I got you into this. I'd like to punch
his face for himl" Nick finished up,
suddenly savage.
She shook her head so violently that
two tears flew of her lashes. Oh
he's just-taking it out on me. I'm
glad-he wasn't worried"
Judy, if I could only pile you back
in that plane and fly away with you!'
Nicks eyes were hot gray steel as ne
said this, and Judy's heart leaped IN
answer. But she managed WY smile.
"If you only could! But after all
Nick, you know we're civilized. ana
things have to move through accus-
toned grooves. We're not up there in
our wild little cabin-worse luck! We're

wood is the world"
You haven't regretted" Nick'S voice
was low and tense. You still want to
1eave-thiS?"
"I love you!" she said simply. And
for a moment she was afraid Nick was
going to take her in his arms and KISS
her, regardless of spying eyes from the
house.
Instead his gaze caressed her. Oar
ling! They turned and walked up the
steps. I'm going to see Eliza and then
clean up bit. I'll have to leave this
afternoon early Have to get to Seattle.
Should have been on my wav this
morning. You'll see me before 7 go?"
Then, at her wordless reply. he said in
a low voice: "Out in that field beyond
the live oaks? Will you do that Judy?
I want you to myself for few min
utes-away from this house and the
others"
"Of course" she said simply.
They saw only Pom as they entered
the house, and the fluttering figure. Of
the upstairs girl, busting the drawing
room. The Chinaboy's face was, as
ever, expressionless. but the maid turned
to look at them with lively curiosity on

A strange distaste creeping over Judy

born. perhaps, of that covert sneer on

At the landing Of the deserted Sec
ond floor Nick snatched her in his arms
for a moment, I'm about an hour?"
After her nod he released her and con-
tinued on up the stairs to madame S
apartment, while Judy went down the
hall to her own room.
The white and yellow room, flooded
with early sunshine and leaf pattern
from the oaks outside the window,
made the whole adventure curiously
unreal
Had it only been yesterday afternoon
since she had left this quiet room
What startling changes had come about
since then! She thought about It as
she took off her crumpled suit and drew
the water for her bath That gorgeous
gold and purple flight in the clouds.
The breathless descent to the mountain
valley. And the madness Of mountain
moonlight and Nicks love. .
She was bathed and dressed in less
than an hour and whistling to Sideslip,
who came tumbling in yelping delight
from his kennel she started for the
field Nick had mentioned. She wanted
to escape the confines of the house. 1t
weighted her spirit with dependency
Its gloomy stateliness spelled restraint,
and Judy's excited happiness wanted no
damper
She was sitting on a sun-warmed
boulder. throwing sticks for the ecstatic

dignation now. She was about to an
swer angrily, then she saw Nick step
from the other car. He was coming
over to them. Nick-tal and brown
strong and fit, making STAINS slender
body a trif1e weak by contrast. Don't
have trouble. Oh, that would be
unthinkable With Stan diSllking Nick
as he did, she must be careful. Be tact
full Any casual remark might set fire
to the straw of STAINS petulant wrath.
"Stan"-Nick's crisp, pleasant voice
sounding now-"Tm awfully sorry we
had to scare you like that. If there
had been some way Of letting you know
We were all right"
"oh, don't worry" STAINS white
smile was almost sneer. I knew you
were equal to any situation which might
arise"
Nick's expression grew uncertain. Be-
came astonished. He spoke again, his
tone still pleasant, but his eyes watch
full.
1T was unfortunate that I asked
Judy to let me take her over the noun
tains. If we'd been forced down in the
valley we could have got to telegraph
station. Clogged gasoline sounds pretty
simple down herein civilization, but
it's no joke miles from any airport,
particularly when daylight was failing,
1t was Just a string Of unfortunate cir
cumstances. We we're lucky to land
where we had shelter. I thought there
was some one at that cabin who could
drive us into some railway point, where
we could send you q wire. But when
it was deserted-well of course, there
was no chance to do anything but wait
for daylight. Poor Judy-a harmless
experience enough, but sort Of startling
for an amateur"
Very romantic, indeed. I'm sure
she enjoyed it" Acid in STAINS
smile. IN be getting along. I'm late
now"
He jammed in the gearshift so sud-
denly that Nick was forcd to jump back
out of the way.
The two he left behind him stood
silent in the pathway watching the
gravel scatter behind his rear tires un-
til the car swung out of sight between
the two tall gray stone pillars Then
Judy's wide eyes came around to find
Nick's gray gaze bent upon her.
Pretty sore, wasn't hep" Nick's voice
was tight
"Oh. That's STAINS way. You
know how Stan Is. Then Judy
stopped, because her throat seemed to
close up on the words. Anger, hurt
within her. She felt her eyes fill with
tears, and she turned, to find Nick
close beside her, holding her cropping
hand.
Judy, oh, gee, dear kid, I'm so sorry

