BUS FARE TOO HIGH, COUNSEL ! HAASJSSERTS Official. Declares rfuge Profit and Sale Values f Proves Point. Something should be done about Indianapolis bus fares—in the future, declared Corporation Counsel Schuyler A. Haas today. Reiterating his statement of last Saturday before the public service commission that the enormous increase in value of the Peoples Motor Coach Company property in three years and the substantial profit shown last year raises a question as to whether the ten-cent fare and three-cent transfer rate is not too high, Haas said he did not intend to do anything about it just how. Under the law the corporation counsel may petition on behalf of the city, for lower rates when he believes those of any utility are too high. “When a concern can spend spend $54,000 and in about three years build up bus lines to a point where they are worth $500,000, the fare is too high,”,Haas said. The Peoples asks $500,000 from the Street Railway Company, which seeks to buy its common stock. Haas argues that this price is too high. “A utility is making just too much money when, with a total investment of $54,000, including $5,000 attorneys fees, it can acquire $250,000 worth of physical property and make an annual profit of $67,000, as the coach firm did last year,” said Haas. “A. Smith Bowman, coach company president, is a good manager, and I probably would do the same thing were I in his shoes. But I don’t think the commission should allow such profits,” he said. Haas cited the fact that Bowman had been paid SB,OOO annually until Jan. 1, when his salary was boosted to $12,000. In the future people will ride on rubber instead of rails and there will be little more track laid by city and interurban electric lines with the increased hard surfaced highways, Haas predicted. REED PROBE HELD UP High Court Adjournment Is Bar to Summer Quiz. By DEXTER M. KEEZER WASHINGTON, June 9.—With United States Supreme Court summer adjournment, the Reed slush fund investigating committee went into eclipse, marking at least a temporary victory for those who sought to talk the committee to death by filibuster at the last Senate session. Senator King, Utah, Democratic committee member, said that Supreme Court adjournment would make it impossible to get a conclusive ruling before fall on the power of the committee to continue its activities. This power is being contested in the United States District Court in Philadelphia as a result of committee efforts to obtain ballot boxes In Delaware County wanted in the Wilson-Vare election contest.

RHEUMATISM May be relieved by rational treatment—it can not be rubbed away.

Are you one of those unfortunates who suffer with pains in your muscles and joints, commonly called rheumatism, making you miserable, less efficient, interfering with your working hours, ruining your sleep? You may have tried many things without relief. Why not try S.S.S.? For more than 100 years it has been giving relief in thousands of cases, as testified to in unsolicited letters of gratitude. ‘I suffered from rheumatism for a good many years. At times my joints would swell so, I couldn’t walk. I tried almost everything. Went to Hot Springs .... then finally decided to try S.S.S. I took a

WHAT HAS HAPPENED! DIANA BROOKS, beautiful daughter of ROGER BROOKS, owner and publisher of the Catawba City Times and a chain of nine other newspapers, had been kidnaped and then released. Her father is engaged in a persistent fight against the corrupt administration of Catawba City and through the medium of the Times, redoubles his scathing attacks on politicians of the Ring and defies the underworld. • Later Broks himself disappears and in attempting to locate him, DONALD KEENE, literary editor of the Times, and TEDDY FARRELL. Don’s ward and Sob Sister, meet with disaster in which Teddy saves her guardian’s life. Out of gratitude, he asks her to marry him. Although she is deeply in love with him Teddy refuses. Don believes himself in love With LOLA MANTELL, Diana's cousin. Broks reappears and finds that his newspaper stock is being manipulated. He suspects JOHN W. WALDEN, and plans to. fight. Don and Diana go for a ride in Diana’s motor launch. A squall comes up and the boat is tipped over. Don does not swim, but Diana saves him from drowning. They wait for aid in an uninhabited shack on a small island. As time passes, they find themselves drawn dangerously toward each other. NOW READ ON. CHAPTER XXVII A moment she stood there. Then suddenly turning, Diana ran—straight toward and into the shack. She greeted him cheerfully sometime later when he, too, came back to the little house among the trees. “No one here yet,” she told him, her voice singing in the cadence of a golden melody. Her eyes glowed almost black. But she played her part acting as if nothing unusual had happened. He stood before her like a shamefaced school boy, hesitating as though he wanted to say something. “They’re likely to come any minute now,” he finally said, picking up the corncob pipe and carefully filling it. For several minutes he smoked in silence. Diana was thumbing listlessly through a copy of a fisherman’s and hunter’s journal She glanced up after awhile. “Oh, yes, the fishermen, you mean,” she said casually and resumed her reading although it bored her fearfully. He threw a sidelong glance at her, drew in a lungful of smoke, expelled it and took another look. She looked as she always looked. “You didn’t see Teddy that night, after she’d dug her way out of th’ cellar, did you?” he asked, apropos of nothing under the sun. He had to say something. “No,” replied Diana, tossing the journal on the table as a token of her willingness to be sociable. “But Dinny described her and the hole she dug, to us afterward. Th’ darling kid! Dinny said she didn’t look like a human being that night in the drug store—all plastered over with clay as she was. What a glorious thing for a girl to do!” “Splendid!” nodded Don. a reminiscent glint in his eye. “Th’ grandest gesture I ever hope to know. Really Dia, Teddy is almost too fine, selfsacrificing, I mean. And she’s developed far beyond anything I had ever hoped for, too—mentally, physically and socially. You should have seen her the day I brought her home and turned her over to my mother. She was the typical gamin of the street at that time. She certainly has more than repaid me for the little I did for her—if I ever merited any repayment. “Funny,” he continued musingly, “the way she turned me down after I had asked her in the hospital to marry me. You know —I told you about that?” Diana nodded, smiling, thinking of what she had told Lola on a certain occasion in relation to Teddy’s refusal of Don. “But I don’t think it so remarkable,” she said reflectively. “I should probably have done just about the same thing. After all, Don,” she went on slowly as if choosing her words in some very important decision. “It would hardly have been very satisfactory to Teddy. She knows you have been making love to Lola, you see.” He winced at the barb ir. her plainly worded thrust, but offered no denial of its truth to avoid allusion in any way to the incident under the trees. At length silence again fell over them. The chirping of crickets in the trees close by penetrated the shack with their sharp metallic clatter. “I don’t know but what we might as well turn in.” He said it casually, matter-of-factly, as if he were addressing Bill Canfield or Dinny

