WITH the approbation of her par
ents, Barbara Holden had become
engaged to Benjamin Littlefield. That
ought to have settled It; there should
have been nothing further except the
wedding bells, the old shoes and the
rice But then, on the other hand,
had there not been there would have
been no story. Barbara and Ben were
Just two wholesome, rather common
place, young people well established
In their own social world.
Then Canfield Rogers cast his eye
upon Barbara and saw that she was
fair. Then he Investigated her father’s
financial stunding and saw that it was
fairer still Then he began to hunt for
points against Ben and stumbled
across something which afforded him
ghoulish glee.
Rogers and Ben had been In the
same class at college and among their
classmates had been a certain Hurry
Butterworth who had been appointed
since his graduation United States
consul at Porto Gulfo, a little banana
. port on the Central American const.
Ben and Harry had been not only
classmates but friends, belonged to
the same fraternity, etc.
The little republic in which Porto
Gulfo was situated was lively all out
of proportion to Its size, nnd Harry
wrote Ben such graphic accounts of
the tropical scenery and of his own
weird experiences that Ben, having
nothing to do, took ship nnd went
down to visit his old college chum.
Having spent some time there, he
came back nnd, a year later, fell in
love with Barbara Holden.
It was after Rogers had gazed upon
Barbara and upon her father’s finan
cial record and had become filled with
a longing to possess them both that he
met the former consul at Porto Gulfo,
returned home and awaiting appoint- i
ment to a more important post.
“Hullo, Butterworth,” said Rogers.
"Well, how is the rising young diplo
mat? Got an embassy yet?”
“Why, It’s Rogers, Isn’t it?” replied
Harry. “Ever see any of the old boys
now? Good old Ben Littlefield comes
from your part of the country. Do
you see much of him? I haven’t seen
him since he paid me a visit at Porto
Gulfo. For the last year he has writ
ten only at rare Intervals. When you
see him ask him about his wife. Ask
him If he has ever heard of her since
they parted at Gulfo? Ha! ha! That’s
a good story. I’ll tell you how It was.
You see—” Just then a telegram was
handed to Butterworth. “Great Scott!”
he cried as he read it, “I must try and
catch the next train for Washington, j
Ask Ben to tell you the story of his j
dusky bride—Inez Castellon. Ta, ta!” j
Within a few days Rogers rang Bar
bara’s front door bell at an hour when
he was certain he would find the lov
ers together. They received him
politely, though not enthusiastically. !
He was beaming, jolly, full of Jokes, j
“Oh, by the way,” said he at length,
“I have Just got back from New York.
Met Hnrry Butterworth at the club.
He talked a lot about you. Ben. Told
me to be sure and ask you If you had
heard from your wife, Inez Castellon
that was, since you parted from her at
Porto Gulfo. Seemed quite anxious
about It”
Barbara sat pale, rigid—her eyes
wide and anguished. Ben looked con
fused at first and then said with a
laugh: "Oh, that? It’s quite a story.”
"Never mind now, old top," replied
Rogers. "Some other time. I've deliv
ered my message and must toddle.”
As the door closed behind him, Ben
turned and looked at Barbara. For
the first time he realized the serious
ness of the situation. “Barbara,” said
he, "what Is the matter? You surely
don’t believe—”
“I don’t know what to believe—what
to think,” she faltered. And then with
"Oh. Ben 1 Oh, Ben 1” she burst into
tears and rushed from the room.
Ben tried to tell himself that Bar
bara was unreasonable. But then was
she—very? He must furnish an ex
planation. that was clear. He went
and worked the long-distance tele
phone, at last getting what he wanted.
Then he wrote a note to Barbara say
ing that he would not see her again
until he had a full and aJttiafactonr

I CANADA COOPERATE
ON ALASKA HIGHWAY
Troy Carmichael, eminent
Seattle engineer, is advocating
the suggestion that the United
States and Canada cooperate in
the construction of the Paoifie
Yukon-Alaska Highway. In a
recent article in the Seattle
Journal of Commerce he said:
“The U. S. Government is con
templating public works as a
relief measure to the extent of
at least two billion dollars.
