but something understanding
that had a touch of the exotic

But the woman who has it doesn't
have to be good-looking or patri-

the supreme gift in a mans uni

son-to pull his world about his
ears while singing the song of the
Siren-though Toni herself, de-
spite her degree in literature,
would have been the last person
to liken herself to Cleopatra or
Delilah.
While standing idly before the
mirror, she patted the curls on the
nape of her neck. Her hands were
lovely, and beautifully cared for.
She had sat for a San Francisco
sculptor for her hands, and once
in Paris for a needy artist. Both
exhibits had won prizes and fame
for the sculptor and the artist.
She was taking physical stock of
herself now. Wondering what it
really was that Brock saw in her.
San Francisco society teemed with
lovely girls, pert debutanteS, chic
matrons slightly bored with life,
and avid divorces from the East

China, or Tahiti, but preferably
into the arms of matrimony again.

Brock gave JeSsica small encour-

hind her back that was so markedly
exposed at numerous San Fran

Yes. Brock was hers, and the
fact that other women liked him,
she decided, was flattering to her.
Jealousy was belittling, a COMES

in the secret places of her heart,
Toni had been tinglingly aware
that she had felt it.

Romance of Tore . Fills Gun Store On Seward Street
Truesdell Has Colt Rifle Made for Connie
 Colt, 1873

He has medals for excellence in craftsmanship with firearms and he will not talk about them. He has rare guns worth staggering sums. He is worshipped by the growing boys of Juneau who have BIB guns or 22's that get bewilder- ingly out of order. He is Mort Truesdell, gunsmith.
 Fifty years ago, Mort Truesdell, a strapping young man with love for guns and uncanny understand ing of their innermost working se- crets, started gun store. In 1913 he brought the accumulated know ledge of 26 years of gunsmithing to Juneau, where he opened store with Jim Russell on lower Front Street.
 Today he is still a lover of guns and what little he has forgotten about his trade, many younger men will never learn. That love for firearms that Mort possesses is an infectious thing. The delicious di- sease of it strikes you the moment you enter his gun-studded store on Seward Street and makes the desk bound man yearn for yesterday or today where a man might walk the ways of the forest with gun in hand the elements massed around.
 It goes deeper than that. It is the most romantic spot in Juneau,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1937-10-02

but to be cold aisd financially con- scious, MT Truesdell's guns are worth money
 For instance. there is a number of fine. old firearms made by the old masters whose work has been supplanted by mechanical dies and stamps. There is double -barreled Colt rifle in a rack that is singular in it's niche of fame. for it is one of three such guns in existence.
 A 45-70, beautiful tnree-ply Da- mascus steel-barreled gun with shining walnut stock, it was a made -to-order gun some here around 1873, made for Connie Colt, the elder Colts son. It is as per feet now as it was when it was made. The Colt firearms people want to buy it. They do not have one. Many wealthy gun collectors have felt insulted because their money would not buy it. Mort Truesdell will not sell it.
 There are dozen of guns with stories behind them. There is an old flintlock rifle in an antler rack that was Hudson Bay gun in this part of the country, long and clumsy looking, but according to Mort, in use by many of the In- dians here as late as World War. {. days.
 Two rusty guns in another rack are old Spencer rifles, made at the close of the Civil War One was found under ten feet of earth and trash in excavating for the new light company building. Another was found in cave at the head of Hoonah Sound in 1924 with an ancient powder and ball revolver. A mans decaying bones lay beside them
 With the crispness of approach ing winter in the air, the sound of whispering wings over tidal flats and the stamp and snort of buck deer in the forest, Mort Trues-t dell's little gun store is the busiest place in Juneau.

