Elected to congress, the official should not for- \ • geUthat he told the people when campaigning that he wanted to be their public servant. The trouble with many senators and congressmen is that they try to “keep up with the Joneses” in Washington and live beyond their income, which is $15,000 a year for performnig public service. Such a nominal salary does not carry membership in! ritzy clubs and unlimited travel over the country. o- o .1 I ■ ' Our sympathies are’ extended to, Don Mollenkopf and Robert Eiting over the 'heavy financial loss suffered by them in the disastrous fire that swept theit place of business.’ Presumably the fire 7 started from gasoline (umes and withili an hour their modern building on North Thirteenth st regt was in ruins, together with a valuable inventory of farm ma,c binary and equipment. Insurance will soften some of the loss, but still the owners will incur a heavy deficit. Organized since the war, the firm out-grew one building and had expanded to the large,r quarters north, of city, ft held ah important'place* in the community arid ftiends of the partners hope the place will be rebuilt, everyone wishing the men the best jof in any similar venture they -may. undertake. \ , \ By his own admittance, Seri. Richard Nixon, who wants to be the next vice-president of the United States, needed money to live. I extravagantly. As. U. S. , vSenatdr from California, the" government pays him $15,000 k year.

SYNOPSIS Captain Mark Whirter conspires with two ruffians to etnbarass River Boat Captain Denny Rawls while he dines at the old Planters hotel in St. Louis The year 13 1864. In the Planters’ gay dining hail Kathleen Garrison introduces herself to Rawls, asks him to captain her cargo boat. "The Varina" to Ft. Benton, put Rawls already has a commitment. As they chat. Rawls* fiiancee. Astrid McQuestion. her father. Lomax McQuestion. owner of a great river fleet, and Captain Whirter. arrive. As Denny walks over to greet them, he is jostled and insulted by the two ruffians hired to emharass Hhim. He knocks them to the floor. Denny ac- 1 cepts old McQuestion's otter to pilot his boat "The Astrid" to Ft Bendon. Kathleen learns that Denny Rawls Is about to become the victim of a vicipua plot Conceived hv McQuestion and Whirter and that beautiful Astrid is part of that plot, too. I • . | CHAPTER SIX I i THE RAIN had stopped, but the skies still lowered. Rawls picked his way forward to the AStrid, observing the slowness with which loading was proceeding. Correctly locating the official ip charge, he introduced himself. “I’m Denny Rawls—captain in command of the Astrid. ■ Is anything the matter?" \ 1 ! Some of the sullenness and uncertainty in the man’s eyes seemed to lift at his name. “Captain Rawls, eh?" The shipping official ,shook hands Cordially. “I’ve heard of you, of course, sir. You .say you’re in command'of the Astrid f u "That’s right. I’m taking her to Fort Benton, with supplies for the new Montana mining camps." "And from all reports. Captain, you’re the man who can do it, if anyone can. Well, that makes it better. If you’re in command, I guess everything’s tn order.” His comments were puzzling, but Rawls put the matter aside as he met his crew and superintended the loading of cargo. His first officer was ’Lias Cannon, a man of whom he had never heard, but that was not surprising, and Cannon seemed competent. He had the look of a driven a cold-eyed map who appeared to know what he wanted and who would brook few obstacles tn getting it. But that did not worry Rawls. What did worry him Was the lack of opportunity to see Astrid. Everything seemed to conspire to keep him away from her. After days apart, he still hadn’t held her in his arms, kissed her. or had a

single word alone with her! He fought back an uneasy conviction that she could remedy that situation readily enough if she tried. She was the daughter of the owner, and from al! reports, Lomax McQuestion would do anything that she asked of him. What man wouldn’t, for the matter of that! \lt was mid-afternoon when Astrid arrived with her father, and gaily insisted that he come with them. Rawls needed no urging. Turning the loading over to Cannon, he entered their carriage. But to his increasing disappointment, they were not going to the McQuestion house, on a dominating point at the edge of town, but to another restaurant. There was more business to discuss with her father, and no time alone with Astrid. “How many passengers do we carry?” Rawls asked, rather sently. A “As many as can pile aboard, I suppose?” McQuestion shook his head. "No passengers, Denny,” he said. “No passengers at all.” Seeing Rawls’ look of surprise, he went on rather hastily: “We have a lot of cargo, and there’s trouble on the upper river, from all reports. I figure it’s too big a risk, both for them and for us, to be cumbered with them. So no passengers. That will save stopping at every town and farm along the way and the waste of days of time. Also, and mindful of possible trouble, we'U have a bigger crew than usual, Just in case." It sounded plausible the way he put it, though on second thought Rawls wondered. Few boat owners gave much ■ consideration to the safety Or welfare of their passengers, and there were always plenty who were eager to secure passage and run the attendant risks. They would pay enough to more than make up for small delays or Inconveniences. But that was McQuestlon’s business, and Rawls dismissed it from his mind. When he finally returned to the boat, the loading was completed and everything was tn readiness for an early start the next morning. Tired, for his foot still bothered him, Rawls went to his own room. He had been sure that Astrid would be down with her father the morning to see them off. But

again he was mistaken. Neither Astrid'nor Lomax McQuestion put in an appearance. Having delayed as long as he could, while mists cleared from the river and the sun came) booming out of the east, Rawls gave the order to get under way. He stared bleakly at the river as they pushed against the current, leaving the city behind. There was a pilot in the pilothouse, slated to handle the packet for the first few days, so for the present Rawls had nohe of that responsibility. Farther upstream he would have to be pilot as well as captain, What rankled was the hurt, the growing suspicion that something was radically Wrong. Unable to put his finger on what it might be, he tried to shut his mind to the possibility of disaster. These matters were trivial In thcmselvee, capable of ready explanation. If was better to believe that the reasons would be forthcoming In due course. Which, as a philosophy, failed signally to convince. ' ’ \ . Hid mind returned to his first meeting with Astrid, a few weeks before and a hundred miles up the river. She had bowled him over, swept him off his feet. Considering her beauty, the sWeet charm she had shown him, his own feeling was not at all surprising. But that .she should feel the same way about him was as bewildering as it was wonderful Yet love him she had, for she had admitted as much when" he had voiced his own feelings.' ' For days he’d had his head in the clouds, his feet scarcely on a deck. He’d been willing to come to St .Louis again because she would be there. Soberly he reviewed it now, step by step. The first false note had been Struck at The Planters. Why had she changed so completely in a few days? For here in her own town it was as though he talked with a strangerBawls staggered to a violent shock, clutched for support, then sprinted for the deck, as the Astrid, shuddering violently, came to a halt. No need to ask what had happened. They had hit a sand bar and were hard aground. (TO Be Continued)
