It was late when Evans came to
Castle Manor with his dog in his
arms. Rusty was comfortable and
he mad wagged a grateful tail. The
pain had gone out of his eyes and
the veterinary had said that in
few days the wound would heal.

flower of his youth, wonder-lad,
with none to match him among his
friends. He had come back crushed
and broken. He, whose career lay
so close to his heart-could do now
no sustained work. Mentally and
physically he must rest. He might
be years in getting back. He would
never get back to gay and gallant
boyhood. That was gone forever.
Yet if Mrs. Follette's heart had
failed her at times, she had never
shown it. She was making the farm
pay for itself. She supplied the peo-
pie of Sherwood Park and surround
ing estates with milk. But she
never was in any sense-a milk
woman. 1t was, rather, as il in
selling her milk she distributed fa-
vors. 1t was on this income that she
subsisted, she and her son.
Later he and Jane walked togeth-
er in the clear cold. She was in a
gay mood. She was wrapped in
her old orange cape, and the sun,
breaking the bank of sullen clouds
in the west, seemed to turn her
1.-the young body into flame.
Don't you love day like this,
Evans?" She pressed forward up
the hill with all her strength. Ev-
ans followed, painting. At the top
they sat down for moment on an
old log-which faced the long aisles
of snow between thin black trees.
The vista was clear-cut and almost
artificial in its restraint of color and
its wide bare spaces.
Evans little dog, Rusty, ran back
and forth-following this trail and
that. Finally in pursuit of rab-
bit, he was led far afeld. They
heard him barking madly in the
distance. 1t was the only sound in
the stiffness.
"Jane," Evans said, "do you re-
member the last time we were
here?"
"Yes." The light went out of her
eyes.
LAS I look back it was heaven,
Jane. I'd give anything on Gods
earth if I was where I was then"
All the blood was drained from
her face. Evans, you wouldn't, >"
passionately, ''you wouldn't give up
those three years in France"
He sat very still. Then he said
tensely, mo, | wouldn't, even
though it has made me lose you
Jane"
"You mustn't say such things"
.I must. Don't know? You were
such an unawakened little thing, my
dear. But I could have-waked you.
And I can't wake you now. That's
my tragedy. You'll never wake up
for me-

Mrs. Toilette had been born in
Maryland with a tradition of aris-
tocratic blood. 1t was this tradi-
tion which had upheld her through
years of poverty after the Civil war.
A close scanning of the family tree
might have disclosed ancestors who
had worked with their hands. But
these, Mrs. Follette's family had
chosen to ignore in favor of one
grandfather who had held Colonial
office, and who had since been mag
nified into a parsonage.
Mr.. Toilette, during his lifetime,
had walked mile each morning to
take the train at Sherwood Park,
and had walked back a mile each
two peripatetic miles day, and
of eight hours at his desk, and of
eternally putting on his dinner coat
when there was no one to see, and
like old Baldwin Barnes, he had laid
him down with will.
At his death all income stopped,
and Mrs. Toilette had found herself
on somewhat lonely peak of ex-
clusiveness. She could not afford
to go with her richer neighbors, and
she refused to consider Sherwood
seriously. Now and then, however,
she accepted invitations from old
friends, and in return offered such
simple hospitality as she could af-
ford without self-consciousness.
She had, too, sort of admirable
courage. Her ambitions had been
wrapped up in her son. What her
father might have been, Evans was
to be. They had scrimped and saved
that he might 60 to college and
study law. Then, at that first dread
full cry from across the seas, he had
gone. There had been long months
of fighting. He had left her in the

HONOLULU. Aug. "a (N.A.N.A.).
The first leg of our survey flight
looking to an air route linking the
United States, New Zealand and
New zealand's. neighbors in the
area down under" was very much
in Pan-American's tradition for
FIRST flights" We arrived yesterday.
1t was very much routine flight.
Starting out from San Francisco
with favoring wind to help the
California Clipper along the great
circle course to Honolulu, we made
great speed at first. We were slowed
up trifle during the middle portion
OF the flight by moderate winds from
the Northwest, and finally coasted
doWnhill to Honolulu on a nine knot
tailwind. We had opportunities for
celestial sights whenever we wanted
them. In the early evening, we OBJ
tanned radio bearing on the U. S.
S. Henderson and later had bearings
on other ships.
But If the flying part was routine,
the trip was no commonplace occur
renee. Leaving San Francisco for
the first flight over this new route to
New Zealand, via Honolulu, Canton
Island and New Caledonia, we were
cheered on our way by thousands of
spectators lining the sea wall along
the port of trade winds at the Clip
per base on Treasure Island. We had
with us Clinton M. Hester, admins
traitor Of the Civil Aeronautics Au-
thority; E. L. Yuravich, the C. A. A. s
air carrier inspection service chief,
and representatives of the United
States Army, Navy and Coast Guard.
Canton Island Next Objective.
The official tone lent to the oc-
casion by the presence of these rep
resentatives of our Government en-
phasized the Importance to America
OF this survey flight. Trade with
New Zealand is an important fac
tor in our country's economic pic
tnre, and the service to New Zealand
will speed communications with Aus
tralia and innumerable islands Of
the South Seas.
Continuing our journey today and
heading for down under" we will
have as our next objective Canton
Island-the newest ocean flying base
Like Midway and Wake Islands on
the older air route to China, Canton
Island was a barren coral atoll when
the United States and Pan American
Airways selected it for a midocean
air base.
Now it has been transformed into
a busy and efficient ocean air
terminal, with standard Pan Amer
ican dock maintenance facilities,
radio facilities, crew quarters and
commissary, and soon there will be
Pan American hotel too-it will
be ready for use in time for the
passenger service which Pan Amer

