Chapter 41 ° sERNIE’'S CONQUEST ERNIE'S hand touched Bishop's coat-sleeve again. “Now, your wife, of course, is quite different. I do admire her 50, You are a most fortunate man.” He moved a little, squaring his shoulders with a sort of weariness. “In the course'of my life, which is a faifly long one,” he said thoughtful- 1y, “I have made the interesting dis- covery that all people appear to be happy and fortunate until one knows them well, and then the cupboard door opens—perhaps only a trifie— ‘ and the skeletons peep out. No doubt you have noticed that.” “I have; indeed, I have,” Bernie She was rather super- stitious, and the mention of skele- tons made her shiver. *1 suppose none of us are really happy!” she murmured. Bishop's grave mouth twisted into @ amile. “You are an exceedingly observ- ant woman,” he said. “Bernje's eyelids fluttered, “I suppose to look at me,” she said with a pathetic note, “people would say that I am perfectly happy and contented.” She waited for a comment, but Bishop remained si- lent, and the long lashes swept up- wards again, revealing her starry eyes, “ButIam not. Life has been a big struggle.” “One can hardly imagine so, with a husband so famous,” Bishop said. Bernie sighed. “Poor Nicholas! \It's too sad. I really do not know I'what will become of him. Since his terrible accident he seems to have |changed so much. I am afraid we }shall never be able to live together again.” “You amaze me,” Bishop said. “It is quite true,” Bernie insisted tsorrowfully. “He left America with- lout a word to me. I was nearly be- ‘side myself.” “Naturally.” [ . “You are so understanding,” she [ murmured. There was a little silence, then | Bishop said, “Fortunately divorce bis comparatively easy in your coun- try.” “In my country, yes, but Nicholas iv an Englishman, and it rather com- plicates matters.” “Otherwise, of course, you:wonld ‘leek your freedom,” Bishop urged softly. The pretty outlines of Bernie's ‘mouth hardened. “It would need a lot of considera- tion,” she said. “There are so many complications, and I should hate people to think that I had deserted him just when he was in trouble.” * “Surely nobody could think that?” | “I am afraid so. Of course I mar- ried when I was terribly young— little more than a child.” ! “A eharming child, I am sure,” Bishop said courteously. *And, that | being so, don’t you think it will be a thousand pities: for you to femain tied to a man you no longer care Ifor?” ‘Why, do you want me to divorce him?” she asked slowly. * Bishop's weary eyes seemed to open'a little, and their usual sém- breness was lit by a sudden flash. “Supposing that is the reward which I hesitated to ask of youn,” he said. IOR. three days Georgie managed to ‘be almost happy; she had much confidence in Nicholas Boyd, now shé knew that he cared for her. She was still a little afraid to use the word “loved.” It was the fourth day after her meeting with Nicholas that.Clifford Asher called at the hotel.” Georgie ‘E~1 not seen him for some time, and she felt a little shy as she waited for him to come up to Evelyns sit- ting room. “I thought I was never going to | see you again,” she said.. His eyes scanned her face unsmil- | ingly. [" “J've. come to say goodbye” he “Goodbye!” Georgie's hrown eyes ?dlhtod “Why, where are you go- '{anyone here. “And you never told me,” she said reproachfully. “I did not think you would be in- /| terested.” There was a moment's silence, then he broke out, “Come with me, Georgie. It's quite a decent job, and'it would be such fun, you and I{ together, and I want you so fright-| | fully.” | “I—can’t.” | “Why not? You don't belong to You never had a real home. Nobody wants you as much as I do.” “I don’t love you.” “You've never given yoursell a chance to love me. Let's get mar- ried and take the risk.” Her sweet eyes met his troubled frankness. “But I love someone else—I told you so.” “You said he was married,” “So he is,” Georgie said helpless- ly; she felt a little cold sensation round her heart. Clifiord smiled; she seemed such a child. “Well then,” he said gently. “What's the use of waiting?” “Something may happen,” Georgie said. “And if it doesn't?” She shook her head, and he said impatiently, “Are you going to waste your whole life hoping that the im- possible may happen?” “That's not a very kind thing tv | say.” He looked away from her. “I sail on Friday week; if you change your mind you know where I am to be found.” eyes, and gecing them he urged again passicnately, “Oh Georgie, can't you?” “Clifiord dcar, I wish I could.” And in another moment he bad gone.

