SYNOPSIS: Frances Lind aay's reconciliation with her husband has written the finish to her romantic hopes regard ing Fergus More, she tells her cousin, Nora Lake. Nora re- calls Fergus kisses, vehement ly bestowed when she had con- fided her plan to elope with Jon Thayer, and considers this in relation to Fran's state ment that Fergus had been more attracted to Nora than to her. After a sudden flight, NCra's father returns and faces possible prosecution by Jon's wife, Damon, for having tried to steal credit for the late Nicholas Thayer's paintings Full of condemnation fer his own artistic worthlessness, and bitter against Damon, he goes to SEC her. Suspecting that he plans revenge, Nora and Fergus are alarmed when a search near Damon's home fails to disclose them.

him. And as he talked, Nora saw that at last he would have a place to live, place where he would be free to work, where his explosive words and mad schemes could hurt no one,
 She said as they came out of the woods and trod the snowy path:
 "Oh, Julian, I'll never be afraid again.
 When she came down next day from the office she found Jon waiting for her.

ages, administer the funds that Damon would put at his disposal.
 ''lJo I will not run off with them, I can see it in your face, my child Besides it's impossible" he ad- mitted But this is to be a ere tive school for struggling artists. And Damon sees now that with my spirit, my vision, can put it on it's feet. have only to interest certain well-known artists in it."
 He talked on and on. He was happy. Years had dropped from

Chapter 35
A TURN IN THE PATH

Fergus arm steadies the trem- bling Nora as they paused on the quiet path by the river She turn ed to look at him.
 You don't know me-the real me-I've always longed for the things I didn't have. To belong somewhere, to someone, someone that cared what became of me. I was fearful too. Fear, that's the answer. If I hadn't been afraid l wouldn't have married Nicholas. When I came home wanted so desperately to have Jon love me. That is why lost him. And now Julian-Julian," she whispered the name. I've always been afraid for him. All the things I have been afraid of have come to pass"
 Perhaps it was your fear that created the things" Fergus said.
 DO you think my fear has made Julian do this?"
 Again she felt the reassuring pressure of his hand on her arm as he said, "We'll strike off through the woods"
 How silent the woods were. The hemlock branches laden with snow trailed the ground, ice made fairy frcnds across the bushes and they moved through the soft snow with out sound. But here there were footprints.
 "Oh, Fergus, if find them. Ii nothing has changed all my life will be different. I won't be afraid any more!"
 The path turned sharply. Nora sprang forward with a choked cry. She saw her father leaning against a tree and Damon in grey fur coat seated on a log They were talking quietly. They looked up when they saw the two approaching and Julian Lake lifted his arm with his inimitable grace.
 His wine-colored eyes were danc- ing, his brown thin cheeks red dened by the cold and when he spoke, his voice had it's old light hearted timbre.
 They have followed us. Tracked us down!" he greeted them.
 Nora introduced Fergus to Damon. Damon rose, austerely sweet, her pale face in the ghostly white light that the snow laid over everything seemed to be lighted from within.
 "Your father and have been talking. He will tell you about it, she said extending her hand to Nora.
 Nora caught her fathers arm and held it tight against her. She clung to him as though she would never let him go. The other two turned and went on ahead.
 Why this wild affection?" Julian Lake said looking down into her face.
 "Nothing's happened to you :. you're here have you. Oh, Julian. no matter what happens, we can bear it now!"
 'Nothing's going to happen he smiled.
 They waited until the other two were lost to view Then her father began to tell her with an enthu- siasm that was boyish, that Damon was not going to prosecute him. Nicholas pictures were to be put in a permanent collection.
 But why-how-"
 T told her I was going to Kill myself. But the water looked so cold-I got one foot wet when she called me back. She said she would forgive me. for Nicholas sake" her father said with a wry twist of his mouth. But enough of htat sad tale. Nora, my own, have a plan"
 Nora's heart sank.

