KMiperate with those In charge '< make the |hh>l a popular place so every one. The pool has been r« built to conform with state boar< of health regulations and is nov ready. Archie Bobbitt is still in th« saddle as state GOP chairman bui the old broncho is bucking and h< won't call the hoys together an) oftciier than he can help. He may have sold his committee that h* acted wisely In refusing to com promise with the governor durlug lhe legislature but he will have a lot of trouble convincing the rank and fib- and those who anticipated Job*. Th< battle agahwn the AAA over the penalties on wheat talaed in excess of the quotas seems to be gaining and if sufficient farmers are In accord, the movement will probably be effective. The government wishes only to do what the majority of farmers want them to do as we understand it and will be glad to comply with the majority or consider the rights of a sizable minority. o—o War bet ween the Free Front h and the British In Syria is over with the British the victors and apparently with the French well pleased. The settlement will give the British more troops for the African area and a better chance m the east. Evidently the Petain forces don't like the idea of fighting with or for the Hitler forces. They have been enemies too long Io suddenly become- allies effectively. O O — But little Information has come from Iceland as to what they really think alMcut the tact that American troops have landed there to aid them in the defense of their people and protection of their Island but we have an idea they like it. Helpless without the aid of other and larger nations they know they have a better chance for continued liberties under the red. white and blue than any other flag that blows in the world br<-eze. o—o— Under the laws of Indiana minor* have "no business in a place where Intoxicating liquors are sold and unless ac companied by parents even those over the age of eighteen and under twenty-one. cannot loiter In such places. All proprietors have been so notified recently by the secretary of the Indiana alcoholic beverage commission. The idea Is that those under age- cannot legally visit bars or buy liquor* or beer and it's to be enforced. O—O—— Looks as though General Ben Lear of the second army. Memphis, got a little too uppety when he made 360 scddlers walk an additional fifteen mile* because some- of them had asked him If he wanted a caddy. The general was playing golf with three young ladies who wore shorts, aa the boy* pawsed. Os course they whistled and made a few remark*. To get even General Lear punished the whole regiment. Now It's In congress and then- Is a big atew about It. Seme things of course to be said oo each side. O O It is difficult and perhaps impossible to say what relationship various nations of the world will have, one with the other, after the world war is over but there seem* to be a general belief that Canada and the United States will be closer than ever.

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT The downward path led on toward* the lazy roller* that creamed i endlessly over black lava and gray--1 white eoral. Apparently overcome with »heer t joy, Nadia, in her native Ruanian, began to sing one of those quick, irresistibly joyous song* which the mnujtltt sing on feast day*. A few feet ahead of him she was striding along the path, drawing faint echoes with her rich contralto voice. "And how was that?" she demanded, looking back over her shoulder at him. The smile faded from her lip* when she read the expression on his face. In an instant that boyish, carefree look had vanished; like a man who sees his doom upon him, Hugh North was peering fixedly past the wall of rock which had concealed an amazing sight until this moment. Not half a mile away, moved a powerful alate-gray cruiser; smoke curling from her funnel* to cast a sinister pall over the smiling bluegreen waters through which she plowed. Majestically behind her came a sister ship, and behind her still another; each with a high scroll of foam under the bows. More similar sleek and efficient killing machines, six in all, sped into sight.. .xhe Jap fleet! Three of the battle cruisers passed so near Kauai that North could read their name*. HantM, Kiritfana, and Konpe; nor had the parade ended with the juggernauts; they preceded a division of swift and deadly little destroyers and a flotilla of twelve shark-like submarine*. Sharper grew the lines about Hugh North's mouth as he read aloud the numerals painted on the side of the submarine conning 68, 60 and 63 .. It wm twenty minutes before the last of the visiting squadron had passed on their fateful voyage to Oahu; twenty minute* in which the two stood in miserable silence. Finally Nadia said, "Let’s go up to the house, Hugh. I’m frightfully hungry; I'm sure Tsing has lunch ready.” After lunch, Nadia east a quizzical look at her wrist watch. ■’’••rly two o’clock, mon ehor, and >t 11 be hot awhile. Does a nap appeal?"

They're gone!” "Too bad,” cried North with quick ; sympathy. “11l got yon some more , first time we go in to Waimea." Half-closing his eyes, ho stretched ' again in the deck chair, and so apparently saw nothing of that sudden - pallor which had robbed Nadia’s 1 cheeks at color aa she caught up her blanket Crossing to the laaafe rail, 1 ahe started to unfold it "So you're going to sun it after all?” By the rail she paused aa if undecided ; then cast him a curious smile. "Can’t seem to make up my mind.” “You’re sure of one thing, aren’t you?” he queried tranquilly. "I am.” “Os that, always,” ahe nodded aa to herself. "Well, I've decided I’m not going to Bleep, Hug*.” She dropped the red blanket onto the matting beside hia steamer chair and seated herself on it “I want to talk, dear. I want to tell you, to explain many things—” "Don’t” he said gently, but a look of interest stirred in his eyes. "Let’s forget everything. Well pretend we’re dwellers in “‘rraiir Mill But he was startled at the earnestness with which she spoke. "All my life,” ahe began, "I have thought of nothing but what we Russians call the ‘Causa.• For its sake I tried to kill fa myself every normal feminine instinct—No, you must listen,” she said, when in pretest he tried to raise Ha haaZ "I have squandered, need this alleged d«p M».
