she looked at him with something that was almost animosity in her blue eyes. A good looking man, not young; man who would command atten- ton wherever he went. Tall, well dressed, with fast graying hair, and faint lines of world weariness around his steady eyes; a firm chin and a slow smile which when it came, which was infrequent, gave him a quaintly youthful air, as if in an attempt to show the world the boy he must once have been.
 Sondra spoke suddenly.
 How old are you?"
 His smile came now, as for an instant he looked at her, one brow comically raised.
 What very unkind question! I'm nearly 48"
 Oh"
 She leaned her head against the cushioned back of the chair still watching him.
 Whats it like in the Congo?" she asked.
 He looked a little surprised.
 The Congo? |. . I loathed it when I was young man. The conditions are better now, of course"
 Why did you loathe it?"
 He shrugged his broad should CTS.
 Home sickness. I believe - amongst other things. The life was so different to anything I had been used to, and I imagined myself in love, too. which complicated mat ters."
 With Evelyn?"
 Yes, with Evelyn"

SYNOPSIS: Dissatisfied with the dullnes of social life, Sondra Kent wishes she were free to do what she wants, but knows she must continue to live with her married sister, Flora Lomax. She has no money of her own, and as her father had told her, she is attractive but unable to do anything useful. Her father had also told her to marry for money, and this helps her de- eide not to marry Mark Merri- man, whom she loves, but who has no money or prospects. John Anderson would make an ideal husband for Sondra, her sister thinks, but he is mar ried, although not living with his wife. At the theatre with Flora and Lomax, Sondra sees both Mark and Anderson, and thc latter says he will meet her later at the Gaspers'. She plans to ask Anderson to give Mark a position with his business con- nectiCns in the Congo.

Chapter 3 THE CONGO

Other girls seemed not to mind the social round, Sondra thought, and seemed quite happy, buying new frocks and talking about their love affairs.
 Or were they, too, just keeping up a gallant game of pretense? Did they ever long for something more satisfying, as she did? And then back came the old thought if only Mark had got some of John Anderson's money.
 Life was so bitterly unfair.
 Sondra found herself handing her cloak to an attendant and me- chanically poWdering her face.
 A band was playing dance music in great room on the other side of the hall with the wailing notes

of saxophone plaintively pre- dominant; there was the usual crowd of people. Sondra waited listlessly while Flora carefully retouched her lips.
 MT. and Mrs. Benjamin LomaX Miss Kent" Sondra was sick of hearing her name announced, tackled on to Flora's; for an instant she hesi- tated on the threshold of the long reception room, half inclined to run away.
 The evening meant nothing to her-Mark would not be there.
 Then with an effort she forced herself to walk on, and almost at once John Anderson was by her side.
 Do you care to dance?" Must me?" she asked with a faint smile. T believe I'm little tired"
 Well do anything you wish" Well sit out and talk them" They crossed the room to an al- most deserted lounge where the only sounds were the splash of a tiny fountain and the distant music of the band, and Anderson stood beside her as she sank into a chair till she said with slight exaspera- | tion:
 Wont you sit down, too? Or must I crane my neck all the time to look up at you?"
 He took the empty chair beside her at once.
 Will you have cigarette?" | Thanks"

TROLLING TO CONTINUE.

Alaska fisheries regulations issued last winter by the Department of Commerce provided for the sus- pension of troll fishing between August 25 and September 20 in Southeast Alaska except a limited area off the southerly area of Baranof Island coast. This would have worked real hardship on the fishermen engaged in that industry this year. Catches have held up unusually well all season. but
 the prices have been low that most of the trolers have made little more than current operating and living expenses. To have laid them off for almost 30 days just before Fall and Winter storms set in would have handicapped them seriously and made it difficult for them to get through the Winter without assistance. Without any suspension it is possible they may need aid before Spring Sensing this Commissioner OMalley has prevailed upon the Department to set aside the original regulations and permit operations to continue without inter- ruption by closure. It was timely action for him to take and that all of Alaska really appreciates.

mine to point well beyond Cowee Creek, the end of the present road.
 The highway will be 20 feet in width, and will include new bridg-
 es throughout. The bridge at Lawson creek will be a fine steel structure built higher up to elim- mate as much grade at either end as possible Upon the availabil- ity of funds, which have for the present year, at least, been with drawn, depends the starting of the highway project. However, it is the intention of his department to keep the present road in repair, MT. Williams said, and to that end some regarding work will be start ed in a few days. A number of turnouts are to be built along the road to permit cars going both ways to pass each other. Early in September the bridge over Lawson creek, which is about ready to fall in, will be replaced by a similar bridge. This work has been approved and allotment made

it, too," Sondra said languidly.
 "She did. She stuck it out for three months, and then she came home, and we've never lived to- gether since, as you know" T wonder she has never di- vorced you"
 i've never given her the chance yet"
 No? But well, it seems so futile, being tied together and yet nothing to one another"
 He said whimsically, My dear, you forget that I'm a rich man." She closed her eyes for mo- ment as if to shut out something distasteful to her.
 What is the matter? Something you can tell me?"
 There isn't anything the mat ter. Why do you think there is?"
 T was watching you in the the ater tonight. You looked unhappy" She laughed little. "Unhappy-or bored?"

