 "A more careful blood test was made" went on Wingate. "The spectrum of the blood was charac- teristic of carbon monoxide poison ing"
 The foreman of the jury, sitting with mouth agape, nudged the man next to him, then leaned forward and, with a deprecating glance at the coroner, addressed Wingate.
 Do you mean the carbon monox- ide gas we are always warned about when starting cars in closed garages?" he asked, incredulously.

mold Winslow. Notice of funer-
 al later.
 On the page opposite, under a column heading, appeared a short article, giving the following bare fact: that Paul Kane, we'll known orthopedic surgeon of Bos- ton, Mass, while visiting Arnold Winslow at his country home, had become ill in the night and, seek ing fresh air, had opened the bath room window, lost his balance and plunged to his death on the con- crete walk below.
 Even though located in one of the most unattractive sections of the city, parking space near the morgue was already pre-empted when Thorne got there. At sight of the large car drawn up before the en- trance, his footsteps quickened. Back of the handsome limousine stood a station wagon and Fergu- son, sitting behind the steering weel, nudged Lambert as the de- tective drew near; that worthy bowed respectfully as Thorne ad- dressed him.
 "Yes, sir" he said in answer to the detectives question. Mrs. Winslows just gone in. She told us," with a jerk of his head in- dicating the other domestics from Oaklands occupying the back seat O. the car, Ito stay ere till we're wanted. Dr. McLane's with her, sir"
 Thornes look passed from the butler's eminently respectable coun- tonancc to Ferguson. The gar dener held an unlighted cigar be- tween his lips. chewing and turning i. continuously.
 "Heve a match, Ferguson?" and as Thorne put the question he drew out a box and tossed it into the car.
 Thank e." Ferguson removed the cigar and showed his nicotine Gan ye tell us how long we'll be aWaitin' ?'
 T have no idea" Thorne eyed the man narrowly; his unhealthy color and unwholesome appearance generally was not prepossessing, but his eyes, deep blue in color and keenly alive under their heavy lashes, gave indication of a men tality not in keeping with Fergu- sons slothful habits.
 Without further remark, the de- tective entered the building, moved up the aisle and sat down by Leon ard McLane.
 Mrs. Winslow sat on the physi- clans left; she made no response to Thorne's low-voiced greeting, contenting herself with a stiff nod. Her name, pronounced by the coro- ner, echoed through the half empty

NEW HIGHWAY TO PIERCE
 "LAND OF TAILED MEN"
Sponsor of Project Hears Story of
 Picturesque Residents of North.

Seward, Alaska, Oct. 8 R - Alaska's legendary land of the tailed man. will be penetrated by the Gulkana-Nabesna highway, now under construction.
 The road plan was designed to furnish an eventual link to the high way that will extend from Los An geles far into northern Alaska.
 From Slana. the new highway will enter a country that combines a wealth of natural resources, scenery, big game and historic interest, said Donald Macdonald, sponsor of the project.
 Macdonald, who is surveying 50 miles in advance of the construction crews, said he met a. native who told him how his tribesmen had found a race of men with tails. The native told Macdonald these men lived in dens and used no fire.

ever. It was far after one in the morning, and nothing but dire ne- cessity had gotten the girl out of a warm bed. With stealthy fingers she unlocked the side entrance and stole around the house, the letter she wished to mail clutched tightly in one hand. The rural letter box was close to the road and Lucy covered the distance with fleet feet; she had arranged with the milkman, a devoted admirer of hers, to take any letter he might see sticking from under the cover of the box.
 One of Mrs. Winslow's peculiari- ties was having the milk left at the entrance to Oaklands instead of placed outside the kitchen door; the noise of the milk wagon con- ing along their driveway had awakened her for three mornings consecutively when they first oc- cupied the mansion and she per- suaded her husband to build smal! concrete platform and shelter for the milk bottles next the rural mail box.
 Lucy placed her letter where it would be sure to catch the milk mans eye, and then with a lighter heart she ran back to the house. Instead of sticking to the graveled path, she cut across the lawn. read down, hugging her coat up about her throat and across her chest. Coming from behind a clump of evergreens, she caught sight of a gleam of light on the ground be- fore her and glanced toward the house.
 Even as Lucy looked the light grew bl ighter, and against the vel low shades, which were pulled down or all the windows of the room, appeared shadow; it grew in slze, but as it pirouetted this way and that, the mortified girl was un- able to decide whether it was man or woman. One moment the sil- houette assumed giant proportions, then shrank to normal size; sud- denly it's movements grew inten- sified, body and arms whirling in a mad rhythm of motion.
 Haltingly, step by step, Lucy ap- preached the terrace, then the whirling body swung around, the arms were out -flung-and she saw beckoning clutching fingers. With eha St backward and fled to her bedroom in blind. unreasoning panic and covered under her bedclothes.

 Far From Pole
 The new map of the Department of the Interior which has displaced the Mercator Projection with many scientific bodies and many mariners, shows that Alaska-far from the popular supposition-is a long way from the North Pole. Secretary Will bur has caused a wide distribution of this chart, and it has been ac- cepted as favorable everywhere.
 The map demonstrates how com pletely Alaska dominates the Pa ciflc. It is expected to impress future army and navy studies and may, perhaps, as aviation develops, place a permanent squadron on scouting and fighting planes in Fairbanks and Seward, and estab- fish airfields there, where now there are only commercial fields.

 Sometime in the futlIre-and maybe not so many years from now--the none -to-well- city of Fairbanks, Alaska, will assume | a position of great significance in the worlds affairs That is, if aerial travel progresses as rapidly as it has done lately; and if pas- sengers and freight are carried be- tween far distant ports by dirigible airships instead of the slower ocean going vessels and trains of the present time. Indications are that they will Y Tn preparation of such condi- | tion, the far-seeing Department of the Interior, at Washington has prepared a new map of the world, which differs considerably from the commonly accepted Mercator Pro- jection.

 This map emphasizes the inn portance of Fairbanks, Alaska. It shows that city to be the center of world territory available to air. ships with speed and economy, but at present unimportant to world trade because of the current meth- ods of transportation. H
 For example. Fairbanks is distant -by airs direct course-3260 miles from New York and 3510 miles from Tokyo, Japan Thousands of miles of travel now necessary for ships could be eliminated by direct dir igible airship line from New York to Tokyo, crossing Fairbanks and. naturally, stopping there for re- fueling and transfer of passengers.

 From Leningrad, Russia, to Fair banks, is distance of 1920 miles, and from Fairbanks to Los An- geles in another 2460 miles. Weeks of time could be saved in inter national commerce between these two cities by following the direct route. which would take ships dl-. reetly over the North Pole
