But how'd he make his getaway from the cabin?” Be O'MARA lighted a cigarette motitatively, “He got his gun on a neat play,” said quietly; “I'l! give him credit “Yes; it is!” Buck O'Mara broke 4a, his volce gone suddenly hard. “Only I don’t want to talk about ft. ‘You fellows got your orders trom the rest of the night?” where the revenue oirds are tonight, so that’s jake. We've got time enough before daylight to get the goods off. Then we put the crew to bed in the hold with the hatches on and sink the schooner.” He chuc- kled. “Ever hear of ships begng lost at sea with all hands, and never heard of no more?” “All right,” said Buck O’Mara tersely. “That's your and Heimie’s end of it. Remember what I told you about tomorrow’ night. ‘There'll be a juicy cut in this for all of us. The Mask’ll pay bigger for tonight than he ever did before even if there ain’t a case landed. That's all just velvet. It was Dollaire he was after—and we all know why. Smudge, get my mob together, and take us ashore.” “That listens good to me,” said Geordie Napp. “But, say, Buck, what do with Benny? He sure was one swell guy, and he deserves a swell funeral.” Buck O’Mara lifted his shoulders in an important shrug. “A parade, you mean,” he said. “with the papers asking where the corpse was found and who did it? Think it out for yourself, Geordie. 1 don’t like it any more than you do, but he'll have to go with the rest.” “That's tough,” muttered Geordie Napp; “but—well, I guess you're right, Buck.” “It isn’t a guess,” said Buck. O'Mara. “Good luck, you fellows. Let’s scram, Smudge. Come on, Clarkie.” Blood was trickling hotly down Colin’s hand as he boarded the motor cruiser. He saw Buck O’Mara and Smudge Kilrea enter the wheel house, then he made his way down into the cabin, where the rest of Buck O’Mara’s murder squad were gathered, He took off his coat and rolled up a blood-soaked sleeve. It was a flesh wound, no more than that—nothing serious about it except that it had been bleeding profusely. Somo of the mob put a rough bandage on for him, They asked no questions. This time he felt physically a little giddy, @ little nauseated. He went up on deck again. co boat was speeding for the shore. The wind whipped his face. The faintness passed. There was but little pain in his arm— Scarcely enough to make him con- scious of it. It was not his arm, it was his brain that torturea him. And, fight against it as he would, the night with its scenes and sounds of unbelievable horror kept passing ¢gain and again in review before him. Only one thing stood out in com- pensation. He must inevitably have grown in Buck O’Mara’s estimation s-and Buck O'Mara was the one man now on whom he was depend- ing to bring him-into,contact with id }the Mask. How, or where, he dic A wharf showed up out of the darkness; a house, still more shadowy, loomed up beyond. And then a light appeared suddenly in one of the windows of the house— and went out again, Buck O'Mara came out of the wheelhouse as the boat drew up to the wharf. “You go back in the same car you came in with me, Clarkie,” he said. “I'll drop you somewhere in the city. Stick around.” “ “Thanks,” said Clarkie gratefully. The mob debarked, and Buck O'Mara dismissed them at the shore end of the wharf, “Wait here for me, Clarkie,” he instr cted. “I've got to go up to the house for a minute.” In the blackness Colin could see little—only the vague outlines of | the wharf and house. He heard sev- eral cars depart. He heard the motor cruiser start away again—to assist the other two boats presumably in emptying the Alouctte’s hold. Per haps ten minutes passed, then Buck O’Mara came toward him through the shadows, Buck O'Mara was grumbling and cursing audibly to himself. “Anything wrong, Buck?" Colin inquired solicitously. “Yes,” growled Buck O'Mara. “You heard Benny and me talkin; about Spinelli, didn’t you? Well, he’ in a jam all right. He's got to hav some kale tonight for his fixer. It's Heimie's racket, but nobody's been able to connect with him, so I gueas TN have to take it on—and It looks Uke you weren't through with your Job yet tonight either.” “That's all right by me,” declared Colin cheerfully, (Copyright, 198%, Frans L.

