She shrank from his touch and sprang past him into the outer room. “Now, I think I’ll go—" “Listen here—” Walden's vonce was thick and he swayed slightly as he sprang after her. Diana was trying the door. “And you’ve locked it—just like a regular villain i na regular melodrama,” she said, with a supreme contempt. “Correct!” He grinned mockingly at her and went on, with an attempt at facetiousness. “Thash wsat I am—bold, bad villain. But it isn’t complete; th’ lady ish slightly tarnished!” Diana’s face went white from rage. “You’re a contemptible pig!” she cried, her eyes almost black. "Nosh a pig—noshing cont*mp’ble.” There was an evil leer on Walden’s mottled face. He continued: “Might fool y’r ol’ man; might fool lossa people—can’t fool John Wald’n. Yuh shtayed’n islan’ all night ’lone wish Keene—damn ’im! You think you—” His insulting language was interrupted suddenly and unexpectedly. Diana’s tightly clenched fist shot out. There was a resounding smack as it came in contact with his cheek. He recoiled with a snarl. “You’ve got—to—take that—back, John Walden!” The girl spoke with a choked utterance. Tears—impotent tears—born of Inarticulate rage, half blinded her. He cursed, nursing the cheek she had struck. “I’ll be damned 'f I take it back! You mean ’t shay y’ deny Keene didn’t—” “You beast! You filthy beast!” He stopped short at the whip-like declamation and stared at the girl. She went on swiftly: “Os course I shall not discuss my affairs with you. I don’t consider you of enough importance. You are low and vile. If Donald Keene had heard what you just said he’d kill you just as he’d kill a poisonous snake!” He continued to stare at her stupidly. She went on with her denunciation. “Neither Don nor I would or could be capable of the indecency you’ve been guilty of here. And you profess to be a gentleman.” “But, Diana, listen.” He appeared to be remorseful. She waited. “That affair on th’ island,” he proceeded, having succeeded in finding his voice. “That doesn't make any difference. I’ve got to have you. If you’ll promise to marry me. I’ll— I’ll let you go. You hit me jush now —but it makes me all the more mad 'bout you. C’mon, Di’na—promish!’’ She ignored his words and evaded his reaching hands.

“How did you contrive to get me here?” she asked, her voice cold, incisive. “And how did you know about Lola?” Time. That was her need. Delay until help came. He guffawed with drunken uproarishness. i “Oh, that was simple. I passed Lola on th’ road. She said she was jus’ out drivin.’ I had t’ get you some way where I c'd talk to you for ’while. So I had th’ clerk call you. It worked —you fell f’r th’ ankle stuff! Ha, ha!” He laughed gleefully and then stopped short to add: “Lola doesn’t know a thing ’bout it!” "May I go now?” asked Diana, calmly. .He hesitated, his face working with passion. “If you’ll promise t’ marry me—yes,” he said, finally. “You know very %well I’ll never make such a promise!” “Then you’ll stay here all night!” he jerked out savagely. "Th’ only dif’frunce ’tween this'n y’r islan’ ’fair ’ll be that I’ll marry you after you’ve been properly compromised. That’s a score on Keene!” “Ugh, but you're loathsome! Don Keene didn't have to marry me!” Diana managed to make the retort, although the altercation had become almost too revolting to endure. “You stay! That’s final!” croaked Walden. “Make up your mind to that. No one will interrupt us. I’m supposed to be havin’ a little private party, 'n If you make a fuss—” He grinned maliciously—“they’ll think you’re drunk, an’ won’t pay any attention. In th’ mornin’ you'll change your mind ’bout marry'n me!” He had lost in part his thickness of speech in the grim seriousness of his purpose. The girl noted this with varying emotions. “I won’t make any fuss,” she replied. “And I won’t change my mind.”

.THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

She spoke in a low tone, her ears on the alert—waiting. Walden poured another drink and gulped it down greedily. During the momentary hush Diana heard strains of music. Gounot’s nightly merriment was getting into swing. The last drink seemed to aggravate Walden’s sense of aggrievement. He sat for some time in dejected attitude, a childishly stubborn look on his face. Then he appeared to grow contrite, and for several mirhites kept up a monotonous plea for Diana to marry him. But she had ceased to bother even in looking at him. He was evil, re- ; pulsive. Her silence and composure seemed to be infuriating him. He couldn't understand her strength, her calm. He raged in partially drunken helplessness. But he’d show her Finally muttering a curse, he brought his fist down on the table. Diana glanced indifferently toward him and seeing that he had sprung to his feet, rose also. He seemed fired with a diabolical purpose. Diana for the first time, felt frightened. Some instinct warned her to prepare for self-de-fense. “I’m going to—destroy you.” rasped Walden, “tame—you—do you hear? I’m going—to make you grqvel. I’ve got you now where I want you—” He was shouting hoarsely, his eyes bulging. Maniac’s eyei& Diana crouched against the wall, her lips white. She had never before witnessed such a revelation of degenerate passion. He approached her slowly, his shoulders hunched forward, his hands clawing the air before him. It seemed to the girl that he had turned into a monster. There was no mercy in his eyes. Why didn't Teddy come? Or Don? Somebody—had it been this that her dream foretold? t “Don! Teddy!” she shrieked. “For the love of God. Walden.” He was tearing at her dress, ripping the soft stuff all the way down. She fought him desperately, now jerking his head back by his hair —kicking him. “I’m going to destroy you,” he snarled, gloatingly, "if it's necessary. I'll kill you. Kill you. do you hear?” “Haven’t you any decency at all?” gasped Diana, staying his hand by a supreme effort from her throat. Btrt.

it was useless, she knew, to appeal; to him. - She wondered In the agonized midst of the fight that no one heard them. They knocked over a chair. A lamp went shashing to the floor, the bulb shattered to a thousand pieces. She was giving up. weakening. Only his hoarse mutterings were clear in her ears—“l’ll smash you—off your—pedestal—and my old man is going to—smash your old man—you didn't know that—did you? Walden and Walden are going to send —the—Brooks breed into the gutter—we’re going to break you. Break you!” Diana was growing limp from exhaustion. Walden's contorted face flickered indistinctly before her. “Dad!” she cried, frantically. “Your dad is going to be—fixed— i so that he—will be harmless—he’s held the high hand—long enough—with his clean policy—his publicity of virtue rot. We're closing in—on him—he’s trapped!” Diana felt herself released. Some- ! thing had distracted Walden’s at-! tention. He krew still, listening, j There was some sort of commotion i on the other side ot the door. “Teddy is that you—Teddy?’’ she 1 cried feebly. “Yes, Diana! Let us in!”

' The voice of the little sob sister came clearly through the partition. “How the hell did she get here?" gasped Walden, dazedly. “You'd better—open that door,” jerked out Diana.

Arthur Brisbane, in the Chicago Herald and Examiner of May 18, says, Oil of Indiana announced yesterday the purchase from Henry and Edsel Ford of a huge, all-metal, three-engine monoplane 'to provide safe, fast and comfortable trips’ for its officials to outlying oil regions. “The time of a good oil man is worth more than the price of several airplanes. “Perhaps Standard Oil will contribute to American flying on its own accpunt, and build that 'real flying machine’ which Henry Ford suggests.” The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been, and is, contributing to American flying in the interest of the people whom it serves by the development of special gasoline and lubricating oil for aviation use and by its program of marking air trails. This Company is interested in commercial aviation. It has proved in its own business that the air is an extraordinarily satisfactory medium of communication. The Air Mail has been a tremendous, asset to the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), increasing the efficiency of the organization. Other business concerns and individuals throughout the United States have appreciatea this speedier mail communication it makes possible, as the record for 1926 testifies. A total of 17,345,9601etters were carried by airplane during the year. This Company’s investment in a giant monoplane is further evidence that the Company is deeply interested in commercial aviation. The new all-metal monoplane, named the Stanolind, can accommodate eight passengers, has a wing span of 71 feet, ana is propelled by three motojrs. It uses 46 gallons of gasoline an hour and carries fuel for a sustained flight of five hours. e The Stanolind was purchased to provide safe, fast and comfortable transportation to oil producing regions, division headquarters and outlying refineries. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is always on the alert for new ways and better methods of increasing efficiency. The purchase of the new monoplane is in line with its progressive business policy.