T was perhaps unfortunate that the
car which brought Judy and Nick
up from the Lockwood airport that
Il morning should turn in between
the gate posts of the Carter house
at the Identical moment that Stan
chose to swing his own roadster out OF
the garage on his way to an early golf
appointment at the country club.
Stan. handsome and sleek in white
f1annels and a white and green jersey,
his olive face cleanly shaven, the sun
plistening on his thick black hair,
smoothly slicked back, made Judy
keenly aware of her own fugitive ap-
pearance, Made her realize that she
had missed her morning bath. That
her brown knitted suit was crumpled
from having been slept in. For some
reason this contrast in their appear
ances made her vaguely uncomfortable.
Nor was she placed more at ease when
she saw Stan intending to swing around
their machine and continue on down
the driveway.
"Stanl" Judy called, waving fran
tically. "Wait!" The sun was directly
in stan's eyes, after all. he might not
have recognized them. You take the
car around to the garage" she said
hastily to Nick, while run over and

she ran over to Stan. You got my
wire, didn't YOU? Were you dread
fully worried, Stan?"
Stan had reached for his cigarette
case. He lit the cigarette. snapped shut
the lighter and returned 1t to he pocket
OF his jersey before he answered.
"Oh, sure. Got the wire this morn
ING Worried? Well they said at
the airport you might have had trouble.
] figured you knew what you were
doing"
His tone was light. The black eyes
looking into her own, narrowed in the
morning sunlight, were mocking too.
But Judy's heart sank. Black fury be-
hind that light mockery.
What I was doing q. don't
know what you mean. She was furious
at herself as she felt her cheeks getting
hot. There was no reason for her to
feel guilty. Why should she blush like
this in front of Stan!
well, you seemed to know what you
were doing when you went up with
Nick. I suppose you were willing to
take the risk" He blew a cloud OF
blue cigarette smoke from his lips.
The risk. OF breaking down, you
mean?"
What else could I mean, my dear?''
Strange, she had never before noticed
how cruel could be the line of STAINS
smile! Her cheeks were hot with in

pensive droop to her sensitive mouth.
Character there had always been in her
face, but the disillusion Of this mar
riage with Stan had strengthened and
refined what had been beauty Of youth.
This trim sophistication was reflected
in her dress. Judy had been unable to
resist wearing her newest Autumn en-
semble for Nick's approval. Bottle
green, slim and longlined and smartly
buttoned high under that lovely, stub
born chin. The small matching hat,
turned far off the face, held the same
sure smartness of line. BY contrast,
her forehead was clear and white and
her hair sunny brown.
Nick missed the artful simplicity of
all this-a fashionable deftness which

FINANCIAL GROWTH

The Bank of Alaska report of the
financial condItion of the branch
bank at Wrangell at the close OF
business on Feb. 15, 1917, gave an
accounting OF total of SS7,S40.lS,
according to old Sentinel files. De-
posts amounted to S69,72O.13.
The bank statement recently pub
lished reporting at the close OF bust
ness on Dec. 81, 1881, has a total
of a little over a quarter of mil
lion dollars, $25O,S25.7S, to be
exact, with deposits aggregating
S207,349.S7.
Inquiry at the bank brought out
the fact that the number of indi-
vidual depositors has increased in
the same proportion, all OF which
makes an interesting showing OF

GROWTH OF UNITED
STATES TERRITORY

The 10 original States had an
area of approximately 21S million
acres. After the Revolutionary War
peace treaty was signed with
Great Britain in 1888, which ex-
tended the boundaries of the Unit
ed States westward to the Missis-
sippi River, northward along the
Great Lakes and south to the south
ern border of Georgia. This gave
our country a total area of about
531 million acres, the area having
been more than doubled by this
treaty.
Twenty years later, In 1903, the
United States negotiated the Louis
lana Purchase from France, again
more than doubling the area of the
Nation by the addition of some 757
million acres. The price of the
Louisiana Purchase was approx
mately 100000, SO that the cost
of this land to the Government was
about two cents an acre.
This territorial expansion con-
tinued rapidly. In 1919 the purchase
of Florida from Spain added near
ly 3S,0O0,O00 acres. In 184S the
treaty of Guadalupe Hildalgo
brought in more than $4,000, 900
acres in California and the South
west. Then came several smaller
purchases; 61,SO0,000 acreas from
Texas in 1845 and 28,000,0O0 acres
from Mexico IL 1853. The last large
addition was Alaska's $4,000, 900
acres, bought from Russia in 1857.
Thus, in 81 years, 1888 to 1867,
the territory of the United States
jumped from 21S,00O,000 acres to
more than two million acres, a ten
fold increase.
