O—O It is to be hoped the railway employers and employes take a reasonable attitude in the conferences on pay increases ami that they avoid a strike or placing themselves in such a position that the government must take charge. Claims that the proposed demands would total from six to nine hundred million dollars are made. When it ia considered that the earnings of all the railroads in the United Btates last year was but ,200.OOu.OUO. it would seem there would have to be a rather startling advance in freight and passenger rates to meet demands. —o By a vote of 19 to 5.

ZiUSJPECIAI SERVICE” Parian !■ . ■

SYNOPSIS With war clouds in the offing, a special watcb is set on Marie Schuyler, current Clamour Girl, who is “doing" the Mediterranean cm her yacht, Sertot. surrounded by a suspicious set of "important" people. Chief of these is Felia Northeim, promoter extraordinary. Cooperating with the gay girl's guardians, the intelligence service unofficially assigned Tony Worth, a young lawyer, to safeguard madcap Marie. En route to Europe, he observed the sophisticated Baron* ess Lascar, one of Northeim's alluring aides. In the meantime, Marie ia entertaining Northeim; Marchese Nino Lippi, her latest heart interest; Ray Sheldon, an American playboy; Eve Pryne, wandering widow; and Major Eric Thelme, stalwart retired army officar. Kioto, radio operator, has just received important messages for Northeim. Marie takes her speedboat for a spin oft Corfu and it opsets. Worth, on a nearby quay, sees the accident, and swims to the rescue Marie objected to the interference of this stranger; but soon after Tony and Marie reached the quay. Marchese Nino Lippi arrived and there are introductions. Worth does not disclose just who he is. Friction develops between Nino and the American. When Nino left momentarily, Tony said to Marie: "Don't tell ms you're in love with that bird I" CHAPTER ELEVEN She stood a moment then, in the warm clear light, her hands in the pockets of the flaring pink coat, her bead slightly bent. "The way you said that sounded terribly familiar," aha murmured. “It bothers me not to place people." Her mind circled beck to New York ... to faces at parties and night clubs ... She had met so many men, but nona of them bad ever hinted she wasn’t perfect. Tony didn’t want her to remember. He said abruptly, "We never met—before today." She accepted that and walked on rather thoughtfully, with him bcaide her. Nirfb came rapidly toward them. He was furious at Tony for •ticking around. This time his manner wasn’t so suave. "I understood Mr. Worth wanted to get baek to his hotel and change," he said snippily. "Your boat was not damaged, Marie. Shall we go now?" "I suppose so," she agreed, without enthusiasm. She felt suddenly reluctant to faee all the questions about her adventure. She put her hand out to Tony. He took it in a strong clasp as she asked: -When may I see you againr Thia was what Tony had been waiting for. And Lippi, for all his Latin tact, played right into his hand. For to Lippi, thinking only of getting Marie away from this American, there was but one method of putting an end to the fellow's hopes. "Miss Schuyler is leaving for Cannes tomorrow," ths Marchese said, and eouid have bitten his tongue out as he saw Marie’s expression change. “Am IT" She turned back to Tony, her hand still in his. "Won’t you dine with us tonight?" she invited, snd it seemed to Tony that her eyes were urgent. "I’ll send for you st eight-thirty. Right?** Her lipa parted, euried. "Right," he answered fervently. Marie gave him one of her gay smiles; and jumped into the launch, without waiting to bo helped. Nino Lippi, before following, stepped up to Tony, his blond head thrust a little forward. "I advise you not to take advantage of Mias Schuyler’s Impulsive invitation," bo whispered. Before he left for that dinner on the Serena, Tony Worth packed his hags, paid his bill, and told the Hotel d'Aagietarro people he would probably send for his luggage in the course of the evening. Ho had made up his mind that once he got on the yacht he would stay there, no matter how he managed it There were only two questions which be debated while be dressed. First: Should be remove from his briefease the bulk of material Ed Keeler had handed him from the F. 8.1. Chief the day he left the United States? Tony decided to destroy the stuff. That done, he was in such a mood that he slipped his 42 into his hip poeket. The wisdom of carrying a gun had been the second question over which ho bad pondered. But wits, not a gun. were what bo would need ifiost in the eoming days. So be finally tucked the .32 between shirts in tbs suitcase. Then be strolled down to the quay where the launch from the Serena waited. ' Haas, the seaman who bad ran the launch that afternoon, was waitthg. 0a Mat respond to Teng's

pleasant comments on the silvery starlight over Corfu or the pleasures of cruising along Grecian shores. The man seas surly, and at seeming odds with the lovely night. The Nerews looked enormous as they slid under the glow of lights gleaming from cabins and decks. There was no visible life along her steep white sides but Tony, setting foot on the ladder, felt porthole eyes upon him during his brief climb. And his wanness increased. The Marchese had been ven much in earnest when he advised Tony not to eorne on board. Tb.cn the sense of being an intruder vanished. Marie Schuyler waited for him on the main deck, and she was unfeignedly gl»d to see him. "You’re a great relief I" waa her graeting. "You can’t imagine what I’ve been through since this afternoon." ”1 should say you’d spent your

time in a beauty shop.” Tony stepped back to admire. They took stock of each other. She looked very different tonight from the girl be had poshed around in the water. Her dark red curia were looped up and shaped around her wide forehead. She wore midnight blue, to match her eyes; her small waist waa belted with dull gold. Yet she seemed ehild-liko to Tony. In any one of a dosen New Yon spots ho could think of, she would have fitted the daeor; here she waa a child, after all, la a probable international drama of which she had no inkling. -You look rather nice, yourself ’• Mario commented, Hking the way his crisp Hack hair was brushed back, not too slickly, and the At of his white dinner eoat. “Listen. Before you meet the others, I want to tell yuu something.** She drew him to the rail. “Yost** They stood amidships. “It’s just this,” she began. "Please don't mind how Felix Northeim behaves tonight. Ha loathes strangers. I mean, I never dreamed he waa so unsociable until this cruise.” She sounded indignant “Northeim?” Tony repeated, as if he bad never heard ths name. Marie moved along the teakwood rail, her elbow almost touching his. “You probably wouldn't know him unless you’d been around the Riviera a lot” She lowered her voice. "He’s a sort of huge-interoste financier—a tycoon—who Just moves about on big business only—” “What business?” Tony interrupted with youthful enthusiasm. “Oh, international businaae deals and such." She was vague. “I don't really know. He's mysteriously magnetic and, of course, that fascinates me. I was most awfully flat-♦-red when bo suggested this cruise —I mean, he said, bo needed to get away from it alt But” —she frowned a little at the lights on shore —“he doesn’t seem to root much. And he was frightfully annoyed when Nino told him you were to dine on the yacht.” “I don't eee, under the circumstances, what bo's got to nay about whom you invito on your own ship," Tony remarked, wateaiag her closely. “That’s jut it,” Marts burst out "I told him so. 1 oven told him if he didn't like it. ho could have dinner in his rooms. I wish you could have wen the way he looked at Ml Ba
