The needs of Alaska for addi- tional Coast Guard vessels to pro- tect it's shipping are fully recog- nized by Capt Hinckley who said Division headquarters are working for and hopeful of augmenting it's Efleet with newer and larger ships for local service. Two or three new cutters are now under con- struction and it is expected with their completion that at least one more vessel can be obtained and different assignment arrangd for.
 We hope that it won't be long before we are able to station one of the larger cutters in western Alaska waters" he said ''The need for larger and more modern ves- sel for the Juneau station is ap- parent, and we are working toward that end. You have been very pa tient, and if you will so continue for a while longer, am sure we'll accomplish what is needed"

but the look Of terror fingered in
her eyes. At breakfast he said, Let
me take you away some place until
this has all blown over"
She looked at him. She said life
lessly, You're so good, so kind, but
I can't let you do it. I must go
away and not come back any more.
I have injured you enough.
You must get a divorce and
marry some girl who viii make the
right sort of wife for you. You're
free now. Your mother no longer
owns you. Do what you like. I
shall agree to whatever you say"
His laugh held no mirth. 'SThat's
foolish talk. You need me just now.
Let me be a help. I want to be-"
But you don't need mel" She
began to weep, self-pity rushing
over her like a tide. mo one does"
When the doctor, summoned by
Give, arrived she had collapsed.
Just nerves" the genial man an
nounced. He thought he was used
to the vagaries Of the idle society
woman. Shed be as right as rain
if she had child or two to worry
about" he told Give, smiling as he
buttoned his gloves. He wondered
why the younger man flushed so
darkly.
Nothing wrong in that quarter, is
there?" he asked with the medical
mans casual bluntness.
Nothing that I know Of" Give
muttered.
We'll, that's often a great rem
edy." The physician chuckled. "Tu
drop in tomorrow to see how she is"
TASS came, and had talk with
~ her and in the afternoon Lame
arose and dressed. She was strange
ly quiet. She had a good child's
docility and when Give spoke to her
she answered with humility and
candor.
She tried not to think of Vans
funeral. Other people would come
to pay him respect, but she would
not be there. 1t was part of her
punishment.
In a week she seemed almost nor
NAL again. She was always pale
now and in some indef1nable way
she had taken on an air of matur-
ity Give was deeply concerned
about her.
He acquired the habit of leaving
the Office early and coaxing her to
ride in the park. He wanted to
teach her to drive, but she said
alphabetically, mot now. Later,
perhaps" Her passivity was more
moving than tears would have been.
On a day two weeks after Vans
death, Give opened the door of
their suite with his latch key. He
expected to find Lame stretched out
on the couch with a book. He came
in softly.
There was no sign of her in the
sitting room, so he went to the door
of her boudoir and knocked gently.
There was no reply. After a mo-
ment he turned the knob and went
in.
It was all right, he assured him
self. She must have decided to go
for walk. She would be back
directly. Through the door of the
closet he could see her frocks hang
ing, fragile stuffs fragrant with the
scent she always used.
Then he noticed that her sable
coat hung with the other things.
Curious she had not worn that. It
was cold day.
Troubled, scarcely knowing why,
Give went to his own room. On
the bureau lay square cream COL
ored envelope. He read:
"Clive, dear, you've been won
derful to me. far better than I de-
served, but I can't go on like this.
1 feel a hypocrite in the eyes of the
world. Our marriage was mis-
take from the start.
