He waa struck by the intelligence and dynamic power of Karakhan. A man of forty, tall and commanding, he did fot look Russian at all; his handsome manly features had noth- ing of the usual Slavic broadn His dark eyes, staring straight i Curt’s, were smiling a faint sar- donic smile. Except for a lustful ex- pression about his mouth, he gave no suggestion of the crime trail that he had. tracked across two conti- nents. ‘The record contained several facts the Cossack and wiping that sar- donic smile off his face. Marlin stirred his coffee musingly. “Curt, I wouldn’t be asking this of you if the case was just ordinary. But it’s an international affair, and besides that it goes a lot deeper than merely capturing and punish- ing a criminal. You and I know that when some person makes a fat haul by theft or graft or shady deal, and gets by with it—we know what a pernicious influence it has on the man in the street. It breaks down his respect for law.” Curt saw the force of the argu- ment, but it did not move him. Mo- ments ago he had made his decision. He would not take the job. He was going back down north. “I'll think about it, A-K,” he said evasively, “and—uh, let you know.” A-K shrugged his shoulders, the only show of his bitter disappoint- ment. He knew that Curt was re fusing him. hy a way he did not blame Curt, Those seven years had been harsh years, a big fraction of a man’s lifetime; and he thoroughly under- stood Curt’s wish to go north again, His year down there had been happy,.and he had richly deserved it. Yet, the refusal hurt. Not only be- cause he had been banking heavily :] works, money,” he said, “Soak up all the sociability you can,” said Smash. which Curt had not known at all. Karakhan was a Don Cossack, born of the lowest muzbik parents. Join- ing the army.atan early age, he robe by sheer brilliance and became a colonel in. the Imperial Guard at twenty-five. * Ab-an aide to General Sukhom- Umov, he had raked in his share of Sukhonilinov’s war graft during those times when the Russian armies were Struggling pitifully in the Galician swamps, with Luden- dorft's gray hosts in front of them and traitors in the high places be- bind. “We got that data trom the Soviet G.P.U.,” A-K explained. “They want him as badly as we do. You éee, his game in Vantonver was to pose as an agent of the Soviet foreign trade commission. With his Russian back- Bround 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.

As he looked out into the sun- aplashed court, Curt feit'a challenge in pitting bimeelf against this inter. national crimmal! who had outgen- eraled the police of half a dozen na- tions; and he was proud that the heads of the Mounted should have turned to him, an outsider now, ‘when all other recourses had failed. Personally he despised Karakhan with a tinge of loathing; and in fancy he imagined himeelf nailing on Curt to get Karakhan, but be cause it showed him so clearly that Curt had changed a lot since his Police days. He appeared uncertain of himself, wavering between the careless selfish freedom of his new life and the earnest responsibility of the old. A 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 to tee 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 & son to him as Rosalie, of his own flesh and blood, had been a daughter. At a familiar, voice speaking thetr names, he and Curt looked around.

We'll talk this over later, A-K.” In their room that evening Smash paused in his whistling to inquire, “You and Rosalie stepping out to- night, Curt?” Curt turned from the north win- dow. “Yes.” “That's the time!

CATE WITH BOARD RELA- TIVE TO NEEDS IN MATTER’ By HERBERT PLUMMER (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.— When President Rooseveit, in his “third report” to the country, ex- tended an invitation to home own- ers in distress to wire or . write Washington of their plight, the re- sponse was tremendous. Almost immediately messages began to pile up at the Federal Home Loan Bank board. Only a few days had passed when 500,000 | months later. | home owners, faced with the threat | ~- with the board. These half-million applicants have asked for financial aid to the total of a billion and a half dollars. * In the same address, the presi- dent issued another invitation. “fhe balance of the public “nearly all of it‘intended for state or local projects, waits only on the presen- tation of -proper projects by the states'/and localities themselves. Washington has the money. and is waiting for the proper projects to which to allot it.” This phase of the public works program evidently was singled out by the president.for the reason that funds are going out slowly. Explaining The Delay Those who have watched the sit- uation from the outside as well as experts in the PWA, believe there are several reasons for the delay. They are able to put their fingers on a few. There may be others. For one thing, a lot of states and localities not yet have been brought around to believing that higher taxes through the floating of new bond issues is the way to recovery. Also, there are states which have legal as well as financial restric- tions in accepting PWA offers. Secretary Ickes has said he wants all applications: in by January 1. In. view. of this, therefore, some of the states have abandoned efferts to remove legislative barriers, The survey and planning costs of proposed projects form another stumbling block to some. These must be finished before actual con- struction can begin. And while the government has money for this purpose as yet there has been found no way to apply it locally. ‘Minority Control’ Opposition has been expressed in some instances because the fed- eral government, which contri- butes only 25 percent of some ex- penditures, insists on rigid control of that particular project. Labor costs play their part, too. Mariy of the states have insisted that no work can be done as long as Washington insists all killed labor must be paid at the rate of $1.10 per hour. It has been complained also that Washington refuses to put some money in the communities by relpasing funds for the pur- chase: of: materials. even though matetials:.so purchased would go into construction-when the project got under way. » hese’ are a few of the reasons advanced for the delay which is throwing the recovering machin- ery out of gear.
