CHAPTER Is. A FRIENDLY WARNING

Certainly replied the flyer, un- blinking. He was our command ing officer in the 199th Pursuit Squadron. Did you know him too?"
 T met him at the Clardige bar in London" acknowledged Ash wood, his eyes regarding a newly healed scar on the pilots fore head.
 Jerry would have given lot to have been able to study the others face, but he dared not betray too great an interest in the conversa- ton. He devoted himself to his breakfast.
 T was with the British" con- tinued the cripple, and Captain Calhoun with three of his compan- ions who were on leave from the front, wandered in to the bar and before long we had joined forces for bit of binge. I have re- membered him ever since because he wore his medals modesGly, held his liquor like a gentleman and was one of the handiest men I ever saw with his two fists in brawl I learned with sincere regret that he was impetuous enough to inter fere when Miss Wentworth was be- ing given her invitation to this house party and that he was slight ly crooked in the ensuing melee '

blue eyes boring into his own.
 That was tough he murmer- ed, pushing back his well-scraped plate. T wish you would con- graduate your chef on these saul sages and bacon. They were de- l:ghtful"
 Fortunately" said Ashwood, toy ing with a strip of broiled bacon, our electric light plant also serves our refrigerator, so we are able to enjoy many of the comforts of civilization. With a fast plane at our disposal, we are able to pur- chase fresh meats, vegetables and table delicacies at three or four cities within a hundred mile radius without attracting undue attention to ourselves, so despite the heat. we are able to live in moderate comfort.
 T have had the entire building lined with insulating material and still the guests complain somewhat about the heat. I scarcely blame them. I was led to believe that the climate would be much cooler in September. Indeed, Floridians assure us that it very unseason- able, but it is just possible that they are biased in such matters. ,
 50 I've heard said Jerry.
 Jerry's trained ears caught again, the sound of an airplane motor One motor? No, there were twoi It cost him much to keep his face rigid mask of polite indifference as Ashwood lighted a cigarette and squainbed shrewdly at him through blue whisps of smoke With an effort, Jerry forced his attention back to the table.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-07-06

MT. Ashwood," he ventured blandly your island certainly has tts attractions, but I imagine that your guests will become restive before long. The climate here seems conductive to frayed nerves. When are you planning to break up the party
 That's a fair question" con- fessed the other with glint of amusement in his eyes. "Ill be frank with you. If you have read the newspapers, you will recall that I was forced to collect a board oil from the friends and families of each of my guests. The cost of entertaining them is high. I may collect one, even two more such bills before I can bring my self to allow this delightful little group to depart.
 Then too," he continued, pour ing himself a second cup of coffee from silver percolator, your ar rival has complicated my future plane. Up to the mooment, my guests have not learned the loca- ton of our island. Beyond the fact it is in the tropics, they know nothing. The tropics covers a large area If I were to release them tomorrow in Chicago and New York, they would not have the slightest idea where to send the officers of the law would feel perfectly safe in inviting another group of guests to spend a few pleasant weeks here. I am hoping that I can persuade you not to reveal the location of the island Otherwise, I should have to con Sider this house party my last"
 Jerry blew rings of smoke through the heated air
 What if you can't persuade me to keep the location from youl gucsts?" he asked.
 Tt is quite possible that you might contract humps, or the itch

HALF OF WORLDS TELEPHONES.

Where the American regards the telephone a necessity the of the world is said look upon it as luxury That is supported by statistics recently compiled by the American Telephone and Tele- graph Company showing on January l, last year, there were in in the world total of ACT telephones of which the people of the United States had 2O2O1576 considerably more than one half of the total.
 The United States and Canada together had more than twice as many all of Euorpe combined. Thirty per cent of the worlds telephones were in Europe and nine per cent scattered far and wide over the rest of the globe.

was an expression around his vii vid blue eyes that was familiar a twist to his mouth that re-. minded him of someone he had once known. Jerry had flown over to London a number of times and had indulged in some notable sprees, he and Emory, with the British flyers. But he could not place Ashwood. References to his own prowress with his fists did not help a great deal. Celebra- tions which had ended in fights had been the rule rather than the exception.
 There had not been a white haired cripple present at any of their parties. This man had changed, perhaps, since their meet ing. Jerry gave up the problem for the moment.
 As the two emerged into the hot, glaring sunshine, the pilot felt as though bottomless pit had open ed beneath his feet

changes which will save countless
steps and no end of inconvenience.
Built-in bookcases are likewise in
expensive, and very smart.
Use for Extra Bathroom
How often have you wished for
an extra bath room? You can have
an excellent one built at moderate
cost. Or your old bath room can
be modernized with tile, or with a
new shower.
OF late the attic has come into
its own as a valuable section of the
house. 1t has rested idle too long.
Now, through the expert use of
wall board. an attic can be convert
ed into a useful nursery, game
room, spare bedroom, den, study,
Or what-not. Any OF these may be
constructed ever so attractively
with slight expenditure.
Porchcs and Other Suggestions
Suggestions for remodeling the
home could go on indefinitely.
There is the delightful breakfast
nook that can be built in your
kitchen. There Is the effort-sav-
ing kitchen cabinet to be installed.
There Is the effective arching Of
interior doorways. There Is the
VI lIOII DOlCiiCSp vic
building of sun and sleeping and
balcony porches, and closing in of
porches.
Painting and Cleaning
Good taste and thoughtful PLAN
ming can easily overcome budget
limitations The services of relia-
BILE painter and decorator may be
obtained at slight expense. Nate
rails are lower-priced than ever be-
fore. In fact; the householder Is
presented with an exceptional OPP
portunity to have his home cleaned
and decorated for almost whatever
he wishes to pay.
Consider what pleasant sur
roundings mean; their addition to
the daily happiness of every men,
Der of the family. Consider the
background for your furnishings.
Consider the impression your home
makes upon your friends. Can you
afford to put off cleaning, painting,
decorating? The wise home-owner
will not wait. He will take advant-
age Of the prevailing low prices.
He will invest. however small the
amount, in pleasant surroundings
for himself and his family.
