Tarzan of the Apes paused to listen and to
sniff the air. From a great distance faint
sounds came to his ears-sounds that no other
human ears could have heard. Something
strange had come into his African Jungle
Silently. the Ape-Man swung into the trees
and moved swiftly in the direction of the
sounds. For when strangers came the Lord
OF the jungle always investigated. Because
man, alone of all creatures, brought change
and strife and trouble into the iungle's peace.

On the threshold-just before
they left the room-Mark turned
and clapped hand on his fathers
arm. Dad" he said, funbling for
the words, II wish I could tell you
how I appreciate all this"
That's all right"
TINE interview was ended. The
l. pair sauntered down the cor
ridor to the elevator car. Through
out the drive to the east side apart
ment their talk was of irrelevant
subjects.
The big limousine paused long
enough for Mark to step to the
sidewalk, then darted away. Thirty
minutes later F. M. Travers was
relinquishing his hat and coat to
a servant.
where's Mrs. Traverse" he asked.
Il think she's in her room, sir.
She said dinner would be at 7:30."
yes, of course"
Travers mounted the stairs heav-
lily. He was not unusually stout,
rather WILL built for one of his
years, but he had worked hard all
his life and moved customarily as
though he were tired.
Before door at the head of the
stairs he paused and knocked. A
voice inside called "Who is it?"

Travers opened the door. His
wife, in a low-cut gown of gray
lace, turned from the dressing table
and came toward him. "Oh, Frank
-" she cried, did you see him?"
Her husband nodded. He placed
a matter~of kiss on her fore
head. 81 did" he announced.

"The grill" Travers repeated with
an unpleasant smile. She'll be

Il judged, though, that it might
be about business. He-he seemed
very anxious about this matter"
Listen, Johnson, this is on the
level, is it?"
"Oh. absolutely You know me
better than to doubt me. You
know 1 wouldn't interfere in your
private affairs nor those of your
father. I'm carrying out instruc-
tons, Mark"
But I've got a job I don't have

JOHNSON had risen. He seemed
- delighted that his mission had
been a success. Before Mark could
interrupt, the man was gone. The
food Johnson had ordered remained
untouched on the counter.
Mark frowned. Here was a stu
alton indeed! Johnson had rushed
away assuming Mark was commit
ting himself, when actually he had
done nothing of the sort.
"I don't have to CO." Mark told
himself. Il don't have to go just
because Johnson thinks I will. Now,
what in the world is Dad up to-?
Does he really mean it, I wonder?"
Complete surrender on the part
of F. M. Travers seemed too much
to expect Yet his father had sent
for him. There was consolation in
that thought.
If Mark went it would be because
his father had made the first move
toward reconciliation. That was in
deed a triumph!
"And if 1 don't CO." came the
afterthought, "old Johnson proba-
bly, will get Hades!"
Mark lunched with the problem
still unsettled. He thought of it re-
peatedly throughout the afternoon.
At 5:45 he was standing in his
fathers luxurious carpeted private
Office.
"You mean" Mark said, slowly,
"that you'll do all that? You really
mean it?"

his desk chair. 81 will That and

ALASKA HOME FOR RIDDLES
 NOW OPENED
Children s In s titu tion Is Formerly Established
 at Douglas

The Alaska Childrens' Home, sponsored by the Pacific Protective Society, Alaska Division, has final ly begun to function in Douglas. The Board of Guardians of the First Division, consisting of Judge Justin w. Harding, U. s. Marshal Albert White and Mrs. A. P. Kashevaroff, sent to Douglas last Thursday five children for the modest beginning of the home Four of these youngsters are al- ready in Mrs Davis school. This Children's Home was or ganized for the purpose of giving custodial care for the dependent and delinquent children of the Ter ritory under the supervision of the Boards of Guardians of Alaska. It is an undenominationa home with special emphasis upon the home idea A series of cottages is planned which will take care of the segregation of these wards of the Territory to avoid what the social worker calls "institutionalizing" the children.
 The Matron is Mrs. Lena C. Shaver. The society that has un- dertaken this work, the Pacific Protective Society, Alaska Divis- ion, has for its officers and di- rectors, the following:
 Superintendent, Philip E. Bauer; President, Mrs. Harold Smith, Ju- neau; Vice President, Mrs. J. P. Williams, Juneau; Secretary, Mrs. Robert Brown, Douglas; Treasurer, Rev Harry R. Allen, Juneau; L. w. Kilburn, Mayor, Douglas; H. D. Stabler, U. s. District Attorney; H. T. Tripp; Dr. R. McAuliffe and F. A. J. Gallwas.
 The home is at present in a six room cottage, with all modern conveniences, and nicely furnished, located on St. Anns street, near the northern boundary of Doug las. A yard and nearby meadow will offer play grounds for the children.
 The Superintendent says that this home will save the Territory $500 on all the children formerly sent down to the states for GUS todial care, and it will offer as good and probably better training in industrial education than real- ly would fit these youngsters for usefulness in this northland.
 Other children will be sent to the home by the first of next month

SORSET RETURNS TO WRANGELL ASSURED
 OF BUILDING FUND

A. Sorset, Wrangell business man who represented the city here dur ing the consideration and passage by the Legislature of resolution directing the purchase of $40,c0o of Wrangell school bonds by the Treasurer, returned home today with assurance that funds for the securities would be available by May 1.
 It was largely due to his ability to convince the legislators of the great need for a new school build ing at Wrangell, and that if no assistance was forthcoming from the Territory, there was little chance of getting it before an- other year, that the resolution was enacted.
 He was deeply appreciative of the legislatures tre m n t of WrangelIs petition, and of the aid and cooperation given him by members and others, officials and private citizens.
