 Man of the Year

 In addition to the boys on the water and fire detail, high on the list of candidates for man of the year is Wrangelfs Senior Senator James Nolan. If, for no other sea- son, the Senator is entitled to a vote or two from the judges for having carried a copy of the Con stitution of the United States to the Constitutional Convention at Fairbanks and reminding some of the delegates from time to time of it's merits.
 Meanwhile, despite the blare of self-pumped horns from some sec i tions of the convention hall the Senator reports that there are five proposals before the constitution writers which may well be incor- porated in the document
 Proposal No. l, fixes the voting age at 19; provides for elections, creation of election districts, etc Proposal No. ? sets up a court sys- tenn. Proposal No. provides for initiative and referendum. Propos- al No. 4, known to the press as the "hot potato" establishes the cap ital at Juneau but makes provision for an election to determine later where it is going to be. Proposal No. } sets up state legislature in endless pages of mimeograph copy which we haven't found time to read.
 However, at 7:30 this evening in the Fire Hall Senator Nolan.

delegate to the convention, will discuss these and other proposals at a public meeting sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce where you can get information galore and ask all about the proposed state constitution and what the delegates have been doing at $35 a day. Op- portunity awaits tonight.

and inquired what he owed.
While the police officer wrapped the parcel
he fidgeted like any other man in hurry
MacFall had just given the man his parcel
with growing sense Of anticlimax when a
sudden Mortified cry came from the inner room:
"A doctor! Get doctor!"
AS MIR. MEvACissY came scuttling out with
what hair he possessed standing on end. the
man with the platter turned in the doorway.

The doctor s examination had professional

only for an instant. When the pronouncement
came, he was ready for it:
This man is seriously Ill. There is one
chance in thousand of saving his life. Help
me to get him into my car and ring up St.
Bede's Hospital. Extension g. and warn them

Poor Mevagissy was so appalled, by the dis
aster which had overtaken not only his client
but his deal that he was ready to fall for the
trick completely. But the second assistant
the one with the brains. pointed out in a
startled whisper that the Burma ruby. the
star of the collection. was still clutched in the
sick mans hand. Nothing would open the
clenched fingers, and the doctor became
angry.

He went off even more pleased with himself
than usual and when he returned to the sta
ton he did not report the matter.

MacFall knew perfectly well what he was
doing. Moreover. the omission was the out

MAcFALL arrived at Mevagissy's shop on
the appointed day soon after the shutters were
down. He had worked out plan whereby he
would spend the morning behind the silver
counter as temporary assistant so that he
could serve the doctor when he arrived

Mevagissy was not particularly interested in
the matter any more. A new interest was
absorbing him. He told MacFall about ii hur-

MacFall gathered that the distinguished
visitor was foreigner, a senior member of the
suite of celebrated Indian prince. who had
arrived in London in blaze of publicity
earlier in the week.
Only last night Mevagissy had received
telephone message saying that royal repre-
sentative would call to see his choicer stones
on the stroke of ten in the morning.
MacFall. stationed behind the silver counter
in the outer room. could just see through the
small doorway into the inner chamber, which
was so protected it was virtually large safe.
This room, Mr.. Mevagissy told him. housed
one of the most interesting small collections Of
gems in London.
PUNcruAILY at ten. the representative arrived
and was ushered into the inner room by Mr..
Mevagissy and his two bona fde assistants.
All MacFall saw of him was turban above
very dark neck.
For the rest of the morning deep and rev.

visitor was both knowledgeable and thorough
and the whole of the more valuable part Of
MIR. Mevagissy's stock was considered.
No one else who mattered came into the
shop. The few customers were met at the door

assistant before he rushed back to reioin the
