Mary Lee Council,

Secretary to the Delegate Hearings have been held be- fore the Senate Subcommittee on Appropriations on the Interior Department Appropriation bill for the fiscal year, l942, Delegate Dimond appeared before the Com mittee to urge additional appro- priations for Alaska.
 First, he asked for an increase in the sum of $50,000 for new road construction in the Terri tory, an amount which had been approved by the Bureau of the Budge but which was omitted from the bill bp the House Ap- propriations Committee upon the ground that the specific place in which the money was to be ex- pended had not been definitely stated. The Delegate told the Committee that there was an i'm mediate and pressing need for the building of new roads in AL aska this summer which would take ten times the amount involv ed, and the only difficulty was to determine which of a number of places had the greatest need for immediate construction. An at tempt will be made to secure deficiency appropriation for new road construction needed in the vicinity of the Army and Navy air bases now being built.

Expert in Arms
Identifies Pellets

The nurse mentioned that the
vicious dog chained in the rear
had been silent throughout the
evening. The officer believed
that unsocial brute would have
taken the scent of the in
truding stranger and voiced his
disapproval. The fact that this
did not occur seemed obvious to
him--the killer was an intruder.

Fear BaniShed by
Sound of Auto

The wave OF fear that over
whelmed her gradually feeeded
when she heard the familiar,
welcome sound of Mrs. Voor-

graveled driveway alongside the
house. Now Toy whined with
welcome for his mistress. With
a tremulous sigh of relief the
pretty nurse turned to a deep,

Mari nodded in agreement,

Gunsn,ith Tells
Of Gun Purchaser

"Sure, I know that gun; /

man about a week ago with a
box OF Ajax shells for $3.50.
Sure, I remember him."
In Lieutenant Mars office
the gunsmith took two days to
unearth the likeness of Thomas
Joy, a professional forger.
Armed with the photograph
the two detectives started out
on an intimate tour of rooming
houses and hotels.
On October / word came that
Thomas Joy was in a hotel in
Georgia street. The detectives
showed the photo of Joy to the
girl on duty at the desk.
THAT looks like one OF our
guests" she nodded. I'VE know
him as George Walsh, third
floor, room $50.
In response to a knock on the
door they heard window
scrape. simultaneously they
put their shoulders to the door
and it crashed inward. A flut-
tering curtain at the window
told a graphic story. Romero
got to the window first and
looked down, then up. The
fugitive, who had climbed the
fire escape. stood on the edge
of the roof, a floor above him,
and the detective began shout
of warning that died in his
throat as the man hurtled past
him to the pavement below.
The officers descended TO the
courtyard. Joy lay battered
and still on the pavement-but
alive. An ambulance rushed
him to the hospital where he
was given no chance to survive.
But day by day he improved
until the time eventually came
when he was well enough to
stand trial for his great crime.

an iron clad case. The slayer
pleaded guilty and received a
penitentiary sentence of 20
years.

CHAPTER "

Andy came late to the office the next morning. "Ive been to MT. Henson's, l hadn't heard that he was dead, They don't know much about the will though understand my father made one four months ago. A new one"
 Carols hands were cold. She dreaded for him to see that will. He was bound to resent her be- lng named in 1t, Particularly the part she was to play.
 The more delay in locating t., Che better for her. It would give her time to think.
 "YeS, he made one" she ad- Fnited, Maybe It's in the bank box"
 "No. It was opened yesterday U'he will wasn't there.'
 Relief swept over her. It was only Q temporary respite. Of rourse they'd find 1t in few days and then Andy would know the worst,
 Could 1t be with his personal papers2" Andy asked.
 "1 doubt 1t. go through them pretty regular, But I'll get them from the vault and we'll sec"
 She went for them at once. The vault was smal room built in- 10 the store on the fourth floor, Its thick steel door opened with combination which Carol knew, Her deft fingers spun the dial, the lock clicked and she entered,
 She glanced around. Confidential tnformatlon for the management lined the shelves cirelLng the wall. On one side, letter files and mis- cellaneouS papers, On the other, reeeipted bills and books filled with Inventory records stacked al- most to the ceiling, Carol smiled when sch saw those books. They began in 1891 md went all the way to l94l, Each year Mr. Dear- born referred to the one of the preceding year to compare the figures. He rarely needed any of the others. But he liked to keep them. It pleased him to be able 10 20 back and see what stock he carried in such and such Q year -- after the World War I or on their 26th Anniversary.
 The inventory records reminded Carol of the shelf of old City dl- rectorieS In her office. They didn't go. back to 1891 but she had Q dozen years, with oil of them eX- cept the current year entirely worthless. MT, Dearborn had wanted her to save them. As long AS she had been with the store no one had ever used old ones.
 She looked now at the safe in one end Of the vault. Mr. Dear born might have put the will there. She went to 1t and peered inside. The interior was bare of anything but black money boxes and bags Of change. Again she