That Blow, For Instan It all started when the Atlantic coast was swept recently by a tropical hurricane. [Hn a letter to Secretary Wallace, the senator pointed out that the weather bu- ireau said that on Sunday of that iweek the weather would be fine. As a matter of fact, said Kea: “it. rained Sunday afternoon and the wind started to blow a gale.” He added that he had been told | that the weather bureau did not get enough reports from ships at! sea. “I must point out,” he gravely warned Wallace, “there has, been quite a loss of life and also great damage to small pleasure craft owing to the inaccuracy of ins formation provided by'you,” |, 4 So here anyway, is one sort of |republican criticigm ‘efi thé “new deal.” Fk ~ LEGALS SOURT OF THE COUN MONROE COUNTY, ’ OF FLORIDA.

Scccccccccvescucecescess WHAT'S WHAT at the CAPITAL eoccccccccescocccccccscs By HERBERT PLUMMER (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, September —Political observers here are ask- ing themselves—now that Texas has joined the repeal parade—! whether or not Morris Sheppard’s uncompromisingly dry views might some day bring him to a political Waterloo. The gray-haired senator, who} takes such pride in the title so often bestowed on him as “the! father of prohibition” because of his co-authorship of the eighteenth amendment, has just seen his one| state repudate the pride of his long legislative career. Perhaps no man in congress has: fought harder for anything than has Sheppard for the eighteenth amendment, It has been a fight he has waged relentlessly in congress for more than 20 years. He believes in his cause as strongly today as he did the P. and O. S. S. company would be here. Mr. Jackson did not arrive until this morning, from Tampa, on the Havana Spe- cial via Miami. TEACHERS WILL - MEET TOMORROW Prof. W. C. Duncan, head of the Harris and Division street schools, announces that there will be a meeting of the Harris school teachers at the school house to- morrow morning at 9 o’clock. The teachers of the Division street school will assemble at this institution at 10:30 o’clock. These meetings will be held pre- paratory to the school term which begins on Monday morning.

Especially do we thank Dr. Wm. R, Warren, Benjamin and Warren Sawyer, and the donors of the beautiful floral offerings. We assure one and all that their kindness will never be forgot- ten, CAPTAIN WILLIAM I. JACK- then. He emerged from defeat in Texas with “fresh hope,” he said, and with confidence, Breasting Many Storms Just as there are those who be- lieve that when he comes up for reelection in 1936 the seat in the senate he has held since 1913 may be taken from him, so there are. others equally insistent that he will weather the storm once more, He has done it before, the lat- ter point out, and under conditions as adverse if not more so those he now faces. Many thought his political de- mise was certain back in 1928 when he supported Al Smith for President. Texans flocked to the Hoover banner literally by the thousands in that presidential campaign and the state went re- publican, Sheppard, however, is a loyal. democrat and stood hitched te the party post. He campaigned for Smith, arguing that _ prohibi- tjon was not a political issue and that the party’s candidate was de- serving of support. He was returned to the senate in 1930 by a tremendous majority without making a single campaign speech, Didn’t Faze Him When the Garner-for-President, boom started before the demo- cratic convention in 1932, Shep- pard came out wholeheartedly for his fellow Texan, He knew that SON, EARL JACKSON AND MRS.

Few Danish families now have more than one or two children. Fifty years ago, 254 out of each 1,000 wives had, children ‘while today the ratio is only 87 for each 1,000, In some sections, schools — of the first form have been closed because of the scarcity of prim- ary pupils. take a Total valuation of prdperty in Utah for assessment purposes was -decreased more than $48,000,000 ‘or 8.4 percent for 1933. a voted consiétently in take of en- forcement. Just before the convention, Gar- ner came out strongly against prohibition. Sheppard took it smilingly, again said that prohibi- tion was not a political issue and continued to support Garner. Gar- ner got the vice presidency on the ticket with Roosevelt and on a platform that called for repeal. The senator again stood hitched, even making speeches for the democratic candidates. His friends say that many a man would have lost out long ago under such reverses. 666 LIQUID, TABLETS, SALVE, NOSE DROPS Checks Malaria in 3 days, Colds first dey, Headaches or Neuralgia in 30 minutes, FINE LAXATIVE AND TONIC Most Speedy Remedies Known.
