WAKE|SLAND

Denying that transfer of Wake
Island in the Pacific Ocean from
jurisdiction of the State Depart
ment to the Navy bore any sig
nificance of naval fortification in
western waters, Secretary of the
Navy Swanson declared today the
island is to be developed as "a
strictly commercial air base"
At the same time, Mr.. Swanson
revealed that the Pan-American
Airways Company and several
other aviation firms have applied
to his department for permission
to use the island as a base for
their proposed transpacific air
service. expected to be inaugurated
thsi year.
The Navy is seriously consider.
ing these applications, the Secre-
tary said, adding:
Commercial aviation is
growing rapidly and we see no
reason why the island should
not be used as a commercial
base as long as it does not cost
the Navy anything"
Mr.. Swanson said that the com.
mercial interests would have to
finance all development on the
island, as the Navy Department
intended only to survey the area
for possible future needs.
Wake Island is considered an
important link in the chain of
American-governed islands in the
Pacific. 1t is directly in line with
Midway and Guam Islands, al
ready controlled by the Navy, and
is only about 5000 miles from the
coast of China.
The island could not be devel.
oped into a naval stronghold un-
der existing treaties, Mr.. Swanson
pointed out today, but admitted it
could easily be made an important
air base for naval operations in
the time of an emergency.

CHAPTER III

When Jenny, struggling through the
anodyne of tears, emerged at last into
the open meadow land and saw the
dim bulk of the barn ahead, she ran
stumblingly, In haste to come home to
Marin Pierce and the old wOman's I'M
derstanding arms. She rounded the
barn and saw light in the kitchen !;
but she saw too a team here the
yard, and so was warned that her
grandmother was not alone, and had
time to steady herself before she came
to the kitchen door.
Bart was here He had been in Lib
erty village when Will drove through,
had hailed viii and heard an an
swering call; but Will did not halt, so
Bart had not seen Hubby. Yet he had
seen, dimly, the form of a woman in
the seat beside Will; and before Jenny
arrived now, he had told this much to
old Marin Pierce, sitting by the stove
before the open oven door,
Brought some one to keep house
for him, like as not" was the opinion
he hazarded; but Marin Pierce knew
misgivings, even before Jenny ap-
peared. Jenny came in composedly
enough, but her countenance was a
haggard mask. eloquent of torment and
of pain; and Marin Pierce rose quick
ly and came between the girl and Bart,
to shield Jenny from his eyes.
"He come finally, did he, Jen?" she
asked. "Yo're late enough"
"He only just got there" Jenny ex-
planned. Il stayed to put the supper
on"
Marin Pierce nodded, and she told
Jenny: Bart see viii go through the
village. He says as how there was a
woman with him In the car"
Jenny said in husky tones, Yes
Granny. It's his wife. Willis got mar
ried"
Her voice was terribly steady, as
rigid as steel Marin Pierce was
shocked motionless; and even Bart
could in this moment read Jenny's
secret in her eyes Before the old
woman could move. he stood up and
came toward the girl

duced Diamond Jim Brady, Mike had
very little time to commune with ma
ture. Now he owns vast estate at
Red Bank, NJ. j.
Before the recent fight a party of
sports writers accompanied him to Max
Baer's training camp and it was neces-
sary to have an early morning break
fast at a small railroad restaurant.
The regular tray carriers were not
equal to this sudden increase in busi-
ness. So Mike, who once became pres
ident of a steamboat walters union
because the boys could not settle their
labor troubles otherwise, waited upon
the tables without splitting a drop of
porridge. Mike had lost none of his
art through the years.
At noon there was some complaint
concerning the training camp lunch.
That night 20 reporters Toasted upon
beefsteak, lamb chops and such prov
ender. The meat was broiled over the
Goals, done to turn and served with
a full assortment of accessories. The

