Join ing the army at an early age, he roge by sheer b jance and became a colonel in the Imperial Guard at twenty-five, As an aide to Ceneral Sukhom linov, he bad raked in his share of Sukhomlinov's war graft during those times when the Russian armies were struggling pitifully in the Galician swamps, with Luden dorff’'s gray hosts in front of them and traitors in the high plages be hind. “We got that data from the Soviet G.P.U.,” A-K explained. “They want him as badly as we do. You see, his game in Vancouver was to pose as an agent of the Soviet foreign trade commission. With his Russian back- ground and all, he put it over in easy style. He cleaned up a million that we know of, and his haul must have totaled twice that much; some of those firms won’t admit they were defrauded, for fear they’d lose prestige. Last September, on the sigteenth, or seventeenth, he cashed in and vanished like a puff of smoke.” VURT understood that A-K wanted bim to run Karakharv down and arrest him. After so brazen a crime, the man’s ciean get-away must have dealt a serfous blow to the reputa tion of the Royal Mounted. And no doubt A-K, like all decent-thinking men, considered that Karakhan's reckoning for the long trail of hu man suffering, death and ruined lives that lay behind him, was due and overdue. As he looked out into the sun splashed court, Curt felt a challenge in pitting himself against this inter- national criminal who had outgen eraled the police of balf a dozen na tions; and he was proud that the heads of the Mounted should have turned to bim. an outsider now ‘when all other recourses had failed. Personally he despised Karakhan cause it showed him so clearly that | Curt had changed a lot since his | of himself, wavering between the | careless se freedom of his new | life and the earnest responsibility of the old. | In the last few weeks he had been | quietly working to secure Curt one of the best positions in the province, | a work which would give him scope | for his abilities. If he was t6 see | Tennyson established in that posi- | tion, it had to be quickly. Unknown to Curt, unknown even to Rosalie, death had marked him— one year longer, two at the very most, his physician said. Now Curt | was turning him down, not only on | the Karakhan hunt but on this in-| finitely more important thing. He felt very old and defeated. | Curt had been just as much a son to bhim as Rosalie, of his own flesh and blood. had been a daughter. At a familiar voice speaking thefr | names, he and Curt looked around. Smash Desplaines was coming into | the breakfast room. He was freshly shaved and his red hair was cropped close: but his muddied flying clothes brought haughty looks of disap- proval from the correctly groomed people there. Waving the waiters | breezily aside. he picked up a third chair and started across to join bis partner and Marlin. “Better not discuss Karakhan be- fore him,” Curt said quietly. “He's honest as daylight, of course, but he’s got an ungunarded tongue. We'll talk this over later, A-K.” In their room that evening Smash | pauséd in his whistling to inguire, “You and Rosalie stepping out to- night, Curt?” Curt turned from the north win- dow. “Yes.” “That’s the time!

NOW EFFECTIVE, BUT NEW FORM Practically Comes Qut in Processing By HERBERT PLUMMER WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—An in- teresting study of changing poli- tical sentiment appears when at- tention is turned to ome method being employed to finance the re- covery program. Less than two years ago Uncle Sam was all worked up over the fact that his budget was badly out of balance. A drive was begun to obtain the necessary funds to get out of the red. After a long search a plan was hit upon and submitted to Con- gress. It was to levy a 225 per cent manufacturers’ sales tax.Such tax the Treasury estimated, would yield some 595 millions of dollars in revnue. ‘What the House of Representa- tives did to that proposed plan of taxation is romembered yet. Seiz- ing control from their leadsrs an overwhelming bi-partisan force struck the sales tax from the reve- nue bill, in one of the most spec- tacular revolts in history. UNDER ANOTHER NAME What's the situation today? According to the best estimates that can be made, during the next two years the consumers in this country will be called upon to shoulder a tax load of more than a billion dollars to finance the program under way to put agri- culture back on its feet. The method of collecting the money now is by a processing tax. It amounts to the same thing as a sales tax in the end. The consumer is the one who pays in both instapces. ‘Where, in 1932, a sales tax pro- posal was routed utterly becaus members of Congress were horri- fied at the thought of increasing their constituents’ cost of livinz for the moment at least there seems to be little expressed con- cern over increased prices. The majority looks upon it ac a part of the President’s broad plan to lead the mation back to better times. IF IT FAILS 1f the President’s board plan fails to work, that will be some- else entirely. An outcry might be expected then. For the present, however, con- sumers as a whole go their way taking into account the explana- tion that their dollars are beinz put to work removing surpluses which have piled up on the na- tion's agricultural counter. o Eschew Tea, Coffee PRAHA—Imports of coffee and tea to Czechoslovakia declined heav- ily in the first six months of this| yeer as compared with 1932, cof- fee dropping from 6875 tons (0] m 244 tons to 6. | southern circuits.
