O SERIAL STORY
BY TOM HoRNER

THE STORY: Ted Andrews and Kay Donovan had shared a lot of excitement together as sales manager and owner, respectively, of WOndrOsoap, an invention of Rays late fathers that had turned out to be, not a cleaner at all, but a powerful explosive. With Kay's factory leased to the government for the duration of the emergency, she and Ted, Joe Benton, chemist, Mary Marshall, her secretary, and Mike Flynn, lawyer, take a vacation. The last night at the resort Ted sees Kay kiss Joe, assumes they are in love. Tn reality, Joe has just told Kay that he and Mary Marshall plan to marry. Ted assumes that his interest in Kay Is unreturned- Kay, the girl he had met over want ads on 8 park bench and learned to love in the weeks they worked together.

 The telephone tangled.
 Both grabbed for 1t. Make took the call. It wasn't Ted. It was Mary.
 we're postponing the wed- ding" she said. "Joe Is taking a leave of absence until you locate Ted. We'll arrive on the after noon plane"
 There were no clews. Ted had simply dropped out of sight. The telegrapher at Lake Alivara had sold his 8 ticket to Chicago, but there the trail ended. Mike hired private detectives, even notified the police, but Ted could not be found,
 To Kay, the days and nights were torture. She recalled every thing Ted had said. That kiss at the plant, when Wondrosoap was their big dream.
 She couldn't even go back to the plant to recapture any mem- ories. A high steel fence sur- rounded the factory now; soldiers guarded the gate. She didn't have a single can of Wondrosoap. All she had was a shining doorknob.
 Joe and Mary tried to find new interests for her to help her for- get Ted and failed utterly. Kay pretened to enjoy the parties and dinners they arranged, but the foursome was not the same with out Ted. All the fun was gone.
 Then the telegram came.
 It was brief, to the point: "Saw your ad in hometown paper. Am okay. Uncle Sam's Army turned me down. Bum ticker. Maybe Canada can use me-" It was signed "Ted."
 He might at least have added Love- Flynn grumbled. would mt have cost him much"
 "If he goes to Canada - where will he cross the border?" Kay asked.
 Any place in 6 couple of thou. sand miles," Flynn snorted. "But he'll probably go either to Detroit or Niagara Falls. Joe, you and Mary try Detroit. Kay, we'll take the plane to Buffalo"
 
 The big airliner seemed to crawl through the air. Rays thought raced ahead. What If they were too late? What If Ted had already enlisted? She would walt, she knew, always. What if-?
 The stewardess tapped her shoulder. "Fasten your safety belt, please, we're landing"
 Mike hurried the remaining miles to Nigara, installed Kay in a hotel.
 "Well check in at the recruiting office first. Ask them to notify all other offices. Don't fret, Katie, we'll find the boy"
 She made Mike go alone. Some thing - @ hunch, perhaps - kept her from going with him. She walked from the hotel to the Falls, Even Niagara's magnificence left her unmoved.

C0H0E cow ENJOYING
 DIET OF FISH

Taku River has reached a new low and so has Mukluk-the- Cow, according to the story told today | by Mary Joyce, mistress of Taku Lodge, who came to Juneau on her launch, the Mary J. 1 Mukluk- -the-Cow is grand daughter of Myra, also a COW, who has resided in virtual retirement in a Douglas pasture since she drank several quarts of fuel oil some years ago. Mukluk-the-Cow has other close relatives in her mother, Moccasin, and her daugh- ter, Meherin-named for you-know- whom.
 Anyway, with the sandy river bed pushing through the nipples at many points, thanks to the T long summer drought, and with the water only two feet deep in front of Taku Lodge, Mukluk-the- Cow has been having a whale of good time frolicking with Miss Joyces dogs on the beach.
 But Mukluk-the-Cow, no bath ing beauty, has a method in her madness: the salmon are running and she is running after them, dragging them out on the beach and devouring them. In a phrase, Mukluk- -the- Cow is salmon-slappy.
 Miss Joyce admits that Mukluk- the-Cow has received good amount of corporal punishment as a result, but still insists on eating the fish. As any duck hunter knows, fish-fed ducks aren't as tasty as those which have feasted in the fields-and this, sadly enough, also applies to the milk of cohoe crazy bovines.
 But though the water supply is low and the milk supply is even lower, the spirits of Mukluk- the Cow are high. She doesn't have to filch smoked salmon from the dogs now.

San Diego and Sacramento arc practically eliminated in the Pacific Coast Leagues pennant race, the Padres losing the third straight game to the Hollywood Stars last night and the Oakland Acorns de- feating the Solons in close game, winning in the ninth inning.
 Seattle won the opener last night from Los Angeles in the ninth in- ming with one run leaving the final score to 0. The scoreless night cap was called at the end of the eighth inning at midnight, the time limit.

BERKELEY, Cal. - When 1941 prospects in the Pacific Coast con- ference are mentioned, the first team I think of is Oregon. Cali fornia managed to beat them last year, but they had a lots better team than others who beat us They're a big, rough, tough bunch of boys.
 I hear that Coach Tex Oliver UT there switched to the T formation late last season. so I guess that's what we'll be bucking.
 Of course I don't mean to

 the two teams should rate

 tough.