lean has requested authority to

Average 1l1 Miles Per Hour.
Our flight from San Francisco was
accomplished in just over II hours
at an average speed Of about l41
miles per hour-good flying for this
season, with headwinds or quartering
winds ordinarily present.
The flights dual character as q
trail-blazing venture, at the same
time, q regular routine operation
particularly on this first leg to
Honolulu-was emphasized by the
character of the passenger list. In
addition to the officials already
mentioned, and eight representatives
of Pan American Always, there
were four regular passengers aboard
for the flight to Honolulu. Since
this portion Of the survey flight was
an operation carried out weekly by
the company and across a stretch
of ocean which the California Clipper
already has crossed more than a
score of times, we had authority to
accept revenue passengers and ex-
press to Honolulu, and one who
availed himself Of this opportunity
for speed to Hawaii was Stanley
Kennedy, president of the Inter-
Island Steam Navigation Co. and
of Inter-Island Always In Hawaii.

Bomb Scare Caused
By Weather Balloon

JUNEAU - To the railroad sec
ton man, thinking about Canada
being in the war, it looked like
someone was trying to bomb the
Canadian National railway, about 10
miles east of New Hazelton, accord
ing to word received here.
The section man was patroling
the line and looking after the
bridge at that point thinking of all
the things that would be happening
now that war had been declared and
no doubt imagining that his partic-
ular section would be one selected
for trouble by an enemy when he
looked up and saw an object de-
scending suspended from two small
balloons.
The thing came drifting down and
came to rest in a tree by the bridge.
Thoroughly alarmed and feeling sure
that some diabolical scheme was on
foot he Immediately sent in an
alarm to the police. Police from Ha-
zelton and Smithers both proceeded
to the scene to investigate.
The balloons with the box sus-
pended from them were dislodged
from the tree and examined and
proved to be weather balloons that
were sent up from Juneau.
The section man was quite reliev-
ed to know that the enemies of the
British empire were not yet trying
to bomb Canadian bridges, but said
it was quite a coincidence that this
balloon had travelled all the way
from Juneau, to alight ON the rail-
way line at such a crucial time and
when guards had just taken up their
patrols to watch for untoward Incl
dents.

Record Enrolment
Wrangell Institute

Wrangell Institute opened its
ninth school year Monday with 175
students, the largest enrolment in
its history, which is expected to
reach 200 when all the students
have arrived, and a very successful
year is indicated.
Built in 1881 as a vocational
boarding school by the Bureau of In
dian affairs, the enrolment for sew
eral years was restricted to boys and
girls who had completed the eighth
grade. With few exceptions the stu
dents came from Southeastern Alas
ka.
Gradually, students were admit
ted from other parts of the Territory
and seventh and eighth grade classes
provided. This year, still another
group has been added. Students who
have been graduated from the Elk
lutna vocational school and Wran-
CELL Institute, neither of which are
accredited high schools, but who
must have accreditation to enter
college to train for one of the pro-
fessions, will be given the special
work in which they are deficient.
This meets the problem of MAX
ing the curriculum conform to the
needs of the greater part of the stu
dents in preparing them to live in
Alaska. It also provides for the rel
atively small number who wish col
lege study.
Geo. T. Barrett, principal of the
Institute deferred the opening of
school from September as had been
intended, in order to give the stu
dents a chance to finish the fishing
season and to help at home in the
preparation of winter wood. Mr..
Barrett believes this makes a better
balanced year for the students. Here
tofore, they have left the school
about the middle of May but after
returning home had nothing to do
except loaf around in the villages
waiting for the fishing season to
start.

Captain Darlington said today, and
operations could have continued
three weeks longer, but work on the
dragline was needed and it was de-
cided not to take chances on a ma
jor breakdown. Next year their crew
will include an electric welder.
Placer operations were conducted
this season with a dragline and cat
erpillar with a bulldozer for use in
taking care of the tailings. A new
Page bucket for the dragline has
been ordered and 700 feet of pipe.
They viii be taken to Telegraph
Greek before navigation closes and

the season. The leases bought from
Percy Peacock will require ten to
twelve years to work out.

HIGH PRICE
SECURED
FALL FISH

The minimum price Of Il cents
for fall dogs, with an extra cent for
delivery, was arrived at yesterday
in negotiations between seiners and
packers, according to word received
from Ketchikan headquarters by
James Cauley, acting agent for the
Alaska Salmon Purse seiners union
and agent of the Cannery Workers
Auxiliary Union.
This is held to be an excellent
price but even so, it is expected
there will be a substantial increase
before the season, which opens Mon
day morning, closes on October Is.
1t is also reported here that at
least Is cents will be paid for bright
cohoes. For the first time since 1884
when the Wrangell Packing Com
pany put up a fall pack, have seiners
and cannery workers had the extra
fall income at Wrangell and twenty
of the larger local seineboats will be
out on the grounds with the expeeta-
ton of selling to A. R. Brueger
Seven other canneries in Southeast
ern Alaska have re-opened their
canneries.

A most arresting window display
was placed in the Bank of Wran-
CELL window Tuesday. It consisted
of a gold pan in which were arrang-
ed 80 ounces of gold nuggets whose
values ranged from five to seventy
five dollars. the majority being
forty and fifty-dollar values.
The nuggets came from the placer
leases of the Boulder Greek Mining
Company Ltd. in the McDames area
of the Cassiar and were part of a
7OO-ounce shipment brought out by
Capt. S. c. Darlington, who with
Joe Walsh of Seattle. former Daw-

ground Percy Peacock last year took
out approximately $4,000 by hand
methods.