fifteen, but then he had believed anything was possible Now he was meshed in his conflicting desires. And for the time his de- sire was for her. She saw it in the glance he gave her, she felt it in the very atmosphere between them But she strained back from him imperceptibly.
 Your fathers going to that colony in Vermont. He's very keen about it, isn't he?"
 Yes" she smiled.
 You and I are Tree"
 He had come out on the river road now and he slowed down the car; one hand on the wheel, he steered negligently while he gave her all his attention.
 T thought said Jon, i've could go off at once. We won't tell any one. That's the best way"
 Jon, don't want to go now"
 Only last week."
 But things are different since last week. I'm not afraid any more"
 That's just the reason Did you know that Damon is going to leave me? Doesn't that make a difference?"
 He waited for her to show some feeling but only a little movement touched her face Ike the faint ripple across pond.
 Nora, what's happened to you?"
 T don't know" she said honestly. Its only--that I don't want to go with you. I could never feel secure. You will forget me in little while"
 "It's that beastly young doctor, that Irishman, what's-his-nama!"
 Its no use, Jon"
 "I'll make you comel You will come, do you hear? I've always had everything I wanted. I shall have you"
 Her silence seemed to madden him. He sent the car forward with a lurch. At first she was not aware of what he was going to do. Then she saw that he was trying to freighten her into submission. The road seemed to shoot from beneath them and Nora clung to the side of the car, her teeth clenched.
 He must be little mad. There was some intrinsic flaw in all the Thayers that verged on madness.
 She braced her feet against the footboard and sat rigid in her cor ner. At last she cried when his speed became unbearable;
 Jon, are you trying to kill us?"s
 The words were torn out of her lips. Now his driving was like a madman's. He grazed another car as he flew past, rocked around corner on two wheels, while the engine seemed to split the air with it's roar.
 The air tore at her hair and stung her face like needles. Tele- graph poles veered toward them crazily and seemed to bend as they passed them. The motor had set- tied down to a steady drone, and the wind screamed in her ears as the car swept on.
 Somewhere out of this confusion, Nora heard the shriek of an ap- preaching train, and then suddenly she saw it sweeping down toward the crossing, a veil of smoke blow ing back from it. Now she could see the engineers frantic signal, waving them away, while another blast sounded. ,yee
 Jon was going too fast now to shove on the brakes There was only one thing to do. His foot jammed the accelerator to the floor as the car hurtled into the path of the limited

"I1l drive you home" he said.

'Ill drive you home" he said.
 She watched him thread his way through the traffic recklessly. He seemed different to her. Or was it she who had changed? She only knew that his restless vitality as it showed in his voice and gestures tired her, that he no longer had the power to stir her senses. She looked at him with a cool observa- ton which she might give to a stranger. Here was the same boy that she had met when she was

HOPE TT IS THE LAST.

During the past ten days, U. $. Dep y N.1s!lal Hans Wick of Petersburg, made two arrests After making the first arrest, it was necessary to send out the street cleaners to wash down the street where arrest took place and it was further necessary to wash out the, car in which the man was taken to jail. In the second instance a woman re- monstrated with the marshal for brutally kicking his man who was more unconscious from be- ing dragged bumpty-bump down the steps, after he had been handcuffed.
 In ordinary drunk cases, when viciouSneSS is absent it is possible to arrest most any man without the need of blackjack or lead billieS. Such actions bring dis repute upon the office, officer and may lead to suits against the bondsmen of the marshal of the Division himself when, no doubt he does not even tolerate such animal brutality.

JUDGE BARS THIRD DEGREE

Atlanta, Ga, has 9 judge who refuses to tolerate unjust treat ment of prisoners, white ol black. Not long since, Judge J l.. Humphries of Fulton Superior Court, ruled out two alleged con- feSsionS of two Negroes which Were said to have been obtained by use of hird-degree methods Judge Humphries excoriated such methods, and asserted they were a discredit to both the Po- lice Department and the police men using them.
 The judge expressed the hope that he had heard the last of brutal treatment of prisoners by officials. He then asserted that the confessions were void, hay ing been obtained under duress The jury acquitted the Negro who was on trail, and the case against the codefendant, also a negro, was nolle pressed.