Nelly rushed in breathless and excited; she looked happier and more contented than Georgie had | ever seen her. “I can’t stay « minute,” she said. “I've got an afternoon off, for once, and I'm meeting a friend,” she gig gled. “I've got a mew young man,* she said proudly. “Quite nice he ¢ too.

For their benefit a resume of the en- tire situation 4s given here: 1. There has been allotted to the Alaska Road Commission $1,- ‘000000 1or roads and $96,000 fm'i | airfields. | 2. There has been allotted m‘ 000 for construction of school build-| ings. OKAY— BOYS — i | natives of Alaska have been sadly 'neglected’ been made for forest roads and | trails in Alaska. 4.

The Alaska Railroad is re-| ceiving $210,008 for a new round-| | house at Curry and for right-of- way maintenance and improve-| | ment. 6., Nine thousand dollars is set | asi le’ for use by the Bureau of »Eshcncs in repairing buildings on | the *Pribilof Islands and recondi- tioning a number of weirs. | 7. For the Lighthouse | there is provided the sum 1 000. The above represent the Service of $86,- projects Others Urged { There are, in addition, many others being urged before the Public Works Administration by Delegate Dimond Among them may be mentioned Survey's proposed various riv-| ers and harbors projects and public | buildings, particularly in Ketchi- |kan and Anchorage. The Delegate is also hoxdmg many conferences with various of- ficials with respect to a $315,000 program advanced by Dr. Paul W. Office of Indian Affairs. This program is designed to provide roads, water systems, sani- tary and other works in or near Indian villages. | Mr. Dimond has had several talks about this with John Collier, Com- | missioner of Indian Affairs, the result being that the latter has| approved the program in toto and| sent it to Harold L. Ickes, the| Public Works Administrator, with a strong recommendation that it/ be carried out. " If: this is done, the plan is to| employ Indians whenever possible| so that they may receive as large| as possible. Mr. Collier, Dr. Gor- themselves in complete agreement' on that point. Road at Hoonah Works would be carried out m Indian villages all over the Ter-’ ritory. It may ‘be mentioned in; passing that $35,000 has already | been made available for a road at Hoonah, the survey for which has already been made by the Buteau of Public Roads. There . are 87 separate projec'.s in the program, ranging from Bar-| row in the north to Alaska’s south- ern boundary. An Indian popula-| tion of 14,653 persons would derive direct tnd immediate benefit. In a lengthy letter which was| the medium for formal presenta- tion of the program to Commis- sioner Oolier, Delegate Dimond said in part: “1. - All of these projects are for, the welfare of the native popula-i tion of Alaska, covering- both the| Indians and the Eskimos, but not ineluding the white’ population. m! past winter was a terrible one for them, and the next winter un- fortunately gives promise of being | almost_equally severe, by reason of the genmeral ecoriomic depression affecting adversely the fishing in- dustry, upon which most of these people depend, as well as all other (Copyright, 1933, Doubleday Doran) Georgle auarrels with hep bess. industries.

It was said in this column last | week that no definitions of those {terms has been made, and it wes |very difficult to tell just how far the new 'ruling goes. That state- 'ment still holds good. [ No exact information is obtain- ‘\b][‘ from the Treasury. It has |been hinted here that the courts| {may possibly be called upon to| | establish definitions. | It may be said that several of precipitates amalgams might | situation clearer. Those companies, tact with Washington officialdom, are apparently in the dark no less than the isolated Alaska miner. If definitions commonly employed |in the mining industry were used, it would seem that about the only j8old not exportable would be that cbtained from smelting processes. However, the question is whether such definitions are to be made. | Sceure Werld Price It was learned today that the Canadian Cabinet can be expected to issue an order within the next ‘day or so allowing importation of gold ores, etc., mined in the United | States, which means American min- ers will be able to obtain the going | world price for their products. Of course if that ruling is made Am- erican producers can' ship .ore to Canada for smelting, seem to be discriminatory against | American ‘smelters and subject to | correction. | As the situation now stands, it {would appear that a dredge op- |erator who puts the mercury, sand |and gold through a retorting pro- cess to refine the gold to a more or less ‘pure state could not then |export it because it woutld ‘be a retorted amalgam. | But the individual or company |operating a quartz mine where the| ore was free milling could ship out the concentrates for export without question.
