MRS, MARTEN
 IS OVERLOOKED
News of Finding of Burke s Plane Revives Hopes
 of Wife

WRANGELL, Alaska, Nov. 26.- Mrs. Bob Marten, who has been waiting here for news of her hus- bard lost with Capt. E. J. A. (Pad- dyJ Burke and Emil Kading, is overjoyed at the information that Pilot Everett Wasson has sighted Burke's plane.
 "Oh, boy, doesn't that sound good. Poor Bob, he's going to miss his Thanksgiving turkey this year, y said Mrs Marten.
 Although discouraged at the dis dressing news during the past weeks, Mrs Marten was always hopeful and pinned her faith on the advice of an old timer here who stoutly maintained that Burke was frozen-in and unable to travel until the weather settled or h. dians found him.
 No word has been received from Pilot Everett Wasson who was sup
 
 posed to have hopped-off from Whitehorse yesterday to return to the scene where he sighted Capt. Burkes machine, frozen-in at the headwaters of the Liard River. Pilot Wasson believed he would find some message at the plane indicating where the three men aboard might have gone, or at tempted to have gone.
 No word has been received re- garding the search by the United States navy planes for Capt. Robin Renahan and his two companions, Sam Clerf and Frank Hatcher, missing since October 28 while en- route from Seattle to search for Capt. Burke and his party.

Continued from Yesterday

The weeks which followed
were filled for Ardeth with a
strange sense of waiting. Hush
ed expectancy underlying the
days and nights; a mysterious
foreboding which set up a flut-
ter in her heart-rising in her
throat to stifle her.
Though what she waited for
she could not tell.
The desire to see Ken had
been madness in the first few
days. She called him up. His
voice was strained and tired
even curt. He would not see her
and she knew he stayed away on
her account.
The resignation for which she
had battled so long was gone.
Bitterness welled in her heart.
"Fools-fools. that's what we
are-standing like three figures
in a chess game" she whispered
to herself. Wasting life!"

Silence. The heavy silence
of one who pretends not to be
there.
At Toms motion Ardeth put
her lips close to the crack and
pleaded. "Dear-it's Ardeth!
Aren't you going to let us in?"
Her heart leaped. Surely
oh, surely she's heard a little
startled mobement.

Toms arm and pointed to

intense need Of the moment

She was at Ken'S window

She had a glimpse Of him-at
the desk writing and she saw
his startled face turn as she
succeeded in flinging UP the
window.

like a man suddenly deprived

HOT WATER
HELPS

Why is hot water more de.
sirable for laundering than
cold? AS you may have OBJ
served when you cook, solid
matter dissolyes much more
easily as the water grows
warmer. This principle applies
not only to foods. but to dirt.
That is one reason why soil
and most kinds of stains are
washed from fabrics more
readily in warm or hot water
than in cold.
The same principle applies to
soap. Most soap forms lather
more quickly in hot water than
in cold. and it's the SudS that
do the work. Save on soap and
hot water and you are taking
much of the burden OF wash
ing onto your own shoulders.
When stacking plates into
the rack to drain, first. dip
them in cold water. This makes
them dry with a clear gloss.

Ardeth Felt Cheated

A sense of outraged justice
shook through her, lashing her
to madness. She was being
cheated of the sweet and nat
ural things Of life, the things
which were her due. And she
was only asking what was right
"a, home like Mary Eastwood
had-another small Chickadee
with Ken's eyeS-Ken'S smile.
She saw herself growing older
going through life in a prim
routine; thwarted, futile, like
Jeanette, but without Jeanette's
merciful ability to deceive her
self.
Cards had come from Jean
cite during her wanderingS
about Europe, and letters on
thin foreign paper scrawled
with her bold angular writing:
The poetry club had ended
in unpoetical and feminine fire
works. jeanette and an angular
Spinster were touring the coun-
. try now by themselves. JEAN
cite, Ardeth shrewdly suspected,
would eventually settle in Paris
and become one of the restless,
aciduous expatriated Americans
which infest that good-natured
city.
Wildness seized the girl when
she thought of jeanette, Oh,
life for her must mean more
that that!

seemed that the vicious circle
would never break - Tom

Then they jerked him out of

guard knocked softly and
opened the door almost stimuli

drew Kent inside with him.
Kent saw here at a glance a
modernly equipped office-an
office which might have been
one Of a hundred thousand IN
the city he had left. But an
office with a distinctly original
outlook. For through the great,
plate glass window at the other
side could be seen the high
walled prison yard, now almost
deserted. as it was after lookup
