He could see it under the light, It was as plain as anything he had seen in all his life—a powerful hand, with spatulatée fingers and an old healed scar running from the lower knuckle| of the first finger to the root of the thumb. ‘He didn’t see Min’s carefully pol- ished grate with the dazzle of shav- ings and the small bright blue tiles; he saw Van Berg’s hand with the, scar on it, and he knew how the scar had come there. Out of all the things that he had forgotten he re-, membered this one—that Van Berg ad got that scar playing with a pet monkey. No, it wasn’t a bite. The monkey had got fooling with a razor. It was a clean cut. He had forgotten every- thing in the world, but he hadn’t for- gotten Van Berg’s monkey. . His head swam for a moment.: Then he straightened up and half turned, still leaning on the mantel; pS ce. He caught a curious look on; Neeta’s face, a watching look, bat! it weut past him. “ss Van Berg dead?” he said. “Rot yet,” said Neste. “Is he bad?” She shrugged her shoulds:s. “If he doesn’t die for a yea: \* day, they’chn’t hang-you.” °° °°’ + His voice cate at tier with an an+ sty tea.

The room had suddenly seemed crowded with used air. Outside, a light wet wind blew veetingly. Theré was rain in the wind, but it would not fall yet awhile. It struck damp and cool against his face, and he was glad of it. Nesta’s voice came from close be- hind him. “Where did you put the emeralds, Jimmy?” He turned blindly, pushed past her, and went blundering through the door and out into the street. ‘AROLINE drove to Marley, which, as the day nurse had told her, was only eight miles from El- ston. She found a charming little vil- lage with stone walls and thatched roofs, The thatched roofs were doubt- less a refuge for earwigs, but though Marley contained some six hundred inhabitants, with the usual allowance of cows, céts, pigs, hens and children, it did not, so far as Caroline could dstertain, conceal Mr. and Mrs. James Riddell, At first this made Caroline angry. A very bright color bloomed in her cheeks, and she thought of several things which she would have liked to say to Mrs, Riddell. Later on, while she was having tea in the prettiést of the cottage sirdens, she had a brain-wave. There’ were ear wigs in the thatch. She bad just fished the third out of her tea, when the brain waved and she wanted to know belo Era eran goed Was coniing to Marley when she ‘wasn’t coming to Marley. Caroline had, of course, taken the greatest possible dislike to what she described as that snatching wo- man. But even people whom you dis- like very much don’t as a rule tell entirely purposeless lies; so why had the Snatcher said she was com- ing to Marley? Caroline drank some of her tes hastily, becdtise’ she was ‘very thirsty'and she wanted to get fn be fore'the next earwig. She had a feel- ing that there were going to bé more earwigs, and sure énough when she put down Her cup there was one in the saucer, She thought very seri- ously: about: Mra. James Riddell. And the moré she thought, the leas she could think of any reason why she should have told that lle—un- less— ‘The “unless” was so exciting that Caroline felt quite dazzled by it. Why does anyone give a false ad- dress? Because they don't want to give a real one—and they only don’t want to give @ real one because they've something they're ashamed of or something they've got to hide, Mrs. Riddell had come and fetched Jim away from the Elston cottage hos- pital. She had said that he was Jim Rid- dell, and she had said that. she was going to Marley. Well, she hadn't told the truth about going to Mar- ley, so why should she have told the truth about Jim being Jim Rid- dell? (Copyright, 1983, J. B.

The preparations bear _ vividly. the mark of the disjointed times. i They give expression to the two distinct schools of thought divid- ing public men today. Administration leaders «go on !the theory that past political lines have been wiped out, that a new era has arrived, that the Roose- | velt policies will succeed sufficient- ly to consolidate liberal support behind the president for years to come. The opposition ‘bases its plans Jona belief that the present phase jis temporary, that a reaction will set in shortly, that current politi- cal dislocations will vanish like a bad dream, and the old days of straight-out republican-democratic warfare will return, | There is wide agreement on ‘both sides that whichever side \turns out to have guessed wrong about this basic consideration will (lose the election of 1934 and the {election of 1936 as well. Banking On Coalition Even many politicians do not yet realize the extent to which administration men are banking on a continuance of the demo- cratic-insurgent coalition founded in 1932, There is talk already of making jan insurgent republican Mr. | Roosevelt’s running mate in 1936. Secretary Ickes is much men- ‘tioned. Friends of Vice President Gar- ner are convinced he will. do his part to clear the way by. an- nouncing in due course that he will not be a candidate for re- nomination. Of course that is a long way off, but a current insight into Mr. Roosevelt’s independent state of mind is afforded by his. attitude toward the round robin drawn up by old-line democratic senators, | protesting that too much patron- age has gone to insurgent repub- licans, When he heard about it, the President called one of the sen- ators on the telephone and said jin effect: “I am perfectly willing to re- ceive a round robin—provided the senators signing it will march } disgruntled elements to stand by the G. O. P. Watson opposed the first Hoover nomination to the last ditch, and although he went along afterward there was much under- the-surface friction. If he should be chosen national chairman it would mean that the Hooverites had given up hoping for contin- uing control of the party. Eye Humphrey Case Big republicans are much inter- ested in the refusal of William E. Humphrey to resign from the trade commission. Back in the Cannon days, Humphrey was a re- publican power in the house. Re- ports are that Mr. Roosevelt wants to replace him with insurgent Philip LaFollette. The case, still simmering, in- trigues politicians because it in- volves so directly the Roosevelt patronage policy, as that policy bears on a democratic-insurgent coalition. CHAS. ARONOVITZ BACK FROM TRIP Chas. Aronovitz, of the D. Aronovitz Department Store, who had been spending several weeks in New York and other points in the north and east purchasing goods for his establishments here, returned to the city yesterday. Mr. Aronovitz states that while away on the trip that he made large purchases jn all lines, among which is the latest styles in ladies’ goods in pretty shades and pat- terns, besides a great outlay of shoes and other articles, which are up-to-the minute in every re- spect. Mr. Aronovitz states that con- ditions in the north have started to improve, and the people are becoming more optimistic each day. He says, judging from what he learned while in the north, many tourists during the coming winter, Key West and Florida will have | FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1933. waew ew ee ws JEWISH STORES 10 Home-Made Plane With Junk-Salvaged Motor (By Associated Press) PARIS, Sept. 29.—In a home-made lane with a $6 motor salvaged from a junk dealer Herbert Cukans, a Latvian reserve officer, hopes to fly from Le Bourget to Bathhurst, Africa.
