CHAPTER ELEVEN

WHILE HE. glumly ate a sand
witch and a glass of milk for lunch
declining to sit with the seven
girls who had been so peremptorily
hired in the Merrifield mansion
Bill Bailey made his plans. Right
after lunch he would go to old Mr..
Merrifeld and confess that circum-
stances had made him change his
mind about working at this
strange job, Then he would devote
his life to counting Gayle Dixon
a free man to do whatever was
necessary.
In his mind he had magnifed
Jeremy Tucker as rival of ire
mendous possibilities, a condition
brought about by Jeremy's back
ground of wealth. The S1.40 in
Bills pocket-an his earthly as
sets-was symbolically. as well as
actually, small.
However, Bill had barely drunk
the last swallow of milk when old

him, beaming.
"Well, we'll, young sir. I was
looking for you" The old man
looked younger. Want to congrat-
ulate you and Miss Dixon on a fine
start. The little impromptu dinner
last evening was excellent, and I
note that you have not delayed in
launching your other plan-the,
ah, Little Theater movement here.
I like that. I like to see plan
put into action promptly"
THANK you, sir" said Bill,
but"
mo butts, young sir! Modesty is
becoming, but encouragement
should be received where it is due.
Now listen here. I have another
idea that I-oh, Miss Dixonr

come in sight. and she smiled as
she approached them.
Eyes, Mr.. Merrifeld"
II was just congratulating young
Bailey here. And 1 congratulate you,
too. I expect it was your effort as
much as his, in truth. The party
last evening, and the immediate
launching of our ittle-ah, private
plan" He paused to cnuckle.
1T was a nice evening"" she adj
mitted.
Correct. So nice that I want
you to do it again."
"Oh! All right, surely"
Il mean, young lady and young
sir, that the thought of having a
welcoming party for Jeremy was
an excellent one. l should have
thought Of it myself, earlier. We
must do it yet. Have a house full,
Dancing and music and refresh
ments. You will know how to have
a party here?"
he was almost pleading it now,
tacitly admitting his futility in
such matters. Gayle was impressed
anew by his kindness, and even
Bill showed a revival of interest.
1t shall be done, Mr.. Merri-
Held" Gayle assured him. Would
would next Tuesday be all right ?
That's hardly a week off. The in
vitations will take a little time.
And"
The sooner the better, my dear.
I am sure Jeremy will be pleased.
He ought to be very grateful to
you"
ITO you, sir, not us.''
She watched him leave the room
somewhat hurriedly, then she
turned at once to Bill.
"We've got to put that ahead of
the play. Bill. And work fast

HE hasn't got any set"
That's right. There hasn't been
any society at The Oaks in manu-
years. Of course, Bill, that's whv
the old gentleman wants us to do
It all. He's asking US to make a

around Jeremy. Don't you see ? It's

Sergeant GOble, Nome Radio Station Slated for Transfer

Sergeant Goble of the Nome Signal Corps station has received the following communication from Seattle from Major Wool verton, commanding the Alaska Communications System.
 Due to recent promotions to the grades of master, technical and staff sergeants, the Alaska Communication System is not on- ly over strength in the first three grades but the number of mas ter and technical sergeants is out of proportion to other grades. Therefore it will be necessary to transfer off the system some of our older non-commissioned of- ficers who will be utilized to fill key positions in new field ongan- izations. Orders are expected in the near future transferring about eighteen of our first grades. It is deeply regretted that all first three grades cannot be retained as all without exception are out standing non-commissioned offic- CTS, many of whom received all of their training on the system. However, the retention of so many first three graders is inn practicable and our personal de- sires cannot be considered when the question of national defense is involved. While no definite or ders have been received it is high ly probable that Goble will be among those transferred to the 309th Signal Aviation Company, Spokane, Washington.

Lying in flank of the sea rout- es from Yokohama and the far Pacific Islands to continental U. S., Alaska is much more likely to be attacked by an Oriental in vader than the U. S.s great Sea fortress at Hawaii" the article states. "If an enemy reduced the $4OO, 100000 defenses of Hawaii a man-sized job for any Navy he would still be 2,400 miles from San Francisco, would face serious obstacles to supply in an attack on the Pacific Coast. But a successful attack on Alaska would bring him closer to his goal. Sitka is only 800 miles from Seattle, and an enemy once posi- toned in the fjords and deep bays of the Inland Passage would be a tough customer for the U. s. Navy to dislodge.
 The article, which is illustrat- ed with the pictures of General Arnold and the Diomede Islands and with a map of the North Pacific with Alaska in red ink, concludes: From now on Alaska becomes a permanent station of U. s. defense"

SIX TIMES COST OF ALASKA BEING SPENT ON BASE

Today the Army and Navy are rushing to spend more than six times what Alaska cost the U. s. in 1867 in order to fortify the Territory, according to the lead article ''Fortifying Alaska" in the national defense section of a recent Time magazine.
 The article calls Alaska "one of the U. S.'s two most import ant outposts against invasion from the Pacific (the other: Haw- aii.)"
 The $45,OO0,OO0 already put up for Alaska defenses is only a starter, with Alaskans talking hopefully of the possibility of ten or 20 times as much," the article states.
 DiOmede Report
 Mentioned in the story are the reported Russian activity on Big Diomede Island, the construction of Russian bases north along the Siberian coast and a new Japan csc base at Paramosmiri Island south of Kamchatka and the re- cent visits to Alaska of Major General Henry H. Arnold, Chief of the Army Air Corps and of Lieut.. General John l.. Dewitt of the Fourth Army.

OTTAWA = The Canadian Air ministry announced that Lord Beaverbrook is seeking 100 Unit ed States airplane pilots to fly bombers to England. The pilots will also deliver planes from En glish factories to fighting stations.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.- Pac- fife flyer Clyde Pangborn said he is awaiting only State Depart. ment approval, which he expects. shortly before he starts American aviators to fly bombing planes across the Atlantic to England.
 Pangborn is working for the British government. He already is hiring American pilots at $15O week to fly British-made planes from the factories to the fields.
 The man who once flew from Japan to the United States, said that American pilots will be paid $1,000 per month for making two flights monthly from Newfound- land or Canada to England.
 Co-pilots will be paid $500 a month, radio operators $500 and mechanics $500 per month.
