Mrs. Saunders may have been crazy when she paid ten dollars to have her husband killed but why turn her loose to cause more trouble. Surely she ought to be cared for and the state should have some assurance that she will be. The French government has purchased the love letters of Napoleon Sons part to his second wife. We can't imagine what they are worth for after all they can't be of much real value to the modern suitor who will desire to do his own loving in his own way.. The city street force is doing its best to keep the streets and walks cleared but we are sure they will appreciate any assistance the residents can give along that line. It's a whopper job and will probably continue to be something of a problem the next several months. National Legion Commander Belgrano is opposed to a "bonus march" on Washington and properly feels that such a movement will injure the chances of the boys to get what they feel is their just dues. He proclaims such movements as unworthy of the ex-ser-vice men and due largely to communistic agitators. Confidence is returning so rapidly that there will be little need of the proposed billions of appropriations. A plan which will raise a good sized sum in the next decade to be used when another slump approaches is meritorious but we must quit spending vast sums of money which will keep every one poor for years to come. Business is planning to make 1 1935 the best year in a long time ’ and it will be for those who go after their share. No difference how great an improvement there is, the profits will not drop in the laps of those who sit still and wait. Go out to meet the better days.

CHAPTER XXXII The nurse let Kay in to see Pete the next day. She went into the narrow hospital room timidly, expecting to see him looking deathly ill, but was pleasantly surprised to see that he seemed to be resting comfortably and that, except for the bandages, which, with the I sheets, were startlingly white against his brown skin, he was much the same old Pete. He grinned when he saw her. "How's this for a picture?” he asked. At that, his voice did sound weak. But the grin won and Kay returned it, confident that he was out of danger. "Not bad,” she said. “You should have borrowed one of my negligees.” She sat down beside him. “Feel all right?” she asked. "I’ve felt worse.” “You wouldn’t fool me? It isn’t everybody who bounces a bullet off his skull,” she said. “No, I’m all right. They just won't let me romp around. Little ■ headache, I’ll admit.” - ; Plenty headache, she thought, but she said, "Well—why keep it a secret? What happened to you?” He looked at her curiously. “You don't know?” he asked. "No. What?” she said anxiously. Pete grinned again and shrugged his big shoulders. "That’s what cats tr.e. I don’t know. All I remember is I was walking up your drive when I thought I heard somebody in the bushes. I did a dive in and something went boom. Next thing I knew a nurse was leering down at me. Everybody seemed to know , something except me. I'm only the , guy that got shot—or so they tell I me. What did happen? Come on. 1 I can take it.” "Pete—l'm not trying to be funny. I don’t know what hap- ; pened. Nobody seems to. I heard the shot and went running out and there you were.” "You found me?” She nodded. "That must have been fun.” “It nearly scared me to death. I thought—” He reached for her hand. “Then | you do like me a little?” i “Well, I don’t want people shootI ing you.” she said. “Old Kay.” I “The police are investigating,” Kay said. Pete’s manner changed. He smiled wrily. “They probably won’t get far,” he said. "Why not?” "Because they won't.” “Pete, do you think—” “What else can I think?” They looked at each other solemnly. “But I can’t believe it,” she said. “I talked to him and—” Suddenly, she checked herself before she blurted out the secret that Earl Harrow was paying Pete's hospital bill. There was time enough to tell him that when he was up and well. Now it might upset him. “And what?” he asked, a calm challenge in his voice. "But Pete—it's silly to think it. Look at his position. After all—” "He warned me to get out of • town. I'd call that a threat.” “But Pete—he’s a big man. Why, it’s ridiculous when you stop to think of it. He has more folio than to go around having people shot just because of a little pique. I could believe a lot of things about him, but not that. Don’t you understand? Somebody has been trying to do something to him, those racketeers he had the trouble with probably, and they’ve been hanging ! about my house. When you came ; back to town and w'erc seen about, ' too, he naturally might have sus pected you had something to do with it because you didn’t like him—that’s silly, too, of course—but he’s suspicious of everybody these days. And in away, you can’t blame him.” “No?” Pete said slowly. Kay wished she knew what to say, what really to believe. It did seem inconceivable, though, that Harrow would have bad Pete shot. He could have, yes, but he wouldn’t have. The nurse cut their visit short. Pete was to rest, she explained. Kay left, no nearer a solution to this new mystery than she had been before. Once more she decided to confront Harrow. She went to the yacht and waited for him. When he returned, Spike and Wagner were with him. Harrow motioned them on, seated her where they could talk, and smiled at her knowingly. “There’s something on your mind,” he said. “Os course.” “How’s he coming?” “He’s in no danger, I guess.” "It looks as if he walked into somebody with a nervous trigger-

