Alaska Washington Air days Reports on Its
 Business Here

Air minded? Yes, indeed; South east Alaska is. Since last April, on an average, g persons have flown 729 miles every day in planes of the Alaska Washington AirwayS alone, and, besides, there has been considerable travel in privately owned craft and in ships of other aviation companies.
 According to the report for the season beginning April 25 and end ing October 10 filed with the Ter ritorial Highway Engineer here by A. B. Hayes, manager of the Alas ka Division of the Airways, its sea-

planes during the period carried I3,951 passengers; 1913 pounds o1 freight and express, in addition tc regular baggage; were in, the aiI 1,019 hours and 31 minutes, and traversed 122.518 statute miles.
 Nature of Flights
 Of the, total of 3,951 passengers 3,024 made cross country trips trips where destination was diff Iferent from starting point-and 927 took sightseeing flig h t ts-flights which began and terminated in thc same place.
 At various times, five seaplanes were in the service of the Airways They were the Skagway, Wrangell Petersburg, Sitka and Taku.. There were two bases, one in Juneau and the other in Ketchikan. With the close of the season, the Airways has transferred all its planes. to the Seattle base, where they will be used on the triangular route between Victoria, Vancouver B. C., and Seattle.
 May Come in December
 The company may possibly sene plane to Juneau next December and base it here for the remainder of the winter. In any event, MT Hayes declares, the Airways vii resume activities in Southeast Alas ka in the spring, possibly as early as March.
 In the meantime the hangar floats at both Juneau and Ketchi- kan will be improved and enlarged for next. years business.

and a divan 1t was lighted by an
/ electric bulb higher than a man could
reach even by standing on the table.
! Clearly enough he was not the first
/ occupant.
Twelve feet up in one wall was a
| ragged opening. Roscoe's handouts
/ had been removed by the Negro who
! had escorted him to the place. At the
moment of release from their torment
he had weighed chances. His numbed
arms and useless hands had decided
. the issue. He must wait.
! He dropped down onto the divan.
His pipe and tobacco were still in his
/ pocket And now, the agony in his
arms having passed and muscles be-
| ing restored again to normal, he lighted
pipe and began to think.
| "Boss!"
! Roscoe started
| Lieutenant"
A bearded face protruded from the
| opening above! 1t was that of the
blind guide.
"Yes?" said Roscoe sharply.
You don't recall me, sir. I didn't
| know, not when we was comm! My
eyes is gone, you sse, and you never
spoke. Besides, there's times when I'm
cuckoo an all! But I'm Tom Flynn, sir,
/
The Corcoren!" Roscoe exclaimed
and stared up into the sightless eyes,
Flynn! 1t is! Flynn! Flynni Can you
| get me out?"
LAS easy as kiss me hand Hoof up

The end of rope dropped at Roscoe s
feet. He dashed out the tobacco from
his pipe and put the briar in his pocket

In the narrow tunnel above, he grasp
ed Tom Flynn's hard fist.
What are you doing here, with this
gang?"
1T isn't that I'm with the gang, sir, II
| Flynn replied and his voice was pa
| thetic. But they've taken my caves
and l love them. I know every inch OF
them. There's supposed to be no way
| through here! But here we are! They
think they know all. But there's miles
and miles OF wonder, sir, they've never
never Seen-and never will see. The
woman is here tonight. I don't mind
the women. But the prize swine of the
bunch is here, too. Him I've marked
! and me time will comet"
Who d'you mean?"
"They call him Head Centre, lieuten-
ant. He has to go back tonight around

But how can get out, Flynn"
''Havin' heard the trouble about En-
trance Number One. sir-I heard every
thing that's said down here-I would
suggest that way, your honor!"
Then for heavens sake lead me

Follow me, sir"
They began to crawl along the low
! tunnel. 1t was not high enough to allow
a man to stand upright 1t terminated
