I'm not SO sure about that, Ned
Gleasoni And I'm not SO sure that
you're not playing me for q fool!
And the day find 1t out, I'm leav-

and left the room.
1t was hours before the gloom OF
her suspicious concerning her hus-
bands nocturnal labors cleared
from Sibyl Gleason's Jealous mind.
To the best of her imagination she
had been picturing him in such
post activities as might In
volve the pieces of evidence she
had found - activities in which
philandering women picked up at
dances and parties were making Q
fool of her husband.
To begin with, the band was
popular and got around quite q bit.
Then, too, Ned was handsome.
Which combination, to her mind
was grounds enough for doubling
any man. And her Ned was no dif-
ferent.
She was racking her brain for
means to an end when her eyes
CHANGED on a piece Of news In the
paper before her. At first she
merely glanced over it aimlessly.
Then the novelty of the idea
caught her fancy; it concerned
the masquerade to be held that
night at the country club, at wnicn
Ned was going to play.
The lines read: among
other novelties and unique features
of the party will be the require

The band IL masked, too,n she
observed as she neared the music.
However, she had little difficulty In
singing out her husbands familiar
array Of gold-plated instruments.
And prompted by desire to waste
no time, she tilted her head invit-
ingly to one side and smiled up It
the unsuspecting musician playing
over them.
The effect was electric. He actu-
ally stopped playing that he might
devour her beauty through the
eyes Of his mask. And as she was
whirled away from him into the
colors and convolutions of the
crowds, his enraptured gaze fol-
lowed her intently.
When she glided by him again
she was closer and her artfully
rouged lips were parted in the most
promising gesture that her de-
signing feminity could simulate.
It proved devastating. In his ina
petuous striving to reciprocate her
advances he seemed to be losing
control of his instrument; he was
garbling his music.
The number ended; the next be-
gan. And more followed which
gave Sibyl Gleason the opportuni-
ties she needed to build up her
campaign. Before intermissicn was
called she had achieved her end:

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, September
13.-Alaskan airmen were concerned
today over the absence of Pilot Her
man Lehrdahl as they raced ap-
preaching Winter in their search for
q missing ship and its four occupants.
Colleagues hoped Lehrdahl had
landed at Circle Hot Springs to
await better flying conditions.
They had not been able to COM
municate with him during his flight
yesterday, due to poor radio recep-
tion.
Other Pilots Return.
Four other pilots returned safely
from another of the persistent flights
in search of Pilot Arthur Hines and
his three passengers in a ship that
disappeared August 10.
The intensive hunt for the lost
ship already has resulted in injury
of three searchers and the wrecking
Of their plane.
From 4 to 13 planes have gone out
almost daily as the pilots ignored
their own business to look for Hines
and his companions. They have spent
thousands of dollars, part of it their
own money, part raised through pop
ular subscription, in the search.
No Sign Of Four.
But Winter is near and still no
sign of Hines and of Mr. and Mrs.
John F. Lonz and Alton Nordale has
been found. They dropped from sight
while flying home here from a cele-
bration at Dawson and were last seen
in the Chicken, Alaska, section.

crashed and burned last week while

A Day of Great Fear.

Lightfoot nodded. Wen start at
once" said he.
But it was one thing to start and
quite another thing to keep going In
the right direction. 1t seemed as II
the woods were filled with hunters.
Time after time they smelled or heard
or saw that which made them sus-
picious and turned them aside. Three
times they saw hunters. So Slimlegs
had a chance to learn what this new
enemy looked like.
AS a matter of fact, they were
turned back toward the Great Noun
tain, so that they were even farther
from home at the days end than when
they had started in the early morning,
and all the time there was that dread
full fear. 1t was a new experience for
Slimlegs. He had had frights that
had lasted for a short time. Way
back, when he was little, he had had
one terrible fright when his sister
was killed by Dogs, but never had he
known a fear that lasted all day as
had this fear of the hunters. Only
when the Black Shadows came creep
ing through the trees did the fear end
and somehow even then he knew that
1t would begin again with the break
ing of the next day.
