T found them willing listeners to reasons why AL aska should be put in the same category as other Territories have had, and inclined to believe many of our local problems would be solved shortly If Alaskans had more power of legislation and adminis- tration over their own affairs" he said.
 This IS significant, to my mind, in view of the fact that the Demo- cratic Party's candidates are pledged to work for complete Home Rule for Alaska, and I am sure if we are successful in Novmeber, we can obtain just what we want and what the Territory needs in that res

AUDITOR COLE HOME
 FROM WESTERN TRIP


 After a weeks absence. Auditor Cash Cole returned home last night from 8 trip to Anchorage. He made the journey as Secretary of the Territorial Board of Road Com missioners to investigate applica- tions for a new road project.
 Due to reductions in rail operat- ing personnel and a cutting down of general railroad activities, con- ditions on the Alaska Railroad are not as lively as earlier this year, MT. Cole said. He predicted a quick recovery, however, since the re- zion is regarded as on a sound economic basis.

and his face was stung by flying grains Of
plaster. He spun round with . whine Of rage.
Mr.. Reeder had long-barreled Browning in
his hand with a barrel-shaped silencer over
the muzzle, and he was staring at the weapon
open-mouthed.
NOW how on earth did that happen2" he
asked IN wonder.
Lew Kohl stood trembling with rage and
fear. his face yellow-white.
"You-you swine!" he breathed. "You tried

Mr.. Reeder stared ut him over his glasses.
GOOD gracious-you think that? Still think
ing Of killing me, Kohl?"
Kohl tried to speak, but found no words,
and, dinging open the door, he strobe down
the stairs and through the front entrance.
His foot was ON the hrst step when some
thing came hurting past him and crashed
to fragments at his feet. It was q large stone
vase that had decorated the window sill Of
Mr.. Reeder's bed room. Leaping over the
debris Of stone and flower mold, he giared
NO into the surprised face Of Mr.. J. q. Reeder.
"Iu get you'll" he spluttered.
"T hope you're not hurt?" asked the man
ut the window in q tone Of concern. These
things happen. Some day and some hour"
As Lew Kohl strobe down the street the
detective was stiu talking.
Stan Bride was at his morning ablu-

looked Fitzroy Square.

"Now together" grunted Lew.

picked up the lamp and, kneeling down, flashed

the house into the drive. And q miracle had

PUT up your hands, Kohl" said q voice, and,
hateful as it was to Lew Kohl, he could have
fallen on the neck of Mr.. Reeder.
At IL O'Clock that night James Tithermite
was discussing matters with his bride-to-be:
the stupidity Of her lawyer, who wished to safe
guard her fortune, and his own cleverness and
foresight In securing complete freedom Of action
for the girl who was to be his wife.

~ WHO4e Cfl1nB GuIueO upon the question:
as to whether Mrs Tithermite was good
or bad sailor" explained J. q. Reeder to his
chief. IF she were bad sailor, It was unlikely
that she would be on the ship, even for five
minutes. without calling for the stewardess.
The stewardess did not see her 1adyship, nor did
anybody on board, for the simple reason that
she was not on board! She was murdered
within the grounds Of the manor: her body
was buried beneath the hearthstone Of the old
lodge and Tithermite continued his journey by
car to Dover. handing over his packages to q
porter and telling him to take them to his
cabin before he returned to put the car into
the hotel garage. He had timed his arrival 90
that he passed on board with q crowd of pass
engers from the boat train, and nobody knew
whether he was alone or whether he was &C.
companied, and, for the matter Of that nobody
cared. The purser gave him his key, and he
put the baggage, including his wife's hat. into
the cabin, paid the porter and dismissed him.
Ohicially, Mrs. Tithermite was on board for he
surrendered her ticket to the collector and re-
ceived her landing voucher. And then he dis
covered she had disappeared. The ship was
searched. but. Of course, the unfortunate lady
was not found. As remarked before"
"You have q criminal mind" said the chief
good humoredly. "Go on. Reeder."
Having this queer and Objectionable trait,
I saw how very simple matter 1t was to give
the illusion that the lady was ON board and
decided that II the murder was committed. It
must have been within few miles Of the
house. And then the local builder told me that
he had given Tithermite little lesson in the
art OF mixing mortar. And the local blacksmith
told me that the gate had been damaged, pre-
sumahly BY Tithermite's carr had seen the
broken rods and all wanted 10 know was when
the repairs were effected. That she was beneath
the hearth In the lodge was certain. Without
q search warrant It was impossible to prove Or
disprove my theory, and myself could not
conduct private investigation without riskng

our" he said apoloeetically.
The chief was thoughtful
"Or course. you induced this man Kohl TO dig
up the hearth by pretending you had money
buried there. presume you revealed that fact
In your note book? But why on earth did he
imagine that you had . hidden treasurer"
Mr.. Reeder smiled sadly.
"The criminal mind Is q peculiar thing" he
said, with o sigh. 1T harbors Illusions and
fairy stories. Fortunately, understand that
mind. As have often said ="
