We all know that in the last ad-

pursued. if it had been pursued
much further, we would have found
ourselves in a state of war; the only
thing the Government could do was
to back up in order to maintain
peace. and am not saying that that
was wrong.
Here we have the Territory of
Alaska that is an important part
and pGrcel in the proper scheme Of
nationSl defense. The southern coast
of the northern part OF Alaska lies
within 1,400 miles and the south
ern tip of Alaska with 500 miles of
the continental United States.
Alaska is close to the United
States and has many magnificent
harbors and furnishing possible
bases of operations for any foreign
power that may attempt to attack
the United States; but nothing has
been done there by way of defense
In fact, we have gone the other way
In the four-power treaty the United
States entered into a covenant that
they would not put any fortified
tions on the Aleutian Islands west
of Dutch Harbor, which 1 point out
to you on the map.
Here we have a string of islands
running toward Asia. 1t is American
territory and furnishes one, at least,
of the finest harbors in the world
for base for a hostile power. and
we agreed not to put any fortifica-
tions out there. I do not mean to say
that there were not sufficient rea-
sons for that. although it seems in
applicable to me.
Now. it seems to me that we
should place Notifications here, so
that if foreign power tries to at
tack US we can cut in and stop
them. How is that to be done? 1t
can be done Simply by the estab-
fishing of an air base in Alaska.
"A fleet of planes properly
equipped for war could cut in on
any hostile army or fleet, and could
give us ample warning of what is
taking place.
There is another good and sub
stantial reason why an Army air
base should be established in Alas
ka, that is. that it would give the
military pilots some experience in
flying in cold weather in a sub
Arctic climate. which they have not
had heretofore in any proper pro-

she hurried she could still catch the
local back.
When Anabel came to her husbands
yard, the house was dark, but there was
a light in the barn. No need to write
a note. She had to talk it out with
him sometime At the door she saw
Luther, coming from Brown Bess STALL
He spoke querulously, his voice dead
tired: For conscience sake, where have
you been? Gone all afternoon and eve
ming, just when needed you most!"
The blood famed in AnabePs face.
Never before had Luther spoken Grossly
to her. She stepped into the barn and
leaned defiantly against the half drawn
door, only to be thrust unceremoniously
to one side.
Have to close that door, to keep the
draft from old Bess. She's having chill
II have to watch a minute or two to
see how that medicine works."
He stepped back into the stall and
Anabel sat down on the overturned
wheelbarrow, very straight and stern in
her out-of-date brown serge. The sight
OF 1t now hardened her heart to say
what she had to say.
Luther backed out Of the stall and
came over to sit beside her on the
wheelbarrow. "Whew, but I've had q
fight" he painted. Heard her moaning
when drove in at 6. Couldn't get the
vet" He stopped, his ears intent
on the uneven rumbling of the breathing
from the stall.
"You don't understand-why wasn't
here?"
How should I?''s Again an edge to
Luther's voice. You left no word or
anything. And-where's the old horse
and wagon, Anabel?" He leaped to his
feet, excitedly. "You haven't been hurt
in an accident? Was 1t you trying to
phone?" r

