A Cruise for
Love
By LEETE STONE
<£). by McClure Newnpaper Syndicate.
WNU Service
SIDE by side; moored so close to
each other that they could Just
clear with the shifting of the tides,
floated two craft. A portraiture of
Ironic contrast. One was the palatial
steam yacht, "Versailles," the pleas
ure hobby of young Gregory Anson,
who was using his youth to poke the
lissome prow of his pet Into all un
familiar ports. The other was a long
squat lumber scow, recently free of a
load of cypress from some southern
port.
Gregory had guests for dinner this
night. From the open .portholes of
the dining salon floated gay laughter,
serious tails and the congenial warm
ing clink of fragile glasses. In addi
tion to two chums, ills fiancee and her
mother, who were making the cruise
with him, there were on board a fa
mous portrait painter jind a noted en
gineer. All but Gregory and t.onu I.ns
celles were lingering at table.
These two had excused themselves
and were up above leaning against the
bridge rail.
“You’re very silent, not like yourself
at all tonight, Lona,” Gregory finally
murmured.
“What’s the matter, old girl? You
know I love you; know I'll do every
thing ;o make.you happy; why. we’ve
grown up together! You ought to
know me by this time.”
“That's just the trouble, Greg, dear.
I do know you. Oh—I’m a foolish
Idealist, of course. I love you. and
you're never earned a dollar in your
life, not even me. Greg, I’ve always
dreamed of marrying a man who, if
he had to, could make his way with
out a dollar to start with. Greg, dear,
if you knew women a little better, l
think you'd understand. Sorry, If I
seem to hurt you. A woman’s got to
do more than just love a man; site's
got to look up to him, it’s her nature!"
"Yes. I.ona! I understand. While
you were talking I wanted to give you
a good shaking; Just as I used to do
wtien you filched candy out of my
pockets at school. But I got a sudden
flash at your viewpoint. Atid I guess
you’re right. I've never earned a dol
lar. never even traded pocketknlves
when I was a kid. Exercised the gold
en spoon, sure enough. Well, old girl,
this ought to be remedied. There
must be a way. Have you any sugges-’
tions? Because, you see. you mean so
much to me that I don’t want you un
less I can have every bit of you; love,
respect, understanding; the whole
business that goes with the right kind
of marriage."
"By Jove! Wlmt a portrait!” A
deep voice from behind them ex
claimed. It was Weytnan Harris, the
painter. He stood gazing over the op
posite bridge rail at the squat scow.
Hardly a hundred feet away, square
ly etched in bright moonlight, rose the
boxlike little cabin of the scow with
its one dark window. Sitting In a non
descript chair tilted back against the
wall of tiie cabin was a man; a young
man, sound asleep. A man whose
every rugged feature, clearly visible,
bore the stamp of toll and strife. One
knew that those closed eyes had sailed
many seas and seen them from the
struggler's angle.
Weytnan Harris stepped quickly to
the panelled wall of the wheel house,
thumb-tacked a tiny sheet to It, and
was at once immersed in sure, rapid
pencil strokes; turning his head every
second to look at t he model.
Greg and I.ona still remained in rapt
contemplation.
"Yes, my lads; it’s worth a try,”
came finally from Greg In what must
have been an unconscious whisper.
“What did you say, Greg?"
Gregory did not reply. He lit a ciga
rette, withdrawn with elaborate care
from a gold case; put four fingers In
Ills mouth, from which at once there
issued a shrill and piercing whistle.
The sleeper a hundred feet away,
jumped from ids chair as if shot and
looked about him warily.
"Say. friend!” Gregory called clear
ly. "Come over a moment, please. 'I
want to see you.”
A few moments Inter, having rowed
over In the scow's little punt, the stal
wart sailor stood on the bridge facing
Greg and I.ona.
"Yes. sir!” he said expectantly.

"Who's your ciner over t tie re?" trom
Greg.
‘‘Captain .Innson. sir. He’s asiiore."
“Well. 1 .addybuck ; you’ve .got a new
Job at a hundred a month and keep.
You’re going to report to my captain
at once and get a suit of whites.

old man flat, y'know.”
“That's all fixed. I'm taking your
place. When he comes back he'll find
me and I’ll square you."
Gregory Anson turned to Dona, and
there was that in his eyes that thrilled
her. “Dona, fix this boy up with Cap
tain Smith. I’ll see you sometime,
somewhere—just now I'm going to
work for you." And Gregory started
down for the little punt bobbing at
the side.
Pig Rout* Cattle Thieve*
When cattle thieves attempted to
raid a dairy farm in Villa Franqueza,
near Alicante, Spain, they were
frightened away by the loud grunts
of a suspicious pig. The grunts also
aroused the people of the farm, but
the thieves, enraged by the interrup
tion, killed the porker before they fled.
coins, valued at $895,625. The
only other coinage during the
year consisted of 20,560,000
bronze one-cent pieces valued
at $205,600.
The total domestic coinage
was 23,109,250 pieces, valued
at $13,136,225.
There was also a considerable
volume of coinage for foreign
governments during the year.
TO SEE NEW STARS
Millions of new stars will be
brought within the range of
man’s vision through a new
telescope, four times as power
ful a? any now in existence, to
be built for the California Ins
titute of Technology with funds
furnished by the International
Education Board. It will be
located on a high California
mountain to be selected later.
The present world’s largest
telescope is the 100-inch re
flector on Mt. Wilson, Calif.
The new telescope will have
a 200-inch reflector of fused
quartz, which will present a
more nearly perfect surface
than glass. The General Elec
tric Company has undertaken
to build it, with the cooperation
of Dr. Robert A. Millikan and
other leading physicists.
When it is considered that
the present largest telescopes
are able to explore the universe
to a distance of 100 million
light years, the depths to which
the new monster reflector may
penetrate may be figured, but
can not be grasped by the hu
man mind.
The most startling objects to
be revealed will doubtless be
connected with nearby heaven
ly bodies such as our moon and
the planets of our own solar
system. The question of wheth
er life exists on Mars or Venus
may possibly be answered.
Report Shows 127 In Home
One hundred and twenty-sev
en old timers of the north were
enjoying- the hospitality of the
Alaska Pioneers’ Home at Sitka
on January 1, according to a
recent announcement by Super
intendent Eiler Hansen.
The list of inmates included
only two from this section,
Richard Inkster and Fred
Nothiger, all others from this
section having passed away
during the past year or prior
thereto. The 38 deaths occuring
during 1933 included those of
two former Hyderites, Charles
Molander and Alex B. Taylor.
The old pioneers enjoyed a
wonderful Christmas, Mr. Han
sen said. Each received a gift
box and $7.25 in cash, the lat
ter from contributions of funds
made by friends cf the old tim
ers in all parts of the Territory.
They were also regaled with a
big turkey dinner with all the
“fixins,” topped off with a bot
tle of beer and a cigar.
