BEGIN HERE TODAY _ MONA MORAN. recfptioni*t In a Wall Btrart law office. Is in love with BARRY TOWNSEND, rich and aoctallv prominent. fihe met Barry through STEVE BACCAREIJT. her childhood who ha* returned to New York after three year*' absence. Btev* has been in Soufh America, %here, largely by chance, he has become associated with Barry, owner of a diamond mtne long believed worthless Together thev have made the mine pay and are now buslnesa partners. Steve owns a huge diamond called “The Empress of Peru." LOTTIE CARR, tashlon model. Joins Mona, Barry, arvd Sieve on several dinner and dancing engagements. Mona's brother. BUD. becomes Involved with gangsters who plan to steal the big diamond. Steve suspects this, traps Bud and when h confesses helps him escape to Bouth America, where he Is to have a job at the mine. Some lime later Barry invites Mona, Lottie and Steve to spend Sunday at his uncle s palahal country home. They make the tr.p in Steve r. roadster. Barr, is a delightful host. However, when he and Mona are together, he fails to propose. .NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER NINETEEN MRS. FAXON joined the young people at luncheon. Elizabeth, Burry's sister, had telephoned, she said. Elizabeth, marrying early, was the mother of four frolicsome children and kept in dally touch with the Townsend menage, yet Mrs. Faxon mentioned her call as if it were an occasion. “Want anything?" Barry inquired. “.Just to say hello. And to suggest that you might like to drive over for dinner this evening.” “That reminds me!” Barry exclaimed. *‘l thought it might be a good stunt to have dinner at the camp. There are steaks around somewhere, aren't there? Jean could make-—”,

“Splendid!” Mrs. Faxon said delightedly and took the reins of preparation out of Barry’s hands. ‘‘l'll send Jimmy down to get the place warm and dusted.” Turning to Mona, she w r ent on. “You should feel duly flattered. Barry shows the camp only to his closest friends. I've known of people to hint for weeks—” “It’s my private thinking place,” Barvy admitted. After luncheon the four piled into Barry's roadster and made a tour of the countryside. They stopped for tea at a small Inn and when they returned to the motor car Barry drove with Mona beside him. Steve and Lottie, in the rumble seat apparently were deep in some gay secret. Steve’s chuckles, punctuated by Lottie's high-pitched chatter, reached Mona in the front seat. The car ran smoothly along the highway, dipping with the hills, rising again amid rows of oaks and maples. It glided past the carefully checkered meadows that made up the well-groomed estates of the rich. Here all was huddled towns of tiny houses, no glaring billboards. no small shops. As the road twisted and turned, the sinking sun reddened, danced ahead of them, danced to the left, then the right again and finally disappeared, as if to terminate the pleasarft game of hide and seek they had been playing. Almost immediately they were back at Twilands, returned by anew road. Dusk was settling in the trees. The girls, ran upstairs, laughing and chatting. “Hey. you!”. Barry called. “That's for me,” explained Lottie. “Didn’t I tell you he always calls me that?" She turned and said. “What?” "Hey, you! Dinner is broiling. Come on!” u ts tt MRS. FAXON had gone ahead with Jimmy and Jean and the huge basket of supplies. Mona and Lottie, Steve and Barry, set out to follow over the gently freezing road, then struck out crosslots for the camp. On the veranda the appetizing odor of broiling steak greeted them. Jimmy, kneeling before the flame, was guarding the piece de resistance tenderly, but relinquished his place Immediately to Barry. Jean, smiling from the kitchen door, was mixing salad dressing. The camp now was warm, cosy and delightful. Mrs. Faxon, busying herself at the table, called them at last to sit down. When they had finished eating, they turned on the radio and danced. Mona, puzzled at first, decided that Barry was avoiding her. When he addressed her he seemed to keep the conversation on a general note. The servants departed, carrying the emptied hampers, and Mrs.

Faxon, from her cretonne fire-seat, beamed on the little party approvingly. “She likes us." Mona thought. And she was right. Mrs. Faxon thought Mona exquisite and her friend Lottie, refreshing and amusing. “Barry should have more good times like this,” Mrs. Faxon was telling herself. Loyal to each, the, dissension between Barry and his uncle worried her. She did her best to help each! ! of them arrive at a more complete j understanding. At last all of them left the little i camp wrapped in darkness and silence. Mona thought, as she took ! Steve's arm, that the whole day had been over too soon.

Saving the “Boss” VERY few proponents of the bill fixing the maximum tax rate on real property at $1.50 realize the dangerous political power placed in 1 two hands by the new statute. Section four of the law provides j that there shall be created in each county a board of tax adjustment, to consist of the county auditor, three j members of the county council, to ; be selected by the council, and three , members to be appointed by the : judge of the circuit court. This board “shall have the power to, and it shall be its duty, to revise, change, and if necessary reduce the tax levy of any and all municipal corporations.” Section two defines “municipal corporations” to mean counties, townships, school townships, cities, school cities, towns, school towns, school districts, sanitary districts, park districts, and all taxing units with the state. In plain language, that means that this adjustment board shall

