CHAPTER 111 At ten o'clock the gong rang and the stock market opened. There had been no addHton to pfibflc knowledge In the newspapers. The news-ticker carried, qs additional information, unljr the effect of the announcement on the markets In Europe, which already had been open for hours. It was plain that the wild eyes of terror looked across the oceans and , the land—across rice fields and prai rles, out of the smoke of cities everywhere. The stock market opened promptly at ten.-. One man dropperl dead at his first glance upon the racing ticker. i On the floor Os the Exhange itself: there was relative quiet. When the market Is most busy. It is most silent. ! Phones were choked with regular. - qwrded speech. Boys ran.. The men stood and spoke In carefat tones at I .' - i K'~V I At Ten O’clock the Gong Rang, i the Stock Market Opened. One I Man Dropped Dead at His First Glance Upon the Racing Ticker. the posts. Milhous of shores began to change hands at prices—down. The ticker lagged as never In the wildest days of the Uoera. And at noon, In ' patent admission of the obvious no- j cessity, New York followed the ex- > ample already set by London. Paris and Berlin. The great metal doors ! boomed shut There would be no j more trading for an Indeterminate time. Until "the scientific situation j became cleared up.” When Tony hung up the telephone, . he thought vaguely that only foresight > during the depression bad placed his and his mother’s funds where they : were still comparatively safe In spite of the threat of world cataclysm. Compare lively safe—what did that | mean? What did anything mean, to- • day? • - Ba Scorn came into his dice; he put his head on Tony s desk and sobbed. ' Tony opened a drawer, took out a ’ whisky bottle which had reposed Tn it l unopened for a year, and poured a ' stiff dose into a drinking cup. Baicom i swallowed It as If It were milk, took ; another, and walked out dazedly. Tony procured hia hat and walked . out. Every one else was on the street —people In herds and throngs never i seen on Wall or Broad street or on j this stretch of Broadway, but who now were sucked in by this unparalleled excitement from the East side, the riv- • er front, the Bowery and likewise down from upper Fifth and from Park avenues. Women with babies, peddlers. elderly gentlemen, dowagers, proud mistresses, wives, school children and working people, clerks, stenographers—everywhere All trapped — thought Tony — all trapped together on the rim of the world. Did they know It? Did they feel it? ~ • • '< The deluge of humanity was pos- | sessed of a single Insatiable passion j for papers. But the newspapers told nothing more. Their contents, follow- ; Ing the repetition of the announce- ; ment of the morning, were of a wholly ! secondary nature, reflecting only the ' effect of the statement Itself. Tony dropped into a restaurant, ‘ where, though it was only afternoon. | an evening hilarity already had arrived. The Exchange was closed 1 No one knew exactly why or what was to | happen. Why care? That was the sir j here. Two men of Tony’s age, acquaint- , ances in school and friends in Wall Street, stopped at his table. “Were | going the rounds. Come along.” Their taxi squeezed through Broadway in which frantic policemen I wrestled vainly with overwhelming I crowds It stopped at a brownstone house in the West Forties. A night dub, and it was crowded, though the sun was still shining. The three floors of the house were filled with people in business clothes drinking and dancing. On the top floor two roulette wheels were surrounded by players. Tony saw heaps of chips, the piles of bills. He looked at the faces of the players, and recognized two or three of them. They were hectic faces. The market had closed. This was a real smash—not merely a money smash—a smash of the whole world ahead. Naturally money was losing its value, but men played for it—cheered when they won, groaned when ' they lost, and staked again. The limit had been taken off the game. Downstairs at the bar. were three girls u> whom Tw*,« two frien Is Im-

