II have seen him talking to her
once before, few nights ago."
Besserley was silent for moment
or two. Nothing in the world could
have seemed more ridiculous to him
than that the fact of the girls having
made friends with Drousson should
disturb him. Yet he knew quite we'll
that he was displeased.
Late in the afternoon, Besserley was
making rather half-hearted attempt
at continuing his work in his chdteau
when Henri announced a visitor.
Monsieur will pardon me. he said.
II have been compelled to use my own
judgment as you wished. A young
person has arrived from Monte Carlo
and desires a few words with you.
1t isa young woman quietly dressed
and of respectable appearance, sir.

not out.
You may have difficulty remember
ing to keep your rounded shoulders
pulled down and back. So did the
graceful Kitty Carlisle. But work at
it, as she did, until it becomes automa-
tic. Watch your posture in shop win
dows, and remind yourself over and
over again to straighten out your
shoulders and pull up your chest, un-
til walking erectly becomes habit.
How do you sit? This singing star of
the screen tells you to make sure OF
your chair by feeling for it with the
back of your knees Then, with one
foot slightly forward. ease the body
down gracefully. until the full weight
rests on the pelvic bones. Keep the
spine straight, the abdomen in. and
when you move forward. bend from
the hips. If you want to cross your
legs. make the movement swiftly,
pulling your skirts down simultane-
ously. Keeping the toe of the swinging
foot gracefully pointed is trick of the
theater which adds beauty.
When you walk, keep your weight
even over the arches of your feet, and
move in a straight line with your feet
pointed straight. One of the most
graceful walks is a kind of suction
step with the outsides of the feet and
toes gripping the ground.
In my next article ! will discuss
more fully the particular problem of
hips - for they can be kept slim.

she declined to give her name"
"You may bring her in"
1t was Yvonne. his little dancing
partner. She entered very timidly but
there were signs of relief in her express
sion at Besserley's friendly greeting.
''Sit down." he invited. pointing to
a chair. They tell me that you have
walked up the hill You must take
some refreshment at once Will you
have wine or tea?"
"A little tea" she begged.
He gave the order and the tea was
brought. She helped herself with
trembling fingers. but she was every
moment becoming more composed.

II would rather not, thank you,"
she faltered. Il shall need all my
breath for what have to say"
II am a good listener. Tell me what
has happened"
You will remember the man who
drank with you so morosely at the
Knickerbocker last night" she began.
you were surprised that l should
know he was your enemy. 1t was be-
cause, once before, when you we're
playing host at the Knickerbocker,
he had sat down at my table and had
talked to me about you. You had
never spoken to me then, but knew
your reputation for kindness and
generosity, and made some COM
ment about it. He became very angry"
Hates me like poison" Besserley
admitted. I'VE we're mixed up to-
gether in some government business.
"He told me-" she went on, that
you were the friend of spies, that you
pretended to be friend of France,
but that you were working against
her. 1t made me shiver to hear him
say unkind things about you, whom l
knew, by reputation, to be so differ
ent from his description, so stopped
him. l think, perhaps, he had drunk
too much, for just before he left he
pulled a card from his pocket and
showed it to me. l caught only a
glimpse, but it looked like an invita-
ton to a banquet.

