Thursday of last week that it has had a political and econom-

c revolution. We are astonisncd at trie magnitude ox me ue-

oat of the conservatives. The British people have expressed with great emphasis hat they are impatient. They are no longer content with gesures and half-measures that give them promises of better

lousing, better education, greater opportunity and greater

tbundaiiee. '

Thev have seen democratic peoples demonstrate that

they can build millions of tons of armaments, shipping and

;jlanes: create miracles in jungles and. deserts: transport

millions of men and their equipment to the far places of the

world. If these achievements in wasteful killing and war a

possible, then other miracles of housing, feeding and reception are likewise possible. Such is the reasoning of awakened

people throughout the world. Great Britain was the last major government in the Torld where conservatives held power by democratic means. Ihe South is the last major area in the United States where conservatives still hold power by virtue of gestures and half

measures.

The British elections reflect a stepping up of the tempo

of economic and political change. The American people will no longer be patient with unemployment. To stay in power

the Democratic party must embrace mud plans that will

guarantee every citizen a useful job that provides an eve"ir.creasing standard of living as a reward. To stay in power the Democratic party must provide bold programs for increasing health and educational standards, and proper conservation measures for our human and natural resources. If their government does not provide them with the creative opportunities to which they are entitled the people will not turn to the ultra-conservatives in the United States. Unemployment in America will provide opportunity for the Pappy O'Daniels, Reynolds' and other demagogues. The; will accommodate therriselves to the new tempo of change, but it will be a tragic change for the worse unless U. S. conservatives take heed.

SYNOPSIS At the request of Geneva Benet, daughter of Captain Benet in charge of a fleet of obsolete vessels lying at anchor in the Chesapeake, Donald Colby, an ex-soldier, takes the job as watchman, despite the fact that three predecessors have mysteriously disappeared. As Colby, Geneva, and Dutto'n, another watchman, approach the "Monticello," on which the girl lives with her father, three shots and a scream rent the air. The captain is not aboard. Colby and Mcars, watchman of the "Mount Vernon," find him in a cabin of that ship, dying from a bullet wound. Asked who shot him, the captain's eyes turn to the figure of a dead man sprawled on the staircase nearby. Suddenly, a sound issues from the passageway. Mears douses his flashlight. A figure appears and Colby tackles it. A jet bf flame spews forth and in its light Colby is stunned to see the features bf Geneva.- Why- was she on ythe

"Mount Vernon" and why hadaii

fired the automatic? The girl c aims she thought he was "the thets." Colby snaps "Don't lie! You ltnew we were going to search the 'Mount Vernon'." CHAPTER VII Somewhat unsteadily, the jrirl pushed a strand of bobbed chestnut hair from across her eyes and got to her feet and stood looking at Donah! Colbv's grim figure. "What has

happened?" ( ahnlv enough, she r

switched on a flashlight of her own. Colby stepped aside, watching her closely. "I suppose since you have tnl;rt) such paiiis you may as well si:." Once by him she halted and Celby

striM's them in a vital snot.

"Connolly!" The tweed clad figure spiu forward and knelt at the side of the: stricken man. "Connolly! Have they hurt you very badly? Say that they haven't." i Connolly, indeed. ' Colby's feature? were leaner th'in ever when he stepped lightly back into the shadows and, poised somewhat like an old time gun fighter, studied the shadow ruled grand staircase beyond. Mears, strangely unemotional, kept his light fixed on the oddly assorted couple. "Talk, please talk!" The girl pleaded in fearful earnestness. "Don't die, for Cod's sake, don't die. Who'shot you was it Colby? I" At that moment Caplain Benet, who apparently had another name as well, must have died, for all at once his body went limp and rolled sidewise, untidy bald head coming ucrlily to rest on the floor beside the horrified girl's knee. It seemed impossible that anybody could turn so pale as Geneva Benet and yet keep their senses. . "You did this," she flung at Colby in jerky, metallic accents. "I ought to have ' known you'd be one of them!" "You're crazy," Colby said, then added with acid brutality. "He's dead, so quit acting and get up there's a lot to be done." The giil raised a face blank save for bitter staring eyes. Colby might have spoken in Chinese for all the "You you murdered him!" She shivered as though suddenly stripped bare. ' "You made a neat job of getting me here." rasped the gaunt figure in the military tunic, "but now that l am here I'm going to run things. Get up!" Geneva Benet stared emptily at him, then her fyes wandered vaguely to Mears just before she crumpled sidewise. "She's fainted." Mears grunted. He also said, "Oh!" because he found he was looking down the barrel of Colby's .S2. "Hey, what's the idea?" , . "Drop, that gun. Prmtfo!" "Who the devil are you, anyhow?