mediately attached themselves. They were pretty girls of the kind that Broadway produces by an overnight Incubation; girls who had been bom fnr from the Great White Way. Girls whose country and small town attitudes had vanished. All of them ha ! hair transformed from its original shade to ashen bhmde. Around their eyes were beaded lashes; their voices were high; their silk clothes adhered to their bodies. They drank and laughed. “Here's to old Bronson!” they toasted. "HereX to the ol’ world coming to an end !’* Tony sat with them: Clarissa Jacqueline. Bettlna. He gazed at them, laughed With them, drank with them; but he thought of Eve. asleep at last, ne hoped. Eve. slender as they, young as they. far. far lovelier than they; and hearing within her mind and soul the frightful burden of the full knowledge of this day. After a while Tony looked again at the motley crowd; and across the room he saw a friend sitting atone In a booth. Teuy rose and went toward * the man He was a person—a personage—worthy of notice. He was lean, gray aaired. Immaculate, srfiooth. His dark eyes were remote and unseeing. First nights knew him Mothers of very rich daughters, mothers of daughters of ini|»ece:tl>le lineage, sought hint. Wherever the gayest of the gay world went, he could be found. Southampton, Newport. Biarritz. Cannes. Nice. Deauville. Palm Beach. He was like old silver—yet he was not old Forty, perhaps. A bachelor. He would have liked it It some <>w of authority had called him a connoisseur of life and living—-be would have been pleased, but- he would not have revealed his pleasure. His name wits Peter Vanderbilt. And he was trapped, too— Tony was th » as saw him—trap|<ed with bint and I've and Kyto and the panhandler and Bettlna and Jacqueline and All the fest on the rim of the World. Tony cleared hts brain. •‘Hello.*' he said. Peter Vanderbilt looked up and his face showed welcome. "Tony’ Jove! Os all people. Glad to see you. Sit Sit aud contemplate." He beckoned a waiter and ordered. "Vo t're a hit oti the Inside. I lake It —friend of the Hendrens. You know a bit more of what*& going on." “Yes," admitted Tony; it was senseless to deny it to this man. "Don’t tell m»-. Don’t break confidences for my sake.' I'm not one that has to have details ahead of others. Funny. Isn't It to think of the end of all this? I feel stimulated, don't you? All of it—going to pieces! I feel like saying. Thank G >l!’ I was sj<-k of lu Every one was. tTvilization** a wretched parody. Evidently there was a just and judging God. after all, and He’s taking us In hand again—the way He did tn Noah’s time. . . . Good thing. 1 say. “But Hendron and his scientists aren’t doing so well. They’re making a big mistake. They've done splendidly—hardly could have done better up to today. But they're not well advised if they hold anything back much longer; they'd belter tell anything—no matter h«w bad It is. They’ll have to, as they'll soon see. Nothing can be as bad as uncertainty. They’re topnotch scientists, but the human element is the one thing they can't analyze and reduce to figures. What they need is a counsel in public relation*. Tell Cole Hendren 1 recommend Ivy Lee.” Rising, be left Tony and vanished In the throng. Tony rose, secured bls bat and went out The latest newspaper contained a statement from the White House. The President retiuested that on the morrow every one return to work ft promised that the .government would maintain stability in the country and Inveighed violently against the exaggerated reaction of the American people to the scientists’ statement Tony smiled. "Business as usual! Business going on,, as usual, during alterations,” he thought He took a taxi to the Hendrons* apartment More than • block away from the building, be had to ataynion the cab. The enjwd and the polk-e cordon about the aiuirtment both had increased; but certain persons could pass. - Several men. whose voices be could overhear in loud* argument were with Cole Hendron behind the closed doors of the big study on the roof. No one was with Eve. She awaited him. alone. She was dressed carefully, charmingly, as she always was. He pressed her to him for a moment -, and for that instant when he kissed her and held her close, all wonder and terror was sent away. What matter the end of everything. If first he had her! He had never dreamed of such delight to possession as he felt, holding her; he had never dared dream of such response from her—or from any one. He had won her, and she him, utterly. As he thought of the cataclysm destroying them, he thought of it coming to them together/ in each other’s arms; and he could not care. She felt It, fully as he. Her fingers touched his face with a passionate tenderness which tore him. “What's done it for us so suddenly and so completely. Tony?“The shadow of the sword,’ I ry pose, my d^r—oh. my dear! I -»

' member reading It in Kipling when I ■ was a boy, but never understanding It Remember the two in love when they knew that one would surely die? ’There Is no happiness like that ‘ snatched under the shadow of the sword? ” “But we both shall die, if either does, Tony. That’s so much better." . The voices beyond the closed door sbouted louder, and Tony released ner. “Who's here?" Eve said in reply to Tony’s question, “Six men, the secretary of state, the governor, Mr. Borgan, the chief of ■ newspaper chain, two more." She was not thinking about them. “Sit down, but don’t sil near me, Tony; we’ve got to think things out” “Your father’s told them?” “He’s told them what will happen first. I mean, when the Bronson bodies—both of them—Just pass close to the world and go on around the -tin. Tbafs more than enough for them now. It’s not time yet to tell them of the encounter. You see. the mere passing close will be terxlble enough.” Kvhy?” \Becanse of the-tides, for one thing.

DEMOCRATS PROMISED LOWER TAXES; THEY HAVE KEPT THEIR PROMISE Four years ago (19Je) and again two years ago (1932) the Democrats gave their promises that, if elected, they would lower taxes. The Democrats are now willing to give an accounting for their stewardship in Kosciusko county and in every taxing unit of the county where government was administered by Democratic officials. The following table shows what some prominent tax-payers contributed toward the cost of government in 1931 on tax levies made by Republicans, and how the taxes on the same properties have dropped under Democratic economy, the last column showing how much less the taxes will be in 1935 than those collected this year based on the same valuation: Turkey Creek Township ■ - Leas in Acres 1931 1932 1933 1934 1935 Baugher, Elmer R. 98.76 3175.38 8165.46 $181.62 3 97.58 43.39 Buchtel, Jas.
