"Good day, Coggeshall, good news from Mrs. White, I hope?" the friend of the family Ohked kindly. "Indeed, Mr. Glaenzer, I've had Just no news at all from Mrs. White," she returned. "Well, well, I expect Mr. White will bring us plenty, when he gets back."

So I am Inclined to doubt he has one, Mr. Glaeuzer." "Then In case of a fire, the safe would have to be taken out bodily? No one but Mrs. White could get at It?"

Its trappers spend the winter In the Arctic regions, many of them three or four weeks' Journey from the nearest post at which supplies can bo obtained. Now an airplane service has been Instituted to care for these lonely men. In the past they have come Into contact with civilization often only once a year, during their annual visits to the company's trading posts, and supplies have been taken to them during the summer by trading ships. Now they will be within three days' Journey of the great cities of Canada, from which the 800 horse-powe- r airplanes will set out, bearing malls and newspapers, food and clothing. Each airplane can carry three tons. The machines are fitted with skis, which enable them to land on snow or ice. Besides taking goods to the trappers they will bring back furs. far-awa- y Job.
