GOOD HIGHWAYS PUT STATE FRUIT CROP ON MARKET Southern Indiana Growers Now Find Big Orchards • Profitable, For the first time in the history of the State Southern Indiana fruit raisers are able to market their products through profitable and regular market centers, it was learned today from officials of the State highway commission and the State entomologist's office. While fruit is raised almost everywhere in the State, according to Frank Wallace, entomologist, the Southern Indiana crop has never had an outlet because of the impassable conditions of the roads in that part of the State. Offers S 10,000 Cash One fruit farmer, who even now has to travel a long distance to get to a State road, recently said that he would pay SIO,OOO in cash to build a short connecting road to help got his crop to the northern Indiana markets. The- old marketing method was to send the crop, via aerial cable down to the Ohio River, where the obtaining of shipping facilities was most uncertain. Now the fruit farmer reaches Indianapolis, a wholesale center for such crops, and disposes of the crop that in the years before rotted in the orchards. The network of State improved reads running through southern Indiana opens up that fertile district to trade with other parts of the State and actually with the whole middle west generally. Reach Railroad Centers Individual crops of more than 50,000 bushels of peaches are now reaching railroad centers, especially Indianapolis, for distribution throughout the United States. Before, even with the best kind of service on the Ohio River, most of the crop was lost annually because of inaccessibility of the district. Further development of the State road program, already serving every town in the State over 2,500 population with 4,000 miles of improved highways, will make it a simple matter for the most out-of-the-way orchard to reach profitable markets, it is said. i

BEGIN HFKE TODAY Pfter Newhall, AiißUsta. Ga., fires to Alasks,, after being; told by Ivan Ishmin. Russian violinist, he had drowned Paul Sarichef, Ish min's secretary, following a quarrel. Ishmin and Peters wife, Dorothy, Rad urged him to flee to South America. He joins Big Chris Larson in response to a distress signal at sea. forcing his sea jacket upon him. Their launch hits rocks. Dorothy receives word that her husbands body .identified by his sea jacket has been buried in Site accepts Ishmiu’s attentions, ffiit Peter has been rescued by another Rhip. Injuries com pletely change his appearance and he is known as Limejulce Pete. He takes a job in a cannery. Larson# body occupies his grave. Dorothy decides to carry Peter's body back to Georgia for burial. Ishmin arranges by letter with Peter's boss for guide and labor. Limejulce Pete it chosen as guide. Ishmin and Dorothy arrve but do not recognize him. NOW GO ON WITH TIIK STORY "j T intervals the rolling shore line gave way to grim and v- lofty precipices, the high ranges dropping sheerly off into the sei, and hefe the waves broke in great, unpreaching, shimmering clouds of spray. Beyond these manyhued cliffs was the supreme Aleutian Range, a wonderful divide of sharp, jagged snow-swept peaks. There was no sign that man had gained a foothold here, never a village or roof, a trapper’s hut or a camp fire. Thus had it lain unchanged since, in bygone ages, it had raised up from the sea. Dorothy was aware as she s.ood at the deck railing that a few forward Pete the guide watcher* .e shore line, too. He seemed in the brooding mooa that it invoked, she found herself glancing, from time to time, at his home’y, tnoughtful face, broad shoulders hunched over the railing; and by woman’s secret ways she knew that he was deeply and poignantly aware of her presence, also. Suddenly he spoke to her and pointed toward the beach. “Look just to the left of that big, white triangular rock,” he told her. “Do you see something moving—” Instantly she caught a spot of red. “Yes —what is it?” “A fox. We'll see lots of ’em. If you keep your eyes open, we may see caribou, too—they roam here in enormous herds.”

She moved nearer to him, and he I>ointed out things of interest,. Once he showed her a flock of beach geese, lifting tall heads from the shore; often hair-seal rolled up with the combers, and once ho showed her what he thought to be that most rare of marine animals, a sea otter, playing in a floating bed of kelp. Os sea life there was an abundance—porpoises playing beside the ship, a whale blowing far off, once the long, dark fin of a basking-shark, chasing salmon in the mouth of a long, deeply cut bay. "Maybe I’ll get to show you a Kodiak bear, too,” Pete told her. “Then you’ll get the thrill of your life.” He showed her the high, glittering Pavlof volcano, and her towering sister peak, one of the most symmetrical mountains in the world. She felt increasingly glad that Bradford had selected him for the head guide. She saw with pleasure that he was personally immaculate—his blonde beard trimmed until it was almost distinguished looking, his rough garb well kept and clean. She had a feeling that, should one of the rolling waves rise up and overwhelm the boat, his would be a strong arm to rescue her. At present, however, the seas were comparatively placid, easily rolling, the sky blue overhead, the warm late September sun pouring genially down the deck. "I believe we’re going to have the best of weather,” she told him. Pete hesitated. “I don’t like tho way the clouds lie on the hills,” he told her soberly. “We’re bound to have good weather for a day or two, I should say—likely time in plenty to get where we’re going. Os course no one can tell in these uproarious waters. After a few days there’s going to be a change in weather, and what that means, no one knows.” It was Pete, who later brought fruit to her stateroom, opened a jammed window, and with the finest courtesy put himself at her service. The Warrior rounded the Peninsula, then turned northeast along the south shore of Bering Sea. For the first three days the good weather prevailed without a breajt, but the

