R Rrcloal CXvntephv Wen 4. Asabm% ss%sI, l MYSTERIOUS WAVE . BElS BEzS f5GZt SfAt

SYNOPSIS: Dr. Charters had thought his American criminal career a closed chapter until the mysterious John Wave ap- pears at his nursing home and demands an alibi for the mur- der Of Spider Schlitz. The al- formative is the exposure Of his checkersd past. Charters has s.clen the entire proceeds of the St. Clair diamond haul, leaving his two confcderates Schlitz and Chink Dorson, in jail. One Of his former gang associates IS now the respectable Mrs. Lau- derdoll, whose niece, Marjorie, is i'll at the nursing home. Wave, admitted to the strange asylum, feigns madness to ex- plain his presence and his ex- clamaticn "RCs3mary!" when he meets Marjorie suits the pcSe. In a conference with Charters, Dr. MacAdco, whose medicine seems to have made Marjorie worse, suggests that Wave be bumped eff"

 What do we do if Scotland Yard trails him here?" asked Nurse Jones'
 Tell them to take him and hang him quick" growled MT. James.
 "Very helpful" snarled Dr. Char ters. "Whered you be, as well as some other people, by the time he's said his say? And, mark you, he's in a nasty mood. Wish to Heaven I could place him, for he places us all right, and means to see that we get what's coming to us."
 Well, whatIl we do if Scotland Yard trails him here?" repeated Nurse Jones.
 His idea is an alibi. Been here a week-as you know" replied the Doctor.
 Difficult" observed the Matron, though it was real luck that Sis ter Weldon had been on leave. told her the man in Room 19 wasn't patient at all, but friend of the Doctors own-perfectly well, but eccentric I think she swallowed it."
 Difficult perhaps, but we've got to do it." continued Dr. Charters, and with two doctors, the matron, and nurse, we ought to get away with it. If one of the dicks was asking me if a tall, ugly, clean shaven guy had bluffed his way in here, I shouldn't recognize the de- scription. I can't remember all the patients clothes, can IF"
 And if he said there was, In this Nursing Home a guy who rath- CT resembled a description they'd had of MT. Theophilus Webb's al- legged murderer, and identified this mysterious Wave tough, I should say:

JUNEAU YOUTH
 WINS PRIZE ON CAPITOL ESSAY
Byron Personeus, Seventh ! Grader, Is First in Na-
 tional Competition

Byron Personeus, seventh grade pupil in the Juneau public school, was awarded first prize of $2 in the Our States Contest that was held during the scholastic week be- ginning February g. Our States" contest is sponsored every week by Current Events, national publi- cation that concerns itself with outstanding events throughout the nation of interest to school pupils and teachers. The Juneau boy chose for his subject "Alaska's New Capitol" and his essay, which was printed in current Current News and which consequently was read in every city and hamlet in the United States, follows:
 "The Federal and Territorial Capitol Building of Alaska has just been completed in the City of Juneau. It is a six-story structure costing $800,000. The building was carefully planned and designed and is built of steel concrete and Alas ka marble When approaching the building the first thing that at tracts your attention are the four large beautiful marble pillars reaching to the third story and topped by a balcony extending over the entrance. The floors of the halls and stairways are made of re- enforced concrete overlaid with marble The public dedication of this, Government Building was held February i4."

ANNUAL RECITAL, T RINlTY CHOIR, IS NEXT SUNDAY
Special Program Being Ar ranged for Presenta-
 ton at Cathedral

The annual recital at Trinity Ca- thedral will be given this year on Palm Sunday, March 29, at 3:30 pm, by Frances Tanner, violinist. Crystal Snow Jenne, vocalist, and Dorothy Fisher, organist, assisted by the full Cathedral Choir.
 It is not permissible to make a charge for anything given in the Cathedral. The choir depends largely upon voluntary contribu tions for new music and this year a considerable sum is needed for new books.
 Near the entrance will be placed receptacle for the voluntary good will offerings of those who care to show their friendly interest in this way. No offering will be con- sidered too small or too large to be appreciated by the choir, from the widows mite to the million aires check.

mouthed silence.
 Bluff growled MT. James. T say bump him off before he does anymore mischief. He knows too much. Yes, what does he know? And who is he?
 "Yes, and why exactly should he come to us, to hide?' asked Dr. MacAdoo
 We'll replied Dr. Charters, that London solicitor he talked about, either will or will not turn up Sir Bernard Matthieson either will or will not. write and ask me if I have any objection to consultation about his patient, MT. Wave. We might look silly if we couldn't pro- duce him; and, moreover, he says he's written to half-a-dozen peo- pie, giving this address and saying he would on no account leave here without letting them know in ad- vance.
 Secondly, as to what he knows, believe me, he knows a sight too much. Nevertheless, pumping off is easier said than done.
 And easier done than undone, . he added And for who he is, don't know him, but he knows me, and he knows Jimmy all right. Whether he knows Manoel Ma chado, Frisco Fanny and Louie the Lady, remains to be seen.
 "Lastly-why he should come to us. Where could man he-up bet ter than in a famous Nursing Home of the highest repute?"
 Especially when he's got the bulge on the Boss" observed MT. James, unkindly.
 Cant bump him off, for fear we have to produce him" said pr Charters patiently. Cant kick him

and call us and any number of ether people, in evidence-and get him certified mad before he squeals on us. Put him away for keeps and then, the more the poor lunatic tells the world-the more they'll put the handcuffs and the strait -waistcoat on him and sling him in the padded cell"
 Dr. Charters and his colleagues stared at the speaker.
 You've said something, Jimmy, calculated the Doctor. Get him certified mad, and put him away for life; and the more he acts mad now, the tighter he'll tie him.

here when the murder was com- mitted. Been here for days
 Then if rang for Dr. Emman- uel MacAdoo, who is in charge of the case, and said:
 Doctor, on what day did MT Wave enter into the Nursing Homer and the Doctor said he'd been here since Tuesday week, and then sent for the nurse in charge and the matron who got his room ready. wouldn't that dick apologize for all the trouble he'd been giving me?"
 "Mightn't the dick ask for Waves fingerprints?" asked Nurse Jones. No" replied the Doctor Even a dick wouldn't have the face to ask Dr. Charters of The Monastery, to let him take the fingerprints of gentleman whom he guaranteed to have been here on the date when some murder was committed Anyhow, we've got to take a chance he added, flor this ugly devils got us in a cleft stick. He's | got us as tight as we've got him. 1 And he's got second string for a let-off. If he's pinched after he leaves here, he's going to act the lunatic if we refuse to give him an alibi He'll try to get past, as | mt resnnnSihle for his actions then recover his sanity gradually"
 He's certainly provided himself with plenty of witnesses that he's mad, all right" observed the Ma tron.
 Suddenly MT. James smote his thigh.

A TRAP FOR WAY

Bump nothing" interrupted Dr. Charters sharply. Don't you sup pose he thought of that before he butted in here and showed his hand? He's the wise guy, all right. Why, he's actually got solicitor. Can you beat it? And he's coming to see him here tomorrow. And our mysterious MT Wave says he is going to have him here twice a week Bump him off! And another thing, he has actually had the nerve to ask what he called your distinguished colleague, Sir Ber- hard Matthieson,' to come meet me in consultation about his men, tai conditionl"
