“Aren’t you apt to miss the Orient?” Sandy asked. “Not now. Age reaches toward youth and vigor. These qualities belong to the vigorous Occident The Orient is old and vitiated.

We all feel younger in a young country.” Sandy nodded. “Ponce de Leon was right.” "Os course he was right. Fountains of youth in the Old World were long ago sucked dry.

But a master mind should not waste its energies on the petty details of living.

For instance, I love transportation by elephant. There is a npnse of majesty about it, and the sort of power you do not get fcom a mechanical device, as if the propelling force flowed from yourself with no conscious effort.

Meyers, a Greenlee backer, was named coordinator of the administration's safety program. Marshall Williams, a McKinney supporter, was appointed to the state tax board, and Earl Crawford, secretary to former Gov. Paul V. Me-1 Nutt, was named chairman of the 1 state highway commission. Townsend, observers believe, is I consolidating Indiana democracy | with an eye toward the 194 b presl , dential election, couviced that Me-1 Nutt cannot attain his purported i ambition to bo the presidential nominee but that Townsend might ' emerge as the vice-presidential l nominee. The Republican editors, heartened by a good turnout at their i banquet, demanded the ouster of 1 Burrell E. Wright as treasurer of the state committee They charged that he eutered a bi partisan alliance with Frank McHale, Intimate advisor of McNutt, which retarded the entire 1936 Republican campaign. Fourteen members of the state committee adopted a resolution ■ saying that the committee is “cap- I able of taking care of its own work and will do so, realizing that honest co-operation is necessary for i building a successful organization.” i But the open criticism of Wright probably will force a state committee revision before the 1938 cam-1 paign starts —if for no other reas-. on, simply that of the "party bar- ! tnony” which is the usual excuse for maneuvers which cannot be, executed if apparing to lie "under I lire."

There are two colonies of blacks, one by my reservation, Carlton Close, as I call the compound where I have thrown up a big bungalow of mud and coquina and the other at the far end where a narrow strait cuts off my detached section of the whole big island.” “My mother’s grandfather was lord of an island in the Greek Archipelago,” Sandy said. “His name was Allesandro Eleutherios, a second cousin to the king.” “Indeed . . .” The Colonel looked at him with interest. “So that’s where you get your black hair and indigo eyes and your Hermes of Praxitiles profile. Also, perhaps . . .” his own steel-blue eye* twinkled . . . “your ability to drive a trade even though inventor and man of science.”

“Possibly,” Sandy admitted. “A dash of Greek is as good as a dash of Jew for the combination of commercial sense with imagination. That’s where I got my name of Allesandro, too. At Yale they managed to squeeze ‘Sandy’ out of it. Not so apt.” “No,” said the Colonel, “It’s a far cry from the thistle to the pomegranate. Well, I am going from San Francisco by sea to Cuba, and from Cuba to Miami, and from Miami to Nassau, and from Nassau to my island, hard by. Curiously enough, the largest neighboring island has the same name as your maternal grandparent; Eleutheria. It would give us great pleasure to have you vis t us this winter.” Sandy did not miss the “us.” but gave no importance to the plural because he had several times noticed slightly to his amusement the Colonel’s inclination to the regal gesture. Unfortunately, however, Sandy did not realize until too late that the invitation taken in this sense was to be treated as a command if he were not to offend this uncommon personage by whom he had been so much impressed during the voyage. Instead, he answered with American candor: — “Sorry. Colonel, but it can t be done. From the moment I land in New York I’m apt to be living in a state of intensive big business until I don’t know when.

