Mail Order House
 Closes Alaskan Offices

Alaska Guides Camps
 Popular With Sportsmen

The Karluk Lake camp of the Alaska Guides, under the direc- tion of Charles Madsen is indeed a very popular place for hunters of that denizen of Kodiak Island the carnivorous, mammoth Kodiak brown bear.
 Nj. w. Loving, of Chicago. and c. D. Williamson of Yuba City, Calif., president and vice-presl- dent respectively of the Amer. Concrete Pipe Assoc, arrived here on the Yukon last Sunday and stepped into a Star Airway plane waiting to fly them over to the hunting lodge, They will re- main there for two weeks and will no doubt bring their bag limit of two brownies each ont with them.
 When Pilot Flayhart brought them safely to the lakeSnnday, he picked up Col. Wm. Frazer, com manding officer of Fort Greedy here, who had been spending a few days of rest, hunting old man bear on his grounds and shooting a beautiful speciman which measured just about g feet in length. While at Karluk Lake, the colonel visited both the mainland and island camps of the Alaska Guides, and eX- pressed deep satisfaction, with his first hunting trip in Alaska.

U. s. Army Band s Gives City Concert

The first military band con cert ever to be held in Kodiak drew a crowd of several hundred citizens last Sunday afternoon, when Coast Artillery musicians from Ft Greedy played half hour concert at the Bank corner.
 The bandsman, who hail from the city of New Ulm, Minnesota, with two of their number from Minneapolis, piled out of their trucks and assembled for the con- cert the moment an early after noon shower blew over.
 It had been feared that the program would be rained out, but the Coast Artillery boys took advantage of the break in the clouds to unlimber their instru- ments.
 Military Police had a busy time keeping back the crowd, so that traffic could continue through the streets. Cameras both snapshot and movie models clicked and whirred from all sides.
 Director of the Minnesota musicians is Warrant Officer Raymond J. Laway. The event was brought to Kodiak at the instigation of Ray Martin of the Kodiak Rotary Club.
 The band played marches! polkas, and "The Stars snd Stripes Forever" which was re- quested from the crowd.
 At the close, when the band struck up the National Anthem soldiers, sailors, and marines snapped to attention, saluting while civilians stood Dareheadec in honor to the song that makes us all whether in the Territory of Alaska or the AS States them selves, "one nation, indivisible with liberty and justice for all"
 We hope these band concerts will be frequent occurrence = regular part of the cultural life of our city.

 BY MARGUERITE GAHAGAN ss

I had gone very far Herbert caught up with me.
 He'd cut across the tennis court and began explaining that Margie Dixon was just overexcited and hadn't meant what she'd said. One thing led to another and when he tried to kiss me I became furious. I told him was glad she had said what she did because finally I un- derstood what kind of 8 man he was, trying to make two women miserable and then enjoying their Ilnhappiness. I said I never wanted to see him again, and he just con- tinued to laugh and repeat that I was being silly and why wouldn't l kiss him good night.
 T hit him then," she said in a low voice. And then I started running. He didn't follow me, though, and finally sat down on the grass and stayed there until I had quieted down and stopped cry- ing. Then I went home. That's all there was to 1t, but after what hap pened to him who would believe me?"
 Who would believe her, I wonder ed. Just because I was a senti- mental fool and would take my oath that she was telling the truth didn't think those hard-eyed police would feel the same.

