Enteied at the fast Ofricc at Richmond. Indiana, as 8i ond Cms Mai! Matter.

Exorbitant Hotel Rates Carl G. Fisher, president of the Indianapolis Speedway, is waging war on the hotel men of that city who charge exorbitant rates during the races. Fisher is a pretty far sighted business man and knows that the other speedway courses recently opened in the Middle West are giving the Indianapolis event stiff competition. Followers of the sport will go to the cities where they are accorded the best treatment. If Indianapolis hotel men persist in driving the harpoon into persons who attend the races there, they will go to the cities where hotel men have sense enough to appreciate the worth of the patronage by keeping their rates normal. It was recently pointed out in a full page advertisement in the Indianapolis newspapers that that city cannot outgrow its small town reputation if it keeps up a narrow gauge policy and makes itself an object of ridicule and scorn throughout the country.The Speedway is one of the best forms of advertisement Indianapolis has, and if it loses the race the hotelkeepers of the city ought to receive a

severe drubbing from the citizens residing in the center of Hoosierdom.

Smash the Insurance Trust If revelations made at Indianapolis regarding an alleged fire insurance trust which controls rates' in violation of a permanent injunction against companies that are said to be in the combination, the attorney general must step in and smash the trust. The report of the special insurance investigator indicates that there is enough ground for legal action. This is a form of holdup the state authorities ought to stop at once. Trust smashing has been in vogue all over the country for a number of years. Indiana will be in line if its officials at once check further efforts to increase the high cost of living by telling the insurance companies that the Law must be obeyed and the rights of the people protected.

THE GOLD OF THE GODS

BY ARTHUR B. REEVE

(A Mystery of the Incas Solved by Craig Kennedy, Scientific Detective)

Kennedy and I exchanged glances. That was the action in revenge to Lockwood and Whitney which he had contemplated over the telephone. It was bo cruel and harsh that I could have hated him for it, the-more so as I recollected that it was he himself who had cautioned us against doing the very thing which now he had done in the heat of passion. "Oh," she wailed, "he was very kind end considerate about It. He caid he felt that it was his duty to tell me, lhat he would be anything, like an older brother, to me; that he could rot see me blinded any longer to what was going on, and everybody knew, lut hnd not love enough for me to tr II. It was such a shock. I could not even speak. I simply ran from the room without another word to bim and Juanlta found me lying on the bed. Then I decided I would come to you." fKvwfl, and her great, deep e.vos looked up pnthetlcnlly. "And you," f-he nMrd bitterly, "you are goIns to tell me that he. was right, that It is true. You can't prove it. Enow me -wliat it is that you have, f defy you!" Somr'iow. ns she rested pnd relievrd hor foelinrs. a new strength seemed to come to hrr. It was what Kennedy had been waiting for, the reaction that would leave her able for him to go on and plan for the future. He reached into a drawer of a cabinet and pulled out the various shoeprints which he bad already shown Norton, and which he had studied and testudled so carefully. "That Is the print of the shoe In the dust of the Egyptian sarcophagus of the Museum." he said quietly. "Some one got in during the daytime and hid there until the place was locked. That Is the print of Alfonso de Moche's shoe, that of Mr. Whitney's, and that of Mr. Lockwood's. He said it quickly, as though trying to gloss It over. But she would not have it that way. She felt stronger, and she was going to see just what there was there. She took the prints and studied them, though her. hand trembled. Hers was a remarkable mind. It took only seconds to see

what others would have seen only in minutes. But it was not the reasoning faculty that was aroused by what she saw. It sank deep into her heart. She flung the papers down. "I don't believe it!" she defied. 'There Is some mistake. NoIt cannot be true!" It was a noble exhibition of faith. I think I have never seen any instant more tense than that in Kennedy's laboratory. There stood the beautiful Eirl declaring her faith In her lover, rejecting even tlic implication that it might have been he who had taken the dagger, perhaps murdered her father to insure the possession of her father's share of the treasure as well as the possession of herself. Kennedy did not try to combat it. Instead he treated her very intuiiions with respect. In him there was room for both fact and feeHng. "Senorlta," he said finally, in a voice that was deep and thrilling with feeling, "have I ever been other than a friend to you? Have I ever given you cause to suspect even one little

motive of miner She faced him. and they looked Into each ether's eyes an instant. But it was long enough for the man to understand the woman and she to understand him. "No," she murmured, glancing down afrain. "Then trust me just this once. Do ns I ask you." For an instant she struggled with hewlf. What would he ask? "What is it?" she questioned, raising her eyes to him again. "Have you seen Mr. Lockwood?" "No." "Then, I want you to see him. Surely you wish to have no secrets

from him any more than you would wish him to have anything secret from you. See him. Ask him frankly about It all. It is the only fair thing to him it is only fair to yourself." Senorita Mendoza was no coward. "I I will," she almost whispered. "Splendid!" exclaimed Kennedy in admiration. "I knew you would. You are not the woman who could do otherwise. May I see that you get home safely? Walter, call a taxicab." Senorita Mendoza was calmer, though pale and still nervous, when I returned. Kennedy handed her into the car and then returned to the laboratory for two rather large packages, which he handed to me.

"You must come along with u, Walter," he said. "We shall need you." Scarcely a word was spoken as we jolted over the city pavements, and at last reached the apartment. Inez and Craig entered and I followed, carrying just one of the packages as Craig had indicated by dumb show, leaving the other in the car, which was to wait. " "I think you had better write him a note," suggested Craig, as we entered the living room. "I don't want you to see him until you feel better and, by the way, see him here." To be continued