MAKE YOUR APPLICATION

Capitalistic United States has refused to recognize the Soviet Government, officially. Capital istic United States is more than delighted to receive order for commodities during the past year from Russia in excess of s4OO,OOO, ,OOO. But at the same time Big Business demands that an embargo be placed upon So- viet produced goods.
 Russia has turned it's trade to other countries and has formed an alliance with Germany just at a time when the United States can ill afford to add to the unemployment problem.

constant drain on the service appropriation. The logical move would be for the Government to absorb this loss out of general funds and not charge it against any enc service.
 Attempts to "Snipe" at Alaska are resented by the people of the Pacific Coast. If economy is the object money can be saved else where. Alaska has poured mil lions of wealth into the coffers of the United States. The Ter litory should be aided until it can stand on it's own feet. Alas "a needs a helping hand. The Government can make it poss- ible for people to make :,

THE BREAKDOWN OF LAW
 AND JUSTICE

"A civilization that will suffer crime to pass unpunished, and will view without agitation the evidence of working alliance between crime and the forces upon which society relies for crime repression, must quickly alter it's ways if it is to be saved. That this condition is nation wide, particularly in our great CT cities, is fact which none dispute. Today we read of self constituted committees of citi- .ens in cities throughout the land, organized for the purpose of detecting and punishing crime in order to save the public order from utter collapse. In our larger cities it is obvious that some members of the judi ciary are sitting not only on the Bench, but 'on the lid,' screen ing wrongdoers from punish ment and interpreting not the law of the land, but the wishes of dominant and corrupt polit- ical organizations. ."-Bainbridge Colby.

WHY SHOULD WE CARE

In 1921 the earning of the Indian fishermen were so pitt able that We saw men go and buy one can of milk today, loaf of bread tomorrow, a dimes worth of Spuds the next and so on. He just could not earn sl:f- ficient to get even ordinary quantities at a time. Many men laid in harbors unable to pur- chase gasoline to even return to their homes.
 Those days taught the Indi9n a severe lesson and he has bene fitted thereby.
 Conditions not dissimilar w!.l be this summer. Low prices for salmon; regulations which a } so discriminatory as to prevent the fishermen from securing more than enough to eat. T.,a resident fisherman is going to cinch up on his belt this year. The Indians are putting in their gardens of potatoes, carrots, r"- tabagas; they are going to put up thelr canned meats, canned berries. canned fish and this will mean just that much trade lost to local business men. Al d then when the fisherman set ties up with the canneryman, he has perhaps $100 for his soason's work. He squeezes the bills tightly and then with pen in hand, sits down and orders winter shoes and clothing from mailorder houses. And that is more competition for the resi- dent businessmen.
 Looking like the cat which ate the canary the United States Government now sits back sat- isfed with skipping Russian trade from it's doors. In like manner, Alaska business has been skipping it's local business away by refusing to understand the problems which must be met or giving assistance which in the end means real develop ment of business in Alaska. The thing to do immediately is to take care of the local trade by seeing that labor is fairly treat ed and is given opportunity to earn greater spending power. Are we right or wrong? If we are wrong, tell us about it and put us right. But please, all don't write at the same time.

A CITIZEN BY BIRTH, A
 CAPTIVE BY LAW

What shall we think of this: That of the 250,000 Indians who have been under the absolute control of the Indian Bureau for fifty years, the majority of these today cannot read, write, or speak the English language? Yet fifteen years ago, the then aS- sistant commissioner of Indian Affairs publicly declared that the Indian Bureau school sys- tenn twas one of the most effi- cient school systems to be found anywhere in the United States or in the civilized world"? So far, We are unable to understand the facts, we are inclined to ac- cept as true the following from "The American Indian: Captive or ClCIZen.
 Our bureau of Indian Affairs, founded as it is, upon it's Seper- ateness from our form of gov ernment, and it's arbitrary re- straint, or control. of all the civil liberties of the Indian, in cluding his personal liberty never has, and never will "edu- cate" or make the Indian "self- sustaining" but will continue to make him more dependent, more servile-less 3 man and more a serf.

Railway and Marine News

Railway and Marine News
 The recent Congress, now passed into history, seems to have taken a peculiar delight in "ragging Alaska" The unfor- tlnate child of Uncle Sam in the North was the object of un- friendly Congressional attention apparently for no sound reason. The proposal to cut the annual appropriation for the Alaska Railroad, meaning disastrous increase in rates, was followed by bill which would have giv- en authority for the sale of the Washington-Alaska militia r V cable and telegraph service. sThe government has vested great sums in the cable and wireless service, owning approximately $500 miles of submarine cable Sale of these facilities would undoubtedly result in higher rates, thus adding another han dicap to the many under which Alaskans are now struggling. In some quarters it is said that the cable and wireless service en- tails, a monthly loss of approx mately $30.0OO.. This deficit is charged against the army, which has control of communication.