 She smiled a little. You're not like school teacher. You're pretty and young enough to understand"
 knew then that even if she told me she had shot Herbert Cord I'd still be on her side. She must have felt that, for she smiled again and said, "Oh, I didn't shoot him. I've never shot gun in my life. I was angry at him, hurt and sick at hav- ing been made to look such a fool. I guess I've grown up these last few days because now realize that his coming back here with his flancee shouldn't have made such differ ence to me. Seeing her, wonder why he ever paid any attention to me, and after seeing them together I wonder how I could ever care for him." she admitted candidly.
 But if you had lived here sum- mer after summer with never a chance to get about with the sum- mer visitors; never have a boy come back second time because he was afraid of your aunt, you would know how much it meant to be with a man like Herbert Cord. He was only amused at Aunt Millie, and he made me laugh and he took me dancing. He-he never made love to me but once or twice, but by talk ing me around-oh, picnics and sail ing-he made the summers wonder full.
 And then this summer 1t was all changed. My pride was hurt, and Aunt Millie made 1t worse by point ing out what fool I'd made of myself.' She twisted her hands and looked so miserable that I patted her cheek.
 Tt was only because she was so heartsick for you herself" I said.
 She was always good to me. My parents died when I was little and Aunt Millie did everything for me. But this summer we seemed at swords points so often-and now"
 She looked out the window at the tossing green branches of the trees and the gray water, and continued, After that scene at the inn start ed home.

SERIAL STORY

THE STORY: Maudie O'ConnOr, vaCatiOning at Paradise Lake with her school teacher daughter, Mary, has . lot of theories about the murder of handsome, sophisticated Herbert Cord, whose body they discovered. doubts that the inc quests implication of gangster Stush Veretti explains the second Paradise murder - that of Miss AIillie Morris. Involved in a roc mantle triangle were Jeanie MOr- Sis, pretty niece of straight-laced Miss Millie, Cord, and the girl he brought to Paradise this year, Margie Dixon. Dennis Flynn, old flame of Mary's and reporter on the case, local editor Tod Palmer who loves Jeanie, elderly inn keeper Chris Gordon, and other old residents and newcomers to Paradise are baffled by the mys- terles, as are the state police.
 JEANNE MORRIS
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-10-16
CHAPTER x

The next day found Maudie too exhausted from the previous nights excitement to stir out of bed. It was 6 good day to stay there any way, gray and blowy with little whitecaps making our peaceful lake cold and angry looking.
 In the afternoon I decided to go out. A farm girl, who came in a couple of times a week to clean, would take care of Maudie and felt that some of that fresh breeze would get my own mind of the second crime.
 I really had no intention of go- ing to the Morris home, but once headed in that direction began to think of Jeanie, her world com- pletely torn to pieces. Since Maudie and I had been rather prominent In both affairs, it seemed only right that I should stop in and sec her.
 The housekeeper opened the door. I thought that young Tod Palmer's description, old sourpuss, fitted her. But she was civil and showed me Into Q Victorian style parlor, hideous with marble-topped tables and un- comfortable chairs--a cheerful place for a girl to entertain her best beau, [ decided.
 Jeanie came in, looking like a mid Victorian wraith herself, in plain black crepe, and her white face framed in brown hair. I must have been the first one at the house after the police and the doctor, and she seemed childishly grateful for my presence. We said the usual trite, polite things and then I off, fered her a cigaret. She shook her head and started to explain that she couldn't smoke there, but I handed her one and held the macth.
 Things have changed now" l pointed out, land you'd better try to relax little" She shivered and her lips trembled with the realiza- ton that no one would again tell her she must not do this or that. "Therell be hard days ahead" l re- minded her, "and you mustn't break down. Even an older person would find 1t difficult to bear up under two guch-"
 It was hard to bring out the word murder, but she supplied 1t. "Yes,' she said, two murders. I--I sup- pose they'll ask me questions again .Eoo, won't they? You know they aren't satisfied with my answers for the other time" I knew she was referring to the alibI Tod Palmer had given her, but was afraid to say too much.
 Police are always like that" I told her without too much convic- ton.
 She turned to me and there were tears in her eyes. "Tod wanted to help me and he did. I'll never for get that. But-but well, I wasn't with him"
 T wouldn't admit that to many people" I said, trying to choke down my feeling of fright.
 T won't. But If don't talk, I think I'll just crack up inside" She put her hands to her face and then Ieemed to regain her composure. T like you. I have to have someone to trust"
