 But you didn't say anything about Indigo" interrupted Peter. Do you mean to say that he be- longs to the same family"
 T surely do," replied Indigo. "I'm rather closely related to the Spar row branch. Don't I look like a Sparrow?"
 Peter looked at Indigo closely. "In size and shape you do," he con fessed, but just the same I should never in the world have thought of connecting you with the Sparrows."
 "How about me?' asked another voice, and a little brown bird flew up beside Indigo, twitching her tail nervously. She looked very Spar. row-like, indeed. so much so that had not Peter seen her with her handsome mate, for she was Mrs. Indigo, he certainly would have taken her for sparrow. Only on . her wings and tail was there any of the blue which made Indigo's coat so beautiful. and this was only 8 faint tinge.

 "Pardon me-" she said, did you happen to see young man with au- burn hair and a mustache come in recently"
 "No," the woman answered, q haven't noticed anyone of that de- scriptlon during the hour I've been here"
 Anita thanked her. and crossed slowly to a chair on the opposite side.
 Slight misgivings arose, but she told herself there must be some per fectly simple explanation.
 She had posted that note to him Sunday evening. It would just be matter of minutes.
 An early edition of the morning paper lay with magazines on the table beside her.
 Idly she glanced at its headlines -and something weighty seemed suddenly to bear down on her.
 There acress the papers top huge black type screamed: MARK MANSFIELD IN SECRET DASH TO MARRIAGE"
 With fingers that trembled uncon- trollably, Anita picked 1t up and read into the story:
 Boarding a Pacific Airways plane at seven-fifteen last night, Mark Mansfield, noted screen star, took off for San Francisco with the words, I'm going north to get mar ,ried.'
 "The move was complete sur prise, as Mansfield had lately been seen much in the company of Miss Anita French, daughter of proml- nent local family. Although Miss French could not be located for a statement, she was known to be in the city.
 Very carefully Anita laid down the sheet.
 She couldn't read any further, for It had all grown quite blurred.
 Somehow, though, dazed numb ness kept her from feeling anything like pain.
 She stood up and started with un- hasty steps toward the street door. =.

 Mark Mansfield gave his watch another scrutiny.
 The hands showed twenty past eleven.
 His eyes raised again for reas- surance to the sign across the lounge room which read:
 HOTEL ADMIRAL
 SAN FRANCISCO
 One of the Admiral Chain
 Certainly queer, he thought, that there should be this long a delay.
 Perhaps-the idea made him dis tinctly uneasy-perhaps that mar tinet of a father had trailed her here. .-
 Impatlently Mark shifted in his chair; entertaining that sort of no- ton was sheer morbidIty.
 No matter how long 1t took, he'd wait right here till she came or sent word to him.
 One or the other was bound to happen soon.
 He picked up from his lap once more a copy of one of the San Fran cisco papers. For nearly an hour he'd been reading it; yet possibly some unnoticed items remained. Anything for little diversion, and no other source seemed at hand.
 Four pages he turned fruitlessly; then a heading mildly attracted his curiosity. It read: Unusual Error Re-Routes Mall"
 His eye travelled on: ''In one of ffhe few recorded occurrences of It's kind, according to postal authort- ties, a sack of flrst-class mail was accidentally brought here yester- day direct from collection boxes in Los Angeles. On discovering the mishap, local officials ordered the letters sent out from San Francisco post office. It was said. ."
 Alphabetically Mark Mansfield dipped over the page. Such incon- sequential ctuff to fill newspapers columns with. Where, oh where, his brain doggedly demanded, was Anita7

PROSPECTORS ARE REQUIRED
 IN TERRITORY
Duncan Smith Declares Vast Tracts of Virgin
 GroundNot Touched

