In the present stage of the negotiations, it is not so much the fault of the British government es that of the agents of India. Gandhi has fought persistently for the interests of the “untouchables.” this own associates at the round ta- ble evidently are not guided by the same idealism as the Mahatma. They are willing to compromise upon some of the issues over which the religious; sects of India are at sword’s point.

People} led a different sort of life then and) they needed more food and a dif- ferent kind of food to sustain them. Appetites were good as outdoor ap- petites still are. In discussing the culinary problems of colonial days, the George Wash- ington Bi-Centennial commission gives us the menu for a Philadelphia’ family for Thanksgiving dinner. Here it is: “Turkeys, duck, hams, chicken, jbeef, pig, tarts, creams, custards, jel- (Iles, fools, trifles, floating islands, sweetmeats of twenty sorts, whipped | sillibubs, fruits, raisins, almonds, Pears, and peaches, with the usual and rum.” There are some items on that menu which still rate more than passing attention—and some others which might have appeal to many if they were available, { Let Warriors War Dr. William Mather Lewis, presi- dent of Lafayette college, proposed the other day that if we ever have an- other war the draft should apply only to men between 40 and 60 years of age, and that members of cabinets, parliaments and congresses who brought about the war should be the first to be called; and whatever ob- jections there might be from a mili- tary standpoint, this at least expresses @ thought that a lot of people’ have been nourishing recently.

It would seem, however, that the real job is to compose the bitter religious and social differences which militate against a settlement of the Indian crisis.

