FLOOD RELIEF JOB NOT DONE, * SAYSJjOOVER Much Remains to Be Done for Rehabilitation of ‘South. WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—Many counties are still under water and relief work In the Mississippi valley will have to continue for many months, Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover reports. Hoover plans to return to the flood zone next week to adjust various problems. Already the Government and the Red Cross have spent nearly $26,000,000 caring for flood victims. Sixteen millions of this was raised by the Red Cross, railroads donated three millions by free service in transporting supplies, and Government agencies spent the other $7,000,000. Congress will have to pay back the (Government departments at the next session, Hoover said. Feared Bank Failures The greatest need "following the flood in Hoover’s opinion was to prevent a financial collapse that would wreck the banks. “That was why intermediate credit organizations were established with the assistance of the States and the United States Chamber of Commerce,” he said. “This work was handled so promptly and so effectively that there were only three bank failures.” Planters with more than 200 acres of land had to rehabilitate themselves with the assistance of their own f nancial credit, Hoover said; they did not receive actual cash gifts from the relief agencies. The planters with less acreage and tenant farmers were handed money outright to set them up in business again. Hoover said the situation a erecting the rebuilding of the broken levees was not as bad as was generally feared because of the recent ruling by the comptroller general. Engineer’s Plan Army engineers had planned to divert money from general funds to rebuild the levees, but this was found to be illegal and -the money was refused. The engineers have got around this, however, Hoover said, by pesuading the local levee districts to raise the money with the promise from the Government that It would come to their assistance later. Hoover is of the opinion that the relief work can be carried through to the finish with the funds now on hand, but that the greatest problem facing the country is flood control.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STOBY CHAPTER XXXI at SHALT, ruin these silver T slippers,” Vee Vee mourned, | 1 | as she stumbled along on her highheeled evening shoes over the stubbly field from which a crop had evidently been recently cut. “Reckon you won’t need ’em for a few days,” the more evil-faced man of the wo assured her ominously. “Ain’t much further. There’s our bird right over there." He pointed to wnere a giant pair of wings hugged the ground. "Guess we oughta have give you a pair of sensible shoes out of that bag of yours that my pardner is lugging for you.” “My bag?” Vee-Vee echoed in intense surprise. “Do you mean that you have some of my clothes in that bag?" t „ “Sure, lady,” the moon-faced man chuckled. “How did you get my things? Did you break into my room?" “Oh, that was easy,” the moonfaced man assured her. “Just had to give the houseman on your floor at the hotel a fat tip to turn the trick for us. Hope he picked out the things you like best, but we can’t guarantee that.” “Don’t talk so much,” the other man snapped. “Here’s a heavy coat for you miss. May be a bit big. It’s an overcoat of mine. But it will keep you warm. You can tie your head up in a comer of that shawl-thing of yours. Hope this old flying flivver don’t cut up no pranks tonight,” h# added apprehensively to his partner in crime. “Sorry it ain’t a real-up-to-date air buggy, miss,” the moon-faced man chuckled. “But there’s plenty of room for three, if you don’t mind a bit of squeezing. And there’s gas enough to keep us in the air the rest of the night. Hop in, miss, and let me strap you in,” he added, after Vee-Vee had slipped her arms into an enc-mous, long, rough-tex-tured overcoat and had obediently wound a corner of her shawl tightly about her head. “I must say you’re a good sport, miss. Most flappers woulda been yelling their heads o£T, or trying to claw our eyes out.” Vee-Vee laughed, a little thrill of excitement quickening her nerves, as she allowed herself to be helped into the rear seat of the airplane. The moon-faced man took his place beside her, and buckled the broad leather strap that was to hold her securely. The girl shivered and clenched her hands in the big pockets of the overcoat as the mechanical bird taxied bumpily across the field, then began to rise almost imperceptibly, on a long slant. “Oh!” Vee-Vee gasped, her hands flying out of the pockets of her coat and clasping her stomach involuntarily, for the ground seemed to be clutching at her, straining to keep her. After a long time, during which she had hung, entirely unafraid