started the roud work and one day; In the course of digging uway a hillside along the road,» three of the men employed by the contractor uncovered wlu» l appealed to be the start of a promising vein. Nothing waa done with the find * then, but this year Switzer and the three men took machinery to the ! site and drove a tunnel into the I hillside. The tunnel now extends i 159 feet and the vein is partially; uncovered. The last assay showed 157 ounces of silver, 15 per cent copper and $3.50 in gold to the ton. I Another tunnel, about 100 feet I ■ lower, han been started by Switzer I and his three associates, Louis Pop-; plsch, C. E. Howie and Swan Nel son. Four miles from Switzer’s dig-' gings. at the head of latckawunnu Gulch, is another mine a proven producer —that is being worked by Clyde Balkwill, of Leadville, Col., an "old-timer." Balkwill works his mine, the Eu- ! deka, w.liich lies on the eastern' slope of the .pass, every day and avenages from $75 to $l5O of gold [to the ton. The mine still is in its | infancy and improves with each new depth.

finger,” Harrow said. “You must try to believe me, Kay; I’m awfully sorry, really. Especially that it was Pete.” “Why Pete?” “Because”—he smiled ruefully — “that complicates matters so. With us, I mean. They were bad enough before. You must hate me. I’ll bet you think I’m all sorts of a Mcphistopholes?” “I don’t know what to think.” “I’m glad you're frank.” “Someone has to be.” Harrow gave a little sigh and shook his head despairingly. “I’m no hard-boiled underworld king,” he said. “I’m really a pretty law-abiding fellow.” - “You’re really a very strange person, though, you’ll have to admit.” “The papers sometimes make me think so,” he said. “I read about myself and know it’s true, but when I look inside my own mind I seem as simple as they come—too simple sometimes for my own good. I suppose you saw the little piece yesterday?” “About the girl in France ? Carlotta Vestra?” He nodded. Kay wondered what to say. Trying to be as tactful as possible, she said, “She must be a very remarkable person.” “She is,” Harrow said seriously. “A very remarkable person.” He looked out toward the town, a mist of reminiscence in his eyes. “You were very fond of her once, weren’t you ?” “Very,” he said gravely. “I’m sorry then.” » “Are you?” He seemed to return to the present as he put his hand over hers and smiled. She was sorry then that she had said it. This situation was becoming embarrassing. After all. why should she pity him, and, pitying him, why should she be so tactless as to let him see it? “She’s getting a Prince,” he said, then let the remark remain suspended, unanswerable. There was a rather long pause, embarrassing to Kay, and he said, “It’ll be fun—a Prince.” “She's really a great actress, isn’t she?” Kay asked. Harrow pursed his lips, his lean handsome face reflective, and for a moment he seemed to consider the question judicially. “I don't suppose she is,” he admitted. “She’s a great woman, a great personality. A great actress though? I’m afraid not. But that’ll be our secret, Kay, ours and hers. She knows it, too. She’s vivid, has a marvelous voice, fine presence, a good, keen mind. But she’s more a personality than an actress. She’s Carlotta first and last.” “Is that her real name?” Kay a skpfl. “No,” he said. “Maude O’Halloran.” “She’s Irith?" “You seem astonished. Yes— Irish and Italian.” “What a strange combination.” Harrow smiled, began to laugh a little. “I’ve often thought so. Irish and Italian. He father was a painter. Never much of an artist, but a painter. Her mother was a singer. I expect that’s where Carlotta got her voice. She was bom in Paris, in the Quarter.” Kay sighed. “What an interesting beginning! What a life she must have had!” “You envy her,” Harrow said. “You needn’t.” “I? Why not?” “You’ve missed a lot of hardship already,” he said. “Well,” he repeated, rising, “she’s getting a Prince. Little Maudey.” Earl Harrow put his hands on Kay’s shoulders, standing behini her chair. “Sometimes I think you could go as far as Carlotta," he said. “And get a Prince?" she asked before she could stop to regret it. ■ ‘‘Yes, and get a Prince,” Harrow said heavily. There was an awkward pause. “Kay,” he said, “I wish you wouldn't think of me as—as whatever you have been thinking.” He leaned down and before she realized what had happened he had kissed lightly the back of her neck. » » • » Another day went by and still the Commander did not leave on its southvzard cruise. Kay went to the hospital in the morning and found Pete looking very much his old self and apparently considerably improved in just twenty-four hours. “I’m going to get out of here in a hurry,” he said, "and then it’s gvudbye Daytona Beach. We’ll be off for New Orleans and on down to Guatemala.” He saw the look of concern cross her face. “Kay—you know—” but he stopped and stared beyond the foot of the bed.

