BEGIN HERE TODAY the hot Florida sun was streaming, ‘“Lorimor!” impress you,” Bowen said, -“Still, q q i q “Just as long as money hides away at home, or lies idle in the banks, just so long will there be a stoppage in the. vital circles of manufacture, distribution and consumption. The employment of the husband and grown sons and daughters will be threatened, curtailed or cut off altogether unless the dollars now dammed up in the homes begin to flow again in normal currents through stores back to factories, mills and farms. “I do not overlook the fact that families whose main source of in- zome has been taken from them, or whose income has fallen be- low the reduction in prices, can not spend as they spent before. 3uch families must conserve funds which are no longer fed by the pay check and which are under continual drain for the daily es- sentials of life. But families whose major incomes have re- mained the same since 1929 or have not decreased as much as have prices (which on all house- hold goods have been reduced by one-eighth throughout the coun- try) are better off financially to- day than they were two years ago. This would be the situation, for example, in the families of many of the 3,000,000 federal, state and local government em- ployes of many persons associ- ated with life insurance and tele- phone companies, with electric light and power, gas, drugs and tobacco production. Such fami- lies are in excellent position to render real service by increasing their purchases in proportion to increase the employment oppor- tunities of others.” Amphibian War Tanks | Newspapers the other day printed Pictures of a new tank devised by British army experts—an amphibian creation, that can swim through the water and use a formidable turret gun while it swims, and that can meintain a 42-mile speed on dry land. It is suggested that a fleet of these tanks would be extremely valuable to a general who was trying to land troops on a shore held by enemy forces. Now the interesting thing, right here, would be to find out what the veterans of England's Gallipoli expe- dition of 1915 might think about it. For that expedition began with the landing of troops on beaches manned by Turkish soldiers with machine guns; and the landing resulted in casualties so sickening that the en- tire expedition was cursed from the start. How many lives might not a few tanks of this kind have saved! The course of the whole war might have been altered. Mending Our Ways | Charles A. Beard, the historian, de- clared in an article in Harper's Magazine the other day that the creed of individualism, revered in America since the first pioneer took his long rifle and his ax out into the Shadows of the backwoods, is chiefly responsible for the fix in which we find ourselves today. Whatever merits this creed may} have had in the old days, he adds, it doesn’t work today; instead, it is actually a menace to society, An age \than eight separate and distinct of- jheavily, and other ills which ‘have| and even seven cents, and their pro- ceeds used to meet other municipal expenses for which provision should be made by other means. Worse than that, in some states a special gas tax is levied for general revenue; thus penalizing one class of citizens for the benefit of another. Perhaps it is not realized how far the evil of unrestricted taxation of gasoline has gone. A list of no fewer fenses against decency and fair play have been listed. These include de- moralization of the retail gasoline markets in many cities; the entrance into the system of distributing gaso- line of racketeers, criminals who have been preying upon honest business in other lines; operation, for the promise of illegal profit, of carelessly constructed and badly managed bulk plants; a new source of direct finan- cial loss to refiners and other sources of supply through firms which op- erate only to beat the tax laws; di- version to other purposes of moneys! collected from motorists who assented standing that the funds were to go for roads; selling of inferior gocds! as a means of evading tax; fraudu- lent claims for exemption by some consumers, on whom the tax bears flowed from an originally admirable system which has been abused. It is no less true of gasoline taxa-| tion than of any other form of taxa- tion that if it is overdone, the in- evitable result will be loss of revenue, evasion and fraud. Bootlegging of gasoline is as much a violation of; law as bootlegging of liquor. It has been suggested that the oil industry) and the motorists should work to- gether to secure inclusion in various state laws of such safeguards as li- censing and bonding of all dealers, adequate provisions for checking shipments and sales, more severe punishment, including imprisonment, for those found guilty of violations, and so on. These are all right in their way, and should be incorpo-/ rated, but the basic trouble is abuse} of the tax privilege, with which some states and communities have run wild. Indeed, it is stated by no less an authority than the Oil and Gas Journal that “the profits from the racket have been so attractive that they have heen divided with conniv- ing officials, with the usual result of widespread corruption, as in the li- quor racket.” Liquor bootlegging is @ national scandal, but more con-| doned in fact, because of peculiar conditions, than swindling of the public through improper use of the power to impose taxes on gasoline consumption ever will be.

She would have given a great deal to know what subject was so engrossing Louise and De Loma, but she dared not risk the chance of being caught snooping about. Almost immediately she was sorry, though. Why hadn't she concealed herself and tried td catch at least a word of what was pass- ing between those two? It might be of tremendous importance to her plans, If the Countess guessed, or if Bruce had broken his promise and told her the purpose of this trip, might she not pass the in- formation on to De Loma, either in- tentionally or otherwise? It De Loma: ever had been of im- portance in the Countess’ life pn- questionably she would warn him if she could. The question-mark was Brute, Distrustful of the whole affair, he might have violated his promise; Mary surmised there was not much that the crafty Louise could not worm out of him if she chose, = Well, it was on the lap of thé gods. Whatever was happening down there would have to happen. No one could reasonably have fore- seen that those two would be in- in her window and the telephone at her elbow was ringing madly. A glance at her wristwatch showed that it was nearly 10 o'clock. “Aren’t you ever coming down?” Louise’s half-scolding tones rever- berated in the telephone. “We go to ride along the Jungle Trail and up the coast for lunch, Hurry!” ~ “Don’t wait for me,” Mary told her coolly. “I shan’t go this time.” “Ob, but—” Quite evidently the other was not prepared for refusal. She did not know what to say next. She could not command. Yet she knew quite well that so far Bruce had managed to thwart the girl’s every effort to be alone. She must have turned to Bruce for Mary heard a low-voiced col- loquy. Then Bruce spoke, coaxing- ly: “Surely you're not going to spend this gorgeous day in bed? Come along! Dad’s anxious to get started! “Not I," Mary rejoined unflus- tered. “Amuse yourselves as you please. I have an appointment with the hair-dresser and some books to read. I'll just stay here and loaf.” “As you please,” Bruce replied coldly and rang off. “Now,” thought Mary, provoked, “he'll be sure to think I'm up to miechief, and follow me!” eee Co second thought, however, taught her it was unlikely Bruce would forego his day’s out- ing because of any serious interest in her activities. Bruce was merely trying to make himself obnoxious, so that she would find life in the Jupiter. household unbearable and leave. It was pleasant to go down to breakfast alone.

