"What're you talking about?" ask

"I know he's alive, Charlie," said
Katherine quietly.
Charlie grabbed her by the wrist.
"Will you shut your mouth?"
"You cant keep me quiet! What's

He out-talked and out-argued her.

He took her to her landlady's and

"Stop talking like that," Kather

"Jos, those men and women live

about makes him want to cry and

his turn now. Let them know what
it is to be lynched!"
"Don't you think that they do

wives, of their children, of them

you imagine what Charlie and Tom
went through? They love you, Joe,

But you're alive we can still be
together, and be happy. Let me go
with you to the Judge "
"Sure, Katherine, well start all
over after the hanging.''
She looked at him for a moment,
then turned miserably towards the
door.
"Dont go. Katherine. Let's sit
down and have some fun. Stop
thinking about them. Why dont

couldn't marry you now, Joe. I
couldn't marry a dead man."
"I'll always love you, Joe. I can't
do anything about that. Maybe this
is crazy, but I cant help thinking
we'd all be better off if you hadn't
escaped from that Jail!"
"Okay, so that's what you cant

and X should be out celebrating.
And that's what Tm going to do.

He grabbed his hat and coat, and

: ' Demarcation Point is the northern

'northernmost settlement - '
Frank Daugherty, bureau superin
tendent at Barrow,-said that 800 Es
kimos in ;: the remote fcceastal region
were affected by the food shortage. A
few isolated cases of actual distress
were reported, among them Tom Mar
gin, white trader of Cape Halkett, 100
miles east of Barrow.- -
Mr. Daugherty blamed the shortage
on wolves which, he said, have slaugh
tered whole herds of reindeer and cari
bou. In addition Ice has' made seal
i hunting unusually difficult this year.
1 He sent a message stating that
wolves killed 4,000 reindeer the past
1 winter. He said some herders lost
1 100 deers a day between Barrow and

Barrow dispatches said Mr. Daugh
erty was the first federal or territorial
official to visit Demarcation Point since
officers of theCoast Guard ship Bear
'set up a monument there many years
ago.
Heretofore, a bureau regulation has
required non-owners to obtain permits
from the reindeer supervisors before
killing a reindeer.
Airplane Used to Fight
Citrus Fruit Parasites
Berkeley, Calif. Aviation consti
tutes America's first line of defense
not only against armed foes but against
plagues and pests, science has learned.
On one of its recent trips to Hawaii
and the Philippines, the China Clipper
carried as part of Its cargo from 50 to
500 fruit flies for colonization In the
Pacific Islands.
Curtis P. Clausen, director of the in
troduction Into the United States of
foreign parasites, of the federal bureau
of entymology and plant quarantine,
was the sponsor of this new effort.
Clausen recalls as one of the out
standing achievements of bis 10 years
of service with the government enty
mology bureau the eradication of the
citrus black fly from Cuba. The task
was completed In three years but still
Is of great Importance to the citrus
Industry of the country.
In search for a parasite that would
destroy the black citrus fly without In
troducing something worse Into the
United States, Clausen carried his re
search into tropical Asia, the origin
of the pest.
The government workers found tiny
wasps that appeared immune to the
fly attack. These were Introduced Into
the Infested areas of Cuba and within
six months, according to Clausen, the
major portion of the orchards bad been
cleaned out before the flies had had a
chance to reach the American snores.