him! Bah! Bah! Good night, child.
There was so much threat, so
much cruelty in his voice when he
spoke of you that l could not help
thinking about it. l had to come and
see you at once. wanted to warn you"
A sudden light flashed in upon Bes-
serley. From his pocketbook he drew
out the few scrawled lines which had
brought their haunting sense of evil.
1T was you who sent me these?"
Yes" she said II tried to bring
up the subject again last night. but
you turned the conversation aside.
1t seemed plain to me that you did not
wish to speak of it. but l thought.
He knows he is in danger. Ihave
warned him.
Besserley smiled at her. 1T is you
who have been generous" he said.
ITO take such trouble for stranger,
but what has happened to make you
again afraid for me?"
Last night" she said, latter you
had left, Colonel Drousson came once
more to my table. Well. little one,
he greeted me. tomorrow night you
may pray for your big generous man.
He will need your prayers.
Il did not invite him to sit down.
l felt angry and think he saw it.
From his coat pocket he again drew
out the card which had seen. He
showed it to me.
"a great honor that he said.
Perhaps! Oh yes - perhaps!
1T was an invitation to formal
gathering at some barracks to meet
ve.y great man Il think he is the
greatest man in the French army -
and to take part in some function"
Besserley rose to his feet and showed
her a square card. Like that?"
THE same," she answered eagerly.
Besserley nodded. He was beginning
to feel very curious. 1T is an invita-
ton to meet, at the barracks" he told
her, "a very great man indeed of the
French army"
''And what does that mean?" she
asked. pointing to line at the top.
THAT means that one is to wear
all ones ORDERS" he explained.
Il do not understand" she con-
fessed. 1T is strange"
Besserley, too, looked perplexed.
Neither do l." he admitted. "He gave

WEN after she has stopped count
ing birthdays. a woman of fine
- posture can maintain her repu-
tation for youth as we'll as beauty.
Nothing makes her so arresting as
knowing how to stand, sit. and walk
Anne Moore, veteran teacher at the
American Academy of Dramatic Arts,
has had special opportunity to prove
this, for her correction of posture
defects has helped many young ac-
tresses to distinguish themselves.
According to Miss Moore, posture

defects of figure, subtract years.
handle your body with distinction.
and enhance the smartness of clothes
To look taller, you must pull the
slack out of your posture. Nazimova
claims, with good proof, that she can
add four inches to her stature. Stand
up as tall as naughty duchess, but
without strain. The suaighter you
keep your spine. the more perfect your
figure will be. One end of your spine
should point to the floor, the other to
the ceiling. Pull up your chest. Draw
in your abdomen. Hold up your head
so that the crown follows the straight
line of your spine. And have no worry
about your chin. Its line will be at a
right angle with your neck, and as
cleanly etched as child's.
Mark your height on the wall before
and after you achieve this perfect
alignment, and see the difference.
Ifyou are already tall, the improved
posture will add to the distinction of
your figure.
Do you want your chest to look
fuller? You can increase its depth and
breadth by pulling your shoulders
wide. Try it, and check your chest
expansion on a tapeline. Sloped,
rounded shoulders, hollow chest, and
a hump on the back of the neck will
vanish like magic.
For Simmer waistline, too, you

men, and draw up the bulges at the

There is also" the man announced,
indicating parcel which lay on the
salver he was carrying, this box
which arrived for you few minutes
ago. 1t is registered and stamped with

Besserley took it into his hand and
examined it curiously He broke the
seals and opened the small wooden
box. From it he drew out a morocco
case and letter. He read the letter
and although he was a man who sell
domshowedemotion the color mounted
to his forehead. his eyes flashed. He
opened the morocco case almost rever-

HOLBROOKS BACK FROM SOUTH AFTER
 MONTHS OUTSIDE

Assistant Regional Forester We'll man Holbrook returned to Juneau today on the Alaska after being Out side since February undergoing treatment to his left arm. He was accompanied by Mrs. Holbrook who has been near him most of the time when he was confined to hos pitals.
 The Forest Service official was looking fine and his arm was some what better, he reported, than it had been, but he is required to take exercises daily in an effort to re- cover it's full use.
 i've either been in hospitals or under their supervision since went Outside in February" Hol- brook said today, in expressing his delight at getting back to Alaska. First it was in San Francisco, then Seattle and finally Mayo Brothers. I still don't know just what's the matter with my arm, but am hope full of getting it's full use again
 The Forester was back at his desk this afternoon and said he already felt better due to getting back at the work he has followed for almost 30 years.

