Perhaps they might know at the manager's of- floe, provided the tickets had been se- cured through the hotel. With throbbing head Thomas went through the lobby to the manager’s room. It was empty. Thomas felt it was an unbearable stroke of fate that he had to wait. But at the same time it was lucky, for it gave him time to think out some excuse for his interest in_Shortwell's whereabouts. When the manager finally entered ‘Thomas said, quite sensibly, “I am in a very awkward situation. I borrowed some money from Mr. Shortwell and promised to return it before his depa: ture. Now I discover that Mr. Short- well left this morning. It is absolutely necessary for me to telegraph the money to him on board, so as to keep my promise.” Five minutes later Thomas knew that Shortwell had taken passage ol the Columbia, “two cabins, first-cla. “He is then traveling with his wife?” asked Thomas. “No, with his secretary, Mrs. Sybil | ‘Wohlmut.” Thomas was not prepared for this. ‘The blood rushed so suddenly to his| head that he leaped up and with a| hasty “Thanks, thanks,” rushed out of | the room. It was no help to him to reflect that Sybil could not travel under any other name besides her own on ac- count of the passport regulations, and that this circumstance in comparison with all the injuries that she had done him was &8 most insignificant matter. He had not even been able to ask the manager when and from what port the Columbia was sailing. But this did not matter very much. He knew that in Unter den Linden al- most every building contained a travel bureau. Ten minutes later he was en- gaged in conversation with a clerk in one of these bureaus. “The Columbia, yes, sir. at noon, from Bremen. Ah, you want passage? Can't manage it. Possibly there may be a vacancy, even though it’s the height of the season, but, as far as we are concerned, we closed bookings yesterday. The agencies out- side of Bremen close the sale of tickets 48 hours before the departure of a steamer. But if you wish, we can tele- phone to Bremen and let you know this afternoon. At 8 o'clock there is an excellent train. Your papers, visas, etc.. are in order?” ‘Tomorrow | about Sybil. the street. An hour later he was on the train for Bremen. Any one who has been jealous knows that jealousy may arouse the instinct of pursuit. It arises out of a pure feeling Y | of revenge, but soon becomes a passion in itself, the only one which succeeds temporarily in relaxing the insupport- able tension of passive pain. During his six hours' train journey Thomas no longer considered how Sybil's treachery had come about; he had no idea, once he had found her, what he would do with her later on. He thought only of his immediate aim; how to reach Sybil before the Columbia sailed, or how, on the following morning, he would get his necessary documents to get on shipboard himself. For the Columbia—this had meantime become clear to him—was the last place where he could reach Sybil. Should he reach New York eight days after her, she was eternally lost for him. Shortwell might take her to the far West, to Florida, to Brazil. Shortwell was rich. He knew the; country and had important connections. Thomas, who had less than three! thousand dollars in his pocket, with | his imperfect English could hardly consider pursuit. either tonight or be on board the Columbia tomorrow. He arrived at Bremen at half-past nine. Leaving his luggage at the | station, he took & motor car and drove | from hotel to hotel. Shortwell was not staying at any of them. Finally the driver advised: “You'd better go peacefully to sleep and look for your man tomorrow through the Allens’ Registration Bureau.” “Impossible, he is sailing for America ' tomorrow.” The driver pondered. “Then he will probably be sleeping on shipboard,” said he. “It's the custom here in Bremen. We have fine, large hotels, but since so many huge liners have been built there is not room enough. So rich people go on board sh!p. where they can use their luxury cabin.” From the moment when Thomas real- ized that he could not get hold of Sy on shore he felt something almost like relief. It was much better to meet her | on the ship, where she would already believe herself in safety—on the ship, where there would be no further pos- sibility of her escaping again. He had no doubts about his ultimate success in getting on board. He did not know how, but he would succeed. As soon as he was free from the immediate tension and he realized that he could not do anything further today he be- came so infinitely weary that he did not even get his luggage, but went to a hotel. Throwing himself on the bed in his clothes, he fell asleep at once. Toward 5 o'clock he was awakened by an intense pain. What is the matter with me, he thought with sudden fright, | and it took him some time before he | recognized this pain as yesterday's and the day before yesterday's—the pain Only in the deathlike AIR TRAVEL Information Reservations for all airline destinations EASTERN AIR TRANSPORT SYSTEM 808 15th Street, N.W.

He had to find Sybil | THE EVENING sleep of extreme exhaustion had this | pain been silent. Let us ignore the three hours which ! Thomas had to pass through before he !could do anything. Finally, at 7, he ! was out on the street. He felt hungry. \Yesv.erda.y he had eaten almost nothing. At the same time he felt disgust at the thought of food. He stood in front of the gigantic of- | | fices of the steamship company before | the doors were open. Then he saw the | huge oak door open and & uniformed porter come out to sweep. For half an hour he watched dozens of people enter \Lhis door to go to their daily task- clerks and girls of all ages. He saw| men drive up in motor cars, and among these men was one whom he knew. This broad, sleepy face upon huge shoulders surely was that of his school- mate Hermann Veith, the most intimate friend of his boyhood, who for five {had shared his study at school and who | was the best fellow in the world. A | thousand times Thomas had had the | { wish to meet him again, or at least to | find out what had become of him. | | But now he was merely afraid that | this meeting would causc him to lose invaluable time. He held his hat in |front of his face as Veith walked past | {him. He would never have thought it possible that he would try to hide him- | ell from this dear fellow with whom | his best childhood memories were bound | jup and to whom he owed the unfor- | gettable gift of genuine friendship. But this was not the time to think about STAR, WASHIN( such things. There was nothing which Sybil's treachery had not destroyed. Everything that was good in him had been wiped out. Attention, Thoma:; it is 8 o'clock. The ticket office is open! A cabin on the Columbia? Certainly. A first-class cabin is stHl vacant. Papers in order? Entirely so. Thomas | had his passport, his Pirth certifi- | | cate. ‘American visa, landing permit?” That's where the trouble is. “Can you tell me where I have to go "to secure a land! permit at once?” , Thomas inquired. The official shook his head with a slight smile. Doesn’'t the gentleman know what is needed? A visa from the American consulate and to get this visa you need proof as to the reason for your journey. That is to say, a business letter or, if you are traveling for a private reason— then you need a letter or a telegram from the American relatives or friends whom you are about to visit—letters, of course, in thflr riginal envelopes. “Listen to me,” said Thomas, though he knew quite well that it was utterly unreasonable to try to persuade this “I am invited by nobody in 1.

TOWN WANTS TAXATION SALT LAKE CITY, March 27 (P).— Boulder, Utah's only tax-free town, has voted to write its name on the assess- ment books for taxation purposes. The settlement’s twoscore residents devote their time to stock raising. It grew upon a tract of land which was excluded from a national forest in 1923 by executive order. The tract was ex- cluded when the settlers agreed to have ts:: land surveyed and create a town- p. The survey was not made, however, and the settlers—under the status of squatters—continued to live in their home® without paying taxes. Eli F.