course. In a short time the rheumatic pains entirely left me. I am now in perfect health, and want to add that I have tried all kinds of medicines, but I think S.S.S. is the best.” Earl C. Campbell, 115 West Main Street, Johnson City, Tenn. S.S.S. is purely vegetable. It is extracted from the fresh roots of medicinal plants and herbs and gives to Nature what she needs in building you up, so that your system throws off the cause.

Morrison or any one of the numerous men friends he knew. The situation, he realized was distinctly delipate and must be handled in a manner altogether impersonal. Then he addressed himself once more to the girl before him. “It’s late,” he said, “and the indications are that we shall have to spend the night here all by our lonesomeness, after all.” She made pretenses of suppressing a yawn in order to cover any signs of worry. She, too, must play the game. “There’s only that one cot, you know, Don,” she reminded him judiciously. “I know. But there’s plenty of blankets. I’ll make up a shakedown on the floor here. You go on in and go to bed, Dia. I’ll blow out the lamp and have another smoke in the moonlight.” “All right, Don. I s’pose I might as well—” She walked over slowly and into the little annex. She would lie down, she decided, without undressing. There was still the possibility of the owners of the shack returning that night and Don and she getting back to Catawba City. A wide shaft of moonlight fell across the cot. From where she was lying she could hear the gentle lapping of the waves on the beach and could see the silver-drenched trees outside the tiny window. The sound of Don hitching his chair across the floor in the next room brought her thoughts back to him. His kisses and her yielding to them out there. It must have been moon madness. She was wide-eyed, listening For just an instant she felt a trifle startled upon discovering that ho. had come into the little room. “You—scared me a—little,” she confessed and laughed, her voice low, throaty. “I’m sorry.” He was fumbling with the blankets. She looked at him, the clear rays of the moon revealing him plainly. “Listen,” she said holding up her hand, “to that silence. Isn’t, it really eloquent?” He avoided looking at her at first. Why, he could not have explained. Perhaps he was afraid of his own’ weakness. Then she spoke again and he turned, his gaze enveloping her from head to foot. The thin gown sheathed her like a pale film. Her neck, the exquis-

itely chisseled chin and the full, sweet lips swam all at once in a blur before his vision. “Diana,” he gasped, trembling, “you’re—beautiful, too beautiful!” He dropped down on his knees before the cot and his hand touched her face, her hair. Then his head bent and a sob shook him. “Don—dear?” There was interrogation in the low-spoken tone. He looked up. “You mustn’t act like—like this, Don,” she chided him gently, as a mother might chide her child. “You and I have—have been chums—playmates, ever since I was a baby and you were a boy of 11. You have told—told Lola you loved her and —and asked her to marry you. You* love her, don’t you, Don?” A close observer would have noted something in her voice as she asked the question—a slight tremor, indicative either of doubt or, perhaps, curiosity. Such a thing as fear, anxiety on her own behalf could have no place in Diana’s mind in connection with Donald Keene. She knew him too well to feel qualms of apprehension. He was just a boy, a boy with a man-size heart and passions in a healthy body. “Don’t you love Lola, Don?” she persisted. He had failed to answer her first question. He wanted to be honest, both with himself and with Diana. He had believed himself in love with Lola; had asked her—wanted her, then, to marry him. But— Don didn’t know. That was the truth of the matter. When he was alone with Lola, when he looked at her exotic, alluring loveliness, it seemed to him that he loved her. Did he really love her? Good Lord, what a mess! “Tell me, Don—do you love Lola?” Diana's voice was pleading, mournful. It might have occurred to Don had he been equipped with j a little more of that quality so com- ‘ mon to the male gender of the I genus homo, ego, that Diana’s per- j sistence had something more than mere friendly interest, mere womanly curiosity.

He, fighting for self-control, tried to answer honestly, fairly. “My God, I must be crazy! I —I— Oh, Diana, I—l don’t know!” he burst out finally. A flush of shame stained his cheek bones. His gaze drank in again the exquisite lines of the girl lying before him. Her gray eyes were like twin pools seen in the woods at midnight. She was sweet, desirable Then reason flooded back to him. It pounded its soothing balm over him and laved his hot, throbbing pulses. He rose to his feet. "Forgive me, Dia,” he cried contritely. “I’ve been a fool, mad, crazy! It must have been—” He smiled his old whimsical smile—"it must have been the moon or—or something,” he concluded. “Good night!” “Good night, Don,” she echoed. He gathered his blankets together and walked out of the room. (TO BE CONTINUED) Will Diana accept Don’s offer of marriage? The next chapter will show.
