearing her voice, he recognizes her as the girl he met on the cliff. Heart broken, che tells him of her Iovc and desire to help him, and cannot bring herself to re- veal her identity as the nurse who blinded him. She cvades his questions reg ar ing her name. Dr. Lyttcn, arriving in anger, almost gives her away.

housekeeper herself showed me my bedroom I think she said she had dismissed one housemaid and the other was out. At any rate, she and the butler and Nurse Casey are the only people in the house who would recognize me as Nurse Files more if I came to see MT. Gran mock tomorrow.
 "You're forgetting Broom"
 I've refused to marry him, any, way. He has absolutely nothing to gain by spelling his brothers il- 1 lusions about me. My experience of Lester is that, if his own inter- ests aren't threatened, he is just in- different to every one else's do- 1 ings."
 Lytton's grunt was skeptical.
 "The only person in Southcliff who knows my name as nurse or that I went to the Broom house" she continued, is Mrs. Bartholo- new"
 Who's she?"
 My landlady here. She opened the door to you. She was a friend of my aunt and she is my friend, too, though I have never stayed with her before. She is strange person"
 What you are doing broke in the doctor violently, is to drag me and these other people into a conspiracy of silence! Without our consent"
 T don't think I could do that If I tried Any one of you can breaK the silence at any moment. It's simply that if MT Grannock gets any kind of pleasure-or compen- sation out Of having me near him, you are all bound to be on my side. Aren't you?"
 And what you're doing now" ragged the doctor, his face thrust aggressively into hers, lis to tell me that whether I like it or not you are coming back into Gran nock's life as--what does he call you?-'Rose.' The woman he has never seen"
 Hallie sobbed suddenly.
 T took away his sight" she whiS- pered. T want to give him mine instead. When I'm his eyes and his hands and his feet, then I'm doing what I can to atone, even though know it's so terribly small an atonement." 9+
 Baffled, furious, the doctor took up his hat and made for the door. Hallie intercepted him.
 Have you" she demanded breathlessly-"have you taken any steps at all to prevent MT. Gran- mock being told?"
 If you must know-yes. I've ordered Broom and Casey and the two servants to keep their mouths shut indefinitely"
 "Oh Thank you! Thank you for that"
 Damn you" retorted the doctor. He pushed her aside and slammed himself out of the house. Copyright, 193O. by Roy Vickers)
