It seems to be Barry’s idea of roughing it at this place to dress as he would on Park avenue.” “Anyhow, we’ll dress—-put on something especially becoming, smile our sweetest. There’s going to ho moonlight and a soft breeze. Yes, tonight, we’re going to make something happen!” CHAPTER FORTY-THREE ]wOK all Lottie’s artful planning * dinner at Holiday House that evening was singularly unromantic. '1 here were no lovely gowns and there was no lingering over a can-dle-lit, table, no strolling in the moonlight. It, proved in be the first evening since the girls’ arrival that no one dressed for dinner. Their departure from Grenada was delayed, the carpenters taking n great deal of time to decide finally that they could not begin work on the hangar for at least a week. The motorboat loft the harbor two hours later than they had planned. Sam, the native boy, was at the wheel, while Barry and Steve spent most of the trip in rather disgruntled discussion. When they arrived at the house, they found the table on the veranda still set, for dinner, the flowers drooping under the electric light and fireflies gathering on the terrace. The food in the kitchen long had Since cooled and last its flavorsomeness. “I sent the maids home for the night,” Miss Grarie said, unperturbed. “There seemed to be no knowing when you'd come. I thought you might have dined at Grenada.” “Well, we can’t lure those carpenters here for a week yet,” Steve announced. “I was going to buy this

girl a pair of monkeys to take back to New York—” Back to New York! Mona felt her heart throb shaprly. her cheeks suddenly grow cold. Steve and Barry were thinking then of their departure! “Don't buy those monkeys yet a while,” Barry said hastily, and Mona sighed, reassured. “We’re not going to let Mona and Lottie "get away for a long time. They haven't seen half the sight yet.’’ “Well, they’ve seen what many a girl in Port of Spam would give hex eye teeth to see. any how,” Miss Grarie interposed comfortably. ‘ Whats’ that, Miss Grade?” The older woman's fat face crinkled in a smile and her kind eyes were hidden for a moment. “This house.” She nodded vehemently. “Barry and Steve are popular men. you knew. When they come to our house-—”

As Usual IT'S news when there is no factional conflict in the Marion county Democratic organization. But as the man sentenced to be hanged said while waiting for a reprieve from the Governor, “No noose is good news.” (How he does it at, these prices and during a depression, is remarkable.) To get on with our knitting, we wish to assure the customers that things are as usual among the Democrats. One gang is calling the other bad names, and the county chairman, H. Nathan Swaim, is pulling what remains of his fastgraying hair. Emboldened by his victory in the primary, Earl Cox, nominee for circuit judge, has decided to do a little dictating regarding the personnel of the ward chairman, they tell me. Either he or some close friends—and a victorioius primary candidate has. more pals than Peggy Joyce has husbands—have been trying to say who should be canned and who should be retained in the key positions. Becuse.it is claimed that he constantly has bucked the organization, Frank Woolling, Washington township chairman, is scheduled for the skids. . Inasmuch as he is one of the group which backed Cox, the latter, it is said, is fighting for his retention. Woolling is one of the leaders of the Baker-Grossart-Cox courthouse group. A petition signed by the majority of the precinct committeemen asking that he be retained as township chairman has been preI sent Pd. From present indications, he Will be replaced as soon as Swaim can decide on the successor. On the other hand, partisans of ; Cox are insisting that Wyatt Far- ! rington. Fourteenth ward chairman, who opposed the nominee in the primary, be replaced by one friendly to their cause. Also, they want Fred Eisenhut, chairman of the west end of the Fourth ward, removed for the same reason. Swaim emphatically has declared that he won’t make such move. a a a He believes, they tell me, that if he accedes to the demands of the opposition faction and makes the changes and retains Woolling, the present organization heads may as ! well throw up their hands as far ! as selecting the mayoralty candi- ! date next year is concerned.

”Did you ever know a girl named Celeste?” asked Mona idly. Barry and Steve glanced at each other and bursts out laughing. “Let Lottie tell you that one, Barry. I can’t do it justice.” * a a , THEY listened to Lottie’s diverting version of the affair on the boat, but when she related the gift of Barry's portrait to Celeste the men became instantly sober. “Great heavens, that practically constitutes an engagement!” Steve exclaimed. “But she was honest, any how. She insisted Barry hadn't paid much attention to her,” retorted Lottie. Steve rose. “Yes, that's honest, only a little too mild. You might as well say a man pays no attention to a mosquito buzzing around him twenty-four hours of the day.” “I think I'll say good night,”

mary are the ward chairmen, and if the Baker-Grossart-Cox group is able to name its own choices, then the entire Democratic city organization goes into the hands of the enemy. The revolt against Swaim control, as far as the present nominees is concerned, is only a oneman affair, they tell me. Remainder of the candidates have gone on record indorsing the chairmanship and administration of Swaim. Whether the fight will have any bearing on the Democratic chances in November is another story, and it will be necessary to wait until the campaign is well under way to learn. BY BRUCC CATTON Roger sheringham, the English detective who stalks through the pages of books by Anthony Berkeley, is a pretty good detective, and Mr. Berkeley is a pretty good writer. Consequently, Mr. Berkeley’s mystery stories are highly readable, and “Murder in the Basement,” his latest one, is a topnotch yarn throughout. This story gets under way when two honeymooners discover a woman’s corpse under the floor of the basement in the house they just have rented. For eight months or so the police can't even find out who the lady was; and after they do find out. they can't gpt a line on the villain who put her there, except that they do know that the trail leads to a tony preparatory school. At this point, of course, Sheringham steps in, and the outcome of the yarn is as neat a surprise as you'll find in a long time. “Murder in the Basement” is published by the Crime Club for $2. 1 can't say nearly as much for “The Green Knife,” by Anthony Wynne. In this yarn we have an English financier stabbed to death in a locked room from which no one could have escaped—you know the sort of thing; people go about saying: “It’s simply inconceivable," and so on. Then a couple of servants get killed in the same way, and finally Dr. Eustace Hailey ferrets out the truth at great peril to his own neck. But the whole business is so involved and complicated and generally impossible that the book falls to the ground of its own weight and I shan’t try to lift it. “The Green Knife” is published by Lippincott, and costs $2.

Tarzan stepped again to the wall below the aperture. A few minutes later the three stood upon the opposite side of the wall. Their candles revealed a narrow passage that showed signs of much more recent use than those through t hich they had passed from the quarters of Kalfastoban.

As the two girls mounted the stairs Lottie said quickly. “At least Barry doesn’t want us' to hurry away!” “Oh, I don’t know!” Mona's voice was weary. “He could hardly have said less.

The brgsh plied evenly with long, deft strokes. “She’s a great one." was Lottie’s thought. “Her heart is breaking, but she doesn’t forget the forty strokes—or is it fifty or 100?" It was, as a matter of fact, 150 that night. The brush was replaced in the dresser drawer.