now, over the edge of her seat, secure in the protection of the leather strap that girdled her waist, watching with supreme satisfaction and wonder the landscape flying past her, she turned to the moon-faced man and smiled joyously. She saw that he was talking, through a speaking tube, with the evil-faced tone In the pilot’s seat, but she could not distinguish a word. But It did not matter. Nothing mattered but that she was having the supreme experience of her life. Then a thought ttiat had been trying for many minutes to get her attention forced its way through her childish pleasure in flyhig. Jerry Macklyn had said he would come to her assistance in an airplane, if necessary. Why hadn’t she realized before that in all probability Jerry had done this for her, had, In some uncanny fashion, learned of the predicament she was in and had devised this bizarre method of escape for her? At her journey’s end she would find Jerry waiting for her, his incredibly blue eyes blazing with triumph and wicked delight In his own cunning. It was like Jerry to plan a spectacular rescue like this. He was such a boy, for all his cleverness. “He probably hasn't given a thought to the hullabaloo that will be raised at the hotel when the abduction Is discovered,” she smiled to herself. But she would not worry about that now, could not picture the end of the adventure. “Dear Jerry!” she murmured .and the wind seemed to laugh at her as it thrust the words down her throat, straight to her heart. After a long time—she had no idea 'how long it really was—she grew drowsy with the rush of wind in her face and the throb of the airship Jogging her body as soothingly and regularly as a mother Jogs her baby’s cradle. She was almost asleep when the moon-faced man nudged her elbow and pointed downward. Vee-Vee nodded and smiled, then looked down, too. A town was gliding past, far below. She wondered idly what its name might be, but it did not seem to matter much. As she leaned over, watching drowsily, she could make out a narrow ribbon of water, with tiny lights studding it at frequent intervals, like diamonds in % necklace. She realized, after a moment’s bewilderment, that she was gazing upon the lordly Hudson, reduced almost to nothingness by the magic of a changed viewpoint. The pilot seemed to be steering his course by the river, however, and she concluded sleepily that the plane was hurrying her to New York—and Jerry. Occasionally the airship dipped sharply, descending several hundred feet In a few seconds, and every time it did so her stomach

felt as if it were being pulled from her body, by the clutching hands of a thousand malicious devils. Sometimes there came a sensation of bumping, as if the ship had struck its nose against invisible obstacles. She did not know she had been asleep until the moon-faced man’s hand Jogged her elbow again. He was stretching and yawning as if he, too, had snatched a nap. She was a ltitle resentful of having been disturbed until she felt the plane dropping like a shot bird. She clung to the rounded edge of her seat and looked down fearfully. The ground was rising up to meet them, rising so rapidly that her heart struck In her throat Then, as suddenly as the descent had begun, the plane was throbbing; peacefully again, and she kflbw that It was going steadily forward, though there was no sensation of progress. In a few seconds the pilot was heading the plant toward earth in a long, slanting sweep, and she knew that he was in control of the plane and was maneuvering for a landing. - The terrific noise of the engine stopped suddenly, and the absence of sound was so acute that it hurt her eardrums. Before she could accustom herself to the quiet, the plane had hit the earth, was taxiing along a level stretch of meadow. “Well, here we are! Have a nice ride?” The moon-faced man was grihnig at her as he leaned over her to unbuckle the strap. "I loved it!” Vee-Vee laughed shakily, the sound of her voice odd in her ears, asasulted as they had been by .hours of thunderous noise. “Oh, I’m stiff!” she wailed, as she crawled out of her roat, assisted by the moon-faced kidnaper. The pilot, who had hopped out of his machine, came toward them over the dew-wet grass of the meadow, pushing his goggles high on Etis forehead. “Nearly daylight,” he said, stretching his arms above his head and stamping his feet to restore circulation. "God! I’m tired. How far is it from here, do you think? I hope we landed in the right meadow. All these hills look alike from the sky.” “This is the landing place we’d picked out, all right,” the moonfaced man assured him, “Can’t lose me, even in an airplane at night. About a mile from hers, I reckon. Sorry, miss, but you’ve got another walk ahead of you. We do- ’’t dare take the plane too close to the shack. Want to change your shoes?”

“No, thanks. I can make it,” Vee-Vee shivered with cold and a return of her fears. “Where are you taking me? What shack do you mean?” “You’d be surprised,” the moonfaced man laughed good-naturedly. “But you’re going to have good company when you get there. He’s a prince—anyway, we got his word for it that he is! All I hope is a prince knows how to make a good cup of coffee. I could do with a bit of breakfast myself.” “You talk _£oo much,” his partner growled angrily, before Vee-Vee’s dazed brain could take in the sinister significance of the kidnaper’s words. “A prince!” she screamed, then, realization bursting upon her,—she started to run across the meadow, zigzagging on her ridiculous French heels. Even before the two men overtook her she knew that it was useless to try to escape. Her ankle turned against a stone, and she sank down into,the wet grass of the narrow strip of meadow between the lowering masses of the hills, and began to sob gaspingly. It was not Jerry Macklyn after all who was awaiting her. She had not been rescued, but had bfeen flung from the frying pan into the fire. But maybe—she stopped suddenly and rose to give herself up to her abductors—maybe Prince Ivan would let her go when he saw that she was not the woman who had been .his wife. (To Be Continued) To add to the complication of VceVce’s plight, the prince does not discover the mistake the kidnapers have made. Read the next chapter.
