No letter came to the stable, and after the first n the newspapers forgot the story entirely. Fourth and Sam never mentioned the subject in public, and their avoided it. Sam, as anyone could see and as everyone remarked, had suffered more keenly from this blunder of Nelson's than ever Fourth him- 8 She held her head just as high, if not a bit higher than be- fore, but no one was deceived Not even her obvious devotion to Peak Abbott, and his equally ob- vious devotion to her, seemed enough to make her forget what he: step-brother had done.

He shrugged. “Everybody knows you are unhappy about something, and everybody is talking about it. I know it, too, naturally enough, but I don't agree with the others as to the cause. I don't agree with the general opinion that it is Nel- son who is bothering you, and I don’'t agree with Fourth that it is money.” “Money?” The cowr Geepened in her cheeks. “Did Fourth say any- thing to you about money?” “It wasn't his fault. I dragged it out of him. I questioned him un- til I forced him to admit that he thought you were troubled about money. He told me about what Nelson had done, and about that foolish mortgage.” She shrugged, almost indiffer- ently. “So it was you who paid the mortgage interest.

Let's get back to the original subject. I can't believe that it is money that is making you unhappy because you must realize that your money troubles will be over as soon as Yyou marry me. I can’t believe it is Nelson, either.” “No?" She almost smiled. “Then what do you think it is?" “I don't know.” He frowned. “I am only afraid you are unhappy because you've said you'll marry me. If that is true, Sam, I hope you'll admit it, and we'll consider | the whole business off.” She looked at him. “Are you tyring to get rid of me?” “You know I'm not.” She nodded calmly. “Very well then, the subject is closed, for I have no intention of breaking my engagement to you—ever. If there is any breaking to be done, Peak, you'll have to do it. Do you want to?” “I don't want anything to see you happy.” She sighed. “I suppose there is no use in telling you that I'm per- except fectly happy?” “Not the slightest.” He shook | his head doggedly. “I know that there's something wrong with you, | even though you won't admit it, and I'll tell you what I'm going to do.” He shook a finger at her, sternly. “Somehow or other I'm go- ing to find out what the matter is, and when I do, I'm going to get it fixed!" Two weeks later Freddy Munson walked into Peak Abbott's office in the Express building. “Hello, Munson,” said Peak with a smile, holding out his hand. “I'm glad to see you. Are you coming back to work for us? We can use a good man.” “Hello, Abbott.” Freddy shook| hands briefly. “No, I'm on my way to Kansas City, and I just stopped off for an hour to say something to you.” | “Oh." Peak made a mental note that Freddy looked tired and shab- by. Probably he had been on an intensive spree in New York. Prob- | ably he wanted to borrow money. “Won't | Peak indicated a chair. | you sit down?” | “No, thanks, I'll stand if you don't mind.” Freddy shook his head and then added in explana- | tion: “Can’t seem to sit down for | any length of time these days. Ner- | vous. Smoking too many cigarettes, | prcbably.” | He took a paper package from his | pocket as he spoke, extracting a| cigarette, and lit 't. Peak smiled. “I | know. Get that way myself, some- | times. Well, what's on your mind, | Munson?” 4 Freddy scowled. Then he said| abrutly: “How's Sam?” “Sam Snerrill?” Surprised, Peak hesitated. “Why, she's fine—thank you.” Freddy's scowl disappeared and| he smiled grimly. “Didn't know I knew, her well enough to call her Sam, did you? Well, I do.” He thrust his hands in his pock- |ets and began to pace up and down the rug, rapidly puffing at his cig- arette. Peak watched him for a time and then said quietly: “Well?” Freddy laughed sharply and stopped in his tracks. “I'm a fool!” he said savagely. “I've always known I was a fool, Abbott, and this proves it. Coming here won't do any good. I'm going to get out.” Peak shrugged. “You've aroused my curiosity, I admit, but if you want to get out without satisfy- ing it, I'm afraid I can't stop you." “I'm darned if I will!” Freddy turned about. “I'm here now, and I'm going to speak my piece!” “Good. Let's hear it.” Freddy said: “Are you going to marry Sam Sherrill?” Peak stared. “I am. Why?” “Because,” replied Freddy walk- ing over to the desk and leaning across it, “if you do, Abbott, you'll be committing a crime—the worst sort of crime!” (Copyright, Freeman Lincoln) Peak and Freddy tomorrow for the first time meet in the open as rivals, The contest is close in their word duel. —-— WOTCHA S'POSE AILS OFFICER ASHLIR PENDICEETUS?

Democrats Issue Call for Convention to Be Held at Petersburg (Continued from Page One) the national election by a tremen- dous majority.” Need for Organization In order for Alaska to be in har- meny with the rest of the country in its swing to the Democratic party, it is essential that organization here be revi strengthened, and this is the first purpose of the calling of the Di- visional and Territorial conventions he added. The plan of orzaniza- tion is in keeping with Democratic traditions. First comes the local, or community, caucus at which every member of the party’s rank and file can be heard and from which delegates to the Divisional gathering are selected. Then from this representation will be selected the representation to the Territorial meeting. In this manner the rank and file of the party are the guid- ing voices in the naming of can- didates, of party officers and in writing the party platform. ‘This system will not do away with the necessity for primary elections, but it will insure deeper interest in them and ought to re- sult in the very best available can- didates being put forward to repre- sent the party mext year, Mr. Hel- lenthal said.
