'NORTHLAND co.
 i ASKS FOR NEW
 l MAIL CONTRACT
Postal Department Is Re. luctant to Make Agree
 ment for Summer

Whether there will be renewal of the mail contract with the Ncrthland Transportation Company which operates the motorshlps Northland and Norco between Se- attle and Southeast Alaska ports, has not yet been decided by the post office department. The win ter agreement expired yesterday March 15. Application for renewal was made by the company some time ago.
 The company gives a weekly service, and it is a mail factor of importance with some of the North ern ports, which, like Petersburg are not ports of call for all mail ships of other navigation lines.
 Letting of another contract to the Northland Company is favored by the Juneau Chamber of Com merce, the secretary of which, G H. Walmsley, recently informed James Wickersham, d le ate ir Congress, of the chambers attitude and asked for his cooperation. The following reply has been received from the Delegate:
 Have taken matter of renewal ot contract up with Post Office De- partment which says contract witt Northland Company expired Marcf 15, and was only made for winter m on hs Department expresse! doubt about making contract fol summer months, but will look intt matter and may do something tt assist Petersburg and other locali ties"

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN
TOMMY waited by the gate,
i longing for a glimpse Of Irene,
seeing lights in the house and try
ing 10 believe that she might be
there wishing he'd come, late as it
was, or writing a note to him per-
haps. A note to tell him that she
didn't want their engagement bro
ken and would marry him as soon
as he liked.
1t was a ray Of hope, but Tommy
wrapped it around himself and en-
deavored TO imagine it a warm
cloak. Should he go boldly up to
the door and ring the doorbel?
No, he had not that much couf-
age. Irene might come out to him
If she knew he was there. He whis-
tied softly. very softly, then little
louder.
Behind the curtain Of an upstairs
room a girl peered out at him. 1t
was not Irene, and he did not see
her. The girls heart was pounding
like a trip-hamner as she knelt on
the floor beneath the window, the
better TO see him.
Didn't he know couldn't he
Then Beryl saw that Prentiss
had parked his car a little beyond
the Everett gate. And it was the
limousine.
Perhaps Tommy did not know
that it belonged to the Gaylords.
Beryl thought that perhaps she
wouldn't have known it herself if it
hadn't had the came motor as that
in Prentiss' roadster. 1t was too
dark under the trees for her to see
distinctly.
But surely Tommy could see
and know that it was not a car
that belonged to the neghborhood.
Could he see Irene with Prentiss?
Beryl shivered with anxiety as
she knelt and watched. No, Tommy
couldn't know yet or he would not
be wlistling there in the dark.
But at any moment Irene might
get out of the car with Prentiss and
start for the house. What would
happen then?
Berry, was thinking less Of the
scene that might take place than
Of the hurt that would follow for
Tommy.
Would Irene care enough not to
cause it? Would she wait with
Prentiss until Tommy had gone
away? Surely she had heard him
wllistling? -
DERYL prayed that Tommy
Id would go away. But he didn't.
He stayed and she could see the
glow of one cigaret after another
as he lighted them and threw them
away after puff or two at EACH
Poor kid, what an awful state he
must be inl She wondered if Irene
had broken a date with him.
Irene had not told her family of
the breaking Of her engagement to
Tommy, but Tommy hadn't been
around all that day, or telephoned,
and Berry, was puzzled.
Then it came to her that Irene,
too, was praying he would leave.
This was true enough, except that
Irene was turning the occasion to
her advantage. When she saw Tom
my at the gate, she had been fairly
petrified for a moment. Before she
could think of what to say or do,
Tommys whistle broke the stiffness
around them.
1t startled Prentiss. Nervous, he
asked sharply: What the deuce is
that?"
Irene sank back in his arms. Its
that silly Tommy Wilson" she said
in disgust, "in a minute he'll be
serenading her"
"Serenading who?'
why, Beryl, of course" Irene
sighed. IF he only knew how she
makes fun of him!"
Prentiss' brows knitted in doubt.

take his planes from service be-
cause of one crash-"as ridiculous
as to tie up all ships because the

He is fighting to get a guar
artee that his planes will never
again be taken from the air in
this manner. But the Govern
ment officials declare such a step
is impossible, and some manner
of inspection must be devised to
prevent repetition of the tragedy.