It just reminded ame of something Dirk told me—” She repeated to him what had seemed so suspicious to Dirk—that the manufacturer of Jupiter motor cars should buy a Lorimor car and keep it in hiding. At least, not even the members of his household knew thr’ he had it. Bowen frowned over that for a few minutes. “By George,” he exclaimed, “T never would have thought of that! Maybe the old boy’s slyer than we think—” He shook his head, dis- carding the suspicion. “No, I don’t believe it.” “Neither do I," Mary agreed, re- Heved to have some one back up her confidence in Jupiter. “Keep it in mind, though,” Bowen advised, as one who believed in thoroughness and efficiency, “Now, what's on the books for today?” “Just waiting for tonight, most- ly,” Mary said shivering. “I must find out what kind of costumes will bé de rigeur at the party and find myself one. And here’s something else—” eons was her peaceful interlude, as last night's fresh worry re- curred to mind, She told Bowen of seeing De Loma and the Countess Louise in close and animated con- versation in the lobby, when the latter was supposed to be in bed with a. severe headache, “You don’t suppose she knows this so-called pleasure trip is really a hunt for the Fly? You don’t sup- pose she’s told him?” Bowen's usually placid brow took on some real corrugations. He was Apparently she; obviously more worried than he would admit. “Well, I know a quick way to find out,” he said, and got up. Pres- ently he returned with the informa- “He's checked out. Last night And sat down heavily. Despair took him in hand for a mo- ment, and shook him as a cat shakes a rat. “My God,” he moaned, “you don’t suppose that she-cat of Bruce’s has given the show away? Woman or not, I'll poke her in the nose, if she has! I swear I will! I’ve followed that bird this far, but this is no rowad-the-world cruise!” He writhed silently for a minute. “No, I'll tell you what it is,” he said, presently, “He had to get out anyway. This is no free flop- house and he’s down to his last thin dime. Probably just saying goodby—talking over old times a bit. Didn’t you say he and the Countess were pretty thick once upon a time?” he added hopefully. “There's something between them,” Mary assured him. “He's probably been her lover at some time or other, Yes, it might have been that—only that.” She tried to believe herself. “Well, then I sup- pose my date for tonight is can- celled . . .” It was hard to say whether disappointment or relief was her principal reaction to this thought. “But he said it so firmly —'T'll be there!’ As if he’d swim rivers and climb mountains and Tl bet he shows up. The necklace is his best bet now. Anyhow, you'd better be there with bells on, in case he does come.” A beliboy insinuated himself Into the conversation at this point, with @ message from the room clerk. “The clerk says to tell you he was mistaken about the matter you just asked about,” he told Bowen. “The man did check out of Parlor C but later he came over and paid his bill and took another room, It’s No, 802 if you want to reach him, sir, Thank you, sir.” . ‘HEN the boy had departed, en- lightenment rested on the faces of those whom he had just left. “Looks like the girl-friend staked him,” Bowen mused. “Now, why would she do that? He must have been her Big Moment at some time or other. Or maybe she had to do it to keep his mouth shut. Maybe anything. We don’t need to worry about it, We'll know all about it one of these days.” He took a cigaret and pushed back his chair. “Well, our time may be short. ‘We'd better get busy. I want to buzz around and borrow that trick camera and get a picture of the Countess if I can. If we can get some dirt on her maybe we can scare her with it, even if we don’t use it any other wi How're you going to work it to get The Fly on board the “Gypsy” tonight. Have you any idea?” “None at all,” Mary confessed, “T'm just trusting to luck to tell me what to do when the time comes, What I’m afraid of is that I won't get a chance to talk to Mr. Jupiter first, He's off now for the day and Bates with him. What Jf we need extra men? Bates will be with me but there ought to be another secret service man at the affair whom De Loma doesn’t know. He knows Bates, though of course he doesn’t know he’s a plainclothesman, I wonder...” Here the same bellboy hovered about again, finally injecting him. self between the abstracted pair with a suaves “Are you Miss Hark- ness? Miss Mary Harkness?” ‘ Startled, Mary assented. “Gentleman in the lobby to see you,” the boy rattled off, relieved at having discharged his duty. He hurried off, to wait for her in the doorway.

He is a member of the Utica Revolver] club and a crack shot with a hand-| gun. “I'll go—you stay here,” Mary whispered to Bowen, her heart thumping wildly with uncertainty and nervousness. Bowen nodded. “Don’t worry about me. I'll go take a look. at the kitchen if I can’t get out any other way.” Mary followed the bellboy, her limbs quaking treacherously. As she walked around the high-badked chair to face its occupant, she felt a weakness that was almost like fainting. The outstretched legs, garbed in white linen, were uncommunicative, As she came face to face with the man in the chair, who rose swiftly to meet her, her relief was almost equal to her puzzlement. He was not, as she had feared, De Loma, but a stranger. Try as she would, from a quick scanning of the good-looking, sunburned face, she could not recall ever having somewhere in a big Lorimor car.” Mary almost dropped her fork. that sort of thing, you know.” “Probably just bis line, meant to seen the man before in her life.
