until Corey called her attention to it had she realized that his long battle was almost won.
 She said, '.Dan can get the bet ter of anything. Without help from anyone, either, except himself. That's the remarkable part"
 Are you so sure, Sally my sweet" Corey asked, his blue eyes narrowing, that Reynolds hasn't had any help, at all?"
 Sally glanced at him sidewise. There was something in Corey's tone she did not quite under stand. She knew, of course, that Corey knew that her father was the head of the firm that had em- ployed Dan. She said quickly, impulSively = for in another min ute Dan would have joined them 1T didn't mean the kind of help you apparently are thinking of, Corey" She had referred to Dams own high courage and faith. And by the way, I've been wanting to ask you something; please don't mention to Dan that my father has stock in Devon and Devons."
 Doesn't Dan know that?" It was Corey who glanced sidewise at Sally now.
 "No, he doesn't" Sally admit ted. I've been meaning to tell him; some day I shall" She had been meaning to tell Dan, too long, she realized now. Somehow something always had kept her from it.
 q see," Corey said. He thought he saw plenty. He thought he saw way to bring things to a show down, to outsmart Dan. "You won't tell him, will you2" Sally said again, half under her breath, for Dan was almost within hear ing distance.
 You know I won't, if you ask me not too," Corey returned.
 Sally gave a little sigh of re- lief. She was glad she had thought to warn Corey. She would not want Dan to learn who his benefactor had been from anyone except her. self. Yet, for some unknown req son, she still had 8 nervous wor- ried feeling. She made up her mind that she would tell Dan the whole truth at the very first opportunity in fact, she would tell him to- night.

your mind to it, my sweet" Corey said. But he knew now it was not going to be so easy as he had thought. He knew that Sally really believed she loved Dan Reynolds.
 Corey had told himself before that it was only because Sally felt responsible for Dams acc1- dent. But now he had to admit that things had changed. Dan had changed, certainly. He had got used to the new world he was living in. He seemed to fit in, to belong to it.
 It was not just that he had made good at Devon and Devons. And now that Corey was an up-and- coming young stockholder himself, thanks to his Dads influence, he knew that Dan, thanks to his own effort and ability, had made good all right, but it went even deeper than that. Dan was now 8 rival whom any man might well have to outsmart in some way.
 
 Well, if necessary, Corey told himself a bit smugly, he would out- smart him in whatever way came to hand. Even if it was a bit under handed. For if Corey's principles were not as high as they might have been, as Sally's father had marked, it was not altogether Corey's fault. He simply felt he had to win, since he always had; he prided himself on being good sport, but he was a poor loser.
 It was most unfortunate that Corey happened to know that Sally's father was the chief stock holder of the firm that had em- ployed Dan Reynolds! Corey had wondered, casually at first, if there was anything more to that than met the eye. He resolved to keep his own eyes open, just in case there might be.
 T say" Corey said to Sally, there's no getting around it, Reynolds has made a remarkable COLIlCUdCh. 4Ill0 Wdo OA1C 4ntC afternoon when "the gang, as they still styled themselves, had gathered at the fashionable club swimming pool which they had frequented all summer long. Dan had just executed a perfect back flip from the highest springboard. Sally had exclaimed, Wasn't that a honey!" and her dark eyes had become bright with admiration.
 There had been so much more than admiration revealed, not only in her eyes, but in her tone, that Corey had decided it was about time there was a showdown. !" Which was why he had remarked that Dan had made a remarkable comeback.
 He's certainly got the best of that limp he had!" Corey added, not without a shade of grudging admiration, from himself, that was genuine. Why! Reynolds walked as good as anyone. It was only when he was tired that he betrayed even a suggestion of limp.
 "Yes, he has," Sally said, watch ing Dan pull himself out of the pool, climb agilely back onto the slippery ledge, walk with firm, sure stride back toward them. Sally had known that Dan had made wonder full progress this summer. But not

 From New York the devout Mathew went to Boston where he held sessions on the Commons. His most dramatic moment in the historic old city came when 5000 persons held up their hands in a single silent pledge.

CHAPTER XIV

Long afterward Sally was to re- member that lovely day by the brook and the things they had talH- ed about and how happy they had been.
 Many, many times she was to wonder why she had not spoken up then, when Dan had told her about his benefactor and all that Ne felt he owed him. If only she had! How much heartache might nave been spared.
 But Dan had told Sally that day that he believed in her. She had not had the courage to risk tell Ing him that she had, in way, deceived him again. That her father was the man who had helped him, because she had asked him to; that Dan owned his posi- ton and his chance to make good in this new world to them.
 Afterwards she could see that that was what he should have done. It had been such perfect day, they had been such friends, Sally and Dan. If Sally had been the one to tell him she could have made Dan understand. But how could she expect him to know, when he heard it from someone else, her reasons for not telling him, for remaining silent that day by the brook? How could she know that this would make him lose faith, his belief in her again?
 In the weeks of the happy carefree summer that followed Sal- ly was much too happy to wonder what the future would hold or to question it or her happiness. It was enough that she and Dan were friends, that they could share so many hours together, that Dan was growing more and more like his old self again.
 It was Corey, surprisingly, who pointed out just how much Dan had changed to Sally one day. Corey, home now, was working in his fathers office or at least putting up Q good bluff at working.
 Sally had gone up to Dart mouth for the graduation exer- cises as she had promised him she would. It had been an impress sivo sight, so many fine young men, in cap and gown, stepping from the threshold of one life into new one. A new life that would be made easy for Corey Porter, whose father was a rich man, who felt, if he wanted any, thing badly enough, he surely would get it eventually.
 Corey still treated Sally with that attitude. He told her, as he had before, that he expected to marry her lone of these days"