II you like to speculate but feel
that the gee-gees are poison to you at
Jamaica, consider the Arabs. They
get a lot of fun out of placing two
scorpions in a saucer and then betting
on the winner of the inevitable fight.
Or, If you like longer run for your
money, you might initiate the folks of
Calcutta. Bookmakers there have given
odds as high as 600 to on the amount
of rain that might fall on any certain
day weeks in advance.
In case you have been wondering
what was the closest championship
fight on record, you might do we'll to
recall the time when Freddie Welsh
and Willie Richie battled for the light
weight crown. Eugene CORR, the ia
nous referee, used mathematical sys-
tenn of scoring points. At the finish
he decided that Welsh had won by half
a point.
1t was lightweights, by the way, who
figured In the only championship bout
that ever ended in a double knockout.
AID Wolgast, the champion, and Joe
Rivers, the Mexican contender, were
both on the canvas at the end of the
thirteenth round. Since Rivers had gone
done first, by scant seconds. the referee
lifted the champion to his feet and
held him there while counting out the
Mexican.
Since mention of golf always brings
up lot of statistics, may as well add
some more. There are more than 250
different kinds of tees and they are

and celluloid.
You can never tell what great things
may happen on the spur of the mo-
ment. After Cornell had won an in
tercolIegiate regatta at Saratoga in
1875, the students had plenty to cheer
about, but it was each man for himself
in the matter of words. They held a
quick conference and since then, "Cor-
nell, yell: yell, Cornell" has been the
official university cheer.

comes apparent that long and init
mate understanding of the vagaries of
human nature has equipped him for his
present heights.
At desks, in the way of visitors and
otherwise accumulated in the rooms of
the organization which conducted the
Louis-Baer contest, there were various
other celebrated citizens. Some of
them had such pretty titles as presi-
dents, directors, matchmakers and
treasurers. No doubt all of them had
talents which make them entirely
worthy of being singled out for such
honors. Yet the earnest and properly
accredited seeker of information or
free tickets never could be too sure
of this. Even as he parted his lips to
inquire concerning the love life of the
contenders or the possibility of get
ting two in the first row he was met
by a chorused refrain. 1t was, "See
Mike"
This advice was not entirely based
upon the fact that it was Mikes bank
roll which made the club and the con-
test possible. Rather, it was due to
the capacity the heavy-set, rather
mountaineering man has for taking
care of details. He has been taking
care of them for years while adding
to that knowledge of human nature
which probably long ago enabled him
to reach the million dollar class.
Years ago he was running excursion
boats on the Hudson and amusement
parks in Connecticut. Since these were
money-making enterprises he might
very well have stayed at home count
ing the dollars if it had not been that
boys who rode on the boats and visit
ed the amusement parks did not be-

the blow that had struck so shrewdly
home. Her world might lie broken at
her feet; but her head still was high.
She went calmly about the common
daily tasks, which can so often by
their familiar monOtony bring comfort
to a distracted mind; and she and
Marin Pierce spoke not at all Of Will
that day or the next. When they did,
at last, it was Marin Pierce who asked
the question, Jenny who answered her

in a tone of finality. That's all there
is to it, or ever can be. / didn't grow

she suggested, amused.
"Well, there'l be Others" the older
woman insisted. swat and see."
SO they spoke no more of Will for
while thereafter; but a week after
Wills homecoming, on a Sunday aft
ernoon, the old car in which he had
returned from Augusta came bouncing
in from the main road and stopped in
the yard by the doorstep; and Hubby
and then Will descended.
Marin Pierce and Jenny were in the
kitchen, and the old woman would
have protected Jenny from this encoun-
ter, but the girl went bravely to the
door and opened it and stepped out
upon the porch to greet them.
"Aft'noon, Mis- Ferrin." she said.
Hello, Will It's neighborly of you
to come over. Granny and me, we'd
have come to see you, before now, but
Granny can't walk so far"
Hubby smiled, slow, deep smile,
with slumber-lidded eyes. Will said !:
"We come to say much obliged to you,
Jenny, for fixing up the house and all"
He touched Huldy's arm, proudly.
'Huldy's housekeeper her own self !;
but she amt found speck of dust
anywhere"
"Come in and set" old Marin Pierce
invited briskly, and they did come in.
Hubby moved Indifferent to her sur
roundings; yet even Jenny was con-
scious that there was a powerful dis
turbance in the very air about this
woman. She had not, the other night.

knowing why, she wished to draw
away from Hubby; and as though In
proof to herself that she had no such
desire, she spoke to the woman.