GREEN BERG IS
 ATTEMPTING TO
 BREAK RECORD
Detroit Dynamiter Swings Bat to Equal or Beat
 Lou Gehrig's s Mark
(By Associated PreSS)

Hank Greenberg of the Detroit Tigers is taking his big bat in hand trying his hardest to make things interesting during the dying mo- ments of the Major League base ball season.
 The point at issue is whether the Detroit dynamiter can equal or break Lou Gehrig's American League record of 184 runs batted in during one season, the 1881 mark.
 Hank has total of 179 runs bat ted in with two more games left to equal or break the record and if he can keep up Fridays pace of six, Gehrig's mark is gone, although Hank would still fall short of the all-time Major League high of l90 made by Hank Wilson of the Chi cago Cubs in 1930
 Greenberg clouted out two homers yesterday and each time two men were on bases which he added to a record by double measure

 -A.Q .Qao.----

Courage!
 The magic quality in sports that rarely fails to win the hearts of sports enthusiasts.
 Tommy Farr won the hearts of 000 fight fans who watched his game stands against Champion Joe Louis as well as the countless thousands who read about the fight in the newspapers or heard it over the air.
 Instead of proving lamb led to slaughter at the dynamite-laden fists of the Brown Bomber, Farr stepped into the ring and battled Joe Louis without the slightest trace of fear. As he continued to stand up under the bruising blows of the champion round after round the crowd lined up behind him, the un- derdog, and cheered his efforts to resist the man who has been labelled the hardest puncher of all time.
 Cut and bleeding from cuts un- der both eyes and around his mouth, Farr continued to bore in. He had promised to give the fans good go' and that is exactly what he did. His reward was the plaudits of the crowd, and a promise that lucrative matches awaited him. His reward for courage.
 Shortly before Farr and Louis swung into action flock of cham pions were introduced in the ring. And whom do you suppose received the greateest hand from the assem- bled fans? Jimmy Braddock! And why? All because of the courag- eous manner in which he battled it out with the Brown Bomber when he lost his title in Chicago. Brad dock in defeat is far more popular than he was as champion.
 Don Budge's courage served him well when Baron von Cramm won the first two sets in the recent Da- wis Cup inter-zone finals. The Davis Cup was practically riding on that match Budge never weakened. He came back to take the next three sets and paved the way to victory over the British in the challenge round.
 War Admirafs game demonstra- tion in the Belmont Stakes was grand dispaly of courage. The game little thoroughbred stumbled at the start and sheared off his right quarter. Leaving a trail of blood around the track. he raced to a length victory and a new track record for the mile and a half

What Two
Things Happen
When You Are
|COnsfiEsafed?

When you are constipated two things hap
pen. FIRST: Wastes swell up the bowels and
press on nerves in the digestive tract. This
nerve pressure causes headaches, dull. lazy
feeling, bilious spells. loss of appetite and dig
illness. SECOND: Partly digested food starts
to decay forming GAS, bringing on sour
stomach (acid indigestion), and heartburn.
bloating you up until you sometimes gasp for
breath.
Then you spend many miserable days. You
can't eat You can't sleep. Your stomach is
sour. You feel tired out. grouchy and miser-
able.
To get the complete relief you seek you
must do TWO things. l. Y You must relieve the
GAS. 2. You must clear the bowels and GET
THAT PRESSURE OFF THE NERVES.
As soon as offending wastes are washed out
you feel marvelously refreshed, blues vanish,
the world looks bright again.
There is only one product on the market
that gives you the double action you need. 1t
is ADLERIkA. This efficient carminative
cathartic relieves that awful GAS at once. 1t
often removes bowel congestion in half an
hour. No waiting for overnight relief. Adler
ika acts on the stomach and both bowels. Or
binary laxatives act on the lower bowel only.
Adlerika has been recommended by many
doctors and druggists for 35 years. No grip
ing, no after effects. just QUICK results.
Try Adlerika today. You'll say you have
never used such an efficient intestinal cleanser.

Being Left-Handed

If you are left-handed, don't wor-

regarded the use of the left hand
as something not quite nice, OBJ
serves a writer in London Answers
Magazine. They would use every
form of persuasion to make a child
use the right hand, however unnat-

scientists say that it is wrong to
make a child turn from his instinct
whichever hand he habitually uses
is the right hand for him. In fact,
to compel him to change may have a
serious effect on him mentally
and physically. One expert goes fur

everyone to learn to use both hands