 When the team is finally selected we will be well represented There need be fear that for Alaska can boast of riflemen who hold their own in any company Perhaps should tip those boys down at Perry off that the Alaska lads have been practicng on Brown Bear at a thousand yards and never missing, but they'll probably find it out anyway
 But aside from the shooting which is going to be very ably taken of, Alaska is going to get some national publicity from this undertaking Com ing from the far north, the Territorial rifemen bound to be an attraction to the thousands that gather at Perry. They going to create lot of interest in Alaska The rest of should to it that they go down there properly equipped to represent Alaska

Pump and Pump Handle
(NeW York World Telegraph


 Announcing that he had signed the big spending lending bill President Roosevelt occasion to make some optimistic remarks about business prospects. Asked whether the general economic picture shows signs of improvement he said:
 There have been few rain drops coming from the heavens that probably will be followed by much needed showers"
 Stock Exchange prices had shown a second day of sharp advances with the largest trading volume since March. Perhaps that's a ran-drop signalling break in the long drought. Steel production is gain ing @ little. Lines the business charts turned upward last week for the first time in months There is other encouraging news.
 But MT. Roosevets immediate hope, of course, is that the prospect of billions to be spent until the bill he has just signed will start a faster climb out of depression. That the theme of the radio speeches by Secretary Wallace Administrator Hop kins and other spending chiefs
 There is such popular enthusiasm over this spending program there earlier ones. There is less faith in government pump prning more apprehension concerning the ultimate effect of tinued deficit financing, more resentment against political of the money
 But these things are certainly true
 l. No matter what anyone may think of the wisdom of this program the money is going to be spent That's settled.
 2. It is to the best interests of the whole coun- try that the spending should accomplish all of it's beneficial economic purposes, immediate and per- manent if that is possible.
 3. Nothing can be gained at this stage by grous- ing about the program refusing to cooperate with it.
 In other words. the government is going to pour billions into the pump, and the smart thing for busi- ness, industry and everyone else is to take hold of the pump handle, work at it with might and and hope fervently that the prining will catch

THAT NAVAL BASE IN ALASKA

Speaking to home folks in a brief radio chat last night Delegate Dimond pointed out that four nun dred million dollars have been spent on the deIehse nroeram for the Hawaiian Islands adding, that if the Hawaiian expenditures can be justified, then hKe defense costs can be justified in Alaska. The Dele gate frankly stated that he thought both were Justi- fled but as he illustrated in further remarks little actually has been spent thus far in defense of Alaska in comparison with the amount which must be ex- pended if the North Pacific and the Territory are to be properly defended against invasion.
 It is significant fact as MT. Dimond brought out that no future naval battles likely to be fought off Seattle off the Golden Gate or off San Pedro harbor The Pacific line of defense runs south ward from the Aleutans to Hawaii and Samoa and thence eastward to the Panama Canal Somewhere along that line is where invader is likely to be spotted and an actual clash Most vulnerable in that defense line is the northern end or the Aleu- tian Islands of Alaska. With the exception of few brief weeks in the summer time when part of the battle force moves north. there not enough de- fense forces in Alaska to wad shotgun. An enemy could during most of the year. move into northern waters take over the Territory and entrench itself before Navy or Army forces in adequate numbers could get here from the States to do very much about it.
 Fortunately some progress is being made naval base is being started at Sitka. Hopes pinned on another station atKodak. Plans outlined for the Aeutians Authorization has been given for an Army base probably in the vicinity of Fairbanks But what is needed and needed badly. is naval base in the Aleutan chain comparable with Pearl Harbor and the defenses of the Hawaiian Islands if Alaska and continental United States to be adequately de- tended on it's northern flank
 The Delegate has been pushing for such legisa- ton before Congress As matter of record, his bill to that end made considerable progress during the last session. At the next of Congress 1t should be passed.
 National defense is not only defense against in vason in time of but it should mean defense for cur industries We talk great deal about protecting salmon crop in Alaskan waters Adequate military and naval defense of this northern Territory with established bases and modern equipment of is just about the best protection think of for the great northern salmon industry, industry which annually produces wealth of between forty and fifty million dollars. fairly nice little naval base could be built for that kind of money.

 An attack upon the American Legion which des- crbes that organization Fascist and unpatriotic similar" in stripe to the Black Legion and "reaetionary group used too' by the privileged classes" carries its rebuttal in the very gance of its language and of it's allegations. No good purpose is accomplished through the publication of such an attack by an agency of Teachers College of Columbia University.
 With some of the policies for which the American Legion has stood this newspaper has disagreed phatioally It opposed to prepayment of the soldiers bonus. It believes that an even stronger argument be made against any step that leads in the direction of general service pension plan has not approved in all the action taken by local units of the Legion in such matters as industrial disputes or controversies over the safeguarding of civil liberties. But disagreement such points as these need not and does not dim admiration for other purposes with which the Legion has been associated Its deep and continuing interest in those veterans who actually disabled in the service of their country provides assurance that these men will be forgotten neglected It's unfagging efforts to cultivate interest in and reverence for American institutions and traditions have made it Stabilizing force of unquestioned sincerity and patriotism
