SYNOPSIS: Sinister death threats against Annabelle Querdling, elderly spinister, alarm her household. Her neigh Dor, Donald Wade, learns of them and sends her niece, Eve lyn Blake, to L0ndOn, to con- suit young lawyer and anna teur detective, Jimmie Hasweil, his cousin. Evelyn calls and dis closes her fears. Jimmie notes her blushes when he observes that new cuff links, gloves and a tie, wCrn by her compan- ion, Lionel DuckwOrth, suggest his birt day, and quickly ecents romance between the two. She confirms his differences, but tells him that Miss Querdling, with whom she and a sister, Marjorie, live, frowns on this as well as all other love af- fairs. Told that the woman has TO real enemies and that the police have taken the case in hand, Jimmie advises them to worry no further.

can certainly claim her ancestor.
 You are not fond of her?" asked Jimmie as he watched his drivc end it's run far down the fairway Donald hit a longer ball, not quite as straight. AS they strode along he replied.
 T used to think her an old og- ress. My father lived here, you know, before he went to Midgley Moor, and both the girls, Marjorie and Evelyn, were sweethearts oi mine. But Aunt Annabelle did not encourage little boys. I was rather afraid of her, but I believe she really does lot of good. She is the local Lady of the Manor, lady of high and mighty manner, and every one must do what she wants just how she wants it. Then she will be unsparing in her kindness always loved the place, and wher Nancy and I married the patel bought Pathways for us."
 Evelyn brought her fiance with her. What sort of a chap is he?'
 Quite all right-sings well, anc not too bad at this game" Their paths diverged, but they met again on the green. "WnaJ apouJ the letters?" he asked a little later. Did they discover who sent them? Were there any more?"
 "The old lady still gets them, answered his cousin, but no ont knows where they come from. The girls were very comforted witt what you told them"
 They played on until they reached the end of the course As they dit so, Jimmie recognized decidedl, fat man who was trying a fev shots with a mashie.

 That sounds promising. How are you getting on?" q
 Pretty we'll" Then, more seri- ously, he inquired: Heard about the tragedy?"
 What tragedy?' Jimmie thought he was still talking golf
 "Old lady in house over there. y He pointed across the links. Died last night. Some say she was murdered"
 "An old lady?" cried Donald, who had been listening to their banter. Mot Miss Querdling?'
 q think that's right" said the man. "A name I had never heard before. Some one brought a mes sage to the clubhouse" l Jimmie and Donald looked at each other. What an extraordinary thing it would be if such a fate had after all befallen the lady they had been talking about!
 T will go up and inquire" said the latter. The clubhouse stood on high ground, and he dashed up the steps that led to it. In g few moments he was back, pale ano excited
 Tt is true enough" he said tc Jimmie. Miss Querdling died, ol was killed, last night. No ont knows much about it. Let's leave Jour clubs here and go over to set If we can be of any help.'
 Jimmie assented. They handed their bags to the caddie- master ane hurried obliquely across the course towards Merrow Craig, the Querd ling place.

BOXER, FAMOUS
 ARCTIC VESSEL,
 ID BE REPLACED
Seattle Times)

Nearing the end of her days, the famous little power schooner Box CT, supply ship of the Alaska Di- vision of the United States Bureau of Education is to be replaced soon by a larger and faster ship and will spend her declining days in less arduous duty.
 Funds for the new ship, which will be of not less than 1900 net tons register and will cost not to exceed $400,000, are provided in the first deficiency bill just introduced in Congress.
 The new vesesl w:il serve North ern Alaska and the Alaska Penin- sula, making three trips a year. The Boxer will operate in the pro- tected waters of Southeastern AL aska for three or four years and then will be sold by the Govern ment.
 May Be Ready Next Summer
 Plans for the new ship are vir- tually completed. She may be con- structed within the next six months and may be ready for service next summer. The Interior Department will advertise for bids as soon as authority is granted by Congress
 Accommodations for thirty pas sengers will be provided in the new ship compared with accommo- dationS for ten in the Boxer. The new vessel will have wooden hull sheathed to protect her from the ice floes of the Arctic. She will be equipped with diesel engines of 1,200 horsepower and will be cap able of a speed of IA knots com pared to g knots, which is about all the Boxer can make in good weather.
 The new vessel will have refrig- orator space for 2,000 reindeer car cases, compared to 800 carried by the Boxer Aboard the new shir will be clinic attended by a phy- sician and a dentist.
 Ship for Game Commission The Alaska Game Commission is | planning an $88,600 vessel for serv- ice in Aleutian Island and Boring Sea waters, which is provided fol in the deficiency bill. She will bt constructed under supervision oi the Bureau of Biological Survey following plans already drawn by the Territorial game commission.
 Still another item in the defic- iency bill is $73,000 for vessels ans floats for use by the Forest Service in Alas6t. It is planued to spen( $50,000 for a 70-foo5 vessel for tn, Forester at Juneau, $18,000 for ; smaller vessel for use in supervis ing wood pulp contracts, and $5, 900 for two smaller vessels for lol scalers.
