She certainly had courage, he thought admiringly, even if she hadn’t shown very much sense in coming over to that island alone. “I'd better take you back to shore, ‘Miss. Your canoe’s a wreck.

Her thoughtful fea- showed a maturity far beyond ‘years, a maturity of mind and which Rosalie did not have never would attain. But all in all he did not know ‘whether he liked her or not. She re Strangely beautiful, with the 1a da! % girl, Lut she seemed cold and seif-suMcient and not at all quick to become companionable. “My brother said he met you this afternoon when you landed,” eke broke their silence. “My name is Sonya Nichols.” Curt was surprised. Ralph Nich- ols’ sister! He hadn't connected those two at all. Sonya—wasn’t that foreign? It might be French or Rus- sian or German or anything, ‘but hardly: Canadian. Her voice, name and whole air were distinctly alien. He recollected himself. “Mine’s Ralston, Curt Ralston. A prdspec- tor.” She eyed him narrowly. As he felt her gaze upon him Curt knew she was forming her private opinion of him asa man. To be studied, labeled ad put ffito a pigeon-hole by her was a bit irritating. That was how Nich- ols the entomologist would study a new insect. “I wouldn't have taken you fora prospector, Mr. Ralston.” Curt’s paddle missed a stroke. “What makes you say that?” “Well, just because.” “I suppose [I’m not the sourdough type, with trousers stuffed into my boots and a laure] thicket on my face,” he explained with a casual laugh. “I’m @ book-learned geologist of sorts.

She seemed to imply that she had considered him above that carefree bush-loping type and that he had dropped in her estimation when she found he was a mere wit derness roamer. § he drove the cance along he wondered just who and what she was. Ralph Nichols’ sister, yes; no doubt accompanying her brother on a field trip; but those were mere surface facts, not explaining the girl herself. She was so full of contradictions that he could not classify her at all. She wore no jewels, her clothes were decidedly inexpensive, her rod was a cheap dollar thing that he would not have carried home; yet she had the gracious easy refine ment of good birth and culture. Back yonder on the island she had stood up to an ugly danger like @ man, yet she was exquisitely fem!- nine—by comparison Rosalie Marlin seemed almost unladylike. He wished he could stop thinking 80 unfavorably of Rosalie. “Are you intending to be here at Russian Lake. very long, Mise ‘Nichols? “We're leaving tomorrow morn- * Curt felt disappointed to hear she ‘wae going away so soon. Aside from her being a girl, she was a Person worth getting better a quainted with. The strangeness about her baffled and fascinated bim. She was like the breath of some rare perfume, delicate, unforgetable. Her old-world manner, the Spartan courage she had shown, and her splendor of brownish-golden hair, made him think of a girl out of some old Scandinavian saga. They drew near the shore. Some | where among the Russian ruins a horned owl’ hooted: its weird eight. noted call. Curt pointed at the dim outlines of the post and tried to make talk. “I suppose you've heard the wild yarna about that place, Miss Nicb- ols?” “Those ‘yarns’ aren't half as wild as the real facts. Father Lespérance ‘was telling me yesterday about the actual history of this old fort. You see, he discovered the records. They were hidden in a niche above the main door, and a stone tumbled dur- ing a thunderstorm, and that’s how he happened to find them.” While they drifted on in she sketched him a few high lights from the story. A hundred and forty years ago a tribe of Indians, the Kloso- hees, had lived around the shores of Russian Lake. The Cossacks came inland, eubjugated them by trick- ery, forced them to bring stone and make the buildings; and then began robbing. extorting. torturing. In @ single generation the Klose hees dropped from a tribe of four hundred people to a mere remnant of eighty, Bat then an avalanche fell upon the fort one night, au ave lanche of vengeance, which had deen damning up for twenty years.

EAN RUNS UNDER TIGRIS AND EUPHRATES RIVERS, OVER MOUNTAINS, DESERT By M. K. WHITELEATHER (sy Ansecinted Penn) PARIS, Nov. . 24,—Mesopotam- ian oil over which diplomatic bat- tles have waged, will flow into |Parisian automobile tanks within a few months, the French Oil Company, holder of one-fourth in- terest in the rich Iraq oil sands, has announced, The 531-mile northern branch of the pipeline from Kirkuk, Iraq, to Tripoli, in French-mandated Syria, has been completed and the southern branch—617_ miles—~ from Kirkuk to Haifa, in English- mandated Palestine, is nearing completion, Helps French Defense The pipeline to the Mediter- ranean runs under the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and over. moun- tains and desert. Two 10-inch dramatic circumstances and news that oib would soon flow from the Kirkuk wells was. welcome in France which has no oil of its own. Lack of the blue-black liquid hampered the French in the war and they have fought constantly since then to obtain an independ- ent supply as a national defense measure. This created bitter controversy among the ex-allies who wanted to | profit from the Mosul fields which fell into their hands as a result ‘of the war. Three American-Eng- \lish companies and the French {agreed in 1920 to share the oil equally but this only started com- plications for both the French and the English wanted the pipeline to end in territory over which they had control. The end to this dispute did not come until 1931 when it was agreed to construct two pipelines with one ending at Tripoli and the other at Haifa. Reservoirs Ready For Oil The Shell Company of Palestine and the Vacuum Oil Company of the United States have erected large drums and filling instru- ments at Haifa while the French ave been building necessary ma- hinery at Tripoli to ship the oil jto Le Havre. The French oil company is state jowned and the chamber of depu- ties is now considering creation of an oil monopoly. Until 1931, a half-dozen American companies half of all petroleum products she | limported. Since then, greater os have been coming from Russia and Rumania and Ameri-; 's share diminished from 53 ent in 1930 to 36 percent in 1932. .

His de- parture on leave can make little real difference. Under-Secretary Acheson been handling only some features of treasury administration, in- cluding the now-concluded war debt discussions. ing policy has been largely in the hands of others, including, prominently, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., who succeeds Acheson as Under-Secretary.

The administration doesn’t know yet how big the deficit, in- cluding recovery expenditures, is likely to be. The governmental picture is chan, pidly that department estimates of next year’s expenditures are next to impossible to draft. The delay in these estimates has put the house appropriations chiefs behind schedule in pre- liminary work on the big supply bills. The deficit uncertainty likewise has delayed greatly the administration’s liquor tax pro- gram, because officials didn’t they would need.

It appears now that the'vWemand for more and bigger appéintments will come to its climax after con- gress convenes early in January. If that climax lives up to the ad- vance notices, it will be a major treasury roster would be likely to do much except to further con- firm the administration policy of @ managed currency, already firmly established before the change was made. No Hesitancy Here The quick response to the White House invitation for a conference of governors and mayors gives a clue to the troubles local execu- tives are having. Many had about come to Mr. Roosevelt held out promise that the federal g: ernment would take a lar; share in the work. They came running. The Washington conference has, enabled many a governor and mayor to say to his ¢onstituents that the responsibility now rests elsewhere, Budget worries are coming capitol hill attraction, The politicians were only suess- ing when they read all sorts of meanings into Al Smith’s visit to the White House, Many people forget that public characters are human beings after all, and are expected to observe the ordinary courtesies.
