looked at the clock. 1t seemed long time
ago that he'd stepped from the ship, hard and
bitter. Less than twelve hours, actually. but
in self-defense he'd crammed in lot.
He reached for the phone and dialed
number. His heart began to pound, and an
overwhelming eagerness, that hadn't been
possible earlier, came. This is Hr'. he ex-
claimed, ''the way felt it was going to be. =.
Oh, hello. It's Jim, JOAN"
"Oh . darling! There was long pause.
'I'm such fool, Jim, blubbering all over

and was afraid.

I've a million things to tell you"
He told her couple of hundred thousand
of them, then hung up. The consuming rest
lessness was draining gradually, but he took
a couple Of turns around the room, then got
into his Uniform.
She'd want to see him that way show
him off bit.
He'd put on the finishing touches, service
ribbons and all that, when the runner arrived.
The man was very low. II guess, Mr.. Alden,
this is your unlucky day." That sure sounds
natural. Jim thought. ''Mr. Alden, you only
hit a three spot, and it takes five spot to
get your money back"
Jim grinned. Mister" he said, neither
the Chinaman nor you will understand -
but today hit ten spot" The End

He was pacing the room now, the restless
ness with him again. He changed his clothing,
muttering something about clothes making
the man. The trousers were loose at the waist,
the coat tight across the shoulders. He ran
his hand over his face. II could stand shave

Jim met the Judge - active long after
most men had retired - coming from the
barber shop. well. :. Jim!" he exclaimed.
The sight of you warns my old heart.
Bench and bar are proud of you. my boy"
The sight of you reminds me that if
take care of myself should have many of
my best years ahead of me-" Jim answered.
Il hope it won't be too long before you're
in my court wrangling with your fellow law
yers. noting exceptions and taking appeals"
"A hell of lot of good it does to take an
appeal from your ruling, Your Honor Jim
answered. The High Court sustains you"
He went into the shop and seated himself
in the first chair The usual haircut Vic,"
he said. "or have you forgotten?"
Not me, Jm." the barber said.
"A shave and two years gossip. Start in
with baseball. What kind of club have we got?
Yes. and suppose gambling and similar
forms of vice have been ruthlessly suppressed
as lsual?''
VIC didn't miss the sarcasm. "A closed
town as usual" he agreed.
Jim called the porter. "A shine, George.
Might as we'll get off to clean start" Jim
settled back lazily in the chair.
1t was nearly eleven o'clock when he left
the barber shop - too soon for lunch. He
fought down the urge to call Joan, and
dropped into Bob's again. A man was play

He went back to the Office - an old habit

Whether he telephoned first, or called, he'd
have to hear it, And for months he'd w0nted
to hear it. 1t had been something he'd dreamed
about, sustaining him when the jungle badg-

taken stock of himself on the long voyage

HI WAS glad no one was on hand to greet
him. As soon as the routine OF landing was
comnleted. he took cab for the Office. He
had given up his fiat and stored his things.
The Office was the nearest thing to home.

Bond Purchases Now Total S115,948-Booths Be
 Open Tonight

As the first week of the Fourth War Loan Drive neared it's close officials today counted up $46, ,294 worth of Series E bonds sold, still quite a bit short of the $140.00O worth of Series E bonds that must be bought during the campaign, but good start at that. So far the grand total for all types of bonds stands at the $ll5,94S mark.
 Tonight the Newsboys and the AL aska Territorial Guard will be in the bond booths. Capt Henry Harmon has issued orders for turnout of all Guardsmen and warns them to wear their parkas.
 Tomorrow night, the Juneau Fire men and the Women of the Moose will be in charge of booths.
 While Juneau was getting off to a slow start, reports from other cities indicated that other Alaskan com munities were well on the way to passing their quotas in the first week of the drive.
 At one of the booths last night, a man and woman walked up and planked down two heavy cigar boxes, told the bond salesman: Count the cash and give us war bond, please
 The cashier opened the boxes and began to count. There were 3,750 pennies that had been saved by the couple, so a $50 war bond was issued to MT. and Mrs. Herbert Fleek of Douglas for their baby, Wayne.

TRUCK BUSTERS" FEATURE TONIGHT
 AT 20TH CENTURY

From Hedda Gabler to Eadie Watkins is a long leap but it is just such radical adjustments that a girl must make if she would be a movie star-that was what pretty blonde Virginia Christine learned shortly after she had signed term contract with Warner Bros.
 Virginia was given the screen test that resulted in her getting the contract because she had scored a great success in a little theatre production of Ibsen's "Hedda Cab Ter, in which she played the title role.
 She was cast as Eadie Watkins. And who is Eadie Watkins? About as far cry from the moody Hedda Gabler as can be imagined Eadie is waitress in a cheap roadside restaurant catering manly to truck drivers and she becomes involved, heroieally and strenuously, in an exciting saga of gangsterdom. Ac- tion is the keynote of the picture and Virginia got plenty of it.
 The picture is Warner Bros Truck Busters" showing at the 20th Century tonight, with Vir- ginia sharing the leads with Rich ard Travis, Charles Lang and Ruth Ford.

"CHATTERB0x" ON TOMORROW,
 CAPITOL SHOW

One of the happiest combines that has ever come out of Holly wood is the co-starring team of Joe E. Brown and Judy Canova, whose latest opus for Republic, "Chatterbox," opens tomorrow at the Capitol Theatre.
 Hilariously funny when appearing singly, they are veritable earth quake of merriment as a co-starr- ing attraction, and "Chatterbox," :" based on an .sgreeably wacky pre- mise, is an ideal vehicle for their talents.
 With a dude ranch background, the story takes Joe and Judy through a series of merry adven- lures and misadventures which are guaranteed to make any onlooker howl with mirth. Joe is a radio cowboy who has never been on a horse. Judy is a slavey on the dude ranch which is the scene of Joe's introduction to the working press of Hollywood as picture star.
 This feature is sponsored by the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department.
 Showing for the last time to- night is the thrilling story of Johnny Come Lately" starring James Cagney. An informative March of Time production is also on as an added attraction.