“What, Pete?” What were you H going to say?” I “Nothing.” I “Must have been something.” I “Just that I want you to make up I your own mind and make it m I pretty definitely before vou gn I through with our little plan. I I wouldn’t have you be sorry for any- I thing.” I Kay knew at the moment that she I should tell him her mind war by no I means made up, that she was un- ■ certain and perplexed about all the I forces now tugging at her and want- I ed time and a clear insight before I doing anything, but she felt that I perhaps because of his condition I this was not the best time to sneak. I Pete looked well; he looked cured; j but even a slight concussion could upset the mental and nervous balance temporarily and a shock, a quarrel x>r anything of the sort might not be good for him. So what she said was: “Pete, you’re about as nice as they come.” That evening Harrow called for her and insisted she have dinner with him aboard the boat. He was at last ready to sail, he said, and would have few chances to see her for a long time. It was a pleasant meal and « pleasant evening and Kay w a s more bewildered than ever as she sat on the deck chatting with Harrow and Spike, watching the moon rise over the eastern shore of the l iver. They could be two of the most considerate, most entertaining men she knew, and one in particular could be as attractive as any man she ever had seen. Yet she could not help thinking of all that had happened, and of Pete lying out in the hospital west of the city. At about nine o’clock they heard a motor down by the dock and saw Ida Campbell’s big Pierce come nosing up tn a parking place. “Well,” Spike said, to no one in particular. Harrow rose. “Excuse me,” he said. A man in a chauffeur's cap came aboard. “Mr. Harrow?” “Yes?” .“Mrs. Campbell would like tn see you. Would you mind riding back with me.” Spike and Harrow exchanged glances. "She didn't have time to come for you herself,” the man explained, “but she told me to tell you it was quite important that she see you tonight.” Spike chuckled softly to himself. Harrow did not hear him, but Kay did. “I’ve a guest aboard,” Harrow said, “and—well, let me see.” He turned to Kay. “Kay, would you excuse me for say half an hour. I’ve no idea what it's about, b :• Ida wants to see me. I know I shouldn't merely run off this way and "It's perfectly all right,” Kay said. “I’ll just be a moment them’’ W’hcn Harrow had gone, Spike said. “That Campbell jane gets in my hair. It’s just like her to pull a stunt like this. I'll bet she even knew you were here.” * Kay laughed easily. "Not that it could matter to me,” she -aid. "But I do wonder why Ida didn't come herself—” Kay stopped so suddenly that Spike's mouth dropped open. “What’s the matter?” ho demanded. “Spike! I’ve a terribly siii" idea. Maybe I’m losing my mind, but will you do something?” "For you? Kill whom?” “Call Ida’s house at once and a-k [ her—figure it cut any way you can, but ask her if Mr. Harrow’s tlw-r. Find out if shs really sent for him Spike's broad, battered seemed to widen and open with n’tonishment. He blinked his lit»i<’ candid eyes and began to scra'.iit his head. “Great suffering crocodiles,'' he muttered. He jumped up and ran down the plank. “Stick right where you arc.' he called over his shoulder. He was hack quickly from t'" nearest telephone and his face was grave. ~ “There wasn’t even any answer, he said. He ran inside and eame ou' ■■' Kelly, one of the two “mugg.- ” .“I ought to have my head examined,” he groaned, “letting hint get out of my sight like that with nobody along.” “I never saw that chauffeur lefore,” Kay said. “At first it didn r dawn on me and then 1 'realized how strange it was that Ida didn't coma herself.” .
