Alaska's Mild Winters

Boosters Of Alaska have always insisted that one Of
the great obstacles to the proper development Of that
potentially rich territory is the current misconcep-
ton Of its winter weather.
A western magazine points out that the lowest
temperature recorded III Sitka. Alaska, in the past
100 years is four degrees below zero. In the year
1927 the lowest temperature recorded was y above
while on 10 days during that winter the mercury &C
tually rose above the freezing point.
There is a record that a great many towns in the
states can envy. If Alaskan winters can be that
mild, the boosters complaint that we over-estimate
the unpleasantness Of Alaskas climate would seem
En- be justified.

Aren't you ever going to fall in

She heaved q deep sigh. although
she laughed, too. He saw the sad
ness In her eyes. and he wondered
and wondered, having no tnkling
Of the truth.
"Bastien." she went on, "Chum-
my hasn't been near me since she
first came-that was four days ago.
What has become OF her? Do you

Dummont thought 1t strange that

He thought he would look in at
Chummy's studio on his way back.
II was then about half past six.
The day had been one OF melting
heat, and the atmosphere was dark
and threatening. IL felt like 3
storm. A few heavy raindrops fell
as Bastien reached Chummy's build
Ing. He hoped it was not the break
up Of those wonderful, golden DAYS.
Not a sound was to be heard in
the building. Dumont reached her
floor and knocked at her door.
There was no response. He knocked
again with the same results.
He tried the door, then. and
found that 1t was not locked; so
he went in.
Chummy's place was rather dark
at all times. There was a little dark
lobby that led into the studio. where.
Of course. 1t was light, but "a curtain
shut off the entrance. Leading out
Of the lobby on the right was q dark
passage that led into the tiny gall
lery where Chummy's cooking was
done. Her bedroom was on the
other side of the studio.
The storm made II even darker
this evening. Dumont stumbled
against a tall oil jar that was
meant to hold umbrellas. He called
out Chummy's name, but there was
no reply.
Jus. as he was going out. he
smelled gas. the odor was strong. He
thought Chummy must have gone
out and left a burner on. He had
better look into her gallery; so he
went along the little passage and
opened the door Of the tiny kitchen.
Here the fumes OF gas we're al
most overpowering. He dared not
light a match. so he CROPPED his way
forward. as the little place was al
most dark.
He gave a cry as he nearly fell
over something soft. Bending, he
found that IL was Chummy. quite
unconscious. her fair head lying al
most in the gas oven, the door Of
which was open. He began to choke
and splutter. as he felt for the gas
burners and found them all turned
full on. When he had turned them
off. ne picked up Chummy and
carried her into the studio.
