ments, and the beautiful tones oo- tained
 The high quality of the enter tainment given this week at the Fes- tival insures the desire of the con- ductors to hold another festival next year, and plans are already under way to carry out the idea. The festival this year is the largest one held to date, Miss Coffin stated. Last year only Juneau and Ket- chikan participated and then only 40 members participated. This year a group of 100 students played or sang in the festival. Last year two supervisors were in charge of the festival at Ketchikan while this year seven members of the musical de- partments from Ketchikan, Wran- gell, Petersburg, Douglas and Juneau helped to make the music festival the success that it was
 Future Plans
 It was announced by Miss Ruth Coffin who had charge of arrange ments for the festival that the su- pervisors from the various schools had banded together and adopted regular resolutions for the practical carrying out of a musical festival annually. The supervisors plan to affiliate with the National Musical Conference, Miss Coffin stated. Miss Marjory Miller was elected chair man of the organization.
 Each conductor was enthusiastic concerning the success of this years festival and expressed the hope of making it permanent affair.

though. Greg didn't take his own
life. He sat for a minute, resting
and fell asleep"
You admit your business is in
tough shape"
Its been so plenty of times be-
fore. Greg wouldn't jump into eter-
nifty just to dodge a few worries.
He'd take it on the chin"
John Elton looked down at the
white carnation in. his buttonhole.
He had worn a fresh one every day
since his wife died, 10 years before.
He had a trick of glancing down at it
when he needed comfort or spiritual
guidance.
Your firm has been paying pre-
miums for nearly year on
$4,000 insurance policy on Greg's
life" he said-putting the situation
at last into words. That's lot of
money, my boy. 1t could pull a busi-
ness concern out of pretty deep
hole"
RARRY'S mouth twitched sardon-
ically. And you infer Greg
made a martyr of himself to save
the business? You know him bet
ter than that, John-you've known
him too long. He was sane and
healthy. He didn't drink to excess.
He never had any rowdy love af-
fairs. He met life fairly and gave it
all he had"
John Elton sighed and rose. 81
hope you're right. Barry. but you'll
have to prove it. If the medical ex-
aminer writes suicide into the death
certificate the insurance company will
never pay a cent. You'd better go
through Gregory's papers at once.
I'll be back again this afternoon"
Barry climbed the stairs. entered
his own room and closed the door.
Like the old lawyer, he. too had his
fountain of strength renewed. From
secret drawer he took out the photo
graph of a girl He had loved Helen
when she was a tow-headed young
ster next door. He had loved her
when she married Joe Bradford. He
would love her until he died.
Joe had turned out to be a drunk
ard and loafer and made her mis-
erable. But there was nothing Barry
could do but keep on worshiping her
in silence.
A FTER while he crossed the hall
= to Gregory's room, sat down at
the Gov. Winthrop desk and dropped
the lid. A sheet of paper lay face
down on the blotter. He picked it
up. 1t was a letter unaddressed. in
Gregory's writing. bearing the date
of the previous day. My dearest
girl" it began.
Barry read it through. You say

woman. III pick you up at Lynn

Gregary had not committed suicide.
This proved it. No man would have
taken his own life with what was evi-
IDENTIFY the elimination of his hearts
desire within reach of his hand. Barry
steeled himself to the inevitable;
folded the letter and put it away in
his pocket. This evidence would save
the firm from bankruptcy.
There was stir in the quiet house
now. Emma, the maid, raped at
Barry's door. "1've fixed you up a bite
of lunch, sir" she said and he follow
ed her down to the dining room
He tasted the food she set before
him, drank scalding cup of coffee.
Then he went back to the parlor and
sat before the fire till Elton re-
turned.
THE lawyer had just entered the
room when the telephone rang.
Barry answered it and his heart leap
ed as it always had done to Helen's
faintest tones. He had never heard
her speak like this, though hoarse-
ly. stumblingly, her words falling over
each other like scurrying mice.
"Oh, Barry, I've only just heard
about Greg. It's terriblel I can't be-
lieve it. He didn't kill himself know
he didn't! I was talking with him just
last night he was very
happy"
In the moment of silence Barry
thought he could hear her hurrying
breath. Barry. you've got to do some
thing for me. On Greg's desk there's a
letter he had written-to me. He
never mailed it-he called me up in
stead. Get it, please. Barry-and de-
stroy it. Promise me, Barry! If you
ever loved me. do this for me now"
He replaced the instrument ST.
lently in its cradle He seemed to
feel nothing-only a sort of blank
emptiness, as though a treasure he
had possessed for a long time we're
suddenly gone.
Elton spoke quietly. What is it,
Barry? Anything ! can do?"
PARRY rose and stood by the fire,
- staring stupidity down at the
flames. NO." he said, slowly. No
thanks. There's nothing-to be done" "
He took folded paper from his pock-
ct. dropepd it in the fire, watched it
burn. Il didn't have any evidence,
John. Well have to let them call it
suicide and forfeit the insurance"
He looked up. His frowning gaze
focused upon Elton's coat lapel. For
the first time in years he saw It bare.
where's your carnation, John?"
he asked as though somehow or other
that mattered
1T fell in the mud and I didn't
pick it up" John Elton replied. III

Barry Mead continued to stare at
the place where the pale carnation
had BEEN

a moment. you're lucky You-can."

Bedtime Stories
A First Run for Life.

Then early one morning, as they
were returning home from an all
night hunt, they heard a strange
voice behind them. 1t was so far be-
hind them that at first they paid no
attention to it. 1t wasn't until it
sounded very much louder, which
meant that it was very much nearer,
that they understood that the owner
of that voice was following them.
There was excitement and eagerness
and something threatening in that
voice, which was the voice of Hound
who had picked up their trail. They
knew nothing whatever Of Dogs, but
they didn't wait to make closer ac-
quaintance with this one. They started
off, heading straight for home, and
you may be quite sure that the TIm!d
One was in the lead.
How the Timid One did run! Never
had she been so frightened as she
was now, and her one thought was to
reach the safety of home as soon as
possible. You see, she was too fright
ened really to think. 1t was her sister
who did the real thinking. II suddenly
came into her head that if this was
an enemy following them, and she was
sure that it was, it would be most
foolish thing to lead that enemy
straight to their home. Yes, sir, that
would be the most foolish thing they
could do. So this young Fox began
TO lag behind her sister. Perhaps this
enemy who was following and making
such a noise about it could be led off
and tired out in the long run. Perhaps
he wasn't so dangerous as he sounded.
Anyway. she wanted TO see what he
looked like.
So she stopped at a point where
there was fork in the little path they
had been running in. The Timid One
kept on straight for home. but the
other stopped. 1t took lot Of courage
to wait, because the sound of that
approaching voice was decidedly
frightening. But she did wait until
she saw some into sight the Hound
with his nose to the ground. It was
her first glimpse of Dog and now she
knew that Dogs were the enemies Of
Foxes She glanced up the path her
sister had taken. Then she deliber-
ately took the other path. The Dog,
when he reached the fork. turned
down the path after her. You see, her
scent was the freshest and naturally
his nose picked up the freshest scent.
How glad that young Fox was then
that she had learned to know every
path and every turn in every path, and
every tree and rock and bush in all
that section. She was starting on her
first run for life, and she didn't intend
to lead that Dog to their home unless
she absolutely had to.