morning of the fourth brought'a sharper wind, a more restless movement of the whitcaps on the dark waves. The fifth morning found the sky overcast and lowering, and a decidedly keen edge to the wind. The water had darkened in hue, the tall cliffs frowned from the shore. But the Warrior progressed steadily, and at the dawn of the sixth day dropped iter anchor out from the reefs where the Jupiter and the Vigten had gone down. WHAT A JOKE ON BIG CHRIS LARSON. The landing party was soon ready to disembark. Dorothy, deeply mpved by the belief that this was the site of her husband’s death, her brunet beauty accentuated by the wind on her cheeks, and the sea's blue deepening her violet eyes; lan, thrilled by the savage beauty of the land, dressed warmly in smart riding trousers, rubber-and-leather boots and a sheep-lined coat, and tho three guides outwardly stolid and businesslike, climbed into one of the ship’s boats into which Pete had already packed a large part of his winter supplies and such duffle as Dorothy and Ivan had brought; and the word was given to lower away. "One thing more,” Dorothy directed, as the crew stood at the davits. “Ivan, I want you to bring your violin." "Os course.” One of the crew immediately brought the precious instrument to his side, not the brilliant Stradivarius, but a beautiful Hornstiener of wonderful, mellow tone. The boat was lowered and the

three Alaskans took the oars. They headed straight tojvard the gate between the reefs where the dory of the Dolly Bettis had rowed to rescue the battered, bleeding Remittance Man almost two years before. Nearer view did not in the least alleviate the deep feeling that this land invoked in Dorothy. As she pushed through the deep moss, up the wind-swept hill, the haunting spirit of the waste places wont home to her as never before. Pete paused on the hill, then began a detailed study of the beach below tTrough the binoculars. And almost it once lie saw the weatherbeaten white cross that marked the grave. Dorothy, watching him, saw /a queer look of strain steal into his homely countenance; and the glass trembled in bis hand. But he spoke slowly, perfectly casually, when htMirned. "I’ve found it already,” he said. "The cross?” Ivan asked quickly. "Yes. Not three hundred yards from the camp. We would have seen it from there if that big. gray boulder hadn’t been in the way.” The three of them walked quietly down to the grave. The cross was a simple one of white board; yet the crew of the Norwood had done well by the man who slept below. They had printed simply: PETER NEWHALL Nov. 24, 1920 R. I. P. The dignity of the simple inscrip tion brought a soft luster to Dorothy’s eyes, but Pete stared down like a man in a dream. What a. travesty it was! What a joke on Big Chris Larson lying inarticulate in the casket beneath. Pete called the two camp helpers and they came with their shovels. “You won’t want to watch this, Mrs. Newhall, 7 ’ he said courteously. “Would you like to have me row you back to the boat?” "I’ll stay it out, Pete, thank you. I’m afraid it’s going to rain, chough—” Pete’s blue eyes studied the sky. In the emotinonal stress of the last few moments he had forgotten his old enemy, thq Northern winter. The clouds had darkened and lowered; the cold, driving rain of the North Peninsula was certainly not far off. "I’m afraid so. too,” he commented. “If we work fast, maybe we can get back to the ship before it breaks.” He took one of the three tools and turned his own big muscles to the task. It soon became increasingly evident, however, that they could not beat the storm; and in all likelihood would be obliged to spend the

night ashore, after all. At least the casket could not be transported aboard till calm weather; this much was certain. For once in his life Pete blessed the gods of the storm. He turned with a radiant smile that seemed to light his homely face. “Don't worry. Mrs. Newhall,” he assured the girl. “We'll take care of you and make you comfortable if it blows the mountains over.” She was strangely, deeply grateful, and her warm color deepened as she answered his smile. “I'm not afraid, Pete. I know you'll look after us.” And now the squall at sea was beginning to resemble a real hurricane. Tho first few drops of cold rain, like fine shot, began to lash down at them before a race-horse wind; and Pete immediately took measures for his employer’s comfort. He took his two men from the work, and aiding them with his own broad shoulders, he tipped the dory halfway over on the beach. Then he spread Dorothy’s heavy, sleeping robe beneath it. “Get uhder there,” he invited cordially. \ Dorothy and Ivan both were glad to obey, for all at once the clouds dissolved in drenching gusts of rain. The higher hills were at once obscured in mist; and the storm, dropping between, all but obscured the Warrior riding at anchor. And now