a machine gun's report came Colby's command. The watchman's automatic clattered to the hardwood floor. "Okay, wise guy, okay," Mears snapped. "This ain't over yet." "You gild the lily of obviousness," Colby remarked as he retrieved the other's weapon and then stood dominating the three prostrate figures. More Indian-like than ever, he jerked his head towards the man on the stair top. "Go over and look at him." - The watchman obeyed. : ' "Know him?" "No," came the sullen reply. "Never laid eyes on the guy." "Are you sure?" Mears' .lips revealed strong and prominent teeth in an unpleasant smile. 'Trove that I have. Wise

Guy."

as old as he had previously seemesNext he gingerly opened the shirl front and narrowly inspected the two wounds, and as he did so his breath entered with a sharp hiss of surprise. One was ragged, much larger and different in shape from its precise little fellow. . - Having completed a hurried inspection, Colby transferred his attention to the eorps.e of the unknown man. He was'middle-aged, tall and thin with stiff iron gray hair and lay clutching a small Luger automatic pistol. A foot or so away a spent cartridge case winked like s tiny evil eye. The dead man wore a neat, gray serge suit which had recently gotten, very dusty and marked with occasional streaks of rust. A bullet, planted squarely between the stranger's close set blue eyes did not by any means improve

"How board?"

"How would I know? Maybe you got a better idea yourself." "You're sure you haven't seen him before?" . ' - "No." But an indefinable instinct warned Colby to doubt the denial, "Pic.!; up Miss Benet and take her to her quarters. When you return you'll get your gun back, so don't bother to hunt up another. All I want is to stay alive. See?" Mears relaxed a little. "Okay." "Incidentally, you can tell Dutton I'm holding him responsible for keeping her there," said this remarkable young man. "If he lets her out of his sight I'll beat the eternal tripe, out of him." Mears silently gathered Geneva Benet's slight, long-legged figure' into hia arms and carried her out, with her bright loosened hair sway? ing over one jerseyed arm. Had she really fainted or had he successfully thwarted a clever ruse? Colby had no time to ponder the; question, irreplaceable seconds were ticking by and a nagging premonition of danger would not leave, him. Out of caution, he darted into the barber shop which opened onto B deck and watched Mears carry his burden across the gangplank to the Monticello. Then, and only then, did Colby wheel and, silent as a leopard on the prowl, dart back to the landing where Geneva Benet's abandoned flashlight still attempted to disperse the gloom. First he hurriedly ransacked Captain Benet's pockets and in them found a large dagger knife and a watch marked D. Connolly.. Also on this interesting old man's person he discovered a blackjack and a handful of .45 caliber bullets. Odd, since his death, the murdered man had shrivelled into a creature twice

his looks. A small, red-blue hole in the forehead seldom does. "And now let's see what's on you, my lad," Colby muttered and, after sweeping the surroundings with his flashlight, rolled over the sagging corpse. "So Mears didn't know who this was," he mused, "or said he didn't." Maintaining a sharp study of the landing and its surroundings, ha rummaged hurriedly through the pockets, pocketed the contents and then gazed down into the dead man's sharp, strongly modelled features. It was neither a stupid not an ugly face, but somehow vaguely sinister just the same. Two old scars, parallel to each other, and a nick off the top of the left ear afforded ideal items for identification. "Urn must have been a university man," Colby reflected. Boarding an interesting train o.'. thought, he went quietly back int? the dim and spacious smoking room to briefly cast his flashlight about Ha! The gleam of metal caught his eye. Its origin proved to be a short crowbar better known as a junmy and beside it lay a wood chisel. Had they been brought) here to steal some lovely old panel oi some handsomely carved mantel; or for -what other purpose? It was that other purpose that bothered him. Though he played his flashlight quickly on the mantelpiece and the panelling, he found nothing wrong and a row of corpulent nymph grinned down at him almost de risively.
