Those who have a business, know it. watch it and advertise it, will find their sales largely increased this year. if they keep on finding people who have seen Hauptmann, someone is going to inquire seriously i how he could get away with it so! long without any one reporting the | matter.

There is usually considerable ' j bluff in these matters of state and ■ •’ right now, more than ever, because the people are sick and tired of t war and every thing that goes with i it and building an army to fight j with, is not as easy us it was twenty years ago. . t James D.

And now it is said the government will not permit any more of these attempts in land pianos, leaving Amelia with the record of being the only per ! son to have made the Hight alone in a plant) that would have sunk immediately hud she been forced down. Everywhere the Democrats, better organized than they have been |

for fifty years, are militant and agI gresslve. They are engaged in building up their political machines in States which have heretofore p been Republican strongholds. All | reports seem to show that the Rej publicans lack leadership and in I most instances show little dtspo- ' Bition to put up a tight, even when t 1 it comes to asserting their rights. • Not since the close of the Civil ‘ i War has the Democratic party ! been more strongly entrenched ; than it seems to be today.—PortI I ! land, Me., Press-Herald.

It is heartening to read that in 1934 its tolls increased 13.8 per cent over | 1933 and 23.8 per cent over 1932. The tolls were just short of those of 1931, which was not at all a bad ' year for canal business; slightly I better than 1927, indeed. Last year I 5,312 vessels passed through the! canal, considerably less than the ! record number of 6,456 established jin 1928. Ships are tied up when 1 there is no commerce to support' them.

SYNOPSIS | Tired of the smugness and restrictions of civilization, Mark 1 Talbot books passage on the S.S. ' "Orient” hoping to find the adven- 1 ture he craves in travel. His broth- 1 er, John, pleads in vain with him to remain home and settle down. ' At the dock, Mark’s attention is 1 drawn to an attractive girl who 1 stares at him in a hostile way. 1 Next day, Mark goes from deck to 1 deck in search of her. He finds the girl in the steerage, the same ex- | pression of helpless rebellion | against something or someone on • her face. Mark learns from the 1 i captain that her name is Vanya 1 Prokovna and that she is being de- 1 ported from San Francisco to Honolulu. Mark tries to converse l ■ with her but she requests him to 1 1 leave her alone. I i CHAPTER IV By late afternoon the waves were ' ! racing down on the ship like gray- ' green mountains, and the decks 1 ’ were practically deserted. Mark 1 sat at his table alone for dinner; 1 i he noted with vicious satisfaction i i that neither the lyrical Professor 1 ! nor the talkative blonde miss and . her mother appeared. He ate a : I heartier meal for their absence. ) “Wonder how Vanya’s holding 1 up,” he thought. “I don’t envy her ' cooped up in that stuffy hold.” After dinner he descended to the 1 steerage, merely, he told himself, : to satisfy his curiosity. A bare.handful of Chinese chattered in their cu- 1 rious language, seated along the ' wall. Vanya was nowhere to be seen. He noticed a China woman with a i young baby, the same one who had 1 sat next to Vanya on his first visit 1 to the steerage. “Where is the white lady?” he ' asked. No answer. The stolid face stared 1 at him unwinkingiy. Mark grinned, and drew a silver half-dollar from his pocket. ■ i “Where is the white lady?” he re- 1 peated. A bony hand reached for the coin. “No feel good. Inside,” replied the 1 woman, gesturing toward the cell- : like row of rooms whose doors ; banked the inner wall of the steer- 1 age. “Well! That’s a satisfaction!” grinned Mark to himself, as he returned to his own stateroom. “My three shipboard acquaintances, a hundred per cent under the weath- i er.” i Nevertheless, the memory of Vanya’s pallid, rebellious features was ’ anything but a satisfaction to him. In spite of himself, he felt sorry for ’ her. He rang for the steward. "After the way she acted, too!” he chided himself. “What’s the thing to do formal de ' mer. Steward?” he asked as that official responded to his ring. The steward looked at Mark ■ sprawled easily iu his chair, purling a cigarette. “Why, sir, generally we serve black coffee or orange juice. But, i sir, if I may say so, you don’t look—” “Not for me,” said Mark, smiling. “Take some down to Miss Vanya—” ' What was her name?—“Miss Vanya Prokovna in the steerage, with my compliments.” The steward’s face remained im- ■ passive. It was no less impassive when he returned ten minutes later with a tray holding a pot of coffee ' and a beaker of orange juice. “I beg your pardon, sir, but the i lady returns the order without her compliments.” Mark surveyed the tray after the steward’s departure. “That’s the last straw!” he muttered, “To the Devil with her!” Honolulu By mid-morning Oahu was visible 1 as a gray point on the horizon, and Ic e l w< ? rld - famous J le P er ’Bland ] appeared utoiue it. Right between the two steamed the . fJnent, rounding Oahu toward the Honolulu side of the island. 1 | Landing day! Mark watched the

great ocean heaving in long swells, last reminder of yesterday’s blow; but the sickening rolling and pitching of the ship had diminished to a degree endurable by moat of the passengers. The port rail was lined with passengers staring at Molokai, at the little white cottages of the unfortunates who made up, save for a few nurses and doctors, the island’s entire population. Mark gazed with the rest, feeling a distinct pity for the afflicted ones bound to so narrow a life. Spring Brook had seemed unbearable to him; what must be the lot of those forced to spend their entire lives in the confines of a tiny Pacific island? By an hour after mid-day, the great liner was entering Honolulu’s harbor. The decks were thronged; ■ the Hawaiian metropolis was the destination of many of Mark's fellow passengers, and practically all of the rest were going ashore. Mark himself was leaving the vessel there; from that point, he had decided, the infinitely varied world of- - South Seas lay before him, or at will, the equally polyglot world • of Asia and the Far East. Mark went down to his room to finish his last minute packing. He was traveling light, and found com- i paratively little to do. However, i when he returned to the deck, the 1 Orient had already docked, and the majority of those who were going ashore had departed. < Mark gazed at Honolulu, outpost : of America. He saw a thoroughly 1 modem city; trucks rumbled along the water-front, street cars clanged ’ in the distance, and bales of sisal 1 and hides, bags of coffee and sugar, 1 cases of pineapples, lay piled in or- 1 derly rows along the docks. For ail outward appearance, save for the 1 exotic odors, and the curious trees ' that lined the more distant thor- I oughfares, he might never have left 1 San Francisco. True, the dock laborers were mostly Chinese, but 1 even that would be scarcely a nov- < city on the West Coast of the United - States.. < tipped the ship employes still ' lined before the gang plank to bid J farewell to their late passengers, ’ and descended to the dock. A brisk Chinese youth appropriated his ' hand luggage, and he moved down the wooden way. i Halfway along a Chinese woman 1 was tal , kjn ,ff t 0 « man of the same race; Mark noticed a baby in her ' arms, and recognized his ac- ’ quaintance of the steerage < “Hello!” he said. “I thought you < were bound for Canton.” . T ll e , of Vanya, whom he 1 had deliberately put out of his ! mind, rose again at the sight of the 1 woman. d s °“ cc “ s:r ‘ here,” she grinned. ’ Igo see. Boat wait here one day." ’ mJ?
