sengers, he felt great relief. Al
ready he had begun to realize. rs
he had not realized i'll Dawson, that
whatever The Michigan Kid may
have stood for on the upper river,
back home that name would sta~]
for something altogether different.
Back home! The words possess a
peculiar significance for men who
have not been Outside" in more
than five years. Nobody but the
homeward- bound Alaskan could III
the least appreciate them.
At Nome the ship hove to for
twenty-four hours, and Rowan went
ashore to see what the place looked
like. Here again he passed unnot1c-
ed, and he was greatly cheered by
that fact. If he could walk the
streets of an Alaskan gold camp
without being recognized, it argued
that he would have no difficulty
whatever in the big world outside.
His attention was attracted by a
poster which advertised an informal
rally of all the citizens of Nome
who hailed from Michigan. The
meeting was to be held that night
for the purpose of general good
fellowship and acquaintanceship and
with the ultimate view of organ!z-
ing a Wolverine Society. Jim de-
cided to go.
1t turned out to be a pleasant
gathering. A glad-hand committee
was at the door to introduce strang-
ers around; there was a program OF
entertainment, with refreshments
promised afterward.
Jim Rowan grinned. Here was
old home stuff He wondered what
these pleasant-faced men and Wo-
men would think if they knew that
he, the unobtrusive visitor, was The
Michigan Kid, the most notorious
sporting man" in all the north.
He heard his name mentioned
during the evening-when a judge
from Lansing delivered a speech
eulogizing the home state and re-
ferred to the Kid as "that unsavory
character of the upper Yukon who
has brought odium upon the fair
name OF our birthplace. Again Jim
grinned. Well, he had the money
anyhow. One has to pay something
for success.
Nowhere did he hear name or
see a face that he knew, with per-
haps one exception-the face of an
old man who sat in a quiet corner.
1t was a bearded face and the man
was poorly dressed. He wore rub
Der boots and overalls and a faded
threadbare mackinaw that hung
loosely from his STOPPING shoulders.
His hair was thin and gray and he
coughed a good deal
Jim studied the old fellows pro-
file and decided that he had prob
ably seen the man across the gamb-
ling table or the bar-a river of
derelicts like this one had flowed in
and out of his place during these
recent years. He had about put
him out of his mind when the man
rose to leave. Then Rowan started.

deliberately and it awakened feel

called a pang, for long ago he had
realized that it was not the flesh

Red Gross Nurses Combat
Disease on Wide Front

At the close of the fiscal year
ended June 80, there were 673 Red
Cross nurses bettering health con.
ditions and caring for the sick in
GOA communities. These Red Cross
public health nurses cared for a
total of 233,616 persons during the
year and made more than million
visits on their behalf.
The annual report of the Ameri-
can Red Cross states further that
these nurses cooperated with doc
tors in examining 671,057 school
and pre-school children, with 342,-
SCI physical defects found and cura-
tive treatment arranged in 209,0SO
cases.
In 979 Red Cross chapters 1873
graduate nurses taught Red Cross
home hygiene and care of the sick,
issuing certificates to 53,126 per-
sons completing the courses. In
addition, 1,777 Red Cross reserve
nurses were called upon during the
year for disaster and epidemic con-
troll work.

those early days. Regulations were
made in night; in six months they
were hallowed; in year they had
become legendary. There were
many celebrities in the Yukon coun-
try the mere mention of whom
evoked tales of sensational exploits
on the trail, at the mines, or at the
gambling tables; the one perhaps
best known of all was THE Michi-
gan Kid" He it was who best
typi6ed the composure, the steady
nerve, the recklessness of his pro-
fession.
A hundred stories were told about
the Michigan Kid and some were
not pleasant, for it required a ruth
less man to hold down the job that
Jim had taken, but most of them
had to do with his luck. That luck
became a byword, finally: men bles-

