"Isn't that rather silly?"
Hammond shrugged his shoulders.
GAIL we can do is follow Joe's bunch
es-as to where he thinks that river
should have run. Of course, other
persons might go at it scientifically"
"And find what they were looking
for"
Perhaps"
"Then why don't you?"
"You don't know Joe's breed. They
distrust scientists.Any old prospector
will tell you that an engineer or geo.
logist can ruin the finest mine ever
discovered. Oh, they're funny!"
Kay tossed her head.
II can't see anything funny about
it. Why should you give up every
thing in life just because your partner
is-what do you call it-bushed?"
"But he's my partner, Kay! We've
fought the North together"
"That's carrying chivalry too far.
You'd both be better off with sci
entific help"
"Of course we would, Kay. But l
couldn't sell Joe that idea in a month
of new moons. And he'd rave if he
found out that I went after advice
myself. Besides, where would go
where knew I could be safe?"
She looked up.
"You haven't thought of Bruce Ken
Ming"
Hammond's eyes widened.
"No, I hadn't"
"My father trusted. him for years
and wasn't sorry. He did all that
work down in Peru and Bolivia" She
added bitterly: eve wouldn't be pen
niless now if he had listened to
Bruce" Again there was silence. At
last Kay clenched her hands and
walked to the edge of the ledge. Slow

ture of her in the moonlight. 4 wish

you'll change your mind when you
meet him. Might as well argue with
a tree stump"
"But why bother with him."
"Kay! He's my partner"
"Oh, I didn't mean that. Why not
get your advice and know where you're
going instead of staggering around
blindly. Doesn't it amount to lust
that?"
"In way"
"It seems guidance would help both
of you. A geologist could figure
where that river ran thousand years
ago."
Hammond spoke slowly. maybe
that's an idea, Kay"
"And you can trust Bruce to the
limit. Father did. AS for the fee,
anything until after everything is ov-
err" She laughed. "He'd know better.
I'd slay him if he put in a bill"
Mckenzie Joe would have to stay
in the dark. He'd kick over the
traces"
"Why tell him anything? Look
here, you're digging now at random,
aren't your"
"Just about"
"Then couldn't you just accidentally
dig where Bruce told you to look?"
That's an idea tool"
Then why don't you? You owe it
to yourself. And Joe too. He'd bene-
fit as much as you"
He could think of little except that
she was close to him, vibrantly warm,
that her hair brushed his cheek, that
a soft hand stroked his throat.
"I'll have to be terribly quiet about
it," he said at last. "Maybe it's be
better if you'd sort of pave the way
to Kenning. Don't tell him too much
just enough SO that he'll know what
I'm talking about when I see him."
II will, DEAR" said Kay Joyce softly.
For deliciously long time, she re-
manned close to him. Then slowly she

strange about Kay, her nervousness,
her quickness.
Higher he swung along the trail,
at last to veer under the jutting point
of land which ran out from beneath
the cottage; the trail here followed the
cliff almost to the veranda, where it
jutted straight upward and came out
at the cabin steps. Suddenly he rails
ed his head. Low voices which had
come family from the rear of the
building now had shifted closer until
he could hear every word.
"And I'm telling you, Mother, that
Pm not going to stand for it! won't

GLOW are you going to help your

Joyce were high-pitched, excited. "You

err"
"But, Mother, this terrible Olsonl"
"That's enough about Olson!" Mrs.
Joyce cried out. "I'll be the Judge in
that matterl"
Desperately Hammond began to
whistle. The voices ceased. A mo-
ment later, Kay Joyce met him at the
door, her usual vibrantly pleasant self.

Late that night, Jack Hammond
stood with Kay on a jutting point ov-
erlooking the valley. Here and there
faint light cleaned in the settle

embers of a prospector's evening fire.

Perhaps that's it." She clasped his

fired him. He whirled and caught her
tight to him, his kisses burning her

against his cheek, the brush of an ear

he bent to caress the smoothness of
her throat.

From afar came the roar of an air
plane motor, at last to reveal the rid
ing lights Of Jimmy Moons plane,
skimmling high over the mountains in
the moonlight; it was the third trip
the pilot had made to Wrangell that
day. At last the ship banked in wide
circles and with the motor cut off,
dropped downward to the surface of
the moonlit Sapphire and the nicely of
a safe landing.

Hammond.

CHAPTER s

"Isn't it perfectly thrllllng!" she
asked. There was a queer, feverish
CLINT in her eyes. Her hands opened
and closed spasmodically. Gust to
think of digging up the ground and
picking up gold!"
Olson veered again into mad gy-
rations, at last to bring up short be-
fore Mrs. Joyce and extend his treas
ures to her.
"Look at Mother" the girl said.
"She's actually Interested"
Mrs. Joyce was asking questions
and with an extended finger was turn
ing over the nuggets as they lay in
the giant paws of Olson. The big
man stood there, grinning; somewhat
surprised, Hammond saw Mrs. Joyce
smile quiet gayly. He laughed.
"Gold cerainly is anybody's intro
duction!"
Kay shrugged her shoulders.
"But Mother" she exclaimed, and
did not finish the sentence. They went
on then to examine the sluice box.
After time Hammond followed Kay's
glance as she once more looked back.
Olson and Mrs. Joyce were still talk
ing. At last, Kay said, almost fret
fully:
"But, Jack, all this isn't getting me
started on my gold mine."
He looked at her. "Why the hur-
ry?"
"But isn't that what a person is
supposed to do, the minute you get
in camp?"
Jack stared. you're not serious ?"

