"Fenderton! Fenderton Roper, you're not
going to leave alone in this car"
DUT already Fenderton had left her alone in
= the car. He did not dash madly toward the
dark house, however, but climbed the low wall
into birmingham Park Bending low behind
the wall he hurried back until he was opposite
the dark house and there he saw an indistinct
male form behaving in a most suspicious
manner
Mr.. Durfy was, in fact, having a difficult
time getting into his sister Sallys house He
had tried the front and back doors and all the
ground-foor windows without success, and now
he was looking up at one of the side windows
on the second floor

lot and there he found a ladder hung against
the side of the garage. A canary and three
goldfish could not be allowed to starve to death.
Fenderton Roper crept back behind the wall.
May" he whispered. "May!"
My goodness, Fenderton!" May exclaimed.
"You nearly scared me out Of my wits"
"Shush!' said Fenderton. 1T is a crime;
it's kidnapping or something. Can you back
the car May?"
"Of course, back the car Fenderton
Do you want me to back the carp"

ton. Keep the motor running silently and
wait"

under the park light opposite the dark house as
Fendenton had directed
With what seemed to Fenderton brazen in
difference, Mr.. Durfy-to Fenderton only a
nameleSs hurglar-placed the ladder against
the home and climbed it. He entered the
window and was gone quite a while and then
came down the ladder bearing bird cage.
He placed this on the grass and climbed the
ladder again and was gone even longer, but at
last he appeared in the window again. He had
in one arm a large goldfish bowl, and he
steadied this the windowsill while he closed
the window.
Unfortunately, the bowl slipped as Mr.. Durfy
turned to pick it up and it crashed against
the ladder and broke. resulting in shower of
glass and water and goldfish, and Mr.. Durfy
swore quite audibly He came down the ladder
and gathered up the goldfish. He had nothing
to put them in but his pockets and he dropped

COMMERCIAL
 AVIATION IN
 NORTH GROWS
Figures Are Prepared by Sawyer Primary Law
 Is Given 0. K.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. B. Special Correspondent A good idea of the growth of commercial aviation in Alaska is given in fig ures prepared by Ernest Walker Sawyer. Commercial aviation made its appearance nine years ago in Alaska. A special experimental air mial contract was made to carry mail from Fairbanks to McGrath, a distance of about 300 miles. when this system was inaugurated, mail was being transported by dog sled. It required IT days to make the trips compared with ? hours and 45 minutes by the first air trip. Once the advantages of air-mail were demonstrated, progress in the development of this means of transportation has continued At present there are 67 aviation flieds within the Territory and five hyd- present there are 67 aviation fields vary in size from 250 to 500 feet to 400 by 1,4O0 feet. Fairbanks and Anchorage fields have two runways 400 by 2,000 feet Governor George A. Parks states that the total aid to aviation has been approximately $l80,0O0 and that the economic benefits have justi- fled the expenditures. In 1881 there were six commercial aviation com panies, one each located at Nome, Fairbanks, Anchorage, Chitna, UI- neau, and Ketchikan. An Airwsy weather service has been developed by the Weather Bureau because of the progress made in aviation. Reports are made regularly and aerial navigation is aided through this service. In 1927 there were 10 commercial planes. They transported l6 tons of express A total of 4l5 passengers were carried 6o,0O0 pas ssnger miles. The machine that year flew 95,o0o plane miles Tn 1881 there were 26 planes which flew SS1 ,234 plane miles, carried 7,947 passengers, and flew 947- 695 passenger miles, and carried 161 ,7l8 pounds of mail and express In 1880 the 24 planes then in use carried s,654 passengers a total of 84,361 passenger miles.

 The Alaska Women's Primary Law Club has directed a letter of inquiry to Delegate Wickersham as to his views on the primary law of Alaska. The judge has replied that he has always favored the primary for Alaska and believe that it is highly essential that the present law should prevail. other wise there would be proxy nomi- hating conventions dominated by handful of manipulators in both parties, who would thus prevent the thousands of men and women voters from expressing their pre- ference for the candidates whom they desired as party nominees.

must be played at one of North's two
suits, showed his preference for
diamonds.
His three diamond bid became the
final contract.
The Play
Each had rather difficult open
ing. He dare not lead from his
tenace position in hearts or clubs,
and to lead a diamond might cost
his partner trick, SO he selected
his jack of spades as the least dan
gerous lead.
North, the declarer, won in his
own hand with the king and re-
turned a small diamond, going up
with the king in dummy.
West won with the ace and con-
sidered carefully the possibilities of
defeating the contract.
He could count two diamond
tricks for his side, and believed his
partner had the ace of hearts. How
ever, that still would not defeat the
contract, unless some club tricks
could be developed.
The heart must be led first so that
declarer could not discard his losing
heart, if any, on dummy's good
spades. When declarer ruffed, West
knew that the only chance of de-
feating the contract was to find the
ace and queen of clubs in his part
ner's hand.
That possibility seemed remote, in
view of North's club bid, but it was
worth trying.
West was in on the next lead
with the queen of diamonds and
laid down the nine of clubs.
Declarer flnessed the jack, but
East won with the queen, laid down
the ace, and returned third club
for his partner to ruff, thus defeat
ing the contract one trick.
Any other defense would give de-
clarer opportunity to make his con-
tract by careful play.
