That was what he had said to her—"I love you with all my heart and soul.” But he wouldn’t put his arm around her. She heard the inspector say, “You're sure?” And then, “Who knows him? . . .

It didn’t make you | unhappy to cry when there was someone to kiss the tears awa; “Caroling—my darling! Don’t cry!

And it's lucky for you he turned round and saw that it wasn’t you at all. “He'saw a man with a cap pulled down over his eyes and a revolver in his hand.

Hardly a bid for him to rejoin the Mounted Police; A-K surely knew he would never go back into the Force. “Utmost importance” —when A-K sald that, it meant something extraordinary. With a slight limp, his relic of a | war-time crack-up, he crossed the lobby to the elevator where a bell- hop was waiting with his key and duffle bag. A number of people, loitering over their morning newspapers, looked up, saw him, followed him with in- terested curious glances.

May Be Linked in New Scheme NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—(Copy- right by Associated Press, 1933)— Through diplomatic channels came word that a proposal to link the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States with National banks in Latin-American nations is un- der consideration as Secretary of State Hull sails for Montevideo to attend the Pan-American Confer- ence. Frofil these sources it is learn- ed an established Inter-American Investment Bureau will solve the economic probl:ms. There is an intense study of aLtin-America be- inz made and the project of a new Bureau apparently has the sym- pathetic support of the Adminis- tration in Washington. Secretary Hull said he is fully aware of the proposals and indi- cated he may personally second the motion for the establishment of such an institution in the plen- ary session of the Pan-American conference. In a motion form, the proposed alliance is expected to be proposed by the Mexican rep- resentative at the conference.

Judge indicated he had contem- plated sending the prisoner fo a reform school for a period of sev- eral years rather than give him a ail or penitentiary term. Grover C. Winn, Murphy's coun- sel, asked for leniency. He urged Murph; youth and lack of prop- or environment in asking the Court to show mercy. U. S. Attorney W. A. Holzheimer said his office did not oppose len- iency but said i felt that Murphy should have some punishment. Mr Winn said his client was but 20 vears of age. Judge Alexander said that was news to him, as he had besn informed Murphy was only 17. He added that put a different phase on the matter and he would like to give it a little study. If the sentence should be to a reformatory and the Department of Justice should select St. An- thony, Idaho, where many Alas- kans have been sent, he could not be held there after he reached the age of 21, or less than one year from now. Murphy was re- turned to jail until tomorrow. ———— P MEMBERS OF ISLANDER SALVAGE CO.