THE OLYMPIC GAMES.

The Olympic Games the most famous of the four great national festivals of the Greeks They were held every four years, in midsummer but the date varied in accordance with the lunar changes They were fixed as nearly possible for what is August l.
 The origin of the games is lost in antqulty but legend attributes them to Hercules to Pelops who especially worshipped at Olympia The official list of victories began with Coreobus who won the footrace in 776 BIG. There only event in the first games of record the foot race for men. The number of events was gradually increased as time passed. The games were allowed to die out in the fourth century and were not revived until 1894
 In that year. under the leadership of Baron Pierre de Coubertn, whole-hearted French sports man who had been studying revival of the contests for several years, the idea put into action and two years later at Athens the first of the modern Oympads held in the ancient stadium of that famous Greek city. Since then there has been 8 repetition every four years except in 1916 when most of the world at death grips in war and postponement unavoidable. The second of the series was held in Paris in 1900. St. Louis, Mo, in 1904 became the first American city to have the honor of being host to the nations entering teams in the contests. The fourth Oympad was held in London the next in Stockholm in 1912 Then came the hiatus due to After the tramp of Mars naQ SuDSlQed, Antwerp greeted the WOrlQS athletes in 1920 and Paris was host in 1924 for the second time. Amsterdam the scene four years ago.
 The latest of these great gatherings of cham pions of various nations and peoples opened today in Los Angeles and will continue two weeks Despite worldwide economic disorder and attendant political disturbances, it will be the greatest of the modern Olympads. Representatives of thirty mine nations will be present when the parade of nations swings past the grandstands and one from each country appears before the Olympic Committee to take the solemn oath that i've will take part in the Olympic Games loyal competitors, respectful of the laws governing them and desrous of participating therein in a spirit of chivalry of our countries, and the glory of sport"
 The great hold of sport on all peoples is evil denced by the growth of these games since 1896. In that year, when the revival occurred in the zeus l21 contestants vied for the laurel wreath significant of victory Each succeeding Oympiad has found nations represented by larger teams
 It will be the greatest festival of sport ever held, a spectacle unique in the annals of athletic competition Men and women who have reached the highest degree of physical and mental develop ment will meet together in worthy competition dur ing Is days of the games to display new wonders of human achievement. In the past, experts and the public have acclaimed spectacular performances of track and field and other sports as the farthest succeeding games have seen these great records swept into the discard. The Los Angeles contests are certain to see other records smashed and the

DOUGLAS ROAD WORK PLANNED

Bureau Chief Announces Proposals Also Actual
 Improvements

M D. Williams of Juneau, of the Bureau Of Public Roads, was a guest of the Douglas Chamber of Commerce at the regular meet ing which was held last evening. In an informal talk, MT. Williams told the Chamber some interesting facts relative to proposed road and bridge work on this side of the channel. As the result, he said, of the surveys made about a year ago by his men, estimates are all figured and plans have been drawn up for a highway to extend from the old Treadwell

 Someone had pushed open the glass door leading back to the ball. room and the sudden glare of light fell full on Sondra's face and her slim whitefrocked figure
 Merriman had once spent many ill-afforded dollars on a colored en- graving of Romney's most famous Lady Hamilton because it reminded him so wildly of Sondra.
 Her elusive charm, something ethereal and delicate about her, seemed a strange anomaly to those who knew her well enough to know also that she was worldly and lux ury loving and perhaps a little too calculating.
 No fear for you, my girl" her father had told her more than once. No matter how you look, your head will always govern your heart and land you safely on your feet"
 Her head was trying to govern her heart now when presently she spoke again, looking directly at Anderson.

A Costly Experience.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

It is not soothing to be told, after looking at the drying gyrations of the Federal Farm Board that experience is always expensive school. Yet certainly the American taxpayer has paid heavy tuition to learn that the law of supply and demand is still nexorable even in the face of 900 revolving fund. goody portion of the fund went into the market to take off surpuses in the fond hope of begging prices But the prices would not stay begged and the board is the end of liquidation that doubt has helped to de- press the market still further
 At one time it owned some 3O000o00o bushels of wheat Now it has only about 30,o00,000. The great surplus been released in various directions Con- Cross Fifteen million bushels were sold to China, and another 25000,000 swapped to Brazil for million sacks of coffee The board has regularly released smaller quantities into the market. The situation in cotton is similar. The Red Cross re- ceved 500,000 bales, and the Farm Board expects to get rid of most of its remaining holdings in the next year or so
 Of course, all this has entailed tremendous loss of money to the American taxpayer, probably nearly half of the original half-bion fund. If there has been any benefit to agriculture it is not apparent Wheat sold the other day at the lowest price in history of the Chicago Board of Trade But that the lesson has been learned, or should have been learned, we may hope that when the board lquidates the commodities it has held it will not again be permitted to embark on similar speculative flights
 It is fortunate that the prices of hogs and cattle, which now promise to lead at least mild agricultural recovery, were not made the subjects of extensive experiment by the board