He was then. @ young man who wanted the pro- pinquity of musical artists. He had musical ambitions of his own.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXVIII AS the rented roadster spun along the white Florida road toward Miami late in the afternoon of October 16 Mary was uneasily conscious of Bruce's presence, be- side-her. He still wore his Cynical air, but now -with-some reason, -as she realized with vexation. This visit to the Hialeah race- track from which she had hoped 80 much had turned up exactly noth- ing. “The Fly will be there if he’s alive,” George Bowen had said. Well, they had spent the afternoon looking for him and obtained not so much as a giimpse. It was almost an impossible task to find anyone in the huge crowd and it was made more exasperating by the constant feel of Bruce's mocking eyes upon her, In self-defense, Mary had kept her eyes glued to field-glasses— turned not upon the track, how- ever, but upon the boxes. Satisfied that her quarry was not there, she had systematically raked the stands, tier by tier. But The Fly, it he was present, had eluded her, What her next move should be, she did not know. If silence prevailed in the front Seat, however, there was compen- sating animation behind. The countess and Bates, who was a pri- vate detective when not posing as an inventor of a new form of atr- craft, anxious to win Jupiter back- ing had evidently found the en- forced proximity of the rumble seat conducive to quick acquaintance, They laughed and chatted Ike two children, ‘The countess was unduly pleased over her winnings on a horse which she had chosen by the simple Process of shutting her eyes and Poking at the list of entries with a pencil, The horse, a 10 to one shot, had come home in the money. The countess seemed to regard her luck as a good augury, or perhaps she needed the money. At any rate, her gayety rasped Mary's nerves. Mary ‘tad watched the little black filly, La Mosca, who was touted as the favorite, stumble when the race was half won and lag home far in the lee, She was not superstitious, but she almost believed in signs, too, for the moment, yway, there it was on the ‘La Mosca, filly 3-year-old, trainer, K. Jones, owner, H. De Loma.” At least, she had a name to go on. Had Bowen been there today to see the race run? She Wondered where Bowen was and if he had given up the chase alto- gether. If he had come, as he said he might, she had seen nothing of yet but the ‘Gypsy’ had docked only the day before, She sent the car along at break- neck pace, swinging past car after car on the crowded road in her hurry to get back to Miami and ask for mail at the hotel. Dirk had not written but she had not given up hoping. The party had discardé@ the idea of staying on the “Gypsy,” and had taken rooms at the Ambassador, Already the busy pens of society reporters had broadcast the party’s presence. If Dirk had been uncertain where to write her, he need be no longer. Now if he did not write she would know why, eee At the hotel Mary went imme- diately to ask for her mail and she turned away from the win- dow, disappointed, found Bates at her elbow. “They've gone into the bar,” he said, “Listen, have you got a cam- era?” , “No, Why? Heaven knows this is no pleasure trip for me!” “Can you get one? And cook up some excuse for taking that wo- man’s picture? I want to send it back to the police department in New York. I’ve seen her face some- where, either in the lin or may- be on one of those posters the Surete sends over for us to look at.” “Maybe you've just seen her in the roto sections,” Mary suggested indifferently. “She’s a sort of minor nobility, you know. At least, her husband was.” “Yes. Very minor,” Bates agreed dryly. “Well, how about it?” “T'll get one, of course, if you think it worth while. But hadn't you better forget the Countess and think of The Fly? Crook or no crook, you seemed to enjoy yourself with her this afternoon,” she rallied “Sure, I kid her along,” he an- swered, unsmiling, “and you'd bet- ter, too. I'll bet she’s a mean baby when she’s riled.” Mary did not appear to be listen- ing. Inside, she felt as if she were slowly turning to stone. If Dirk did not wi tomorrow—if he didn’t write at all— Bates saw that she was not pay- ing attention, He touched her arm. “You listening?” he said sharply. And when she gave him her atten- tion he added, “What I mean is if anybody copped her boy-friend, now, she'd shoot—get me?” Mary laughed, “Nothing is further ftom my thoughts,” she waved him away. Obviously he had misunderstood the’ mock gallantry with which Bruce treated her. Angrily, she re- solved to free herself of Bruce. It was @ nuisance, having him always at her heels and besides it meant quettishly. “These people must be made gay. They are very bad gamblers, these foolish ones—they bet on the favorite!” She lifted sleepy, malicious eyes to Mary, let them slip over the girl insolently, before turning to the old man again. “One should nev-air bet on the fa- vorite to win, Monsieur Jupiter, isn’t that so?” eee iBRvce interrupted smoothly, ad- dressing no one in particular. “Louise proposes a dinner-party. She is entranced with the Ambas- sador roof which is all dressed up for tomorrow night’s fete. As a commentary upon her taste, I re- ret to say the decor consists prin- cipally of red balloons.” The Countess and he exchanged a quick, unreadable glance. Mary was sure there was unfriendliness in it, but she had no interest in the love spats of such a disagreeable pair. “Old Man” Jupiter lifted his stiff. frame from the divan with an effort. “Let's go eat,” he said, shortly. The Countess pouted. “Oh, but we must dress first!” she wailed, in mock dismay. Jupiter said, “Well, hurry up,” and sank down again. The Countess’ eyes glittered for an instant but she took Bruce's arm and departed. Evidently Jupi- ter meant to cling to his linens but. Bates agreed cheerfully, He was enjoying himself. Mary said wearily, “I’ll go, too. I’ve quarts of dust down my back.” She did not want to report her fail- ure to Mr. Jupiter just then, Wnder the door of her room she found a slip of paper, a printed blank headed “Telephone Calls.” Beneath was writ “Call Mr. Bowen at Shore 61.” So he was there! Happily she heard him an- swer her pleased “Hollo!” “Were you at the track this after- moon?” she asked. It seemed in- credible that she could have missed him. Her eyes burned, her head ached,-she was~almost sun-blind from that constant searching, searching of faces. “Where were you?” “Where was I? Back in the pad- dock, sister, getting an earful, Want to buy a horse?” "A horse? What on earth for?” “For the price of her oats. She won't be much good as a racer. De Loma kicked hell out of her for throwing the race, I understand. He must have had a wad of jack on her. Listen, is it true you've got the knick-knack with you?” Mary hesitated. “What about it?” “Well, he's flat. Stony.

