But, drunk as he was, Henderson was too typically British to relish making himself a laughing stock in public. However, she appeared gbdurate, and presently with the ery of, “If you won't dance with me, then I'll dance by myself,” she sprang up onto one of the neighbor- ing tables. Immediately all eyes were fo- eussed upon her and somebody shouted, “Give us a dance.” Just for one moment she ap- peared to‘hesitate. Then, her chin stuck out and her eyes hard with determination, she commenced a furious stage dance. Her lithe body moved gracefully, her fect pardly seemed to hit the table ana when she paused for breath, the whole room broke into spontaneous lause. iy Ten minutes later, Len Hickson yyshed into the cabin where Ray was sitting on his bunk getting y for bed. still want to marry me I'm wil- ling—as soon as vou like.” He glanced at her interrogatively his hands shaking as he shoved them into his pockest. There was a moment of tense silence and in the pause she swept him a mocking if unstable curtsey. “Behold your future wife, my lord,” then, her eyes twinkling be hind her lashes, “Let's have a bot- tie of champagne on the strength of it?” But that, to him, was the last | straw. “No,” he almost shouted. “You've going now,” and he made towards the door. “But, we've got to talk things over,” she protested. “Not tonight.

She is enjoy- ing every moment of her visit here and is renewing old friendships. In speaking of her home in San Jose, Mrs. Purdy said: “When we left Juneau, we went direct to Costa Rica, which is a little republic west of Panama, and settled in San Jose. This charm-| ing little tropical city is the capital of Costa Rica and lies between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific] Ocean. Costa Rica is quite close to Nicaragua which has become f such vital interest to the United| States because of the proposed Nicaraguan Canal which will fol- | line between Costa Rica and Nica- ragua, to Lake Nicaragua ani thence, after a little dredging, to the Pacific Ocean. Engineers ace already surveying this part of the country for the contempated ca- nal. Trip Worth While “I left Costa Rica several months | age, and after visiting my mother. Mrs. Andrew Onderdonk, in New York, I came to Juneau where renewal of all my old friendships has been well worth the trip of several thousand miles that sepa:- ated me from them for the past five years. “While we, of Juneau, bave per- manent rain, the climate of San Jose is divided into the rainy sea- son and a dry season—the six months of rain is termed winter although there is no noticeable change in the temperatures and t'ie dry weather, which by the way, comes in January, February, March, April, May and June, is invariably calied summer. Sometimes, during the so-called summer season we have a little rain and when such a thing occurs the Costa Ricans usually say they are experiencing winter weather. ‘In the Costa Rican winter sea- son, the mornings are delightfully bright and sunshiny, but the after- noons are always rainy; and in tne sunshine but there is also an ex- ceptional amount of wind and dus®.

Mrs. Purdy will leave Juneau on the next trip suoth of the Princess Louise. [PIONEER KNUDSON HAS ARM BROKEN WHILE AT WORK Tom Knudson, pioneer wh& is building an extension to his wharf near D, B.