lAUGHS aren’t so -common these -J days that any of us can afford to pass up mirth-provoking chances: and if you want to forget your troubles and assure yourself of a whole series of guffaws $ suggest ; that you get a cop yof “Nothing but Wodehouse.” Here Is an omnibus volume containing a great number of the funniest stories of that very gifted humorist, P. G. Wodehouse. If you ever have read any of his books, I won’t need to tell you anything about him: if you haven’t, all I can do is advise you to start at once—and ask you where on earth you've been these years. Included in “Nothig but Wodehouse” is the full-length novel, “Leave It to Smith.” There are also eleven stories about Jeeves, that super-valet; six stories from “He Rather Enjoyed It,” three from “Meet Mr. Mulliner,” and four from “Mr. Mulliner Speaking." Ogden Nash edited the book, and while every Wodehouse fan will think of one or two stories that ought to be in the book and aren’t, the selection of stories has been very good. After all ,it would be impossible to make up a book of this kind without leaving out somebody’s favorite tale, and Mr. Nash seems to have done about as well as any one could expect. I don’t know of any one who can write funny stories quite as well as Mr. Wodehouse. This book contains some of his best. “Nothing but Wodehouse” is published by Doubleday, Doran <te Cos.

hotel court, got out of bed and saw two natives knifing each other down below. Beyond, above the houses across the street, was the rainbow —a faint arc of color. * ' When I mentioned it next morning, everybody was much more excited about that than they had been about the murder. Killings were frequent enough, but lunar rainbows were rare!” m m m AS Mona drew on her hat before the mirror, she thought with a pang that in a scant quarter hour she would leave this delightful place. Flow easy her entrance had been and how simple her departure! Another fifteen minutes and then an exit through the door. She might never enter Barry’s life again! She left Lottie busy before the dressing table and descended the stairs just in time to hear Jimmy call Barry to the phone. “Miss Dower calling,” he said. Presently Barry reappeared and caught Mona’s hand in his own. There was no one else in the hall

have supreme authority in matters of tax levies and taxation over every division and subdivision of government within the county. Now let's see what that does. tt tt * For example, if George V. Coffin, Marion county Republican boss, elects his own auditor and circuit judge, he controls the taxing powers of every governmental unit in the county. It matters not if the townships, city, and majdrity of county officials are anti-Coffln—Cap is the ! boss. He can wield the big club of punishing enemies by slashing their appropriations and rewarding his friends by increasing them. Or let us say Instead that the group of Democratic politicians seeking to gain control of the party organization in this county elects its own circuit judge. This group already controls the auditor, and with the election of its choice for circuit judge, it is inevitable that, under the powers granted by this law, they will be able to build an organization to oust the recognized and respected party cheiftains and gain the rule for themselves. These are the points the professional politicians are considering when they study the bill. They care little whether the maximum tax levy shall be only $1.50 — what they desire is power—and that is what the bill provides. u tt a Perhaps the framers and sponsors of the measure had no idea of helping Coffin to regain power or enable other unscrupulous politicians to leap into the saddle. But the result is obvious—give me the circuit judge and the auditor and it will be well nigh impossible to oust me from political control of the county. These and other points were called to the attention of the Democratic house and senate leaders and the effort to recall the bill from the Governor was launched. It is too late now—the $1.50 maximum bill is a law—but Delph McKesson, Democratic floor leader, recognizing the danger, seeks to avert it by amending another bill which will result in nullification of the $1.50 law. Whether he will succeed is unknown—but the dangers in the new law are obvious and have thrown a scare into those who believed that Coffinism and anything resembling it is doomed. It begins to look as if Coffin’s political lives are more numerous than that of a cat.

“Ask the Giant,” commanded the wizard, “if he feels any differently since I reduced his size?” Tarzan shook his head. “He says no, illustrious prince,” translated Komodoflorensal out of his imagination, “and he asks when you will restore him to his natural size and permit him to leave.”

and he drew her into the drawing room. “Does it make any difference to you that Steve is my friend?” he asked. “I mean, do you like me any better because of that?” His eyes, looking into hers, were troubled. “You didn't like me at first at the office, did you?” Barry went on. Mona drew her hand away gently. "Os course I like you,” she said promptly, though a trifle shakily. She had wanted to see Barry alone. The moment was here now ’ and she hardly knew how to meet lit. “I want to ask you something, i Mona,” Barry went on. “I’ve asked Steve. I’ve asked your loquacious little friend, too, and now I’m go-

That the situation between you and old Steve isn't serious. If I hang around a bit—dine with you—take you out once in a while—am I butting in? Hang it!—are you in love with Steve?” Mona raised her eyes and looked at him squarely. “Steve never has asked me that, Barry,” she said. “You see,” he went on earnestly, “if Steve were engaged to a girl and I wanted to take her to dinner, he cheerfully would postpone the wedding ceremony and persuade her to go with me! That's Steve!”

“He thinks a great deal of you, Ii know.” “And he thinks a great deal of you. Mona, too!" Once more Barry grasped her hand eagerly.

Barry turned. “Well, we don't seem to be getting anywhere,” he said smiling. “Steve, as soon as I get this girl half-way agreeable to a dinner date, you and Lottie have to break in and ruin everything!” “You can date her uo any time." Steve said. “I’ve got to be in town by 10:30. Come on—everybody ready?” “All right, then,” Barry was saying in a low tone. "Have dinner with me Monday? Tuesday then? Confound it, Wednesday?"