Mary looked away in disgust. “We celebrate my winnings,” the other woman prattled on. She cuddled the old man’s arm within her own, lowered her voice ¢o- fas more than she could out better fitles than his, his!” * “The Ambassador? He's here?” “If they haven’t chucked him out, bag and baggage. Better get the necklace out and give him a flash of it, quick. He'll leap at it. If it is he'll mean business when he strikes!” ‘ A slim hand encircled the girl's throat, where a pulse beat choking- ly, “You've got me—rattled,” she gasped. “Come and tell me what I ought to do.

He tried to give them, But lay your plans first, kid, for | la ©N95) BY NEA Service Inc send me, so I quit.” eee A BELLBOY stuck his head in the door in response to her “Come in,” and said, “Your party’s gone upstairs, Miss Harkness. They ask you to join them on the roof.” Mary nodded. She told Bowen her immediate plans, and arranged to slip away and meet him as soon as possible after dinner. Trembling with suppressed ex- citement, she tugged at her big wardrobe trunk, hastily conning her small array of evening dresses, Her hand fell on the Paris dress. Well, if the Countess wanted a party, she should have one. She dressed with great care. She al- ways felt like a schoolgirl beside that experienced lady, anyway, but it would help some to know she was looking well. ‘When she stepped out of the ele- vator she found Bates—a surpris- ingly altered Bates, resplendent in evening clothes—pacing the lounge, waiting for her. “That dame gives me the creeps,” he confided in an undertone as he met her. “I’ve tailed some shady Propositions in my day, but—” he shook his head to indicate baffle- ment. “It’s just like I said,” he added disgustedly, “They're fight- ing already.” “Fighting? Who?” “Him and her. Young Jupiter and the Countess. They went at it hot and heavy the minute she got in her room and he in his. Their Tooms are connecting, you know. He thinks she's making too much of a play for his father and she says what's he always hanging around after you for, if he hates you so much, You've got her go- ing, kid!” Ma laugh bubbled up and over. “Oh, that’s too funny!” Still smiling, she followed the head waiter across the room toward the balcony table at which their party was seated. Heads turned as she passed. The room was only half filled, owing to the early hour, but within a moment after the first lackadaisical diner had looked up to see who was coming in, the last man in the farthest corner had re- ceived, by a sort of electric current, the word that a strikingly pretty sirl was crossing the room and he was craning his neck to catch sight of her, What he saw made him pause open-mouthed, and put down his fork. He recognized the girl in- stantly agd sat for a few minutes wrapped in deep thought. When he could, without making himself con- spicuous, he managed to see who her companions were . . . and a fresh shock awaited him. The wo- man in the silver dress , who was she? . . . could she possibly be . . . and what was she doing with the Harkness girl who was his own special prey? Hoe finished his meal hurriedly and looked again, It wasshe! The Countess, looking up just a moment iter, missed the look that crossed his face and as quickly erased itself dog who sees another running away —the look of a particularly vicious with his bone. After the first sur- prised instant of recognition she smiled and cried out, in her usual note of false gaiety, “Enrique!” and halt rose to greet him. The man came forward, a mask ~ settling down over his own fea- tures, and bowed over her hand. An odd flush came into her sallow cheeks as she presented him to the others, “This is my most dear friend, Count Enrique De Loma!” (To Be Continued) to me at all—Senator William E.|belng is the rate at which his body Borah. carries on its chemical industry.

It seems likely also that under-nu- trition may be associated with a low- ered basal metabolic rate. Thus Dr. Bernard M. Jacobson has found that it is low in starvation, as, for exam- Ple, in professional fasters, and that @ low rate sometimes occurs also in people with diabetes who have been compelled to be undernourished. The chief incidence of: lowered basal metabolism seems to be asso- ciated with a question of thyroid de- ficiency. There are, however, other glands of internal secretion, such as the pituitary and the adrenal, which may be deficient in their activity and thereby produce a lowered basal me- tabolism. Lowered metabolism is also found in occasional cases of anemia and in nervous; disorders of the psychas- thenic type.