back of the wagon, hurriedly packed
with all of old Mrs. Lees garments
except the paisley shawl and the furs,
was huge trunk. Cora could do what
she pleased with the shawl and the furs.
Anabel stopped to unload the great trunk
at the North Dorset station, to be Ship
ped to the Home for Old Ladies in Rut-
land, and then set old Dexter's heavy
feet on the road to East Dorset. In
the morning, after Dexter was rested,
she would find a boy to drive him home.
"I'd like him better if he'd been mean
to me-" she explained to Uncle Abner's
house. Hes good to everything; he
wouldn't hurt worm. But I'm through
being his worm!" she suddenly stormed.
At last the time came when she could
no longer put off the trip to the store
where there was telephone booth from
which she could talk to Luther. Phon-
ing wasn't quite as common as leaving
him a note saying she was going.
At the store she was met by locked
door. There was nothing to be done
but walk to the station, half a mile
down the road. There she was con-
fronted with the sign: Lines out of
order this side of North Dorset"
Aghast, Anabel rushed to the ticket
window. It was closed, but late pas
SengerS were accustomed to run up for
themselves the little flag to stop the
evening train. The local was about due.
She would take it, telephone to Luther
from the booth in the North Dorset
station, and get the local back.
1T WAS nearly o'clock when she
aighted from the train and rushed
for the telephone booth. But no one
answered her ring. The connection
must be broken, or Luther wasn't home
yet. Anywhere in the house or the
barn you could hear the signal. An
other frantic ringing, and then over the
party line came the voice of q neighbor,
Mrs. Doane, talking with Annie Gates.
"Yes," it was saying, "old man Brewster
went rather suddenly after all. Cora viii
be well fixed, they say"
Anabel snapped the receiver back on
the hook. That was where Luther was,
condoling with Cora. That was why he
didn't know his own wife was out In the
dark, trying TO let him know she was
setting him free. There was but one
thing to do. She must walk the two
miles out to the farm and leave a note
just like every other runaway wife. If

IT WAS exactly two hours later that
Uncle Abner had another stroke.
Anabel had never been fond of Uncle
Abner. AS a matter of course he had
brought her up after her parents left
her at Is, but she knew she had earned
all he had given her, and more.
After the funeral three days later,
Uncle Abners lawyer asked them to step
across to the bank to hear the will. They
were quite alone, for there was only one
other relative, nephew who lived in
Oregon and who had not come on, for
the funeral. Anabel sat quite unmoved
through the reading of the brief docii-
ment. It was the nephew who had in
herited the $4,000; she had only the
house. Anabel glanced at Luther. His
face was stern, and little red spots
glinted in the brown of his eyes,
He was disappointed!
Anabel felt the blood pounding in her
ears. It was all true, then, what people
had said. Luther was stingy and grasp
ing and loved nothing but money
money to develop his old quarry.
All the way home Luther said nothing.
He drove the old horse, Dexter, with his
usual care, easing the way for the plod-
ding old feet along the rough road,
muddy with Spring thaws. Only once
did Luther speak on the 12-mile drive
down from East Dorset. They passed
Cora Brewster, driving behind her little
dapple gray mare. "Too bad to take
that little creature out on these roads.
Hurt it, maybe. Only truck horse can
get along here"
On the way they came in sight of
the south pasture where the great aban-
doned quarry works loomed grayly
against the sky. If Luther had married
Cora Brewster the quarry would be run
ming now. He had gambled instead ON
Uncle Abner's money, gambled and lost.
All he had was an ordinary little foot
of working and loving capacity. There
was but one thing to do, and already
she was considering the way to make
things right for Luther and his quarry
and her own self-respect.
THE next morning, while Anabel was
in the bed room sorting out the
things she meant to take with her, she
CHANGED to look out the French window.
Something strange about the Princes
Feather plot caught her eye. All brown
1t was, and the brown was that of
freshly turned earth!
Anabel flung wide the doors and STEP
ped out onto the porch. Up the path
from the pasture that dropped steepay
to the river came Luther, spade and hoe
over his shoulder. He turned an apollo
getic face toward her.
"rve been spading up a nice place for
these old Princes Feather plants down
in the pasture by the river" he ex-
planned. "Gave them a load of rich
earth, too, though all they need is SUM-"
why did you dig them up?" Anabeps
voice was edged.
Needed room for more onions" num-
baed Luther not looking at her. BEST
sod On the farm this, for onions, and
these old plants can live anywhere"
Folks can see them real well down
In the PASTURE" commented Anabel.
After dinner Luther drove away with
load Of potatoes, carefully barreled
the Fall before against the early Spring
high prices. BY midafternoon Anabel,
too, was of, driving old Dexter down the
road to the station. Out of sight be-
meath the high cart seat was her own
little leather trunk, and boldly in the
