 Had he come now-like this? Was Roy, her brother whom she had adored and worshipped, a master criminal? She tried to tell herself it wasn't true.
 She bent over the photographs and compared them critically. There was difference in years, of course, but the same distinctive fea- lures were there. She was con vinced the figure in the snapshot was Roy.
 Her elbows were on the table now. her head tightly clasped in her hands. Granting that it was Roy, it didn't mean that he was a hunt ed criminal, that he was the Big Shot whom Phil Martin was so eager to trap. There was some mistake somewhere
 And yet why should Shive Frank have singled out an innocent man? And how, unless they had in some way been brought together woulc a photograph of Roy be in tht possession of a man of Shivt Franks stamp?
 But that was not all. This wa! a picture of Roy Therefore Roy was alive. Apparently he had beer in America, for at least severa years since the war. Why ther had Roy never come home?

1 kept out of this until she had found Roy
 1 Well she was free to do that. i For another two weeks, anyway, she would be alone in this house the home of her old nurse Martha Debbins.
 When Enid determined after the death of her parents in Winnipeg, to pursue her literary efforts in New York it had been only natural that she should turn to Martha Debbins. She had been her child hood nurse and had given mater nal care to both Roy and her Then Martha had married and gone to live in New York. But the con- tacts were maintained and Martha quickly responded to Enid's sug- gestion that she live with her while she was pursuing her writ ing.
 With her two children, Martha was visiting in Maine with some relatives of her dead husband. He had died two years before, leav- ing a small competence and home and Martha managed with that and her sewing,
 Enid glanced at her wrist watch, One o'clock. It seemed incrediablc that it was only a half hour since she had left Phil Martin in the Gondola.
 She laughed out a little-sud denly, unnaturally. What did it matter that it had been merely half an hour! All that mattered was that it was still not too late to do something now, at once-to begin her search for Roy tonight. She must find Roy before Phil Martin did.
 The one thing she could do now was to go to Izzy Myers place on First avenue. She did not expect to find Roy there from what Shive Frank had said, but there might be some of the gang present through whom she could obtain another clue that would lead her to Roy himself.
 She picked up the snapshot and the photograph in the silver frame, and carrying them into her bed-

that the selling price of copper in 1929 was considerably higher than in 1928
 Fish Shipments Less
 Detailed statistics show decline in the total value of shipments of fish and fish products as a whole, for 1929 from the year before. This is accounted for primarily in the canned salmon and herring indus tries, which suffered from a shorter run of these fish than for 1928.
 Canned salmon shipments from Alaska for 1929 amounted to 253,- 167, ASA pounds and $39 9,568,214 in value. This is a decrease of 33,- 814,7O7 pounds and $6,980,719 in value from 1928. Shipments of cured or preserved herring amount ed to 97O0,382 pounds and $943, 750 in value for 1929, which is a de- crease of 8,690,962 pounds and $780, 637 in value from the preceding year.
 Shipments of fresh and frozen halibut, however, showed a slight increase. There were 14,049, ,733 pounds of halibut shipped during the year at value of $1 ,909, ,213, or an increase of 854,865 pounds and $222,812 in value for the year
 An increase was shown also in the value of shipments of fresh and frozen salmon, although a de- crease is noted in the number Of pounds shipped A total of 6,82o, 279 pounds were shipped at a value Of $86571 which is an increase of $53,957 but a decrease of 95,561 pounds from 1928. Shipments of cured or preserved salmon showed a pleasing increase of 64,974 pounds and $2S9,175 in value over 1928.
 aa Furs r;cK Up
 F'urs and fur skins shipped from Alaska during the year amounted to $5226,422 or an increase Of S578, ,583 Among the live animals shipped were 1,644 sheep, 788 blue fox and 729 mink.
 Shipments of reindeer meat for the year amounted q to 1,384,075 pounds, which is an increase of 65.- 622 pounds over 1928 The value of these shipments, however, shows q decline of $12,523.
 Importations of merchandise, gold and silver from the United States and Canada to Alaska. for 1929 amounted to $34,655,72 a note worthy increase of $2,018,89o over 1928. Despite a decrease in the total value of merchandise shipped from Alaska, there was a satisfac- tory balance of trade in favor of the Territory of $37 ,4o6,950 for the year 1929.
 Following is a detailed table of Alaskan exports during the year:

And now she restored the auto matic to her handbag and stood for moment inspecting herself criti- cally in the mirror. The result satisfied her. She was all in black, naturally-her fathers death had been very recent-and she was therefore as inconspicuously dressed as she could be. She could dc nothing more in that respect. She eXtinguished the lights and let herself out, locking the front door behind her. She lifted hel shoulders in grim little fatalistic way, and, descending the stoop started to walk quickly toward First avenue.

ALASKA TRADE LARGE DURING
 YEAR OF 1929
Imports Greater, Exports Less than During
 Previous Annum

While imports showed an in- crease of $2018,890 over 1928, ex- ports decreased s2,787245, bringing the total value of Alaska com merce for the year 1929 to $106,- 718,396 or s769,355 under the to- tai reached during 1928, according to the annual report for 1929, re- leased today by U. s. Collector of Customs J. c. Mcbride.
 The total value of exports for the year 1929 was SIP ,062 ,673, while imports totalled $34,655,723. Tn 1928 the total of exports was STA }49, 918 and imports were S32 636,- 333.
 Records of figures in the Customs Office show that 1928 was an un- usually high year, the fourth high est in history. The balance Of trade in favor of Alaska in 1920, vas s37 7,406,9 $50 as against $42,213,- O95 in 1928.
 Gold Exports Larger
 The total declared value of ship ments of gold from Alaska mines in 1929 amounted to $7126,724, an increase of S775,520 over the pro- duction the preceding year, at tributed to increased output by both lode and placer mines.
 Favorable weather conditions such as a good supply of water and long season materially assisted pro- duction. Practically all the large dredges recently installed in the Second and Fourth divisions were active curing the year, and most of them showed an increased out put of gold, MT, Mcbride said in his report. A pleasing increase is noted in the production of gold from lode mines, and is attributed largely to the increased output from the mines of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company here.
 Shipments of copper ore for 1929 amounted to $8,710,567, an increase in value of $1,928,912 over the pre- ceding year The quantity produc- ton, however, shows decrease of 1 ,388,527 pounds The increase in value is accounted for by the fact

Fall meeting. in the school house here
last night, Endorsed the proposed or
ganization of an Arlington County
school federation.
This action was taken after the pur-
poses and need for such an organization
had been explained by Arthur Orr of
Lyon Park and Frederick P. Dewey of
Clarendon. The various parent-teacher
associations, the speakers declared, are
doing good work in school matters
in their respective communities, but
there is no school group to look after
school matters that affect the county as
a whole. and that is the purpose of the
proposed organization. With the school
system continually growing, the pro-
posed school federation can be of in
valuable aid to the school authorities,
they said. -