sed with some extraordinary and
unexpected good fortune were apt
to boast that they had "'Michigan's
lucl- " " 'Michigan's luck" became an
Alaskan phrase.
More than once Rowan took stock
I of his winnings and realized that he
had nearly attained the goal he had
set for himself, but invariably Fate
intervened to prevent him from
quite reaching the quitting point:
lime crept along. The cycle of
life for placer camps is brief.
Dawson grew, hourished, began
to die; representative of big COM
panies appeared and bought up
tracts of property; they talked of
huge dredging and hydraulic pro-
jects.
Some of these newcomers were
possessed of the gambling fever and
they tried their luck against The
Michigan Kids. Rumors spread of
big games in the back rooms of the
Kids place, games where the sky
was the limit One man in particu-
lar scoffed at 'Michigan's luck
and prophesied that he would "get"
the Kid-send him out of the coun-
try broke. This was Colonel John
son, great engineer and mining
promoter who represented a Lon
don syndicate. He and Rowan met,
finally, much as famous duellists
meet, and behind locked doors they
played for twenty hours.
What the stakes were nobody
knew, but they must have been
enormous, and luck must have run
the Kids way, as usual, for Colonel
Johnson rose finally, stepped out in
to the hall, and killed himself.
That at least was the story which
was made public and which the au-
thorities accepted. Certain spiteful-
minded persons whispered know
ingly that this story was all fab
rication: that 'Michigan's' luck had
finally deserted him and that the
shot had been fired inside, not out
side, the room.
Ugly rumors such as these flew
through the streets, but whether
they reached the ears of the Kid
nobody ever knew. Perhaps they
did. Perhaps that was why he sold
his place two weeks later and with
out SO much as saying good by to
anybody he caught the next down

OF his steamer Stateroom behind
him, he closed it, as he thought.
upon The Michigan Kid and every-
thing that had to do with that no.
torious character.
When the first bend of the river
had hidden Dawson City from view
he drew from his pocket a wallet
and from this he carefully extracted
blurry, time-yellowed picture of
Rose Morris. 1t was a picture he
had clipped from a Dover news
paper on the day Rose graduated
from the local high school and it
showed her as a girl in white with
floppy hat and a sash of ribbon
about her waist. 1t was perhaps
the one and only personal posses
sion that he had never risked los
ing at some time or other. He
gazed at it now for quite a while,

State Without a Senator

The death of U. S. Senator Duncan Q. Fletcher Wednesday at Washington must have been a sad blow to his native state of Florida. Not only was Senator Fletcher an old and favorite legislator from this southern state, but he was also it's second U. s. Senator to die within the very short period of one month, Park Trammell suc- cumbing at that time. If that is not sorrow in high places and in big doses what is? The state may well declare period of public mourning for it's public officials called to their Maker.
 It would be interesting to check up legislative annals to find if such a situ- ation has ever occurred before. We don't recall in recent years any state being deprived of the services of both it's U. S. Senators at practically the same time. We would hesitate to call it first such occurrence, as it might easily have oc- cured previously but it is unusual and at the same time bit perplexing. It cer- tainly demands some action on the part of the political leaders of the state.
 The position of former Senator Tram mell is now filled by Scott M. Loftin of Jacksonville, who was named to fill out the unexpired term by Governor Dave Sholtz. A successor will be elected in the coming November elections It is prob able that Governor Sholtz will also act in similar capacity to fill Senator Fletcher's place until next November Neither of the two dead senators would have come up for renomination this year. The Trammell term expired in 1941; Fletcher'S in 1889. The state and national contests this fall thus take on an added luStre

What Is Low Cost Housing?

Much faith is put by national legisla- tors in the Wagner housing measure which has just passed the Senate. It pro- vides for immediate slum clearance and low cost housing campaign to be spread over period of three years. There might have been some merit to the suggestion that the length of time allotted to this drive be decreased, but the Senate failed to see it this way and defeated the plan to carry on the campaign for simply one year. Of course in a year only the roots could be tapped.
 If the federal government is going to encourage home building it will have to go about it in such way that those who are urged to own their own homes are so buoyed up with enthusiasm about their future existence that they will enter upon the plan with courage. And some effort should also be made to prevent the rather disheartening effects of the HOLC'S efforts. They were, of course, fine and in the right direction, but what is the result now? Uncle Sam is one of our heaviest property owners, because people preferred to let him take over their property rather than try to carry it themselves.
 The same situation might well result from any widespread housing campaign. There will have to be some guarantee of permanency about it, if it is going to prove of real advantage to the nation. Of course we can see many accompany ing good effects, such as booms in the building trades. Naturally we want to see this happen, because any study of unefn- plcyment figures and statistics shows that ln these and allied trades employment still shows a distinct faliing-off. We're keen for rehabilitation, but we want it to succeed, not falter by the wayside.