SYNOPSIS Enroute from Yokohama to San Francisco, Sandy Crewe, young scientist who recently amassed a fortune from the discovery of a silk stocking preserver, meets elderly Colonel Carlton, wealthy eccentric. The Colonel plans to retire to his island in the Bahamas. Due to stress of business, Sandy declines the Colonel’s invitation to visit the Carlton home and thereby offends the old man. CHAPTER II Some days later when the steamer was warping into her berth in San Francisco, Sandy realized the enormity of his offense. He was looking for Colonel Carlton to say good-bye when a cabin steward came up to him. “Colonel Carlton’s compliments, Mr. Crewe, and he asks if you will kindly come to his rooms.” Despite their friendly acquaintanceship aboard, this was the first time that Sandy had been asked to the Colonel’s quarters, which happened to be a suite. The imposing old gentleman had in fact throughout the voyage held himself as much aloof as royalty traveling en mufti, even with the ship’s officers who were puzzled about him He replied courteously to polite advances but did not encourage them. He had himself been the first to open the conversations that had followed subsequently between Sandy and himself, their chairs being side by side and Colonel Carlton interested in a new book the pages of which Sandy was cutting: Ouspensky's Tertium Organum which the Colonel had read and desired to discuss. But their talks had always been impersonal on the part of Colonel Carlton so far as concerned his own private life and social conditions. Sandy did not even know the Colonel’s nationality, though he took for granted he was English, because of an Anglican accent not strongly pronounced. Entering the old gentleman’s quarters now ho found him glancing through some papers while a steward finished the packing of his personal things. The Colonel glanced at Sandy with a pleasant nod and said:—“Here’s a book I wish to give you, Crewe. You tell me that some day when you find time from your money making you intend to attempt a contribution on a better comprehension of the Fourth Dimension. This translation from the Sanskrit help. Look through it at your leisure, on the train.” Sandy murmured his appreciation. But his eyes did not linger on the vellum bound volume. They had discovered something far more alive, a large photographic portrait of what announced itself to him immediately as the loveliest face that he had ever seen, and the most fascinating. It was one of a half dozen poses, the others evidently beneath and lying on a chair waiting to be packed last in a steamer trunk. “May I look at this breath-taking portrait, Colonel?” Sandy asked, "or are you orientalized to the degree of making that bad form on my part?” “Ah, my boy,” murmured the Colonel, sadly, “look as longingly as you like at the portrait, for that’s all the good it’s apt to do you since you saw fit to decline my invitation to visit me. Such a bid, like a threat, is something I never issue a second time. That young lady is my grand niece Isobel. henceforth our chatelaine at Carlton Close.”

Sandy’s eyes burned into the portrait. He raised it to look at the next beneath, a profile, the next, a quarter face, a full length in evening dress, each as it seemed to him more alluring if possible than its predecessor: — “Give me another chance, Colonel,” he begged. Colonel Carlton shook his head. “To quote your own none too gracious fashion of declining when I asked you:—‘Sorry, but it can’t be done.’ I’m a bit sensitive about some things, and one of them is the way in which my invitation to become a guest at our home happens to be received.” “But I say Colonel . .Sandy, completely englamored, continued to study the demoralizing beauty of the portraits, “. . . how was I to know that any such girl as this really lived and breathed and had her being in this bob-headed bob-

But re-invite you I shall not.” “I believe,” Sandy said, “you sent for me not to give me this book but out of a spirit of revenge. Offended pride at my lese majeete." “Call it what you like, the fact remains that you have missed your ’bus, my boy. From the way you’ve splashed I’m glad you turned me down.

Lewis Says No Senate Vote Likely Before Above Date Washington, Apr. 12. —dU.Pj—Sen. J. Hamilton Lewis, D., 111., seuate ; majority whip, predicted to Presi-1 dent Roosevelt today that the sen- , ate will not reach a vote on the administration's judiciary reorganization plan before July 4. It will be Juue, Lewis predicted, before the Supreme Court enlargement plan reaches the senate floor for debate. After the judiciary committee concludes the current hearing. Lewis said, a month probably will be needed writing a measure for submission to the senate. “Then," Lewis said, the matter will be thoroughly and completely debated. “It is probable action on the bill will be celebrated —one way or the other about the Fourth of July.” Lewis said that, unless congress speeds other legislation, the session will run into September. Lewis said he had a general discussion of the legislative situation. WORKERS BACK tCONTIN LED FROM PAGE OSEI denly broke off strike negotiations. Hepburn explained his action by saying there were “foreign agitators" on the strikers’ committee. He referred specifically to Hugh Thompson, organizer for the committee for industrial organization, which is sponsoring the strike. Following Hepburn's denunciation of Thompson, the strikers at a mass meeting unanimously ap“You must live in a constant mess,” Sandy said. “Isobel is not long out of a French convent school. She respects my wishes. Incidentally she is my heiress with no fortune of her own, so that if I disowned her she would have to marry one, and there’s nothing she’d hate as much as that.” “As soon as I can get my looms started,” Sandy said, “I’m going to buy a yacht and sail for the Bahamas. Would you forbid my landing, Colonel?” “No, nor your paying a formal call. I shall return it, and that would be the end. I’m not angry with you, Crewe, nor hurt in my pride. It’s merely that I shall not make an exception to my established precedent ” “Is there no way of getting back

where I was before I played the ill bred boor. Colonel? What would be the technique of reparation if for instance I had been guilty of the same offence to, let us say, the Sultan of Johore, or the Maharajah of Odeypore?” The Colonel’s steely eyes twinkled. “You might manage to square yourself, but it would cost you a rich cargo. But if your motive were the same as now, and it were known, an attempt to crash tha palace gates would be more apt to cost you your head.” “Well,” Sandy said philosophically, “my head’s no good to me without my heart, and that’s walked out on me. I’ll have to think this over. Good bye and God bless you. Colonel . . . and thanks for the bloomin’ book . . .” (To be continued) Cftpyritht 1931 by Mr». Henry C.