Alaska Salvation Army May Change
 In Jurisdiction

The Salvation Army in Alaska may come under the jurisdiction of the Army in the States instead of the Army in Canada.
 It is believed that the present tour of It. Col T. Jackson and his wife, who are making the round trip on the North Sea, will have an important bearing on the future jurisdiction. It. Col. Jackson is Divisional Commander of Califor- mia with his headquarters in Los Angeles.
 While the North Sea was in port, the visiting Salvation Army off cial was taken on an inspection of the local barracks in Juneau, vari- ous sights around the city and to Mendenhall Glacier, by Capt Stan- ley Jackson and his wife, local of ficer, and R. B. LeSher.

Bird Expert in North

L. J. Goldman of Biological Survey Sees Merit in AL
 askans Demands

The decline in the number of ! gradual for a period of years fin ally has been halted and before , long the result should be an in- | crease in the number raised on the |. northern feeding grounds, accord ing to L. J. Goldman, Field Natural ! ist for the Biological Survey who arrived in Juneau on the Alaska and who expects to be in the Ter ritory until October studying par ticularly migratory bird conditions.
 Goldman admits of being a bird of passage" himself His job hap pens to have to do mostly with the migratory bird treaty into which the United States, Canada and Mexico have entered to further the supply At his duties he has travelled over much of the three countries, sticking especially to the flight routes. He knows the haunts of ducks and geese as few do. Now he is going to include Alaska in the study which may bode well for AL aska sportSmen.
 While the migratory bird man was ncn-committal on Alaska conditionA due to lack of intimate knowledge, he explained, he did point out that he had found very definite feel ing in British Columbia and other Canadian provinces that people of the north were not permitted Suf- ficient shooting He said he found on every hand in the north he has so far visited the feeling that i've raise the ducks for you fellows down in the States to shoot" and added that he saw considerable merit in the idea.
 q don't think any body would object in the States if you were given longer shooting" he said. Down there they just don't think about it, being too concerned with their own back yards"

By FRANK GORRIE

SEATTLE, June 14.-On rainy afternoon four years ago a gangling youngster wandered down to the University of Washington shell house.
 After standing around awhile, sort of sizing up the place, he strolled over to Coach Al Ulbrickson, and said, with a dead-pan face:
 "I want to be the first string stroke for the Washington varsity"
 "Oh, sure, sure" said Al with wink to his assistant, Tom Bolles now head coach at Harvard. We can always use a good stroke. You're just in time. Get your clothes off and help us out in Old Nero" (Old Nero is the training bargs)
 Like all beginners, this fellow Don Hume had to be shown where to put his feet and how to work the sliding seat, but he didn't have to be told much about pulling an oar
 
 And sure enough, this chap Hume moved into the stroke seat of the freshman boat. Since then he has paced Washington crews to successive victories in Pacific coast, Poughkeepsie and Olym- pic Games races. He never has lost race. His last varsity appearance will be in the regatta at Pough- keepsie June 27.
 Today he is the idol of all freshman oarsmen and is highly respected, and sometimes feared, by his own varsity teammates. He is hailed as one of the truly great oarsmen of all time.
 Hume competed in football, bas- ketball and track in his high schoo days in Anacortes and Olympia Wash, but his hobby was sailing He virtually lived on the water as a youngster and boasts he has carved his initials on every island in the San Juan archipelago.
 A One Girl Man
 He is sarcastic, a natural-borr leader, a one-girl man, and ought to wear glasses, but won't. He can't recognize you 10 feet away At the oar he never changes his expression no matter how tough the going. He can time cadence better than a watch.
 He has more shoddy hats than a junk man and always wears one of them in the shell. His pet is a red tam.
 He is studying transportation, as well as practicing it. He figures he has rowed the equivalent of more than one-sixth of the way around the world. He insists he is taking a Swear course, and will be in school again next year, but his team mates chide him that it is taking him that long to get through a A. year term.
