Judith, I'm coming over. I'm go- ing to have this out with you if | takes all night.",
 "But, Steve, I've told you how I feel. There's simply no use"
 With the realizatoin that he was no longer on the wire, Judith's voice trailed into silence. Slowly she replaced the instrument in iti cradle.
 Steve Fowler was coming to convince her again, as he had so often convinced her in the past And she mustn't let him. She mustn't
 quickly she got up from the telephone chair, snatched her hat and coat. Tn another moment she was racing hurriedly along the sidewalk. She wished now that she'd accept the Bents' invitation to the movie. But she could go alone to the little neighhorhood the- ater near the apartment. That would be her haven of refuge. Per- haps when Steve found no an- swer to his ring he would under- stand, at last, that she had made her decision for the lasttiYne.
 Tn the pleasant half-light of the neighborhood movie house she found herself confronting the ex- citement of on African hunting trip - feature devoted to the ex- ploitS of an adventurer who trapped wild animals for zoos. She was relieved that the plotless reels were unconcerned with the problems of men and women in e realistic world. But this feature Of the program was too soon finished, and she did not fare so well with the next picture on the double bill. It had to do with young love, with Q boy who looked oddly like Steve and with Q girl who might have been Judith How ard. Before 1t had been 10 min- uteS on the screen, Judith fled.
 She felt sure that by now Steve would have tried the apartment and taken his leave. Tired now, both with natural fatigue and the strain of nervousness, she hurried on in the darkness. But half 0 block from the apartment building she stopped suddenly. Steve stood in the entrance way, impatiently smoking Q cigaretl Obviously f1e had been waiting there for some time; and just aS obviously he in- tended to wait longer.
 fingered, Judith turned and re- traced her steps, keeping to the outside of the walk 50 that Steve might not glimpse her. Her mind, too filled for warineSs, lot her step down needless from the curb. She heard the. scream of brakes, the sound of tires clutching crazily. Twin rays from headlights blind- ed her inomentarily and then she saw c huge black roadster smash headlong Into Q fire hydrant not 20 feet from where she stood.

gested that they telephone Bob and plan to stay downtown for dinner. It would help her to forget Steve.
 Bob might like to bring along Jerry Macklin. He's in Bob's of- flee and you'd like him, Judith"
 Judith shook her head. I'd rather he wouldn't, Virginia. l don't quite feel up to meeting any, one new"
 Just as you say, darling. But I want you to know I'm not going to let you stay in mourning in- definitely"
 The trio met in e little Italian restaurant which was Q favorite of Bob's. There they struggled with spaghetti in fascinating and unbrok- on strands, while the Bents did their best to keep Judith's spirits high. Aided by the delicious food and the carefree atmosphere of the place, they succeeded fairly well.
 "How about a inovie9" Bob Sug. gested.
 You and Virginia so," Judith said. I'm 6 little tired. And af- ter all this food I'm afraid I'd 60 to sleep In the theater."
 Sure you'll be all right7" vir- ginia wanted to know when Bob left the booth to pay the check.
 Judith smiled. "Of courSe!"
 But although the street car was filled. Judith felt somehow lonely without Bob and Virginia. Or was 1t the Bents she missed |? Wasn't 1t Steve Fowler for whom she was lonely? Steve who had somehow been with her always, and now had been sent away2 Judith wondered, tried to analyze her own strange feelings. He had said he would telephone tonight; and as Judith remembered this she realized that If Steve failed to keep his promise she would be disappointed. She would wonder why he hadn't kept 1t. "Wornen are such ,fools," she thought bit- terly, and tried to divert her mind by watching the people In the car. But down at the far end her eyes encountered c young couple obliv- ious to the world - Q young cou. pie so patently in love that for each of them nothing, no one, ex- isted except the other. T sup. pose Steve and I must have looked like that" she thought. T sup- pose that some time or other some diSillusioned girl must have watched us just as I am watching these two now"
 She was glad when the car reached her street, glad when she could flee to tho privacy of her own room. Once there she bathed her face and hands. then tried to read. But although she followed the words, they meant nothing, meant no more than if the pages had been blank.
 Suddenly the telephone rang, sending Judith's heart into her throat. Without thinking, with. out self-debate. she took up the instrument and answered. It was Steve.
 i've been trying to reach you for the last hour" he snid.
 "I had dinner downtown with Bob and Virginia"
 "Still writing your rules of con. duct, are they2" asked Steve bite terly.
 Judith caught her breath. "It won't do any good to be angry, Steve. Why can't you make 1t easy for me2 I@"

