THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1933. oe 2OC00000S00 00S OCECODOORODAAOHOEDHEEDODEEEOOOOOEE Chapter 46 WHO 18 “FRANCIS”? ‘W. do you— Go on.” “Don’t interrupt me, please,” seid Lorn crankily. “It's very #im- ple. You see, when Tally came to consult me he’d just slipped on a wet street in traffic and got in- volved somehow with a taxicab and fiying glass. It wasn’t serious, he told me, but his face was heavily bandaged. That was, of course, fully six months ago, And Vve not seen him since.” “Where was that meeting?” “In New York.” “Was he the same general build as this man?” “Of course,” said Lorn impatient- Jy. “Do you think I haven't tried every test? I'm willing to admit that he may have deliberately got himself up to give me no definite way of identifying him again. But whatever was the purpose, the fact remains that I can’t tell whether this man is Francis Tally or not.” “But this man recognized you. Spoke first. Called you by namé.” ‘The scorn in Lorn’s gaze made itself felt though he was still in the shadow. “Have yon failed to consider\a possible connection between the Loyschiems and this man? Of their informing him carefully of everything they have managed to}, discover? In case—of course—he is actually not Francis Tally?” “No—" Ij, said slowly. “No— I’ve not failed to do that.” Several things returntd to me. Grethe’s sudden activity after that period of patient, cat-like’ waiting; ther ghe was not the girl I knew as Sue Tally. For when I said slowly: are you?” she replied: “Iam Sue Tally. I've told you twice to put up your hands. This gun is loaded, and I'm a good shot.” I stood there looking at her. She was of the same genera! height and build as Sue but lacked Sue’s fine- ness of wrist and ankle and deli- cacy of proportion. She was fair, too, and wore her hair like Sue's. She was even dresse¢ in a black velvet coat, like Sue’s. But she did not resemble Sue in the least. A general written description of height, weight, and coloring might have applied to them béth, but they were not at all alike. ‘Then a horrified question crashed upon me. Where was Sue? What had happened? Where had she gone? “You don’t want to shoot me,” f said. “It won't do you any good. There are too many gendarmes in the place for you to escape.” “They are drinkin. in the kitch- en. Paul likes having them there.” She spoke a little contemptuously, but her hard eyes did not waver from mine. “I am Sue Tally,” she reiterated, “and | want the paper you took from the priest's room a short time ago. Don't deny it, for I saw you. That paper belongs to me.” “Who O you are Sue Tally,” 1 said thoughtfully. “I had. suspected your presence for some time. Can’t we sit down and talk this over more amicably?” She did not relax her hold or the pistol and eyed me suspiciously. I went on: “Where have they been keeping you all this time? Hasn't it grown a little tiresome, dodging the po- lice, hiding here and there?” She bit her lip. I thought sudden- ly that there was something at the same time shrewd and stupid about her face. She said: “It was easy enough. All but; those nights,in the store room. Come, give me‘the paper.” * So: itiwas:she in the storeroom; t had not ‘expected that, even though I had ‘guessed that was about beet, ere, waiting (to |catry out dese, the conspiracy. is @ storerodm,” 1 Tépeated es athietically. “Zou ee! girl.

I don’t know about that. But I do know we could stand for a whole helluva lot more business in government. Here we are with a gigantic of people, and handling millions of dollars, operating in an age when conditions change so fast that anything can happen in twenty-four hours, and we only have a director’s meeting once every two years. They set up a budget, make ap- propriations, and lay down an in- flexible business policy and then turn the mess over to the business manager and expect the poor guy to make a profit and pay a lot of dividends with both hands behind his back and his feet in fetters. Then when the business goes to hell, the stockholders get up on their ear and rage and tear their hair, howlin’ for a new manager and new board of directors. They don’t seem to realize that it’s the system and not the personnel that’s all haywire. So no matter how hard the old board worked or how conscien- tious the manager was, they all get. the well-known sack and a rousing big ‘raspberry and we've got another “new deal.” The “new” board cgmes to meetin’ all full of pep, ready to set the ‘world on fire. They’re gonna clean house and no foolin’. They begin to look around to try and find out what’s the matter with the business, One guy goes down in the basement and counts the soap and if he finds a eouple of bars missin’ there’s hell to pay. Another guy gets out his arithme- tic and figures that if we'd get the: janitor a bigger mop he could cover twice’ as much floor: space with half the effort. So a new rule is’ passed controllin’ the soap problem and we get a bill forthe The’ directors came to, meetin’: with their minds’ made in) to get to the bottini of things. They're not gonna make the same mistakes. the .old board «made ‘so before they decide on anything they got to do a lot of eee and frettin’. ‘Then. the first thing you nb it’s time for adjournment and no- jbody’s done anything ‘atiout the overdraft at the bank or the mbft- gage on the buildin’. And the fact that there’s a payroll to meet on Saturday night just seemed to have slipped everybody's mind. So they find themselves against the problem of either continuin’ the meétin’ or goin’ on home with the job half done. © But contin- uin’ the meetin’ calls for a lot they'll have to assess the stockholders jagain, and that’s not so hot. The stockholders are all fed up on as- sessments and ain't interested right now in anything but divi- dends. Maybe if they'd put alittle more confidence in the manager! ~ and quit worryin’ abont all the little details, things would work If they'd just say: “Here, big boy, we're checkin’ out and we won't ge hack for couple| of years. Take this business and run it the best yon knew how. You're the boss now and you're 7| responsible. It’s up to you to get| j the results, or else, and remember| 61] we're gonna audit your books! when we get back.
