SOLDIER GIVES
PHONEY CHECK

A swindle disclosed at the head
quarters of the Third Corps Area,
U. S. A., in Baltimore, was today
reported to the War Department.
Some days ago a florist in
Uniontown, Pa, the report states,
was approached by a person
claiming to be a sergeant in the
U. S. Army on duty with the
Civilian Conservation Corps. He
was in civilian clothes and told
the florist his sister had died in
Cleveland and that he wanted to
telegraph flowers to the amount
of 81. The florist cashed the
mans check of $14 and gave him
$40 change.
The florist in Cleveland wired
the Uniontown florist that there
was no such address as that given
by the sergeant" The check
was drawn on the "Quartermas-
ter Bank of the United States
Army" and was signed with a
name purporting to be that of a
lieutenant colonel of the Army
Finance Department. Neither the
bank nor the name of the lieu
tenant colonel given by the swim
dler could be found.

was unreasonable and he be-
came angry; they parted, and
only last week he had read of
her engagement to Tom Siddall.
He had been drinking heavily
since Sue broke the engage
ment, but his mind had been
almost blank since he read of
her impending marriage to Sid
dali. But-a man must go and
woman must follow, and if
she doesn't follow-there is
always Scotch.
He turned back from the
penthouse porch to face the
excited Layton.

came in, sir" he gasped.

chuckled Durant.
"Mr. Siddall'S been arrested"
said the valet. "Murder!"

AS though an eraser had been
drawn across his face, lassitude
and dullness disappeared from
Durant's features. He Snatched
the paper from the valet's hand.

didn't have to. That was the
point. Gazotti had money
enough to engage his own
lawyers, but after a talk with
Durant he had dismissed his
former attorneys. And the
whole world knew that Durant
had defended the criminal be-
cause he wanted to. That
seemed to class him with the
underworld.
Those people of whom he
thought highly enough to ex-
plain the intellectual delight he
got from riddling the case
against Gazotti merely shrug-
ged their shoulders and turned
away. There were other ways
of stimulating the mind, weren't
there? Why didn't Durant go
in for one of those other ways?
Why had he found it necessary
to defy the opinion of his
friends?
And Sue Leonard, lovely
little Sue, had weakened before
the gale of opinion. She had
told Durant that their engage
ment would end unless he
dropped his new career. She

CHAPTER TWO

Reluctantly Layton prepared
the drink. Durant swallowed
deeply. The fog that had
Shrouded his brain seemed magi-
cally to lift, and the fingers that
deposited the glass on the table
no longer trembled. He glanced
over the morning papers,
shrugged indifferently, put them
down and opened the mail. He
smiled as he tossed the letters
aside. GWennie Curtis engage
ment had been announced in
yesterdays papers, yet no en-
graved announcement had yet
been sent to him. Jimmy Mon
tague was being married today,
and yet no invitation to the we'd
ding had belatedly been deliv-
cred here. A year ago, Jimmy
and he had been pals. Today
he wouldn't be an usher when
Jimmy walked up the aisle.
He climbed from bed and
strolled to the Fernch wondows
that opened upon the porch.
The sun shone brightly and he
could see the shipping in the
East River; he marveled at the
tracery of the Queensborough
Bridge. The city hadn't
changed in the past year, and
the people hadn't changed, but
he apparently had. He wasn't
respectable. When all the papers
and the people in the streets
cried for the blood of Tony Ca
zotti, Jackson Durant had vol
unteered to defend the alleged
murderer.
Dropped by Friends
Men cut him at his clubs:
women were not at home when
he called. The spirit of lynch
law ruled the city. Gazotti was
a gangster and per Sc ought to
be executed. But jackson Du-
rant had noticed a flaw in the
newspaper evidence against the
gangster. Out of purely intel
lectual curiosity he had called
upon Gazotti and offered to de-
fend him. He had won the most
brilliant victory in the annals
of the criminal courts of New
York. The jury had freed Ga
zotti. But all of Durant's
friends thought it henious that
a member. of 1.-The Mallet and
The Course" should become an
underworld lawyer.
For Gazotti had been Public
Enemy Number One. and it was
an affront to decency that
man of Jackson Durant's stand
ing should defend him when he

Mere Days S. E. Alaska

aska Game Commission today an
nounced changes in game and fur
regulations for the 1933-34 season
to become effective on July 1, 1888.
Fur
An open season for the taking of
beaver in Fur Districts 2. 4, 5, s,
and 7 will be the same as prevailed
this year, January to May 10. In
addition to the Chandalar drainage

Tanana river above and including
the Volkmar and Big Gerstle Rivers
will be closed. In this portion of
the Upper Tanana there will be an
open season for marten from No
vember Is to February 20 with a
bag limit of 10 per trapper. Bag
limits for beaver remain the same
as this year excepting on the Ke-
mai Peninsula in Fur District 2
where it is reduced to 10 per trap
per The closing of the Chandalar
and Upper Tanana drainages are
by request of the residents and the
reduction of the bag limit on the
Kenai Peninsula is a result of re-
duced numbers of animals through
intensive trapping during the past
two seasons.
The opening of the season for
mink, land otter, weasel, fox and
lynx in Fur District 5 has been ad-
yanced and will open on November

Refrigerator Fund To
Start at Hospital Tea

A special interest is being shown
in the Hospital Day Tea which will
be given Sunday (Mother's Day.
from 2:30 to 5 in the high school
auditorium because of the use to
which the silver offering which one
may make at the tea tables will
be put. The need of a refrigerator
at the hospital is so pressing that
| it cannot be ignored through an
other summer and as it has been
found impossible to date to pur-
chase this piece of equipment from
the general fund, every cent given
Sunday will be used as an initial
payment.
The auditorium will be trans
formed into the most attractive
place that willing hands, flowers
and extras can make it. Wrangeil
cooks are baking their choicest
cakes for the occasion and both
tea and coffee will be served A
musical program will be given at
intervals during the afternoon so
that it my be enjoyed in part, at
least, by those who cannot remain
for the entire period. A bevy of
young ladies will serve the guests
at small tables and the receiving
committee will see that strangers
are made to feel at home.
The Hospital Day Tea is one OF
the pleasant occasions of the year,
always, and 1t gives an opportunity
to help that worthy institution &C
cording to ones means. No fixed
| charge Is made for the refresh
ments. Whatever one can afford to
give is dropped into a receptacle
on the table and the sum total will