Duncan Smith, mining engineer of the partnership of Baueris and Smith, with offices in Seattle, Van couver and New York City, returned Sunday on the Electra from a four months inspection trip on the Seward Peninsula. He went south on the North Sea today.
 Smith, who arrived in Nome last June, on an inspection trip in the interests of New York clients, spent the summer examining claims on the Seward peninsula, and expressed the opinion that Alaska had much to offer the prospector.
 There are vast tracts of virgin ground that have never been pros pected.n he said. Tt would be a wonderful thing for the Territory If a way could be found to make prospecting of these tracts possible in the near future" Smith, who spent Is years in Af- rica as mining engineer for a Belgian-American exploration con- pany, was enthusiastic over aerial reconnaissance as a method of dis covering feasible lands, but warned that such a survey was at most but an introductory step.
 Actual prospecting must be done on the ground and usually on foot. 7 he said. Success in prospecting would seem, to depend largely upon the capacity to wear out shoe leather
 The company for which Mir. Smith conducted mining examina- tions in Africa was the Foreniemiere Societe Forestire etc Minire der Congo, pioneer company founded by Leopold II of Belgium and Wal ter Page of New York City. After leaving Africa, MT. Smith practiced his profession in Brussels.
 He went to Vancouver a year and a half ago, and there, with his partner, opened the firm in whose interests he is now in the Terri tory.
 Expressing the desire to know more about Alaska. MT. Smith re- marked that visit to the Territory should be preceded by thorough reading of Robert Services poetry
 It is possible, he said, that either he or his partner will revisit Alaska next summer.

 The boat trains, operated during the dry season from October to May when the roadbed is more secure, creep along in the night, their na- tive engineers and firemen peering to make certain with the aid of a powerful headlight that the tracks are clear.
 Freight Just Now and Then
 Thus travelled 115,000 passengers last year, of whom 108,000 were white swathed natives in third class passage. For them the fare between Djibouti and Addis Ababa is $5.57, but for the European in second class it is $1898 and the de luxe traveller in first class plays $39l0.
 Freight trains. which take five days for the one-way trip, are made up only when enough goods accu- mulate to warrant the trip. There has been slight increase in freight traffic this year, officials say, and perhaps this indicates the move ment of war materials. But the freight embargos against Ethiopia have, the officials assert, deprived the railroad of any heavy munitions traffic it might have ex- pected.

 PARIS, Oct. 8.-War or no war Ethiopias cnly railroad plans 10 operate it's two regular passenger trans a week, witf stops overnight, it's through boat trains whenever there is boat at Djibouti, and freight trains as the traffic justi- fies.
 q Italy's dispute with Ethiopia up to new has made little difference to the French-owned line, which has not even had it's carloadings Increased by munitions shipments, officials say.
 They hope hostilities will not dis rupt traffic which had suffered already from the depression.
 The dinky little trains of the narrow-gauge line between Djbouti . end Addis Ababa might rival Eu- ropes famous Orient Express, or an American transcontinental limited. for adventure, picturesqueness and ,AElamor were it along the hard 
 worn routes of tourist travel , Daylight Safety Factor
 Except for the through boat trains which cover the 486 miles of the lines entire length in 27 to B hours during the dry season, it takes three days to make the journey, for daylight is an important safety factor on the Ethiopian line.
 Wild tribes have been known to a,steal the ties from under the rails and the tropical torrents sometimes wash out track or dump boulders on it. Hence the regular passenger trains stop before sundown.
 Some indication of the adventure of railroad travel in Ethiopia as the trains crawl through desert and ' mountains. climbing 1900 feet to Addis Ababa. is afforded by the , time tables, available in Paris head quarters.
 Guns stop at Frontier
 Travellers are warned by the time tables that guns are likely to be seized by the Ethiopian customs agents at Dire Dawa, the first over- night stop, for the importation of arms and ammunition is strictly for 1 bidden without written permission of the government This is more important than it seems, since big game hunting is the principal at .traction the railroad had to offer tourists.
 Upon arriving at Djibouti, the passengers for Addis Ababa finds a train awaiting him-there is boat about once week-or he may wait for one Of the regular trains leaving Tuesdays and Sat ' prdays. These are made up of one rar divided into first and second class compartments and three or four third-class cars, with wooden aeats, in which travel the nosy natives.
 Black porters put the passengers baggage aboard the train at Dji- bouti at 6:58 a. m. and the train starts clattering. roaning and swaying from the Red Sea coast |, .across the scorching desert to Dire Dawa, where it arrives at 6:10 p < m. to put up for the night.