"But I just laid the thing aside for

"Then you mean there isn't any

"Of course, hope there's gold. But
what's the need, Kay? There'll be
enough coming out of Joe's claim and
mine."
"But that wouldn't be my claim,
would it? I want to feel it's really
mine-that got it out Of the ground"
"But you couldn't do sthe actual

"No-" she hesitated. "Of course
I couldn't do that"
"Then I'll try to scare you up some

"Oh!" She pushed him playfully.
"I thought for minute you were SER
ious!" Quickly she turned. ooh, Moth
er!" she cried almost petulantly,
":aren't you ever coming?"
Still smiling, Mrs. Joyce parted
from the voluble Olson and then few
feet away, raised hand, wiggling her
fingers in an extra gesture of part
ing. Kay Strengthened.
"Well," she asked, in tone meant
to contain banter, sis he Clark Gable
or John Barrymore?
"He's very nice man." snapped
Mrs. Joyce, her features again emotion

back to the cottage. Hammond return

took the trail upward. This time he
did not hurry. The man was thought

budget Of $7,500, 900 for 1938-3o-40.
The budget, representing an increase
of 3305.254 over expenditures Of the
triennium ended in 1895, encountered
opposition at the church general con-
vention from delegates who felt it gave
too much money to general headquar-
ters in New York and not enough to
missions.
The Rev. r. A. Court Simmonds Of
the diocese OF Oregan summed up the
protests when he said:
THE question OF this increase is
serious matter. We shall return to
our parthes to meet critical ques-
tions. We find as matter Of fact that
the domestic missionary program has
been decreased by the exact amount
that the overhead has been increased
How can we answer criticisms?"
He was referring particularly to the
1898 portion of the budget, which
proposes an expenditure of $2,400, 900.

La Fond. 10 Pick
{. u. Ringmen
For Debut

Coach Eddie La Fond will prob
ably decide today on the eight
lads who will represent the Cath.
olic University ring team in its
opening match of the season with
North Carolina State in the c. U.
gym Saturday night.
Of the group who are candi-
dates for the team, only two divl-
sions have doubtful starters.
These are the 135-pound class and
the heavyweight division. In the
135-pound spot a pair Of room
mates of West Indies extraction
are competing for the right to rep
resent the Cardinals in this divi.
sion.
Same CaIiber
They are Rene Benites, q
Cuban, and Nestor Martinez, a
Puerto Rican. Both lads are Of
about the same caliber, but Ben
ties failed to show up during the
Christmas holidays and whatever
edge he held on his roommate
rival, has been lost.
The other spot, the heavyweight
division, finds Fred Rogers, nee
RydzeWSki, and Leo KatalinaS
regular unlimited representative
of last years team competing for
the assignment. Rogers was a
light heavyweight last winter, but
has taken on SO much weight
since the football season that he
can no longer pare down to the
179-pound limit But regardless Of
which lad La Fond will decide on
at the conclusion of the workouts
for the invading Wolfpack team,
it Is foregone conclusion that
the class will be well taken care of.
This is Katalinas' second year
as a member Of the c. U. boxing
team. AS a rookie last year, he
showed up in fine form and won
most of his battles by knockouts.
He packs terrific wallop in both
hands and has proven beyond a
doubt that he has developed con-
Siderably in twelve months.
Elimination Contest
1t is believed that La Fond will
hold an elimination contest early
next week to decide whether
Katalinas or Rogers will represent
the team agains the powerful
Duke University ringmen who
show here week from Saturday.

starters are concerned it looks as

Regulars Brace
Navy Quint

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. ga re-
markably similar, and to the
coaches, a most pleasant, Situa-
ton exists as to this years basket
ball at the Navy and st. Johns,
the two local institutions.
At the Navy, four of the regu-
lars Of last year are on the court
again, while the return of Bob
Ruge, forward in 1934-1935, who
was kept out of the game by an
injury last year, fills up the hole
made by the graduation Of Capt.
Carl. Fellows. Incidentally, Ruge
has been named as captain for
the year.
At st. Johns, the team of 1886
1896 has returned as a whole,
causing Coach Dutch Lentz to smile
broadly. It was a good team last
year, and there is every reason to
believe that the added year will
mean that the JohnnieS will have
a great small-college team this
season. possibly holding their own
in a higher class.
Navy Regulars
Alan Mcfarland, forward; Frank
Lynch, center, and Bill Ingram,
guard, all Second-classmen, or
juniors, are the Navy regulars Of
last year who are filling the same
places this season. Frank Sha-
mer, who played forward last year,
has been shifted to guard to fill
Fellows place, and Captain Bob
Ruge will have his old place at
forward.
The team, however, is only a
tentative varsity, as there are
other players of last years squad
who have been doing good work
and a fine set of candidates from
the unbeaten plebe team OF last
season.
At st. Johns, Johnny Lambros
and Bill Ross, a pair of brilliant
performers, will again be fore
wards, Jimmy Rowe at center, and
Len De Lisio and Charley Koogle
at the guards, barring something
unforeseen.
Gain Olympic TryOutS
The team made fine showing
last year, topping their season by
entering the Olympic tryouts and
performing creditably. This ex.
perience, Coach Lentz thinks, will
bring results this season.
The schedules of the two local
teams also supplement each other
nicely. The Navy five does most
of its home playing, nine games
out of IA during January, while
the bulk of the Johnnies' home
games are in February and the
first part of March. .
Both schedules have beer