Three quarters of one per cent
of this sum would build a
“bridge” across Canada to the
territory of Alaska, the great
est frontier on the North Amer
ican continent. Panics and de
pressions in the past have been
overcome by a marked surge of
the restless population into
frontier sections. Alaska of
fers us that opportunity.
ii a iitcip ui ^vici&ivci vveit; lain
on a map of the United States,
it would cover the cities of Mi
ami, Florida, Los Angeles, Cal
ifornia, as well as St. Paul and
Minneapolis. Alaska is larger
in extent than all af the United
States lying east of the Mississ
ippi river. Due to its inaccess
ibility, this vast territory has a
population of only 30,000 peo
ple.
All it lacks is twelve hun
dred miles of highway. Alaska
will never be settled, never
take its rightful place among
the rich commonwealths of the
continent by printed brochures.
But Alaska will sell itself to the
tourist—the potential settler—
as soon as that ambitious indi
vidual is provided a means of
easy access to the territory.
Five years after the road is op
ened there will be more hot
dog stands and filling stations
in Alaska than there are peo
ple now.
This proposition of construct
ing a highway on foreign soil
will require an agreement or
treaty with both British Colum
bia and Canada. It Premier
Bennett and President Roose
velt would sit down and talk as
explanation to offer wnicn wouia oe
within two or three days.
On the evening of the day specified
Ben called at Barbara’s home. With
his curd was sent up that of Harry
Butterworth, late consul at Porto
(lulfo. Bnrbara appeared, still pale.
Butterworth told his story. When
Ben was at Porto Gulfo there was a
revolution on—as usual. Inez, Presi
dent Castellon’s daughter, was In Gulfo
about to embark for Panama and
safety. The rebel general tried to
catch her and hold her as a hostage.
She took refuge in the American con
ciliate. The revolutionary general de
manded her—she as a native, not en
titled to sanctuary. "Oh, you can’t
have her," said Butterworth, Inspired
hy a happy thought “She has Just
been married to this gentleman here,
an American citizen. And the wife
takes the nationality of the husband."
•‘It was a lie out of whole cloth—
but it went Inez was smuggled on
board the Panama steamer that night
and the next morning Ben took a fruit
steamer for New Orleans. The fair
Inez subsequently returned," concluded
Harry, "and is now—what do you
think? The wife of the revolutionary
general who tried to kidnap her—and
the general is president of the stormy
republic I"
Dick Bennett and Frank Roose
velt, all the necessary details
can be arranged.
Canada ha® no interest in the
immediate construction of the
road. She needs no new front
>er. Larger in extent than the
United States she has approxi
mately one-tenth of our popu
lation. While the road would
be of vast ;mportance to Brit
ish Columbia with its practical
ly untouched northern empire,
t is not of enough importance
to warrant a large construction
program on her part in these
Limes. Yukon Territory like
wise would be benefited, but
’s unable to do immediate
work. A generation of normal
progress will not see the road
completed with Canadian
funds.
Alaska and the United States
need this road now. Canada
has the right of way, the Unit
id States the money. Why not
orm a partnership?
A plan! I would suggest that
the road be built with U. S. cit
izens and machinery, with Can
adian material and supplies.
Foodstuffs, lumber and dyna
mite would be the principal
purchases. I would also rec
ommend that men employed be
paid one-third of their wages
in Canada and the balance in
equal monthly installments of
i>30 at their home address in
Lhe United States after their re
turn.
Will Canada agree to such a
proposition?
Canada will agree to any
proposition that is on a 50-50
basis. Bennett will give Roose
velt his shirt, provided, of
course, that Roosevelt will give
Bennett his. And. after all, is
lot that the only kind of a deal
that we, as a civilized nation,
could ask? The only restrict
ion they would certainly make
would be to guarantee against
the road ever being used for
military purposes. But do not
try to exploit Canada. Canada
is a friendly nation, populated
with Iriendly people. We
want them to stay that way.
Fifteen million dollars will
build a modern gravel-surfaced
highway connecting Seattle
and Fairbanks. In no place
within our national boundaries
will a comparable sum unlock
such a treasure house of oppor
tunities for as large a percent
age of our population. Years
ago we purchased Alaska, and
left it on the counter. By
building this road it will be de
livered to our doors. We have
a T. R. Roosevelt highway
across the United States. Let’s
build a F. R. Roosevelt high
way to Alaska.
Never been done before?
Tell THAT to Franklin D.
Roosevelt!