CHAPTER V

It was the Bents' habit to dror by for Judith on their way to work But next morning Virginia stopped at Judiths apartment without her husband.
 Bob left carly" Virginia ex. plained. "He had some work he wanted to finish before the days rush."
 Judith knew better, but she said nothing. Virginia wanted tc know the outcome of last nights encounter with Steve -- and she didn't care to be hampered by Bob in her questioning.
 "Sit down." Judith invited You've time to have a cup oi coffee with me-"
 "'Thanks, darling. And I'll take on piece of toast, too. rushed 50 to get Bob away that I'm afraid I neglected my own calories." ShG took the proffered sup, searching Judith's eyes. Well, what hap pened2"
 The other smiled. "Nothing at all, Virginia. He left right after you did-and I didn't change my mind"
 "0oodl" exclaimed Virginia. She loosed Q mock sigh. T was scared to death you'd give him another chance. was trying to stay here longer than he did, but finally saw that he'd caught on to my scheme" Young Mrs. Bent stirred her coffee in silence for c moment Then, looking Up at Judith, she said, Did Steve tell you what he dic to Toby Lynch last niRht7"
 Judith nodded, Terrible, wasn't itP"
 well .. Bob seemed to think that Toby had 1t coming. But you know how Toby Is always opening his mouth before he thinks. If you ask me, I think 1t was stupid of Steve"
 Judith Towards gaze met her friends quizzically. Stupid Per- haps you're right, Virginia. But when c gal has had her good name defended It's hard for her to think of 1t As stupid"
 That" said Virginia in her most cynical fashion, "is Q lot oi banana oil and you know 1t. No girl nowadays gets oil excited about 6 man because he lets his arms fly around"
 Don't Do SO sure" Judith laughed. "Come on, we'll have to ruch now to make the office on timel"
 Virginia was well pleased with tho way Judith was taking the finish of her affair with Steve Fowler. "Tho patients condition is good" Virginia told herself. "In q month or SO she'll be as fit aS a fiddle and ready for lovG-a new one"
 But ct the office Virginia'S desk wasn't near Judiths. Busy with her own work. she didn't sec how many times Judith Howard stopped typing and stared into space. She didn't notice how many times Judith stopped her busy fingers to make erasures, or to snatch out the sheets and car- bon and begin anew.
 Steve telephoned just before noon and asked her to lunch. T - can't do it." Judith faltered. i've some extra work to do."
 Then I'll call you tonight" Steve told her.
 "ft won't do any good, Steve"
 I'm willing to take the chance"
 
 She was glad when Virginia sug-

JUST 100 years ago the Rev. y Henry Spalding and his wife, Eliza, and Dr. Marcus Whitman with his wife, Narcissa, left their New York homes and journeyed nearly 5000 miles across hostile Indian territory into the north- west. The women were the first of American birth to cyoss the Rock ies, and Mrs. Spalding was moth- CT of the first white child born in Idaho. The four preceded an army of pioneers who opened the old Oregon territory covering what are now the states of Washington, Oregon. Idaho. and parts of Mon- tana and Wyoming.
 The Whitmans set up a mission near what is now Walla Walla, Wash, and lived among the In- dians ii years, until one day the Cayuse tribe went on the warpath and mAssacred the white settlers. In the meantime, the Spaldings had founded mission near what became Lewiston, Idaho, and when they heard of the massacre. they fled in fear of their lives. Mrs. Spalding died soon afterward from exposure.
 The new U. S. stamp which eommemorates this tragic venture also marks historic points where. other pioneers established first white settlements in the north- west.

THREE NEW DREDGES
FOR ALASKA NEXT

ton of dredges on Cold Creek and
at Circle City during the past sea-
son, Sam Palmer of the Walter w.

rived in Juneau yesterday on the

The gold dredge constructed un-

more of his company's dredges are
IN operation in Alaska, and Mr..
Palmer has also visited places
where they are working in order to
look them over, since finishing Che
two installations, he reported.
He is now returning from the
Seward Peninsula, where he visited
Nome, Candle and Deering. Mr..

and probably three new dredges
will be constructed by his firm in
Alaska next summer. Another
dredge will be constructed for Nc

A FINE GESTURE TOWARD ALASKA

One of the finest gestures toward Alaska that
has come to attention in the present strike sua-
ton made yesterday by the Masters Mates and
Pilots in Seattle when they volunteered to bring ships
to Alaska without pay if AIaskans really starv-
ing" 1t is probably more than mere gesture There
is doubt in mind that the seafaring officers
meant Just exactly what they said. There is no
question believe, that those veterans who have
been plying the waters OF Alaska for a quarter of
century, and many of them much longer, would step
back into their commands at moments notice to
come to the service Of Alaskaps if the opportunity
afforded itself And if the shoe pnched tight enough
they probably would make the opportunity.
These men have Hello Jack Hi Bill acquain-
lance in every port the north They know their
Aaskans from Barrow to Dixon Entrance. They have
carried out with full pokes and back the cuff
too many times not to problems and our
isolation. Most of them at heart true Alaskans
Who doesn't know Captains Glasscock Westerland
and Anderson OF Alaska Steam Nord, now a pilot
Nckerson, Joyce and Williams of the Northland and
host of others? Ciilt-edee two-fisted -faring
men. They the men who with their mates carry
the good will of their companies into the north and
form that all-important connecting link between
water transportation management and the people
of Alaska
Surely their voices raised in generous offer
from the midst Of the irksome situation in Seattle
is the finest thing that Alsskans have heard from
that gateway to Alaska" since the Strike was called
at the end OF October We refrain from commenting
:on some of the other voices which have beeen sig
nificantly silent around Seattle recently.
